Question: what kind of cup can fit in it?

First of all I like the small size of the unit since it takes up little room on my counter. But that comes at a price. There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. Nope, you have to manually turn it off when it reaches the right level.Final quirk is that the flow between the two nozzles is seldom even. One side always seems to get the bulk of the flow. Perhaps it is the way I load pods in it. But I only make a cup at a time so that is okay I guess. Which sums up my review. The unit is okay considering the price.

Question: Was the product destroyed after being dropped?

There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work.

Question: To avoid having milk cool their coffee, what setting are they using?

I've had for 8 months now. I've modified (11/11)my review from when I purchased 3/11. What I like:- two heat settings & a non-heat setting- froths like it should- non-stick surface- shuts off automaticallyOnly one time when I used it, it did not shut off automatically and when I smelled it burning I turned it off. The milk was brown - but this is what I like about the non-stick surface, it cleans so easily. I can't imagine buying a frother that does not have a non-stick feature. I can go for weeks w/not using it, then I can go for weeks when I use it daily. So far it's been turning off automatically. I love using the heated setting so the milk doesn't cool my coffee. I use a mixture of heavy creme and milk and it still froths nicely. 2% milk froths even better. After I make the froth, I use a spatula to put in a coffee mug, put the mug under the Keurig dispener and have the coffee go right on top. I can stir afterwards and the froth still stays frothy! So far, it's produced great froth, consistently.

Question: They still have a moka pot that is made of what material?

I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. I still have one actually, but it's a larger (stainless steel) variant. Making coffee in the office, many times I'll want to just make coffee for myself instead of the two cups that the larger model would produce. Sometimes a coworker would take the spare cup of coffee, but often it would go cold sitting there as not everyone can handle such an amazing cup of coffee.This thing is perfect for one american sized cup of coffee with creamer. I use this thing in conjunction with a hot plate in the office. Who needs K-cups?

Question: Why did the author purchase the product?

I got this because it was a convenient size for the refrigerator for my ground flax seed. I like the way that the Sistema Klip system holds the tops on the containers.However, I haven't used it for flax seed at all.The description doesn't tell you, so I don't know if they still send it: The container comes with a strainer and a clip for it. So, dump in your olives. When you are ready to serve them, pull out the strainer, hang it on the inside of the container for a little and served the olives. When you are done, put the olives back in their juice and you are ready for the next meal.

Question: What type of unripe fruit would the product work well with?

The OXO "Good Grips" Lemon Zester has a very good grip indeed. It has a fat handle that gives your hand good leverage when using the single tooth to get long fat strips of lemon zest. Flip the zester over and there is a narrow row of 5 or 6 small round holes that (with some pressure) create nice thin short strips of lemon zest. This tool would also work with unripe papaya to shave into pickled preserves or other papaya recipes. It's not the fastest zester, but it's a lot simpler to clean after using, compared to any larger screen-type grater.

Question: What type of motor is offered with The Dirt Devil Turbo Canister Plus?

The Dirt Devil Turbo Plus Bagged Canister Vacuum was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review. Here's my take on it.This is a sleek-looking machine, a silvery color, lightweight with a carrying handle built in. There are several nice features: weight is one, onboard tool storage is another (all but two of the attachments store on the vacuum or on the wand). The hose snaps in to the canister easily and firmly so it won't loosen as you vacuum. Also, the wand telescopes so you need store only one wand piece. The On/OFF and retractable hose control can be foot operated, saving bending, however, I prefer to use my hand in case I might damage the plastic part. Also, it is suggested that you hold onto the cord as it retracts into the canister. Another nice feature is a variable suction-great for using the floor tool. A turbo tool provides extra agitation for carpet and seems to work well, however, I prefer using an upright for carpeting. I like the idea of using the turbo tool to pick up pet hair since this is something my upright with hose and attachment doesn't do well.The not quite so likable items: the floor brush is suction only, a plastic rectangle with short bristles all around the edge. (By increasing the suction, I was able to effectively clean dirt and debris from my tile floor, but the quality of the attachment seems moderate at best.) The hose is stiff and has a tendency to kink. Amazon does not currently carry the bags for this machine (bags, by the way, are small, so you'll want a good supply of them), however, they can be ordered from Dirt Devil on their website (part no. AD10035--this is for a 3-pack and until 10/12/11 there's a 20% off price and free shipping).The Dirt Devil Turbo Canister Plus has a 12 amp motor and comes with a two-year warranty (Note: stated warranty on Amazon site is two years, on bottom of canister states one year). At just under $130, it delivers a lot for a modest price.

