Question: How much does the wife weigh?

We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains. Anyways this Mattress Topper has solved that issue and I enjoy the extra softness as well! It is definitely a cheaper alternative than returning our mattress and upgrading to one of the tempurpedic "cloud" series which basically just has a pillow top stitched onto their patented memory foam

Answer: 120 lbs

Question: What are mixed?

The Amazon reviews are mixed, and for good reason. Mine arrived with a couple small scratches in the otherwise very cool candy-apple red surface. Oh well. But the really bad news was yet to come. After doing the suggested burn-in (one cycle with no bread - and yep, there really is a noxious odor from that), I set the darkness control to about 4.5 (ranges from 1 to 7). Burnt, completely burnt. So I set it down to 3.5. Burnt again. 2.5 - barely brown. 3 - burnt. And, as other reviews note, it doesn't toast evenly on both sides. One reviewer thought that was great; I think it sucks. I guess Oster is owned by Sunbeam, and who knows who owns them, but these products that are thrown together in China or elsewhere where they pay $.02/hr for labor can hardly be expected to be reliable, can they? Aint the global economy f'in' wonderful?!

Question: How did the author check the accuracy of the thermometer?

I bought this themometer along with a Taylor Classic to replace my old and inaccurate probe thermometers. I measured ice water and boiling water with each to check the 32 and 212 temperatures. The CDN measured 33 and 211 while the Taylor measured 36 and 190 degrees. I was able to adjust the accuracy of the Taylor some by using the hex bolt on the back but this calibration should have been done at the factory. Also since the Taylor calibratrion was off high at the low setpoint and low at the high setpoint it cant be accurate in the entire temperature range. I would give the CDN a 5 star rating except I've had poor reliability on previous digital thermometers. I'm hoping for this one to work well over time.

Question: What are these towels made out of?

These towels are, well, fine. They don't stand out in any real way. They aren't extra thick, or soft, or absorbent, or pretty---they are just standard white cotton dishcloths with blue trim. I used and washed them a few times, and they washed pretty well, but didn't really get softer or better (or worse) with washing. They are not fuzzy or plush---they are broadcloth cotton. I don't think they'd fall apart or anything like that, but they really don't stand out in any way. I'd get them if you feel the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special.

Question: What safety feature can make the use of the processor challenging?

This unit has a nice large 14 cup bowl along with a smaller one, a nice idea. As with all food processors there are safety features and you must line up the bowl and the shoot and lock before activating food processor. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy but the first time can be tricky.This unit is powerful and super fast. The shoot is larger than the processor I have now which is a plus. Under the motor you can wrap the power cord, which prevents a messy cord. My one negative issue so far is the unit with the bowls needs plenty of storage room.Highly recommend but you will need storage room.

Question: What did this person buy?

We had a generic rice maker/steamer for a long time.Sometimes the rice came out soggy and sometimes too dry. My daughter frequently travels to Japan and wanted to enjoy the same types of rice here that she experienced in Japan. I called Zojirushi and spoke with someone there who helped me to pick out the best model for our purposes and we love it.We also wanted to purchase one that was manufactured in Japan and she told us which ones were. While we support American made products, in this case we wanted to help the country that has been so devastated by the Tsunami, floods and earthquakes beyond what we have experienced. There are also some models that are made in the US if you prefer that.So far I have cooked Sushi rice, white medium rice and brown Gaba rice in it. Every time the rice comes out beautifully done. I love that you just set it and forget it. You can set it to time delay start too. I get a kick out of the fact that when it starts and finishes it plays a musical tune. It makes me grin every time. However if the tune annoys you - you can reprogram it to a beep. The rice maker itself is fairly small, low profile and looks classy with it's stainless steel exterior.It is easy to clean. I am 100% pleased with the product and can highly recommend it. Someone else mentioned that they didn't like the "large" cord.. that didn't bother me at all.

Question: What was made?

After these arrived, my husband saw them on the kitchen counter and asked why I had them.You see, we don't have any kids in the house anymore (not unless they come home from college!).I told him to wait and see....Next thing you know we are on the screened porch enjoying....(wait for it)....margarita ice pops!!We loved them! It was all I could do to not have another!As far as the Ice Pop Makers themselves, they worked beautifully, no leaking, easy to clean,and just the right size....unless you're having margarita pops...then you might want two.Just sayin.

