Question: What rating does she give the product?

The Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is an attractive and nicely weighted/balanced iron. With a shiny stainless steel soleplate, ironing is smooth and quick with no drag like I've had with some of the non-stick soleplates I've used in the past. One extremely nice feature is the narrow tip (that also has steam vents), which makes getting into those difficult places like shirt cuffs, much easier.I was impressed with how quickly the iron heated up and it steams garments vertically nicely. This eliminates the need for a separate steamer and in fact, does a nicer job than my old steamer! The iron has a 30 second turn-off safety feature that activates when the iron is left on horizontally, and an 8 minute turn-off when the iron is left on vertically. This is a great feature for college students, but when sewing and pressing as one goes, this can be a bit of a pain.I do like the steam features, especially the extra holes in the tip of the iron. I can really get some nice presses on the cuffs of hubby's dress shirts. I am having some issues with sputtering and the iron leaves wet spots on my clothes while using the steam. I've been over the booklet and haven't found a solution to that problem yet. There isn't any type of steam adjustment - just a heavy full steam and this sucks up the water quickly. I found I had to keep refilling while ironing hubby's shirts. That was a pain. The fill hole is not the easiest to access and the iron has to be held at an awkward angle. Surprisingly, a fill cup was not included.I really don't care for the dial temperature setting. It's located under the handle and is not easy to see the markings. I'm also not impressed with the picture directions that came with the iron. There are a few written instructions, but I'd prefer them written out with a few illustrations.Overall, my rating for the Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is 3.5 stars.

Question: what was wrong with the old knife?

I purchased this knife on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated. I had my old chef's knife for many years, and it was time for a new one. This does not disappoint ! After using this one, I realized how extremely dull my old one was. No comparison-this one is so sharp and lightweight. I can't believe how nicely & easily I cut through everything now! A very good value for the price too. I highly recommend this knife.

Question: What type of sausage is used?

Like another reviewer has already said, what do you expect when the description said miniature skillet? The price should have been a dead giveaway and it almost is. A really great price for great quality. I scramble 1 to 2 eggs depending on the size egg I happen to have on hand and cover the skillet with a saucer or salad plate to styeam the egg till solid. With a little ham, a sausage patty, or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. I just don't understand any complaints about this great deal. I'm sure I will find many additional uses.

Question: What is being reviewed?

This was on sale at such a good price that I had to try it. I always wanted a cordless vacuum but didn't think it would really do much so I never bought one. This one breaks that rule for sure! It actually works! It is so easy to use this instead of my regular vacuum cleaner everyday. This one will be my go-to one for most of the week from now on. I will only have to use my full vacuum cleaner a few times a week now. I love this little sweeper. I have 3 cats and one dog and it cleans up even pet hair incredibly. I can vacuum the whole middle level of my house on one battery charge, including my sectional couch. It charges quickly as well if I want to take it upstairs later in the day. This little charmer is a keeper in my house and here to stay.

Question: What did the person not like about silicone contained in the ice cube tray?

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: What is the finish of the shakers?

I love this satin brushed salt and pepper shaker. The idea to store the pepper shaker in the salt shaker is great. I love watching guests trying to figure it out. I do not have any problems getting enough salt out of the shaker and the pepper shaker is more for white pepper. I do use white pepper often, but only as powder. If I need black pepper I do use a pepper mill. I am trying to avoid too much salt and pepper anyway and I really do not like the automatic grab to the salt shaker. So the little wholes do work well.The salt and pepper shaker are easy to refill and also easy to clean.

Question: Was the vacuum worth buying?

Normally I like Eureka products but this one SUCKS - and I don't mean that in a good way. As for suction - there isn't any. At least not enough to pick up anything more than a hair or a miniscule crumb. If that! What a waste of money. I'd have sent it back but the shipping fee & my time and trouble (not to mention gas to go to the post office) were not worth the effort. My kids love playing with it - they think they are vacuuming with the real thing, like Mommy. My advice - use your regular vac (even tho it may be a pain to drag out) or a mop.

Question: Where do you put the bottom of the corkscrew?

This is a virtually "never fail" corkscrew. You simply set the bottom of the corkscrew on the top of the wine bottle, turn the top of the corkscrew clockwise until the cork is out of the bottle, remove the corkscrew, turn the top of the corkscrew counter-clockwise until the cork projects from the bottom, and then remove the cork. I'm an old man, I've been drinking wine for decades, and I've owned lots of corkscrews and wine openers, including some quite expensive ones, and this is truly the best I've ever seen. My hat is off to Oxo for producing and offering this fine product!

Question: What color is the new Pinzon throw?

