Question: What is one of the issues of the new coffeemaker?

I drink several cups of coffee per day and have been using a 4 cup Mr. Coffee which performs satisfactorily. This new coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee. If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer. I found that making a half pot or more results in hotter coffee. The coffee maker looks great and I appreciate the simple design that makes it easy to clean the tank, the filter holder and the glass carafe. The grey color looks nice and has a matte finish. Unlike my shiny black Mr. Coffee, this unit does not show finger prints and is easier to wipe clean. Other commentors have covered everything you can say. I have no problem with the carafe but I do remove the coffee filter unit before pouring. To me this is only logical.I paid $59.99 through [...] This site had the lowest price and delivered it in a week or so but were very poor in answering calls or emails. Compared to other small coffee makers this is expensive and has fewer features such as a clock or automatic "turn-on" at a set time. This does not bother me since it only takes about 4 minutes to brew and every other appliance seems to have a clock anyway. When I would set my Mr. Coffee to come on at 6AM it seems I didn't get up until 6:20 and the coffee was already burnt! I stopped using that feature. For me the biggest, though very minor, inconvenience is that you can't pour coffee until the brewing cycle is complete.

Question: What are the edges of the blade described as being?

This is the "best buy" blender recommended by Cook's Illustrated. They marked it down for not making perfectly smooth smoothies, and for taking a long-ish time to work. So far I have only used this blender to make smoothies, and there are often a few little chunks. Just something to be aware of if you're very particular about your smoothies.As other reviewers noted, the gasket for the blade is a clear/whitish color and could easily be lost.The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too. Just be careful.If these problems don't bother you, this is really a great deal for a blender. I expect to get many smoothies out of it, and am pleased overall with this product.

Question: What shape does the product have to protect the user's fingers from the glass?

I'm a tea drinker, and I've been using this French press on a near-daily basis since I got it. (I'll save it for coffee for when I have visitors.) The press itself is very nice-looking. The carafe has a Pyrex feel, and it's surrounded in places by plastic to protect your hands from heat. With the exception of the flimsy plastic lid, the plunger is made of stainless parts, and it glides easily down the carafe. My tea tastes fantastic when brewed in this French press.The only thing I don't care for is the awkward feel of the handle. I assume it's curved like that to protect the user's fingers from the glass, but the result is that the carafe becomes top heavy. Maybe if the handle was a bit lower, it would not have that problem. A minor issue, to be sure, because otherwise I love this French press.Note: I received a sample of the product in exchange for an honest review.

Question: The author knew what was going to be tight when going off to college?

When I went off on a college internship, I knew space was going to be tight. This hamper is very durable and great for taking your items to the laundry and then toting them back to your apartment. The Pocket on the side is great for keeping all your detergents at hand especially if there are doors you have to open or even 3 flights of stairs in my case; great to have at least one hand free when walking. The best part of this hamper is the flexibility of it. If you don't need it you can fold it flat, and even twist and fold it up to just about the size of your hand. Even now back at home, I still love using this hamper for toting my cloths to the washer and dryer. This hamper beats a traditional cloths basket any day, hands down.

Question: What does it not do?

This is one dandy can opener. After dealing with a couple of Chinese imports, I found this opener, bought it in a flash -- and the first time I used it, I remembered what a good hand can opener is. I had nearly forgotten. This opener CUTS through the metal easily and smoothly. It CUTS all the way around the can. It does not leave uncut areas, jagged edges, or little whiskers of metal that could fall into the food. It does not strain even my somewhat arthritic hands. In short, it does the job it's supposed to do, and does it easily and smoothly. All Hail a Decent, Made-in-the-USA Can Opener! I'm going to give them as Christmas presents to a couple of people. Seriously.

Question: what was backed by experts?

This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. Though coffee will stay hot in it for hours, acting as a small carafe, you cannot succesfully mobilize it - for the lid drips out coffee. The lid is not deep,even slanted - so coffee easily spews out of it. If they changed the lid, to put a closure which at least snaps into place, it would be useful as a mobile coffee tumbler. The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. Ironically, if it tumbles, coffee spills out and ruins anything nearby. The price is too high for what it really does, since you have to leave it in the office or at home.

Question: what did the writer make secondly?