Question: What did the author get on the bottom of the item?

This popper does what its' meant to do. I have yet to experience zero un-popped kernels, but it comes close. The one thing that threw me off is how thin this thing is- extremely cheap materials. Any thinner and it would qualify as tinfoil. It's so thin the bottom dented when accidentally set on the stove top too hard- wasn't a big deal because my finger did a fine job of pushing the dent back out (yes, it's that thin!). The light build along with plastic gears lead me to believe me that the popper isn't going to last very long. Spend the extra $20-30 and get the Lindy's popper.

Question: What did I make?

Like this breakfast pancake. Fun to make and something that's easy to learn trial and error. I did 1/4 turns spooning a little more batter and letting them set. You just have to make sure the last done edge is touching the batter at the finish. I was able to get the round shape this way but there may more than to it than that. I just started cooking with it yesterday. I would like them more airy. The only minus star to the cast iron pan is the almost diesel like smell no kidding that comes from the pan once it gets very hot. Lodge has a small plain skillet for about the same price without that chemical odor. I don't think it's necessary to skimp on the seasoning technique, which I feel is the problem. Hopefully it'll go away and I do like this pan and recommend it but with reservations.

Question: Is it cheaper to buy the filters at a big box store?

Over the years I've tried a number of the reusable K-cup gizmos and had come to the conclusion that none of them were designed right. None of the companies making these things seem to take in account that the water actually needs to be in contact with the coffee for some period of time to make a decent cup of coffee. If you take a look at a used k-cup, you'll see that there is a small hole in the top where the water goes in and a small hole in the bottom where the coffee comes out. Most of these filter units have large screened opening that don't allow any pressure to build up like a real k-cup does. So you end up with a very weak cup of coffee even if you over pack the filter.But the design of this Keuring My K-Cup filter is different, it actually takes the place of the whole coffee unit. You can actually get a drinkable cup of coffee from it, even without using a ton of grounds. The one thing I still don't like is having to clean out the basket after every cup. So I've been using these -Disposable Filters for Use in Keurig Brewers - Simple Cups - 50 Replacement Filters - Use Your Own Coffee in K-cups. They make the chore a bit more palpable.I might note that I'm using this filter with a Mr. Coffee brand k-cup machine and had no problems installing it. Something else that might be of interest. I purchased the filter I'm using at the local big-box store and paid nearly twice what they want for one here (doh!).

Question: What happens if you open it?

Only has even number of grounds setting. I make 5 cups every day (regular mug and mug to go). I have to set it at 4 cups then start it again and then pull the plug to make it stop.The first time I made the mistake of opening the top lid. Woosh! Grounds fly every where.So I have to pour it out the small square hole. Tilting it back and forth and tapping it. Makes no sense.Can't see inside the hopper after first couple of uses. Unless you want to wash it every time.Noise does not bother me.Other than that, I like it. Consisten grounds size.Would recommend it.

Question: How long has the user owned the pan?

I received this pan for FREE is exchange for my honest review. I have owned this pan for 1 week. I first seasoned the pan with a small amount of oil like the instructions stated. I have cooked eggs, pancakes and pan-fried a small fillet of fish on this pan since then. Everything slides right off. After the pan cools I wash it with warm, soapy water then towel dry. I have had no issues with the pan and I think that if you follow the instructions it came with it will last a very long time. Because the pan is free of a lot of harmful chemicals I think it is a great buy.

Question: What did the waffles we made taste outside?

We decided we wanted to make Belgian waffles at home and the ability to turn the waffles over while baking seemed like a good idea. We've had the old kind of waffle maker and the first waffle was always a throw away. We were fully prepared to throw out the first waffle, but to our amazement, it came out perfect. Nothing went to waste. We followed the instructions, and the waffles were crispy outside and nice inside. We used the yeast raised waffle recipe that came with the waffle maker. We'll try a different recipe next time, because there are several that sound good. We don't make waffles often, but it's nice to know we can make good ones whenever we have a craving for waffles.

Question: What does the purchaser warns against purchasing?

