Question: What retailer did the person use for purchase of their new blender?

Recently my husband and I upgraded most of our small appliances and cookware. We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender, figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. We bought an Osterizer for dirt cheap at a local kitchen supply store and were not impressed with its capabilities. At this point I thought about buying the Kitchenaid but wanted to wait a little while, since the price was rather more than we wanted to pay for a blender.Around Christmas my husband and I visited back home. His grandparents have the Kitchenaid 5-speed blender. We were quite impressed with its capabilities in making a great mudslide; although there were still tiny ice chips in the drink, the blender did quite well in mixing everything very smoothly and with a minimum amount of noise (for a blender anyway).I was able to find one of these wonderful blenders refurbished through Amazon. Since I had earned a couple of gift certificates through my Amazon Visa card I got this for practically nothing. I must say, this would still be worth it even if I did pay full price. Even though it is refurbished it looks like new, and works great. The past few nights my husband and I have enjoyed the same great mudslides that we had in California, and I'm giving away my old Osterizer.Another impressive thing about this blender is its sturdiness. With the glass and the strong base, I'm not worried about this breaking; I was worried about that with all of the flimsy plastic of the Osterizer. When trying to make smoothies on the Osterizer I always kind of winced, afraid that it might blow up at any second. I don't worry about this with the Kitchenaid; this is very obviously a sound appliance.If you are in a money crunch, it's probably best to wait until Amazon has a refurbished model of this blender available; the only visible difference is it comes in a box that states that the product is refurbished. Also you usually won't have your pick of colors; you'll only be able to choose whatever color they have available. But whatever the price this is a great blender and you won't regret the purchase.By the way, I did A LOT of comparison shopping at other sites before I found the refurbished model here at Amazon; Amazon does have the best price on new models that I found, even without the current rebate that Kitchenaid is offering.

Question: Where did they store the vacuum?

I've only had the vac for a day or so but tested it by using it on all carpets and hardwood floors in the house. Battery held up with plenty of charge...don't know how much longer it would go....and it cleaned both carpets and floors very well. I had used our central vac a week ago and I still filled the container twice. I then took the handle off and used it on the furniture and it picked up a lot of dust and lint. Being able to turn the brushes on and off is real plus. I hung it on the side of the bookcase in the family room...I liked it well enough to drill two small holes in the bookcase to mount it. So far I am very pleased with the machine.

Question: What kind of mix have they used in the blend?

I've used the best and some of the rest..... I have use the vita mix in the blend tec I've used the Breville Hemisphere and a few others, I honestly wasn't impressed with the blend tec , the Breville wihemisphere was one of the better ones and of course the vita mix. By choice among all raw diet and the complete vegetarian, I was at a thrift store and ended up seeing this blender the elite version for under $10 how could I resist at that price, long story short I use it three times a day as never had a problem it's works as well as my vita mix did without the cost, I would highly recommend one of these blenders.

Question: Which grill is the buyer going to look at purchasing next?

I've been using this item at least once a week for about six months now. I use it primarily as a griddle for french toast or pancakes or as a grill for hamburgers. As a griddle, it works fine. I wish it were a little bigger, but with creative arrangement it will hold 6 pieces of french toast. As a grill, it leaves a lot to be desired. It has a drip tray, but the unit is not angled properly for the grease to drain. I use 96% fat free ground beef, which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. I'd taken to propping it up, which helped but didn't solve the problem. Last night, I propped it on two inverted bowls--so much of an angle that the grease was running down over the controls in the front, and it -still- ran out the back of the unit. It isn't that I've overloaded the grill--we're only talking 4 hamburgers. But that's done it for me. I'm going to take a good look at the George Foreman GRP90WGR. It also has removable plates, and maybe it's better designed.If you're looking for a griddle or a panini press, the cuisinart could be great. But if you make hamburgers as often as I do, you might want to look somewhere else.

Question: What is the daughter described as avidly?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

Question: What is it worth?

Sturdy, not too large, just right. Maybe I could have gotten it a bit cheaper with a coupon locally, but oh well, it is worth the price I paid. No more dried out cake or doggie tongue trying to get at the cake...

Question: When does the Juicer need to be washed after every use?

I've not had one issue with this juicer thus far *knocks on wood* I've been using this daily since it shipped and absolutely love it!If I had to change one thing about this Juicer it would be adding a bigger sized barel to trap the pulp, otherwise it's fantastic for the price, you just can't beat it. If you're juicing leafy green veggies and such, you don't have to clean this product after every use, only if you add in fruit.Cleanup is relatively simple, the screen takes a little scrubbing with some soap but cleans up nicely, I haven't had an issue with particles being stuck in the grating, it's all come out very easily with hot water.Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect juicer, it doesn't exist but for a centrifugal, this is definitely on top.

