Question: What kinds of skills are needed when setting up the air conditioner?

Installing this air conditioner is a big project. You will need a couple of strong guys with tools who have several hours to spare and skills in building and installation. Also, since this will take several hours, you will need to provide refreshments.Once the unit was installed, tested and found to be working, we turned it off and are now waiting for hot weather. The guys are looking forward to having the man cave cool this summer.I love that this unit is an Energy Star product , which conserves energy. Our electric company offers a rebate on Energy Star products, be sure and check with yours. In past years we have received tax credits for buying Energy Star items, we will have to wait and see if they offer anything this year.

Question: What does the authors wife call them?

Wusthof knifes are the best knifes made as far as I can tell. Tried others but nothing beats Wusthof. Well balanced and razor sharp. I bought 2 Wusthof Gourmet knifes trying to save some money but wished I would have just bought the Wusthof Classic instead. As far as I can tell it was a waste of money buying the Gourmet knifes.The Gourmet knifes are made of stamped steel not forged from a single blank of high carbon steel. The Wusthof Classic just holds an edge better and longer. So don't be cheap and breakdown and spend the extra money it will be worth it in the long run.My wife tells me I'm a knife snob now. I don't care and we now have 12 Wusthof Classic knifes. I told my wife those Wusthof Gourmet knifes have got to go but she tells me no and just calls me a knife snob. One day there going to come up missing. ;)

Question: where can you put the whisk to clean it?

At 50-something, my hands are beginning to ache, but I still cook, though sometimes I get my son to open jars for me. This whisk is great because it is soft on the hand and doesn't require much pressure to control it. It also happens to be a great whisk, doing what a whisk should do and doing it well. Then, when you are done, you can pop it on the top rack to clean. What more could you ask for?

Question: For the price, which is a great deal?

I also have a DC27 which is heavy and I don't really like as the connector hose between the power head and the vacuum keeps disconnecting and the extension hose is tight which is why I got this one. The Hoover is much lighter and has a longer & more flexible hose but to use the handheld part, you have to manually disconnect and then reconnect the hose. To get the long hose, you need to connect in the hose extension as well. The Dyson sucks from the power head when the handle is tilted (assuming the hose underneath hasn't come undone) and from the wand when locked upright which is superior when it works. For the price, the Hoover is a great deal but frankly I would have returned it if I hadn't already put all the packaging into the recycle bin.

Question: How many glasses did the reviewer buy?

These glasses I picked up because I wanted to experiment with some Absinthe mixes. With my large ice cube tray, these seemed the perfect glass for it. I did not want to just get a normal set of glasses, something you might get at the "Red Bullseye" store. Or even just something cheap. Granted these are not the most expensive out there, but they are Made in Germany, and the reviews spoke of it being solid, and had durability and some weight.When I got them, they were nice clear, solid glasses with the right width. All 6 were in perfect shape and shipped well. I never heard of the company Spiegelau, but I really like the glasses. They feel good in the hand. They show off the drink well. I wanted a good glass and I got a good glass. So I am happy with them.

Question: What did the person use to cut the iceberg lettuce?

I bought a huge quantity of iceberg lettuce on sale for the sole purpose of testing this! I washed and chopped the lettuce with my plastic lettuce knife and loaded quart mason jars. I set the lid on and sealed the jar. I set them in the fridge, all over the place, just because we all know some parts are colder than others! A week later, and the lettuce looks like it did the day a brought it home! No rust, no wilt, just perfect lettuce! I have even resealed jars after haven taken lettuce out to eat! Oh my gosh, I wish I had bought this years ago! Can't live without my food saver, bags and jar sealers now! I'll update and let you know how long the lettuce lasts if it lasts long enough before getting eaten!

Question: what is the perfect length

i purchased this for cooking pizzas when we go RVing. i use a camp chef stove and recently purchased their pizza oven. haven't tried the oven yet, but it's clear that if you buy that you will need one of these "peels" (oversize spatula) to get things in and out. i really like this size. the flat spatula part is nicely sized, thick enough not to bend, but thin enough so that it'll be easy to get pizzas (or other) on and off. the handle is the perfect length! it'll get your items in and out of any residential or camp oven, but it's no so long as to make it a storing hassle. i thought the price was very reasonable too.

