Question: What product is the author talking about?

OXO GG Press Sure Corner CaddyThis thing is magic! It is a shower and tub corner stuff holder. It doesn't use ANY glue or screws to hold, just friction. If you have an open corner in your shower or bath tub you can most likely use this. If your corner is heavily coved you may have an issue. If it's a squared corner, get this!After opening the box it comes in you remove the caddy, take off the plastic and paper wrapping, and then step into your shower. Align it to a corner, if you have a small level, use it to straighten it. Then once you are happy, firmly press the big front mounted button and voilà it is now mounted in your corner. This is as easy as it gets. The box and the instructions don't tell you the weight capacity, a major omission from Oxo. Still I loaded it up with two full big bottles of bath stuff and a wash cloth and scrubber. It can hold a bunch more and seemed like it could easily carry a big load.It survived some steamy showers with ease and looks like a great addition to my shower. I'll report back if it ever fails and falls. It easily removes by pulling out the big button, no marks left. This is a fantastic device.

Question: At what temperature does the heater become not effective for a two bedroom apartment?

I bought this heater before got a bad one and I really did not give it a chance I lived in a very drafty home. I read all the write ups about and deceiced to give it another try. I am very happy I did this one works well even in the drafty home it just takes time for this heater to heat a large area but if it is well insulated it will heat a whole two bedroom apartment I have moved from that drafty place I had two oil heaters and this iliving and a gas furnice for a week this was able to make a small room comfortable but in the insulated apartment it is amazing when it is not real cold out it heats the whole house with out the home heater I like the heat better than a gas heater it heats a 12 X 13 room very well next winter I plan to purchase another one and heat this whole apartment with two it is just too big for one when it gets down to the teens.

Question: What type of pans have they been using in the past?

I have several cast-iron products including a wok, grill pan and a couple of Dutch ovens. I've been using them for years without a single complaint. I have a full set of All Clad stainless frying pans that are somewhat non-stick if you know how to use them. I've heard so much about Grandma's priceless iron frying pan that I had to give it a try. Compared to stainless, iron heats up slowly but keeps the heat much longer. The pre-seasoning isn't much because real seasoning takes years. This is beacuse the iron is rough and only through use become smooth. My complaints relate to the handle: First it is too short so you can't get a proper grip and second it gets hot enough to burn you (unlike stainless). I guess I'll get used to these problems and learn to appreciate the ultimate cooking surface that iron provides.

Question: What weight will not work with the product?

Got these 18 months ago for a kitchen remodel, loved the look and price. Long story short, they are not super supportive and don't feel very sturdy. If you're in the 190-200# range, they will not stay up at the selected height and will eventually sink down to the bottom position.I don't feel comfortable sitting in them and do not feel they support me well or safely. Too bad, they look nice, now they are just ornamentation for the kitchen bar. They may be cheap, but in this case you get what you pay for. Not recommended, unless you weigh less than 120# and don't mind no back support.

Question: What is the position of the turkey when starting the roast?

I got the red roaster to replace an overpriced, overrated calphalon roaster I had. I used it Thanksgiving to roast my huge turkey. I roast upside down then 3 quarters of the way i flip the bird. The v shaped rack made that easy. I've also roasted duck legs with potatoes and onions and they came out perfectly with no sticking! I detest washing dishes but the pan cleaned up quickly with very little effort using a scrubby sponge... much easier than the black calphalon roaster it replaced. it looks really good too! I am very happy with the roaster. I'm looking forward to using it for a long time and maybe adding a few more colorful RR pieces as well. Happy Holidays!

Question: What is included in the set?

You can count on OXO Good Grips to come up with good products and this 3-Piece Bowl and Colander Set is a Godsend! Mine arrived on November 26, 2013 and I've already put it to use for my holiday cooking. The bowl, lid and colander are remarkably strong and contain no BPAs. I like the handles on the colander and the nonslip bottom on the bowl, which keeps you from having to hang onto it lest it slips. The lid has clasps which makes the bowl a good storage place for keeping your food fresh. It is very attractive and works well. It has already scored bonus points in my kitchen and I love it!

Question: What is one issue with the product?

