Question: What do they wake up on every morning?

Some sheet sets just refuse to stay on my bed. Maybe its friction, or a lack of it, but it seems every morning I'd wake up on bare mattress, and have to redo 2 or more corners of my fitted sheets. But I still like the sheets, and don't want to throw them away...So I ordered these clips. Very simple. You clip them on the diagonal across the corners of the underside of the mattress, and you forget about them until you change your sheets. The Clips hold tight, don't tear the fabric or the mattress, are easy enough to use, and save me from moving my darn mattress every day. Well worth the cost.

Question: What is the writer a fan of?

I am a huge fan of Oxo. Their products are typically very thoughtfully engineered, however, this one is a failure. The rubber handle is too thick and bulky to hold comfortably, and there is not enough flex in the blade to assist with proper flipping. The edge of the blade is too dull and thick to get under thin items like fried eggs or crepes. Sadly, we had to return this. Luckily, we discovered this gemLamsonSharp 3" x 5" TurnerIt lacks the beauty of an Oxo, but its brilliant design and functionality counteracts this flaw.

Question: What brand iron did my mother-in-low use before?

I love this Panasonic iron! I bought one for me and one for my mother-in-law, and we're both thrilled with its performance. I won a lot of brownie points with her by getting her this great iron. My guess is that she probably switched from some old Sunbeam cheapie that barely could remove the slightest wrinkles, and she got this Panasonic from me and all of the sudden, wrinkles were a thing of the past. I can get all kinds of wrinkles out of my clothes with relative ease, and it's so much easier to fill with water and to put away (retractable cord) than past irons that I've owned (B&D;, Sunbeam).My previous iron was a Black & Decker Digital Advantage which was an awesome iron, indeed, but it did not have the detachable water tank, nor the retractable power cord. The B&D; served me well for a number of years and countless hours, and I would argue that it's a better iron (performance-wise) than this Panasonic, but it must now be retired because it was starting to lose its effectiveness (not sure why), and this Panasonic simply outperforms it (only bc the B&D; is older and had been used for hundreds of hours). If you want the best "performing" iron, I'd probably get theBlack & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron, but if you want the best overall iron for it's combination of ease of use, ease of refilling water tank, performance, and price.This Panasonic is definitely a craftier tool overall because of its features that the B&D; doesn't have, and it is almost as good performance-wise as the B&D.; If this Panasonic breaks anytime soon (within a year), I'd definitely switch back to the B&D; Digital Advantage because it was one hell of an iron for me.

Question: How does the writer pack their lunch?

We love our Easy Lunch Boxes! I have had a set for 2+ years - from preschool to first grade, and they still are in excellent condition. I do not hand wash, they go through the dishwasher (normal wash/heat dry) and I've had no warping or discoloration.My favorite things about ELBs:no more plastic baggies!No more squished lunches!! (nothing says "yuck" like a flat or half-flat BB&J;)Packing lunch is quick and easy - just assembly-line the boxes!I love that lunches for my two kids and I fit all together in the Easy Lunchbox insulated tote for when we go on picnics in the park/zoo, we do not need separate lunch bags.and I love all the lunch ideas on the Easy Lunchbox website/gallery. When in a lunch-rut, I check out the photos to keep my kids interested and excited in their lunches.For "leaky" items like apple sauce, canned fruit, veggie dip, etc., I just put a little Press-n-Seal over that compartment. It is rare that I pack that sort of thing though, I usually get applesauce cups and they drop right into the middle-sized compartment with no problem, and sit low enough that the Easy Lunchbox Lid still fits on.

Question: A lot of times what would co-workers help themselves to and take?

I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. I still have one actually, but it's a larger (stainless steel) variant. Making coffee in the office, many times I'll want to just make coffee for myself instead of the two cups that the larger model would produce. Sometimes a coworker would take the spare cup of coffee, but often it would go cold sitting there as not everyone can handle such an amazing cup of coffee.This thing is perfect for one american sized cup of coffee with creamer. I use this thing in conjunction with a hot plate in the office. Who needs K-cups?

Question: How many people attempted to assemble the difficult chair?