Question: How long did it take to make a fine powder with the product?

I bought this unit mainly for grinding dry spices. I used to grind them in a mortar and pestle which usually takes about 10-15 minutes with pain and agony, and that didn't even do the job. With this grinder, I load the spices in...boom, boom and boom - literally 3 pushes, I got beautiful spices ground to fine powder in about 7 SECONDS! The amazing thing about this grinder is that it doesn't use sharp blades, it's more like a propeller and I like it because it's safe contact with my fingers when being cleaned.This is an incredible grinder at an unbeatable low price, I might as well buy another one to grind coffee beans (perhaps in black), I bought this model in white.Pros:*Light/Compact and does what it suppose to do*Acceptable noise level (not as loud as expected)*Stylish Design*Best Value/Price*Safe and sound, no sharp blades to deal with when cleaning.Cons:*Fine powder particles tend to stick to and under the propeller area which makes it a bit hard to clean (for this, I will buy a small brush to do the job).*Grind button from cap which connects to body device seems a bit flimsy, not sure how long this will hold up.*Power Cord is a bit short (apprx. 2 feet)

Question: What is unbelievable?

I like this pillow. The odor was very faint and I did not feel the need to air it. Like other reviewers have stated, it is longer than a queen size pillow case. Luckily I happen to have a king size pillow case that I can use. The included cover is also very nice and soft. The High Loft Plush is unbelievably soft. I was quite surprised by the softness and feel of it.This pillow compresses significantly. I'm use to sleeping on a low pillow, a memory foam contoured pillow, but noticed that I usually sleep with one hand under the memory foam pillow, perhaps to prop it up to a more comfortable height. I was hoping for more height and will be ordering the High Loft Firm to see if it will be higher.You'll love the high loft plush:1. For it's unbelievable softness.2. If you like to scrunch your pillow.3. If you're use to a low height pillow.

Question: What makes it Russian?

Alice May Brock is quoted as saying:Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian;Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian;Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good.And Zyliss garlic press makes it oh so easy (and unmessy) to get the garlic where you need it! Don't even have to peel the garlic!(Caution: the cleaning tool (to get any remaining garlic out of the holes) is unidirectional. It does need to be lined up or you will break some of the plastic tines. But you rarely need to use it anyway, it's so simple to clean.)Even America's Test Kitchen loves this garlic press!

Question: How is the kitchen tool described as price wise?

I have already owned a couple of similar chopper/dicers. All were essentially plastic and did an adequate job on onions, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc. Equipped with a plastic cleaning tool and three cutting grids, its tray has measure lines of its side and when held vertically will provide an accurate measure.While this cuts fairly well and hand washes easily, my only concern are that all body components are plastic. Given my past experience, the plastic pieces are the first things to fatigue and when using you must not exert a lot of pressure on the handle to force fruits and vegetables through the cutting grids. This may result in breakage or fatigue.While this is a relatively inexpensive kitchen tool, I suggest contacting the manufacturer if problems arise. This item has a one year warranty. This is not a bad item, but it does have construction issues.

Question: What makes for a nice bath upgrade?

What makes the Pinzon Hotel Stitch Shower Curtain, Silver Blue, stand out is its stark whiteness. It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory.The curtain itself, when paired an inexpensive liner, makes a nice upgrade to one's bath, and if it proves truly washable, then its value is cinched. But the sheer expanse of white also poses a potential target for all manner of liquid soaps, shampoos, and rinses. The true test lines ahead in the heat of bathing.

Question: How many did they keep?

