Question: why did they buy the humidifier

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

Question: What do you pour in it?

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 is being reviewed?

I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. I just like to do my routine with creams, lotions etc while in the living room and with so many bottles, cotton pads etc, it could look messy on a shelf or on a side table. This little basket does the job perfectly - it's the ideal size to hold all of my items and is very sturdy, has a very stylish look, the brown blends in with my furniture and so having cosmetic bottles in my living room doesn't look nearly as odd! Also, I like the handles, allows me to transport the basket around with ease. I can imagine using this basket and the same set in different sizes for a million things in the apartment, so I will definitely be ordering more. Highly recommend!

Question: It's big enough to warm what?

We bought this to replace a VERY large, very white (turned brown!) toaster oven that was about 10 years old. I bought this based on the reviews, and the very reasonable price. And the fact that it wasn't white! We've been really pleased. It's big enough to warm leftovers and toast, but much smaller than our previous one. The controls are simple but they all work, and it warms up FAST. We use this mainly for my little boy's fishsticks and waffles, stuff like that, and it works like a champ. I don't have anything negative to say, but I will warn you the cord is pretty short so if your outlet is far away you may want to take that into consideration. We wrapped the crumb/drip tray in foil to make cleaning even simpler. Highly recommend this little guy!

Question: What kind of jars do they keep coffee in?

We live in the country in an old farm house, and every fall, every manner of vermin tries to come in and make their home with us for the winter! I have found that mice can chew through every kind of plastic storage container, but they absolutely cannot chew through glass, lol! I now keep everything in these large glass jars, flour, sugar, coffee, chocolate chips, corn meal, etc. We have managed to run the mice back outside (for this winter, at least) where they belong, and because of these jars, my winter pantry remains intact! This is a great product that can be used over and over for a multitude of things!

Question: What is the problem with blade grinders?

This is my first burr grinder, so I really have no comparison, but still I'll share my experience.I bought this grinder because my old blade grinder died and I like my coffee. All the coffee snob websites (yes, I'm a coffee snob) say that burr grinding is the way to go because blade grinders heat the beans while grinding and this affects the taste. So, since the old one died, I decided to try the burr. Plus, I use a french press at times, so I wanted to be able to grind coarsely to minimize the sludginess in the bottom of my cup (not that I mind it terribly).So, I started using this on coarse setting for my french press. My experience with the coffee, though, was that my sludge factor wasn't lessened over my blade grinder, which I surmise to mean that I'm not getting consistent particle size (still generating fines on coarse setting). Further, I can't taste the difference between burr grinded coffee and blade grinded coffee. So, take that for what it's worth.The unit is messy. Coffee sticks in the bottom bin because of static, which isn't a huge deal, but the discharge from the machine to the bin also contains coffee which falls out on the counter when you remove the plastic bin. cleanup is sort of a pain inside the grinder itself. They say to wipe with a damp cloth and they give you a little brush to brush the little gears. You need a brush with coarser bristles to really get the coffee out, and still, there are remnants of coffee in there that I just can't get out. Maybe I'm overly concerned about cleanliness, but it bothers me.This thing is next to worthless for finer grinds (I'd say anything significantly shy of 25%, towards the fine end). The beans seem to just cease entering the grinder periodically. Then you have to turn it off, unplug it, remove the bottom bin and dump out the beans and put them back in again (or shake the unit) to get it to start grinding again. The beans come out looking pretty finely ground, but it's just aggravating trying to get it to grind the whole batch. This happens on almost every grind on the fine setting and even periodically on the coarser settings...which makes the preset for the amount of coffee (take note, 1 cup = 1.5 tbsp coffee) pointless, because you have to turn it off in the middle to clear the jam.I know you get what you pay for and this is really far down on the price scale for burr grinders. Still, I would expect it to work over it's full range of operations.If you really want a burr grinder, you probably need to invest in a better model (if you want fine grind, at least). But honestly, for just everyday coffee grinding for a normal drip pot (or even a french press) the blade grinders available for half the price seem to perform just as well as this and the cleanup is far easier.

Question: does the product damage vegetables?

I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year, and it still looks brand new. The bristles have not bent or fallen out. It fits into the hand nicely, and is easy to use. The bristles are stiff enough to take care of business, but not so stiff that they rip up the skins on the vegetables. Because the bristles are not harsh, I also use the brush on my hands to clean off ground-in dirt or paint. Best of all, I can pop it into the dishwasher and restore it to germ-free cleanliness. I am very satisfied with this product.

Question: How much of the apple is hard to peel?

