Question: What size is the timer?

I teach Kindergarten, and I needed a visual timer that the students could use to pace themselves through their work (and to know when a break is coming). This timer is perfect because of its large size! I love that this timer can countdown from a specific number of minutes/seconds and also it can time how long something takes. It is magnetic, but it also comes with a stand that you can prop up to set it on a table. I love this timer so much that now I've bought four of them and I have them in different places all over my classroom. Other teachers at school have also seen them in my room and bought them! Great product.

Question: What product did this free "toy" replace?

I've had a $600+ set of Wusthof Classic knives for five years and had been using the sharpening steel that came with the set. I had not noticed any reduction in sharpness and would never have considered getting this sharpener if it had not come as a free bonus offer along with a set of Wusthof cheese knives I bought recently. Even then; I had not planned to use it, but decided to give it a try since it was made by Wusthof and there was no warning on it. To my surprise the paring knife that I tried first came out considerably sharper after a few easy passes through the "fine" side. I tried it on the other knives with similar results and will never go back to the sharpening steel. The cheap toy turned out to be a valuable tool!

Question: What does the fabric feel like?

I'm so glad i ignored the negative reviews. It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. Not that it is actually egyptian cotton. Maybe that is where the negative reviews are coming from, people expecting actual egyptian cotton. I knew what to expect and it exceeded my expectations. The fabric is extremely soft and smooth. We have a pillow top mattress so our fitted sheets are always popping off. The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. I will be ordering another set in a different color and would definitly recommend these sheets. I still can't believe how inexpensive they were for such a nice set of sheets.

Question: How many people are in the author's family?

These containers are a great deal. Love the whole set. Some people have complained that some of the containers are too small to be useful, but I LOVE all the different sizes. There are enough larger ones for my family of 5 and I use the tiny ones all the time for storing things like cinnamon-sugar, peanut butter for lunches, leftover toppings for meals like Hawaiian haystacks, etc etc. I find them all very useful and very convenient.

Question: The customer stated that they were so sharp that they scared who?

I love these knives and have not one complaint. They are sharp, but not dangerously sharp like some knives I have used. They did scare my daughter when she came over to use them as she has dull knives at her house and was expecting how sharp these were. I haven't had one rust issue. I believe you just need to wash and dry them after each use. My husband has stuck his steak knife a couple of times in the dishwasher without me noticing and even then no rust. Love these; you just have to know how to take care of a good set of knives. I really didn't understand this until reading through all the reviews on this set.

Question: How is the build quality of the pans?

I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans. The pans are quite thick and sturdy and the non-stick coating is quite good. I have used a number of pans that have come from different manufacturers, and many times, the non-stick coating doesn't work as well as it should or starts peeling. The non-stick coating on these pans is quite excellent and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend these pans for all those mini jobs even if you don't use them in your countertop oven.

Question: What type of water filter are these?

These charcoal water filters are identical to the expensive ones I used to purchase from Cusinart. Not to mention, there were only a few retailers that even carried them. Now they will be replaced once a month like they would be. I was happy to find these in a large quantity at a great price.

Question: how long did the old coffee maker last?

I have used Braun products for years. I made the mistake by buying a different brand of coffee maker when my old Braun needed replacing. I bought it on special sale through Amazon (where else). I had it one month and was back online to go back to the Braun.

Question: what kind of oil should be used on bamboo cutting boards?

I ordered the second bamboo cutting board after having used a locally purchased one for a while. I find this cutting board just as good as the first one I purchased locally and it has the additional feature of non-slip rubber feet on one side. The addition of the non-slip feet is a plus. You do have to oil bamboo cutting boards every so often to keep them from drying out (Bamboo Oil, or butcher block oil is fine). They seem to have less problems with food stains sticking to their surface that some other cutting board materials and seem to be easier to clean. I would recommend this product. The product was delivered promptly and in good condition.

Question: What kind of construction does the can opener have?

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: How long did it take for the carpet to dry with the new one?

Let's say carpet cleaning is NO my big thrill in life. I purchases a similar Eureka model. It was a bit more than the Eureka, but well worth every penny. I has a separate load for the soap, you fill with your own warm water in a nice large tank so you don't have to stop every 5 minutes and load. This permits you not only to clean the carpet, but rinse it so you don't have soap residue. It has a large easy to remove collection tank, easy to dump. It picked up three times the moisture from the carpet than the Eureka. When I cleaned with Eureka it took days for the carpet to be dry. With the Hoover the next day it was completely dry.It was easy to push. I could clean a room in a matter of a few minutes. It promises deep cleans and it delivers. So forget about renting those back-breaking cleans that are cumbersome to use. Forget wasting money on ones that don't clean good or remove water from the carpet. Spend a little more and get the RIGHT STUFF!

