Question: Cleaning, this pasta maker is what?

This pasta maker is really easy to use. Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. Once thin enough, throw on your pasta attachment to select the type of pasta you want- either spaghetti or fettuccine and feed the dough through using the hand crank- and presto! you have fresh pasta. It's really that easy to use.Cleaning is pretty easy as well. Simply rub off any excess flour using a damp cloth and take a damp paper towel and feed it through each of the dough and pasta attachments using the hand crack. I highly recommend this for anyone considering making pasta.

Question: What problems for the author have gone away since purchasing the fan?

I have used the big, round Honeywell purifiers for many years. This purifier looks so much nicer in my home & has such a small footprint. Comparing the two purifiers, the low, wide, round purifier & this tower, this is a lot quieter, easier & cheaper to keep the filters clean, & is a great fan. Using it as a fan is only a side benefit & not the reason I bought it. I only use it as a fan after taking a shower by moving it to the bathroom door & pointing it toward the shower to quickly dry it. You can easily choose to have it oscillate or remain stationary. Also there are 3 speeds. I keep it stationary & on high. As far as air quality, it is at least as good, but I think it is doing a better job. I can't be sure my body is not handling airborne contaminants better or that the air quality outside is not better, but when we have a burn pile outside, I have gotten quite sick before. Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside.

Question: What process is made more comfortable by the design of the Tea Bag Buddy?

The Primula Double Wall Glass Mug with Tea Bag Buddy is such a simple idea that it's one of those you're surprised isn't commonplace these days. The lightweight, double-walled borosilicate glass mug keeps your tea warm, while the included tea bag buddy makes squeezing the bag much less uncomfortable (no more burning fingers) and gives you a place to put it for the time being. It makes a great gift to regular tea drinkers, and while I'm not about to say that it necessarily makes for a better cup of tea, it can make for a more convenient one.

Question: What was done to help fight the dust?

My bedroom is very dusty for some reason. I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter. But I didn't want some monstrous thing sitting in the middle of the room. This was an ideal solution. It fits on my nightstand perfectly and I run in 24/7. It's not super quiet, but the white noise is actually a bit soothing. It did take a few days for me to get used to it. The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. After a month or so I took a look at the filter - it was covered in dust - but I simply vacuumed it clean and it seems good as new. Great benefit in my opinion. I hate constantly buying and replacing filters. No need here. Nice, tabletop unit.

Question: How many minutes did it take to put together?

I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. I was able to assemble this in less then 5 minutes, and only needed one screwdriver for the one screw. The vacuum sucks up hair, dirt, fuzz and bird seed from my parrot with ease, and I love the auto cord feature- that is a blessing! The canister empties easy as well.I have read reviews about this, and there seems to be a flaw with the belt, but I have been using it for 2 weeks now daily, and so far working perfect. As always if my opioion or any issues come up I will update this review, but so far super happy with this vacuum... A good Vacuum is a must, especially with pets and allergies :)* Update Sept 17th, 2011 * Its been a couple months since I received and my vacuum is still running great! I use daily to clean up after my dogs, cats and parrot.. It picks up hair, dirt ( on my tile floors ) and bird seed. No issues with belt, or any issues period! Very Very happy with this vacuum-

Question: What kind of cleaver is the reviewer writing about?

Bought it primarily for use breaking down rabbits. I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo. It is a very heavy cleaver that appears to hold a great edge. The blade image is a bit misrepresented, it's carbon steel - so it will get dark. You can shine it up with steelwool if ya want it shiny. The carbon steel will hold a great edge and can easily be sharped. I'm not sure how I got by this long without one in my kitchen.

Question: What has the daughter tried?

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 many stars did they originally give?

EDIT: I will leave my original review below for historical purposes, but I should amend it to more accurately reflect the product. I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars.Make sure you read the instructions carefully. You have to press firmly on the center to push out all the air and then they do stick a lot better. They have an extra sticky bit around the rim of each cup which also helps them stick, but it can make it a real pain to pull them off the window and it tends to leave behind a sticky residue. The instructions list some recommendations about cleaning this residue off.=====Original review below=====I purchased these to hang some Christmas lights from the insides of my windows. The lights weigh about 15 to 16 ounces and I used them in 2 windows from 4 to 5 feet in length. I was using 3 suction cups.In short, they lasted less than 5 minutes before they fell down. I tried multiple times to get them to stay up with no success.

Question: What country is the knife from?

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

Question: What was the main reason they wanted so badly to try and help others?

