Question: Independent reviews say the Acme extract how much more juice than its competitors?

We have owned our Acme since approximately 1978, give or take a year or two. I can't compare it to anything else because we haven't used another machine since purchasing it. Moderately noisy and a hassle to clean, but it is an incredibly reliable workhorse that just keeps on going. Built like a tank. With the same design as the one shown here, our old model has all stainless removable parts over the white enamel motor housing. While the fact that it does not automatically eject pulp is a minus on the one hand, on the other hand, the Acme extracts up to 20% more juice according to independent reviews.

Question: How high is the fan?

I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. I use it every day in the summer and spring. I've never had to change the batteries in the remote in all that time, and it works as well now as it did on the first day of use. The base had to be installed on the fan when it was taken out of its box. My husband did that and said it wasn't hard. I've used all the various settings on the fan, including oscillation, and it works quietly on all settings. I've used it in both my home office and in my bedroom, and I ended up keeping it in my my bedroom because its 40-inch height allows the air it blows to easily reach a person lying on a bed. Also, if I get cold in the middle of the night, the fan's remote allows me to turn off the fan without having to get up.In spite of its height, the fan is light and easy to move. It has an indented hand-hold at its top which makes it easy to pick up the fan and move it from room to room or store it in the garage during the winter.Based on my experience with this fan, I would be happy to purchase another one just like it if the need ever arose.

Question: What did the old product require that this product doesn't?

I am delighted with this steam mop-It does a great job of swabbing my tile bathroom and linoleum kitchen floors-It makes copious amounts of steam...fast-It is easy to maneuver-It is easy to use-The pads are easy to take on and off-The built in, convertible hand steamer is an added plus.And, unlike my oldBISSELL Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1, this Steamfast model doesn't require a water filter in order to work! What a nuisance that is, having to shop for, purchase, and install that filter once a month.

Question: For how long was the Roomba operating optimally?

This Roomba was a dream when we first got it, and for about the first year. 3 years in, it still works, but it is louder and requires more thorough cleaning. My husband has taken it apart and cleaned the inside out more deeply than is possible by simply opening the clean-out trap and brushes. I should also mention that we have only used our Roomba on the first floor where we have only laminate wood and tile. We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. With 2 cats and a labrador retrieves who sheds like crazy, the Roomba keeps dust bunnies and pet fur at bay between weekly vacuuming.

Question: What would you use each glass for?

Question: What is the standard curtain size?

The beige textured background that mimics rice paper along with a plethora of butterflies and dragonflies amongst tall grass make The Lorraine Home Fashions Enchantment Shower Curtain very pretty! The neutral tones in the design certainly can fit the bathroom appeal of many. You can really base an entire theme off of just the curtain. For example, you could use ecru towels to softly blend or chose a more standout out color from the curtain to add appeal to your bathroom.This is your standard size curtain that measures 70-inch x 72-inch. It's fabric contest is PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) which is free from chlorine, pvc, and its biodegradable. The material is basically chemical free, non-toxic, and safer for the environment. The holes are sized accordingly and it was easy to hang up. The creases from it being packaged went away after several showers. If I need it to be cleaned, I can do so with a damp cloth. The shower curtain isn't see-through at all.It's holding up well so far and in my opinion a good substitute to more expensive options such as the fabric types out there. Overall, it's a good price, nice design and I would recommend it. If this design isn't for you, note that the company offers many other nice designs.

Question: What should you remove before using?

Fist off, there is a paper ad under the plastic where it sucks up the water, you might want to remove that ;)My mom used to swear by those carpet cleaners you rent from the super market. Once a month, me and my dad had to move all the furniture around as she cleaned. This Hoover SteamVac is a great substitute for that monster vac. This one is much lighter and easier to use, you can see just how much dirt is coming up from your carpet as it sucks up the water. There are no hoses and nozzles to clog with this one, no belts to break and everything disassembles for easy cleaning.As another review pointed out, there are no "bells & whistles" with this model, you have to pay attention to the water level yourself, no "dirt sensors" or headlights, but it doesn't need them. It does a great job at both cleaning and picking up the water and drying the carpet. Anyone who has used the rental machines has probably had the experience of a machine that doesn't suck up enough water and had to deal with wet carpet. Not a problem here with its own heat source, this SteamVac drys the carpet just fine.