Question: Are attachments available?

I love my Dyson. It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. You can see when the canister gets full. The only thing I don't really like is the way the tool attachments work. There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments (there are all the standard extras). It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.

Question: Is the comforter the same as in the picture?

When I first received this, I was very disappointed. It looked like water stains all over the spread. It did not look like a design.I could not figure out if this was suppose to look like this or not. So I contacted customer service and they didn't know either.They were gracious enough to reissue a new one and I sent the other back. I can now say that the new one is no better.It isn't a bad comforter for the price but know that when on the bed, it gives a faded, very used look. This is the style I now assume. It is made to look that way. So if you like the worn out in spots, faded look, this is the quilt for you, like a nice pair of worn out jeans. I think the first one was worse and I'm keeping this one. My living room is dark and it will work. But don't expect it to be a uniformed color like it shows in the picture. The backside is, but the front isn't.

Question: Was the price fair?

After spending what seemed like a ridiculous amount of time and being doused with red juice while pitting cherries to make a cherry sauce (for pork tenderloin..yummy combo, if you've never tried it), I was seeking the perfect cherry pitting device. Thank goodness for Amazon and it's reviewers, because I probably would never have purchased something that seems so 'gimmicky' by appearance. But I took the positive reviewers at their words and wasn't at all disappointed...this works great! I had the larger cherries and placed them face-down with the stems removed (but works either way), and not a single pit was left in the cherries. I would have been happy with a 90% success rate but ended up with 100% and a speedy processing time...and no mess to speak of. If it doesn't work well for you, maybe you're not using it properly? Because I found it to be perfect. I'd pay even more for it now that I've seen how well it works.

Question: What can this machine do?

Durable ,fast, easy to clean. Pulse is the best option- when on ON - so fast ,perhaps too fast. I like security fixture .Big enough to cooking for a big family and work for family of 2 as well. Fitting well is narrow- so its required little more chopping 'for example its fit 2 big carrots ,but medium to big potato have to be split ,and if you don't mind to cut cabbage on smaller chunks - cole slow became a breeze, Does very well for puree, shredding - very good even slicing ,but potatoes wouldn't be round ,unless using small ones. Would recommend to buy, as for that price -its a kitchen delight.

Question: How much does the new coffe maker cost than the old one?

I have always had an economical coffee maker like the Black and Decker DCM2500 but lately I have had to buy one after another, trying different brands each time. This one makes good coffee, just right temp, love the auto shut-off feature and is easy to fill. My problem is with the burner plate. It has been burning through and now rusting since we got it. The carafe has rust spots (I have a hard time removing)in the 2 places it sits over. The maker still works but I am worried it will catch fire or bust the glass carafe if not replaced. So I give it a 3 star rating. Not the worst I have ever had but not worth the money if I have to continually replace them. I am going with a new coffee maker that costs 3 times as much but maybe it will last at least 3 times longer.

Question: What did they provide?

*Disclosure: I was contacted by a rep for Living Concept and provided a free sample for the purposes of giving my thoughts on it.*Hanging 10 in the closet. Who knew? Anyhow, this wood and metal hanger for the closet is indeed multi-purpose. Scarves, ties, hosiery, panties, bras, belts, socks, hats, and so on. The wood is solid and tough, the metal loops rigid and strong. If you can work out how to hang something from it, there ya go. It comes at a cheap investment price, likely less expensive than you would pay for the raw materials to make something similar. In my closet, it's doing at find job at hold all the belts I've picked up over the years.

Anyhow, this wood and metal hanger for the closet is indeed multi-purpose. Scarves, ties, hosiery, panties, bras, belts, socks, hats, and so on. The wood is solid and tough, the metal loops rigid and strong. If you can work out how to hang something from it, there ya go. It comes at a cheap investment price, likely less expensive than you would pay for the raw materials to make something similar. In my closet, it's doing at find job at hold all the belts I've picked up over the years.

Question: What is the product being reviewed?

Didn't think that this would be a very good vacuum but needed an upright for the small amount of carpeting I have in my new home...I bought it and vacuumed.....WOW!!! I couldn't believe how much crud it sucked up off my floors! I tell everyone about this little inexpensive vacuum and they have bought it with the same results. This is a 5 star winner for sure!