Forget all of those cheap plastic travel mugs. There must be a graveyard somewhere of millions of those little disappointments.Instead, pony-up a few extra bucks and finally get the travel mug you deserve.The Thermos travel mug is well made and, here's the thing, it actually keeps drinks hot or cold. What a concept ! I knew it was different right away when I picked it up and felt it's weight and solid construction. I also noticed I couldn't feel the heat from a hot beverage in my hand.I purchased one with a handle for my wife who often has her hands full as she rushes out in the morning and one without the handle for me.So, don't hesitate. This is the travel mug you've been dreaming about.

I knew it was different right away when I picked it up and felt it's weight and solid construction. I also noticed I couldn't feel the heat from a hot beverage in my hand. I purchased one with a handle for my wife who often has her hands full as she rushes out in the morning and one without the handle for me. So, don't hesitate.

Question: Why does the person's son likes the water that freezes in the tray?

So, I bought this mold, to use as an ice cube tray. Also to mould some fondant for my son's lego birthday cake. So far I've only used it as an ice cube tray. The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. This is VERY flimsy, the water was falling as I transferred it to the freezer. I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos, and my son loves it as well. But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer

Question: What number is this purchase for them?

This is my second set of silicone. The other set I have is a bit thicker, but as you need to put this on something else anyway, I'm not sure thinner matters. It might even be easier to pop muffins out.Several reviewers mentioned sticking and cleaning issues. I have always used at least some oil and have had no problem removing my muffins as long as I am patient enough for them to cool down. A bit of twisting and pushing from the bottom and they pop right out.As to cleaning, I just soak for a few minutes in hot soapy water and then wipe out with a paper towel. Then I throw it in the dishwasher. Maybe the people with problems are cooking something very sticky?I like these silicone pans a lot.

Question: What material is the new set made of?

i think so! after having owned a Calphalon contemporary non-stick set for 8 years with non-stick coating peeling off (ugh...health hazard??), it was time to replace with new pieces. my new set is stainless steel in the interior, but i purchased this skillet for cooking the occasional omelette and eggs (i hear non-stick is better for it). great quality feel, sturdy weight, and the non-stick is super slick and easy to clean. i would go for this line of cookware if i was in the market for a non-stick set.

Question: What overflows?

I have had the Zojirushi coffee maker for over 6 months now. If I had it to do over again, I'd purchase a different brand of coffee maker. Here's why: The lid on the carafe is too difficult to open and once open the coffee pours out too slowly. The coffee holder must be placed a certain way or you'll wake up to counters and floors full of spilled coffee. If even a little bit of coffee overflows the filter it is certain to clog the carafe and once again, counters and floors are running over with coffee. My opinion is that the Zojirushi is overpriced, under-engineered, and not a great choice.

Question: How do you collapse the board?

This is a solid and well-constructed ironing board. The best part about it is that the wide end is wider than your average ironing board which makes it nice ironing for men's shirts. When it's folded flat, it is shorter than an average bar by a good foot; it's a little thicker by about two inches. It has a heavy feel and definitely is more stable than my old ironing board. There are a few moving parts and that concerns me a bit for the long haul, but the workmanship looks good, so it will probably be OK. The front leg has a button you push to collapse it and it's a bit of a trick to press that at just the right time when closing the board so as not to nick your finger. I still rate it very high for an ironing board and definitely recommend it.

Question: What kind of product is talked about?

This is the worst ice cream scoop ever. The part of the scoop that attaches to the handle is only about 1/4 inch in diameter. It's a total scam; they made it look thicker, by making the part that holds the scoop 4 times as wide. You can't tell by looking at it, because they have cleverly disguised it with the plastic handle. I found out when the handle broke off in my hand, while trying to scoop some hard ice cream. Oxo, you should be ashamed of yourselves for making this piece of junk, which was clearly designed to deceive the consumer. I'll likely never buy an Oxo product again.

Question: How sharp are Wusthof knives?

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

Question: Which type of pans did they buy from NordicWare in the past?

