Question: Is the price worth it?

The American Weigh SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale is one of the best purchases I ever made. It's even better than I expected. It's small enough to slip into my kitchen drawer when I'm not using it. It's less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high. It has a 4 inch square weighing platform. It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes, and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. It's so easy to use and store. I tested the accuracy with a 50 g calibrating weight - this scale is absolutely accurate to fractions of whole numbers. I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous.

Question: What problem have they had with cheaper door racks?

Over the years one thing is sure about closet hardware. There are a few good solutions and a whole lot of bad ones out there. Fortunately this Oxo door rack is one of the good ones. This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks. Scuffing is zilch because this flex fit rack is outfitted with silicone contact points. Unlike other over the door racks that I've purchased, this product does not slide and bang against the door. Thanks to the padded hooks, I've had absolutely no problems with garments or hats slipping off and falling to the floor. Unlike the cheapies out there, I've had no issues with opening or closing the closet door. This Oxo product is a welcome closet tool that I use and can easily recommend.

Question: WHhat kind of shaker do they use normally?

The shaker itself is great, but the scale should read up to at least 16 oz.In contrast, I have a cheap Boston shaker with a rubber gasket that costed $10 at BevMo, and it has a scale that reads up to 16 oz.Not everyone makes 3 oz martinis.I'm an ice junkie. I need all my beverages ice cold, whether it's iced tea or iced coffee. Whatever I drink, I love using a Boston shaker to get the job done.While the seal mechanic itself is great, it's a shame that the company only makes this model for 10 oz...Forgiving if it was $20, but for a $50 two-piece shaker, it's a deal breaker because you expect so much more. Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality. I don't wanna bust out a measuring cup/shot glass/jigger everytime I'm gonna drink something... 'cause I literally shake at least six drinks at various times of the day.

Question: What are the measuring cups made from?

I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. These measuring cups are no exception. They are made from reinforced steel and have a great rubber handle. I've had zero problems with bending and have used them extensively on wet and dry ingredients since owning. They wash up great in the dishwasher and are a substantial weight - not too heavy, but they don't feel cheap. The only drawback I can see is the price; however, with everything, you get what you pay for. I highly recommend these measuring cups!

Question: What did the author say was a positive thing about the grinder?

I used this product for a few months, then experienced the same problem many other reviewers faced with the grinding bowl getting stuck in the unit. I gave up on it and put it in the cupboard, intending to contact Cuisinart about it and get it replaced under warranty. I went back to grinding my coffee at the supermarket (sacrilege, I know).About a week ago, I picked up a bag of whole bean coffee and decided to give this thing another go. Miraculously, the grinding bowl came free with ease. I used it for about a week and then, sure enough, the grinding bowl is stuck again.I've had enough - I'm totally done with this grinder. And now that I think about it, it never did a great job with the beans. The grind size was always inconsistent, no matter how many beans I put in the grinding bowl. Also, getting the cord back into the unit is a pain.The only positive thing I can say about this is that it LOOKS great. If all you're looking for is a conversation piece, by all means buy this... but if you want to grind coffee beans, buy something else.

Question: They compared their recent purchase to which previous purchase?

The concept is great. However, these small blenders don't pack the necessary power for my type of use. I need something heavy duty. I have a Vitamix and am used to the power of this type of blender. I like to mix frozen berries into smoothies and this wasn't very good at doing this for me. So, this was a huge step down for me in terms of power. Since I purchased this item at Costco I was glad to not have to receive this item in the mail, only to have to pay for return shipping.I guess it's fine for very small jobs but it will not give you the power to do everything. I'll stick with a Vitamix.

Question: What item did this person buy?

I truly love this pan. It is worth every penny I paid for it. I usually cook with Calphalon (the original), but after researching grill pans, decided this would be the one and I have never regretted the purchase. I use this pan 3-4 times per week; it does well with fish, steak, hamburgers and the ubiquitous chicken breasts. I also grill peppers and onions on it for fajitas. Cleaning is really never a chore; don't ruin the pan by trying to put it in the dishwasher, though. Not a replacement for my BBQ, but much easier to fire up, especially during the cold 2009 winter in OR.