Question: What type of gaskets are replaced

These silicone gaskets will replace the rubber one which came with this espresso make. Within the first few uses, I can already sense the silicone gaskets perform better than the original gasket. It doesn't deform as the original or discolor. I used to spend time cleaning coffee fragments which become embedded in the original gasket. The heat range of the silicon gasket is clearly better and since it does not deform, it is easier to clean. Even if your original gasket is still viable, I would recommend replacing it just to reduce the effort of cleaning.

Question: How many times has the reviewer used the product in the last few weeks?

I used to have one similar to this one, which always tended to leak, and was made by a different manufacturer. This one seems to have a better sealing mechanism and is really sturdy. It says in the directions to hand wash only, which is not a deal breaker, but it loses a star for that as it would be really nice to put in the dishwasher. The only other reason it lost the one star is you have to be careful rejoining the two pieces as to not ruin the seal. We will see how things hold up with use and normal wear and tear. I have used it several times in the last few weeks and it has held up really well. Perfect for measuring things like corn syrup, honey, cream cheese, etc. I got the two cupper. Not sure I would get the 1 cup as it would probably be redundant.

Question: What's wrong with the thermometer?

Positives: Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent. Basically, it performs its core task well. What kept it from a 5-star rating? A couple of things, which I will point out simply because this is a $30 scale and others might like to know:1. We intended for this to be a countertop scale (not wall-mounted). However, we soon discovered a design flaw: When folded up, the bottom of the scale no longer sits flat due to the protrustion of the hinge. This could have been easily overcome had the designers envisioned that people might NOT actually want to mount it on the wall. This sort of defeats the "space saver" element of the name.2. Thermometer is 2-4 degrees off. Again, not a big deal, but since there is a thermometer on it, I figured this deserved mention.

Answer: 2-4 degrees off

Question: What kind of product is this?

I have regularly used a French press to prepare coffee for many years, and this pot is the best of the lot. It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. Those who have not previously used a French press well may find that the fresh taste of the coffee leaves them wondering how they ever used a 'drip' or percolator pot. it operates easily, with none of the awkwardness I have found with other inexpensive presses.

Question: What is the small stem of the product made with?

I like the Zero water concept. It delivers on its promise of clean water. However, in my area of the country, I go through filters quickly. The filters are expensive, but you have to balance that with the cost of bottled water.My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. The one I bought had a design flaw in the button that allows the water to dispense. It has a small stem that is made of plastic and will eventually break. There is no way to repair it.The company promised to replace the dispenser...then I waited, and waited...the customer service people kept stalling. Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser, but they sent me coupons for more filters! Incredible!A company that has such disregard for its customers does not deserve my business. I will never buy another one of their products.

Question: how many pets did she have?

I rarely gush about an item-but this little machine is fantastic! I kept looking at them for about a year until I saw the remanufactured version on Amazon at a more reasonable price than I had seen elsewhere. First I was pleasantly surprised that they shipped me the "Pet" version of the Spot Bot. Is there a difference between the regular one and this one? I imagine just the color and the cool paw print sticker, but I dig it since they are the main reason for my purchase. I have 3 dogs and a cat. We live on a farm, so lets just say them hurling is an occurence that happens more often than not, and of course usually in the middle of the night when you least want to clean them up. My first test was a couple of stains set in the rugs when we bought the house-used the set in stain setting-and they were gone. Yes, it did leave the clean "crop circle" where the stain was, but I knew I needed to shampoo them anyway. Several nights later-you guessed it-at 4am Riley got ill. I cleaned up the "bulk" of I and just went back to bed trusting my new favorite helper would be successful in the morning. It was. The machine is loud, and the dogs hate the beep at the end of the cycle-but you won't regret the purchase!Does go through cleaner, but I don't care and you won't either...

Question: What can't the reviewer get into into the brewer to clean it?

Not much I really like about it other than it's a 12 cup thermal brewer. Things I don't like. When you take the pot out after brewing the basket drips some. The pot has a very small opening. You can't get your hand inside to wash it. Not even my wife's very tiny hand. You have to have man like hands to open the pot. The top outside diameter is huge. The water level is on the back side. You can't see it from the front. The water tank isn't removable making it more difficult to fill. I have not experienced the thing peeing coffee all over the counter top as many have mentioned. It is no where close to being the complete thermal brewer my beloved Starbucks Baristta, RIP, was. I'll probably end up giving it to my daughter-in-law.Not sure what I would buy.Update: It's toast. My wife and I hate this thing. Hope the daughter-in-law likes it. I'm looking at a Mr. Coffee Optimal Brew 10 cup thermal. It has a wider mouth, removable tank and side loading filter basket. Would like a 12 cup but they are virtually non-existent. That Dyson guy needs to look into making a real good coffee maker.Update #2. Bought the Mr. Coffee machine and couldn't be more satisfied. No mess, water tank is a breeze to fill, comes with gold filter (although we use disposable brown filters), shorter than the nightmare above and less $. The only raps on the Mr. Coffee is that is only 10 cups, would prefer 12 and has a disposable water filter. WE have RO water so tossed that a week ago. OK if you don't have any filtration system. They good for a month, not sure what they cost. Bottomline, Mr. Coffee you're the best I could find.