I'm not supposed to have apple skins anymore. Believe it or not, they make me sick. So much for 'an apple a day.' So I thought I'd give this peeler a try. First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that. Only problem is, there's a good third of the apple that it can't peel. Apples are basically round, and the blade on this can only follow that curvature for so long before it's just ineffective. So I gotta use a knife to peel away the third that this machine can't. Well, that just creates an extra step and extra mess, and takes up extra counter space for a product that only does 2/3 of the job I need it to do. If I gotta peel 1/3 of my apples by hand, then I may as well peel the whole thing. Sent this thing back, pronto.

Question: What did other users have problems taking off?

I read other reviews before I chose this table. For the record I had no trouble removing the blue protective film from the table top in one piece. While the shipping carton was a bit superficially dented, the contents were undamaged and the unit was easy to assemble. Note that the blue film may not look like it is removable; it might look to some as the surface color of the top and use by heated or cold items might work to 'glue' the film in place. This is only a possibility. The manufacturer might print 'REMOVE THIS FILM' on the film. My table is on a carpet and is stable. Finger prints and future dust can be removed with a soft cloth. This replaces a larger square table that was taking up too much space and of course is adjustable.

Question: What is the bottom shelf made out of?

I replaced a much cheaper one that had lasted me five years, but that was sagging and nearly toppling over-- plus the zipper had broken. I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for. Very sturdy, and though less wide than my old one, actually a much better use of space: I have room under it, because of the wheels, to put shoes in, and because it is metal, the bottom shelf is usable which it wasn't on the old one (had been just cardboard). On one side, I have dresses, and on the other, blazers. Under the blazers, I have my laundry basket, and under my dresses, there's still room on the bottom shelf for other folded up clothes. The rack is sturdy enough that I could store things on the top if I wanted, as well, but I'm not doing so for aesthetics... I'll let you know how the cover works out.

Question: what is the brand name of this product?

This Hoover vacuum was simple to put together. The handle snapped in and it was ready to go. The hose in the back has 2 modes for tools or for regular floor cleaning. The vacuum is lightweight compared to my old Hoover WindTunnel, and lighter than my Bissell and Shark Professional that I tried in the same price range. Suction wise it's good, only time will tell as new vacuums always work better.It does not seem as well made as the Shark Professional which was in the same price point with similar features and pretty great maneuverability but is lighter in weight than the Shark. The canister is easy to empty. It cleaned a pretty dirty carpet and was easy to maneuver even in bathrooms due to its lighter weight. Carrying it up the stairs is also much easier. The filter on this vacuum is rinse and reuse which is convenient.Overall, a good vacuum but do your research as there are many other vacuums in this price point, some with more tools and features.

Question: What happened to this product after one year?

I had the model just below this one (which also cost in the range of $400). Upon the first few uses, the machine constantly leaked water into the tray, AND, even more scary, is the fact that the machine turned ITSELF ON even when the power switch was OFF! How can this be?? Very Scary if you're not home! It began pumping and leaking water into the tray until it completely emptied. I called and complained, and they were good at replacing that model with this one at no charge.As for this model, I am not thrilled. It still leaks water into the tray for no reason, and the milk frothing isn't consistent. I was so proud that I made a perfect cappuccino with the perfect foamed milk a few times. Now I cannot get the same results (must be the pressure). I do not trust that this machine is going to work for much longer, AND you can bet that I UNPLUG this machine after each use based on my previous experience. Can't take that chance again!(update) OK, I was right!!! Now THIS model has also STOPPED WORKING after about a year! It will not turn on anymore. Breville said that they cannot do anything about it and that I'll have to get it repaired on my own. What a piece of $&!T This is a pricey machine that is a waste of money! I just realized what the name Breville stands for (brevity that'll make you ill). HA - Don't waste your money, seriously.

Answer: STOPPED WORKING

I had the model just below this one (which also cost in the range of $400). Upon the first few uses, the machine constantly leaked water into the tray, AND, even more scary, is the fact that the machine turned ITSELF ON even when the power switch was OFF! How can this be?? Very Scary if you're not home! It began pumping and leaking water into the tray until it completely emptied. I called and complained, and they were good at replacing that model with this one at no charge. As for this model, I am not thrilled. It still leaks water into the tray for no reason, and the milk frothing isn't consistent. I was so proud that I made a perfect cappuccino with the perfect foamed milk a few times. Now I cannot get the same results (must be the pressure). I do not trust that this machine is going to work for much longer, AND you can bet that I UNPLUG this machine after each use based on my previous experience.

Question: What is the number one feature?

This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

Question: what setting is used to cook a roast for 8 hours?

I asked for this for my birthday and was so happy when I got it. I like to throw a roast with veggies in it before work and set it to cook for about 8 hours on low. It's so nice to come home to a complete meal and not have to worry about cooking after a long day. This slow cooker works perfectly, though I have not tried using the probe yet. If I had any complaints, it's that the clips for the lid get in the way a bit if you use pot holders to try and remove the crock while it's still hot, but it's not enough of a complaint to lower my rating.One complaint I had with my old slow cooker was that it ran very hot and overcooked food. This one doesn't seem to have the same problem. I can leave a roast cooking for 8-10 hours while I'm at work and it's perfectly tender, but retains some texture, the veggies I put under it are perfectly cooked, not mushy at all.

