Question: What gently opens and closes?

This is my second simplehuman product. As with the first, a shower rack, I am quite happy. The design of this trash can is quite good. The step lever works well, gently opening and closing. The height allows for a somewhat narrower width which helps in my relatively small kitchen. There is minimal assembly involved when you take the can out of the box. Instructions are sensible and simple, and most are affixed to the can itself. It has a pet proof locking lid which I will appreciate every time I drop bones into the can watched by two drooling and determined poodles. It also seems to seal nicely, which will keep kitchen odors down.

Question: What does the customer say about the crevice tool?

Just got this item (3/28/2014)--it replaces 2 Hoover Flairs that I've had since 2007 and 2008. So far I mostly like it. It has 2 cons that I can determine right off the bat.[1] The crevice tool is useless. You need to dismantle the head and replace it with the tool and then carry around the whole vacuum. I am disabled, so this doesn't work for me.[2] The head is not a "swiwel" head--it is stationery, and therefore harder to use.Pros:[1] Adjustable handle height (for us shorties)[2] Great suction[3] Long cord

Question: how do the vegetables come out after 8-10 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: What gets the blades apart?

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: The reviewer uses this fan especially for what kind of noise?

I had a tower fan for over 8 years and it suddenly died and they didn't make it anymore. So I searched and found the Lasko 2551, decided to give it a try. It comes just needing to be attached to the base, which is easy. It's nice and tall, so half the air isn't blown into the floor. I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly. For me, the fan is almost too quiet. It's sturdy, doesn't tip over easily, and has a nice cord length.

Question: What size bottle did the person order?

I guess I don't have to add much here considering all the excellent reviews on this bottle. Everyone has managed to say what I would have said. So I'll just reiterate on what is most important and that's quality. This is a very sturdy, solid feeling bottle which does everything as described in the ad. It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. I'm impressed and very, very pleased! Excellent product.

Question: How many temperature options?

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 a disappointment?

I actually like to iron and own the Rowenta Professional iron. I have used it a half dozen times and it is useless. The iron doesn't heat - not even on the cotton linen setting.As per Rowenta, inorder to have it serviced I would pack it up and send it to a service center, and pay for shipping and repair which is more than the cost of a replacement iron.It is not under warrantee as it was in storage - unused - and was purchased last summer, so it is over a year old.I have had irons last many years and they keep steaming along. This one is a disappointment.

Question: what is the problem with this press?

The press itself is perfect for garlic. The only problem is that the handles become lose and water gets in. It has become a pain to clean being that I have to remember to take it apart when it goes in the dishwasher if I want a sanitary clean press to come out. And when I do forget I usually get water leaking as a I go to put it away, and it's not clean inside because it is lose enough for water to gather in while in the washer, and needs to be cleaned again. I did a lot of research before purchasing this press and given the ratings took the chance. You can't really predict something like this will happen and its more of a nuisance than anything. I really love OXO products and hope they can fix this problem.

Question: Is anything included with it?

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: Where did they use DampRid

We have a small room converted to an office, on the second story of our house. The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there.Based on a recommendation from a Home Depot associate, decided to give DampRid a try -- and have been very happy ever since. We put the container in the room, and about every few weeks or so we dump out more than a cup full of water down the drain. These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now.Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.

Question: What is the model number of their blender?

