Question: When was this product purchased?

I purchased this grinder last June. It is an okay grinder, but it doesn't measure up to my old one - literally. This grinder puts out a LOT of coffee. For instance, I normally add about 4 cups of water to the coffee maker for my morning coffee. With my old grinder, I would turn the dial to 4. It coordinated perfectly with the amount of added water. This grinder, however, puts out a lot more coffee. I only turn it to 2 1/2. It's not a huge gripe I suppose, but I wasted a lot of coffee and drank a lot of bitter brews before finally perfecting it.On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble.Bottom line: It's okay, but you can either get a comparable grinder cheaper or a nicer grinder for the same money in my opinion. My parents own a $60 Cuisinart from Kitchen Collection that works just as well if not better.

Question: What will not stop on this timer unless it is manually halted?

Purchased a different cheap timer at Walmart. When the timer went off you almost had to hold it next to your ear to hear it, never mind being in the next room. Ordered this one. 1st one I rec'd had a defective display that was missing part of the numbers. As usual Amazon was great on the exchange. The new one works great. Like the fact that it also has hours on the timer and can be used as a stopwatch. Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. I find that inconvenient at times, if only for a few moments. Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet, depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall. Could be better designed or have a stronger magnet to keep it in place. Worth the price though, as it is pretty well made and works well.

Question: how do the cubes have to be pushed out of the tray?

I've been using these trays for about 3 months so far and have not noticed any chemical odor on the tray or the ice cubes. The cubes do have to be pushed out of the tray one by one, and placing the filled trays into the freezer can be challenging if you don't put a small baking sheet or Tupperware lid under them.That being said, even though I have a ice maker with ice through the door, I still use these trays because the cubes look cooler, and more importantly, they last significantly longer than my ice makers "cubes" (more like wedges). If you're willing to spend some time getting them into the freezer and out of the trays then these are well worth what you pay.

Question: What should you not do with the new three-piece set?

I needed a larger (4 cup) measuring cup in addition to my old 1 and 2-cup Pyrex cups, but this three-piece set was less expensive than 1 4-cup glass or Pyrex model. I really like the top view graduations on the inside of these cups, because I no longer have to kneel down to get an eye-level view of the measure. I tested the cups using water weighed on an accurate kitchen scale, and the measures were very close. The only question will be how well the plastic cup body stands up over time - I note that the directions warn against heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave.

Answer: heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave.

Question: What is one way the fan can be used while camping?

Some people see this fan as a way to cool the tent while camping, but my family wanted a backup in case our electricity should fail. It's not a replacement for air conditioning, but has plenty of airflow at arm's length, even on the lower setting. High setting should ventilate diners around the kitchen table.When you pack, it folds into a 4" thickness. The battery enclosure is secure. It trades steel housings for light weight, and I think the trade was worthwhile. 8 D cells does make it heavier, but gives it long runtime.

Question: What product should you use to help maintain this product?

It's big, it's beautiful and it the smell reminds me of the beach! the straw mats you lay on It is thick and heavy and sturdy.....love the two tone. Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away) and keep some bamboo oil on hand and your set for a loooong time! :)

Question: What part of this device helps the person adjust it remotely?

I hooked this thing up myself and I'm not terribly handy. I had a little trouble hooking the plastic pieces onto the hose but finally figured out they need to go counterclockwise. Doh!It works like a champ--gets my room cool in 20 minutes (about 300 sq ft). It's pretty heavy, which will be prohibitive to my moving it up and downstairs, but it's doable, if somewhat awkward.I love the automatic room temperature--the fan stays on and the air conditioner turns on only when needed. It has other automated settings I have yet to try but that look helpful.I love the remote! I can adjust it while still lying in bed. Sweet!

Question: What material is this product made from?

i have to say that I am not in love with these spice grinders. I have flax seed in one and course salt in the other. In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top. its very slippery and almost impossible to turn. the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar. what really is disappointing is the fact that the salt falls out in one very small area.....so i get a big sprinkling of a large amount of salt on just a small portion of the plate. no matter how fast i move the grinder, it still ends up in one small pile, which is way to much salt.it takes FOREVER to grind flaxseed in these! i will return these....and stick with the old fashion cheapie wooden pepper mill.

Question: What was the reason the reviewer kept the product?