I've been a longtime customer of NordicWare products due to their ease of use, durability, and the fact that they're still made with pride in the USA. Most of my prior NordicWare purchases were Bundt pans, but I've recently expanded into baking pies, so I purchased a covered pie pan.No longer do you have to worry about storing those pesky meringue pies; this high-domed lid eliminates squashed meringues or smashed sky-high toppings. The heavy-duty aluminum pie pan browns and bakes evenly and is a snap to wash. The plastic cover prevents odor absorption from other smelly fridge co-inhabitants, and preserves those perfect peaks on your lemon meringue or the lovely latticework crust on your cherry pie. If you're a frequent pie baker (or pie giver), you owe it to yourself (and your pies) to have one or more of these gems in your kitchen!

Question: What helps with drying?

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 would the sound machine have to be to match the noise of this humidifier?

I bought this without bothering to read the reviews first and what a mistake and waste of money that was. This humidifier is LOUD; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. Another reviewer said they had to get a sound/sleep machine to duplicate the sound it makes. Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck! And it leaks! Not just a little, either and not something just a hand towel can absorb. Noisy, leaky and wholly unsatisfactory! I already own the Crane "Penguin" and couldn't be happier with that but I didn't want to have to drive all the way to the store that has them. I should have because now I'm going to have to do it anyway. Also, the filters get nasty in a very short period of time and I'm not crazy about trying to find them or wasting money changing them out when all I want to do is add a little humidity to the air. After all, you're adding clear tap water not something you dredged out of the drainage ditch. Amazon needs to add a "zero" stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return!

Question: What is the price of the repair to the 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.

Question: What's the first thing a potential purchase might experience when first seeing the portable A/C unit on a website?

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock, but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. First the portability. Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs, but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. The portable in the title doesn't imply lightweight to some, so I'm making the clarification here.The portable unit covers about 550 square feet, which is wonderful if you have a small apartment, loft or studio. It's also wonderful to have if you live in an apartment complex where AC is only on from say, May to August and you experience a heat wave or you live in the South where it's still warm long after Summer ends. In any of these cases this A/C unit will be a godsend. This would also be great on a screened in porch.Now even though you don't need to put the unit in a window, you do need to use one for the Window, which again limits the actual portability for the unit. The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of <hl> sticker shock <hl> , but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny.


Question: What kind of tea I am using?

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

Question: What does the product come with?

I need my water ice cold and the freezer at work is across the building. I fill this sucker up with ice and water in the morning, stick a straw in it, and the water is kept ice cold all day long. No more runing to the water cooler every time I need to fill up my glass. One time in the morning and this thing keeps me honest about the amount of water I'm drinking in a day! Took it camping once and it was nice to actually take the keg while I was swimming in the lake and the flip top prevented any splashes of lake water from getting into my drink.. plus the bottle opener! Sweet! I've tipped this thing over on my desk with the flip top sealed over the straw and only a couple drops came out, not a drop even hit my desk, only wet the sides of the lip a bit. I've also drank without a straw and the when tipped over to drink, the seal doesn't leak. Love this thing!

Question: What color of mug did the person's husband borrow?

I'm trying to cut plastics out of our lives, slowly but surely. I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals. This mug is metal completely except for the lid, so I'm compromising because the minimal contact with the plastic only while sipping is probably less dangerous than spilling boiling coffee on myself.Keeps my coffee very hot! Tight seal, no spills. I've even turned it upside down in my purse by accident when I was waking into work and no spill! My husband started borrowing my purple one because it keeps coffee so hot, so I got him a blue one and we're both happy now.

Question: What do you dislike about the experience?

My husband and I love this fondue pot period. I've only had one time that something burnt to the bottom and that was my fault for turning the heat up too high. We've tried broths, cheese, and chocolate in it and couldn't be happier! My only complaint is what it seems all overs have griped about too, the cord is very short. We even have an outlet right under our table and still need an extension cord, but unlike most others we don't really mind using one. No, it's not pretty but it lets us eat our fondue on the table and not on the floor. One piece of advice I will give others is when preparing to use a broth, preheat the pot. If not it will take forever to heat up enough to actually cook your food.

Question: What was the main perk of the new Hoover vacuum?

We replaced our old Hoover after years of service. Having a large dog takes a toll on vacuums in terms of nasty odors over time. I prefer bag less vacuums so my wife has no excuse not to clean such as out of bags (just kidding). The suction seems pretty good, it is much lighter weight than our old unit. It is not a rainbow or some other miracle vacuum that costs 10 times the price, so keeping that in mind it works well. If you need a $2000 vacuum to clean your floors I would suggest more frequent cleanings, or calling a therapist. I clean mine occasionally out side with compressed air to get all the dog stink out of the filter housings. Be sure to clean all of the filters a few times per year.

