Question: when does the author update his review?

The Hoover is very well made, and to my surprise, right here in the USA. Of course some subassemblies are from Mexico etc., but still, it is nice to have something US made in the household. It cleans the carpets very well, although on stains and heavily soiled areas you do have to slow down drastically, and do the shampoo/dry cycle several times. However it does get everything but very dark and old stains out perfectly well. The holding tanks are somewhat mismatched, because you have to empty the dirty water tank before the cleaner solution tank goes dry, however, this is a very minor issue. I would highly recommend it.3/2008: Update after 2 years: The Hoover is still going strong, even after some abuse by "borrowers". This is a high quality machine, and our carpets are cleaner than they have ever been.

Question: When using this coffee maker, what sometimes leaks out of it?

I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. Our French Press is great but many mornings it's just one of us drinking and only one or two cups per day, so I bought this Kuerig product thinking it would be the answer. It is AN answer but the coffee it brews is not. I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak.If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. I reached up to the seal that would prevent the leakage and moved it down a bit but it still leaks.I could probably live with a little water leakage but not the sadly weak brew that results.I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) but this filter just doesn't do it.Perhaps there's too much filter screen and the water isn't allowed enough time in contact with the ground coffee. I've tried cutting the top bit off a K cup and placing it into the My K-cup, then dropping the provided filter in which seems to help, but not much.There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps.This item isn't worth it.

Question: What color is more pronounced in the product than its picture?

But you're probably not going to put this next to your "nice" furniture. The color difference between the baskets and the wood of the frame is pretty significant. Also, one of my shelves had a scratch/scuff -- if I were going to use this without the baskets, that would have been a problem. Last, it's quite a bit redder than it appears in the picture.That said, it was extremely easy to put together, and it's solid once it's together. It works for me, but don't buy it expecting a high-end quality category.

Question: What was expected from the board with the use of the oil?

It's disappointing that even after using mineral oil with each use this board it still cracked. Not that I thought it was very practical to need to take the extra step of oiling my cutting board after each use but I was hoping that by spending extra time initially I would make sure the board was well oiled and would last. Unfortunately, I still ended up with large cracks that make it all but unusable as a cutting board. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT, WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN NO WAY!

Question: How much does the Staffordshire Terrier weigh?

There is not a better power-nozzle available for pet hair. The Miele Capricorn with the 236 power-nozzle is the best way to win the never ending battle of cleaning pet hair.I have a 80 pound Staffordshire Terrier. No matter where I go, the pet hair follows. It is mission impossible to keep my house pet hair free. With as much vacuuming as we do in our house, (as well as a nice employee discount) I decided to get the best.I have always heard good things about Miele from my customers. Every customer that comes to our store I will ask them how their vacuums are working. Most vacuums I'll get the usual, I hate it, it sucks, it smells funny, etc. When I ask a Miele customer buying bags how they like their vacuum, 9 times out of 10 the answer is I LOVE IT! Never did I expect such enthusiasm from people about their vacuum. Only after hearing so many customers tell me how good their Miele was, and after seeing how few Miele repairs I was doing, did I become a believer myself.I have had the Miele Capricorn in my home for two years now. I have never had one problem with my vacuum. Vacuuming is never fun, but when you have a good vacuum, it becomes a lot less stressful of a task.The STB 101 hand held turbo brush is a must have weapon in the war of pet hair. This brush is ideal for my stairs and upholstery that seems to get covered in pet hair more then any other place.You will pay more money for a Miele, but the time you will save vacuuming is priceless.

Question: Did anyone recommend the blender?

We have had this blender for over five years now and it is an absolute workhorse and hands down the best blender for crushing ice. The construction of the blender is quite solid and the motor is powerful enough to handle anything you are looking to blend. The best feature by far: ice crushing. Recommended by Cooks Illustrated for this feature, this blender is incredible at crushing ice to the right consistency for a crushed-ice margarita, which, let's face it, is one of the best reasons to have a blender. Not to mention the fact that it is gorgeous in orange. A best buy for my kitchen for sure.

Question: What causes the mixer to stop stirring from time to time?

This is a great ice cream maker and does indeed do what it says. I have made tomato, green tea, avocado and sweet corn ice cream and they all tasted great! This is great for the type of people who like to try new recipes and make their own food products from scratch. This ice cream maker is also a good price, and easy to set up. There is one issue, which is that the mixer can sometimes freeze up and stop stirring. The combination of salt and ice causes the mixer to become too cold and it needs warming in order to get going again. This is simply a minor inconvenience and it was easy to fix.