I'm using it in front of the kitchen sink and it works well. It is indeed easy to clean - spills wipe right off which means it should last longer than the cheap slice rugs I've been using which just can't be cleaned up. My only issues with it are that it's not particularly comfortable to stand on and the color is much more golden than pictured. I would have preferred a dark color. It's not uncomfortable but is totally flat, giving no support or relief. But overall I'm pleased. And it came very quickly. It was rolled up but laid out flat just fine.

Question: Did they return the vacuum?

Normally I like Eureka products but this one SUCKS - and I don't mean that in a good way. As for suction - there isn't any. At least not enough to pick up anything more than a hair or a miniscule crumb. If that! What a waste of money. I'd have sent it back but the shipping fee & my time and trouble (not to mention gas to go to the post office) were not worth the effort. My kids love playing with it - they think they are vacuuming with the real thing, like Mommy. My advice - use your regular vac (even tho it may be a pain to drag out) or a mop.

Question: is the extension part weak?

This product takes 10 minutes to setup 4. It is super easy. Very easy on the eyes. It makes the room look like you have a sound system. I used my simple SONY HTIB.The product is stong on the bottom so it's not going to tilt over. The extension part is a bit weak. I have it fully extended as I guess most people would like them. The product because to lose strength and stand a bit off centered. It leans to a side. I wouldn't return them! Just keep in mind that they are a great value and look great. Just has a clumsy feel to it. I tighten them every week when i see them leaning too much.

Question: What's wrong with the hoses?

I can only give this a 3. Tools are to small-the motor has a w h i n e to it that drives me nuts! The motor also seems to get very hot--maybe I got a dud and just don't know it. The hoses are stiff-no flexibility at all. I do like a canister vacuum though as opposed to an upright-at least this one follows me around and doesn't knock me out when I pull it along. All in all it is an OK product but they could have done a much better job with the design--you must wrap the cord on the bottom for storage-not a useful feature at all--does it work ok? Sure it does. Should you buy it? Only if you don't mind all the above draw backs.

Question: What qualities is the customer looking for in this coffeemaker?

We were looking for an inexpensive and simple coffeemaker. None of that digital timer stuff, just an old-fashioned on-off switch. We made the mistake of getting a different one--and ended up sending it back. We looked again, saw this Mr. Coffee offering, and decided to try it out.What a difference! The way the top flips up separate from the water delivery system means it's easy to put in both the coffee and the water; much better than having to flip the filter compartment open from the side. The carafe feels sturdy, doesn't spill coffee all over the place, and holds the full 12 cups we expected. The switch being in front makes it easier to turn on and off (the other one slid all over when trying to turn it on). The coffee stays hot, but not so hot to scorch. Not that we end up leaving it on; we tend to drink all the coffee each time we make it!Did I mention the coffee tastes great?

Question: How does the author describe their vacuum?

I have not bought a vacuum in many decades so maybe I am easy to impress. However, this machine is amazing. It was easy to assemble, the attachments are logical and it is quiet for a vacuum.It became obvious how great this vacuum is when I went over areas I had just cleaned with my old vacuum. Everything looks better. We have a lot of tile floors and this handles those as well as carpets. The dirt cup is super easy and neat to empty.I did struggle using this to clean our 15 carpeted steps to the second floor. The hose is very tight on the new machine and I hit myself on the head a few times by pulling the vacuum over. This is mostly a learning curve issue and I do not hold it against the machine.I defy anyone to find a better vacuum for 80$. It is amazing.

Question: What does he dislike about the product?

This induction cooktop cuts down on boiling time about half from what it takes on my electric range. No complaints there. The problem for me with this cooktop is its incessant beeping. You take a pot off the surface from where it's been boiling to pour some water into your cup, and it beeps immediately until you put it back down. It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm" instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. Some days I move slowly, and get beeped/yelled at a lot by this cooktop. It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. I'd rather get a different induction cooktop that's a bit friendlier and doesn't beep at me so much.

Question: What happened to the first mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Answer: behaving erratically

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. <hl> This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically .The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. <hl> I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities.

Question: Is the handle comfortable?

I've been vacillating for a while about one of these machines because, let's face it - they're EXPENSIVE. When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent.WELL! It's definitely money well-spent!I have several different flooring types - area rugs, vinyl flooring, hardwood, and a particularly miserable burgundy plush. This vacuum handled them all with ease, made that plush look like brand new! I was amazed, well almost EMBARRASSED, when I saw how much dirt and cat hair this thing pulled out of my rugs.It maneuvers fairly easily, emptying it is child's play - I agree the wand is somewhat awkward until you get the hang of it, and the handle is a bit uncomfortable to MY hand to use for any length of time, but overall I still rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. I am planning to purchase the low-reach tool and the soft dusting too!