As soon as the frother arrived, I opened it up, pulled the tab to connect the batteries, washed as instructed, and made some cold chocolate milk. After adding syrup to the milk, and using the frother, I chugged down the glass like there was no tomorrow. Probably one of the most delicious glasses I have ever had!Then the next day, I made some white chocolate cocoa. I have a huge plastic mug, so before I put the cocoa in it, I warmed up the milk in a Pyrex measuring cup with the cocoa and after removing from the microwave, frothed the bejeezus outta that cocoa!Since Dunkin' Donuts doesn't sell this delicious concoction anymore, I tried getting as close to it as possible, and the frother is the key!After holding the mug in one hand on my twenty minute commute to work the whole time sipping this decadent beverage, I came back out the car two hours later, to find out that there was foamy, frothy goodness still in the mug!Okay, so I would have given this five stars, but the idea that I can't immerse it in water kind of irks me. I find it a little bit tedious to try to clean it. It feels solid however, so hopefully it will last a long time!

Question: Is it silent?

I have purchased just about every cordless vacuum out there including a pricey ($99) cordless that never came close to the manufacturer's claims. After numerous disappointments I finally found the (almost) perfect cordless vacuum.I have seven cats and a combination of hardwood and carpeting in my home and this is the first cordless that I have found to pick up both cat hair on the carpet and on bare floors. It is surprisingly powerful for a cordless and once fully charged seems to last quite a long time until it needs recharging.I only have a few minor complaints being that it is a bit heavier and noisier than other cordless vacuums and the head is somewhat floppy. Considering how well it picks up and how long the charge lasts, the good far outweigh the bad.If you have animals and don't want to be hauling out the big vacuum everyday, this is an excellent choice to consider.

Question: What type of timer does it have?

I'm happy with this little toaster oven. It can hold four slices of toast if they're jammed together, so it's not huge, but I'm happy with the size. With the screen on the middle rack, it toasts bread and bagels perfectly. I use it mostly for toast and a little bit of broiling, and it works great!The only thing I'm taking a point off for is the timer. It has an old-fashioned, mechanical ticking timer, which works fine now but I'm worried about the longevity of it. I've had a few of those old kitchen egg-timers that slowed down considerably after some use, and I think this may be the same type of mechanism. However, the oven was cheap enough that I think it makes up for this one flaw. I would buy this oven again.

Question: What kind of corn did this person pop?

I haven't used an air popper in decades, and always liked the fact that they popped corn really well. I decided to try this and see if they were still as good.This works well. It popped great corn (organic, in my case) right out of the box (well, after cleaning, of course). It is a little tricky catching all the corn, and it takes some time to get used to how it pops and how long it takes.I have not used the built-in butter melter thingie, as I learned a long time ago that doing that makes a mess of the popper and requires a lot more clean up. I am still searching for the best way to apply melted butter (organic, again), and will be trying some grass-fed butter oil or ghee.I like it.

Question: what is the price the pan?

it is smaller than my pyrex 13x9 glass pan, but i love this white porcelain pan, i love the handles and the fact that it can be used for more than lasagna. love it for enchiladas, roasting meat, chicken and/or vegetables. haven't tried baking a cake in it, but bet it would do the job very well. it would probably be great for baked mac and cheese or any casserole. it is a top quality product and i'm glad i bought it. nothing has stained it. haven't had any problems cleaning it and i haven't had any problem with food sticking. i also like that it can go from oven to table....a good looking serving piece as well. what more could i ask of a pan that is so versatile and at a reasonable price?

Question: How much liquid can the product hold?

This may seem silly, but I actually said, "WOW!" when I opened the box and saw this baster. (The baster I had been using must be about 25 years old, so I guess I never realized what I was missing.) It's big. Very big. And instead of a bulb top that only half-works, this has a bellows that you press. Which means it can draw up a precise amount of liquid (up to 3 oz.) and keep it there with no drips until you want to release it. Perfect.The only possible negative is its size makes it hard to store in a utensil drawer.

Answer: 3 oz.

Question: What absorbs the downward pressure on the egg?

Fold a paper towel into thirds.Pulled the egg from the water, drain.Place folded paper towel in left hand, lay in egg, small end up. Lightly close fist with end of egg peeking out of your fist.The towel insulates your hand from heat and cradles egg; end of egg is vertical. Put topper on upper end of egg and lightly encircle base of topper with thumb and forefinger.Tip: Don't let the bottom of the egg rest on your little finger, the little finger should also encircle the egg. The downward pressure from the Topper should be gently absorbed by the paper towel and light fingers pressure.Pull and release topper twice. Often, the egg can be carried by the topper to the egg cup then coaxed off the topper.You still may have to use the tip of an upside down spoon to life the cap.Lastly, I have tried pricking eggs with the gadget. Pricking eggs or not, I see no gain to pricking. If you do, the only difference I saw was a bit of egg white that oozed out.EZ!

Question: how does the water taste?