I read the reviews, but being the stubborn person that I am, I still counted on the Cusinart reputation to come through and prove the reviews wrong..Now I sit, as we speak, with the leakiest travel coffee mug I have ever purchased. And this, I might add is my first use, after a light handwashing to make sure the cup was clean before I drank from it.I recommend a definite NO, DO NOT BUY... Spend 5 dollars more and purchase a worthy product.P.s. This is the first time I have EVER reviewed a product on Amazon, but I felt compelled to try and prevent others from making my mistake.

Question: What color did the reviewer buy?

I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. So I bought him this (and so I could secretly use it because stale pepper is a pet peeve of mine) Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. Cute, but I think next time I will spring for the pricier one and hope it works better.

Question: What helped them quit?

I was skeptical with this purchase, but it really turned out to be everything I was hoping for.About me.... I was severely addicted to soda. I've been drinking 3-4 cans of soda a day for the past 12 years. I've tried quitting soda over 15+ times. Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer, I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. This teapot has helped me create new habits.Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces. When I got it in the mail, I was shocked by how small it looked. But really, who needs that much tea in one sitting? Another downside it that it didn't seem packaged very well. Amazon did its part, but the actual teapot box was punched through by the cast iron spout. Teapot was fine though.Why this teapot is great:It stays warmLooks stylish, authentic, and snazzyFeels heavy and sturdySeems to be made wellThe basket is easy to cleanThe teapot stays warm for a while, however, I suggest buying a cast iron teapot warmer so you can have warm tea constantly. They need tealight candles, but you can buy them over amazon or go to ikea and buy hundreds of them for less than 10 dollars.At the price of 20-25 dollars, this teapot is so worth it.

Question: What other vacuums does the reviewer own?

Ok enough with the puns. I have an older hoover upright animal and a dyson animal. Did I mention I have animals? Comparing these 3 products is not really equal. The Dyson is over 5 yrs old and the other hoover is over 1yr old. That being said the Dyson still performs as well as the newer hoovers. As far as this model I am really impressed with it. It does clean the carpets really well. I did the 2 pass test with this and the older hoover. I vacuumed a room with the previous model, then went back over it with this one. I got almost 2x as much dirt in the canister as with the previous hoover and this was me vacuuming the room in sequential fashion.Pros:+ very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessoriesCons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value.Thanks for reading my review.

I have an older <hl> hoover upright animal and a dyson animal <hl> .


Question: what do they use to clean it?

I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

Question: How does the reviewer feel about buying this mattress?

I'm glad I bought this mattress. I did it so I would have more bed space for other people when they visit. It fills up fast with the built in pump and lasts all night. I think it does need to be refilled before each use but it doesn't deflate much during the night. (The air latch needs to be properly secured otherwise it will deflate.) Comfort-wise, I would say it's about 7 out of 10. But, it's an airbed so that is sort of to be expected. Size-wise, it's nice and big and fits two adults comfortably.

Question: What settings does the author keep the fan on?

Answer: stationary & on high

I keep it stationary & on high .

I have used the big, round Honeywell purifiers for many years. This purifier looks so much nicer in my home & has such a small footprint. Comparing the two purifiers, the low, wide, round purifier & this tower, this is a lot quieter, easier & cheaper to keep the filters clean, & is a great fan. Using it as a fan is only a side benefit & not the reason I bought it. I only use it as a fan after taking a shower by moving it to the bathroom door & pointing it toward the shower to quickly dry it. You can easily choose to have it oscillate or remain stationary. Also there are 3 speeds. <hl> I keep it stationary & on high . <hl> As far as air quality, it is at least as good, but I think it is doing a better job. I can't be sure my body is not handling airborne contaminants better or that the air quality outside is not better, but when we have a burn pile outside, I have gotten quite sick before. Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside.

Question: How much does their lights weigh?

Answer: 15 to 16 ounces

EDIT: I will leave my original review below for historical purposes, but I should amend it to more accurately reflect the product. I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars. Make sure you read the instructions carefully. You have to press firmly on the center to push out all the air and then they do stick a lot better. They have an extra sticky bit around the rim of each cup which also helps them stick, but it can make it a real pain to pull them off the window and it tends to leave behind a sticky residue. The instructions list some recommendations about cleaning this residue off.=====Original review below=====I purchased these to hang some Christmas lights from the insides of my windows. <hl> The lights weigh about 15 to 16 ounces and I used them in 2 windows from 4 to 5 feet in length. <hl> I was using 3 suction cups. In short, they lasted less than 5 minutes before they fell down. I tried multiple times to get them to stay up with no success.

Question: What kind of cup is this product?

