Question: How long does it take to clean?

I was not disappointed in any way with the purchase of this juicer. All of the positive reviews I read about this machine were true!It is engineered like any really good juicer should be:1. Powerful and efficient2. Easy to use (even for new juicers)3. Well constructed with mostly stainless steel and easy/fast to dismantle and reassemble4. FAST5. EASY to clean6. and also.....EASY to clean!My wife and I can make a gallon of juice in a matter of a few minutes, and the 4 parts of the juicer that need to be cleaned (besides the juice pitcher) can be cleaned in about 5 minutes. (unlike some other juicers like the Jack Lalaine which can take forever to clean their multiple cheap plastic parts.)If we want to make several different juices or juice mixes, it is also very easy to dismantle, clean quickly, and go on to making the next juice. We sometimes make 4 or 5 different juice concoctions and have the machine cleaned and ready to put away in less than an hour. (wow!)It is also very quiet in comparison to other machines. The two speed motor is also very useful when mixing different ingredients (such as low speed for citrus juices, and high speed for other ingredients).I have not owned my juicer very long, but it has been really a great experience with this one. (unlike some of my friends who bemoan their experiences with other brands) I have been told also by other friends that the Breville brand is much more reliable and that the customer service and warranty are very good.After I wear this one out (probably will take a long time as it is very well made!), I will definately get another Breville!

Answer: in about 5 minutes

Question: What does this have more of compared to single ply pans?

This is a beautiful pan to look at and easy to use. The handle on the pot does not get hot, but the handle on the lid sure does. All that means is a hot pad to take the lid off.The pan is somewhat heavier than single ply pans but the evenness of heating is worth the extra weight. We use it on an electric ceramic cook top so the flatness of the bottom of the pan is critical.All-Clad recommends warming the pan up gradually and not using any more than medium heat with the pan. We have tried to follow those instructions and the pan has done an excellent job.

Question: What should yo do before putting the clips on the base?

This rack is thin and lightweight and to be honest, I wondered if it would hold my spices without the clips breaking or coming off the base; not a problem. Follow the directions for placing the clips, and arrange your spice containers before sticking the clips to the base. You will be pleased with the results. Keep in mind when ordering, that these racks will hold small glass spice bottles and small to medium-large plastic spice containers. The racks are great for what they're intended to do, they are not a cure-all for every "spice cabinet need", use them accordingly and you'll be happy with your purchase.

Question: Where did the reviewer state that the water would take on a taste if stored in?

Tested tap water was 184. So not bad for Springfield, MO However I can definitely taste the difference. And after it did deliver after filtration to 000 tpm. We have lots of lime in our water so will see how long filter last. So far no acidic taste. If u don't drink ALL that 23 CUPS in a day or two. Expect it to take on a taste if ur refrigerator. As this us not sealed system. We drink it all in at least 2DAYS. If we don't we dump the remaining and rinse container. And start new batch . It does have a tiny bit of taste but still nothing as bad as the tap water. Maybe adding a tiny tiny pinch of sea salt to container will make it less acidic tasting and add some increased ph back to the water and it also adds nutrients back. . However I love knowing my body and kidneys are not going clog up from all the sediments and some chemicals.

Question: What do most recipes call for?

with 3-4 folks camping, i struggled with 4qt vs 6qt. The 6qt 12in is pretty heavy but is perfect size for our campouts. The 4qt/10in would have been too small. The instruction book and recipe book were excellent in getting us started. The lid that holds charcoals is a must since most recipes call for coals to be on the top and the rim around the lid ensures easy placement. One thing they do to help you get consistent results is to use regular charcoal briquettes, this made our first few tries successful. Lodge Logic quality speaks for itself.

Question: What is the writer reviewing?