I ordered four different chairs for our office. The other three, one person assembled with no problem. This one, two people worked on for well over an hour on two different occasions. Instead of enclosing a package of hardware, the screws were already screwed into the holes and then painted over (WHY?)- the directions confirmed that we had to remove the screws in order to assemble. I watched an able-bodied guy's knuckles go white as he tried for the nth time to remove one, and still couldn't get it to budge. We tried using a safety pin to remove some of the plasticky blue coating they'd painted the threads with (WHY?) and still couldn't make much progress. Finally got it together, but at the cost of several hours of staff time. Make sure you have a good screwdriver if you're brave enough to attempt it - unlike the other chairs I bought, this one didn't come with an Allen wrench.Assembled, I'm not overly impressed. It's okay. It's comfortable - now. But the seat does not have a lot of cushioning (135lb person using it) and the foam is low density and seems to low quality, so I expect it'll be flat in a year. The mesh back is nice and gives good support, except that the canvas trim around it is uneven and looks very cheap. I can see what another reviewer meant about the seat fabric being very rough - shouldn't be a problem for me, but I wouldn't want to use it with bare legs. The adjustments are pretty good. Definitely would not order another.** Update 9/4/13: taking off a star. The foam seat has flattened, as I expected. The wide-gauge mesh of the seat also traps lots of particles and looks dirty constantly. Not worth the money. Get theOffice Star Space Professional Air Grid Back Managers Chair with Leather Seat and 2-to-1 Synchro Tilt Controlinstead - a little more money but much better quality. I just bought a fourth one for the office.

Question: Do you need to grind up the coffee beans?

If you love your Keurig because it's a great cup of coffee but not particularly partial to any one of the available k-cups then this is a money saving must-have. Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter.My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight. I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. And don't overfill it, for some reason it doesn't make as much coffee when the reusable filter is too full.I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine.Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!

Question: For how long was there no blender?

I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks.I can't speak to other's expectations or results, but the makers bill this blender as an affordable alternative to a Vitamix.It is not. It doesn't come close.It blends just as nicely as the ~$100 Cuisinart I previously had, but it is nothing close to the Vitamix 5200 it is temporarily replacing. The speed and smoothness are legions away from the Vitamix. I can't fathom how anyone could even try to compare the two. I've used 20 year old Vitamixes that blend more smoothly.I'll keep it and possibly use it as a travel/back-up/whatever blender, but there really isn't a comparison. I'd happily give it a higher rating if the makers weren't trying to say the devices compare to each other. It's an absolutely decent blender, but any comparison to a Vitamix is completely out of line, ATMO.

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: How does the reviewer think the product looks?

I was worried about this set as I had ordered it without reading reviews (something I rarely, rarely do but I was leaving town and on my way out the door) However it's not nearly as "shiny" as other reviews would have you believe and certainly looks just great. Certainly ambiguous enough to be in a guys or gals bedroom without being particularly overly manly or feminine. The underside is a more cottony feel and very warm which I appreciate and the throw pillows look great. Overall I'm really happy with it.

Question: How did the customer find the product?

This rug started out in my bathroom and I absolutely loved it. Then my daughter stole it for her bathroom and left a similar colored one in its place and that helped me realize how different this rug was. Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent. We do hang it up to dry when it is wet and it drys very quickly unlike the similar replacement. I have since taken my rug back and my daughter is waiting for them to be in stock again on Amazon to order her own. We are very pleased with this product.

Question: How many sets of containers did the author purchase?

I bought two different sets of these containers and am posting the same review to each.I had a set of these that I received years and years ago for signing up for a free checking account at my local bank. That set was great-- held up to dishwasher/microwave/college student use and nested well (all containers were different sizes.)Over the years and several moves, I lost almost all of these containers (or their lids), so I recently decided to replace them.They're still the same great containers (now BPA free!), but I noticed that the containers that are the same size (share the same sized lid) don't nest. They just... stack. Not a HORRIBLE big deal, as you can create a sort of nesting system with the various sizes, but it would be more convenient to be able to nest same sized containers together.Regardless, I'm still glad I pitched the large majority of the patchwork collection of food storage containers I had amassed over the years and replaced them with these. I no longer need to worry about surprise wet papers/purses/lunchboxes or melting containers in the microwave. I just wish that these were more nest-friendly, to save on storage space and save the hassle of sorting through a stack of 3/4 containers to get the right sized one out or put it away.