Question: What stopped working after the spinner motor stopped working?

I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed. I would guess I maybe used it 200 times total. Unfortunately one day the spinner motor stopped working. That wasn't a huge deal as it could chill cans really quickly with just the water pump. But eventually the water pump stopped working as well. The thing started smoking one day and completely died. Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer.

Question: What is the fabric like?

From the picture on the web, thought the color was a soft pink/peach but it's actually khaki. Wish Amazon would have simply described it as KHAKI so it's clear what the color is -- and then I would have given it 4 stars. (What IS "terragon"? The spice is spelled differently.) Yes, it's the dimensions stated and not very poofy. The fabric is different on each side. I bought it as a gift for a little girl for her small bed, for in the car, for watching TV, etc. The material is stiff but looks like it might soften in the wash, and if a kid is using it, it will be washed frequently, so that's fine by me. Pink would have been cuter, but khaki's not so bad. If you want a big poofy down comforter, this is not what you are looking for. Would be a great modern version of the lap blanket for someone in a wheelchair.

Question: Why does the author want to gift this product to his grandmother?

I was in desperate need of a can opener, and this little guy saved the day. It is extremely easy to use! Even someone who struggles in the kitchen, like myself, feels like a pro using this can opener. I have to be honest, I didn't think the can opener was working when I first used it. It cut into the lid so smoothly I couldn't tell it was working. I kept turning and suddenly the lid was off. (insert joke about men being fish out of water in the kitchen). It was slightly embarrasing, but I have never used a hand held can opener that was so easy to operate. I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. I know she will love it too!

Question: What did I buy?

I've had my sodastream for a few weeks now and love it. It is easy to use, and I love the end result. I drink a lot of soda, and am used to buying big 2-liter bottles, or 12 or 24 packs of drinks. Having a sodastream means fewer trips to the store. It means that any given day I can make whatever flavor I fancy on a whim, rather than having to go a week drinking the same thing. Personally I think the 1-liter bottles are the perfect size. I typically keep 3 different ones in the fridge at any given time.I'm really impressed by the quality and variety of flavors. They have all the "usual" flavors: cola, lemon-lime, root beer, dr pepper etc. And compared to the "named brands", Sodastream's flavors match up very well imo. But they go way beyond that, with all kinds of exotic (and really good) flavors too. I was afraid originally that my choices would be restricted since I buy strictly diet drinks, but now. They have a huge variety of excellent sugar-free drinks.I'm very happy with my sodastream, and I'm sure I will be a customer for a long, long time.

Question: What were some of the positive characteristics sited about the grinder?

I read the reviews then decided to order it. All went well with shipping, seller, etc. It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. For me, the only little problem is sometimes trying to get the top on after filling it with beans - it's hard to tell where to set the top exactly and how to get it to twist so the arrows are aligned, so sometimes I have fiddled with it awhile before it clicks. Also, pouring the ground coffee out into a paper filter can be a little sloppy, but that is probably the case with any grinder. It is heavy, so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. All in all, I would buy this again and stick with this model.

Question: In what direction does one operate the peeler?

I do not use the julienne tool but the peeler alone is worth the money. It is the best peeler I have ever used. It is very slightly serrated and has never gotten dull. If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. You can get into a fast rhythm instead of the peeler sliding off the veggie/fruit every couple of strokes with a flat-bladed peeler.

Question: What feature is great for keeping all your detergents at hand?

When I went off on a college internship, I knew space was going to be tight. This hamper is very durable and great for taking your items to the laundry and then toting them back to your apartment. The Pocket on the side is great for keeping all your detergents at hand especially if there are doors you have to open or even 3 flights of stairs in my case; great to have at least one hand free when walking. The best part of this hamper is the flexibility of it. If you don't need it you can fold it flat, and even twist and fold it up to just about the size of your hand. Even now back at home, I still love using this hamper for toting my cloths to the washer and dryer. This hamper beats a traditional cloths basket any day, hands down.