I love this little toaster. It's not perfect quality, but come on. It burns little domo faces into your toast. Everyone who's come over wants a piece of toast.And when I say burn, I really mean burn. Sometimes they're kind of or really off-centered. But mainly you just have to put your toast in right.I haven't had any issue with any shorts or fire like some other people have said. I did have a piece of toast get stuck once because the metal has become slightly warped on one side.Overall, I really like it and don't regret it. It has a knob for settings, crumb tray, and looks just like (maybe even better) than the picture.Oh. And don't put pop-tarts in there. It warms them, but the print doesn't work.

Question: What is the reviewer's one complaint?

This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. We have stone tiles in the kitchen and I've been finding it hard to clean lately. I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been boiling water and using that as mop water. This is perfect -- saves me a step and works twice as well! The cord is really short, so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint. I also wish there was another cloth that came with it so I would always have one ready when the other one is in the wash. Quick to heat up and quick to dry as well. Really enjoying this product!

Question: What kind of material is it made from?

At first, even before opening the box I was impressed with the weight of this item which told me it was not going to be made of flimsy plastic and I was right. It is very well made from heavy duty plastic but that is the only good thing I have to say about this product. Let me start with what is referred to as the "small blade" that would be the orange one, it will not cut anything, it could not even cut through the skin of a plum tomato. It simply mushes down tomatoes, onions and anything else you try and cut with the small blade and don't even think about trying to dice a potato. On to the "medium blade", the green one. It did mange to cut a zucchini even if I could only cut three inch pieces at one time. It did cut a potato after I leaned on it while pressing down with both hands, it barely made it through a green pepper and absolutely slaughtered a tomato because like the small blade it could not cut through the skin. How this piece of junk got so many rave reviews is beyond me. I don't doubt those that love this thing and can only assume that they were lucky enough to receive one that actually had sharp blades, cutting grid or whatever you call it. That is all that is really wrong with this product, it's dull, it can hardly make it's way through an onion! Like I said,it's heavy enough but just so dull it's hard to believe that the manufacturer does not realize this. With the pressure needed to cut a potato or whatever I'm certain it won't be long before this plastic food chopper is put in my recycling can. Who knows maybe in it's second life it will come back as something useful like a water bottle or something. My two star rating based is on one star because it is made from heavy plastic. The other star is based on the plastic storage box it came with because I'm sure I can find a good use for it other than what it was intended for. Sure I could clean up the chopper, pack it up and return it but I've decided to keep it as a reminder to never buy anything again from the company that made it or any other type of food chopper for that matter. Save your money and use a knife to cut your veggies it will be easier and faster, trust me!

Question: Why are the prices a little bit higher on these items?

I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned." I can detect rust underneath which was not cleaned off prior to factory seasoning. Some of the rust is alredy surfacing. I will have to remove the old seasoning and rust and then properly season before actually using it. I have noticed that Lodge is not pre-seasoning their products as well as they used to. The last three items I purchased via AMAZON have the same problem. AMAZON should contact Lodge regarding this continuing trend. I suggest anyone interested in purchasing any of the Lodge line of products to consider the aforementioned first. One reason Lodge pre-seasoned products are higher is becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use.

Question: what site do they use for their purchases?

This is a perfect gift for someone who drinks wine. As the pictures show, you can give it to someone with a bottle of wine in it, then they can use it to collect their corks in.I use Amazon for most of my purchases and update my reviews if anything changes with the products.

I am not associated with any company and all opinions are my very own.

Question: How many tablespoons are in one compartment of the organizer?

I had to buy all new kitchenware, and this organizer holds a lot. The product image does not do it justice. I put 9 tablespoons in one compartment and there's room left over. I put eight 4-place dinner settings, 3 wire whisks, a large can opener, tongs, peeler, 4 sharp knives, a big strainer ladle, measuring spoons, basting brush and more in it. It is a charcoal color and is padded with a soft light grey padding material. First non-wood organizer I've seen that doesn't look cheap! This one is better because of the generous compartments and the padding that keeps things from moving and rattling.

Question: what did the writer rate the product?