They're still the same great containers (now BPA free!), but I noticed that the containers that are the same size (share the same sized lid) don't nest. They just... stack. Not a HORRIBLE big deal, as you can create a sort of nesting system with the various sizes, but it would be more convenient to be able to nest same sized containers together. Regardless, I'm still glad I pitched the large majority of the patchwork collection of food storage containers I had amassed over the years and replaced them with these. I no longer need to worry about surprise wet papers/purses/lunchboxes or melting containers in the microwave. I just wish that these were more nest-friendly, to save on storage space and save the hassle of sorting through a stack of 3/4 containers to get the right sized one out or put it away.

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

Answer: replace another small one

<hl> I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. <hl> 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: Why hadn't the reviewer actually used it to cut pizza?

I just received the Star Trek Pizza cutter today (so exciting!) (yes I know...total geek!). Actually I purchased this as a gift, but now I want one for myself!! First off, it was really nicely packaged, and I was kind of surprised by that. Usually when you buy something in this $25 price range it comes in some old cardboard box in like bubble wrap. But this was in a really nice box with that spongy foam stuff.....so kudos to their marketing people for the packaging! It was all shiny and silvery, and I'm thinking.....I wouldn't want to get this dirty cutting pizza! LOL But seriously I'm writing this review because I myself always read them before buying a product and I trust what people say. I haven't actually tried cutting pizza with this (since it's a gift), but this is such a cool item for the price, that I don't think you will be at all disappointed. Even if this thing doesn't actually cut pizza (which it seems pretty sharp so I think it will).....I wouldn't even care, because it made me smile just looking at it in the box! (for those fellow Star Trek lovers, you know exactly what I mean). If you or anyone you know loves Star Trek, then I totally recommend this cutter. You'll love it!

Question: What sort of grip do these hangers use to hold onto a pair of slacks?

My closet floor used to be a magnet for slacks. No more! These wonderful hangers hold onto a pair of slacks with a vice-like grip. Even the heaviest, thickest corduroy pants can't get away. The pincer-like holders have a rubbery padding at the tips, so no there's no damage to fabrics from the strong squeeze.The slacks sit rather high on the hanger, so they're less like to get lost among the other garments in one's closet. Another plus.I used to be so short of pants hangers, that I'd hang two pairs to a hanger. This makes getting slacks out of the closet quite a struggle and also loosens the grip of the hanging mechanism over time. I'm so glad I thought of looking for hangers on Amazon. Finding them locally would have been a hassle.I don't stack these hangers, but use them individually. I'm completely happy with them.

Question: What is the cup designed to fit into?

Use this cup at work and it is great. Keeps the drinks cold and yet keeps the outside not so it is easy to hold. It is made to fit nicely in the cup holder of your car, which is great for he drive back and forth. The lid screws on nicely and has a good seal. If you like green and need a cup to keep your drinks cold for work then this is great.My only gripe is it only came in the 16oz size only at the time of purchase. Would love to see it in a 20oz size.This item shouldn't be put in the dishwasher. It is worth it to take the extra 30 seconds to just wash and rinse it in the sink by hand.Edit: (4/19/2012)Just wanted to add this in case people are trying to decide on size. If you use those drink mixes, especially the Crystal Light packages, I would go with the 20 oz. Just easier to fill and mix with that little extra few ounces. This will work as well, but you have to fill it to the brim for the 16oz and it can make stirring a little annoying. Not a knock against the cup, just added info in case that was one of the uses.

Question: How could this item be improved?

This product works very well for my white cast iron sink. It fits perfectly; supports my dishes; and I like that it does not rust and does not encourage mold growth by lying flat against the sink.This product would be even better if the rack prongs were spaced more closely together to prevent silverware, sippy cup filters, and other small items from falling through. Also, I wish that the black rubber stoppers along the bottom were also present on the four corners of the rack. The rack fits perfectly in my sink and prevents scratches on the bottom of the sink, but the four "corners" of my sink where the rack (almost) touches (and inevitably does touch/bang against my sink when I'm washing dishes)are scratched from this item.