Question: What is the size?

I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw, 50 X 70 inches. Made in Portugal, it is a 60% cotton/ 40% acrylic blend that is incredibly warm and soft for both its size and thickness.This has a reversible contrast pattern (note: flipped-down corner of the product photo) that looks really amazing. It adds an elegance to my family room, making it an appropriate complement for nearly every season.This is made with the type of overlocking stitching that I usually see around the edges on many higher-quality fleece throws. However, it goes even further by having an embroidered edge ON TOP of the usual stitching.I am now ready to stop bringing my bulky, fuzzy green queen-sized comforter (a major eyesore) into the living room to keep off the chill.Truly, the attention to detail along with quality material/construction gives me confidence that I should be able to enjoy the warm comfort of this beautiful throw for years to come. Love it!

Question: What color is their holiday china?

All my life I have admired the patterned dinnerware passed down through my family, and when I got married I was glad to be able to finally choose my own. I chose a plain white service for my everyday china and Winterberry for my holiday china. I initially had my eye on a different set, but I received two Winterberry votive candle holders for my first married Christmas, and fell in love. I had to have the dinnerware set to match. I received 2 of this 16 pc set as a Christmas gift from my aunt (who shares my love of the Winterberry set) and also received a similar set by Lenox from a friend of the family, which included more cups, bowls, plates, and even a little lamp. The Lenox and Pfaltzgraff look fine together, you can barely tell them apart, especially with food piled on top. I've used the set for the last 3 holidays and nothing has broken or chipped, in spite of being used around a toddler and in the dishwasher.

Question: What function does the review use for a stronger beverage?

I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . It is clever design and the cleaning process is simple and quick .. no filters no mess , I cheat on my Tassimo with this one and for me the coffee I choice taste better , it is so much cheaper so I am keeping it , love the design and overall presentation and the price is nice also , I tried to make also tea and worked well and for sure I am not going back to regular coffee maker again that's for sure ..

Question: What family member used to have a bread machine?

I bought this bread machine because I was really tired of buying bread at the store that listed ingredients on the bag that were about as long as the white pages. I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I sometimes have trouble making toast, plus it is time consuming and messy. I figured I would go the easier route and buy a bread machine to make bread because it would just make me feel better eating fresh bread, where I know what is going into it.My grandma used to have a bread machine and I remember that smell of fresh baked bread being so awesome so that is an added bonus. I made two loaves of bread, one on the express loaf option (took about an hour) and the Italian Herb Bread (without the herbs because I didn't have any) and they both turned out great. The crust is perfect, the bread tastes amazing, and I can't wait to make more.I bought some good flour for the bread, by good I mean it is whole grain, grown in USA and any GMO. It actually wasn't a whole lot more than regular bleached flour, and cost me $4.00 at Wal-Mart (which surprised me) and I would buy it again.I would say that if you want some good bread that is easy to make, get this bread machine, because if I can do it...you can do it.

Question: What does not fit?

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

Question: What color is the basket?

I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. I just like to do my routine with creams, lotions etc while in the living room and with so many bottles, cotton pads etc, it could look messy on a shelf or on a side table. This little basket does the job perfectly - it's the ideal size to hold all of my items and is very sturdy, has a very stylish look, the brown blends in with my furniture and so having cosmetic bottles in my living room doesn't look nearly as odd! Also, I like the handles, allows me to transport the basket around with ease. I can imagine using this basket and the same set in different sizes for a million things in the apartment, so I will definitely be ordering more. Highly recommend!

Question: What is important for the towel?

The softness and texture of a towel are the utmost importance to me. We ordered one set of these to try them out. The towel didn't seem very think or plush and certainly was not soft. I thought if we washed it, it would be better. It improved a little and certainly is usable and ok, but not the type of towel that I love. It's just Okay.

Question: What aspect of the AC cover's size was bad?