When I first opened the package with these gloves, they looked huge. However, upon putting these one these fit my hands perfectly. Having said that, I have large hands, so someone with small hands might find these very large. These gloves are thick, but not too thick where you can't handle anything. These are nicer than mitt style gloves as you are able to handle things better with fingers. The silicone grips give you an extra amount of grip. These would be great for canning, along with already being great for grilling or handling hot items coming out of the oven. Recommended to anyone who cooks, grills, cans, or anyone that needs to handle anything hot or cold. I rate these 5 stars.

Question: What is the poster shipped in?

This is just like any other poster you would buy in the store. I did not have the same experience as Scott did. As far as the text goes, I think it is supposed to be tacky and corny. It's a poster of a hot broad bending over in a fridge for cristsake, not fancy art work! It's a poster, no more no less. If you're a fan of beer and also girls bending over, and have a man cave that needs some 'sprucing up', then this is the poster for you. The poster ships in a regular triangle type box and arrived in a timely manner. Worth buying. Combine with LiquidAss fart spray (which I also reviewed) to create a unique experience.

If you're a fan of beer and also girls bending over, and have a man cave that needs some 'sprucing up', then this is the poster for you. <hl> The poster ships in a regular triangle type box and arrived in a timely manner. <hl> Worth buying. Combine with LiquidAss fart spray (which I also reviewed) to create a unique experience.

Question: What is my only real gripe

I bought this to melt down butters, solid oils, and beeswax for lotion-making.It works very well in melting things down, but it's better suited to smaller batches because of it's small size.My only real gripe is that it does not stand in place on it's own; if you don't have enough material inside to balance it out, it will fall over. For me this is a bit of a nuisance when I'm just starting to add things to it, because they may spill out of the container if I don't balance the handle on something else beforehand.Other than that, it works well.

Question: How close to the unit do you have to be to use the remote efficiently.

PROS: Compact, quiet, nice color, OK Ionizor, remote, easy to useCONS: blow power on high setting is weaker than my old fan on low setting, doesn't move air around as adequately as I'd hoped in a small room (direct air is satisfying at best), blue/green light is too bright at night (had to stick tape over my lights to dull the glow.Ultimately, the weak blowing power is what's making me put this back in the box. You can feel the air but when that 85-100+ degree heat starts warming things up, the air from this just isn't enough and I have to plug in my old fan to dry up that first thin layer of sweat. I suggest looking elsewhere if you live in primarily hot areas.UPDATE 12/27/12:I was going to return this but ended up taking it to work instead. It works MUCH much better in larger, mildly air conditioned rooms. It pushes the air around alot better keeping it cooler. I'm glad this didn't turn out to be a waste afterall. The only complaint I have is that you have to be standing about six feet from the unit to get the unit to respond to the remote.

Question: What is the name of the product?

I am satisfied with my dc26 so far.I have a standard 4 bedroom house with about 15% carpet and the rest hardwood floor. DC26 is very light and very easy to navigate. Every detail is designed with care. It has nice performance on both hardwood floor and carpet. The suction is actually quite strong for something this compacted. I wish the suction for hair is a little better, though. I don't have pet hair to deal with, but sometimes I find dc26 has a little trouble sucking up long human hairs. That's why I gave 4 stars.

Question: Where is the napkin holder designed?

I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders. I looked at all the holders that were of this design and liked the looks AND size of this one the best.I will never worry about napkins blowing away again. Designed in the U.S. but manufactured in China.I recommend placing the napkins with the folded part toward the post as well as trying to grab the entire napkin and not just a layer when you pull it out.

