Question: How often does the author use his new knife?

When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it.Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat.I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. And if I ever get around to cooking myself one of those big steamship rounds, well, I'm all ready for the slicing ! This knife is great for hams and turkey breasts as well.My only complaint (and it isn't much of a complaint) was that it could have been just a little sharper when I got it, but since regular sharpening and steeling are just part of the routine of using a knife like this, it wasn't a big deal. Just know that you may not be getting the optimum performance out of this knife if you haven't sharpened it since it arrived.If you serve much meat, I wholeheartedly recommend you consider this knife. Nothing beats it for the ability to produce beautiful slices with a minimum of effort and skill.

Question: Are there any disadvantges with this pot?

I love going to Shabu Shabu but it can get rather expensive. So I thought, why not bring the shabu to my dinner table? I did so with this pot. It feeds enough for at least 4 people and worked wonderfully. It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes. A bit pricey, but well worth it for the amount of money I will save cooking shabu at home.The ONLY drawback is that it omitts a funny smell while cooking. I rinsed the pot out before hand, but it still had this weird odor that smelled up the kitchen. I've only used it once, so hopefully this is a one time deal. Otherwise, its a good purchase.--------------------UPDATE: 1/10/2013I've used the cooker a handful of times in the past few years and still am satisfied with it. The smell isn't as strong as it originally was, however, there still is a plasticy odor when I heat the cooker up. Besides the smell, it fuctions like it was brand new and looks great.

Question: Why did the reviewer purchase the product?

I had gotten this because I wanted to have water for tea and hot chocolate available without using a microwave. I have it sitting next to my kitchen sink. when the kids want hot water they just flip it on and within a very short time the water is hot. I just refill so it is ready for the next time. I also use it for instant oatmeal and any other water based foods. I love it because it is quick and can add hot water while cooking in no time. No more microwave either. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to get rid of the toxns from using a microwave, or if you just want hot water available in a split second.

Question: In regards to the temperature of the wine, what didn't the customer find?

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

Question: How did the reviewer get the container?

I probably would not have purchased this handy little device for myself, but I appreciated receiving it as a gift. The color is nice and bright--pretty much matching the color of an avocado. It actually does work for keeping a leftover half avocado from going brown for a couple of days. The truth is, though, mytwo-cup plastic storage containers with lidswork just as well, so unless you like cute gadgets, I'm not sure it's worth the extra money if you already have such containers in your kitchen.

Question: What does the reviewer bring to work each day?

PROS:I pack my lunch everyday to office. I hate to walk to microwave to heat it up , so end up eating semi-cold lunch. Voila!, Crock-Pot solved the problem. Now I get a pleasant, flavorful and hot lunch. Wonder why no one knew about such a simple idea,but powerful concept.Hats off to Crock-pot if they are the first one. The size is good enough as well but this is not for cooking up frozen lunches. Just heating up prepared lunch.CONS> A traditional lunch box is not deep and wider. But this one is deep ..at the bottom is less convenient (esp noodles, Pasta)> There is no On/off switch which is a nuisance. In an office cubicle, usually plug points are set below your desks. The manufacturer claims it is fine to leave the unit plugged but why leave it on when you do not need to !> The food container that holds the lunch , when open and ready for eating is little above the warming base. The Food container is hot and u have to consciously hold the warming base and not the food container...You will get burnt.All of the Con's can be fixed easily . Probably Cost considerations led the manufacturer to cut corners!

Question: What did the author say about the whistle?

Good things: It is pretty, and I think stays cleaner than a stainless steel kettle, both inside and outside. The short list ends here.Bad things: You have to hold the spout open to pour, which is a pain. The handle is such that you must always protect your hand when pouring with a cloth, or you will get burned every time. It does not pour in a nice flow, it sloshes water all over the place. That is the worst part, that you can't poor without water spattering around. I make coffee pouring boiling water into a funnel. It is about impossible to do this in a proper fashion with this teapot. Often the Whistle does not work. The top is very tight, but still does not seal properly. On reaching the boiling point, water spatters out of the spout opening if you fill it up to anywhere near capacity. As the bottom surface is smaller than in a convention design, you can't heat water up as fast, the flame will go around the pot rather than all hit the bottom.I recently left it on the stove and forgot, and the whistle did not work. The water boiled away. I was overjoyed when I saw that the plastic spout cover was melted, so I could throw it away. I got a stainless steel tea pot at Walmart, and am happy with it.

