Question: What is the type of writer the writer is?

Directions could have been better (especially diagrams) but I'm a technical writer so I'm fussy that way. It went together nicely nonetheless--I needed an extra pair of hands only briefly. For a really nice finish you'll need to devote some time to sanding, but it was OK as it came out of the box. Be sure to hang onto the big Allen wrench so you can tighten up the bolts when it starts to squeak after a couple of months. Overall, it's a good looking piece for the money. Packaging and delivery were all good.

Question: What was the decanter doing that people didn't like?

Perfect replacement after I broke the original decanter for my FT series coffeemaker. I almost didn't order this after reading the negative reviews about leaking, but I'm very glad I did. This decanter has a much cleaner pour that the one that came with my coffeemaker and doesn't leak at all. Maybe they have improved the design? Very pleased.UPDATE: I've had this for a couple of months now, and it has started to leak. Not just tons of liquid, but enough to make a nice puddle on the counter top. Come on, Mr Coffee, how hard could it be to make a coffee pot that works?? Changed my rating from 5 stars to 3, should've just bought a new coffee maker.

Question: What was done before purchasing the product?

For the price there are no complaints from me. I did a little research and concluded on this product. I needed a simple cutting board for the kitchen and that's exactly what I receieved. It has stood up to the dishwasher and all the punishment I've put it through. Having said that, this board is only 12x8" so don't expect something that's going to cover half your counter because it most certainly won't. It's a nice product for the smaller cooking tasks and thus far seems to be worth the little amount of money I had to spend on it in the first place.

Question: What kind of soup was cooked in the pot?

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

Question: What is the problem with The Dorkfood with respect to temperature setting?

The Dorkfood is cheap and it works. So there's that. Pair it with a bucket heater or a crockpot with a dial and you're good to go.There are a couple downsides. For one, it's Fahrenheit only, whereas most sous vide recipes are in Celsius, so be prepared to type "50 c to f" into google every time you use it.For another, the UI is kinda crappy. When you hit the temp button, you could not possibly want to do anything other than change the temp. What does it do? Nothing. You have to hold down the button for what feels like a minute before you actually can.These are minor gripes though, and as a result I give it a solid 4 stars.

Question: What did the writer find out from some bad reviews?

I thought I had rated this vacuum before. I can't say enough about it. I've read some bad reviews about people not getting response from Hoover. I had a problem at about the one year point with the handle. It broke right where the screw is to hold it to the rest of the product. I called Hoover and I had another handle within three weeks. I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it so I think that speeded up the process. How else do they know when you've purchased it and aren't trying to scam them. Since getting the new handle, I use clear packaging tape to help secure it to the base to hold it sturdier. I highly recommend people register their product as soon as they receive it. I use in the kitchen and bathrooms but not on carpet as we have a heavier one for that. If/when something does eventually happen to it after the warranty period, I will definitely get another one.

Question: Why didn't the writer buy the blender online?

I bought this last night from a brick and mortar store, I didn't want to wait for shipping. So far I am impressed. I am following a 3 day detox/cleanse from Dr. Oz's site, so I picked up this blender. The unit feels really well built and sturdy. The grips on the bottom of the device are like superglue, the device is not going to go anywhere. It packs a punch and does so without making you wish you had ear protection. It does not take up too much counter space, which is a huge plus. So far I am happy with it. I read the booklets that came with it and made sure to follow the directions. One of the books has recipes and is very bright with color. I made 3 shakes with it last night and it powered right through them. I had no leaking and everything was very well blended.Owned it for one day, no regrets about my purchase.

Question: How did the writer find out that the rubber doesn't make a tight seal?

These worked fine for me at first. But the rubber seems to lose some of its filling power over time and doesn't make a tight seal, as I found out when the cork that was sealed slipped out of a red wine bottle on its side. If you buy these I suggest you test it on each use; grasp it by the rim and lift the bottle, making sure it doesn't slip out. When it slips out, its usefulness is over. Also I had the lever mechanism break on one of them. I have since bought a brand at Bed Bath and Beyond that has a much more solid feeling thick toggle in the center, and 1+ years with no problems.

Question: Where did the writer buy a good lever mechanism break?

Answer: Bed Bath and Beyond

These worked fine for me at first. But the rubber seems to lose some of its filling power over time and doesn't make a tight seal, as I found out when the cork that was sealed slipped out of a red wine bottle on its side. If you buy these I suggest you test it on each use; grasp it by the rim and lift the bottle, making sure it doesn't slip out. When it slips out, its usefulness is over.

Question: What is the writer going to replace?

I have an old home with vertical blinds that we've been talking about replacing for a few years, especially since several vanes were broken where they attach at the top.My handyman told me that Home Depot had repair kits (and they do, but contain extra hardware you may not need), but I never got around to addressing it.One day I'd had enough of these things falling down and Googled around and discovered these on Amazon.They are easy to apply and work perfectly.Some say they are a bit pricey for what they're made of, but the ease of use and sturdiness trumps that for me.I fixed over 10 vanes and they are all working perfectly (we have a LOT of vertical blinds).Great product!

Question: How long did the author's old kettle last?

This electric kettle replaced an older model that has worked for 4 years, until the on-off switch became unreliable.This kettle is fantastic and I love watching the water boil through the clear screen in front. The water boils quickly, the kettle is stylish and easy to clean, the filter is removable for cleaning of hard water deposits, and replaceable, AND the pour spout is wide and offers very little spillage.For the price, this kettle will be on my counter for as many years as it will provide us service. No more burnt pots on the stove left unattended by another family member. Never have to remember to turn off the stove, this kettle shuts off automatically. The best way to clean hard-water deposits is to use 1/4 apple cider vinegar in 3 cups of water; boil contents, let sit, clean with non-scratch pad. Presto, and brand new. Enjoy.

Question: What did the author learn to make a few years ago?

I learned how to make pasta by hand a couple of years ago - and that included using a hand crank pasta machine bolted to my kitchen counter.Now that I've got this, I'm not going back!I decided that I had to really enjoy making pasta before investing in these attachments, but now that I have, it is SO much easier. Yes, most of the work of making pasta is in making the dough - and while these rollers obviously won't help with that - when it comes to rolling the dough out and cutting it, these make it much easier than with a crank machine. First off, you don't have to crank it. Yeah, it sounds obvious, but I was worried about the "uncontrolled" speed getting the best of me. Not to worry, if you can use a hand crank, you can use this - and you don't have to worry about it twisting on the counter! Second, it is pretty much at the perfect height - with plenty of room above the counter to maneuver. And finally, while I was worried about these being cheap and/or poorly made, they are (at least the ones I got!) solid and Italian-made.Frankly, I can't believe I waited as long as I did.........