I had ordered 2 AC covers figuring at least one would work. The other came quicky and is much better suited to the job, although neither will work without finegaling. This one FINALLY came, eventhough the seller did not even let Amazon know they shipped it. It's HUGE! Better plan on using it on an AC that's at least close to 10,000 BTUs. It's nothing more than some lightweight material (kind of like a mattress pad, with a draw string inlieu of elastic). Aside from the fact that it's huge, my AC's a frigidaire and the top corners are rounded. None of these covers can hook on that, so that's something I never thought of but you may want to keep that in mind if you are looking for one of these covers, because not all ACs are a plain rectangle. The "fits up to 10,000 BTUs" is a false statement, there's no way this will fit my 5,000 BTU AC, it's too big, period. So, because it was inexpensive and would cost more than it's worth to ship back, I'm stuck with it. Even if it did fit, don't think it would do a lot of good with the thin material it's made of. Was expecting something to block drafts, not a mini drawstring mattress cover...

Question: How long does it take to heat the bedroom up to 80 degrees?

This little guy heats my bedroom every night. My room is about 250 sf and this guy heats it up in less than an hour from the daytime temp of about 50-60 degrees up to a steamy 75-80 like i like it. Then I just turn down the dial to maintain the temp i want. Really quiet, i never notice it at all when it is on the Hi or Low setting. If you set it on a specific temperature it does turn on and off successively to try to regulate a specific temp, so that could be annoying. I usually leave it on Low while I sleep. Great deal for the cost!

Question: How is the build quality?

very well built although it might be difficult to manage whale putting together if you are someone who is not familiar with assembling something like this but that being said about the only thing you need that would help a lot when assembling this would be a simple rubber mallet so you could tap the shelves into place and this would be much easier to assemble if two or more people were doing it but I did it myself and did not have any problems for it is very straightforward for there are many plastic spacers that are split in half that go around the pole that when the shelf is slid through the polls it locks the shelves in place and you just have to make sure you have each spacer in the proper place because the shelves can be adjusted at about an inch in height in increments so you can have some shelves that are closer together than others.

Question: what kind of grip is need to hold onto the handle so it doesn't slip?

Great lid and it opens so you can clean, hold fluids hot for long time and overall is an excellent product and design. My only quibble is the handle is so slick it's hard to hold and sip from without having a death grip on it. If it had some texture and your grip could be more natural it would be even better....IMHO. I was thinking a Silicon sleeve would be the bomb but like you can just find one of those anywhere? This isn't a real big issue but just what I've noticed and I'll say I still love these for the canister and lid mechanisms.

Answer: death grip

Great lid and it opens so you can clean, hold fluids hot for long time and overall is an excellent product and design. <hl> My only quibble is the handle is so slick it's hard to hold and sip from without having a death grip on it. <hl> If it had some texture and your grip could be more natural it would be even better....IMHO. I was thinking a Silicon sleeve would be the bomb but like you can just find one of those anywhere? This isn't a real big issue but just what I've noticed and I'll say I still love these for the canister and lid mechanisms.

Question: How many speeds does it have?

We don't wear shoes in our house so our carpets don't get extremely dirty; it's more about cleaning dust, pollen and general grime. This machine is perfect for that. If you have pets, kids & lots of dirt, you may want a beefier machine.-It's really easy to use & comes apart so you can clean it up after each use.-3-Speed Brush including "brush off" so you can just pick up spills. Handy when I overfill a houseplant & need to get that dirty water off the carpet quickly.-Brushes come off so you can easily clean them.-Tank is easy to unlatch, clean & refill.-Does a good job of sucking up the cleaning water so your carpets don't get drenched & they dry faster. The forced heat feature also helps with drying.

Question: What is the brand name of the product?

For our wedding registry, we chose this Colorwave set. That was more than ten years ago. I liked it because the color (we have green) was attractive, and it wasn't too fancy for everyday use. The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked. The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs, which haven't nicked at all. Considering it's been ten years, I don't think the nicking problem is all that bad. I just have to be extra careful with the bowls. They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another.

Question: How many bags does the Panasonic vacuum come with?

Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the bags lasted. Even though they aren't terribly big, they are very sturdy and expand to hold a great deal more dust and dirt that expected. Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material. They are very easy to change and don't "leak" dirt and dust all over when you take them out of the canister. At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house.

Question: Why is the material safe for the environment?

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: Why is the customer unhappy with their purchase?