Question: The coffee that this product makes could best be described as being what?

I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. Our French Press is great but many mornings it's just one of us drinking and only one or two cups per day, so I bought this Kuerig product thinking it would be the answer. It is AN answer but the coffee it brews is not. I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak.If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. I reached up to the seal that would prevent the leakage and moved it down a bit but it still leaks.I could probably live with a little water leakage but not the sadly weak brew that results.I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) but this filter just doesn't do it.Perhaps there's too much filter screen and the water isn't allowed enough time in contact with the ground coffee. I've tried cutting the top bit off a K cup and placing it into the My K-cup, then dropping the provided filter in which seems to help, but not much.There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps.This item isn't worth it.

Question: Where do they place the attachment part?

It does technically fit my Eureka Air Speed bagless vacuum, but that's not to say it actually attaches or fits by itself. I place the attachment part into the hose of my vacuum, and as long as I hold it, it fits. This isn't such a problem for me, since I don't need to move the vacuum cleaner while I'm using this kit. I have to hold the hose, anyway, so I just hold it where it attaches. I need something for tiny jobs like my keyboards and other accessories, and it does do the trick. So I am keeping it. But I can see where it would be annoying for other users, and it would be great if the product came with a list of vacuums it is compatible with. Since you can't really hold it up to your own to judge the size, the buyer should be aware that it may not fit. It still works better for me than canned air.

Question: what color are the jars?

I was dissapointed with the Heritage blue Ball jars. Immediately the blue color was cheap looking as compared to the older blue Ball jars. Instead of a rich, ocean blue, they are a candy-colored blue. Looks painted on rather than true blue glass.Also, the lids and rings are too shiny silver and again cheap looking.Then, the size was much smaller than I expected. Too small to can decent portions of food.I decided I did not want to can in these jars due to all of the above reasons. Gave them to a college student friend of mine as she could use anything. She will use them just for dry food storage.

Question: When were the Salt and pepper Grinders first tried?

We first tried these at a friend's dinner party, and immediately ordered a set as a gift and one for ourselves. You can grind the salt or pepper into the base, then measure it out (great for cooking), or take off the base and grind it right onto your meal. You can adjust the grind, too.Everyone who's tried them enjoys them. A great gift and a fun way to salt and pepper your food. (Another plus: there's really no flavor difference between fresh- and pre-ground salt, but this grinder prevents the potential problem of clumping salt in humid weather!)

Question: What is a Brita filter used for?

I live in NYC where the tap water is already above standards. Therefore, i don't need a reverse-osmosis or serious filtration system as if i were living in Southern Cal (where the calcification is ridiculous), or other city with subpar water municipalities. I use a Brita filter simply to remove chlorine taste, but i was fed up with the pricey filter cost. Ecopure is much cheaper, and does the job just as well -- without annoying charcoal particles or slow filtration. I'd say the Ecopure filters about 40-50% faster than Brita, a detail that may seem unimportant but guess what? I don't spend as much time standing in front of the sink waiting to fill up a pitcher.

Question: What did their child do on it frequently?

We bought this cover for our mattresses at home. They work great. Our youngest has had many accidents on it and we just keep washing it. It has breathable sides which is really reassuring in case if any moisture is underneath for whatever reason we don't have to worry about puling the cover off and discovering a mildew.So that is why we bought this last bunch of covers for our ski house. When we are not using it, we are renting it out or lending it to friends / colleagues and we want the mattresses to last forever. Plus is it just more hygienic.