Question: How would the person have preferred the color to be?

I'm using it in front of the kitchen sink and it works well. It is indeed easy to clean - spills wipe right off which means it should last longer than the cheap slice rugs I've been using which just can't be cleaned up. My only issues with it are that it's not particularly comfortable to stand on and the color is much more golden than pictured. I would have preferred a dark color. It's not uncomfortable but is totally flat, giving no support or relief. But overall I'm pleased. And it came very quickly. It was rolled up but laid out flat just fine.

Question: Is the scale made from durable materials?

I'm a culinary student and we have to have a scale. This one is great for stable use, but I don't recommend it for travel. The sensors are the 'feet' of the scale, so if I were to carry it in my knife bag, I expect it would break quickly. I leave it in my locker at school. It'll also be great at home when I'm done with school.

Question: How many temperature settings does it have?

I have purchased and returned 3 coffee makers in the last 4 months before buying this one. All the ones before this lacked in different features that I think is vital for a good coffee maker. To name a few, water temperature, brew strength and quality construction. This coffee maker is great, it heats the water very well resulting in the brewed coffee @ 165-168 degrees F. It has a very good warming plate that can be adjusted to stay on from 10 to 120 min. and 3 temperature settings (low, medium and high). It has 2 brew strengths (regular and strong), that really work. It has a water filter so you can use water straight from the tap. It comes with a gold tone cone shape filter and it is programmable. I'm glad I purchased mine from Amazon.com when I did for $69.99 because it went up $10 a few days later. So far I am completely satisfied with this coffee maker.

Question: The on-off switch of the device would ideally be separated from what other switch?

I read most of the reviews on this scale before I bought it. Have had it for about 3 weeks so far. Works great. Appears to be precise. Digits easy to read.I downrated to 4 stars for two reasons:1. Large bowls cover the readout. It they had made the scale slightly taller, and changed the angle of the readout to closer to vertical (as my old scale was), then no matter how large the bowl, the scale could be read.2. I prefer a separate on-off switch from the tare switch. This design requires the user to press the on/off/tare switch once to zero it, and then a second time to turn the scale off. An unnecessary extra step.

Question: How old is the item in question?

Over a year old now and used multiple times each day. I generally use one grind size so I'm not doing a lot of shifting between sizes so cannot speak to haow well the grinder holds up to constant grind adjusts.Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). A very well-designed product.Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* loud, but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size. Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind.

Question: What did this person buy?

I recently put in hardwood floors and was looking for a light vacuum to use that would be quick to get the job done. This vacuum is amazing! Strong suction, light enough to carry around with one hand, and I vacuumed the main level of my house literally in 5 minutes! My husband put a strap on it too so I can wear it on my shoulder. It makes doing the stairs very easy. The cord doesn't retract, which is kind of annoying, but I'm willing to out up with that. The hose pieces/extender just attach with pressure and a few times they have come apart, but they would likely be fine if I get my husband to push the pieces together. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Question: What does the product have that is beneficial?

I use this for homebrewing after reviewing several thermometers out there. This one is great because the probe can withstand to be in the liquid and is long enough to do the job. It also features and on/off switch which a lot fo the others out there do not so you can save on some batteries, even though the draw is minimal as I use this thing a lot and am still on the same battery (thankfully it only uses 1 AAA and comes with it). If you are a homebrewer, get this one. You won't be sorry.

Question: What do they prefer this fan over?

We live in Florida and on a hot summer day our apartment AC stopped working. Thats when we realised we need a back up desk fan inorder to stay alive. A thorough search made us buy this.Its not heavy but very powerful. Even when its too hot, I use it at the 2 speed. I like its features of moving side to side and up and down. Although I dont use much of the up & down feature, it is still nice to have.Buy this if u need cool breeze.. I prefer this over my AC now...Definitely cuts down your electicity bill.

Question: What kind of food does the poster cook?