I have been watching this desk for months. I read all the reviews and when it went down in price with free shipping, I decided to take my chances.The desk arrived within days, to which I was very pleased. As said by other reviews, there was not adequate packing materials to protect the wood. I inspected the pieces of wood as I removed them from the box and noticed a split on the front piece to the left of the keyboard door. I thought if it had to be damaged, why not in a less visual area. I used some wood glue and fixed the problem. Assembly took less than an hour. I just needed a phillips screw driver for the screw behind the knob on the keyboard door. The legs came with their own tool for the nuts/bolts. The wood is beautiful and matches the honey pine furniture I have in the room where this desk is now located. I have a 22" flat screen monitor and an HP printer on it and have plenty of room to work. The actual PC is on the floor under the desk. There is room for it on the desk, but I don't like a cluttered look.Again, this is one of those items that you have to take your chances hoping it is not damaged with you receive it. I doubt the company would reimburse me a percentage off due to the damage. I decided to live with the damage as it would be too costly to return it and take my chances on a new one, which could be damaged even more.Less the damage, it is a great quality piece of furniture.

Question: What stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later?

I bought this container after I took vegetable soup in its supermarket container to work, and the lid came loose. (My bag FINALLY stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later.) It is great. I like soup piping hot, so I usually take my soups, beans, chili, and other more liquid lunch items cold, then microwave at work. However, just to see how well the container held heat, I did heat at home first a few times, and I was impressed with its performance. Even many hours later, my food was still hot enough to be enjoyable. The container is also easy to clean, absolutely leakproof, and resistant to food stains or lingering food aroma. Great, great lunch container.

Question: The customer found the only way for this product to be useful was to do add what to the bottom?

The item pictured is on a cork product is not on a slant. I didn't find that it kept wine chilled on its own. Im not sure how it would I had a normal sized wine bottle and the sides of the container were not even close to touching the sides on the bottle. But if you place ice in the bottom and a little water it becomes a makeshift ice bucket and that does the job. Using it this way I like it because you can see the label.

Question: Whats the main pro of the product?

My bedroom is very dusty for some reason. I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter. But I didn't want some monstrous thing sitting in the middle of the room. This was an ideal solution. It fits on my nightstand perfectly and I run in 24/7. It's not super quiet, but the white noise is actually a bit soothing. It did take a few days for me to get used to it. The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. After a month or so I took a look at the filter - it was covered in dust - but I simply vacuumed it clean and it seems good as new. Great benefit in my opinion. I hate constantly buying and replacing filters. No need here. Nice, tabletop unit.

Question: What should be combined with water to clean this product?

This electric kettle replaced an older model that has worked for 4 years, until the on-off switch became unreliable.This kettle is fantastic and I love watching the water boil through the clear screen in front. The water boils quickly, the kettle is stylish and easy to clean, the filter is removable for cleaning of hard water deposits, and replaceable, AND the pour spout is wide and offers very little spillage.For the price, this kettle will be on my counter for as many years as it will provide us service. No more burnt pots on the stove left unattended by another family member. Never have to remember to turn off the stove, this kettle shuts off automatically. The best way to clean hard-water deposits is to use 1/4 apple cider vinegar in 3 cups of water; boil contents, let sit, clean with non-scratch pad. Presto, and brand new. Enjoy.

Question: what can be purchased to go along with the memo center?

I had been looking for a magnetic note pad center for quite some time and I just couldn't find one that I really liked. Then I came across the Forma Memo Center and I really liked what I saw. It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator. So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup. I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. They have a great weight to them and the magnetic backing is more than capable of holding it in place. They also look very nice, much better than I expected them to look. While it looks nice in the picture, it definitely looks much better in person. We have a stainless steel refrigerator so the memo center and pencil cup just blend right in. If your looking for a stainless steel magnetic memo center then you should definitely give this one a look.5 stars!

Question: What kind of batteries do you need?

After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. No regrets. Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. It's fun to see when your friends come over and watch their face as the trash can opens. I've had two grown men friends sitting there playing with the trash can. That in itself is reason enough to get it. Occasionally I walk by and it opens on its own but no big deal. I don't really use the on/off button or even the open/close button. Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen!!Another great purchase from amazon!!

Question: What puts holes in the the garbage bag?

These hangers are worthless, and even put holes in your garbage bag when you throw them away.They are even pre broke when you buy them.I bought like 75 of them last spring, and a year later I have maybe 15 left, and only because they are in the back of my closet.Save your money, and find better hangers, this brand, and others that sell the same under different names should be banned from Amazon.Cheap, not when you have to buy more soon after.

Question: Where was the water tested?