Question: How long has the reviewer have this toaster for?

I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice. Some were considerably more expensive than this one. This one seems pretty even, but it did toast one side of the bread side darker than the other. The side closer to the center was darker--however, it was within my standards for eating on both sides (but barely on the darker side). I will be keeping it as I am tired of the search for a good toaster, and at least this one is even.One feature toasters seem to never have now is the option for one slice. Older toasters could sense if you had only one slice in and would heat only the coils on that side (it was always a specific side--it would only sense this happening if it was in the correct slot). I suspect that is what this one needs, and the fact that it is heating coils on both sides even though I have only one slice of bread in is why it is darker on the bread side closer to the center of the toaster.I cannot comment on the longevity as I have only had it a few days.

Question: What are the writer's hobbies?

I love my new pan. I live alone, but like to bake for gifts and monthly card parties. This is perfect, as I can have five for the guests and hoard one in the freezer, without wasting the left overs (or eating it myself)! Nice solid construction, and although the design looks really tiny in the picture, it is not so narrow in reality. A true mini traditional Bundt pan, which is what I was aiming for. Maybe I will get more daring with designs, later, but was concerned about definition of design on a smaller scale. Very pleased. Would highly recommend Nordic Ware for its quality.

Question: What kind of reviews put the buyer off?

After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. The oven is solid, great looking and cooks very well in all modes, particularly SuperSteam, which we use most of the time, for just about everything except bread, which browns better with convection.Last week, we even purchased a second SuperSteam for our vacation house.

Question: How much did this person have to pay to send this item back?

I liked it when it worked. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Opening a warranty claim was easy, but it stopped right there. I sent 2 emails, I called twice and I'm still waiting. I have no idea when am I gonna get the replacement etc,etcIt is sad that when they take your money, the transaction is easy and smooth, but when it comes to assume responsibility, they are soo slooow.Update: 08/02/13I received my replacement on 07/22/13 and the replacement stopped working 6 days later! I requested a refund and I have not heard any reply yet. I've had enough. It is a hassle.You have to report, wait,repack the item,drive to Fed Ex to return it, wait for a replacement, etc. (twice)I will update of how good or bad are they in refunding your money.08/22/13Not a word about my refund yet. The last time I checked BBB, Kalorik had an F on their website.09/10/13After countless emails, I was told by Kalorik that they will refund me the money, but the shipping for the defective unit, is my responsability . I paid about $11 today to return the item. Let see what happens next.11/17/13I finally received my refund after SOOO many phone calls and emails.

Question: What qualities of the grinder were the main reason for the purchase?

I read many of the reviews here on Amazon for this (and other) grinders before making a purchase. Since I have owned several types (Braun has been the overall best) over the past 30 years, I knew what I was looking for. This one seemed to fit the bill: Less expensive, larger grinding volume, quieter, longer lasting, etc.Well, I was disappointed with it. It took what seemed forever to grind the beans to the fine consistency necessary for our machine. Then, after grinding about two cups of beans (we keep a few days worth of the ground beans in an airtight container), it completely stopped working. I am not sure if it was defective or just not capable of grinding properly. I am thinking it was the latter.I sent it back and am not taking a chance on another one of these. I'm looking to purchase a better quality unit.

Question: Is there a design flaw?

If you are going to only use this in a cup holder, it is great! It insulates well and keeps my water cold and refreshing.The big design flaw is the top-heavy design. I have knocked this thing over many many times and sometimes 3 or 4 times in one sitting. Last night, the wind blew it off of the bleachers while watching a ball game.Also, the lid is a bit warpy and will not seal perfectly.If you decide to wash in the dishwasher, it will get water inside of the double wall and leak all over the place for about 15 minutes.I wish I could give more stars because I love the capacity and insulating, but the top heaviness makes it almost unbearable.UPDATE:I got another one of these, because I lost the first one. The lid does not leak on the second. It is still a top heavy mug, but you learn to adjust.If you don't need the cup holder, then get the keg shaped version in the same 34 oz size. I use one for around the house to keep my water refreshing without sweating on the furniture.