Question: Is the item durable?

I bought this because I thought it would be worth it to get the knife block off of the counter. But, on second thought, I've decided to use it on the workbench assembly (ASIN: B00006RGKY) I just bought for screwdrivers.I would say that it's easy to dent. I received mine with a small dent on the top, then managed to put another dent in it since. The perforated surface is a double edged sword, but attractive nonetheless. And it's very strong. Its strength makes me wonder if it's safe for the blade edges of my knives. I've feared banging a knife against it and chipping, which is why I decided to use it in my shop instead.

Question: What country does the author reside in?

After reading all the glowing reviews for this timer I was very disappointed that when mine arrived it didn't work properly. The timer did count up and down but neither the sound nor the vibrate functions worked. In fact, the light didn't work either. I tried new batteries with no success. I guess I just got a lemon. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem with Amazon. I need only return it for a replacement or refund. However, I live in Australia and had the timer sent to me by an American sibling. The cost of sending it back to the States for a refund would be greater than the value of the timer.

Question: What was under the bubble wrap?

I ordered two of these shelving units for my loft and they arrived in one week. First, the boxes were not real bulky. The sender even wrapped extra bubble wrap around them. Second, I opened each box and each piece was wrapped in clear plastic. Everything was in each box, no missing parts. Third, the easiest way to assemble them is to screw in each bar first, only half way. Then snap the shelves in place. There is only a print out of the parts...no instructions. Then, after the shelf is standing with shelves in place, start to tighten each screw...but do not tighten it so hard as to strip it. Note: The extra bars are for extra support on the backside.

Question: From whom did the writer get the idea to use the casserole that way?

I ordered one of these covered casseroles to use as a salt crock. I fill it up with kosher salt and keep it right by the stove and find it to be the perfect size opening for me to snag a pinch of salt without it being outrageously big or too small. (If you watch a lot of Alton Brown like I do, you'll know how often he reaches for the kosher salt; now mine is actually convenient to reach and beautiful enough to leave out all the time!!!) It looks great sitting out on my counter where it is always left out. An even better benefit is that it matches with the other Le Creuset products I have in my kitchen. Is this thing made in China like others have suggested, sure, but for the price, I found the quality to be right on par with my expectations!

Question: How many free bags are included?

These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk. They're fingerprint proof and include 3 FREE BAGS for you to use. There's a plastic insert in the trash can to allow for easily hiding the trash bags and for holding the bags in place. If you'd prefer not to buy the Simple Human trash bags, you can use grocery store bags or if you're REALLY feeling adventurous, you could skip the bag and just wash the plastic insert after you throw out it's contents in a different room. (Ex. The kitchen as that one really should have a bag and be much larger)

Question: What was the reviewer's first problem with the iron?

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).

Answer: leaky water during steaming

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. <hl> The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. <hl> The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.

Question: How long has the author been using the bags?

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

Question: What settle of the bottom of the water?

I got this to use with various loose-leaf teas from Teavana, as I was tired of needing to use the french press every time I wanted some. It works well enough, but the seal isn't very tight and as a result some of the smaller bits of the loose leaf made it into the water. Luckily, it settles at the bottom after a while, but it's still a little annoying. It's still usable, and it might be the case that this specific tea was a little finer than the ball was made for, so I'll be keeping it around regardless.

Question: Does the customer have any negative comments about the product?

Very happy with my Roomba 560. I have hardwood floors with a few area rugs and so far, I am finding that the Roomba is perfect for me - I am amazed at the amount of schmutz it picks up, even if it does take a while to do the job. It has gotten stuck a few times under the edge of the couch, but I will be remedying that by raising the couch slightly so it can get under and out without any difficulty. Mine is a remanufactured Roomba, and so far no problems whatsoever. After registering my Roomba online with iRobot, I received an automatic 15% discount on any Roomba accessories - I purchased the remote control with my discount and should be receiving it in a few days. Because the Roomba is a spendy item, I will keep this review updated as necessary, but am hoping they will only be positive updates. Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company ("BuyHappier"), I don't think I will be unhappy at all. So far, I am happy to recommend this item wholeheartedly!

Question: What does it do?