Question: what size bag did the review use to send to his sister?

I do like this set of bags very much.the best bags -size Large and Medium. then Extra Large -very good for the bed stuff. Jumbo Cube -too big, I didn t use it.not yet. the vacuum- seal is amaizing. and so fast. but roll-up travel bags I don t like it at all. that is why I rate only 4 stars. when you put the things inside this travel bag ,then you have to roll it.its not easy,the air doesn t go out .and you have to do it for long time to make it look ok and put it in to your suitcase. i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium vacuum-seal flat bags, the size was so small,it was amazing how many things i put in. I think I will buy them again,only this time I will try to find 2 sizes -Large and Medium

Question: What condition was the product in?

I received the table very quickly and in perfect condition. I just gave it a quick wipe down, conditioned the top and began staining the top and painting the bottom, it's looking great and the wood is a nice quality. Though if you plan to stain, not paint you'll need to give the top a little sanding with 220 grit before applying poly coat.I was so glad to find this table in 36" and with drop leaf, it's a pretty great price too in my opinion. (Though, I wish it were made in America...) it's going to be great for my breakfast nook in the kitchen.

Question: What kind of pot did they opt for?

I have another Breville product (toaster oven) and love it. Had about a year now and it stilll works like when I first got it. Never any trouble or problems. So, I opted for the Stainless steel Electric pot and sure enough, it is just as great as my other Breville. Easy to use and boils very quickly. My last pot was Black & Decker, which by the way, was also an excellent pot.Breville products are a little on the expensive side, but in my opinion they are of good quality with nothing fancy, just basic for what you need to get done.Give them a try.

Question: What brand do they own a complete set?

I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

Question: What source of information that is included with the product should not be relied upon?

The Deni 5600 Yogurt Maker is a good product, especially considering the price. I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it. Using 1/2 cup of natural Greek yogurt as a starter, 1 1/2 cups of 1% milk, and 1/2 cup of dry milk, I get good yogurt in 10 hours. (There are instructions that go with these ingredients that are too long to list here.) It's still slightly thinner than I like, so I'm going to try using 2% milk next time.The big drawback I've found, which I initially thought would be a plus, is the six 6-oz. jars. I didn't know this, but you don't add flavoring until the yogurt is fully incubated, so having separate containers is no particular advantage. In fact, it's less convenient, since I still empty the yogurt into a small bowl before eating it, and that's when I mix in any fruit or flavoring I want. Consequently, the next yogurt maker I buy will be one with a large, 1-qt. container rather than the small individual ones.

Question: What feature makes it collect dust really well?

Easy to put together, a little awkward to use at first but I like how it can get to odd spots. The suction is really good. I waited to sweep until i got it in the mail, and i have a boxer and long haired cat. I like how it doesn't have bristles that can get all clogged up with hair. Easy to dump out the dirt. Not too loud, just normal for a vacuum. After i finished using it, i took a swiffer pad and went over the entire area again and was surprised at how little the vacuum left behind. And that was probably from the few spot i couldn't read with it.

Question: How did this person describe his own body size?

Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? Not me. This touch makes these towels something special.The towels are larger than a standard bath towel, somewhere between the standard size and a bath sheet. I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. The towels arrived with a lot of sizing on them and really need to be washed a couple of times before they are super soft and absorbent. One side is nubby less and absorbent. The other side is super absorbent, smoother, and feels a bit like a microfiber towel (it isn't really that fine, just close to that feeling).These are just so darn nice.

Question: what did they buy to go on the jars?

These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy. This was it! They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars and they look so classy!Buying these was a perfect decision for me, and I will most likely be buying more in the future as I keep learning more and more recipes!

Question: What other shops were used to compare brushes?

I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles. This basting brust solves that problem perfectly! It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table, but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. It should last for years. I recommend it.

Question: How big is the tank?

This is a substantial piece of brass! I realize it's WAY over priced. Everyone is looking to make a buck off the Sodastream bandwagon, it seems. But once you look past the price gouging, it IS worth it. I'm finding that in our area, the price of CO2 seems to be higher than other reviewers. It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod. Just bite the bullet and get it.