Question: Was there only a few or a lot of retailers that carried the filters?

These charcoal water filters are identical to the expensive ones I used to purchase from Cusinart. Not to mention, there were only a few retailers that even carried them. Now they will be replaced once a month like they would be. I was happy to find these in a large quantity at a great price.

Question: What aspect of the floor brush is listed as a negetive?

The Dirt Devil Turbo Plus Bagged Canister Vacuum was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review. Here's my take on it.This is a sleek-looking machine, a silvery color, lightweight with a carrying handle built in. There are several nice features: weight is one, onboard tool storage is another (all but two of the attachments store on the vacuum or on the wand). The hose snaps in to the canister easily and firmly so it won't loosen as you vacuum. Also, the wand telescopes so you need store only one wand piece. The On/OFF and retractable hose control can be foot operated, saving bending, however, I prefer to use my hand in case I might damage the plastic part. Also, it is suggested that you hold onto the cord as it retracts into the canister. Another nice feature is a variable suction-great for using the floor tool. A turbo tool provides extra agitation for carpet and seems to work well, however, I prefer using an upright for carpeting. I like the idea of using the turbo tool to pick up pet hair since this is something my upright with hose and attachment doesn't do well.The not quite so likable items: the floor brush is suction only, a plastic rectangle with short bristles all around the edge. (By increasing the suction, I was able to effectively clean dirt and debris from my tile floor, but the quality of the attachment seems moderate at best.) The hose is stiff and has a tendency to kink. Amazon does not currently carry the bags for this machine (bags, by the way, are small, so you'll want a good supply of them), however, they can be ordered from Dirt Devil on their website (part no. AD10035--this is for a 3-pack and until 10/12/11 there's a 20% off price and free shipping).The Dirt Devil Turbo Canister Plus has a 12 amp motor and comes with a two-year warranty (Note: stated warranty on Amazon site is two years, on bottom of canister states one year). At just under $130, it delivers a lot for a modest price.

Question: How many cats does this reviewer have?

I've been on a vacuum cleaner quest since my very fine Hoover canister vac died about a year ago. With four cats, and no lack of cat hair or cat puke, I do ask a lot of a vacuum cleaner.I had a bagless upright when those were first introduced and hated it because of how difficult it was to empty and clean out the container. I ended up having to interact with the dirt all over again, so had gone back to bagged canister vacs. This Bissell solved by objections to bagless uprights. The container is easy to carry through the house and empty without having to deal with the dirt and dust over again.Set up and assembly was quite fast and easy. On-board tool holders, and cord and hose wraps, are well placed and work well.The power switch being in an odd, inconvenient place is my only design objection.Very good, powerful suction. I'm extremely pleased and impressed with how much it is pulling up and getting. The hand tool for stairs also does a very good job.Didn't seem too heavy to me, had no problem lifting it step-by-step up the stairs.Very pleased and impressed.

Question: At what temperature does the coffee seem better to the author?