Even now back at home, I still love using this hamper for toting my cloths to the washer and dryer. This hamper beats a traditional cloths basket any day, hands down.


Question: What material is the item made of?

I have mixed feelings on this product because it has some very good aspects and one very irritating aspect.The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. I use this whisk for scrambled eggs every week and they come out perfectly each time. The whisk is aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and when put together it's just a twist of the base to open the whisk, or you can use it in the "flat mode" as well - it all depends on what you're cooking.It's also very easy to clean the product becomes it comes apart completely. You pull the base node out which unlocks all of the whisks and they can be removed and washed separately. Unfortunately, this is where the downside comes into play...putting it back together.There's only ONE way the base node fits back in, and if you get the whisk parts misaligned in even the slightest way it will not lock back into place without a bit of difficulty. In one case I had to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn the metal locking pin at the bottom so I could snap the base node back in. This one aspect has made me avoid taking the whisk apart to clean it - just toss it in the dishwasher or run under hot soapy water in the sink to clean up the brushes. And...unless you're submerging it in some stew or soup, you really do not need to take it completely apart to clean it.Overall I am mixed. It works well as a whisk or in "flat mode" but trying to put it back together after dismantling to clean...yeah not so much.

Question: What's the name of the newest model from Cuisinart?

I've used a few of the modern freeze the bowl type machines. One that attaches to my kitchenaid a Cuisinart machine from ages ago and the newer Ice-21 from Cuisinart. All share the same simplicity compared to rock salt and ice as well as the inconvenience (and need for space) of pre-freezing the bowl. All also make ice cream as good as your recipe allows for, provided the bowl is frozen solid and your ingredients are chilled.What separates them, well the Cuisinart Ice-21 is a bit more handsome and a bit better built for a few extra bucks. The Kitchenaid one costs more and requires a Kitchenaid mixer, but it sure was sturdy and well made. Here you have the cheap option, but as noted the Cuisinart is a better value if it's within $10 of this. The parts on the T-fal aren't as easy to assemble and disassemble, and I fear it may break. Then again, this isn't a bad machine.

Question: What season was the fan used?

I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. I use it every day in the summer and spring. I've never had to change the batteries in the remote in all that time, and it works as well now as it did on the first day of use. The base had to be installed on the fan when it was taken out of its box. My husband did that and said it wasn't hard. I've used all the various settings on the fan, including oscillation, and it works quietly on all settings. I've used it in both my home office and in my bedroom, and I ended up keeping it in my my bedroom because its 40-inch height allows the air it blows to easily reach a person lying on a bed. Also, if I get cold in the middle of the night, the fan's remote allows me to turn off the fan without having to get up.In spite of its height, the fan is light and easy to move. It has an indented hand-hold at its top which makes it easy to pick up the fan and move it from room to room or store it in the garage during the winter.Based on my experience with this fan, I would be happy to purchase another one just like it if the need ever arose.

Question: What did the product produce after being washed and dried?

With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW, I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it.Very happy with this! It's super soft, very warm, not too heavy, and doesn't slip around. I ordered the "sage" color -- it's a soft almost neutral sage/olive green that works well in a lot of palettes.I've washed it once, and put it through the dryer. It did produce significant amount of "fuzz," but most of it remained in the dryer on the filter, and I haven't noticed much on the bed.I definitely would purchase this again.

Question: Who did reviewer buy the three products for?

I have purchased three of these - one for me and two for friends. While nothing will keep an open bottle of wine forever, the Vacu Vin extends the life of the wine for up to a week. Instead of pouring bad wine down the drain I can now finish it! It has paid for itself many times over - if you live alone and enjoy a glass of wine with your dinner ( not an entire bottle) I encourage you to try the Vacu Vin. By removing the air from the bottle it preserves the taste and quality of your wine far better than replacing the cork.

Question: Why did the reviewer purchase this set of measuring cups?