I just received my Pinzon throw today. This is my first review out of hundreds of products I have bought from Amazon or elsewhere. First of all it is throw size, not a blanket. I have been using a Liz Claiborne throw for years that was very soft and very big. It was also in boring beige. I bought the red color to give my chair a little spice. The color is gorgeous. A true jewel red. It is even softer and thicker while feeling a little lighter than my big LC throw. Maybe due to the smaller size. I had read other reviews that said it smelled and must be washed immediately. It did not smell but I thought I should wash it first, according to previous reviews. It says to wash it separately, well I didn't do that ,but I did wash it with other red items and a few white rags, and other items I was willing to risk. It came out of the wash without leaving any color on even the white items. It came out of the dryer nice and fluffy. I just remember I forgot the dryers sheets. Buy it for yourself and others. Can't beat the red color for a Christmas gift. Leave the boring beige for another purchase.

Question: What is really thin?

This is an update to my review below...Having used this little spatula for a few months now, I'd glad to say that it is still holding up well. Better than expected. I've found the best uses for it, and its 'big brother'. They sustain the heat of cooking without staining or scorching. Very pleased. I WOULD recommend either....'D. Wetherington' commented on the thickness of it, and I must say, it didn't occur to me until I used it, but it is a bit too thick. Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future. NOT SAYING IT WILL...just feels like it will.Also, the end, where the hole is, is REALLY thin. It almost feels like an afterthought. Flimsy. For the price, I would NOT recommend it to a friend.Pros...'Scrapes all the stuff'Cleans easilyOne piece unitCons...Unsure of the qualityA bit stiffEnd too 'rubbery'

Question: What came out leveled?

I cannot say enough about USA Pans! These are the BEST pans on the market and the GREAT part is that they are made in the USA! Just plain awesome! The pans cook evenly, they look good after cooking and the pattern on the bottom of the pan does not come on the baked product! After dropping the pan a few times to get the air bubbles out, cakes our pretty much leveled as we rarely have to level the cakes. We also place parchment paper in the bottom of the pan but if we are baking cakes, this is our go to pan! We have bought almost the entire line of USA pans including the deep dish pizza pans and we have not been disappointed! If you want your baked goods to come out perfect and without much fuss, then these pans are for YOU! :)

Question: What review did the user read?

I bought this knife after reading an America's Test Kitchen review...was a little skeptical as it was so relatively inexpensive but it's great! Hold it's edge, nice weight (not too heavy) and definitely a keeper. I had a potluck BBQ with several friends who were doing various preps in my kitchen of things they had brought...after several of them mentioned loving the knife and that they were considering just slipping it into their bags when they left...I told them...that it was a Victorinox. not that expensive and they could easily go online and buy one from Amazon too. People that like to cook seem to go through set after set of useless knives or spent a small fortune trying to find "the perfect knife" I know I have...then again there's the Victorinox (the same company that makes Swiss Army Knives) it's great...who knew? They need to advertise more.

After years of eating cold food I can finally have a warm meal at work.The unit itself is small so you can't fit too much in it, but for one persons lunch it is fine. For a unit so small though I would have expected it to warm my food quicker. I really need to put my lunch in by 9am if I want it at the right temp for lunch. This is a bit annoying because if I forget to put it in right away I am out of luck.The cord is very short so you will need an extension cord to use. You will want to be easily reached since there is no on/off so you will just have to keep unplugging it.Also the insert is metal which might sound ok but its kind of silly. It makes it too hot to remove so I sit here eating out of the entire crock pot, which just looks silly.Overall it works ok but I think you are better off getting a $10 standard 2qt crock pot, which will have a lot more options for a fraction of the price.

Answer: at work.

Question: The customers new infuser is made from what?

My other infuser is a plasticy mesh that lets no leaves through. It is better.That said, this one is not bad. It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. The lid covers nicely while steeping and provides a good place to sit the wet leaves- it has an inner ring that keeps the liquid from flowing out as the leaves drain.It is relatively difficult to clean as small leaves stick to the inside along the perforations and along the top edge where the metal is joined together. It takes more time to clean than the mesh style.I purchased this because I thought it would last forever (ForLife), but I noticed a gash in it, in the perforated section, not long after I got it. I don't know if it was there when I got it or if I did it somehow, but now I assume it is more fragile than it appears.Amazon has removed this item from sale several times due to quality issues, but there was never an explanation. I need another infuser and I'll be trying something else. This one is just ok.

Question: What did this person buy?