Question: How many sides of the sheets are raised?

Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). The different styled sides makes this sheet perfect.Two sides of this pan are raised which makes it so easy to pick-up while the other sides are flat making it easy to remove baked food. My 'testing' of this pan is over and I'm planning on purchasing another.

Question: Are they as breakable as most porcelain?

As a child, I regularly had soft boiled eggs in egg holders similar, though not identical to these. I probably went over 40 years without having a soft boiled egg. Recently I warched the movie "Iron Lady" where Meryll Streep portrays Margaret Thatcher. In the opening scene of that film Thatcher serves soft boiled eggs in holders similar to these and it planted the seed in me to start eating soft boiled eggs again.Yes, these are porcelain, but knowing that, they're not unusually fragile - they're as fragile, indeed I believe LESS so, than a reasonable person would expect from porcelain. I think less so because they're actually pretty heavy. I don't envision the spoons breaking unless they're dropped. If used solely to crack eggs they're just fine.It's a nice set and One I think represents good value when compared to others available at this Website at the time of this writing. My set came with five spoons. I don't know if that was an error on the part of the ackaging company or if they've decided to add an extra just in case.

Question: What kind of brush assembly does the vacuum have?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: How many times has the item been used?

Recently received this item and have already used it a few times. We washed it thoroughly when we received it, and then seasoned it ourselves with bacon (not sure it really "needed" more seasoning, but I'm old school that way. My grandmother told me to always season items yourself "to be sure"). We've had no issues with any type of sticking. This is our first time with a DO and have found there is a little bit of a learning curve to make sure you don't overcook items. However, we are very happy with this item and are looking forward to many more yummy meals with it.

Question: What vacuum brand name has been reliable for years?

I have several problems with my arms. It is extremely difficult for me to usean traditional upright vacuum/or a canister type style; where you have to pushand pull with your arms. I invested in an iRobot vacuum; which at first wasjust the ticket. Then it started having issues, EVERY single time I'd use it.And it was rather a pain to go through all the "steps", to try & find the problem.And it keeps beeping at you; and driving you NUTS !!So, for the price; I decided to try this VERY lightweight little upright.For me....it's the BEST EVER. My arm can handle the little bit of weight,and it had better suction than I ever thought it would. Now, I have only tile,and low pile carpet. So, for me this works excellent. I'm not sure itwould work as well on high pile carpet. I LOVE IT....and will buy another onewhen the time comes. Eureka has been a trusted name in vacuums for years !!

Question: What was the first experiment?

This is just what I was looking for. I received one of these in return for a review and it is just right. I have been looking for one of these for a while, but couldn't make up my mind.There isn't a lot to this set. Only what you need. You get the base that holds the molds upright, 6 molds that don't skimp on space, and 6 lid/handle/drip catchers. If you are looking onto getting an ice pop mold, then I highly suggest you get one that has the removable molds such as this one. I have seen other molds that simply hold 6-8 pops, sort of like an ice cube tray, but then you have to unmold all of them at once.My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that there is no recipe booklet. It would have been nice to have some instant inspiration when I opened the box. So I just searched the web and found tons of recipes.My first experiment was with watermelon, rum, Splenda, and lime juice. I mixed it all and poured it into the molds that were standing in the base. I capped them with the lid/handles and popped it in the freezer. After waiting as long as humanly possible, I popped one off of the base. I ran some warm tap water over the mold for about 5-10 seconds and the ice pop slid right out. It turned out amazing! These are just the right size for needing to have only one. The drip catcher is a nice addition. I was able to get all the way through my pop and never did get any on my hands.After devouring the entire tray ( I had help...), I put the entire set in the dishwasher top rack and they came out just like new. Ready for the next recipe, sugar free mocha pudding pops...If you want a nice set that is easy on the wallet, this will work just fine. No bells and whistles, just the basics. And the mocha pops turned out to be an awesome diet-friendly treat!

Question: What rice dries out if left on the warm setting?

I've only tried the brown rice setting and the steamer setting on this rice cooker and it worked fine. I cook 1 cup of brown rice in this rice cooker and filled it up to the 1.5 mark on the pot. I would not recommend leaving brown rice on the 'Warm' setting too long. It dries out the rice on the bottom. Note: It takes a little more than an hour to cook brown rice in this thing. The previous rice cooker I used to use which was a Panasonic fuzzy logic rice cooker, it took 2 hours to cook brown rice. The Aroma rice cooker has also a up to 10-hr timer setting. Good to have when you want your rice to be done by the time you get home.