We are in love with our Roomba. The Roomba does as is promised. Much like all of the reviews we read before purchasing, we experience that the robot takes its own path appearing erratic; however, it cleans the entire floor. For large rooms (like our open floor plan living / dining kitchen) you should definitely use the included virtual wall. It works well. The first 3-4 times we used it, we just watched in awe as the Roomba cleaned our floor. You should definitely clean the brushes once a week or so, but that's an easy task compared to sweeping entire rooms. Roomba will also easily encourage you to keep your rooms tidy. it's much easier to concentrate on keeping big items off the floor than sweeping the entire floor daily. Roomba has taught us tidier habits and has keep our hardwoods grime free. We have several friends who have their Roombas on order!

Question: What came apart?

I was at first very impressed with the cutting board. After I had it for a few months, the planks began to separate on one side. It warped; and I was faithfully wiping it with cutting board oil after each use, and I never submerged it into the water. I would not recommend wood for a cutting board, go with the white poly cutting boards instead. I ended up purchasing a Stanton Trading 15 by 20 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board later on. It's much better.

Question: How long does it take to charge the battery?

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: what additional software does the writer need for the old computer?

I finally got around to using the attachments to clean out the inside of my old computer. I bought it at a local computer shop about five years ago. It had been made for someone who never picked it up. I was going to get rid of it because it kept cutting off. I decided to take off the cover and see if there was something I could do. I figured, I couldn't hurt it, so why not. There was a unit inside with a fan attached (not the one on the power box). It was packed with so much gunk that I could not clean with q tips. This attachment worked wonderfully! I vacuumed out all the accumulated dust as well. It appeares to be fine. I will see and if it remains ok I will upgrade it. All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7. I can also use these attachments to clean other things as well. They are worth every penny I paid for them.

Question: Why did the author choose not to receive it?

I had the truck return it, before it arrived. All other reviewers stated that it is flimsy and that the back of it can not be put behind a sofa, because it is not finished. Also, reviews indicate that it is not sturdy, and may have to be strapped to a wall. I decided not to receive it, since I have a cat that jumps on my furniture, and I don't want it coming down and hurting him. This is not a sturdy, piece of furniture.

Question: what tends to wear off of the pan

The good thing is they are cheap for 2. The bad thing is the coating wears off. I have the 12 inch in storage... too large to use daily. But the 10 inch coating has worn off and is chipping off. I need to throw this away... dangerous to injest this coating. My husband is not wanting me to toss the pan at the end of it's lifespann but I know it is not safe to eat from this now that it is chipping and peeling. What else works other than stainless steel? I want a durable pan that LASTS. I will use it 1-3 times a day. I like the idea of nonstick. Might have to go back to stainless steel.

Question: What's the drawback of this wok?

I am just amazed at this wok! I had just bought an electric wok this spring and while I like it (I think I reviewed it...) this Chefs Toolbox wok is much, much better quality.First, the wok is heavy-duty and has a top-of-the-line feel and look to it. If you wanted to give someone a wok as a Christmas or wedding gift, a moving out present..this would impress! It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. (Be sure to wash it with hot, hot soapy water before that first use, as with any cookware.) The cooking area goes from the flatter/bottom area of 7 inches to the top of the wok coming in at 14.5. The sides are pretty sloped. The handles have a nice, slightly brushed look to them and they are super solid. There is no fear of losing a handle or having trouble gripping these. I also love the flatness of the main part of the handle, it just feels nice, looks good, gives a professional quality.The steamer..dang..it is HUGE! If you like to steam ANYTHING at all, this is the way to go! As soon as I opened it I thought, wow!! I can toss all my old (broken, bent etc) cheap steamer baskets and use this to steam crab legs!! Yay! I just can't think of anything you could not steam with this. The base/cooking area is 14 inches, can you believe it!? The only thing is you could not use it for anything too small or fragile (like broccoli) because the holes themselves are big enough to easily put a pencil through. You could use foil to place food on though, if you wanted to.The lid is clear, a major improvement over most woks. I've actually never seen one with a clear lid before, so this will allow you to see your food without letting out heat. A nice feature.The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy. My electric wok is super light, but in the end, it feels like a cheap kitchen item compared to this. The Chefs Toolbox's weight makes it feel like what you paid for it. Again, this would make a great gift and a super addition to any kitchen.Sheri Gill

Question: Who gives the pressure cooker rave reviews?