Question: Where did the person put the jars of 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: Is it a lot of work?

These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven, I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla. I use the Tortilla Bowls to make all kinds of Food variation Items, Mexican Tostadas, Small Salads and even Desserts. I Bake individual Apple Pies with Pastry Pie Dough, Apple Filing and Streusel Crumb Topping, it's a little bit of work involved, however, everyone loves getting their own little Pie. I am glad I've got the Tortilla Bowl Makers! ...Thank You D.D.

Question: What is the dutch oven made of?

I cook every night for a family of 5. I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron. I ordered this skillet thinking the bigger size would be good to cook for my large family and I was right, but when I say it's big I mean it's MASSIVE (and heavy!). I wiped it down with some flax seed oil and put it into my heated oven and it fit with very little wiggle room. It certainly will not fit in my cabinets so it will have to live on my stove-top which is just fine by me.A lot of reviewers have complained about the "rough" finish on the inside of the skillet. To me, it doesn't seem that rough. There is a definite texture to it but nothing that will totally destroy the integrity of your food, in my opinion. Don't let a little texture steer you away from buying this bargain-priced skillet - you can always season, season, season to get that smooth patina cast iron is renowned for.One thing to note is that the product picture indicates that there are two pour spouts between each handle. My skillet does not have the pour spouts. That's slightly disappointing but this skillet is so heavy that I doubt I will be able to gracefully pour anything out of this thing, pour spouts or not. Amazon should update its picture of the product.All in all, I am thrilled with my beast of a skillet. The size is great for my large family but if you aren't cooking for a bunch of people I think this skillet may be overkill for you. Try a 12-in or even a 10.5 in. skillet.Edit: I just received the 12-in rooster pan as a gift and I am thrilled! The rooster design adds a homey touch to our otherwise contemporary kitchen. I use the 15 inch skillet every day but it takes up so much room on my stovetop that it is difficult to cook two things at a time. Now I can easily use my 12 inch and 10.5 inch skillets on the stovetop while the big boy 15 incher is baking in the oven. I cannot get enough of cast iron!

Question: What is wrong with the speaker's hands?

Best salt grinder ever! I have used a couple of salt grinders, and they all gave up the ghost before a year went by. This grinder is very easy to use and hold, as the video demonstrates. My arthritic hands can use it easily. The grinding base is easy to turn. I purchased the companion pepper grinder today. Highly recommend.

Answer: arthritic

Best salt grinder ever! I have used a couple of salt grinders, and they all gave up the ghost before a year went by. This grinder is very easy to use and hold, as the video demonstrates. <hl> My arthritic hands can use it easily. <hl> The grinding base is easy to turn. I purchased the companion pepper grinder today. Highly recommend.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

This pan arrived and I was shocked - there were not enough words to described my disappointment. I didn't have time to reorder or go to the store and buy what I thought I was getting. I used them. I love this pan. It is small, but it controls the heat in the oven perfectly and bakes cookies like no other pan I have used. I won't use the full size again.

Question: How wide is the larger product?

In the two smallest sizes, this high-quality stainless steel strainer has a very fine mesh that will strain out seeds, lumps, and just about everything else from a thin cooking liquid. To strain a cooking liquid that is even slightly thickened, you will probably need a strainer with a coarser mesh. The strainer is dishwasher safe.The strainer size (2-1/2", etc.) is measured straight across the "bowl" of the strainer, and includes some of the metal frame. The total length of the 2-1/2" strainer is 7-1/4"; the wire handle alone is 4". The total length of the 3-3/4" strainer is 8-3/4"; the wire handle alone is 4-1/4".

Answer: 3-3/4"

Question: What do they say about the tool storage?

This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. I do not leave the unit on the charger..(I think this wears down the battery faster)and only charge it when it sounds like it is getting low...downside...it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

Question: How much of the powder was added for the fondant?

I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago. I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste, it works great. For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. It will harden the fondant eventually. For gumpaste, a lot of it is needed, and it's actually added to the recipe. Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag. Otherwise it will harden really quick. This product is a bit pricy but it works. I recommend buying more than one at a time to save on shipping.

Question: What plastic brand does the reviewer recommend?