I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep and it's a nuisance using a regular measuring cup. Knowing this was made by Oxo, I assumed everything about it would be "user friendly".The concept of the angle, and being able to see where the water is, really does work. And the handle is very comfortable to hold, but, when it comes to wanting to get 2/3 of a cup of water, the numbers are relatively small and thin and not that easy to read. The major measurements such as 1 cup is larger and thicker but the smaller ones, in red, disappoint.

Question: Does the bag function as required?

The storage bag I got is different from the picture. It's a mesh see-through material, where in the picture it doesn't look like it would be see-through. It still does what it's supposed to, so no complaints. I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet.

Question: Who tends to overfill the bags?

Cannot say enough about these bags. We've been using them for a three months now and they are AWESOME!--The handels are strong and hold tough even when they are packed heavy.--The plastic inserts show zero signs of cracking or wearing out.--The vibrant colors are fun and help remind me to grab them from the back seat of my car (where they "live")--They ARE washable! We put one through the wash with all the other clothes and it came out in one peice! My husband thew it in the dryer (to my horror) but it came out just fine! A little wrinkled, but nothing an iron couldn't fix. In the future I will def be air drying them to maintain their crisp shape.The only con is that grocery store baggers tend to pack them TOO FULL! I have to remind them, "please pack the bags 1/2 full" or they are just too heavy and I have to worry about things getting crushed. However, when it comes to camping and going to the beach they are perfect for snacks, clothes, extra towels, garbage can, or whatever! We do not travel without one or two in the car anymore!

Question: Which product would take too long to grind with this product?

i have to say that I am not in love with these spice grinders. I have flax seed in one and course salt in the other. In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top. its very slippery and almost impossible to turn. the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar. what really is disappointing is the fact that the salt falls out in one very small area.....so i get a big sprinkling of a large amount of salt on just a small portion of the plate. no matter how fast i move the grinder, it still ends up in one small pile, which is way to much salt.it takes FOREVER to grind flaxseed in these! i will return these....and stick with the old fashion cheapie wooden pepper mill.

Question: What type of pie was cooked?

I received this just prior to Thanksgiving this year so it was put into immediate use as I carried a home=made pumpkin pie to my neighbor's place on the mountain.I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. It does come with a 9 inch plate, but my 10 inch plates fit in perfectly.What a relief to not have to worry about the pie sliding off the car seat as I make my way up and down this twisting, turning, pot holed dirt road!

Question: What works just as well as thing product?

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

Question: What color is the item?

$20 for a dish drain is hefty no question; I mean even dollar stores sell plain dish drains. But if you, like me, have exclusively used dish drains (i.e., no dishwasher) for a long time, you'll likely appreciate the virtues of this one. It is SO nice having the water contained and not slopping all over the counter, under the drainer, etc. That alone goes a ways to offset the high price. The color red is awesome and matches nicely with other bright red accents in our kitchen. It doesn't take up much space on the counter either, although I did need to stick a piece of wood behind it, between it and the wall I mean, otherwise it sat too far back to drain properly into the sink. The Umbra Tub holds a lot, and it's awfully nice to be able to put dishes every which way. One thing, it does get kind of slimy-feeling inside so it requires regular washing but that's really no trouble. I typically use dish soap and a dish scrubber and then hose it down with the sprayer. Now and again I mix in white vinegar to really sanitize it.EDIT Oct 2013: I've had this drainer over 6 months and if I could I'd probably give it 3.5 stars because it's gotten "slimier" over time. I think that's a result of the inherent nature of plastic (as opposed to glass which doesn't ickier over time -while almost all plastic items seem to no matter how often they're cleaned.). Both the utensil cubbies and the bases of the little posts in the drain bottom get slimy and lately, collect dark crud. Eeew! What is THAT?? I'm cleaning the drain more often and it's tricky to get a hand into the tiny spaces; i.e, into the utensil compartment or inbetween and around the little posts. The overall design would be better if it had more of an incline to drain the water (EDIT 3/19: check out my photo in the Customer Image section for my new solution).

Question: What doesn't cut it for the author?

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: How would the suction cup effect the stability of the soap dish?

OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. However, most of the reviews over the more recent months showed people getting the correct item, so I thought Amazon must've corrected the problem. Not so. Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty, maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. And what's with the suction cup? If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth. Anyhow, it's going back immediately. Ridiculous to waste the time, effort, shipping, etc just to randomly give people either the correct product or a cheap, useless version. If you try it, good luck. At least Amazon has easy returns.

Question: What kind of stove does the user have?