Okay this is a bit pricey. It is worth it in my opinion. America's Test Kitchen highly recommends this pressure cooker. I have been working my way thru their Pressure Cooker Perfection Cookbook. This pressure cooker works excellently. Virtually every recipe I have attempted has turned out very well and quickly. If you need to simmer your dish after bringing the cooker down for pressure, the glass lid comes in handy. Some of the dishes I have cooked in this cooker, have left mild staining in the interior. I just use BarKeepers Friend and it restores the finish. I often use my parents Presto cooker when i am at their home and I have good results with that cooker as well. ATK recommends that you get to know your cooker and I am beginning to know this Fissler. I have absolutely no safety concerns when using this pressure cooker. Just make sure you follow the instructions. What a time saver!!!!

ATK recommends that you get to know your cooker and I am beginning to know this Fissler. I have absolutely no safety concerns when using this pressure cooker. Just make sure you follow the instructions. What a time saver!!!!


Question: What is the failing of the carafe?

We bought this atrocity 8 months ago. the thermal carafe does not keep the coffee hot for starters. The idiot who designed the program feature is laughing the whole way tot he bank. The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. the clock and auto program function are so ridiculous it is annoying. I would steer clear of this machine. Oh yes, and the top of the carafe doe snot come apart to clean. Again, Do NOT buy this lousy machine.

Question: How long has the reviewer have the Copco cup for?

I love the Copco Cup. I've had mine for about two years now and I just ordered a second. They are sturdy and as a bonus can go straight in the microwave. The lid can be a little picky, but as an adult it's as simple as putting the lid down and screwing it on tight. A child might have an issue, but then again the hole in the lid would create a mess for children too. My other cups cannot go in the dishwasher which is super irritating, but this cup cleans up in a snap and does not hold on to smells from coffee, tea or cocoa.**Update: I've purchased another Copco Cup and I had horrible problems with it. The lid simply would not stay put. I contacted the company and they kindly sent me another cup at no charge. They were so nice! The only problem is the new cup doesn't work either. For some reason this specific cup does not seem to want to keep its lid closed. The older version works fine, but the newer version with the plastic ring in the lid doesn't work at all. I contacted Copco again and they were willing to either send me a different cup or refund my money. I opted for the refund and will be purchasing a different cup altogether.

Question: What is the Henckels Pro S hollow-ground santoku?

I have the Henckels Pro S hollow-ground santoku, and it's definitely the best item in my kitchen. I've had it over a year and it just now needs to be professionally sharpened (of course, we do keep up with the sharpening steel every few uses). It slices through everything like it's warm butter, and items fall away from the sides. It feels solid and well-balanced in my hand, and the weight helps the slicing. The only caution I would share is that if you hold the knife properly (thumb and side of the index finger on the sides of the blade, last three fingers wrapped around the handle), be careful of the "dull" bolster area; I actually cut myself on this part of the knife the first time I used it! I used my steel to file down the sharp edges and haven't had any problems since. Overall, this was the best $80 I've ever invested in my culinary education!

Question: What is the reviewer's recommendation?

If you've used the longer cooking chopsticks before these have a similar feel. They're metal with a heavy silicon coating. Multi-functional and agile, not clumsy like regular larger tongs. I tend to hold these with a more chopstick-like grip when working with delicate items as it provides more control and precision, such as stuffed mushrooms. These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts, though I have not done a test of this. I find myself using these often for things such as stir-frying, serving noodles, handling scallops, and even chicken nuggets. I recommend these to everyone looking for silicon tongs when precision is important, build and material quality are excellent.I will update when I have used these for heavier items.

Question: What feature is an aid in being able to read better?

The dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily. The housing seem to be made of good quality materials. I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial.

Question: How many months ago did the user receive the product?

I bought these at the same time as two extra 1 liter bottles and after the order was processed, I started questioning myself if these were really needed or not. Well, you know what? I use these pretty much daily now and haven't even touched the extra liter bottles I got yet and it's been three months. These are the perfect size for me. I dislike making a ton of carbonated water just to have it sit in the fridge and go flat. If I'm going to make it at home, I'm going to make it to order and these bottles are perfect for that. I also love that they fit perfectly in my purse or my car drink holder. I can take them anywhere!

Question: What is the reviewer's first complaint about the oven?