Question: Doing what with the colander becomes easier over time?

I really like this version of collapsable colander. I had one that was collapsable and shaped kind of like a tennis racket and I loved it but it was really hard to hold let alone dump something in it from a heavy water filled pan. I didn't have enough arms!! So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily. Its easy to clean. Its a little tough at first to squish it down but it gets much easier after you do it once or twice. Brilliant invention.

Question: What types of items can be protected from moths?

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: What does the writer use for regular cleaning of the dish drainer?

$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 did the reviewer pay for this lunchbox?

Bought this for my 21 month old and actually to make it easier for myself as I now have all his snacks in one place while we are on the run and he just LOVES it. My son is very into being a "big boy" and definitely feels like one with his new Thomas lunchbox. The thermos with straw is just perfect for him as he doesn't drink out of sippy cups and he loves to press the button to pop open the cap. It comes with this AWESOME extra thomas themed tupperware type container with two sections AND it also has a "secret" compartment in the front of the lunchbox. It's very sturdy and has a nice carry handle as well as a very nice latch to keep it closed, we LOVE IT! Can't go wrong with this one AND just one last goodie...when you put it in the dishwasher, the images DO NOT come off...YAY!! Just perfect! Update: I paid $14.00 for this, price JUST went up for the holidays to $19.99 - it will go back down, watch for the sales!

Question: How old is the author's child?

Question: What kind of shears are described?

It's been a long time since I had a good pair of Kitchen shears and when these were offered, I jumped on them. They do everything from clipping chives to cutting out a chicken back. The handles are generous (even my husband can easily fit his fingers into them) and can be used by both righties and lefties with comfort.The other cool thing about these snips is they come apart for super easy cleaning. A simple twist and you can get to the dust, dirt and other grime that tends to hide between the blades. This feature alone give these scissors a huge boom compared to other brands.Would I recommend this snips to my friends and family. You bet I would (may even buy a pair for my daughters kitchen). Now that I have them, have no idea how I managed in the kitchen so long without them.

Question: How many weight modes does the scale have?

The American Weigh SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale is one of the best purchases I ever made. It's even better than I expected. It's small enough to slip into my kitchen drawer when I'm not using it. It's less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high. It has a 4 inch square weighing platform. It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes, and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. It's so easy to use and store. I tested the accuracy with a 50 g calibrating weight - this scale is absolutely accurate to fractions of whole numbers. I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous.

Question: What was the issue?

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.

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 <hl> no longer turn on <hl>. 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 long did the second one last?

We received an EC701 model for our wedding, which died after almost 5 years of daily use. We replaced it with this newer model at half the price. Overall, we love this little machine. I make primarily lattes, so I can't speak for the espresso afficionados, but one of the reasons I love this thing is that it will actually foam milk well, which is hard to find in a machine at this price point. It also looks really good on our counter, which is not unimportant. The water reservoir is very easy to access, which is really convenient given how often we use it. Unfortunately we just had our second machine die after only 18 months of daily use. We will be replacing this one with another of the same, simply because we haven't found anything we like better without spending $500+. We will buy the next one at Bed Bath and Beyond, though, because if it dies after 18 months again, we can just bring it back to the store due to their incredible no-questions-asked return policy. That's worth the little extra it costs through them vs amazon.

Question: What does the reviewer wish this product came with?

Works well.Quieter than our Dyson and our Bissell.Has very good suction.Wish it came with a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) so reaching higher spots it a challenge.The cord rewind doesn't all work like it should. Sometimes it stops before it rewinds all the way. I also don't really care of just letting the cord rewind with some "guidance" because towards the end the plug starts whipping around and I'm concerned it will whack and damage something.I cannot recommend using this on wood floors. The SuctionSeal part actually slides along the floor and if you catch something (like sand, or a small rock) the part will push the bit around and scratch the floor so you really need to set the depth just a bit higher than "bare floor."All in all, good and works well.

Question: Where is it manufactured?

The salt shaker seems well made, and it's 18/8 stainless, according to the information stamped on the bottom. But it's from China, so only time will tell if that's true.My only complaint is this: the friggin' labels are nearly impossible to remove! I nearly broke a thumbnail getting off the clear brand label on the side of the container, and I had to soak the UPC label on the bottom for an hour before I could scratch it off with one of my remaining fingernails. Then it took 3 (three) treatments with Goo Be Gone to get the remaining glue off the canister. Why? Why? Why? Turned a good product into a PITA!

Question: What does the author have?