I bought one of these because of the very positive reviews many people have left. It makes sense that heavy cast iron would be good for high-heat oriental wok cooking. Well, the principle is OK, but this expensive wok does not work any better than our aluminum electric wok. I've tried it several times, and the high heat zone is simply too small to allow cooking with any reasonable amount of food. The sides are also sloped to much. It should be much broader.As an experiment, I tried substituting a 12" Lodge cast iron skillet I have and, to me surprise, it works excellently for high heat wok-style cooking. You get a great sear, specially with vegetables, and the size of the Lodge is much greater than this wok. On the plus side, though, for the Le Creuset, it is much prettier.Sorry I got it. Not worth the money.

I bought one of these because of the very positive reviews many people have left. It makes sense that heavy cast iron would be good for high-heat <hl> oriental wok <hl> cooking. Well, the principle is OK, but this expensive wok does not work any better than our aluminum electric wok. I've tried it several times, and the high heat zone is simply too small to allow cooking with any reasonable amount of food. The sides are also sloped to much. It should be much broader.As an experiment, I tried substituting a 12" Lodge cast iron skillet I have and, to me surprise, it works excellently for high heat wok-style cooking. You get a great sear, specially with vegetables, and the size of the Lodge is much greater than this wok. On the plus side, though, for the Le Creuset, it is much prettier.Sorry I got it. Not worth the money.


Question: Where should the iron be put when it is not using?

I am an avid sewer, so I really have to have a good ironing board. This board is easy to shift to the desired height, so it can be used to iron standing up or if I am sitting. It is well made and attractive. It is well padded. It has an iron rest. It can be stored in a closet easily as it is not overly long. There is only one flaw that I have found in this product. It must be used on an even floor. If the floor is uneven, it can be wobbly. The legs have a white emamel finish, easy to keep clean and free from dust. I would have given five stars except for the need to place product on an even floor.

Answer: iron rest

Question: How does it compare to other racks?

I am so glad I read both the positive and negative ratings. After seeing some of the more favorable reviews and the pictures I decided to take a chance on this rack. I am so glad that I did. I liked it so much I bought a second. You must make sure that you assemble it tightly otherwise it may come apart. If you pound the ends to ensure they fit together tightly (you may want to have a 2nd person assist, although not neccesary)you will have no problems. The coating on the racks are textured and not smooth to help shoes from sliding and the adjustable racks help accomodate different types of shoes. Some mention they can't close doors with this on the back so I (and I would suggest others) put it on the inside of a closet door. It can easily fit 36 pairs of shoes, if you have really wide or large shoes it may be a little less (although other reviews say that with their wide shoes it accomodates 36). It hangs on the door easily with no problem. It's lightweight but sturdy. Compared to some other racks that I've owned, it's sturdier, holds more shoes and doesn't crimp or damage any parts of my shoes.

Question: How many hands to you need to use the hose?

I just got the Amico and took it for a quick spin today. It does a really good job getting baked-on crud off my stovetop, cleaning grout, and taking gunk off my floor. I am impressed! It comes with a nice selection of accessories, and a storage bag. I had a tough time choosing between this and the Enviromate Pronto, but I'm glad I got this one. It seems well-made, and it is easy to use. It does take two hands if you use the hose attachment, one to hold the body and press the trigger, and the other to maneuver the attachment, but that is no problem.I have a large White Wing steamer, but it's awkward to haul up and down the stairs. The Amico works best for spot cleaning and smaller jobs, and it only weighs 3 1/2 pounds.

Question: What kind of finish does it have?

Attractive, sturdy, and holds a lot of utensils! The holder is divided into 3 compartments so the utensils don't become hopelessly tangled. It has a nice non-skid bottom surface so it does not scratch or slide on my granite countertop. The finish is shiny, but it still works with the matte finish of my stainless steel appliances.

Question: when can this be useful for your car?

We bought this to clean our carpeted stairs with. It was just to much of a hassle to clean them with the attachments of our normal upright vacuum so we would basically end up cleaning the first few we could reach from the ground floor and the last few we could reach from the second floor but leaving the stairs in the middle dirty because we didn't want to drag the whole vacuum up and down the stairs.This little thing is perfect for stairs and cleans really well. It's also handy for getting pet hair off of couches and chairs and cleaning out the car at home.The only negative thing I could say about it is that it can be a little loud to use depending on the surrounding area. I don't normally consider it an issue but the stairs going down to our basement have dry wall on both sides of them so it's a pretty tight area and it gets noisy there. I've never thought it was loud anywhere else.