I had high hopes for this little oven as I am a widow and it seemed like the perfect appliance for one person. First of all, it takes much more time to cook everything than is advertised. I can cook food on conventional stove, electric grill, or microwave faster and more efficient than this oven. The grill is placed too far from the heating element so browning is never accomplished. Finally, whenever you are finished cooking an item and attempt to remove the dome from the base, it comes apart in your hand and the dome becomes disconnected from the power head. I have burned myself twice from this occurring. I know a lot of people have given rave reviews on this item, maybe their expectations are lower than mine. At any rate, this is a disappointment to me and I am returning it..

Question: What did the board get anyway?

It's disappointing that even after using mineral oil with each use this board it still cracked. Not that I thought it was very practical to need to take the extra step of oiling my cutting board after each use but I was hoping that by spending extra time initially I would make sure the board was well oiled and would last. Unfortunately, I still ended up with large cracks that make it all but unusable as a cutting board. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT, WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN NO WAY!

Question: How many stars would you give this utensil holder?

I do love the look of this utensil holder, but it only works well if you have it fully loaded. While I'm sure your kitchen is like mine and has plenty of utensils to stuff it with, if you don't you might want to avoid it...they will pop out of all of the slots in the side (this happened to me while transferring from my previous holder). I gave this 3 stars since they could have easily fixed this by putting another 1/2 to 1 inch metal band around the inside of it (it's currently around 3/8 an inch or so). This wouldn't affect the asthetics much and would make it a much better product.

Question: How many stars did they leave after editing their review?

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

Question: What was the rating for the product overall?

I have both a machine shop as well as a cafe, and I can vouch for this product being well made, for the most part.The canister itself is not just stamped, but spun then all threads are machined. These are very expensive operations and I am impressed with that arrived for a reasonable price.The charge cap is also made heavy duty, however, there is a pressure relief hole drilled at the end and the burrs were left inside. I know it is difficult to remove these burrs but not impossible. The hole is drilled in a corner and out of the way, but anything can happen which COULD puncture a charger accidentally. Perhaps this was just the one I got, but who knows?The threads on the canister was nicely machined, but there are a couple threads that look like before or after the thread cutting operation were done, the tool came down and cut away some of the threads. Only 2 out of 4-5 threads are affected which might mean the machine operator was able to stop the program before it cut all the way through. After examining the product, I wouldn't see any intentional purpose for these. This shows poor workmanship in the part programming and manufacturing departments, but doesn't seem to affect performance at all.Because of these two things, I rated this product a 3 instead of a 4.The trigger is a little wide and not too ergonomic but not horrible.Keep in mind that after the canister is charged, the first squeeze will come out a little watery and runny, but that may be due to the water from washing the canister before use. After that, foamed foods come out perfectly.Also keep in mind NOT to use 12g chargers. They are about an inch longer than the 8g chargers and won't fit the included charger cylinder. The 8g chargers are appropriate for this product.You may end up purchasing at least two of these, as you may want, for example, one for a mousse and one for whipped cream. Otherwise you will probably need to use up all your mousse, clean the canister and make whipped cream. This is my next step; order another one.

Question: What metal is the peeler made out of?

I'm tired of using cheap, plastic peelers. So I got this peeler. A strong stainless steel peeler to last. And dishwasher safe too! I'm a big fan of my new dishwasher, so I'm looking to upgrade everything to be dishwasher compatible. Stainless steel does better than plastic. IN terms of peeling, this peeler actually can slice very thin. It's an easy way to peel skins, or even make potato chips. It's easy to use, and comes in a pair so you can keep one clean at all time, or give one to a friend.Overall, this is an easy to use peeler on fruits, and vegetables and strong and should last for a long time.

Question: Why did I buy a glass shaker?

I initially bought this because I wanted a glass shaker for oil and vinegar dressing, trying to swear off all plastic containers. I not only bought 1 I bought 2 for good measure. I also weight lift so the second one I use for standard protein shakes. It works very well. It's a little small and doesn't afford a lot of room, but can still get a two scoop of protein mix shake done. Mine do not leak, I know that some others have said theirs did and if that's the case you should return them. If they made a larger version I would defiantly buy it.Negatives (even though I didn't remove any stars): One of the first two I received was broken, it was very poorly packaged and the replacement was very well packaged and was perfect. Secondly the cap that goes over the spout is a little awkward but it works. Still love them none the less.