I actually own the Oster 6646 but am writing the review here because the 6646 appears to be no longer caried by Amazon and the 6684 is simply the black version of the 6646.First, the good: This blender does a very good job of blending ingredients, including frozen ones, into drinks of consistent texture. No lumpy pieces of fruit or bits of ice hiding in the drink. It also does a good job of pulling the ingredients down the side of the jar and around the blades so that everything gets blended properly.Now, the bad: Shortly after my 1-year warranty expired, I turned on my blender one day and it abruptly turned off after about one second. I actually think this was my fault as I didn't have the jar seated quite right and I had some ice cubes at the bottom of the jar right by the blades. At any rate, to make a long story short I was left with the option to either (a) pay to get the blender repaired, which would have cost over half what one costs new; (b) throw the blender away; or (c) try to fix the thing myself. I had a hunch that perhaps I could find a fuse inside that had blown, so I attempted to take apart the blender. I tried A LOT of different screwdrivers, both at home and at work, and I could not get any of them to grip the screws properly to remove them. I took the blender to my local hardware store and, after a lot of patience, was finally able to remove the screws. While I readily found a fuse, the hardware store said they didn't have a matching replacement fuse. A little frustrated but still determined, I went to yet another hardware store; a seemingly knowledgeable clerk there told me that I would probably have a hard time finding the proper fuse because of the filament design, even though the fuse is labeled as a 5 amp 125 volt fuse. Still determined, I went to Radio Shack. Though they did not have a fuse that looked the same in terms of filament, the guy there assured me that a slow blowing 5 amp 250 volt fuse should work just fine. And guess what -- he was right. So now I have an additional three back up fuses in case it blows again, for a total out of pocket cost of less than 10% what a new blender would cost. Now my search is on for replacement screws so I can attach the bottom of the unit to the base again.I guess I can't totally fault Oster for not making a consumer level repair more easy. I think this is true across the board for consumer electronics today. Still, I hate to think of all of the perfectly good machines out there that get tossed in the garbage and end up in a landfill (even though there are toxic components inside) that just maybe would be put back into service by the people who owned them if the manufacturer gave simple instructions for something as simple as replacing a fuse and didn't assemble the device so as to discourage people from trying to take it apart.

Question: How long can one tank last before refilling?

We had previously used a "cold air" humidifier but it made the room too cold so I tried this one. It works perfectly. My only complaint is that you have to constantly refill it. We can barely make it through the night on one tankful. Otherwise, it works great and I recommend it.

Question: What have they kept well?

These have been durable and have kept their non stick well. I am careful when I cook or clean them not to scratch them (out of habit), but overall I am quite pleased.

Question: What made very happy the author of the review?

This is a good product. Upon first ordering it, it worked well but then the fan started making a lot of noise and wouldn't stop. The company was contacted and they replaced the device without question, mainly because others had also complained about the fan. The company remedied the problem by having these devices re-manufactured with a different fan (I don't mean they repaired the one I sent them - I mean all their future devices were manufactured with a better fan). So they mailed me a new one at their own expense and it's been working great ever since - no noisy fan ever again. I was also pleased with their customer service - actually got a very nice, real live,courteous, friendly person on the phone who bent over backwards to be helpful. So I'm completely satisfied with this purchase and it continues to be a great little workhorse. I have one in the bathroom and one in the laundry room.

Question: What is the writer afraid could happen to the product?

Got this for my mom because she is superstitious and likes to have as much luck when it comes to everything. So I saw this online by accident and thought that I should give it to her as a gift. Looks really cool on the marble counter at their house and does a very good job holding the butter. The only thing I would suggest would be to put something on the bottom to make sure it doesn't get knocked off the counter by accident because the bottom is a little slippery and it could chip. So we went to the store and got some white bath tub strips and put them on the bottom of the plate to make sure that it doesn't fall of the counter. We chose that instead of felt because when you wash the dish, you really cannot wash felt without replacement. So next i would suggest (we didn't do it yet though) is to put a strip of that same bathtub anti slip strips along the edge of the Buddah lid because both the lid and the plate can chip if you are not careful.Overall, it looks great and does a great job holding all sizes of butter.

Question: Why did the reviewer suspect this country of origin?

This grill is considerably lighter in weight than my old grills as well as less expensive. Wonder if it's a European model, as the instructions come in several languages. Oh well, it works fine.Is there any reasonable way to renew the Silverstone coating? My old grills still heated up fine, but they became increasingly difficult to clean.

Question: Are the pans non-stick?

I never thought I'd love a bread pan so much. The pan has a nice weight. My bread comes out evenly cooked and perfectly browned on the sides and bottom (as well as on the top). I greased my pans the first 3 times, but the last time I baked bread, I didn't grease the pans and the loaves slid right out. These are truly non-stick (unlike my older "non-stick" teflon loaf pan). I also love that these are made in America. I've recently switched to baking all of our bread, rather than buying sandwich bread, and plan on picking up 2 more of these (I already have 2).

Question: How long did it take for this person to vacuum one room?

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 is terrible on the timer?

I searched and searched for an inexpensive timer to replace the 3-way one I had for years and loved. This was the closest thing I could find, and was disappointed. It is cheaply made, and the buttons are hard to push and don't always register. The timer itself works fine, but the display is terrible. You can even see in the picture that there are numbers visible in the background. The first week I had this one, I couldn't read the bottom row because the background was so dark and the right numbers wouldn't show up. That problem is intermittent now. I will continue to look for a better replacement.