If you like a good solid measuring cup then look no further! I was looking for a set of measuring cups to use as a scoop for my dog, cat and bird foods. These are stainless steel and strong. I've used plastic ones and the handles generally snap. The handles on these are nice in that they feature non-slip handles. When scooping the pet food you don't lose your grip and spill kibble or seed all over the place. They do come with a plastic ring that you can use to keep the cups together and then when you need one you can easily slip it off. I don't really need this feature, but it is a nice way to keep them together.

Question: What does the author proclaim that the globe of corks will do?

I assisted in the decoration of a wine and cigar lounge in my hometown. The cigar lounge portion was adorned with the usual trappings but the House of Corks wire cork cages were just what the Doctor ordered. the cages are much sturdier than i imagined they would be. Shiny in appearance and antique looking. This cage does not come with any corks but instead has a drop hole built into it that allows the user to easily add their finest corks to the inner space. this globe of corks will hold a world of your fondest memories.

Question: How is the cleanup after popping?

This is such a fantastic gadget. Honestly, read the packets of your microwave popcorn. Then go a step further and count the calories in that made with oil. Sure you have your fiber, but you just don't need all that to get a favorite snack.Enter this one...It's small but is a workhorse when needed for a party, popping 18 cups of popcorn in under 3 minutes. But here is the kicker: You can eat TWO cups of popcorn for only 30 CALORIES AND NO CALORIES FROM FAT.Win!Nearly 90 percent less fat than regular popped popcorn.So how does it work? With hot air. That also means there is virtually no clean up after use.It is easiest enough to use that even kids can do it and it comes with a butter or margarine melter that is also a measuring cup.Very few kernals were left unpopped. I bought Bob's Red Mill popcorn to use with it because they focus on the natural and I wanted a totally healthy snack. ( I have no affiliation but use lots of their stuff.)It's a clean and beneficial snack in so many regards and it fills you up for hours. And, at this low calorie a snack, why wouldn't you love it?

Question: How can you get this function back?

We bought this atrocity 8 months ago. the thermal carafe does not keep the coffee hot for starters. The idiot who designed the program feature is laughing the whole way tot he bank. The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. the clock and auto program function are so ridiculous it is annoying. I would steer clear of this machine. Oh yes, and the top of the carafe doe snot come apart to clean. Again, Do NOT buy this lousy machine.

Question: What brand is this product being compared to?

Ok here is a review you can count on as I have been preparing fondue for many many years now and I thought I would give this make a try. BIG mistake at least for oil cooking such as beef and chicken. The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. The Trudeau has a fork holder/splatter ring that is way too big and leaves little room for cooking even for just two people. Four people cooking would be a mess. It is better for cheese or chocolate compared to Cuisinart though as it has the insert bowl to keep the cheese or chocolate from sticking, and is easy to clean up. The Cuisinart is a MUCH better overall fondue pot and for a LOT less money, plus it is dishwasher safe. The Cuisinart also has a non stick coating (great for oil cooking but not cheese) which is awesome. The only problem with the Cuisinart is the absence of an inner bowl insert for cheese and chocolate. The Trudeau is way overpriced for what you get. Think twice on this one.

Question: How long did it take to install?

I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly. Installation was a snap as the wall stud was centered behind the TV, and I had installed the whole thing in less than 15 mins. What I don't like are the cable covers - they're OK if you only have 2-3 sets of cables and the shelves are distanced enough to give you room to install the covers. If you're like me and you have AV equipment with multiple cable connections, then there's no way those cables will fit in the space allotted for the covers to snap into place. The only thing I could do was zip-tie the cables, then place the covers between the shelf support and the cables - the pressure from the cable bunch held the cover in place - trying to snap it into place would be impossible. Overall though, an excellent unit. Highly recommend.

Question: What are the consumers feelings about the coffee pot?

BOUGHT THIS COFFEE POT FEB. 10 GOT IT ABOUT 15-just got around to using it because I'v been waiting to buy tea pot for boiling water-I wanted to make the pot so I would know how much water to put in the pot.

I love my coffee pot have no complaints about it but the math on the box just did'nt add up- Thought you might like to know my observation-but again you may have already figured this out for your self.