We live in the so called "boonies" and have well water. I have installed water filters for drinking under our sink in our fridge etc....they just dont cut it. The water tastes strange....so I wanted to try something to let us get great tasting water and help the environment by not buying water bottles.....Brita is the answer.This jug has a sensor on top that will remind you to change the filter. That is one of the best features....another thing I dont have to worry about or remember until its time. The water tastes perfect to me in our home now and I have no hesitation in recommending this item.

Question: Which brand of item was bought?

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

Question: What does it do a great job at?

I bought this product a while ago! However, I just want to let people know, I really like it. I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption. Thank you, Youtube! Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great. In an emergency situation, like if there was flooding and possible viral water contamination, I might still boil the water to kill anything that miraculously slipped through the small pores of this candle, but otherwise, I would drink it straight after the filter. It takes out ALL sediment, so you will not be drinking any floaties. If the water was really dirty, I would pre-filter it through sand or cloth first before running it through this though. It is a fine filter, and would clog if challenged with too much debris.This filter required patience. Water doesn't pour through ceramic. However, that's why it works so well.Hint: I purchased two of these, and one was filtering water at a much slower rate that the other. So, I dried it out completely, sanded it down gently, and rinsed/wiped it down before reinstalling it. Worked so much better! I think that this process would be good as maintenance if the filter was used regularly.

Question: What is important?

Have you tried using a ricer for mashed potatoes? If not, you're missing out!Here's how you do it;Place the potatoes (I use Yukon Gold) in well salted water with their jackets still on. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife is easliy inserted into each potato. (They have to be soft of they won't go through the ricer.)Drain the hot water and remove the skins with your hands using paper towels as a "mitt". (The skins will slip off really easily, but Potatoes are HOT, be careful!)Place hot potato in ricer and push through. FOLD IN butter, cheese, chives, sour cream, whatever you like. The key is not to over mix because then the potatoes become gluey and heavy. Thats it, super simple and everyone will love them!

Question: What is it made out of

I got this beautiful wine rack to store both wine for my wife and corked beers for me. The large rack holds a huge number of bottles that allows us to store up to 56 of our favorites at any one time. The wood is beautiful and eye catching. The style is simple, but modern. It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. The rack is of solid build and seems to be something that will last for several decades. I'm not worried at all about filling it up, the rack is heavy duty enough to be able to hold all 56 bottles it's designed to hold. If you're looking for a good sized wine rack that is functional and beautiful then look no further than this gem.

Answer: wood

Question: How long did they own it before it started having issues?

This vacuum is lightweight and pulls up lots of dust and fuzz. The design is awkward to clean, though, requiring you to stick your fingers into the dust compartment to pull out the clumps, rather than letting them fall into the garbage can. About six weeks after I had it while vacuuming the house, the machine would no longer turn on. There was no overheated smell beforehand or any other indication of malfunction.The 30 days are past Amazon's warranty and although Eureka has a 1-year warranty, I have to drive 15 miles to the nearest service center. Multiply that by 4 for 60 miles and probably close to 2 hours of my time, it's not worth the $80 I spent on this vacuum.Eureka, please work on your reliability.

Question: How many cups does the reservoir hold?

The office where I work has a "coffee club" which means for a set monthly price you get generic watered down coffee. Nope, that is not going to work. So in a workers revolt, a Keurig B60 Special Edition was purchased.To say that I love this machine is an understatement. Easy setup, ease of use, automatic shut off which make the safety team happy, 48-ounce removable water reservoir holds up to eight cups of water which is no problem because the "water club" and filtered water is literally two steps away. It is true, we seem to have a "club" for everything.The three size options work perfectly for our group. This way you can have the coffee as strong (or weak) as you would like. No more arguing over who used too many grounds and who will now be up all night because decaf is not an option. Really, you would think grown adults could learn to compromise.Finally, one less thing to complain about and now our conversations can move onto the more important things like - pens. No really, it is amazing how fussy people can be about writing instruments.Huh, maybe decaf would be a better option.

Question: Besides the color, what else did they not like?

I like how solid this seems along with the ease of puttng it together. However, before I purchased I magnified the picture to be sure that the cherry was a good match for my room. Upon actually receiving it, however,the product appeared darker. I have realized how many products are photographed with an extra amount of surrounding light to boost the visibility of detail; however, in doing so, some products like these I've ordered are inaccurately represesented in pictures. So live and learn. The other aspect of the item I didn't care for was the width- it seems just a bit too wide for the proportions of depth.

Question: What is this good for?