Question: What is the model number

Unfortunately, it all too often does not work properly. The round footprint is interesting, not over sized and the corded separate base is a definite advantage. It does boil water quickly when it actually connects.Shortly after I received the hot pot, the spring hinge of the lid stopped springing. It was stuck in an awkwardly angled position and took a lot of effort to get it aligned again. The lid has not created a tight seal since it was relatively new, so the automatic shut off often function does not work well. Since I am always in the kitchen when I boil the water, this has not been an issue. What is always an issue, though, is that the pour spout allows water to pour out the sides as opposed to a single stream out of the spout. Therefore, I have to lift the lid which of course has become heated with the boiling water.The last few days, I have encountered an additional problem with the Chef's Choice 675 Hot Pot. The on/off switch now does not always stay on so I cannot do other tasks in the kitchen but must stand next to the hot pot and try to get the on/off switch to stay on. I called the Chef's Choice customer service number and learned that my option is to send them the hot pot and they will take a look to determine if it can be fixed. They will then tell me if it can be fixed or if I must purchase another Hot Pot. I asked why I should send it to them since they wouldn't give me a repair cost and received no real response other than that's what I can do because I've had it longer than a year. I was unable to receive any cost estimate from the representative because she said she has no idea what is wrong with the pot. I assume that most people do this and then the manufacturer simply disposes of the faulty pots into a landfill and the customer is told they need to purchase another pot, but I'm not willing to do that. I will find a non-electric use for this Chef's Choice 675 pot and purchase a rival model that I sent my dad 2 years ago. That one cost less than half of this product and it works perfectly several times a day.

Question: What decade was the reviewer's house built in?

I gave this organizer three stars because it seems well made, however I couldn't actually use it because it didn't fit any of our doors. It was wide enough to fit over the top on some of the inside doors on our 1960's era home, but not our door to the garage, where I wanted to use it. On the doors where it did fit on the top, we decided not to use it because it made the doors difficult to close, and my husband concerned that the top of the rack was bulky enough to damage the doors if we tried to force close them.I have a different brand of over the top door hangar and that actually fits our bedroom and closet doors with no issues, and I am able to close the doors just fine. So I am not sure what is up with this particular door rack. Overall I usually really like OXO products, so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe this rack fits the doors on newer homes better. But for me this was a product I could not use.

Question: Was this customer satisfied with the price of this product based on what they got?

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

Question: According to the reviewer , what can be a bit of a surprise if you are not careful?

Wife bought this a long time ago.I still not sure about the usefulness of this thing.One of the main reasons you use this is to prevent your microwave from getting dirty from splattering when you heat your food. Which mean you have to clean this cover instead. Better solution than cleaning the oven itself. But still I find it more convenient to just cover the food with a paper towel. You don't have to clean the paper towel, you just throw it away afterwards.It is not a one-fits all solution. Sometimes it is not tall enough.It could have been better if the handle is a knob instead of a hole. The steam can be a bit of a surprise when you get a little careless.Ours has not cracked yet. I guess that is an indication how very few times it has been used in the household.

Question: What keeps the steam and water on this slow cooker?

I just can’t say enough about this cookware, it’s so well made and versatile. It’s labeled and being sold as a “slow cooker,” but if you only think of it as a slow cooker you’re missing the big picture. It’s just so useful to have cookware that can be used in the oven, on the stove, or as a basic slow cooker as well. A dutch oven can do most of that, but those are so heavy before you add food that I have avoided getting one. I like to make a beef stew but with all the vegetables I use it can come out a bit watery, even without adding water. The tight seal on this really kept the steam and water in as well, but now I’m able to finish it off in the oven without any messy transfer. It cleans up easily in the sink.You don’t need to hesitate with this one, just buy it. It’s so useful and well made I can’t believe you’d ever regret it.

Question: Is there a color requirement for the product?

My requirements:1) Large enough for me to serve 8 guests.2) Plastic so it can sit outside on the tile patio, and if it drops, there wouldn't be glass shards everywhere.3) Fit into the fridge door (which this one does because it is oval rather than round - ingenious!)4) Clear so the tea is made quickly - which yesterday proved to be less than 20 minutes.5) A handle that mitigates the weight of the full pitcher.6) And finally, a lid design that allows me to pour without dribbling tea everywhere.A bonus benefit - I hadn't even asked for a way to add orange peels, etc for infusion but this design, with the separate "filter" works perfectly!