Question: Where did the customer purchase the oven thermometer?

I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. After 1st use my probe stopped working (maybe it was defective). Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). To my surprise, the new probes had stainless steel shielding all the way from where it plugs into the unit to the probe itself. Now this is how it should have been made to begin with. The replacement probes were genuine Polder products. Even with the added expense of the better probes I still plan on keeping this unit for a very long time.

Answer: Amazon

I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. After 1st use my probe stopped working (maybe it was defective). Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. <hl> I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). <hl> To my surprise, the new probes had stainless steel shielding all the way from where it plugs into the unit to the probe itself.

Question: What is it intended for?

I had high expectations when I ordered this product. I was hoping that it would be as nice as my tupperware cupcake carrier, only with a handle. Well, don't order this thinking it's going to be a piece of tupperware. Nothing's further from the truth. It's made of that "easy to crack" plastic, making you leery of putting it down anywhere unsafe for glass. It does include a small, glass pie plate which would be nice if it was a deep dish but alas, it isn't. It can hold about a dozen cupcakes too, if you don't just put them all in the pie plate area. But be careful transporting - they'll get all over the place! It's good for its intent - as a pie carrier. I suppose that this is nice for things like picnics, informal get-togethers, etc., but if you're really going to a fancy holiday party, this guy just WON't be appropriate. Just wish the plastic was of a better quality. Recommend, but with the above disappointments.

Question: What brand of water filter is the Mavea brand better than?

The Maeva Universal Filter 2 pack is a great alternative to buying the Brita replacement filters because they just don't need presoaking. In our home we have very hard water and so we use both the water pitchers and the larger three gallon dispenser in our refrigerator. WThe Mavea filter fit in both units absolutely perfectly. Unlike Brita filters they don't need that presoak or the need to run at least two to six pitchers of water just to get the grayish carbon residue out of the water in order to get it to come out clear. Even though it technically was not necessary, one rinse sufficed with the Mavea filter and the water ran crystal clear and clean. The water tastes great and it seems to be removing the same level of impurities and are lasting at least the same amount of time as the Brita filters, too. I was very pleasantly surprised with this product and the pricing is comparable. It is most likely that we I will continue to buy this brand over Brita's own.

Question: How is the cupcake holder described as?

My adult daughter hosts tea parties for her daughter, nieces, and other young relatives often. This Ferris wheel cupcake holder is adorable and quite the eye-catching serving piece set up on a table. I love that the wheel actually moves smoothly. We did have to place the smaller-sized cupcakes in the holder, but really, who needs those giant cupcakes anyway. It does require some minor assembly, and if you don't want to take it apart to re-box it, have some storage space planned for it. I think it is a wonderfully whimsical product that is worth the money.

Question: What color does not stain from cooking sauces?

Saw the review for this in Cooks Illustrated and couldn't believe there was a spatula out there that was real rubber and I had missed it, but here it is! Just like the old Rubbermaids of yore. It is all it says that it is! It has a substantial handle a very good sized "head" and a little notch to clean the bowl. There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. At first I thought the 13" was too long, however, it has become very useful for many jobs around the kitchen.Rubbermaid White Spatula 9 1/2"I have found that they do not pick up color, at least not with my pasta sauce or food coloring when baking; nor do the heads pick up any odor, especially when working with pasta sauce and garlic. Ultimately a very useful and dependable tool to have around the kitchen.

Question: What do the gloves offer for storage?

first off, no heat transference at all, not even a little. However, they are very stiff which makes it hard to get a good grip on things you are pulling out of the oven. That is a pretty big deal, but you can achieve better functionality if you really cram your hands into them. I have not been brave enough to test the whole grab a cob of corn straight out of the pot of boiling water or any of those 600 degree limit testing things OXO touts, but all in all I am happy with the purchase. Not gods gift to oven mits but probably just as good as the kitchenaid ones I had before. Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool.

Question: What did the author not save?