This is my second set of silicone. The other set I have is a bit thicker, but as you need to put this on something else anyway, I'm not sure thinner matters. It might even be easier to pop muffins out.Several reviewers mentioned sticking and cleaning issues. I have always used at least some oil and have had no problem removing my muffins as long as I am patient enough for them to cool down. A bit of twisting and pushing from the bottom and they pop right out.As to cleaning, I just soak for a few minutes in hot soapy water and then wipe out with a paper towel. Then I throw it in the dishwasher. Maybe the people with problems are cooking something very sticky?I like these silicone pans a lot.

Question: What does it clean up well?

Answer: pet hair

This was on sale at such a good price that I had to try it. I always wanted a cordless vacuum but didn't think it would really do much so I never bought one. This one breaks that rule for sure! It actually works! It is so easy to use this instead of my regular vacuum cleaner everyday. This one will be my go-to one for most of the week from now on. I will only have to use my full vacuum cleaner a few times a week now. I love this little sweeper. <hl> I have 3 cats and one dog and it cleans up even pet hair incredibly. <hl> I can vacuum the whole middle level of my house on one battery charge, including my sectional couch. It charges quickly as well if I want to take it upstairs later in the day. This little charmer is a keeper in my house and here to stay.

Question: What type of filter does this product contain?

We purchased this a few months ago. Since we purchased it, it has been a terrible product. First, the machine constantly clogs. Expect to have to turn it off and reach your hand up into the canister to clear it out at least 4 times while vacuuming one room. There is very little suction both before it clogs and after clearing a clog. The HEPA filter slides out by itself while vacuuming a room. The hose is very short making it very difficult to reach distances. It also falls over easily. This may be problematic if you have children. All in all this was a bad purchase. I have no idea why this has so many good reviews. Think twice before buying this one.

Question: How many cats does the reviewer have?

I, too, bought this dispenser so that I could easily refill my three cats' bowls each day. While this dispenser is attractive, functional and air-tight, it is too small to hold a week's worth of food and I have to hold my hand next to the opening to keep the triangular-shaped food from being shot across the counter.After less than a year, I had to discard it because the rubber seal on the bottom kept falling off.

Question: What color wee the sheets supposed to be?

Some issues:1. Italian, Egyptian? But not cotton. Morally questionable if not outright false advertising.2. LOTS AND LOTS of loose threads discovered while unpacking the sheets. Honestly, I would expect something this thready to be sold at a discount.3. I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green.Would NOT buy again, but... they're okay.

Question: How long ago did the reviewer buy the product?

Bought this six years ago to use instead of the under-cabinet one that was already installed in my kitchen. The under-cabinet one was better at unscrewing a lid, but occasionally the jar would slip out of the vice and my hand would get pinched. Well, this OXO opener proved to be a disaster in every way. Like other reviewers noted, it doesn't secure well enough to the lid, slips off the lid, and hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar. I'm surprised no one has sued the company for manufacturing this awkward, uncomfortable, dangerous product.

Question: What did the speaker not particularly like about the gift?

I got these as a gift. I wasn't wild about the crazy colors, but as knives go, they are really good.They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized, and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths. I previously had a giant wood block full or terribly dull knives. I was very glad to get these. I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. It's nice - takes up less room, and the knives actually WORK. All you need are these knives. Steak knives, you can keep in the drawer. Good gift!

Question: What does this get rid of?

I am trying to do what I can to keep allergy free so this is another product in that effort. After experiencing a bad bout of sinus issues last year I bought this and other cleaning tools to eliminate dust and other stuff that is floating in the air. So far the regimen is working but I am not sure how much this contributes to the overall effect since this is not in a busy area of the house. I will say that it is not overly loud but it does make some noise (more like white noise). Overall I am happy with purchase and the product is still going strong.

Question: What kind of sheets needed fixing?

Some sheet sets just refuse to stay on my bed. Maybe its friction, or a lack of it, but it seems every morning I'd wake up on bare mattress, and have to redo 2 or more corners of my fitted sheets. But I still like the sheets, and don't want to throw them away...So I ordered these clips. Very simple. You clip them on the diagonal across the corners of the underside of the mattress, and you forget about them until you change your sheets. The Clips hold tight, don't tear the fabric or the mattress, are easy enough to use, and save me from moving my darn mattress every day. Well worth the cost.

Question: What type of knife did they buy?

Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price. Decided to try this one out after reading the positive reviews. I was not expecting much for the price, but thought that it would be a good start without spending lots of money. To my surprise, this knife turns out to be one of my favorites given that it can handle most of your slicing, chopping, scooping and dicing all with one tool!The weight is perfect since its not a meat cleaver, and it handles fine dicing to rough chopping amazingly well! You really cant beat it for the price, and even with cost aside, it is a great knife to have in your arsenal. It is my general go to knife now, and works amazingly well especially with my new found love of wok cooking (mostly thai food)

Question: What is the bottle made of?

