Question: What did the reviewer pre-make?

I received it yesterday and used today. After reading all the pro and con reviews, this is how I made my sandwiches. I pre-made Grand Flaky biscuits. I heated up the unit, lightly sprayed buttery Pam. As unit was warming up, I gathered my ingredients... eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen pre-cooked sausage patties and biscuits. I warmed 2 frozen sausage patties in the microwave for 1 minute while machine was still heating up.I added biscuit bottom and sausage, then added my egg and cooked for 4 minutes. In the last minute, I added my cheese on top of sausage, lastly I added the top of my biscuit on the egg.My sandwich was perfect and delicious. My Biscuits were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My egg did not leak from the machine and it was easy to take apart and wash in hot sudsy water, dried and re-assembled.

Question: How does the coffee taste from this coffeemaker?

This is the best coffemaker we have owned. Coffee tastes better..no pot to clean. I find filling the water reservoir to be no more difficult than other conventional coffee makers. No leaking issues either.Was a little hesitant to purchase due to some of the negative comments posted here but I have no complaints. No matter how good a product is someone will always be unhappy with it. Steve P

Answer: better

Question: What is the bottle made out 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: What was ordered?

My wife and I have bad feet and legs so standing on the hard linoleum after being on our feet all day was painful. We got these for in front of the stove and the sink and couldn't be happier.They are kind of funny that they hold the impression for just a minute after you walk away so you can see your foot prints or the dog's foot and butt prints after they walk away.The first two I got had creases in them that wouldn't go away. I laid them out for the 3 days recommended and they never went away. I ordered replacements and those had creases that went away in less than a day.These are worth the money and keep my comfortable and make cooking and cleaning less of a chore.

Question: Are these just as good for the vacuum as the name brand?

I bought these for my Sears Kenmore Canister Vacuum. I have been using these after market bags for three years and there is zero performance difference in these versus the OEM bags sold at Sears other than the price. Well, unless you just happen to like yellow bags versus white ones in your vacuum. They fit perfectly, hold as much and never rip. I love Sears appliances but I refuse to pay twice as much for their after market products that have no measurable advantage. Model compatibility check was super easy at this vendor.

Question: How much less is the pan from amazon than Macy's?

I purchased this pan at Macy's, and love it so much that I have put a second one on my Amazon Wish List (about $3 less than Macy's).The non-stick surface works like a charm - with just a little bit of greasing ahead of time, nothing sticks. Cleanup is a snap, with just some soapy water and a sponge.The pan is sturdy, distributes heat evenly, and most importantly - the bottom latches securely into the top, forming a solid seal that does not leak.I cannot think of any negatives for this pan (I cannot say the same for another no-name brand pan that will be tossed out as soon as I get my 2nd Anolon)

Question: what can't be placed on the new product?

GOOD FEATURES:1. Looks niceBAD FEATURES:1. Not sturdy2. Poorer quality than the Tablemate I bought a few years back.The one I bought a few years back was called the same thing, but the metal legs were much stronger and of a heavier metal. I use that one all the time to eat, rest my elbows on when watching TV, or to sort things. It can support a lot of weight. The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. Very inferior.

Question: What did the reviewer have to do with the product?

Both ice mold cracked at bottom within a few weeks. I think poor quality. Had to return to get replacement. Otherwise it works great. Shaved ice is fine and pretty fast. From time to time, when it seems slow to shave, remove and rinse blade area because sometimes ice builds up at where the blade is. Put pressure on where the blade is.

Question: What is the type of water you shouldn't fill the device with?

It failed to remove harder stuck-on gunk (fruit residue, for example), but did well with minor spots (where milk spilled, for example). It's certainly more pleasant and less messy to use than a standard mop, though I'm not sure it's any more effective. It hasn't done any damage on wood flooring (yet) while on lowest setting, while still being effective at removing minor spots. It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord. It's also about 5x the price of a basic mop and bucket. It's not a bad product at all, but I wouldn't recommend spending the money on it or a similar product unless you have significant problems using standard mops.

Question: What about this device can potentially annoy others?

I choose this fryer due to it's ease-of-cleaning and it certainly was easy as parts are easily disassembled and re-assembled.The heating for me took approximately 15 minutes as advertised - sometimes quicker and sometimes a bit longer. The temps options are selectable between 300, 325, 350, to 375 max. The basket is easy to handle and clean. The timer was easy to set and very helpful when kitchen gets busy.My only complaint is the cap doesn't have an option to fully cover the oil. While the ventilation is key for steam/smoke to release if I desire to cover the frying, the issue is the times when it is not used and oil sits in there. The oder from used oil does get around the kitchen and may annoy family members sensitive to it.