I am hoping to send this back, except that I did not save the box! Hopefully, Amazon will accept the return. I was sure I would love it...and I do love the way it looks on my stainless steel stove, but that is about it. When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout! I almost got burnt. The spout is very wide and water just bursts out of it. I much prefer the All Clad pot that I replaced this with. Will be returning this one.

Question: What brand rice cooker is the reviewer writing about?

My husband is the cook in our family and he loves rice so I bought this as a Christmas present. Oster is a great brand -- we own can openers and blenders by Oster -- and they certainly have done their work here.You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren! This cooker does all of that plus can let you slow-cook veggies as well.The thing that we like almost more is that it does come apart easily and cleans well! So many other rice cookers and similar devices if you do not clean the inner "bowl" right after you serve the rice, you see "shadows" of rice on the ceramic type material. This does NOT do that! It cleans easily and really looks brand new when cleaned. No big scrubbing or long soaking needed either.I recommend it!

Question: What rating out of 10 would the reviewer give this air mattress?

I'm glad I bought this mattress. I did it so I would have more bed space for other people when they visit. It fills up fast with the built in pump and lasts all night. I think it does need to be refilled before each use but it doesn't deflate much during the night. (The air latch needs to be properly secured otherwise it will deflate.) Comfort-wise, I would say it's about 7 out of 10. But, it's an airbed so that is sort of to be expected. Size-wise, it's nice and big and fits two adults comfortably.

Question: Why did the Bodum french press break?

I bought this to replace a previous Bodum french press that I shattered when tapping it entirely too hard against the garbage can to get some grounds out. I mention this not as a negative that it broke (because that's my fault) but that I bought another one from this company rather than a cheaper one, not that many are cheaper.I like this one because the mesh at the bottom forms such a good seal that very little of the grinds make their way past it. Some do and that's just the nature of a french press but I feel it does a great job.Other than that a french press is a french press. You get more flavor from your coffee than using a drip and a filter.

Question: According to the customer, some juicers caused what to enter the wheat grass?

I went into major "resarch mode" when looking for a wheat grass juicer. I discovered that other juicers shouldn't be used for wheat grass because their fast speed made for doing other juices means that oxygen enters the wheat grass which breaks down the very properties you drink wheat grass for.but other wheat grass juicers that were the right speed could not do other thigns or other juicers, or cost an arm and a leg as a professional juicer.This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner. I have made pasta with it and fruit juice too and it's a fun machine...but whereas other juicers broke down the wheatgrass so it lost its potency, this gives me the same quality of that I used to purchase at a juicer place, for way less in the long run.We grow wheat grass in a long canister that's gorgeous on the center of our table and just clip it as needed.better than any energy drink on the planet and no additives or preservaties and this one does it so it works!

Question: What did the user purchase?

I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. They obviously don't know how to weld two pieces of metal. In pursuing action on my warranty I find I will be without a frame for the bed for over two weeks at least. Leggett and Platt are not very helpful. Seems I need to wait for the parts and then arrange for a service call. And so on. I was told thatconsidering the damage to the frame they would probably just replace the item. Oh no, they won't. So I will be without a bed for over two weeks and then I wonder once they fix it will it be broken again in another few months. Do yourself a favor, don't buy this product.

Question: Which mixer did the author have first?

This is my third hand mixer in about three months. My old Hamilton-Beach (#1) finally bit the dust, so I decided to purchase this one. Unfortunately I mentioned my intention to my husband, who recommended that I look for something less expensive instead. I did some price-shopping and ended up spending $15.00 on another brand (#2). I got what I paid for. I hope whoever bought it at the local Salvation Army store likes it better than I did. Mixer #3, this Waring, is wonderful. I chose it because several reviewers mentioned that its lowest speed is SLOW, and I agree. My H-B came with a spatter-shield that attached to its housing; this mixer neither has nor needs one. The beaters eject easily, and I love the digital timer. Many recipes direct that a mixture be beaten for a specific length of time, and since I can't see a clock from the counter where I do my mixing, the timer is a definite convenience. I do have a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for heavier items, but this little guy whips up great cakes, frostings, and fillings.