It looks good. It has actually useful and worthwhile features (temp, and "keep warm"). My coffee really does seem better at 175F (aeropress).In use though, you have to 'learn it'. Not hard, but bearing in mind we're not doing anything even a tad complex, seems a bit unnecessary. At the start there was a lot of trying buttons and not being entirely sure whether it succeeded or not.For example, my first use: hit the temp I want. It should have started, but it looks like it hasn't - heh, "Start" is unlit, press that; hey - now the temp is flashing, wtf? looks urgent, I have to press something... Hit the temp again... nothing changes. Oh, perhaps it just flashes like that in that urgent looking manner for no reason... Well, not too painful. Wait, I've finished with it, how do I make it stop...? What?, I really have to manually turn the thing off every time?This is all in the manual and not too obscure, but really, how much should I need a manual? How confused should a guest in my house be by /an electric kettle/?At this price I expect someone to do a quality design of the controls, not just the aesthetics. I do like the kettle and I'm feeling generous so I'm giving it a 4, rather than a 3, but it's a close thing.Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars, might contemplate 2. My wife and I, who are pretty tech-savvy, get caught out by the silly interface for this frequently - both intending to turn it on and failing, and failing to turn it off when we're finished with it. Added to that, and it's increasingly failing to shut off from the boil setting in a timely manner. I think it still shuts off, but takes a couple of minutes of boiling. Overall, it's a nice looking product, but the user experience was not designed properly at all, and the performance is questionable.

Answer: 175F

At the start there was a lot of trying buttons and not being entirely sure whether it succeeded or not. For example, my first use: hit the temp I want. It should have started, but it looks like it hasn't - heh, "Start" is unlit, press that; hey - now the temp is flashing, wtf? looks urgent, I have to press something... Hit the temp again... nothing changes. Oh, perhaps it just flashes like that in that urgent looking manner for no reason... Well, not too painful. Wait, I've finished with it, how do I make it stop...? What?, I really have to manually turn the thing off every time?This is all in the manual and not too obscure, but really, how much should I need a manual? How confused should a guest in my house be by /an electric kettle/?At this price I expect someone to do a quality design of the controls, not just the aesthetics. I do like the kettle and I'm feeling generous so I'm giving it a 4, rather than a 3, but it's a close thing. Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars, might contemplate 2. My wife and I, who are pretty tech-savvy, get caught out by the silly interface for this frequently - both intending to turn it on and failing, and failing to turn it off when we're finished with it. Added to that, and it's increasingly failing to shut off from the boil setting in a timely manner. I think it still shuts off, but takes a couple of minutes of boiling. Overall, it's a nice looking product, but the user experience was not designed properly at all, and the performance is questionable.

Question: What rooms were these purchased for?

Purchased two of these for both of the guest bathrooms in the house and they look great in the pictures of the listing, but when we got them out of the box, the chrome looks cheap and the frosted plastic is thin and overall this holder just did not live up to our other InterDesign items in our bathrooms. So we returned them to Amazon without taking them out of the wrapper. Although I thought the lid would look great and keep dust and water from getting on the rolls, the lid has a hole in the center of it for easy on and off, so it kind of defeats the purpose of protecting the TP and again the lid has the ultra shiny chrome ring around the middle and the thin frosted plastic, so it just looks cheap and not well made.

Question: Where did they find it half priced?

Cute novelty pan, but do not recomend for the 3D version cake. I used this for Thanksgiving and made the pumpkin cake recipe that came with the pan, it was good but had to bake a lot longer than recomended, and the head of the turkey over cooked and would not put together for the 3D version cake. I was dissapointed in this. I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake. Cornbread would be cute! I did find it for half the price that was on Amazon so sent it back. You might want to shop around.

Question: What item added into the liquid while mixing will cause it to decelerate?

Contrary to what you may read in the reviews - this product CAN HANDLE protein powder and water, provided you are not trying to make it so thick the spoon stands up. My experience with this is you can take 14-16 oz water, start the mixer, then add your 1 or 2 scoops and it blends fine. Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well. I am ordering a 2nd one from Amazon, as I am very happy with the one I purchased at another site.

Question: How did they find a problem?

I have electronic stove. Its minimum bottom size for pot is 12cm (4.7 in). The bottome of this exactly matches this size.So ... good to cook.But in washing this item, I've found 1 problem. The gap linked to the top metal thing to glass thing is big enough forthe dishwasher detergent to get in. So I'm a little worried whenever I wash this pot.If a litte detergent is still left in lid, there would be a possibilty to take in the detergent before I use it.So I wash the lid just using water without detergent.I'd like this pot would be upgraded in that part in future.