Question: Which method of cooking works best for the user?

My complaint is they get so hot when in use on the stovetop, and the handles are so low, they are difficult to grasp with a pot holder, which is necessary to use to lift them. So I have confined mine to use in the microwave where they work perfectly. Maybe that is what they are for to begin with and I didn't read the description correctly, but they are not a good buy for the stove top, and that is what I needed. I have since ordered a metal universal lid for that use. But you use your microwave as much as I do mine, you will enjoy having a lid for any size you will ever need

Question: What material is the product made of?

We've had these for 2 months now, and we always use the dishwasher to clean it. We haven't had any problems so far.The advantages of this mug are:1) Solidly built stainless steel - no worries about BPA.2) Dishwasher safe3) Spill proof lid.4) Insulation5) Wide mouth so you can fit ice cubes in.6) Sized to fit a car cup holder.The disadvantages:1) It only seems to keep water (refrigerated, no ice) cold for 1-2 hours.Thermos Stainless-Steel 22-Ounce Leak-Proof Hydration Bottlekeeps the watercold much longer.2) It is only "spill proof", not "leak proof" unlike the ThermosMy wife and I greatly prefer the Thermos for hiking, sports, and any outdoor activity. It is indestructible. We use the Bodum for both hot and cold beveragesin the car, at home, and at work. That means the Bodum gets much more use.

Question: Why did the author email Hoover?

I read everything about this in the reviews before I made this purchase, When it arrived all the instructions were followed and we put it together. The next weekend, It was great..worked wonderful and I put all the attachments on for the steps. After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction. I got it back in but if this is going to keep happening I am going to return it. I did write an e mail to Hoover about it but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up.So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. I order on line because I cannot go pick up heavy items such as this nor take it to a shop to have it repaired..it shouldn't need any repairs for years in my opinion. I rely on products this large being Hassle free!

Question: Which settings are actually pretty noisy?

This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic: it's an efficiently designed rectangle, and though it's not snazzy on the outside, it's not offensive or obtrusive either.It sits in my home office, and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time.I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation.The unit, though not cheap, is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost-effective to operate over time. As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty, and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... yes, you read that right. All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre-filter every few months. This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. It's simple. It really is: set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you're safe.The unit doesn't take up a lot of room, though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings. The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. To give you an idea of what I'm trying to say, while you likely wouldn't have a hard time sleeping with setting 1, you might with setting 2, and you DEFINITELY would with setting 3. Of course, everyone's mileage varies and I'm using words to describe an audible volume, which is not the same as hearing it yourself. As I said earlier: it's in my office, not my bedroom, so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance.If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.)

As I said earlier: it's in my office, not my bedroom, so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance. If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.)

This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic: it's an efficiently designed rectangle, and though it's not snazzy on the outside, it's not offensive or obtrusive either.It sits in my home office, and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time.I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation.The unit, though not cheap, is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost-effective to operate over time. As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty, and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... yes, you read that right. All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre-filter every few months. This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. It's simple. It really is: set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you're safe.The unit doesn't take up a lot of room, though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings.

Question: What does this product have that allows it to detect perfume?

The product works really well, its very sensitive. It sense smell and particles. it has an area for smell and particles and it monitors the air and turns up and down as needed. I put on perfume by it and the smell sensor goes way up and it cranks up, the dogs run by it and the particle indicator goes up and it turns on. you can also set it on manual but its cool. the thingi really liked about it is the rest all have like $100 a year in filters you have to buy and this has washable filters even for the hepa.I think it has helped a lot, i have 5 dogs inside and it has significantly improved the smell of my house

Question: What convenient feature does this iron possess?