Question: Are the cages flimsy?

I assisted in the decoration of a wine and cigar lounge in my hometown. The cigar lounge portion was adorned with the usual trappings but the House of Corks wire cork cages were just what the Doctor ordered. the cages are much sturdier than i imagined they would be. Shiny in appearance and antique looking. This cage does not come with any corks but instead has a drop hole built into it that allows the user to easily add their finest corks to the inner space. this globe of corks will hold a world of your fondest memories.

Question: This person intends to mount their fan where?

Great little fan that runs on AC line voltage. I bought it to ventilate a desk with an enclosed computer cabinet. I intend to mount it to the back of my computer desk to provide ventilation when the door to the computer compartment is closed. I will need to cut a 120mm round hole for the fan and some other vent holes in the back of the desk.It is not loud, but it is louder than the PC is is cooling. In a quiet room it is definitely noticeable, but for me it is not too annoying yet, though time will tell. Perhaps when I mount it to the back of the desk it won't be so noticeable. Right not is is just sitting next to my computer blowing air out the front of the desk, quite close to me.One thing I wish it had now was an on/off switch. And even better would be a thermal switch so it would only run when its hot.

Question: How much noise is the Sunbeam in early use?

I had a Sunbeam for 4 years which I loved. It died and even without a receipt, Sunbeam replaced it based on the Mfg. code. However changed locations and bed size so it was bye-bye.I went for the low-voltage mostly due to the promise of finer sized heating elements.WOW!So small it is like magic. I could feel the ones in the Sunbeam. I also like how they placed the connector to the side so I don't kick it.In early use I have heard zero transformer noise.Either pad will save energy. The soft heat dobby is pure luxury

Question: What did they read from cover to cover?

I have the CPT-180 four-slice toaster. As was the experience with several other reviewers, the two center slices toast very unevenly--no matter what the setting or the kind of bread. (And, yes, I have read the owner's manual from cover to cover.) I returned my previous CPT-180 to Cuisinart because of uneven toasting; the customer service was quick and very courteous. I was impressed. Alas! I am not at all impressed with the performance of the replacement. It has the exact same problems as the one I returned. I think there must be a design flaw. From Cuisinart? Sad.

Question: What was missing when the product was received?

This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy. The finishes are attractive and it was very easy to put together. I think this clothes butler would work just as well for a woman as for a man as it is also a bit taller than I expected. If you are in the market for one of these I believe you would be quite happy with this. There are many that are more expensive, and others that are all wood, etc., but this one has a charm of it's own and has quite a modern look to it. I can confidently recommend this product. A little bit about the seller - 2K Furniture Designs: There was one small 0-ring that I was missing when I received the product - and I contacted the seller and I received a prompt reply and a week later received two 0-rings. I mention this only because it is always good when a seller stands behind their product when there is a problem and 2K Furniture Designs did just that. Very impressed.

Question: What did the mattress arrive in?

This mattress arrived in a rectangular box that was in perfect condition (I say this because there are some reviews of the box being damaged). We unwrapped it and watched it grow. I didn't purchase a new platform; instead, it sits on my not-too-old box spring which is fine.Now, I love a firm mattress, but it conforms to my body only a little. In other words, there isn't the "wow factor" of feeling weightless yet supported like many of the other foam mattresses available. I debated returning it, but decided that I didn't want to go through the hassle of figuring out how to get it back inside the box - seems impossible once the mattress grows to its full size. So, I purchased a topper - material-filled (down, or something like it); not foam - and it does make somewhat of a difference.. However, I am thinking about getting a foam topper to see if that makes it even more conforming.So, while this mattress does give me a good night's sleep, I wouldn't buy it again.

Question: How long was it used for without losing power from battery?

There are a few cautions, based on using it extensively once and less extensively a second time. It could be heavy for a woman, especially a small woman, to handle. The intake is smooth plastic, but I suspect it could scar some furniture, or at least leave minor tracks on the surface; it did not on my furniture, but the manufacturer should buffer the end with a brush or felt. There is a brush that can rotate into place, but I found it not very effective in helping collect dust. On the plus side, I used it for at least an hour the first time without having any loss of power from the battery. It has very good suction, and the position of the intake can be rotated to several angles and then folded under for storage or battery charging. I can't say how the filters work, because I've not had to replace one thus far. Bottom line, the Black & Decker Pivot Vac is probably better for the shop than the home. I don't have a shop, and it works pretty well for the home getting into places that, in my case, have collected dust for a long time.