DO NOT BUY ANY BODUM COFFEE OR TEA PRESS THAT CONTAINS GLASS. BODUM USES A SPECIAL BOROSILICATE GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.I love Bodum Coffee Presses. But I would NEVER recommend anyone buy one with a glass beaker. You will need to replace the beaker frequently, since the special glass Bodum uses is extremely fragile, and breaks repeatedly for no apparent reason at all. I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. Make no mistake, you do not have to bang the glass against anything for it to break. It simply cracks spontaneously for no apparent reasonBodum has come out with some presses with a LEXAN clear plastic beaker.These do not break. I assume they came out with the LEXAN product because of problems with the glass. Be warned.If you do buy this product, buy a half dozen replacement beakers at the same time. You will need them.

Question: What's a better product compared to the new product?

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

Question: How long have they had the kettle?

We've had this kettle for a few years now and we are ready for a divorce. The kettle has always been very loud when operating. As it aged the lever under the handle which turns on the kettle switches itself off during operation. I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle. When it does manage to stay on for the whole boil it is also slow to turn off. Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. It is a beautiful kettle and well made but, its function is less than desirable.

Question: What item is the reviewer writing about?

I have a small three peg rack at the top of my kitchen faucet, on the wall... and this cup hangs there and it fits just right on the peg. I use it for myself when I want a drink of water. I live alone so no one else uses it. And occasionally I will use it for measuring liguids too... but mostly for drinking water. When I was a child, my grandma had an outdoor pump at a well to supply her with the water she used in her house work and cooking. There was a enamel tin cup that hung near the handle of the pump. So if you were outside and needed a drink of water... all you had to do was use that cup and push the handle of the pump about 3 times and you got the COLDEST and FRESH tasting water. This cup in my home reminds me of grandma's cup at the pump. A cup at the "water tap" for drinking... that is why I have this cup. It reminds me of my grandma and my childhood days on the farm.

Question: Is it visually appealing?

This looks great once assembled and provides plenty of organization. The color looks gray-ish in the picture, but it isn't (thankfully for us). The description is accurate in saying the color is black with brown undertones. It was made to look like wood that was painted black, but only to the point where wood grain is showing through slightly.The instructions are very long and specific. If you read them very carefully and understand what is being said, they are very helpful. There is a plastic leg that goes in the middle of the base that sticks out slightly more than the other legs...hopefully this was just ours since we were able to easily spin the TV stand. We have cardboard under the back legs to keep it still...this may be ok on carpet, though.Overall this is great and we are very pleased!

Question: What makes it easy to see information like water height?

This is an excellent hot-water kettle. I really love being able to choose the water temperature appropriate for the tea or coffee I am going to make. And the keep-warm feature is good too -- go back and re-brew your oolong, or make another cup of whatever. It is well designed, very well thought out, easy to use, the lights let you read the water height and amount, and it beeps to tell you that the water has come up to temperature. I really like it, and I'm seriously thinking of getting one for my tea-loving brother.

Question: Some other blenders are as cheap as how much?

I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. It is all self contained, so you just take the drink container with you and off you go. Only one item to clean, it couldn't be easier. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Heck, for 15 bucks, how can you go wrong. Try it! I use ground flax seeds, yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit (although partially frozen is better and same goes for the more powerful Nutribullet), crushed ice, spinach, and kale, any variation of those. It pulverizes it perfectly. Don't waste 100.00 or more on these Nutribullets or more expensive blenders just for single serve use. This is perfect. You will love it!!

Question: How did the customer describe the rug?

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

Question: are the newer or older jars better?

I was dissapointed with the Heritage blue Ball jars. Immediately the blue color was cheap looking as compared to the older blue Ball jars. Instead of a rich, ocean blue, they are a candy-colored blue. Looks painted on rather than true blue glass.Also, the lids and rings are too shiny silver and again cheap looking.Then, the size was much smaller than I expected. Too small to can decent portions of food.I decided I did not want to can in these jars due to all of the above reasons. Gave them to a college student friend of mine as she could use anything. She will use them just for dry food storage.

Question: Their second unit still works, but it happening to green power light?

We purchased one of these for our older daughter's room and it worked well, so well that we bought a second one for our other daughter's room. But within weeks the first one began to rattle. Over a year's use the rattle became noisier and noisier. One year later, it stopped working totally and we have since replaced it with a Soleus Air CFM-40 40-Pint Dehumidifier--Amazon sells it for about the same price and it is INCREDIBLY quiet--so much so that I have just bought a second one to use in my own bedroom at night.The second unit is still working, but it too is becoming noisier and we have noticed that the green power light is fading. I fully expect to have to replace this one as well.It's a pity because these units DO work well and they are wonderfully compact--why we bought them in the first place.But they clearly can't take long term heavy duty use.