I've had this iron for well over a year and have found it to be a fine performer. Heats fast, lots of steam, not too heavy. The removable water chamber is not just a gimmick but helps in refilling the iron. One drawback is the very small capacity of the water tank. Looking a the design of the iron, there appears to be plenty of room to have made the tank larger.This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature.All-in-all, you won't go wrong with this iron unless you do A LOT or ironing...then you'll find yourself making lots of trips to the sink for a refill.

Question: What is the operating volume of this heater?

This little guy heats my bedroom every night. My room is about 250 sf and this guy heats it up in less than an hour from the daytime temp of about 50-60 degrees up to a steamy 75-80 like i like it. Then I just turn down the dial to maintain the temp i want. Really quiet, i never notice it at all when it is on the Hi or Low setting. If you set it on a specific temperature it does turn on and off successively to try to regulate a specific temp, so that could be annoying. I usually leave it on Low while I sleep. Great deal for the cost!

Question: What is the round tab for?

For now with the more limited use of this scrubber I'll reserve my 5 star KUDOS after a year from now. Otherwise it's a nicel little scrubber. I still haven't given up the stainless scruffy one we've used for over 14 years but I'm working on it. This one doesn't seem to hold the food gook like the wooly version does. And a shake or two lets out most of the water. I'd like a place to actually hang it up but so far haven't figured that one out. The round tab I assume is for scrubbing at a difficult spot or along the rounded curves of the bottom inside of the bap but so far haven't taken it up on that. I think if that is the prurpose it could stand to have a little bit bitter one or even a triangle with rounded corners in different sizes to fit different sizes of corners. But it does ok with stainless pans too. So far no damage to them or the cast iron pans.

Question: What did the author raise up for this cleaning project?

When I decided to do a through cleaning at home (moving all the furniture, lifting the bed), I knew I needed something other than my standup vac (which is very powerful but lacks vac tools). I had very bad experiences with those horrid cordless Dirt Devils, which lacked power and waste space. This little corded vac is great! It's got excellent suction, is very easy to clean, and has just the right tools to get those nooks and crannies than the standup vac wouldn't reach. I highly recommend this vac for someone who needs a small, corded vac that's powerful and an easy clean.

Question: What part does a good job sucking up Cheerios?

We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them. Now we're again finding it indispensable for number two and three (now ages 1, 3, and 5)I like it for:1) Handle installs and removes quickly and easily.2) vacuum hangs easy on the charger - some other ones we've had are tricky to pop into the charger correctly if you want it to be installed vertically.3) Power roller bar - really sucks up those cheerios quickly, even on hard floors.4) Easily removable battery - charger has a second battery charging slot so you can swap out.When I bought this the cashier at Target told me that this was what they used to clean up spills in the store. It's now almost 3 years old and the battery is starting to show it's age (It's easily removable so I'll be buying a spare soon)UPDATE: The original battery is still going strong. To eliminate the "Memory" I just ran down the battery between charges rather than keeping it on the charger "topping off" all the time. Works great now, as good as new!UPDATE2 - after 5-1/2 years the original battery is finally dead. OEM replacement part cost me $19.99 including shipping, good as new!!!!TIP: When emptying I find it handy to use a full size vacuum cleaner to get the filter extra clean.If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

Question: What did I try and find unstable?

No two ways about it, I am clumsy! I've broken every wine glass in the house. I tried some "nicer" plastic wine glasses, but they were not stable. My brother-in-law visited and recommended these. I love them!! I even ordered a second pair! They remind me of a chalice. These are very sturdy, they're not tipping over nor breaking, and they look great, these are not cheapy at all! Treat yourself to some peace of mind and enjoy how the stainless steel keeps the drink at the perfect temperature!

Question: Which part of the cooker/steamer has been used and is being reviewed?

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

Question: What suggestion does the person give when transporting the tray to the freezer?

So, I bought this mold, to use as an ice cube tray. Also to mould some fondant for my son's lego birthday cake. So far I've only used it as an ice cube tray. The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. This is VERY flimsy, the water was falling as I transferred it to the freezer. I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos, and my son loves it as well. But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer

Question: How many stars did the reviewer give this mixer?