Tested tap water was 184. So not bad for Springfield, MO However I can definitely taste the difference. And after it did deliver after filtration to 000 tpm. We have lots of lime in our water so will see how long filter last. So far no acidic taste. If u don't drink ALL that 23 CUPS in a day or two. Expect it to take on a taste if ur refrigerator. As this us not sealed system. We drink it all in at least 2DAYS. If we don't we dump the remaining and rinse container. And start new batch . It does have a tiny bit of taste but still nothing as bad as the tap water. Maybe adding a tiny tiny pinch of sea salt to container will make it less acidic tasting and add some increased ph back to the water and it also adds nutrients back. . However I love knowing my body and kidneys are not going clog up from all the sediments and some chemicals.

Question: How many times did the 12 cup coffee pot work?

I'm like one of the other reviewers. I've owned the 3 cup, 6 cup, and when my husband constantly asked me to make another cup for him in the morning, I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes.Well it didn't work out that way. The first couple of times it worked well and I was excited. But then it was a crap shoot.Sometimes it would brew the coffee, while other times it would not. Now it just won't push the steam through at all. After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up. Not worth the head ache. I've gone back to using my trusty old 6 cup espresso maker.

Been using this product for 6-weeks. Works great, single hand operation is nice. Would recommend using rechargeable batteries or you'll be buying six AAAs every month. I use this primarily for seasoning meats before going on the grill.

Question: What happened to the second mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Question: What should the unsatisfied people do?

First rule of thumb, if you don't have a Faberware skillit, it might not fit. Me, on the other hand, have a Faberware skillit. This lid fits perfectly! No complaints at all.I got the glass lid so I can see what is going on in my pan.So to all you nay-sayers out there, try buying a lid from the maker of your cooking vessel! Would you buy car parts for a Ford from a Toyota dealer??? Of course not! They might sorta fit, but it is never the same.Don't hold a manufacturer responsible for their product NOT fitting something they had not manufactured!

Question: Which type of Tofu works the best?

I originally panned this item because it didn't press the tofu, it destroyed it.The seller, on seeing my poor review, contacted me and offered some suggestions.Turns out the problem wasn't the press or even me. It was the tofu.I had always used that shelf stable stuff and even though I bought the ones labeled "Extra Firm" it still crumbled and fell apart.I discovered a Tofu factory near me and bought some fresh made tofu.What a revelation!Not only do I like tofu now, the press work like a dream!No more splitting, crumbling and falling apart.I wrap the block in a layer of paper towel and press it... tightening down the screws a little at a time.Even better, I LIKE tofu now! I use it a lot.I guess that stuff that comes in a box has its uses but I will no longer buy it.I know not everyone has a tofu factory near by but I think the tofu sold in the plastic tubs with water would work as well.

Question: What does the author describe as 'solid'?

So... I'm fairly new in the kitchen. I recently bought a nice (red) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. While the included attachments worked just fine I splurged a little and got the upgrade whip along with the coated paddle and hook. Really, I had no complaints about the original whip (actually never used it) but I can say this one works well enough and maybe the extra wires are a benefit I don't have the experience to appreciate.The build quality is solid as expected. I did not have to adjust my bowl height to accommodate the new whip. It works as expected and cleans up easily. It is what you'd expect from KitchenAid I think.

Answer: build quality

Question: How long has the reviewer had their cooker?

I have only had this rice cooker for a short time, but have been very satisfied with it's performance. I haven't used the vegetable steamer yet, only the rice cooker, so my review is only for the rice cooker portion. This cooks rice (white & brown) very nicely. I followed other reviewers advice and rinse the rice well before cooking. I also add a little olive oil to the water. This seems to keep the rice from browning too much on the bottom. I will try and follow up after I've had this for a while.

Question: is the product sturdy?

The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. I can only fit Le Creuset 5qt Braiser, 5.5qt Round, 3.5qt Round Wide and that's about it. The top 3 shelves are for 8.5" and smaller pots which is pretty dang small. I can't fit my oval skillet (I hung it from a hook on the curl at the top of the rack) but no room for a 3.75qt Covered skillet. The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price. Not sure if I will keep it since 3 shelves remain unusable for me. Too bad, the price was just right.

Question: How many did he buy?

I purchased two of these dredges to keep salt and pepper handy on my stovetop. I am very happy with that decision, and am planning to buy several more for sugar, seasoned salts, and other spices. This item is solid and well-manufactured; the tops screw on easily and fit snuggly. It is important to note that these dredges are made of POLISHED stainless steel and are shinier (and more attractive) that the photo suggests. I only gave this item four stars because Winware does not seem to make interchangeable tops with larger holes for their stainless steel dredges like they do for their plastic dredges. I would like to be able to use the stainless dredges for Splenda, dried parsley, etc.