Question: How old was the reviewers dog when it died?

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

Question: What brand is the knife?

I've been a kitchen knife connoisseur since I started to get into healthy eating many years back. Let's face it, if you want to be healthy, a proper diet is essential and cannot be overlooked. The problem is not finding high quality foods, fresh organic produce can be found in nearly every neighborhood in America. Even big name grocery stores are carrying organic produce. The problem is making the time to prepare your own meals. For this, a proper kitchen knives set is essential. They make cooking enjoyable and the food made from a happy chef always seems to taste better.When you look at my current kitchen set-up, you'll find a collection of high quality steel knives:Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star II 11-Piece Knife Set with Block,J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro Stainless Steel Steak Knives, Set of 4, andZwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. And an assortment of high quality ceramic knives:Kyocera Revolution Series Knives, 5-1/2-inch Santoku Knife, White Blade,Kyocera Revolution Series 3-1/7- Inch Paring Knife with Red Handle, White Blade, andKyocera Revolution Series 5-Inch Micro Serrated Utility Knife, White Blade.I am a firm believer that you can't know something until you personally experience it. This is especially true with kitchen knives and computer keyboards. When shopping for my knives, I went to the local specialty kitchen store and tested out every knife set they had - the full range of J.A. Henckels, Wusthof, and Victorinox brands, and smaller specialty knife companies like Kyocera. I took home with me (or bought on Amazon) the knives that felt best in my hand. When you shop for high-end kitchen cutlery the blade materials are nearly identical between the brands and models, so the deciding factor is always the way the knife feels in your hand. After all this is where every knife will gets it's final grade. Personally, I prefer the more modern ergonomic designs with their soft curves and smooth finish. The distribution of a knife's weight is crucial with speed and precision.Bodum is new to the high-end knife market, trying to stake their claim with an array of ceramic knives. While a Santoku is my "go to" knife in the kitchen, this particular Santoku knife from Bodum won't find too much use from me. And again, it's all due to personal preference.... The knife cuts smooth and stays sharp. My complaint is with the balance of the weight of this knife. The area where the blade meets the handle is thick with ceramic and heavy. For me this negatively affects my cutting action. I prefer a more evenly distributed weight and a lighter knife. In addition, I like my knife handle smooth - it allows the blade to rest nicely against my palm. This Bodum Santoku knife uses a bumpy rubber-like handle that while provides a solid grip, just isn't to my liking.All is all, this is a nice kitchen knife. The price is fair for ceramic and the green color is fresh and fun. Add an all-white ceramic blade to the funky green handle and this knife will be an icebreaker for a single man/woman cooking dinner for his/her date or an exciting conversation piece for a dinner party with family or friends.

Question: What was the main item that the trash can were packed in?

I love these trash cans. They look clean and fit well in tight spaces like I needed. Only downside is they are fragile and easily dented. I ordered two of them on the same order and both arrived with dents in them. They were packaged in a box barely big enough to hold them with no padding or protection other than thin plastic bag. Fortunately I was able to situate each can so the dented side is against a wall so it doesn't show. If you are lucky enough to get yours undamaged, I'm sure you will be pleased with this trash can.

Question: how does the reviewer feel about the night stand?

It is a nice night stand, quite spacious too. Quality is not bad. What I didn't like is that assembling is not very easy. It looked pretty simple, was doing according to instructions, but later discovered that some parts had to be another surface up or down, instruction wasn't specifying it so I had to unscrew and re-assemble it several times. But finally it is done and looks good. I am happy.

Question: What is the quality of the photos?

I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey. Well, the recipe and products in this kit don't allow for making Ricotta from the whey. You have to use more milk if you want the ricotta. So I am still stuck with all of this leftover whey. The next problem is the instructions are not very clear and the photos are pretty poor. The "dairy" thermometer they include looks more like a $.99 thermometer you'd take your baby's temperature with, not a dial thermometer. I am so upset that I wasted an entire gallon of fresh milk that did not turn into Mozzarella, in spite of my attempts to follow the instructions provided. I'll try again tonight using instructions I found on-line.