Question: Where can this product easily be taken to?

There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work.

Question: Who bought the product for the user?

My sister bought this for me because I love cooking. I always make huge pots of stew and soups, and having to put the covers upside down on the stove or countertop or in the sink was always a pain and messy. Now with this Progressive lid and spoon rest, the covers, as big as they are, sit right in the slot. I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members. What would make this design even better is if they could make it so that you can store the spoon or ladle upright.

Question: In what year was the second mattress purchased?

bought a air mattress from local Wal-Mart.(NOT a Serta) daughter and son in law used it over holiday stay over and was so uncomfortable they could not use it a 2nd night. intending to return to store for money back, or store credit, I ordered the serta queen from amazon the next morning. it was here in 2 days. been using on and off since dec. 2013. has held its air since dec. and it is now march. very comfortable. by the way, wal mart refused to take mattress back. had to exchange for identical product, (pointless!) or a air mattress of greater expense. (I refuse to dig a deeper hole with walmart!!!) so if anyone wants a washboard style air mattress, I have one for sale. like new! the serta mattress is excellent for an air mattress, and amazon return policy is superior if needed.

Question: How does the author feel about the quality?

It turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Very solid and nice to handle.Great quality.The lid seals great. Just hold the outside rim and turn the inside dial to close.It was important to find a pitcher like this that has a tight seal. I have seen others than have been described as not sealing completely. I like to keep any fridge odors out of my drinks.The lid comes off all the way in order to pour. I prefer it that way, no dripping this way. The container has a nice lip to pour out off.I been using it to mix powered milk in. I don't use a lot, so the half liter works.I will also be getting the 1 liter as I like it so much. Much better storing liquids in glass than plastics.

Question: how many sets were purchased?

They are not the best but they are not the worst, either. I ordered 2 sets of these; the first set was fine however the second set did not include the hardware, nor was I able to get it sent to me. The good news is that amazon gave me some of my money back-so I just took the hardware off the one set to match it up at the hardware store.

Question: Which tea product leaves no single tea leaf in the brewed product?

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: How does it feel the author of the review?

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: When did problems start?

I loved these, so much, I purchased several of them (always in the dishwasher). But after about 6 months or so, the bottom half of the two-piece handles came unglued, one by one, rendering them useless. I tried to find a way to glue them, but the handle is ridged inside with large hollow spaces, so I couldn't come up with an effective repair. Also, I didn't like that the handles trapped dirt and water, which would slowly leak out. However, they scraped very well, while they lasted. The blade (which is just flexible enough) is thin enough to reach into most small-mouthed jars. The handle is long, 11" end to end. I would not buy again, unless handle is redesigned. I hope this helps.

Question: What was this placed over?

I put this on my very long table over a cloth tablecloth and it fit great and looked great! I can now change my cloth tablecloths to match the seasons and can protect them with this plastic tablecloth. I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124"). It also seems like it will not be ripped up as quickly as some of the more flimsy plastic tablecloths I have had on the table. Nevertheless, I purchased a second tablecloth as a backup. They were reasonable enough.

Question: What kind of problems were both people getting on their bad mattress?

I spent 6 months considering this mattress, reading reviews, making up my mind. 6 months I could have been getting a good nights sleep and not tossing and turning every night. Best sleep ever!! Both of us have back problems, bed time used to be nightmare, most mattresses don't hold up as advertised. I have a platform caption's bed, the mattress has been on a surface without sloops as the last salesperson tried to tell me was the reason my mattress failed. This has been a pleasant surprise! Only problem I had and was easily fixed, it was so firm where my hip pressed on the bed I developed sore areas. One trip to store for egg crate on my side of bed took care of the problem. I have a cover over the mattress and was worried if I put the egg crate cover under the cover it would slide around, hasn't moved. Every month I rotate the mattress, don't know if have to but old habits die hard. Has been the best mattress I have ever bought.