Question: What brand coffee maker do we have?

It is very easy to use, looks very nice, and makes great coffee. No frills, just great coffee. We use this mainly for our RV, where every time we change a power source the time would blink and need to be reset if we had a clock type. Read all of the reviews as it has some quirks, but all coffee makers seem to. We highly recommend this unit with the Melita cone shaped paper filters. It can over-flow if you put too much water in it (more than 12 cups), and, if you take the carafe out while brewing, place it back within 20 seconds, and, hold the top of the unit down as you reseat the carafe or the filter can shift, lid can pop-up, and leak. Vary the strength by adding more or less coffee than recommended. Also, when you are done with it, unplug it or turn it off (it has no automatic shut-off). Be sure the plastic filter holder is seated all of the way down(easy) and do not use a BASKET STYLE gold-toned filter (not basket style paper, either), or a gold-toned 'cone' filter if the top does not close, it must close, so either use paper, or cut down the gold filter to fit. This unit is made for cone type filters, #4.Highly recommended!! Just use common sense. Get one with a timer if you have steady electricity. This unit is no more loud than most coffee makers that boil water fast; steam creates some noise in the end as the water boils out of all units. It brews fast. Get a slower one if you want less, or longer, steam noises, or a perculator, or make it the old way. This unit works great! I think Hamilton Beach makes a great product, and most reviewers agree. Look who takes the number one position!

Question: what is happening to the waffles made with the product?

This is, hands down, the most frustrating product I've ever owned in my life. When it first arrived, I was a little put off by the looseness of the hinge in the back because it wobbles every time you move the lid. I actually almost returned it, but after seeing another reviewer said the same thing, I figured they were probably all like that. The first couple uses, were fine. I haven't used it much at all in the last month and a half that I've owned it. But, after the initial couple uses, every single waffle I've made has stuck. To the point where all my waffles split in half and I have to dig them out. And yes, I do put oil in my waffle batter. The description says it is NON STICK, I shouldn't have to put cooking oil. I am furious with this product, which is now ruined and I have to throw it away now because it is beyond the point of being cleaned and uses. Essentially, I there $40 down the drain and my kids, who love waffles, are going to be devastated.

Question: Where does the reviewer say it leaks from?

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. However, after about 1.5 years of use, it now leaks out of the sides even when filled to half its capacity. It doesn't leak a substantial amount, but it makes a mess and is a pain to clean because it gets between the plastic and the machine. Still - overall a great product, but has not stood the test of time.

Question: What size is the cord?

So far, this is my favorite of every iron I've ever had, and I've been ironing for more than half-a-century. If there's anything to not like about it, I haven't found it yet. I love the longer cord, which is perfect - long enough to make a real difference but not so long it gets in the way. Even though I set up my ironing board against a wall with an outlet, I've always felt like I was straining the cord when using other irons.Other pluses for this iron include how easy it is to fill the water reservoir spill-free, it heats up very quickly and produces lots of steam when I want steam and the heft is just right, not too heavy. I also like the design, which looks and feels well-balanced, and Ultraglide is a fitting name to describe its ease of use with the "slick" soleplate. But I love that cord, my favorite feature.I'm expecting to get a lot of use out of this iron.

Answer: longer

If there's anything to not like about it, I haven't found it yet. <hl> I love the longer cord, which is perfect - long enough to make a real difference but not so long it gets in the way. <hl> Even though I set up my ironing board against a wall with an outlet, I've always felt like I was straining the cord when using other irons. Other pluses for this iron include how easy it is to fill the water reservoir spill-free, it heats up very quickly and produces lots of steam when I want steam and the heft is just right, not too heavy. I also like the design, which looks and feels well-balanced, and Ultraglide is a fitting name to describe its ease of use with the "slick" soleplate. But I love that cord, my favorite feature. I'm expecting to get a lot of use out of this iron.