I have been using this breadmaker for over an year now and every loaf comes out marvelous! It looks sharp, and its easy to clean.I found that adding an egg or two, and sometimes a little beer to the bread recipes makes the loafs come out FLUFFY FLUFFY FLUFFY!Wonderful!AND... at only about $1/loaf for ingredients, it pays for itself within a few months.***************************December 24, 2013Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells. Here it is, Christmas Eve, and I have another piece of worthless Cuisinart junk although I used to swear by this brand. I had to buy a $20. replacement bin a few months earlier because that had fallen apart as well.I made about 2 loaves a month with this breadmaker, so it sure wasn't overworked.It hardly survived to the two year mark and that seems wrong to me because this product was not cheap and I took good care of it.I am done with Cuisinart.

Question: What is the benefit of using this coffeemaker?

This is the best coffemaker we have owned. Coffee tastes better..no pot to clean. I find filling the water reservoir to be no more difficult than other conventional coffee makers. No leaking issues either.Was a little hesitant to purchase due to some of the negative comments posted here but I have no complaints. No matter how good a product is someone will always be unhappy with it. Steve P

Question: What is the other make and model of coffee grinder mentioned in this article?

I purchased this grinder last June. It is an okay grinder, but it doesn't measure up to my old one - literally. This grinder puts out a LOT of coffee. For instance, I normally add about 4 cups of water to the coffee maker for my morning coffee. With my old grinder, I would turn the dial to 4. It coordinated perfectly with the amount of added water. This grinder, however, puts out a lot more coffee. I only turn it to 2 1/2. It's not a huge gripe I suppose, but I wasted a lot of coffee and drank a lot of bitter brews before finally perfecting it.On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble.Bottom line: It's okay, but you can either get a comparable grinder cheaper or a nicer grinder for the same money in my opinion. My parents own a $60 Cuisinart from Kitchen Collection that works just as well if not better.

Question: What color are the cups?

Got the standard size white cups; nothing special about them as they're just your basic white cupcake liner. Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? There's NO need for holes!) So, my first impression - unsanitary. They should be tightly packaged, especially for being a food-related item you can't wash. It was literally covered in brown dust/fine powder like it was on the shelf for months without dusting and I know some of this dirty powder got into the wrapping via the holes on both sides; hence onto the liners. I've a neuroticism about cleanliness so this was a turn-off. I'm going to be baking foods in these things and it's not like you can wash them beforehand, because hello, they're thin paper! I subsequently purchased the Wilton cupcake linersWilton Assorted Baking Cups, 75 Countwhich were not only cheaper (and didn't have any of the dust blanketing the product's casing) but were also of much higher quality; plus, the packaging of these liners were enclosed in a tough plastic wrap with ZERO HOLES for dirt to get in.

Question: What is the first benefit the reviewer mentions?

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

Question: What was the purchased based on?

This is a great little vacuum. I bought it bc we have very little carpet in our house but it it on the stairs. I was using a reg vacuum, but when it wen caput I decided to look for something easier to use. I ended up with this based on reviews and price and Im so glad I did. It works so well. It sucks up tons of dirt. The stairs have never looked so good. Its handy and easy to hold and the cord is very long so it stretch a long way. I use it on my rugs in the house and even on the 1 little room that has carpet. I know its not convienant to vacuum on you hands and knees, but I hated to buy another reg vacuum if this would work and sure enough it does.

Question: What item is being reviewed?

As a born Brit, steeping a good cup of tea is a great way to take a break in the afternoon (or anytime!). There are plenty of loose tea infusers, plain old stainless steel balls that hang off the side of your cup. But who wants to be so ordinary?This is a sweet little tea infuser. It holds the perfect amount for a single cup of tea and fills and assembles easily. The silicone leaf handle is easy to hold and although the tea infuser can float a little, it does a great job of steeping a cup of tea. When you are done, there is no need to find a saucer or napkin to rest it on because it comes with the perfect matching silicone mini-dish.Everything washes up easily and emptying the used tea leaves is also easy since the stainless steel is only the bottom half - plenty of opening to tap it out.A nice set for yourself or a tea drinking friend! Sample was provided for testing and review.

Question: What does the hamper lose when laundry is inside it?

It's a simple hamper so there's not much to comment on other than one thing that is slightly annoying and the reason for 4 stars - In the picture, the hamper stands perfectly straight but 2 of the folding creases on are along the left and right wall so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold, which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form. It's not terrible, but I, personally, would rather have a hamper that doesn't bulge. Other than that, it's solid.