Question: Why did the reviewer want this to work?

I really wanted this to work so I could make nice, golden crepes. Unfortunately, I have tried it several times, and it just doesn't work. The crepes stick, they peel off in strips, they have to be thrown out. I seasoned it according to the instructions that came with the pan. Then I seasoned it according to the other insturctions that came with the pan (yes, it came with two different sets of instructions). Then I looked up pan seasoning online and tried yet another method. Still no luck. Maybe my husband can sear a steak on this or something, but it's certainly not useful for crepes.

Then I seasoned it according to the other insturctions that came with the pan (yes, it came with two different sets of instructions). Then I looked up pan seasoning online and tried yet another method. Still no luck. Maybe my husband can sear a steak on this or something, but it's certainly not useful for crepes.

Question: What is unavoidable when using the Kuhn Rikon?

This Kuhn Rikon brewer seems as though it is a good idea but is poorly made and designed. I did get one good cup of brewed coffee from it after I settled the filter in the bottom of the brewer so it didn't leak coffee grounds under the filter. If it is working well it will give you a nice cup of coffee in a French press style in which you expect some fine coffee grounds and extra body in the brew. With French press style coffee and even more so with the Kuhn Rikon there will be some unavoidable sludgy grounds that will settle out in the bottom of your cup. Overall I think you are better to stick with a much nicer looking and better made French press brewer for exampleBodum New Kenya 12-Ounce Coffee Press, Blackor one of the Abid "Clever" brewers if you prefer filtered coffee (Clever Coffee Dripper Small). The push button drain feature on the Kuhn Rikon worked well for me but the locking drain feature never worked well and quickly broke. When I made tea the first time I discovered that some of the leaves had slipped under the filter and were stuck under the filter and hard to remove. I think keeping the filter well settled in the bottom of the cup will prevent the tea leaves slipping under the filter as well at least for a while.

Question: What item did I get that I know I will be satisfied?

When I first got this coffee maker I knew it had the features I was wanting. I had a problem with it shutting off before the water was all pumped through. I was just about ready to send it back when I went on line and read about when it does that to push the valve down in the bottom of the water tank. It did the trick and I couldn't be happier with this little gem! You might have some over flow out of the grounds basket if you use a fine grind. It seems to work better with regular store grinds allowing the water to flow through them faster and not cause back up. Having it's own filter and basket is nice and the filter hasn't stained.

Question: What adjective was used to describe the appearance of the cabinets?

I wish two things----the cabinets were bigger, and they didn't wobble back andforth after they're put together. I wish the shelf space were deeper. I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things....oops!I needed them (2) in my kitchen since my house was built in 1889 and backthen the people were teeny-tiny and kitchen cabinets were not very large,and closets were tiny for these tiny people, so I got these cabinets for mykitchen to hold the extra pots & pans. As far as putting them together, I paida handy man to do that for me. They didn't look too hard, though. I recentlyput my own gas barbecue together----maybe that's why it didn't look hard.Bottom line: they're cute but they wobble a little bit.

Question: What liquid was the roast deglazed with?

Ten stars would not be enough praise for this cooking pot. I have had a lot of cookware. Expensive no stick that was absolutely useless. This is amazing. I wasn't sure about seasoning this pan but I asked here on Amazon and Pam said she just sprayed with a little Pam. She was right. I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. The recipe was for 3 and a half hours. The roast (lid on) took a little over 2 hours and was fork tender. Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn. Wow. I've never had a pot that cleans this easily and cooks this fast. I will get the 5 1/2 qt next month and I'm looking at the saucier pan. I love the colors. This will never go in the dishwasher. I will always hand wash this which is not my usual move.(nails and all). It's a cooking pot of a lifetime and a gift of quality.

Question: What did the author want to use to heat the chicken?

I ordered the Pyrex Easy Grab Casserole specifically to heat browned/blackened seared chicken to 165 degrees in the microwave for final cooking.THERE WERE TWO REQUIREMENTS1. The dish had to be see-through so I could view the chicken for meat thermometer insertion as my microwave is mounted high.2. The casserole had to fit and be able to rotate freely on the microwave carousel.RESULTSThe casserole passed both tests. It rotates freely and I can actually see what I'm doing when testing for inner temperature.Here's the actual measurements of the dish which are slightly different than the Amazon measurements.The Dish is 12-3/8 inches x 8 inches. This includes the length of the handles.My GE Microwave inner dimensions are 19-1/2 inches x 13-1/4 inches.I really like this casserole dish and especially the grab handles.