Purchased this mixer to replace a 10+ year old Kitchen Aid mixer. This mixer does a very nice job & overall I'm glad I purchased it. I gave it only 4 stars because of a potential safety issue - the second time I used this mixer I forgot to plug it in - I'd pushed the ON button & the speed button before I realized that it wasn't plugged in & when I plugged it in the mixer immediately began to run (spattering cake batter everywhere!). I'm thankful that there weren't any little grandchildren's fingers reaching in the bowel to steal a taste of the batter when the mixer automatically started up! It seems to me that it would be much safer if the mixer automatically reset itself to OFF when it's unplugged.

Question: How many stars did they give the stands?

I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level. I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base. As a result, the stand is unstable. Fortunately, the stand sits in a corner and I can place it up against the wall so there is no issue with it tipping over or anything. This is probably not a common problem and I suppose I received a defective item.The bottom line is I am happy with these speaker stands for the price and the quality despite the fact that one does not function properly. Comes with a couple different types of screws to use that can directly connect the speakers to the stand. Also comes with double sided tape to secure the speakers as well. 3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these because they look great and function well for the price.

Question: Why is the vacuum cleaner bad?

This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

Question: What is produced by an extraction from the baby cow's stomach?

Worked perfectly. It says use double put I did what the recipe said to do just in case. I do not know if the animal version works better or not but I bought this simply because it is cheaper. But this does work none of the less. Usually anyone saying it doesn't could mean a bunch of different things. Like if they waited the right amount of time, right heat and things like that. Not the rennet's fault I can assure you.For what's its worth the reason people purchase vegetable rennet vs. animal is because the process to get animal rennet isn't very "animal friendly". Basically they take it out of the baby cows stomach, only the baby's stomach acid has the enzymes that makes rennet. So in case you were wondering...

Basically they take it out of the baby cows stomach, only the baby's stomach acid has the enzymes that makes rennet. So in case you were wondering...


Question: Is the pressure strong enough?

The presto my pod makes, to me, a very weak and watery cup of coffee. It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, I like strong coffee. I tried using a few different types of coffee in the presto my pod, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm not convinced that the pressure is strong enough to brew a decent cup.don't buy this... heck I'll sell you mine for a dollar :-) I'll never use the dang thing again.I followed up by buying the brown eco pod, and THAT worked decently and made a nice cup of coffee by my standards.

Question: after using the product, how much oil did the reviewer need to use?

Now this is what I'm talking about! After trying several stir-fry pans that ranged from passable to dismal, the Circulon left them all in the dust. It's solidly constructed and hefty without being heavy, and the high sides make grease spatters almost non-existent. In fact, I found I needed to use less oil than usual as the heat didn't disperse but stayed in the pan. It distributes heat around the cooking surface extremely well with no hot spots and everything cooked perfectly. Cleanup was a cinch. Pour in some hot water and liquid detergent, swipe thoroughly with a sponge, and every bit of food comes right off. The pan emerged absolutely pristine. The size makes it great for cooking for anywhere from one to six people. This pan is definitely a winner and worth every single dime.Judy Lind

Question: Where did the reviewer use the product?

I bought two of these for my dish drawers, they're perfect for keeping everyone in the house on the same page. Despite it being cardstock (basically thick paper/thin cardboard) they do not look like cardboard at all; I was concerned that the edges of the sign would be a different color and give the sign a cheap look, but I'm quite pleased with them in person as they actually look like plastic signs. They are also quite well constructed, the slider between clean and dirty works very smoothly and I fully expect them to last a good while.Really my only complaint isn't so much a complaint but more a request; these would be perfect if they came in a stainless steel pattern, or even a bit darker shade of silver so they blended into stainless steel more.

Question: what will the product not clean?