Question: What are the two rooms the purifiers were placed in?

We have a house with an open floor plan, and were not yet ready to install a HEPA filter on the furnace. We bought a couple of these for smaller spaces, and a different larger purifier for the largest space. These have been great! My husband (an allergist) has recently become very allergic to the cats. By banning the cats from the bedroom (every allergist's first recommendation), and using these in the bedroom and his office, those spaces are constant "safe" zones. I am very pleased. I'm back online to purchase two more because I love what these do for the air circulation in our poorly ventilated house. The upstairs is chronically 5-10 degrees warmer than the main level, and our bedroom unit circulates the air such that our room in more comfortable than it has been in years. We are putting these in the kids rooms in place of their white noise machines (on the highest filtration setting, the "white" wind noise of these purifiers is more pleasant than the machines we use), and to improve air circulation. When I vacuum the filter, it is always filthy, but it doesn't seem to ever be overfull, the unit seems to always be effective. By having two more of these, we expect it will improve the overall air quality as well as circulation. For the price, I definitely recommend these!(BTW, for those wondering about ionizing units, the ionizing units release ozone, and the allergy community feels that even the small amount of ozone released can be more irritating to asthmatics than the allergens, and thus the latest recommendations say to avoid any purifier that releases ANY amount of ozone. My husband had us turn off our furnace air filter and remove the ionizing coils, and just replace the coils with a cardboard filter. It's hardly a perfect fix, but it is better than the ozone (we didn't realize) it was releasing before. We'll get a whole house HEPA eventually, but one step at a time...)

It's hardly a perfect fix, but it is better than the ozone (we didn't realize) it was releasing before. We'll get a whole house HEPA eventually, but one step at a time...)

By banning the cats from the bedroom (every allergist's first recommendation), and using these in the <hl> bedroom and his office <hl> , those spaces are constant "safe" zones.


Question: When did the reviewer purchase the product?

We purchased this on Jan 29, 2014. Now less than 5 months later the teflon coating is coming off in our baked waffles. We use it every day and care for it per Cuisinart's instructions. I'm nursing a 3 month old baby, and I can't be eating teflon unknowlingly. No one should be! I'm going to try and post pictures. In addition to the obvious product flaw, this waffle maker gets extremely hot steam (burn worthy) that pours forth from where the handle attaches between the iron plates. The iron plates get hotter in the middle and so the waffles don't cook evenly. They get darker in the middle and the edges are still soft. But my major complaint is the peeling teflon.

Question: The popcorn tastes better when cooked in what?

No more bagged microwave popcorn for me. I've used this with and without oil and with butter flavored cooking spray. The biggest drawback is I've been reintroduced to popcorn popped in oil and it is delicious! Without oil is ok too and the cooking spray is ok, but I was surprised at how much I liked it popped with oil. This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. It's tremendously cost effective because popping corn in a jar is much cheaper than buying bagged microwave popcorn. You also have control over what you put on it - nothing, butter, spray butter, seasonings. If you love popcorn, I recommend this popper.

Question: How many people did they let taste?

Having made my first batch with the included mix I found it very easy and the instructions very clear. I used tap water filtered through a Walgreens pitcher filter with a Culligan cartridge in it and the beer tasted very good to me. I followed the instructions exactly as many other reviewers suggested. For a real test I gave some to four different people to try and they all liked it. Their opinions ranged from this is good beer to this is great and I didnt have the heart to tell them how easy it was. They are convinced I have this exotic brewery but with this kit and following the instructions you will get a nice beer.

Answer: four

Question: What setting did the author use over several days?

Pros:Can be used with no powerThe price is rightEasy clean upCons:Grind consistency is lacking. I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press. There are large chunks of bean in with the grinds. My electric blade "grinder" has the same consistency and all I have to do is push a button and walk away.The nut on the top always comes loose when grinding. I have to stop every few turns and re-tighten it or the handle will eventually fall off.The hopper jams a lot if the grinder is left on the counter top. I have to pick it up so that the motion of turning the handle will cause the beans to fall into the grinder.

Question: What was the product being reviewed?

I did not like this product. I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean.Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner.CONS:- very difficult to cut, especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend. At least look for something without the ridges and that is not so stiff!

Question: While being used twice a day how does the unit maintain quality?

I use different temps for different coffees and teas. The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. I have resisted the impulse to use the spout as a second handle. It would seem a bad idea, but it's very tempting. The handle is well designed with a nice little projection on the inside to keep it from slipping through one's hand as the pot is tilted. A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users.

Question: How did the first product arrive?