Bought this over a month ago because I am so tired of using a hand can opener when I spend a lot of time cooking for a large family. This has truly been a blessing in my kitchen and now that I have had it, I can not live without it.Worked fantastic right out of the box & I have had 0 issues with it. It is quiet for the most part and looks really high end but yet very low pay for this guy. LOVE IT!!!!

Question: What product is the person reviewing?

I acquired this wonderful griddle pan in a strange way: an awful old, thin griddle was used as a noisemaker to drive a pack of raccoons from our back yard. I didn't expect it to be warped beyond repair because it was banged with a stick, but it was. I never liked the thing anyway, and was glad to replace it.This griddle pan is aesthetically beautiful. The non-stick material is as tough as iron. I've made omelettes in it twice, and was told by the eater that the pan had made a huge difference in the quality of the omelette. I've also made large crepes in it, and the pan has made them much easier to flip and remove. I highly recommend this pan, even if it is a bit expensive. Over the years of quality performance and not having to replace it, it will be worth its price. I don't recommend using it to scare racoons, though.Actually, some of the prices available through Amazon are very good!!

Question: What part of the product was too big for the reviewer's window?

Received this 1 hour ago and does not work in my house and had spent 200.00 for assistance to try to fit my windows, very disappointed that this has happen. Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit. Spent 200.00 trying, so before you buy this unit I hope you have windows that will fit the hoses.

Question: What is the sheet made of?

The sheets in my house must be comfortable and easily changed. I hate sheets that require a lot of muscle to get around mattress corners. These sheets while they fit well and snugly have the deep corners that mattresses today require for ease of bed making. What I found interesting was that the sheets almost have the texture of very fine suede like material while being a cotton sheet.This means the color looks richer also. I prefer these to my Egyptian cotton sheets. I have many large dogs and one occasionally puts a paw or two on the bed in the morning and one will sneak into it if given the opportunity. These sheets hold up to the claws unlike the Egyptian cotton yet seem just as soft.They wash up well too and stay soft.

Question: What type of brush did they use to clean it?

I also cleaned my cat condo tree with this, and though my results were not as spectatular as another reviewer, it still turned out really clean. Perhaps with consistent use it will be better. It's nice to hold onto, very comfortable, nice long electrical cord. The rubber end with the nubbins that grab hair works really well in any direction it is used. Very easy to disassemble to empty and clean debris.I took an old mascara brush (cleaned well in soapy water to remove all remnants of mascara) and use it to brush between ripples in the filter to help clean it out more when I am doing using it. Works really well.

Question: How long did it take before the previous DiLonghi coffee maker stop working?

I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. Can't beat it.We've been using it for about a month and we could not be happier!It's very simple to program and to operate. It makes really good coffee that's hot and stays hot -- the warmer plate is adjustable for temp, and there is a timer to keep the coffee hot up to 4 hours. Good capacity - 14 cups and also has a setting for a small brew; it's easy to fill and the pot does not drip (hooray!)Looks and feels like quality -- it has a sort of "retro" look that I like and looks great with all my stainless appliances. In short, buy this one and you won't be disappointed.

Question: Where is it kept all the time?

As another reviewer said, the seam is in the front, which is a poor design, but other than that, it works well and looks good. Needed a napkin holder for out in the patio, but having the silverware too makes it even better.It's good looking enough to keep on the countertop all the time.

Question: What was originally ordered?

This company sent me this by mistake, I had ordered an espresso machine, anyways they let me keep it at no charge. At first I was like so upset about it! But my kids hooked it up and made me tea, I am a big green tea drinker- well it boils water so fast that it only takes like two minutes for water hot enough for green tea. Anyway now I love it and its great. Also the owner of the company, Karl- he was great about the whole thing, he was so helpful and even though I was totally rude about the mistake he remained professional and apologetic and really fixed everything.

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What is the mat not?

I love this mat for everything. It is of good heft (not flimsy) and makes it extremely easy to knead dough or roll out pizza or pie dough to an exact size. There are even two pizza recipes printed on it. Clean up is a breeze and little if any product is left behind on this mat. It also keeps the counter clean. I only hope the printed information stays for years but since it is probably silicone as well, I don't have any worries. It is one of those things you might not think you need but once you have it you'll use it every day.

Question: How many times do they mop after sweeping?

As far as steamers go, this must be one of the best. Long cord, easy to fill with water, steam in 30-seconds, two levels of steam, even distribution of steam, light weight, no hand pumping, swivel head for tight spots, pad attaches easily. If the one I have were to break, I would probably get another SI-60 just like the one I have now.All that being said; I mop twice after first sweeping and vacuuming the floor. First mop is with a sponge mop that has a squeeze type ringer and a bristle scrub brush on the flip side; I do use a floor cleaning product in the hot water. Then I go over the floor with the steam mop. When I get done the floor looks good and I think its clean. I was not satisfied using the steam mop alone.