Bought two of these to use in my home. All of us have allergies to our pets and to pollen. My plan was to put these in the bedrooms so that we would have better quality sleep. Right out of the box we knew this wouldn't work - they are too loud. The first one we opened make a noticeable clicking sound that could be noticeably heard throughout the room. I figured it was a defective unit and opened the other one. It was even louder - the clicks could be heard in the next room over! Since these units were advertised as "whisper quiet" this wasn't acceptable. Both have been sent back. I did go to their site to download their manual and, according to their manual, a faint clicking sound is normal and a sign it is working. However there was no way we could have slept with even the quieter one in the room. They are simply too loud.

I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know). Seeing all the negative comments below about the Cuisinart, I sadly have to respond that all the flaws of the Cuisinart apply equally to the KitchenAid. Despite using the KitchenAid sparingly and with care, I have broken 2 bowls (at $40 + $9 S&H each) and one lid at $20 + S&H. Although the KitchenAid motor is well made, the plastic bowls are flimsy and poorly designed. In addition the bowl leaks down the side if liquid is blended. The lid is exceedingly hard to clean. Consequently, I am thinking of replacing my KitchenAid with the Cuisinart.

Question: What is the product large enough for?

This is an absolutely perfect size. It is not so big that you won't find a place to store it, but large enough to hold a bunch of angel hair pasta that would slip right out of the little holes in a traditional colander. It also fits over the sink so that I can pour the pasta (or whatever I'm draining) right into it, water and all, and have the water drain into the sink.It doesn't say in the description, but this is a double weave strainer. In other words, there are two layers of thin metal mesh to ensure even the smallest seeds and particles are caught in the net.It has a traditional soft black rubber Oxo handle, too. This is important when using it over the sink as it keeps it from slipping around when the water hits it.Nice!

Question: What does a good baking tool make for the process?

Most everyone loves a sweet treat and when the treat is made in your own oven, the freshness and flavor are often second to none. A good baking tool makes the process much simpler and this baking aid from Freshware is certainly one to consider buying. It helps create up to 30 shapely, delicious sweet treats from scratch, right in the comforts of home.Candy isn't usually baked in the home and part of the reason is the lack of appropriate baking molds. With this simple, silicone device, an individual can make candies that keep their form and look every bit as nice as they taste. With other baking sheets, the candy doesn't always hold itself together, but there is no problem with this Freshware mold. Each piece of candy pops out of the mold in perfect condition, like a work of art, ready to display on a plate and enjoy for dessert or a snack.This candy mold utilizes non- stick silicone and it is reasonably easy to clean. The flexibility makes it easy to pop the candies out of the molds without damage and that means less cleanup afterward. Other baking molds do not have a reliable non- stick surface like this one and not only does it lead to sloppy looking candies, it also means more scrubbing and scraping to remove the leftover bits of candy when cleaning. With this simple, inexpensive candy baking mold, there is little to do. A little warm water and minimal scrubbing/wiping and the job is complete.We usually prefer to buy candy already made but with this Freshware candy mold, creativity in the kitchen is more commonplace than before. Candy prepared with this baking mold looks and tastes great and for such a low price, you really cannot go wrong.

Question: How responsive was the company?

I purchased this item from mendingshed.com and noticed it was thinner than the one I was replacing. I figured that it said it was the replacement for my pressure cooker so I figured it would be OK. I was wrong! I'm glad I tried it with just water to be sure. Not sure what the return policy is here but where I purchased it they didn't even respond back to my correspondence. Would have purchased it here had I known they had it but then again, it may have been the thinner one also. Will most likely not use that pressure cooker any more but the next one I purchase I'll make sure I get 2 gaskets.

Question: What came rolled up in the box?

The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed. The pad gives her just enough softness. The cover comes in handy and fit just fine. It fits slightly smaller than the bed mattress but, as the instructions that came with the pad say, that allows for a better fit under mattress pads and sheets. Very happy with this product.

Question: What other kind of bars does the author say you can make?

We purchased this mold for soap making.It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches.Let it sit longer than you normally would before un-molding too if not you will lose some of the detail at the bottom of the mold. This mold is also tapered so it is wider on top than the bottom.When used properly it makes beautiful soap and lotion bars!

Question: What does the reviewer use mason jars for?