Question: What does the reviewer still prefer to use for batters?

After years of hearing how necessary a stand mixer is we took the plunge. Our hand mixer of many years was defeated by some thick cookie dough.The 5 quart bowl seems a bit small ( we have double convection ovens so double cookie batches are the norm) and, with cookie and cake dough, there seems to be a dry residue at the bottom of the bowl. It is inconvenient to stop and scrape over and over.Yesterday we used it to start pizza dough....that was terrific.This mixer is a good bread dough device but a good hand mixer is still preferred for many batters.Of course, everyone we know raves about the mixer....maybe we are missing something....or maybe they haven't used a hand mixer!Update time. As time has passed we have come to love the mixer for everything. If you like to bake...you need this mixer!

Answer: good hand mixer

After years of hearing how necessary a stand mixer is we took the plunge. Our hand mixer of many years was defeated by some thick cookie dough.

Question: Will it pick up pet fur?

This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery. There is a blue light indicator on the top that shows you how much battery is left. The battery itself charges in I think about 3 hours and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use. When using the vacuum, I get a lot of time with it on one charge and as I said, it hardly loses suction, if any at all until the very very end. It's hard to measure just how long it lasts, because it is substantial time. It's very handy in so many ways and pretty versatile. Compared to other handheld cordless vacuums, this is top notch. I had a green one (I believe it was a Shark brand) that was just awful. Practically immediately lost its charge and suction and took forever to charge. Also it was very clunky, so I ended up just throwing it out. While this Hoover vacuum is more expensive than others, it was well worth the investment. It will last and it out performs the competition. I have a dog who sheds all the time. This vacuum takes care of that fur on the couch and car seats in no time. I love it and I'm glad that I purchased it. I highly recommend it.

Question: When does it survive the longest?

I'm about to order my third one of these. The first was left out in freezing weather by a house-sitter who used it to carry water to some chickens. It froze and cracked. The second cracked after my husband decided to make tea in it and poured boiling water onto the tea bags. But it's such a good pitcher (especially for infusing the tea with fruit) that we're giving ourselves one more chance. Just keep in mind that it will survive much longer if not subjected to temperature extremes. It does a wonderful job of imparting fruit flavors while leaving the tea (or other liquid) separate for serving.

Question: What kind of electric kettle did the customer buy?

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. It is a real winner in my book! i like the safety features of this kettle and especially not having a cord dangle as I'm filling my teapot with boiling water,My expensive coffeemaker has a plastic filter basket which I think imparts a flavor to my coffee. Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal. This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

Question: How long does it take to make bread?

I shopped for quite some time, trying to find the perfect breadmaker. I LOVE this Sunbeam model. It is too easy to use! The recipes that came with it are fantastic. I LOVE the quickbread option. Fresh bread from start to finish in 50 minutes! I made several loaves for family and they could not beleive how good it was and that it was home made! (I didn't mention it was my new breadmaker!) It has lots of different settings. I've used the dough option for making fresh dough for pizzas and rolls and artisan breads. I haven't had a bad loaf yet!I did get another breadmaker cookbook to go with it. It has more options for Italian bread, french bread, etc. This is a great product and I recommend it for easy and delcious home-made bread!

Question: Where are the lids?

All the other ads included lids. If you look at the packaging photo, there's lids on it. If you look CLOSER, you'll see there are no lids included. So when you think you have a good deal, you actually don't. So I ordered the lids separately only to find that if I had gotten the ones that came with lids, I would have saved money. The pitfalls of shopping on Amazon I guess. On the plus side, the cups are just fine and the lids do fit and don't leak. The best part is, as Americans, we can exercise our God-given right to use and toss. I'm cheap, so I rinse and re-use. LOL.

Question: What is used to stir the Cream of Wheat into the boiling water?