Question: How much counter space does these people have in their living space?

we live in an apartment with limited counter space and we've recently started eating healthier. We've been including a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in our diet. This basket works perfectly to keep our fruit organized and keep a lot of the counter space clean. The spacing of the basket is small enough that it doesn't bruise our fruits and the banana hanger is perfect. The heftiness of the basket will support a good sized bunch even if there aren't loads of fruit in the basket. We tend to keep our tomatoes out on the counter so they always go on top since the fridge ruins the flavor. The item came in no time flat and it's been a wonderful addition to our tiny kitchen

Question: what did they worry would wear out?

Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. I worry that my simple old two-knife shredder will wear out so I purchased this item as a backup. Firstly, the "current" model Weston Shredder does not have the plastic or laminate base shown. It has a thin, non-laminated, non-plastic wood base that will warp with usage. The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable. The blades are held in place with hand-hewed chips of wood wedged and glued into place. I think there is more chance of this slicer self destructing that there is of my old model wearing out.

Question: What does the author hate to do?

I hate to clean and am a procrastinator so it took several months after receiving this steamer to finally use it. Now I wonder why the hell I took so long to use it. It is incredibly easy to use. Just fill the container with water, turn it on and glide it across the floor. It is very light weight and easy to maneuver. The first time I used it though I accidentally kept it in one spot for a little too long - now there's a white cast on the floor about 6 inches long. :(After cleaning, I rubbed a paper towel on the floor to see if it would come away clean... sadly, it was still slightly brown but the floors felt a lot cleaner. I tried it again after the second use and the floors seem cleaner than the 1st time.This is my first steamer so I can't compare it to others but I would definitely recommend it.

Question: What nationality produces this machine?

I learned how to make pasta by hand a couple of years ago - and that included using a hand crank pasta machine bolted to my kitchen counter.Now that I've got this, I'm not going back!I decided that I had to really enjoy making pasta before investing in these attachments, but now that I have, it is SO much easier. Yes, most of the work of making pasta is in making the dough - and while these rollers obviously won't help with that - when it comes to rolling the dough out and cutting it, these make it much easier than with a crank machine. First off, you don't have to crank it. Yeah, it sounds obvious, but I was worried about the "uncontrolled" speed getting the best of me. Not to worry, if you can use a hand crank, you can use this - and you don't have to worry about it twisting on the counter! Second, it is pretty much at the perfect height - with plenty of room above the counter to maneuver. And finally, while I was worried about these being cheap and/or poorly made, they are (at least the ones I got!) solid and Italian-made.Frankly, I can't believe I waited as long as I did.........

Question: How long does it take to make 2 shot worth of coffee for my AeroPress?

Pros: 1. This thing does a very good job of producing an even fine grind.2. Its cheap and portable. Great for camping.Cons: 1. It does take about 4 minutes to make 2 shots worth of coffee for my AeroPress.2. If you use it at the office, people will think you're a dork and the noise will annoy them.3. Further evidence that you're a cheap SOB. Don't break this thing out on a first date.This does what it does perfectly, but for making several cups of coffee at a time, consider a good electric burr grinder. You can get one that works fine for about $80. I did, and this thing went in my kitchen camping box.

Question: Why did the reviewer initially choose this can opener?

When our can opener broke, I hopped on Amazon to look for a new one. I couldn't believe the number of 5-star reviews for this one! I have never seen another product on Amazon that has such a high percentage of 5-star reviews plus a respectable number of reviews. Even though it cost a little more than other can openers, I figured I HAD to try this magical device. Well, I'm here to add to those 5-star reviews. This thing cuts through cans like butter. I could probably turn it if I breathed on it hard enough. Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea. It's smooth and easy to use, and with the all-metal construction, I do not see this thing breaking anytime soon. I'm converted.

Question: What type of pick ups is this sweeper fantastic for?

The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning. I gave my second one away to my son but now I am sorry I did because it would really be handy to keep one on each floor. It stores neatly and is great for picking up crumbs under tables etc. My house stays a lot cleaner and I only have to drag the vaccum cleaner out once a week - good for me! Good for my back.

Question: What size is their mattress?