Question: What was the problem with the new 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.

Question: Who did I buy the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew for?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

Question: How long has this person had an upright Dyson?

It does what a vacumn should do - it really sucks!! I love that the head is small enough to reach between and under things! I also love the way the attachments clip on, rather than just slip on. They stay on even you get caught on something under the furniture (ever have that little nozzle pull of when it is way under something!? What a pain trying to reach that!) Love the telescoping arm too. It is not too heavy, so it is easy to use on stairs and you hardly even know it is following you when it rolls behind you. I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years, but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture, you would understand. I still love my upright and will continue to use it for main areas, but the cannister is much more versatile. If I had to give up one - it would be the upright, so if you don't have either and cannot decide - the cannister will fill all your needs, whereas the upright is only really good for main areas and open spaces.

Question: What type of beverage does the reviewer enjoy?

I love cold-filtered coffee. But I don't like purchasing a $3 cup every morning. This Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot generates a lovely cup of cold coffee. Yes, it takes A LOT of coffee (I use 22 tablespoons for each batch I make) but coffee that emerges tastes rich and strong, just how I prefer it. I let the coffee brew 24 hours on the countertop and the results are consistent. Clean up is easy too; I just use a strainer and pour the granules into the trash. I use this device every day; yes, it's that good.

Question: When the buyer read reviews, what did they characterize the reviews as?

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.

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 color or product did the person purchase?

With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW, I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it.Very happy with this! It's super soft, very warm, not too heavy, and doesn't slip around. I ordered the "sage" color -- it's a soft almost neutral sage/olive green that works well in a lot of palettes.I've washed it once, and put it through the dryer. It did produce significant amount of "fuzz," but most of it remained in the dryer on the filter, and I haven't noticed much on the bed.I definitely would purchase this again.

Answer: neutral sage/olive green

Question: what is the texture of the wood?

Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down...perfect! At 1st I thought that the rings didn't rotate on the hanger as advertised, but I found that if you grasp a ring and then firmly push it a 1/4 turn, it will stay in that position....or any position between straight up and lying parallel to the floor. The wood is very soft and twisting the ring will cause the hole to widen. I put my scarves on it with the rings turned just slightly for ease of getting them on and off. This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it!

Question: How is the fan being reviewed powered?

I bought this fan a year ago when my elderly dog couldn't handle temperature in the house greater than 75 degrees. Either we ran the A/C all day just for him or we put a fan near his bed. I didn't want to run up my electric bill when it wasn't really that hot so I decided to try a fan. He liked it but whenever he went to a different room in the house I had to unplug and plug the fan each time. That got annoying real quick so I went out to buy a battery powered fan, something grab n' go. Turns out there aren't any except this one, not that I was able to locate. Batteries can be expensive but nothing compared to running the A/C. I put it near his bed and turned it on low. This fan ran for hours every day without a problem. I loved that it was convenient for me and made him comfortable. It got us through the summer and then I packed it away. It's back out again working as well as ever even though our dog is no longer around to enjoy it (he passed away last month at 18 yrs old).Oh, another thing I really like about this fan is that it folds up very narrow, easily slips into tight spaces for storage and is easy to tilt. Love that is has a handle. I wasn't expecting to like this fan more than the Vornado but it's now the one I go to first when the temps heat up.

Question: How long did the coffee maker last?

This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days. Then a small piece that hooks that holds up the piece that fits on top of the filter broke off.I originally still gave this coffee maker 3 stars as it did a nice job until the piece broke off after about a year. If it wouldn't have broke off, I probably would have rated it a 4 star (it takes a lot for me to rate something 5 star). I did mostly like the coffee maker. I ordered the same coffee maker and as I was GENTLY wiping down the machine from the packing materials, the same piece broke off from the new machine. So now I have modified my review to be a 1 star. If you are actually somebody who wipes down your coffee maker (according to the directions), don't expect this machine to last.

Question: What is the model of the can opener?

I ordered this pack and it arrived quickly, less then one week. The items were well packaged in a zip lock bag and enclosed with a bubble wrap envelope. I checked each one and all 10 are stamped US Shelby CO. These are the real deal, U.S. made, P-51 can openers, with a small hole to easily attach to a key chain, lanyard or other carrying device.I was easily able to open a can with it without issue. Note, they do not come with instructions, but it is not hard to figure out how to use them and you can find YouTube video's on it.I highly recommend these they are Awesome!

Question: How often does the author use this product, at a minimum?

Do not waste time and money on any other bread maker!! We make dough in a bread maker at least once or twice a week. Always went with models on sale and they eventually and gradually stop working. This is definitely worth every penny. Easy and well-written directions. Will now venture forth to BAKING in this appliance. So many appliances come with inadequate instructions. The Zojirushi comes with a book of excellent recipes and clear directions. It is the most helpful of any I've seen throughout my life. It encourages the baker to try new methods and new recipes.