I am not overly thrilled with this pot. I would have preferred to have a larger opening at the top because this is difficult to fill with water from the tap on the front of my refrigerator. Also, the "whistle" is more of a hush. Additionally, I do not remember reading in the description that it requires a trivet (just a piece of bent wire) between it and the burner if you have an electric stove with coils. That is not an issue for me as I have a glass cooktop, but some might find it very annoying. My final complaint is that the directions say to use it on a low or medium heat. Are they serious? I filled it and timed how long it took to boil on a medium burner ... a full 26 minutes! So, why did I give it three stars? It gets the job done and was only seven dollars and change. I am seven dollars worth of happy. I will use it until it breaks, and then I will get one with a wider opening at the top.

That is not an issue for me as I have a <hl> glass cooktop <hl>, but some might find it very annoying. My final complaint is that the directions say to use it on a low or medium heat. Are they serious? I filled it and timed how long it took to boil on a medium burner ... a full 26 minutes! So, why did I give it three stars? It gets the job done and was only seven dollars and change. I am seven dollars worth of happy. I will use it until it breaks, and then I will get one with a wider opening at the top.

That is not an issue for me as I have a <hl> glass cooktop <hl> , but some might find it very annoying.


Question: What did the poster initially pay?

I'm amazed by how very much I like this oven. I've had it for a few weeks with daily use and have yet to find any of its functions lacking. Toast is better than from any previous toaster-evenly brown, crisp and rapid. In fact, the reason I was looking was because my toaster died and needed to be replaced. Why not see what more I could get for a little bit more money? I baked a peach crisp last night. It was perfect-golden brown on top and cooked perfectly. Tonight I warmed up todays lunch pizza--again perfect with the crust even more crispy than originally from the regular oven. Since purchasing it I've checked over other similar ovens in the stores and am increasingly glad that I purchased this. Incidentally, I paid $79.99 and see it has gone up significantly in price at Amazon in just these few weeks. Glad I bought it when I did!

Question: Who paid about $75 bucks more than the author for their oven?

Just received my new oven from Amazon (really fast FREE shipping), and I am ecstatic about it. It does everything I wanted in a toaster oven. Haven't tried out the rotisserie part yet, but have already cooked 3 meals in 2 days. Can't wait to make some "Roto-Chicken" in it... Ha! Ha!Sure, there is a point in the oven that is non-supported for the rack, but even some kitchen ovens have that fault. If you know it does that, just be prepared for it. Use 2 (TWO) oven mitts or potholders when sliding in or out the grill or pan. A friend of mine paid about $75 bucks more for theirs, and they don't like it... I think I'll "rub it in" and take mine over to their house some day! Ha! Ha!More writing in the future about this Toaster Oven... For the price and all the "amenities" it has, I'm very satisfied.

Question: Whats the battery life like?

This is a very slim scale with a long battery life that works pretty well! It's light, and it works great on our tile and thin rug surfaces.The only strange thing is that it can never seem to settle on a weight. I understand that as you move your weight fluctuates by a few 10ths of a pound. But it doesn't seem to ever decide "ok, this is your weight" and stop. It just keeps doing it until the delay hits and turns itself off to save battery.

Question: How much does the ends stick out?

Okay, I was in a hurry and I didn't quite get exactly what the reviewers meant when they said it was curved. It is curved Out Of The Horizontal from about 2/3 of the way down from the handle end. That means that when you lay it flat on it's back, the stirring end sticks up into the air at about a 25 degree angle. But in a gradual curve. Like bentwood.There. Now I get it. You probably got it before. The angle is helpful for prying at the stuck bits when making stock. Gives you more mechanical advantage.The olive wood has lovely graining which shows up even more with oiling - mineral oil works fine. It's nice to find such a charming blend of beauty and utility.

Question: Along with being thin what is something really liked about their favorite peel?

I have been experimenting with pizza making for a few years. I've gone through a few Pizza Peels in that time. I've tried the traditional wood, the one offered by Epicurian and this one. The wood one is too thick and although its tapered nicely to retrieve the pies it usually has a problem placing the pie on the Stone. The Epicurian peel was alot better but I still had difficulties transferring the pies to and from the stone. The Mario Batali Peel has no problems at all. Its strong enough to handle a fully loaded pie to and from a pizza stone. I particularly like the thinness and strength of the blade. Its easy to clean and can be taken apart for easy storage. What's not to like? It does what it should.

Question: What recommendation is made by the reviewer to prospective buyers of the same unit?

