Question: What is the weight capacity of the product?

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: What has the reviewer felt was never sanitary?

I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles. This basting brust solves that problem perfectly! It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table, but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. It should last for years. I recommend it.

Question: What is the size when it is folded?

Some people see this fan as a way to cool the tent while camping, but my family wanted a backup in case our electricity should fail. It's not a replacement for air conditioning, but has plenty of airflow at arm's length, even on the lower setting. High setting should ventilate diners around the kitchen table.When you pack, it folds into a 4" thickness. The battery enclosure is secure. It trades steel housings for light weight, and I think the trade was worthwhile. 8 D cells does make it heavier, but gives it long runtime.

Question: What is the brand of the skillet?

This thing is great! I've only had it a couple weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, although all the other Presto products I have keep doing what they're supposed to without any breakdowns so I'd guess this one's no exception.Since I got this in the mail, I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! There's so much you can do with it. Another advantage is that it's allot more energy efficient than using a range top. All the energy is directed to one purpose, and not heating up your kitchen instead.And NOTHING sticks to the surface! The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. They have a fairly high sugar content and will stick to virtually anything while cooking over an hour, creating a several hour soak to clean. Groats do this also. Anyway this skillet did the job. I just flipped the skillet over and out came the grits! I didn't even have to pry them out! I'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people. Great stuff!

Question: How do the bottles close?

I've used these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them. We have a set for milk and a set for water. The ONLY thing I wish these had is a little latch to hold the top shut. Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw). I'm guessing it's from bumping against other things in their bags??? We keep them inside gallon sized ziploc bags lined with paper towels now, after I had to replace 2 library books that ended up soaked in my son's backpack. The bags work well to contain the mess if/when they open now, but I REALLY wish there was a latch on these like there is on the bigger ones. Otherwise these are fantastic!

Question: What is being reviewed in the article?

I really like this machine. Really, really like it. And I hate vacuums. It's unnatural how much I like it. It works great, is convenient, and happens to be the best value I could find.The handle release switch almost caused me to return it, but I figured it out after two uses. Here's how to make it work smoothly: * Press the handle forward, * Press the release switch with your whole foot (it takes some pressure; toes won't work, but the outside of my right foot works fine), and * gently pull the handle back.Follow the manual and use a height setting that lets the brushes just contact the carpet to avoid burning up belts. Scrubbing the carpet at a low height doesn't clean better and wears both the machine and the carpet out faster.PROS:** Using attachments is convenient; they don't stick out and stay where they're put. Switching from floor to attachments is easy, too, and the suction is great. I'm surprised how much I like the power paw.** Nothing will revive my 15 year old carpet, but this really cleans deeply. It even pulled the cat hair out of the jute area rug, which has no pile.** The cord clip on the handle makes cord handling a snap. When using attachments I unclip the cord so it comes from the bottom and won't tip the machine over.** The cord is long enough; I only have to move the plug once to do my 1500 square foot apartment.** The brush roll stops when the handle is upright and you can switch it off when you're pushing the vacuum around unplugged. Few vacuums in this price range have that option.** It takes up less room in the closet than my canister vac did.** It's heavy duty, which means it's not great for someone who's frail or has back/shoulder problems. But heavy means solid, which is what I want.CONS:** It's a vacuum cleaner. Really, I hate vacuums, though this one inspires me to clean more often.THINGS I DON'T CARE ABOUT:Noise (I hate vacuums, remember?), hose length (could have bought the GZ instead), hard floor cleaning (don't need it).Overall I'm very satisfied. I bought an extended warranty but don't expect to need it.

Question: How long did their previous iron last?

My husband loves high quality irons. He has used this brand in past and it lasted about 10 years. He asked me to purchase another but I went to local store and paid $40 for a shark. This was a big mistake and waste of money - the iron lasted less than a week and the plate seemed to magically get dirty. The self clean didn't help neither did extensive wiping. I was relieved to get this from amazon and the difference is unbelievable. The contour and glide of this iron is great. It feels good to hold and it catches corners around collars and buttons with ease. I see why my husband loves this iron.

Question: How many knives did the speaker receive as a gift?

I got these as a gift. I wasn't wild about the crazy colors, but as knives go, they are really good.They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized, and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths. I previously had a giant wood block full or terribly dull knives. I was very glad to get these. I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. It's nice - takes up less room, and the knives actually WORK. All you need are these knives. Steak knives, you can keep in the drawer. Good gift!

Question: When did the reviewer first obtain the carafe?

UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. Love it!!After going through many glass versions of different quality I decided to bite the bullet and spring for this one. Not only is this piece beautiful to look at, it keeps the coffee warmer much longer with it's double walls and you can stir with anything, not just a wooden or platic spoon like a glass caraf. Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time. This is one of the very few things I keep out on my counter. If you have stainless appliances you'll really like the pick up of tones. We've had it for at least six months now and it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.

Question: Why did the reviewer purchase this set of measuring cups?

If you like a good solid measuring cup then look no further! I was looking for a set of measuring cups to use as a scoop for my dog, cat and bird foods. These are stainless steel and strong. I've used plastic ones and the handles generally snap. The handles on these are nice in that they feature non-slip handles. When scooping the pet food you don't lose your grip and spill kibble or seed all over the place. They do come with a plastic ring that you can use to keep the cups together and then when you need one you can easily slip it off. I don't really need this feature, but it is a nice way to keep them together.

Question: What's a downside of the product?

Was given the Cork Remover as a gift. What a terrific gift it is. Was very worried when the air ran out on the original but was thrilled to see you could get replacements. Installation couldn't have been easier! One does have to get used to it. The cork pop can be a surprise, and one must exert some force to remove the cork afterward. But how cool it is! So EASY and quick. A twist of the wrist removes the wrap at top of bottle. Push the needle down through the cork. Press the canister with your thumb, and POP! Cork out.Great product!

Question: The customer bought the factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional mixer for what occasion?

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!

UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. Love it!!After going through many glass versions of different quality I decided to bite the bullet and spring for this one. Not only is this piece beautiful to look at, it keeps the coffee warmer much longer with it's double walls and you can stir with anything, not just a wooden or platic spoon like a glass caraf.

Question: Is the product machine washable?

I have a young toddler who just started taking "big boy baths" in the tub, and this is perfect for him. (If there was a product that would make him sit down when he bathes, that'd be even more impressive :-) I was looking for something that didn't look like it was a medical product. The blue one provides a little style, and goes well with my bathroom decor.My husband travels periodically to places that manufacture rubber products, and the odor of the new product is par for the course. There's nothing the manufacturer would be able to do to remove the odor, except to use it a little like I did anyway. The smell fades. After you are done using the tub, turn on the shower as hot as possible and rinse the mat. You should be doing this anyway to keep residue from building up, but it'll make the odor go away faster. Also, it indicates on the product packaging that the item is machine-washable, so if it's important to you to get rid of any noticeable odor before you use it, throw it in the washing machine.I recommend this product.

Question: What can be cooked in the pan?

I was genuinely shocked at the quality of this pan compared to the price I paid. Completely worth it. It's a 5 ply, and the bottom is HEAVY. The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy. I can cook anything in it, it's very wide and shallow enough to pan sear steaks or saute asparagus or cook a whole breakfast like in the picture. It holds and distributes heat well and can easily burn, but cleans up just fine with some steel wool or baking soda. This is my go to pan for meats. Solid construction.

Question: What does the pan do with each cooking?

I own this pan in the 8" and just love it. I was looking for a good quality egg pan and this is it! I use it everyday. All the teflon on my other pans eventually peeled up and I was afraid we were eating the product! I tried other types of pan, but my eggs always stuck. I went down to the outlet and found this pan. Yes, it was pricey but if I never have to buy another egg pan...I'm happy.The very first time I used it for my eggs, they did seem to stick a bit and I started to get discouraged...don't. The pan will season itself with each cooking. By just the third time of egg cooking... no sticking what so ever! The pan has a nice beefy weight feel to it without being heavy and looks beautiful. I could not be without this pan anymore. Le Creuset continues to make high quality products and you will not be disappointed with their non stick pans.Update: I did purchase the 12" too. Needed more room for cooking eggs for more than one person. Just as perfect as the 8" no sticking what so ever even with the first use on this pan. Definitely my favorite pans. You will not be disappointed if your looking for a superior non stick.

Question: does the Timolino hold in coffee well?

This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. Though coffee will stay hot in it for hours, acting as a small carafe, you cannot succesfully mobilize it - for the lid drips out coffee. The lid is not deep,even slanted - so coffee easily spews out of it. If they changed the lid, to put a closure which at least snaps into place, it would be useful as a mobile coffee tumbler. The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. Ironically, if it tumbles, coffee spills out and ruins anything nearby. The price is too high for what it really does, since you have to leave it in the office or at home.

Question: What is the author's complaint about their favorite Thai restaurant?

So, my favorite Thai restaurant stopped making the dessert I liked, so I decided to try and emulate them with this grill. I won't blame the grill for my crappy batter, but I will say that this didn't sit straight on top of my gas stove (standard size), it kept wobbling. Also, I'm generally a fan of cast iron, but even when oiled, the batter stuck to the divots which were really annoying to clean. Bottom line, I have only used it once, and I can't bring myself to try again.