I love mason jars. I don't can any homemade jams or jellies or pickles, but I juice and then separate it into single servings in mason jars. When I'm ready to drink my juice lunch, I switch the flat disk part of the lid with Ecojarz Stainless Steel Drink Top for Small Mouth Canning Jars, put the band back on and voila, my mason jar is now a convenient to-go sippy cup (or I use the metal straw that comes with the Ecojarz) with my homemade juice or drink of choice. I recommend getting the Ball Color 6-Pack Lids and Bands, Blue to go with these. The aluminum lids are ok, but the blue version of them is gorgeous with these jars!

Question: What kind of grater did the author return it for?

I love Microplane products but this one is terrible. It is difficult to grate cheese; had to apply a lot of pressure and as a result the cheese got warm in my hand and became soft and mushy. I also tired to slice potatoes on the microplane side and this is probably worse than the cheese grating side. The potato went through the blade fine but got stuck on the black plastic that hold the blade in place. If you're looking for that all in one item, this just isn't it. I returned it and splurged on the WMF grater.

Question: Why doesn't the handle have flattened areas?

Only "complaint" is that the design makes it harder to hold onto. Since the handle is round and has no flattened areas, it tends to torque in your hands in certain cases. The design tries to make up for this by the slight curvatures in the handle, but it doesn't quite address the torquing issue.

Question: what other ways is the product used besides cleaning 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: What is Braun suffering from as a company?

Amazon customer service was excellent, as I had to return the first Braun due to excessive beater wobble and a funky motor, but a replacement was sent immediately. Unfortunately the new Braun wasn't too much better....the beaters still have considerable wobble and the motor still sounds like a very small model airplane. I have to say that Braun seems to be just one more company that is suffering from a bad case of quality slippage. However, the mixer works and no bits and pieces have gone flying off across the kitchen, so things could be worse. Will I buy Braun again...no.

Question: What is the product being described?

I got this to go in our bathroom. We have a tile shower with a built in seat and I did not want to drill holes in the tile. Most tension caddys look cheap and fragile or are made of cheap chrome or have plastic shelves that collect mold or chrome shelves that rust. We have not had a tension caddy before but asked friends how theirs held up over time and most with chrome complained about rust. One friend pointed me to this product she has one and has had no rust problems.This is an aluminum pole with stainless steel adjustable shelves. It was well packed and easy to assemble and install. I was able to do it alone with no help from my husband. We have a very high ceiling and I found a spot on the shower seat that was perfect and it positioned securely on the first try. I looks great like a high quality item and it holds a lot. The shelves have to be put on before installation but can be adjusted once installed. It has a five year warranty from the manufacturer.This is a quality product, worth the money.

Question: The interior of the kettle is what?

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: What else could the mitts be used for?

Unequivocally, the best oven (and BBQ) mitts ever. Great flexibility, great gripping ability, and fantastic insulation quality. Most of the other silicone mitts I've tried in the past, are stiff. Not these. The flexibility is fantastic. You actually maintain a good 'feel' of the items you are handling. You barely feel the warmth when removing hot dishes from the oven, even when cooking at a hot temperature. This is one of my favorite gifts for housewarmings, newlyweds, family and friends. As an added bonus, I've found that these are excellent for opening those stubborn jar lids. Nice multi-tasking (LOL).

Question: What did he buy?

I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers. The tongs are decent quality, but they do not open wide enough to pick up most food. For example, mini quiches. I planned to use these with a tray of mini quiches (like the kind you buy frozen from the grocery store), but the tongs open only about half as wide as the quiches themselves. These tongs would be most useful for very thin items, like slices of meat or cheese. Honestly, they do not even open wide enough to use with a tray of crudités. The tongs are sturdy, but it does feel as if they might break if you tried to open them any wider than they already are. Overall I am happy with these tongs, I will just plan to use them for much smaller items in the future.

It still does what it's supposed to, so no complaints. I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet.

Question: How long does a charge last?