Other reviewers have already said it, and I'll support all the comments ... this pot is great for homebrewing! It is heavy duty but not heavy (an advantage of aluminum). Having brewed in it a couple of times, it has already begun to develop a patina that will serve to protect the pot in much the same way as seasoning a cast iron skillet. Sure, I'd rather have a stainless steel pot, but a similar quality SS pot would cost several times as much. I don't subscribe to the theory that aluminum pots in home brewing causes Alzheimer's disease, but I keep forgetting why. I just use my Winware pot and never look back. I wish it fit in my sink for easier cleaning, but it's about an inch too wide to fit inside either side of my two bowl sink. Not a big deal for me though.

Question: Which part of the tumbler is easy to clean?

So far, so good. The Contigo Tumbler keeps my coffee hot for hours, never drips, and seems quite rugged. The only drawback that I've seen so far (and this goes for most travel mugs) is the difficulty in cleaning it. The main mug is easy, but the top, with all of the mechanical elements, proves to be a little difficult and still retains a bit of a coffee aroma after cleaning.update: after using this for a couple of months, I've found the cleaning to still be difficult, however, the best remedy seems to be to fill 1/3 of the mug with hot water and rigorously shake it upside down in order to losen any remaining residue. Seems to work well, with an occasional addition of soap and excessive rinsing.

Question: What don't you need this item for?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: The reviewer would have rated the product a 5, but unfortunately it was what when it arrived?

If not for the damage, I would have rated this 5 stars.I did not even look at the assembly directions - it is that simple. But, mine was damaged so I did not just accept that. I called Amazon and I suggest anyone else do the same.How a manufacturer can carefully wrap each piece of this unit in nice white paper taped closed and not notice several gouges and spots where paint is chipped out and showing white is beyond me. Out of the 11 main pieces (2 sides, 5 shelves, 4 back bars) 2 shelves and the 2 sides were gouged or chipped in areas that are highly visible when assembled. Amazon was the seller on this, and thankfully worked it out so that I did not have to repackage, return and try to find yet another shelf unit for the space between 2 bath vanities. I got enough credit back to purchase a good repair pen + a little extra and that was OK with me.Otherwise, I can say the following: great color, sturdy, EZ to assemble. The assembly instructions are just drawings, no verbage, but it is very basic to see how to do it - several very nice long screws, some button screw covers and the wood pieces. Also, the shelf pieces have a definite top and bottom and that helps.The materials (noted as wood/composite wood) do not have a plastic/chemical odor or appearance. The pieces have a slight wood+stain odor that is not bad at all. I really appreciated that the wood grain is all going the same direction on each of the shelf pieces. Also included is a form to fax in for any missing or damaged parts to be replaced by the manufacturer. (In my case I wanted Amazon to know how badly the manufacturer did, since Amazon is buying and selling their products.)

Question: What does the steamer always do?

I bought this to complement my Keurig and it is awesome! I love that it has 3 temperature options, that it gives you the option of warm milk without the foam, and that you can walk away from it while it's doing its thing. I just pour milk in, turn it on, start the Keurig, and walk away for a couple of minutes and bam! It's so easy to use and easy to clean. It's like having an espresso machine without having to deal with the milk steamer, which I've never had much luck with no matter how diligent I was trying to maintain them. The steamer always got clogged or stopped working. Anyway, I absolutely love this frother!

Question: What has a user broken off the knife?

Yes, it's a little flimsy, but on the whole it's been working great for us, after several months of daily use. With the benefit of the other reviews (thanks!), I knew to order the longer bread knife, and despite its shaky appearance it has been holding up very well. I love the removable crumb catcher! And for us, the slices are even and the size is fine. We purchased this to replace an old plastic model on uneven raised legs and are much happier with this design. Although it's rather long, the low profile actually makes it easier to use and less of a storage problem than our previous slicer. I'd call it a good buy.Update, about a year later: The enthusiastic slicer in our family has managed to knock off one of the plastic strips, but that's easy enough to work around so doesn't create a problem. Most of the wood strips have become detached though, so something needs to be done. My handy husband wants to reattach them with tiny nails, but my solution is just to buy another one. Well over a year's worth of solid performance doesn't seem unreasonable for $15, so although we'd be happier if it were more durable, we like the way it works otherwise and I don't see any better options so am about to just order one more.

Question: Due to the construction of the dabba, how long is it expected to be usuable?

This dabba is just what I was hoping for. The stainless steel cups (7) fit perfectly in the larger container, and the lid fits tightly even with the spoons (7) in the individual cups. The clear lid is nice because the spices look so pretty inside of it. The dabba feels well-made. It is sturdy and has a little weight to it. I think it will last me a very long time.