Question: What happens when you pour it on the cheesecloth with the strainer?

I love the Magic Butter Machine. It works perfectly every time I use it. I have infused Coconut Oil and made Butter and was very happy with the results. When you strain the oil/butter, I recommend using good quality cheesecloth and RSVP Endurance Conical Strainer, 5"Sold by River Road here on Amazon. I pour into the strainer and let it drip/flow into the cheesecloth. This strains the herb out and makes very clear oil/butter. When I had a question, I called the Magical Butter phone# on their web site and they had excellent customer service. The machine works great and the company really is there to help you if you have questions. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Question: How can the nozzle on the vacuum be described?

I bought this hand-held vac because of the good reviews (should have read the one-star's) and I just sold it in a garage sale. I agree with several of the other complaints (poor suction, blows dust, cord doesn't stay wrapped even if you use the cord clip) but I have a few to add of my own. To sum them all up, this vacuum is hard to maneuver and absolutely will not get into or under small places because the nozzle is too wide and too high. Yes, there's a nozzle attachment for those uses but the suction is so low that it's worthless. In addition, the vacuum is heavy and unwieldy. I am a woman with not particularly strong hands, but come on! This is supposed to be a convenience item, and instead it's a big pain. I particularly wanted to use it in the car and in the crevices under the cushions of the chairs and couches. But it's definitely not suitable for those uses. At least not in my hands.This was a wasted purchase for me. Consider the uses you intend to put it to before purchasing and check the one- and two-star reviews.

In addition, the vacuum is heavy and unwieldy. I am a woman with not particularly strong hands, but come on! This is supposed to be a convenience item, and instead it's a big pain. I particularly wanted to use it in the car and in the crevices under the cushions of the chairs and couches. But it's definitely not suitable for those uses. At least not in my hands. This was a wasted purchase for me. Consider the uses you intend to put it to before purchasing and check the one- and two-star reviews.

Question: what was the condition of the first waffles they cooked?

I was very excited when I received this waffle maker. I had done my homework and was excited to make my waffles. The first time I used it, the waffles were a beautiful golden brown. Unfortunately my luck and the machine did not last. The second time I used this product (a few days later) was for a small waffle party and yep, the machine failed miserably. No matter what I did, I could not improve the results: the waffle was burned at the center and uncooked at the edges! Obviously, the heating element went south. It's nice to purchase things on Amazon, because they make it easy to send back! If your looking for a great waffle maker try the KitchenAid Pro Line Series Waffle BakerKitchenAid Pro Line Series Waffle Baker. Pair this withGolden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour, Original, 33-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3)and you have GREAT waffles!

Question: What is suspected to cause kids to cough at night?

I bought these after coming across an article that suggested that kids who cough a lot at night without showing other signs of being sick might be allergic to dust mites in their bed. So, after many a sleepless cough-filled night, I decided to buy this mattress protector along with a pillowcover for our daughter's bed.Whether it was a fluke or not, it seemed to work! She doesn't cough anymore at night unless she's sick! It's made such a difference in our quality of sleep! :) This also fits well and protects her mattress in case she spills her water cup.I highly recommend this product!

Question: What kind of vacuums is this device better than?

This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. I do not leave the unit on the charger..(I think this wears down the battery faster)and only charge it when it sounds like it is getting low...downside...it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

Question: How long can rice last in the Zojurishi rice cooker?

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 brand popcorn does the person eat?