Question: Is there anything that would make the garlic press more functional?

This garlic press works just fine! I had typically bought and used minced garlic from a jar with more or less satisfactory results. I longed to buy and try fresh garlic cloves to see if it improved some of my great recipes that call for the spice.I liked that you could put in several of the cloves at once. The pressed garlic was easy to remove from the holes in the press and could be "shaken" into the mixing dish or onto the food I was preparing. Cleanup was easy! The only thing missing is a hole in the black handle in case you want to hang it inside a cupboard. I don't hang mine as I have a rotating utensil carousel, just letting people know that there is not one.Great bridal shower gift or a nice present for your favorite cook!

Question: What does the writer say is nice about the product?

These are a great way to be creative with summer snacking. I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them. Watermelon pops are amazingly refreshing on a hot humid day.I also lile to use fresh fruit juice of any flavor, raspberry lime is a favorite. Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. And the nicest part is that I control what goes in. As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids. I know that doesn't sound like such a big deal, but I have the old fashioned Icepop kit, and while it is okay(when the pop comes out on the stick) you have to keep the whole thing in the freezer til they are all consumed or transfer everything to a freezer bag. Again, not really a big deal, but I am not a fan of there being extra steps and more work for me. These molds, once frozen, are self contained and can just be put in any space in your freezer. I love that convenience...plus no stick to worry about.

Question: What problems did the item have?

I was intrigued with this product since it had great reviews from other customers, but I was disappointed. First off, it looked like it was used, and the light that was supposed to come on when plugged in worked intermittenly. The unit produced enough steam, but it was not hot. I could put my hand in front of it and the steam was just warm. I returned the product, after two failed attempts at trying to clean anything with it. I don't know if it was just a bad unit, or if all steamers work this way.

Question: What three brands of chocolate are mentioned as needing to be thinned out?

Purchased as a replacement for another unit of a different brand that stopped working. While the unit is well made and works perfectly, it's a bit large. It will take all of 4 lbs of chocolate to get this flowing properly and I suggest you have another couple of pounds on hand to replenish during a party. You can use any type of chocolate, but all chocolate will need to be melted first. Some regular chocolates, Hershey, Godiva, Ghirardelli and the like will need to be thinned out with vegetable oil. The Wilton Pro chocolate can be used without adding oil. I had to play with it a bit to get the perfect flow. Better to add oil slowly and in small increments. Too thin and it won't flow. Same for too thick. Clean up was a bit of a pain, but what do you expect. It's a great feature for any type of gathering. Be sure to have plenty of fruit, pretzels, cookies and other "stuff" to dip or your guests will be dipping their fingers!

Question: How heavy are they

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

Question: Where did they get the liner and hooks?

I got this shower curtain to match my Audrey's Garden accessories that I bought on clearance at BBB several years ago. Each piece of the collection has a different flower in white on a black background, absolutely beautiful, although I didn't get the glasses. The shower curtain is translucent, but I put a black liner behind it. It is absolutely beautiful! The photo is at the side, as you can see, not in the middle of the shower curtain. This is a real plus because you can push the shower curtain to the side and still see most of the beautiful photo of tulips on the shower curtain. I got the hooks and the black liner here at amazon.com, could have gotten the shower curtain, too, but I didn't know it was here and I had already ordered the curtain from walmart.com. Had it shipped to the store so I didn't have to pay postage. I recommend the curtain, the black liner and the little black painted flower shower hooks.

Question: what is the best part in the product?

I have not owned a juicer in quite a few years. So it was quite a treat to try out this one.While it is plastic and lightweight, it appears to be quite durable. It juiced anything I "threw" at it, though as someone mentioned it occasionally gets to the point where the pulp builds up in the strainer, and it has to be cleaned out, especially with larger citrus. That's PROBABLY typical ... I remember my old one doing the same thing.Best part of this one is that the container doubles as a pitcher.Overall I like it very much.

Question: How much less electricity does the Breville toaster oven use than a regular oven?

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.