Answer: a very long time.

Question: What color is the dresser?

In the photos, this dresser looks great. Sleek black color, and looks to be high quality construction. I expected to get at least Ikea furniture quality, but overall, I would say Ikea furniture would be slightly better quality than this dresser. If you want solid wood construction, this probably isn't the dresser for you. While it is made of wood, I had 1 piece of wood shatter on me when I was putting a screw into a pre-drilled hole on the dresser. The wood just cracked when the screw started going into the pre-drilled slot for it.The replacement piece took about 3 weeks to get to me but thankfully, unlike other reviewers I got the correct piece the first time. Also of note, the sliders are all made of plastic. I am unsure how this will affect the durability and life-span of this drawer, but I would've preferred metal sliders for the price. Putting the dresser together can be confusing because some parts of the instructions aren't clear. Aside from that, the biggest annoyance, when you pull out the dresser, you lose about 1/3 of the space because that part of the dresser does not pull out and stays inside due to the design of the sliders. This bothers me to no end as finding clothing I stuffed into the back of the drawer is difficult. I have noticed some higher priced dressers at Ikea do not suffer from this problem.Overall, you get a sleek black dresser that takes about 40 minutes for the layman to put together. Outside the major annoyance with how much space won't be visible this dresser is a decent value.

Question: What did the reviewer wish for?

I love sushi, I will go even further and say that any food that you can turn into tube form is my cup of tea.I do , however, not carry the skills (yet) to wrap my own sushi in a tight, perfect manner. My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results. Rice everywhere, halfway unrolled rolls spilling out innards like a cornucopia, rolls that were seemingly stable and then cut unraveling in unappealing ways.It is so much cheaper to make your own sushi at home, but because I have not yet perfected my technique. This device makes my lack of practice a non issue!The Leifheit Perfect Roll maker is a cheat, and perhaps goes against my usual attitude of "try and try again" but for sushi-sake I need it!The one I chose is the black one, small and with several pieces. I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German, which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway. I had no problem figuring out how to use this simple kitchen device. The recipes are also in German, but cmon you can Google any recipe in seconds and it will do just fine. It doesnt make long sushi rolls, instead it makes short squatty ones. It is easy to set up and clean and put away.I still wish to learn the art of rolling sushi, but until then I will follow the Germans and Leifheit my way to yummy.

Question: Which area is cleaned with compressed air in the new vacuum?

We replaced our old Hoover after years of service. Having a large dog takes a toll on vacuums in terms of nasty odors over time. I prefer bag less vacuums so my wife has no excuse not to clean such as out of bags (just kidding). The suction seems pretty good, it is much lighter weight than our old unit. It is not a rainbow or some other miracle vacuum that costs 10 times the price, so keeping that in mind it works well. If you need a $2000 vacuum to clean your floors I would suggest more frequent cleanings, or calling a therapist. I clean mine occasionally out side with compressed air to get all the dog stink out of the filter housings. Be sure to clean all of the filters a few times per year.

Question: What has Roomba taught?

We are in love with our Roomba. The Roomba does as is promised. Much like all of the reviews we read before purchasing, we experience that the robot takes its own path appearing erratic; however, it cleans the entire floor. For large rooms (like our open floor plan living / dining kitchen) you should definitely use the included virtual wall. It works well. The first 3-4 times we used it, we just watched in awe as the Roomba cleaned our floor. You should definitely clean the brushes once a week or so, but that's an easy task compared to sweeping entire rooms. Roomba will also easily encourage you to keep your rooms tidy. it's much easier to concentrate on keeping big items off the floor than sweeping the entire floor daily. Roomba has taught us tidier habits and has keep our hardwoods grime free. We have several friends who have their Roombas on order!

Question: What is the occupancy status of the writer?

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

Question: what is the max time you can set for cooking items on the product?

This is a versatile steamer compared to others I've used before. The dual steamer basket allows for you to cook for just one, or a whole family. You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom. The innovative design allows the extra cooking capacity to break down for storage by allowing the bowls to fit inside each other and stack upside down on the unit so it takes up little more space than the base unit.The digital controls are a change over other units I've used which had an old style mechanical kitchen timer. The controls are easy to set and allow for more precise setting so dishes can be cooked the same every time you cook them. The max time that can be set at one time is 60 minutes, but as most things are cooked in half that time.The cons are that the unit can't be refilled while cooking and the overall construction and materials are not as good as others I've tried in the past. Full MSRP is a bit high, but if you can find this unit on sale, I'd definitely consider it.