Bought this for our Olympic Queen mattress (which is a funny size to find bedskirts for) - and it works GREAT! I had a king size for years, but had to fold & pin it in the middle so it wouldn't fall to the floor - and still had to fix it all the time. This one works GREAT - it's off the floor but still keeps the stuff under the bed hidden. The color is really nice too - a nice navy blue. Maybe a tiny bit lighter than the color here (it looks almost black here, but in person is a true navy blue).

Question: What does she find bad about other irons?

I have purchased three different brands of steam iron over the last two years. Namely Black and Decker, Panasonic, and whatever brand makes the Shark. The most irritating thing about steam irons is that they shed water through the steam holes, leaving large spots of water which then have to be dried out by the iron. This is the first unit that I have had that does not do that. So I give it accolades for that. I will now give away my other irons to my daughters. The only weakness in this iron is the temperature setting control, which has no indicators on it as to heat level so you kind of have to experiment with it and not turn it too hot. Other irons indicate silk, polyester, cotton etc. But this one does not. But I will still take it over other major brands. So if you want a steam iron that does not drip or leak through the holes when you are ironing this is the one to have.

Question: How do you clean the knife?

We are extremely picky with our kitchen utensils. Years prior, we received a set of knives we had selected in our wedding registry. At the time, we were naive. Thankfully we later learned not all knives are created equal. I can't say I've ever used a $50 or pricier knife, but I don't know why I would when this one seems to be perfect. It's super-sharp (just ask my fingers ...). It's comfortable to use. Me not being a fan of hand-washing, I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. Highly recommend for those looking for a great knife at a manageable price.

Question: Where are wheels under the can?

I bought this can because of the shape and it is a step can. I did not want one of those touch-less kind that seem to quit working quickly and use batteries. I have this same brand in stainless for another location, for the few years. It still looks and works like new. I needed a can that would fit into a narrow space, and it did not have to match my kitchen. This does that, as well as being made well. The very top of the bag does show on the outside when it is closed, but I don't have any problem with that. This does give a benefit. It makes the bag replacement fast and easy. Because the can has a lip at the top that holds the bag securely without having to use any special retaining devises. Or like my other can; having to remove the inside can and specially secure the bag though a hole. This one just uses that top lip to hold the bag and it is easy and fast. I like it's rear wheels, which make it easy to pull in and out of my little place it have for it to sit. The maker has designed this one to do the job without having to deal with a lot of other stuff.

Question: How long as this pillow lasted?

Finally - the right pillow for me! This pillow has lasted well over two years and is still in great shape. I just ordered another to support my hip. I have fibromyalgia, neck problems, sciatica, and hot flashes. I've tried so many pillows. Miracle foam pillows are too firm for my neck. Shaped pillows don't accommodate my stomach sleeping position. Regular pillows are too soft or flatten out quickly. Water pillows are comfortable but too heavy when making the bed. This pillow seems to be the perfect thickness, is supportive, and doesn't put my arm to sleep when I slip it under the pillow. One drawback is it is a little heavier than most pillows, although not as heavy as a water pillow. Also, when I have a hot flash, my face burns up and eventually warms up the pillow. However, if I turn the pillow, I again have a nice cool surface (not cold).

Question: How does the product compare to the picture?

This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. It's a solid, well-constructed set that seems like it will hold up for a long time.*update* Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack. This is a floor that things usually shatter in million pieces on too (we've had that happen with glasses and a pitcher). That shows how solid these are.*2nd update* I was just carrying items out of the room and the pepper shaker slipped and flew out of my hand and landed under a chair (no carpet, hard floor) and I said to myself that's going to be a mess...went to look and it was all in one piece, not even a crack! I just bumped these up to a 5 star, they've earned it.

That shows how solid these are.*2nd update* I was just carrying items out of the room and the pepper shaker slipped and flew out of my hand and landed under a chair (no carpet, hard floor) and I said to myself that's going to be a mess...went to look and it was all in one piece, not even a crack! I just bumped these up to a 5 star, they've earned it.