This unit has a nice large 14 cup bowl along with a smaller one, a nice idea. As with all food processors there are safety features and you must line up the bowl and the shoot and lock before activating food processor. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy but the first time can be tricky.This unit is powerful and super fast. The shoot is larger than the processor I have now which is a plus. Under the motor you can wrap the power cord, which prevents a messy cord. My one negative issue so far is the unit with the bowls needs plenty of storage room.Highly recommend but you will need storage room.

Answer: you will need storage room

Question: How does the reviewer describe the look of the product?

Just started using this. First K cup machine purchase (dual brewing system). The K Cup side is limited to 10oz per brewing, which in my house means at least 2 KC to a "real" mug of coffee. Maybe that's normal for K Cup brewers, but I think it's a bit wasteful -packaging-wise and means you have to hang out to brew the second one before drinking your full-mug of coffee. I'll adapt :-) Drink half now and then brew more? The instructions are a bit misleading about the KCup process, but you'll figure it out. Don't really like that BOTH warmers heat up -instead of just the one you are using. The main pot got pretty darn hot while I was using the KC side. Only other thing to mention is it's a bit loud when it brews using the KCup side. Space is ok, appearance is ok. I would say it's a good purchase if the price is good. I think the dual brew option is the primary reason we purchased this particular machine, so with that in mind I'd give it a 5 star rating, but the lack of a temperature setting along with no separate warming option is why it's a 4 star IMO.

Answer: ok

Space is ok , appearance is ok.

Question: Why does the person's son likes the water that freezes in the tray?

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

Question: What size are Japanese cups compared to American cups?

Zojirushi really knows how to make a rice-cooker.Be ware.. 10-cups refers to Japanese cups, which are smaller than American cups.Pros:-- can cook a variety of rice and other grains (even more than its predecessors)-- extremely reliable results-- can keep rice warm for extended periods of time-- very easy to useCons:-- as with other models, the instruction book leaves a little to be desired-- very loud, annoying sounds when the rice is done. This only lasts a few seconds, but it is very assertive (if this is one of the 'cons', you know that the product is pretty much perfect)-- fairly large footprint, but it is light enough to store under the counter or in a less conspicuous place.

Question: What would they enjoy?

I bought these to assist with the stray pins that seem to jump out of the pin cushion onto the floor. My favorite use is as a assistant to medical magnets. If you are sensitive to magnetic therapy (not everyone is) it doesn't cost much to try them. I make lumbar pillows for those with back problems that do have positive responses to magnets. If it works for you great if not take some more Motrin and paste more pictures of the kids on the fridge. I like to use them as drawer liners in my desk to attract the paper clips and loose staples forever in the bottom of that drawer. I keep a strip in the medicine cabinet to hold the used razor blade I use to scrape paint and clean my glass top range when my cooking isn't quite up to par It is worth the trouble for me not to have to worry about little hands coming across them. Would enjoy hearing uses others have come up with for these. Buy a couple and let us all know. It is a hassle writing these but, I always check them before I buy anything and appreciate others that take that time

Question: What is slightly shorter?

I already own a Wusthof Silverpoint II 6" cooks knife so I got this higher end Grand Prix II to compare with it. The main difference is that this knife is forged with a bolster and the other is stamped with a thinner blade. They do share the handle though and its lightly textured and comfortable and they are equally sharp and arrived in the same type packaging. The cutting edge is slightly shorter on the G/P due to the bolster which also may make sharpening more difficult than with the Silverpoint II. This is great smaller prep knife and I highly recommend it but if you're on a budget look at the Silverpoint II as it performs equally as well for about half the price due to being stamped and less expensive to manufacture. Either way you can't go wrong with Wusthof.

Question: What is the product's noise level?

Oh I like this one a lot for my small bathroom. Short on counter space? This is the solution. The description is wrong in that it states it is 600/1200 watts. It's actually 800/1200 watts but that's okay. The 800 watt setting nicely warms my bathroom if I turn it on about 1/2 hour before I go in there. It wouldn't do much good in a large room though. Relatively quiet too so it would fit nicely under a desk as well, at home or at work.Switching to 1200 watts does not increase the fan speed.Nice for the price. Nice for small spaces.

Question: When did the product stop working?

I bought one of these at Kohl's on 12/27/11. It worked just fine but stopped working by February, so I exchanged it at the store. I only used it when I found 2 pound bags of Starbuck's French Roast at T.J. Maxx for $14.99 and would grind a partial bag at a time. Probably no more than a half hour's use since then but when I ground up some in advance last week, I'm guessing the motor overheated and seized up. It's in the trash now. I'd recommend using this light-duty grinder for no more than a few ounces of beans at a time.

Question: How many times did she use the 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.

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 <hl> several <hl> 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.