I make Cream of Wheat about once a week (more if I'm sick) and it requires a whisk to stir it into the boiling water so it doesn't lump together. Having non-stick pots, meant I was using a large non metal spoon which left lumps in my Cream of Wheat. This whisk is perfect. No scratches on pot and mixes well, no lumps. It also washes up nicely in the dishwasher. I like this so much, I would buy it to be included with a kitchen themed gift (think bridal showers or weddings).

Question: what product did the writer buy?

I really like this organizer. I have a sponge, OXO Palm brush, and a bottle brush, and this organizer keeps them all readily available. It looks great next to my stainless sink and does exactly what it is intended.The only problem I have with this is that it rusts very easily. Considering you're always putting wet sponges and cleaning utensils on it, you'd think it would be made of good stainless steel. Unfortunately, this means I am constantly using rust remover to keep this thing looking new. Other than that, this organizer is great.

Question: How did the reviewer wash the mat?

After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat. Even after flat storage, these mats do not lose their cylindrical longing. Due to the curvature, using these mats is difficult for chopping items such as onions, herbs, or any lighter object that will slip off. I have to hold the mats flat with one hand ..making chopping almost impossible.

Question: How much is a set of potholders?

I had some cloth potholders and I had a set of ove gloves. One of my ove gloves was getting ratty and old and i tossed it. Since they are $19.99 a piece I thought I would give these less expensive ($11 a set) potholders a try. I like the silicone products as they are very heat resistant. These are nice that you can take something out of the oven and use the pot holder as a trivet. However you must be careful because it can be difficult to bend the squares and they don't fold evenly. What I tend to do is pull one side out by the edge and place the other potholder underneath the dish and move it to the table that way rather than grip each end. It's impossible to take something out of the toaster oven because the racks are too close and you'll either burn your hand or melt the pot holder. I do find them very useful for say a skillet on the stove top that you can just wrap around it. Overall I think I will get myself a new ove glove as the other one is now getting pretty bad too.

Question: Which product has so many negative reviews?

Having read so many negatives, I couldn't believe we are talking about the same product. I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years. I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. I have not had any bad luck with it. Maybe I wasn't expecting a Rolls Royce for the price I paid - but it has certainly paid for itself many, many times over.

Question: What is the brand?

We have 3 dogs and I also foster dogs, plus 2 cats and 2 teenagers. I vacuum every day, because I have to. This is my second Hoover, and like the first, this one has excellent suction. In fact it's disturbing how much dirt and hair come up. Yuck.THE GOOD:+ Excellent suction as described above+ Height-adjustable+ Power cord - 25' long+ Bagless, which I like but not everybody does+ Hose doesn't kink+ On board tools so they don't get lost, and they do stay on.THE BAD:- Not "steerable" and pretty heavy- I hate how the hinged canister-lid opens. It swings open as the dirt pours out, invariably getting a lot of dirt on it. There must be a cleaner way.BOTTOM LINE:* Nothing fancy but really really strong suction that works on pet hair.

Question: How does the product appear after being clawed by cats?

The color is a little darker than I was looking for and it's thinner than I thought it would be. My kitties have clawed it a few times and it looks a little worn. However if you don't have pets who jump up on the table and want a basic tablecloth you can wipe clean this will work.

Question: What product is the person reviewing?

The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers. But I'd also like a decent cup o' joe, thank you. I tried this with my favorite French Roast expecting this to be like the "socks" popular in Latin America. I used what I thought was a generous measure and was careful that my water was boiling hot. I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip.Think this might be great for brewing tea, so I'll hang on to it for the next time I'm sick

Question: What was the blender purchased for

i cook a lot of indian food, and many recipes call for pureeing various spices, chilis, and other vegetables into a paste. this is what i bought this blender to do. much as i love my food processor, it doesn't really turn out a smooth puree, especially with small amounts of material.this blender has failed completely to puree anything. i even tried to make hummus, and all the machine did was thow the ingredients onto the side of the jug and spin the blades uselessly. maybe it would puree a very liquid vegetable soup, but that's not what i bought it to do.

Question: The rack fits neatly back into what?

Decided on buying this drying rack after reading some reviews about wooden racks. People complained that they broke, got mildew and were hard to assemble etc. Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. No assembly needed just take it out the box, set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. Construction is sturdy and durable. Easy clean up...I just used a damp cloth to wipe it down. When closed the drying rack takes up very little space and fits neatly back in the box.The item arrived as promised and in good condition. I've used it once and am quite pleased.