Both of us have <hl> back problems <hl>, bed time used to be nightmare, most mattresses don't hold up as advertised. I have a platform caption's bed, the mattress has been on a surface without sloops as the last salesperson tried to tell me was the reason my mattress failed. This has been a pleasant surprise! Only problem I had and was easily fixed, it was so firm where my hip pressed on the bed I developed sore areas. One trip to store for egg crate on my side of bed took care of the problem. I have a cover over the mattress and was worried if I put the egg crate cover under the cover it would slide around, hasn't moved. Every month I rotate the mattress, don't know if have to but old habits die hard. Has been the best mattress I have ever bought.

Both of us have <hl> back problems <hl> , bed time used to be nightmare, most mattresses don't hold up as advertised.


Question: When did this person purchase quart size canning jars?

I purchased quart size canning jars this year for the purpose of storing dry goods and leftovers and an attempt to avoid so much plastic in my life. I literally stumbled across this jar sealer when I was looking for the reusable plastic lids for the jars.This is so great! I just tried it for the first time and I can see I'll be using this a lot. i made Mason Jar Salads this summer but didn't think the salads really held up all that well for several days but I think this jar sealer will definitely change that.I've always kept my FoodSaver in a cupboard but it may very well be elevated to the counter top now that I've found the jar sealer.

Question: What do they not own, but still makes these very easy to clean?

I have just about every piece in this line and I love it..the pans all cook evenly and with less heat than any other cookware I've used. Keeping it shiny and beautiful is easy..just follow the instructions that come with it. A little bit of white vinegar after washing keeps it sparkling. I don't have a dishwasher and it's easy to clean. The ONLY drawback is that you have to use a towel of pot holder to lift the lid when they're on the stovetop because they get hot. I've recommended it to friends and they love it, too. You can go from stove to oventop. It's very versatile. Buy it! You can't beat this price.

Question: how does the writer describe the difficulty of using this product?

It is so easy to use, I can stand in one spot and vacuum a large area at one time. Having two batteries is great, as the one in it (not in the charging holder) goes down quickly, but the back-up finishes my house. Three problems: 1. There's a screw on the side between the handle and the bottom that won't stay screwed in. 2. The bristles have to be checked every time to clean it, with my shoulder-length hair. 3. The dust holder just barely stays on the unit; the button that holds it in place barely fits right.It was real easy to put together from the box.But it picks up great and fast and easy, and always amazes me that I can make such a mess to fill the filter!

Question: What is the problem that the reviewer stated?

What a piece of POOP! This is the first time I've posted a negative review on Amazon and for good reason. I got this as a hand me down to make fruit smoothies. The first thing I noticed it the automatic blender action. Who designed that? That was the dumbest thing. Right when you push the cup down into the blender, it starts to engage the gears. The problem is that the teeth don't always match up. So, you have this grinding effect until the teeth of the gears engage. What an moronic design decision. I knew this was going to eventually happen, but after just three days of using this thing the teeth from the gears completely stripped. There was smoking and all sorts of black plastic flying around. I mean, this idea COULD work, but use metal for god's sake.And what's up with the small cup sizes? They should have one a big larger for regular sized smoothies.All in all, the biggest piece of junk I've ever been given. DON'T BUY IT!

Question: how long has the writer owned the product?

have used this for 20 years and it's still going strong. the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream.BUT it cannot be put in the dishwasher. the super hot water temp will cause the seal to leak allowing the freon out.most likely, the current scoops are using the replacement for freon (which i can't remember the name).easiest scoop to use, easy to clean, built like a tank. it will be the last scoop you buy.

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: Where can you get cheap kitchen towels?