Yes, you have to keep the button pushed in, but it is so not a big deal considering what you get in return (and you get used to it). I can whip through the kitchen in a flash. I can nearly clean the entire downstairs. It's worth it to me to use this, even though the charge doesn't last more than 10-15 minutes. Why? Because the convenience and suction power are incredible! The way it moves, the places it gets into. It's just a powerful, handy tool. I almost didn't buy it, based on some of the reviews. Yes, my arm did get sore the first few times I used it. But again, what you get in return is well worth it. Money well spent! Better than my Miele, more handy than my robotic vaccuum ever was. Because all I ever have is 5-10 minutes to clean my floor, it better get the job done quick! (And, it's fun.)

Question: Where did the author purchase this product?

I am in desperate need of long lasting battery operated fans. Have two of the older 02 cool rechargeable fans in which the rechargeable batteries stopped working after 3 months (apparently overcharged!) but at least with the 8 D batteries, you get nearly 5 days all night (when the power goes out). This one never worked on batteries, only AC. I did not buy it over Amazon but at BB&B;, but the exact same model.I didn't even try rechargeable D's because you never get enough uumph from them, but two different brand names (both considered the best) and brand new. Not even a peep. Returned once, same thing with the second. I didn't have the energy to return again. Obviously from the other reviews, others had good luck with this fan, but for me, I need to feel more confident that a product works. Somewhere there has to be a better fan that doesn't take 8 D batteries.On the other hand, I have not had good luck with any battery operated fan other than the rechargeable one, despite the loss of the rechargeable batteries after only a few months. I still use them at least.Amazon--please try to find a really good one that will work reliably that doesn't take so many darn heavy batteries.

Question: How many people live in that house?

I bought these to use instead of paper plates. Since its just the two of us, I started using paper to avoid either running a half full dishwasher or hand washing dishes. I decided to give these a try. They're great. They're so much lighter that it's not a big deal to wash out and plop into the drainer. Plus, due to the size, you can fit your entire meal along with a roll onto the same plate without crowding.I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too.

Question: what are the cups attached together with?

I recently bought a plastic set of measuring cups and after taking them out of the dishwasher found that the marked measurements had washed off! The measurements on these cups are on the handle and made of raised plastic so they won't wash off.I love how sturdy they feel and they are just the right weight. Very comfortable to hold.One con is that they do not have any other measurement on them, so the one cup only measures one cup ( I do like cups that include smaller measurements inside)The cups come together on a plastic ring, but are easily detachable. A good buy!

Question: How long have they been using the product?

I tried these years ago and they work just great. You do have to be a little cautious when buying some of the off brands, but I have had no problem with these. There have been times, because of the frame and the size of the picture that I have had to modify the hook to bring the picture a little closer to the wall, but that's the worst I can say and even then, I continue to buy the product because it's so easy to use and so successful at holding the pictures in place without destroy the wall or having pictures fall.

Question: How much did this product cost originally?

I only came across this product because I'm looking to buy a replacement for it. Before you think I'm ridiculous for rating it 5 stars, let's just say I have had this hot pot for 9 1/2 years, and it has served me well. The water boils much faster than heating on a stove-top kettle. I use it to boil water for hot chocolate, tea, etc. It recently started making sparks when I heat up the water, so I figured it's time for a new one. I think I only paid about $10 for this at Linens n Things when I first purchased it, so I can't say that it wasn't $10 well-spent.

Question: What is large and shows what is happening?

I think the best thing about the American Innovative Portable Dual-Timer is the batteries! We have a total of 3 kitchen timers lurking in a drawer waiting for those flat round batteries that we never remember to buy! This nifty timer takes two AAA batteries. We always have that size around as our remotes require the same. I had a challenge opening the door to insert the included batteries: "use fingernail(some force required)". Don't use your fingernail, carefully use the tip of a knife, as I did! The other "tool" required is an open paperclip, used to press the very tiny button in order to set the Clock, a simple and easy procedure. Once all that was accomplished, on to playing with the other features of the timer....the Dual(2) Countdown timers work beautifully, either with buzzer, or the vibration mode. The screen is large and shows what is happening. Haven't used Stopwatch or the Keypad Lock yet, no reason, but figure it will be fine. The unit has a sturdy belt clip if you need to move around, and the strong magnet will rest snugly on a metal surface for easy access. I did not see any OFF button(to save battery life), and usually have it set on the Clock when not in use! Hopefully, I did not miss something. Anyway, it is a great little multi-talented Timer!