Question: How does the toast come out?

The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out. I really like the bun warmer and it has been handy a few times already. Basically the buns just sit on pop up rods over the toaster and the heat from the toaster warms them up. The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly. I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges. This toaster is really big, but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it.

Question: What size fits inside the product?

I've ordered two separate shipments of two boxes each, and all have arrived in perfect, unbroken condition. I used them for my spices, and unlike another reviewer, found they perfectly fit a U.S. standard size spice jar (e.g., McCormick's). The trick is: tap the jar a few times to settle the contents, then you'll have room for the rest of what's in the jar from the grocery store.I labeled the tops of these with clear spice labels (Spice Bottle Labels (set of 84) - Clear (0.5"h x 2"w)) and was able to fit 48 bottles in my drawer. Yes, that's a LOT of spices, but I'm an avid home cook trying to replace sodium with herbs and spices so a wide selection is essential.

Question: What size is the item?

I put this on my very long table over a cloth tablecloth and it fit great and looked great! I can now change my cloth tablecloths to match the seasons and can protect them with this plastic tablecloth. I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124"). It also seems like it will not be ripped up as quickly as some of the more flimsy plastic tablecloths I have had on the table. Nevertheless, I purchased a second tablecloth as a backup. They were reasonable enough.

Question: What brand is the product?

Gosh, I really like the OXO Good Grips Over the Door Stainless Steel Rack...but, our doors won't close. When we hang this on our doors, there's not enough space at the top to close the door. I even applied gentle pressure on the door trying to close it, but it didn't work. Our home was built in the late 50's. This over door rack doesn't work in our daughter's home either. Her home was built in the early 70's. If I use this rack, I will need to leave the door open.This over door rack can be used in a variety of ways. You could hang your purses, camera bags, umbrellas, towels, jackets, jeans, etc. on it. I even use hangers on some of the hooks. Of course the hangers will overlap each other & depending on which hook you use, a hanger can prevent the door from closing.The rack measures 18" long & the hooks hang about 7 1/2" from the top of the door. Silicone surfaces protect the door from scratches, & it is designed with spring arms which flex to fit doors securely & adjust to fit a variety of doors. The stainless steel rack is rustproof & durable.Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Question: What kind of capacity does the product have?

This design has been around since the 1930's and it's still a good one. We have lots of Fiesta, old and new. We use the Fiestaware every day, not the rare older pieces, but the new stuff. This little sugar and creamer on the tray is great for afternoon informal tea (that's when the hostess doesn't wear gloves). The capacity is rather small but just right for a small group. Since we don't have many people who will come to tea (they either don't like tea or us) this is perfect. Dishwasher and microwave safe, all the fiestaware is pretty durable. The little tray can also be used for other things too, canapes, bon bons, or feed two cats sides by side. Available in lots of colors, we have the salmon (that's really pink) set.

Question: Would the author recommend the pan?

I bought this as a gift for my mother, so I can't review how this pan is in use. We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.

Question: what is the reviewer's favorite aspect of the product?

My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars.Recommended!

Question: What color of towels did I buy?

I'd ordered Pike Street towels from Amazon previously and been very pleased by how soft, absorbent, and full they were. However, this batch was entirely different. The price made me doubtful, because it's exceptionally low for the number and size of towels, but you get what you pay for, I guess. These are much less full and fluffy than the others - when you rub the pile, you can definitely see the fabric underneath. Instead of feeling soft, they feel kind of nubby when rubbed. There were several long strings randomly hanging out from the pile. They're acceptable, and I ended up keeping them for emergency use, but "luxurious" isn't a word I would apply here. On the other hand, they are generously sized. I would say that overall, the price justifies what you get. Be aware the Wedgewood color ended up being more of an ocean blue and less grey than I was expecting, at least on my monitor display.

Question: What is the writer's recommendation about the new mug?

I am guilty of checking reviews and depending on them when I look for a product. I wish I would of searched longer before settling on this one. I have a Nike travel mug which i love, but my husband needed one. I looked for the one I bought but I couldn't find it as I purchased it at the outlet and they did not carry them any longer. This mug is a smilers size than what I am used to. The inside is metal so it can't go in microwave. The lid is made strangely and it twists to become looser and thats how you drink it. It makes it awkward to drink as you can't see the liquid first. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Answer: wouldn't recommend

Question: How do Zenith products hold up?

I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use.Pros-heavy duty--looks nice--good for removing bathtub/shower clutter--I have had the product for over a month and have not yet noticed any rust.Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product-

Question: What was positive about this scale?