1st one arrived defective -- the button would not stay down unless you pushed it off to the side or held it down. Seems like whatever the catch is that keeps it down was broken. There was no issue in getting it replaced, they sent a replacement within 2 days and it has worked perfectly from the start. You have to follow the directions before the first use, heating it on the highest heat cycle for 3 times to burn off the "new" smell and I think to help adjust the thermostat maybe. Directions also tell you where to put your toast for even heating depending on single, multiple, thick or thin slices. We find that setting 2 is fine for most toasted bread.

Question: What is missing?

I am very happy with both the size and quality of the Proctor Silex roaster. It does not come with a rack though so I looked on Amazon to find one that would fit and found the Harold Imports Roasting Rack that fits perfectly. Amazon reviews used to allow a link to other products on their site but evidently doesn't any more so if you want to copy & paste the link, here it is:http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HM83X2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1I used the roaster for the first time yesterday and it fit a large chicken with potatoes and carrots nicely. One warning though, don't use roasting bags with it. I used a Reynolds Oven Cooking Bag which I have used before in my oven but found that in a small roaster where the bag touches the sides it burned through the bag in several places and left burned plastic residue on the sides of the roaster that was very difficult to scrub off. This was NOT a problem with the roaster but with the thin plastic roasting bag I unwisely decided to use.

Question: What does the author prefer?

If you are deciding between Zenith etagere brand or Elegant home etagere products , I suggest you should choose Elegant home. I bought one of each item intended for two different bathrooms and after buying both products, here is my list of observations that lead to the following opinion: The Zenith was not exactly like you are buying a ready to use etagere with minor assembly required. Its really like you received a "build it yourself project kit" with lots and lots of bitty pieces to assemble You can expect to spend many hours to build your own etagere cabinet. As I painfully turned the many tiny screws by hand into the wood to affix the hinges my wrist became sore Then the cheap porous chipboard wouldnt support the weight of the door and it crumbled into powder. The Elegant home was great. It was partially preassembled with hinges already attached and easy turn cam bolts which can disaasemble or reassemble without damage if you make a mistake You get what you pay for because the price isn't the same.

Question: What was the style of first mattress that made it so uncomfortable?

bought a air mattress from local Wal-Mart.(NOT a Serta) daughter and son in law used it over holiday stay over and was so uncomfortable they could not use it a 2nd night. intending to return to store for money back, or store credit, I ordered the serta queen from amazon the next morning. it was here in 2 days. been using on and off since dec. 2013. has held its air since dec. and it is now march. very comfortable. by the way, wal mart refused to take mattress back. had to exchange for identical product, (pointless!) or a air mattress of greater expense. (I refuse to dig a deeper hole with walmart!!!) so if anyone wants a washboard style air mattress, I have one for sale. like new! the serta mattress is excellent for an air mattress, and amazon return policy is superior if needed.

Question: When did the iron seem to lose "steam" and not stay consistently hot?

The price was great on this iron, and I normally like DeLonghi products, so decided to give this a try rather than purchase a Rowenta. I like the iron... the size, the look of it, the ceramic and titanium soleplate, the way the water is easy to add. I haven't yet decided if I like it when I'm doing a lot of ironing that requires steam. The steam does not consistently produce, which seems to indicate that it's not staying consistently hot even when on a high setting in order to produce the steam. This happened when I was ironing something large. I don't know yet if this is a manufacturing flaw, so can't give it a five-star rating. If I find that it is a flaw, then I'll lower the rating, but want to check into this more first.

Question: What can this product be used for?

This is a fantastic piece. I had had all of my jewelry in a drawer, but it was getting too cramped, so I bought this. It's compact yet has lots of room and compartments. It hangs nicely in a closet and doesn't take up much space. The best part (and I didn't realize until I got it) is that it will easily fit into a small suitcase, which makes it great for bringing (and keeping safe!) all your favorite jewelry when traveling. There are pockets on both sides, so you can store a lot of stuff. I'm so happy I bought this and highly recommend it!

Question: why does the dust holder have trouble staying attached to the device?

It is so easy to use, I can stand in one spot and vacuum a large area at one time. Having two batteries is great, as the one in it (not in the charging holder) goes down quickly, but the back-up finishes my house. Three problems: 1. There's a screw on the side between the handle and the bottom that won't stay screwed in. 2. The bristles have to be checked every time to clean it, with my shoulder-length hair. 3. The dust holder just barely stays on the unit; the button that holds it in place barely fits right.It was real easy to put together from the box.But it picks up great and fast and easy, and always amazes me that I can make such a mess to fill the filter!