Question: What utensil does the author prefer to use?

In our household, we use long spoons for everything: ice cream (even out of the pint container <g>, ice-cream sodas and tall glasses, smoothies, health drinks, and, of course, iced tea. And we use them to get to the bottom of tall cat and dog food cans, tomato sauce jars . . . just about everything! Teaspoons would have us holding on by our fingertips, so we need the length.These smooth spoons have a nice feel and fit on the lip. The bowl of the spoon is shallow enough that you don't leave ice-cream or peanut butter on the spoon--it all gets into your mouth.I'm very happy with the extra long handle length--about an inch and a half longer than my other, older "iced-tea spoons". And the price is excellent.My only complaint is that they are connected tightly to a piece of cardboard by covered wire. The wire was tedious to remove. One wire was broken and will require pliers to remove it because it is wrapped tightly around the neck of the spoon. Nevertheless, I will order more.

Question: What else has to be checked beside measurements of the baking sheets?

I do quite a bit of baking. I was using old aluminum baking sheets which I have probably had for 30 years. I always figured it wasn't worth buying new ones because it wouldn't change the taste or outcome of anything I baked. Well, the new sheets don't make anything look or taste different, but, man, do they make baking easier. I made several dozen cookies for Christmas. No greasing the baking sheet, no spraying it, no parchment on it. Just put the cookies on the sheet and put it in the oven. No stick at all. And clean up was a simple wipe off with warm soapy water and rinse. I wish I'd done this sooner.In response to some reviews, please have the sense to check the measurements of the baking sheets, which are stated, and the size of your oven. Many newer ovens, particularly those with convection fans in the back, are smaller than ovens used to be. This was the size I wanted which fits perfectly in my oven. Please make sure before you buy that they fit in your oven.

Question: What is a problem with the glasses?

I have purchased Fred Cool Products in the past to make ice. When I saw that they had a mold for Shot Glasses I knew I would give it a try. Ok making ice is pretty basic but these tips I have learned the hard way. First I start out using bottled water and I pour nice and slow so the mold is even. Make sure that you pour evenly and that you have a flat spot in the freezer so they freeze evenly. I than wait 6 hours. I get a plastic bag out and put the tray over it than I gently hit the tray with hammer to help the shooters come out and than I catch them in the bag (I had lots fall out and end up on the floor before i started catching them in a bag.The glasses are a hit for all my friends but remember these are for shots not sipping. Pour a drink and do the shot unless you are using a chilled beverage your glass will start melting instantly. Also, remind your guests to disgard the glasses into the sink once they are done or once again you will have a mess. I have done glasses with coke and poured rum in, I have also kool-aid and poured vodka in. I encourage people to lick the glass and than do the shot.These glasses solve the problem of what to do for big parties and limited shot glasses just start a week ahead you can have as many glasses as you need. Everyone will talk about it and it really adds a sense of fun to your parties.

Question: What sale did the user take advantage of when buying this product?

This is comfortable - the kind of step-on-it-with-barefeet-and-notice comfortable.About the same time this was a lightning deal, I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store. It was nice. Then the GelPro came, and there actually was a large difference.It has been 2 weeks of using both in the kitchen,and I like the GelPro more. I am still debating if I like it the full it-costs-4-times-as-much more, but the very fact that I can't make up my mind (factoring in that cost) tells me how very good the GelPro is.It seems to be well made - I haven't found any flaws - and that ooohhh comfort I feel every time hasn't diminished. If I can still say so in 6 months, then I would have to say the higher cost was justified. If you can afford the difference, then get it.