I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink. But I have to admit -- it's handy. I especially like having one in the car.I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. But I don't like it when the water gets warm and in the summer, leaving the bottle in the car means hot drinking water. Yuk. So I wondered, there must be insulated bottles and sure enough found this one.Love it.It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool.The spout is handy and flips open easily. It doesn't leak at all.

Question: When was the product purchased?

Don't waste your money. Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing. They leak less than these and are free. If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. I will grant that these are pretty and white and don't have a food name embossed on them. But they are for storing stuff, so who is really going to see it? I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. I use recycled lids or canning lids for everything else.

Question: what solutions didn't work for the wife?

I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores. He doesn't just snore a little bit, he SNORES LOUD. I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud.This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better.It is a great product.

Question: Some other blenders make little noise, so they are good for using during what time of day?

I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. It is all self contained, so you just take the drink container with you and off you go. Only one item to clean, it couldn't be easier. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Heck, for 15 bucks, how can you go wrong. Try it! I use ground flax seeds, yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit (although partially frozen is better and same goes for the more powerful Nutribullet), crushed ice, spinach, and kale, any variation of those. It pulverizes it perfectly. Don't waste 100.00 or more on these Nutribullets or more expensive blenders just for single serve use. This is perfect. You will love it!!

I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. <hl> It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. <hl> It is all self contained, so you just take the drink container with you and off you go. Only one item to clean, it couldn't be easier. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Heck, for 15 bucks, how can you go wrong. Try it! I use ground flax seeds, yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit (although partially frozen is better and same goes for the more powerful Nutribullet), crushed ice, spinach, and kale, any variation of those. It pulverizes it perfectly. Don't waste 100.00 or more on these Nutribullets or more expensive blenders just for single serve use. This is perfect. You will love it!!

Question: what would the reviewer sometimes use to pick up all the stragglers?

Why did I wait so long to get this ????? I hated dragging the cutting board over to the pan to scrape off diced veggies. Sometimes I would use my hands and have to pick, pick at all the stragglers. This is the handiest tool ever ! Scoops up my diced onions and gets them all. I don't have to use my hands to pick them up anymore or drag over the cutting board to the stove. Great for anything you are chopping up. I bought two more for my daughters.

Question: How long does the customer leave the lids in the microwave for?

I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

Question: How can the appliance get from room to room easily?

This works--will reduce humidity down to 45% which is the lowest I have tried to go with it. It is easy to use. Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it. It is easy to turn on, easy to set the desired humidity level. I've been using it off and on only for about four weeks so I can't speak for its durability. It looks like the picture, not unattractive. I find it a bit noisy--worse than my air conditioner but you get used to the sound. It does warm the air around it, so I've avoided using it on hot days. It is heavy--therefore a battle to get out of the package. But it rolls from room to room easily. If there are any problems with it as I use over a longer period of time, I'll add a post to my review.

Question: What does the reviewer love?

Love the clear glass. I have all of the Hario product line for coffee-making. Just a couple of notes - you will get a much better result using the Hario paper cone filters; actually, I think it's the only way to do it well. While I've made coffee through paper towels in the past, this dripper wouldn't work with that. Also, the flat bottom piece with the handle is plastic - which, I was at first, not happy about, but it makes a much 'softer landing' onto the top of a cup or a pot and there are tiny tabs underneath that prevent it from sliding sideways off the cup/pot. Really excellent bit of industrial design. Coffee shops in the are are using these as well. If you're a coffee perfectionist, this is the thing to have.

Question: What hurts the reviewer when using the product?

Answer: hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar

Bought this six years ago to use instead of the under-cabinet one that was already installed in my kitchen. The under-cabinet one was better at unscrewing a lid, but occasionally the jar would slip out of the vice and my hand would get pinched. Well, this OXO opener proved to be a disaster in every way. <hl> Like other reviewers noted, it doesn't secure well enough to the lid, slips off the lid, and hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar . <hl> I'm surprised no one has sued the company for manufacturing this awkward, uncomfortable, dangerous product.

Question: What did the toaster do to the counter?

Great toaster, makes bagels just like the bagel shops (crisp on the inside and soft on the outside-assuming you cut the bagel in half of course). Easy to make toast, however, it can only do two large pieces of bread at once, one on each rack. I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop. Easy to clean crumb catcher - just empty it a lot since it is a simple small pull out tray. DON'T try to take out the racks to put in the dishwasher like the pamphlet says is possible - or your toaster is toasted. We like ours a lot and it is well constructed and doors and racks glide in and out effortlessly. I may buy a couple more for my daughters to use too.