I got my Mint about a month ago and am glad to have it. I use it to damp mop bare floors after the roomba has vacuumed. It works with ordinary terry wash cloths (which I use for all my cleaning) and picks up a lot of dirt.As another reviewer mentioned, it will not get into the cracks and cervices of a tile floor so you still have to get the grout clean yourself. It is excellent on wide-board bamboo floors - I use just a damp cloth as all solvents will build up over time.I found it a bit hard to get started as the North Star connection can be fussy in odd-shaped spaces (as in between my area rugs)- it seems to work if I break the room down into imaginary rectangles where the bare areas are. It also had trouble in the kitchen -- it won't connect if siting on my stone counters but was OK on the edge of the stove.It does a good job avoiding things and not running up on carpets, etc. It is very quiet. As another reviewer mentioned, it only does about 2 hours and then needs to charge over night.I like it as, for all its current drawbacks, it does more mopping than I would do. However, if you are not in a hurry, I'd wait for the next edition. I'm sure it will get better and better.

Question: What coffee maker is my economical coffee maker like?

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 is not included in their green smoothie?

This is the perfect processor if you're like me and only occasionally need to bring it out. It may not be able to turn your kale into perfectly smooth kale cream, but it is quick and efficient for soups and other mixes you may sometimes need to process. I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie, because it works better than my blender. Great for its price point, highly recommended.

Question: What couldn't they remove from the oven?

These things are a bit difficult to get use to when gripping things. I found that I could not remove my Lodge cast iron skillet from the oven using one of these, it took two. I much prefer my Farberware Pro Silicone Grabbers. You can get them here at Amazon. Gripping the skillet handle with the OXO puts the cloth part in contact with the pan, and on a gas stove, the flame, so that is out. I can see how keeping your thumb out of the holder would improve your grip, but who wants to keep their hand out of the holder reaching into a 400 degree oven? The Silicone Grabbers are a much better tool for my needs.

Question: What usually comes unsecured on the top of the device?

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

Question: What brand of pots and pans did the writer's wife buy?

If you use your pots and pans as recommended, they will maintain good form and finish. Who would have thought this to be the case? We have ruined our fair share of pots and pans. My wife searched for a long time, did a lot of reading, took customer reviews from all over the internet into consideration and finally decided on this Cuisinart set. As stated, if you use them properly they will last a very long time. We've only had them for a few weeks but use them very regularly and so far they're great!

Question: What is the brand name of measuring cups?

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 happened to the second mixer?

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

Question: where did the writer buy their old computer?

I finally got around to using the attachments to clean out the inside of my old computer. I bought it at a local computer shop about five years ago. It had been made for someone who never picked it up. I was going to get rid of it because it kept cutting off. I decided to take off the cover and see if there was something I could do. I figured, I couldn't hurt it, so why not. There was a unit inside with a fan attached (not the one on the power box). It was packed with so much gunk that I could not clean with q tips. This attachment worked wonderfully! I vacuumed out all the accumulated dust as well. It appeares to be fine. I will see and if it remains ok I will upgrade it. All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7. I can also use these attachments to clean other things as well. They are worth every penny I paid for them.

Question: What is the writer most satisfied with the Juicer?

I've not had one issue with this juicer thus far *knocks on wood* I've been using this daily since it shipped and absolutely love it!If I had to change one thing about this Juicer it would be adding a bigger sized barel to trap the pulp, otherwise it's fantastic for the price, you just can't beat it. If you're juicing leafy green veggies and such, you don't have to clean this product after every use, only if you add in fruit.Cleanup is relatively simple, the screen takes a little scrubbing with some soap but cleans up nicely, I haven't had an issue with particles being stuck in the grating, it's all come out very easily with hot water.Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect juicer, it doesn't exist but for a centrifugal, this is definitely on top.

Question: Am I missing out on anything by not having this attachment?

If you are looking at this, you have probably bought a Miele vacuum cleaner like we did. Our house is about half tiles and the other half carpeted. We decided to purchase this attachment for use on the carpet. After several use, I have to say that I could do without it. The one that came with the vacuum cleaner is more than adequate for both tiles and carpet. I can not tell the difference between the two and it is too much of a hassle to stop and swap out. So if you are considering....save yourself some money and stick with the one that came with the unit; you are not missing out on anything.