Question: What type of products do they own?

There are 3 great things about this hamper. It is collapsable, requires no tools to put together, and it has a lid that doesn't need to be opened and closed to put clothes in. Another plus is that it appears solid and should hold up. I put the lid on wrong at first; most of the lid goes on the inside. When the lid is on correctly, the sides don't fold in. The instructions didn't make sense, but the product picture is clear. I have many OXO products that are absolutely perfect, but I have a few little quibbles about this hamper. It looks utilitarian. The plastic-ish material (label says it is not PVC) looks like industrial plastic and the only venting is in the lid. Either wash quick or don't put damp thing in it. I like the suggestions in the OXO promotional video, which mentions toy storage or off-season clothes storage as possible uses. My experience with this type of products is spend a little more and it will last, so overall, I like it.

Question: What part is difficult to get on after filling it with beans?

I read the reviews then decided to order it. All went well with shipping, seller, etc. It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. For me, the only little problem is sometimes trying to get the top on after filling it with beans - it's hard to tell where to set the top exactly and how to get it to twist so the arrows are aligned, so sometimes I have fiddled with it awhile before it clicks. Also, pouring the ground coffee out into a paper filter can be a little sloppy, but that is probably the case with any grinder. It is heavy, so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. All in all, I would buy this again and stick with this model.

Question: When is it nice to use the product?

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, decided to spend the extra money (cause my sweetie is worth more than just a snuggie) and I'm really glad I did. She absolutely loves this thing, so much so that I've actually been chided for even trying it on. And I have to say it is comfortable too. It's the ultimate in couch potato lounging. Perfect for the winter days when you just want to sit back and watch some movies.

Question: How long does the pan last?

One of my go-to fry pans in my kitchen! I love Lodge cast iron pans and own many. I own two of this size which really come in handy on fried potatoes, bacon and egg weekends. I use a larger 13 1/2" to do the bacon. I cook so many things in these smaller cast iron pans I probably could fill the page but I won't bore people. Just figure anything you can cook in a regular stainless steel pan (which I own many of) will cook better in a well seasoned, loved and used Lodge cast iron pan! Great pans, if properly cared for, will live on long after you and I are gone!

Question: How did the reviewer get the glasses?

I received these glasses as a gift to complement the 2 oz espresso glasses in the series. These glasses, like the 2 oz are beautiful, and are wonderful for hot drinks, such as lattes, and cold drinks, such as bourbon.I have arthritis which sometimes effects my ability to pick up heavy (?) objects, such as a coffee cup. On those days, these lightweight glasses are a lifesaver. I no longer have to drink my coffee with a straw on a bad day! And the dimples in the glasses increase my ability to grip.I also want to complement the customer service of Ozeri. We had a shipping mix up and the customer service (especially Rachel K.) has been extremely responsive.In addition, I had a 2 oz glass crack for no good reason and they happily replaced it! So if you have a glass that cracks or fogs, please get in touch with customer service.I'm on a bit of a budget, but I hope to buy more in the Moderna series soon. It is so nice to have nice glasses.

Question: Why were they bought?

I bought these to assist with the stray pins that seem to jump out of the pin cushion onto the floor. My favorite use is as a assistant to medical magnets. If you are sensitive to magnetic therapy (not everyone is) it doesn't cost much to try them. I make lumbar pillows for those with back problems that do have positive responses to magnets. If it works for you great if not take some more Motrin and paste more pictures of the kids on the fridge. I like to use them as drawer liners in my desk to attract the paper clips and loose staples forever in the bottom of that drawer. I keep a strip in the medicine cabinet to hold the used razor blade I use to scrape paint and clean my glass top range when my cooking isn't quite up to par It is worth the trouble for me not to have to worry about little hands coming across them. Would enjoy hearing uses others have come up with for these. Buy a couple and let us all know. It is a hassle writing these but, I always check them before I buy anything and appreciate others that take that time

Question: What is the product?

I think the Eva-dry wireless dehumidifier is a worthwhile tool in removing the feel and odor of excess humidity in one's interior. The mini dehumidifer is sufficiently small and lightweight to use in any room. The fact that Eva-dry is renewable is touted as an advantage, however, it is a nuisance for those who live in small apartments, like me. I do not have a garage or any area in my "home" where I can safely plug in the Eva-dry to recharge it, without emitting humidity into the air while the Eva-dry crystals are recharging, thus defeating the whole purpose of using Eva-dry. I have no alternative than to keep using Eva-dry with the large room dehumidifer I bought, and continually discarding the Eva-dry mini dehumidifier when it requires recharging.