Question: What is the brand name of the rice cooker purchased?

This rice cooker cooks my rice perfectly every time. I have grown up using rice cookers from the $30 models to the nicer Sanyo micro-processor models. The Zojurishi comes in handy to not only cook rice for large groups, but also to keep rice warm and ready for consuming for around two days. The 10 cup model is also good for one or two rice eaters. i believe you have to cook atleast two cups of rice, but the cups are smaller cups (i believe a 3/4 cup measuring). Although I haven't cooked brown rice yet it has some special settings for the GABA brown rice, which i will be switching to once my 15lb bag of jasmine long grain white rice is used up. Also, I still wonder why Zojirushi does not include any rice cleaning bowls, but make sure you grab one to easily wash your rice before cooking!I got mine using the Amazon warehouse for a discounted price and I couldn't really tell "the box was opened and the item was repackaged" since all of the stickers were still on it and it was well packaged. I saved over half the price as well going with this option. I love mine, get one!

Question: What might happen in the future?

This is an update to my review below...Having used this little spatula for a few months now, I'd glad to say that it is still holding up well. Better than expected. I've found the best uses for it, and its 'big brother'. They sustain the heat of cooking without staining or scorching. Very pleased. I WOULD recommend either....'D. Wetherington' commented on the thickness of it, and I must say, it didn't occur to me until I used it, but it is a bit too thick. Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future. NOT SAYING IT WILL...just feels like it will.Also, the end, where the hole is, is REALLY thin. It almost feels like an afterthought. Flimsy. For the price, I would NOT recommend it to a friend.Pros...'Scrapes all the stuff'Cleans easilyOne piece unitCons...Unsure of the qualityA bit stiffEnd too 'rubbery'

Question: What happens if you misplace the carafe?

I find it to be a pain in the neck to clean. Along with that, some fruit, I have to cut up just so it fits. I wish the chute was a little bit bigger. Also, if you aren't VERY careful and don't place the carafe just right, it will leak so make sure you set it in there properly. I did notice, as I'm dropping fruit in, sometimes it spits back up from the chute even if I've waited and let it finish with the previous one. In my personal opinion, if you're going to splurge and get one of these, go with a more expensive brand. This one isn't bad, but I don't feel it was worth the money.

Question: What kind of upright did the reviewer hate having?

I've been on a vacuum cleaner quest since my very fine Hoover canister vac died about a year ago. With four cats, and no lack of cat hair or cat puke, I do ask a lot of a vacuum cleaner.I had a bagless upright when those were first introduced and hated it because of how difficult it was to empty and clean out the container. I ended up having to interact with the dirt all over again, so had gone back to bagged canister vacs. This Bissell solved by objections to bagless uprights. The container is easy to carry through the house and empty without having to deal with the dirt and dust over again.Set up and assembly was quite fast and easy. On-board tool holders, and cord and hose wraps, are well placed and work well.The power switch being in an odd, inconvenient place is my only design objection.Very good, powerful suction. I'm extremely pleased and impressed with how much it is pulling up and getting. The hand tool for stairs also does a very good job.Didn't seem too heavy to me, had no problem lifting it step-by-step up the stairs.Very pleased and impressed.

Question: If it was advertised correctly, how many stars the review would have gotten?

Okay: the cup itself is great. It's heavy and durable. The silicon lid and gromet are fine as well. Overall this purchase would rank as a 4.5-5-Star aquisition under normal circumstances...except:It is advertised as a 16-ounce cup, but wait...it holds 13.5-ounces (measured with graduated cylinder; not eyeball) filled completely to the top (not practical for coffee drinkers in less you want a lap-full-o'-coffee). So 12-ounces is a safe capacity.False advertising Smart Planet. I would love for a company representative to explain this. I'll give you that the outer diameter of the cup is probably 16-ounces, but that's far from the liquid capacity.I'm giving the cup 3-stars because as I've said: it's a good cup. I'm drinking from it right now. Smart Planet deserves 1-star though.

Question: Which improvement would this reviewer make to the product?

I use these to heat two rooms in my basement. One is a 300 square foot windowless room and the other is about a 1000 square feet of open space. I use these in conjunction with my hydronic heating, which, when it is really cold outside, struggles to heat the basement rooms to acceptable levels. One of these in each room gets both of them nice and toasty. They are a little loud, and the vent can be hot to the touch, but I'm very happy with my purchase. They even automatically shut off when tipped over. Just wish they were a bit more programmable so I could schedule when it is on, not just how long it will be on.