First of all, it is only printed on one side - the other side is white. Because of this, it looks cheap. You have to keep it folded a certain way or the white side will ruin the look. Not only that, it feels cheap and doesn't feel like quality kitchen towels you might get anywhere other than Walmart. It's also not absorbent! I mean really? What use is a kitchen towel that doesn't absorb? I thought microfiber is supposed to be absorbent. This doesn't feel like microfiber. It feels like cheap polyester. For the price, I expected better. The only this has going for it is that the print is cute, the print that's only on one side that is...

Question: What size is the product?

Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch. Love this item. I ordered one and liked it so much I got another one. I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. I transfer them from the baking sheet, covered with a Silpat, to the cooling rack after about 8 or 10 minutes. While still soft, but I wait until they won't pull apart while transferring. Then I let the cookies cool completely on this rack. It works great, the cookies don't stick to it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cooling rack, especially for cookies directly onto the rack.

Question: The customer bought this item for his daughter because of what reason?

I have owned a factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional Mixer (6 qt.) for over two years and have had no trouble with it. It arrived in perfect shape, looking brand new. I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. It was on her gift registry at a chain store. I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest. The mixer arrived yesterday and has no scratches or blemishes. It, too, looks brand new. I took it out of the box to be sure it looked new, and only had to adjust the beater height using the screw in the neck of the mixer to get it in perfect shape. I know she will love it and it will look great in her kitchen. Maybe she'll even use it to cook something!

Question: Where was the unit being used?

I bought this unit because of several reviews that said it was whisper quiet. Oh, my. The first time I turned it on I set it on low, and it was pretty loud. On medium and high it was incredibly loud. So I left it on low, running continuously in my home office, for a week, and it just kept getting louder and louder.Thinking that I had possibly received a defective unit - because it was never anywhere close to whisper quiet, even straight out of the box - I exchanged it for another of the same model.The second one was even louder. Again, I always kept it on low, never turned it on medium or high because it was just way too noisy. I decided I would just live with it. Well, I can't stand it any more. Like the first unit, this one just kept getting louder and louder with each passing day. By the end of the third week, on the low setting it sounds like a roaring freight train. On medium or high, it sounds like a jet about to take off. This one is also going back, and I will keep looking for an air purifier that is at least moderately quiet.

Question: Did customer service have an explanation for the way it looked?

When I first received this, I was very disappointed. It looked like water stains all over the spread. It did not look like a design.I could not figure out if this was suppose to look like this or not. So I contacted customer service and they didn't know either.They were gracious enough to reissue a new one and I sent the other back. I can now say that the new one is no better.It isn't a bad comforter for the price but know that when on the bed, it gives a faded, very used look. This is the style I now assume. It is made to look that way. So if you like the worn out in spots, faded look, this is the quilt for you, like a nice pair of worn out jeans. I think the first one was worse and I'm keeping this one. My living room is dark and it will work. But don't expect it to be a uniformed color like it shows in the picture. The backside is, but the front isn't.

Question: What is awesome to the poster?

This little cooker is awesome. Although it's not real big, it works great! I hand wash it due to the aluminum bottom so it doesn't discolor. It says you can put the base, lid, etc. in the dishwasher, but I want the handles, etc. to stay nice. Lentils came out great--much better than on the stove--and to do the veggies for a marinara sauce, was so easy. As for cleaning the inside, Bar Keepers Friend is the best, I think, as it doesn't scratch the SS, but gets it super clean and shiny. Oh, forgot to mention how great a whole chicken came out! I mixed some seasonings and then coated it inside & out, & cooked the 5 lb. bird for 30 min. or so! Yummy!! Next is corned beef & veggies...Wish I'd gotten this unit a long time ago. One last note: of the things I've made, it usually takes 10-15 mins. to reach pressure, then the cooking time, and then 10- 20 mins. to cool down on its own. Obviously, if you put it under cold water, it's faster, but most recipes say to let it cool down on its own.

One last note: of the things I've made, it usually takes 10-15 mins. to reach pressure, then the cooking time, and then 10- 20 mins. to cool down on its own. Obviously, if you put it under cold water, it's faster, but most recipes say to let it cool down on its own.