I almost didn't buy this unit, as there were a number of reviews which were troubling. However, I am very happy I took the plunge.I've used it several times so far, and it's exceeded my expectations completely. I have had no issues whatsoever with unpopped kernels or popcorn shooting out all over the place. It's easy, it's fast, and it makes fabulous popcorn.I do let it heat up for about a minute before I add the popcorn, and then it does it's job perfectly. I used a full measure of popcorn, and when it was done there was not even one unpopped kernel. Not one. I have a large plastic popcorn bucket which I bought in Target, and I placed it right in front of the chute. The popcorn landed exactly where it was supposed to - in the bucket. The only problem, and this was my fault, it filled up the bucket with popcorn so quickly that I wasn't prepared with another empty container to put in it's place. Now I'm fully prepared. I used White Cat Corn popcorn, so perhaps it's a cut above, because everything popped.Bottom line - this machine does an excellent job, and i can't imagine how it can do any better. I've also got a glass Catamount microwave popper (awful), and a giant commercial type popper. This is superior to both.

Question: What type of fruit can this blender handle?

I have used a Vitamix in the past (one of their top of the line with lots of settings, etc.) and found that this 2-speed blender works just as well - which is to say - it works fantastic. It can take on whole frozen fruit and within seconds turn it into a wonderful smoothie. My usual is fresh bananas, frozen strawberries, blueberries, and peaches. Add a little orange juice and water and you can make a wonderful drink without adding any additional ice.I really like the high/low feature. I may be wrong but this model looks just like the blender that is used on "Chopped" tv show and if it can be used in a commercial kitchen, it should stand up to home use. The reconditioned model comes with a five year warranty and this company really stands behind there product. The unit looks and acts brand new and I would not hesitate to recommend it as a purchase to anyone.

Question: How heavy was the portable A/C unit?

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock, but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. First the portability. Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs, but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. The portable in the title doesn't imply lightweight to some, so I'm making the clarification here.The portable unit covers about 550 square feet, which is wonderful if you have a small apartment, loft or studio. It's also wonderful to have if you live in an apartment complex where AC is only on from say, May to August and you experience a heat wave or you live in the South where it's still warm long after Summer ends. In any of these cases this A/C unit will be a godsend. This would also be great on a screened in porch.Now even though you don't need to put the unit in a window, you do need to use one for the Window, which again limits the actual portability for the unit. The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

Question: What can the gift do?

I received this as a gift from my husband when we were dating due to an inside joke. It isn't the most practical obviously, but it does make nice little ships and icebergs that are easy to remove. I actually bought a second one several months later.

Question: What brand of cookware is the person reviewing?

We have the Caphalon Pots & Pans, these were a natural addition to our set to make sure our Pots & Pans investment would last!http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. Not that they can't 'last' in the pan without melting - just not suggested to keep them in there.The handles feel good, have a nice 'weight', and work well. Enjoy!

Question: One word says how many spares can usually be stored in the TP-Holder?

I have a teensy, tiny bathroom with no convenient wall location on which to mount a TP-Holder.

Question: This fan lacks what kind of switch?

Great little fan that runs on AC line voltage. I bought it to ventilate a desk with an enclosed computer cabinet. I intend to mount it to the back of my computer desk to provide ventilation when the door to the computer compartment is closed. I will need to cut a 120mm round hole for the fan and some other vent holes in the back of the desk.It is not loud, but it is louder than the PC is is cooling. In a quiet room it is definitely noticeable, but for me it is not too annoying yet, though time will tell. Perhaps when I mount it to the back of the desk it won't be so noticeable. Right not is is just sitting next to my computer blowing air out the front of the desk, quite close to me.One thing I wish it had now was an on/off switch. And even better would be a thermal switch so it would only run when its hot.

Question: What is a hassle to install?

Cheap? Yes. Powerful? Enough. Quite? No. Easy to Use? Not. Durable? No. Only two out of five. It is a hassle to install the beaters... and worse is that they are held in place (somewhat) by a inner plastic ring. One of the beaters came out during use and it stripped the inner plastic ring; now it will not latch in place. You can get a durable Cuininart HM-50 for the same price (no brainer) or the Consumer Reports recommend KitchenAid Power 5 for about $10 more Do yourself a favor and look around. Not recommended