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

Question: where are the pans made?

Well constructed, heavy, durable...these pans provide even heat across the whole cooking area. The non-stick surface is far superior to those found on most other brands of cookware. Foods slide off with ease. Because of the aluminum construction, it is rarely necessary to turn the heat much over halfway on my electric range. I have to admit, my wife and I usually buy AllClad. At this price point, however, these pans were irresistible. When compared to AllClad, I do not believe we have given up any quality by owning these pans. We've only saved money.Note: For what it's worth, these pans are made in China, unlike the Calphalon Commercial from yesteryear. Guess that's why they are priced so low.

Question: What is important to do prior to removing baked item?

I am a silicone pan convert. I still love my metal pans and continue to buy them like mad, but I'm no longer afraid of the silicone.These are individual muffin or cupcake pans, about the same size as one cavity in a standard 12-cup metal muffin pan. They have lovely large and deep scalloped sides which make the cupcakes or muffins look delightful when popped out of the baking pan. These are cute served with either end up. If you're glazing or serving with a sauce, the smaller end up (bottom) looks great, and if you're frosting them with swirls of fluffy frosting, then serve them in the more traditional manner.I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. They will be too tender and soft to come out in one piece if you try to remove them while they are still hot.Brush with melted butter or spritz with non-stick spray for the first use, and it won't be necessary after that. I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. They stack nicely and don't take up much space. I probably need a second set!

It was all I could do to not have another!As far as the Ice Pop Makers themselves, they worked beautifully, no leaking, easy to clean,and just the right size....unless you're having margarita pops...then you might want two.Just sayin.

Question: What is great with Prime?

I love my Le Parfait jars. It's now been almost 15 years that I purchased my first two (a 2 and a 3 litre that I store sugar and flour in) and I was looking for slightly smaller decorative jars to store some coffee and powdered cocoa in. These fit the bill perfectly. They're decorative for the counter. Easy to use on a daily basis. And if you live in an old house and just cannot get rid of those pantry moths no matter what you try - these are impervious to the moths finding a way in (thus the successful storage of the flour and sugar). Totally worth the investment and with Prime, the free shipping is great!

Question: How many sets of these potholders does this person have?

I absolutely love these potholders!!!! I have four sets of them. They are great as potholders but they also have other uses. I place them under cutting boards to keep them from sliding on the counter when I am chopping. I also use them to keep bowls firmly on the counter if I am whipping cream. I also use them as trivets when placing hot pans on my counter top.My only caution regarding this product is that you need to be aware of the location of the hole in one corner of the potholder. I didn't pay attention one day and got a nasty burn pulling a very hot pan out of the oven. If you are a bit of a klutz, like me, best to keep 100% aloe in the house just in case you do what I did. Repeated applications of aloe took the burn out of the fingertip in a few hours. I was very fortunate. I hope this doesn't happen to you.I highly recommend this product.

Question: How long can this product keep wine chilled?

I had never heard of such a product until I found this by accident recently. My friends and I love to hang out by, and in, her little pool in the summer. I can't stand warm Chardonnay, blech, so I got this for us to try. When I first received it, and after it had been in the freezer for a few hours as instructed, I couldn't wait to try it so stuck it in the first thing I had handy, my warm little energy drink. It chilled it almost instantly! But , that is not how it is supposed to be used, and it works even better for it's intended use: keeping chilled wine chilled. And for that, it works perfectly! This weekend my Chardonnay stayed refreshingly cold for well over the hour it took us to finish it. The attached aerator is a most appreciated bonus. Chiller and aerator all in one. GREAT wine lover Host/Hostess gift! I love it and so glad it was invented -- sure beats a bucket of melted ice!

Question: What brand can do I have for another location?

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

Question: what does this memo center have that helps it easily adhere to a surface?

I had been looking for a magnetic note pad center for quite some time and I just couldn't find one that I really liked. Then I came across the Forma Memo Center and I really liked what I saw. It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator. So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup. I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. They have a great weight to them and the magnetic backing is more than capable of holding it in place. They also look very nice, much better than I expected them to look. While it looks nice in the picture, it definitely looks much better in person. We have a stainless steel refrigerator so the memo center and pencil cup just blend right in. If your looking for a stainless steel magnetic memo center then you should definitely give this one a look.5 stars!

I had been looking for a magnetic note pad center for quite some time and I just couldn't find one that I really liked. Then I came across the Forma Memo Center and I really liked what I saw. It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator. So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup. I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. They have a great weight to them and the <hl> magnetic backing <hl> is more than capable of holding it in place. They also look very nice, much better than I expected them to look.