Question: What is the highest number of stars they normally give to a product?

I almost never give more than four stars to a functional product such as cookware. Why? If something does a task that it was designed to do, that doesn't automatically qualify it for rave reviews. It means it is good and effective. But I must tell you, I quite fell in love with this Circulon Symmetry Ultimate Stir Fry pan over the holidays. As the name would imply, this is a pan that might be used in place of a regular fry pan but its design lends itself to wok style cooking. It has a real versatility and depth to make it an essential piece in our household.Cons: The only negative thing that might affect someone buying the pan is that it is quite heavy. I think this is actually a plus, but just a shout-out to those for whom this may be an issue.Pros: Size and shape give you the classic twelve inch width, but the stir fry depth make it virtually impossible to slosh contents over the side. Sturdy and durable, hence the aforementioned weight. Looks great. And this one (surprisingly) is genuinely made to be dishwasher safe. That's a big bonus on professional style cookware.We have done some stir fry in this pan, but I suspect we'll be using it for much more varied cooking. I don't really gush over pots and pans, but this one is a winner. KGHarris, 11/12.

Question: Who makes this coffee maker?

Mr. Coffee has outdone themselves with this coffee maker. It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. Anyway, I've given this maker a good run creating all sorts of coffees. I've tried different grinds and types of beans, all with excellent results. The unit itself is primarily plastic but everything fits nicely. I have only one concern with the obvious connection made between the main unit and the milk frother. It is a bit tough pushing it in and later removing it. Only time will tell how well it really is. However the coffees you create using this maker is as good, if not better than what you can get out. Take your time to learn it, care for it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I had originally put this on my Amazon Wishlist and was surprised when I received it as a Christmas present. I had it up and running the day after Christmas and have been happy ever since. One last hint.... Remember to use cold milk to get the best froth !!

Question: How long does the reviewer allow their coffee to brew?

I love cold-filtered coffee. But I don't like purchasing a $3 cup every morning. This Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot generates a lovely cup of cold coffee. Yes, it takes A LOT of coffee (I use 22 tablespoons for each batch I make) but coffee that emerges tastes rich and strong, just how I prefer it. I let the coffee brew 24 hours on the countertop and the results are consistent. Clean up is easy too; I just use a strainer and pour the granules into the trash. I use this device every day; yes, it's that good.

Question: How should these washclothes be washed the first time

Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. Hand washed as they bleed first time it says, but seemed ok to me....will always hand wash, to not subject them to washing machine water turbulence, although should hold up in it. Would re-order if ever needed to, but these are PLENTY and just right for thickness---NOT TOO thick. NOT irregulars....retain shape. No signs after first wash of falling apart. If washcloths ever go bad, will do review update & re-rate stars. I recommend as better than the average washcloth, as very usable for different things and at various locations. Shower-1, Wash basin for face-1, Dry basin & counter-1, Kitchen sink for dishes-1, Dry sink & counter-1 General cleaning of areas-1. Nice for gift. My colors; 3 pink, 3 green, 4 blue, 1 tan (received 11, not 10). No shrinkage. Note; thick/plush ones quite expensive, hard to hold & use, hold too much water/suds, although look great just to show them off, and fluff gives poor scrubbing. Buy, as good price. YES, ribbon nice touch. Exactly right for me.

Question: The reviewer looked at the following two products?

I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious. Alas, I have not yet hit the lottery. While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. It took so much time to perfectly arrange the shirts on the board and spray down any deep creases with a spritzing bottle (not to even mention the fact that I would burn my knuckles putting my hand in there to re-arrange the shirt), it ended up taking only slightly less time to iron the same number of dress shirts as if I were using a regular iron. It was pretty cool though, that the ironing part was a simple push of the press, a count to 3, and voila! Ironed clothes! This thing is also a dream for ironing linen napkins, tablecloths, and flat sheets.If you're a perfectionist about your dress shirts, but don't have the time, money or desire to take things to the dry cleaners, this might be the product for you. But if you need to press large amounts of items, if you need to iron a variety of different types of garments (i.e. women's clothing or items with intricate designs), then you might be better off getting a steam generator.If you found this review helpful, please let me know!

Question: What's wrong with the drip tray?

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

It has a drip tray, but <hl> the unit is not angled properly <hl> for the grease to drain. I use 96% fat free ground beef, which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. I'd taken to propping it up, which helped but didn't solve the problem. Last night, I propped it on two inverted bowls--so much of an angle that the grease was running down over the controls in the front, and it -still- ran out the back of the unit. It isn't that I've overloaded the grill--we're only talking 4 hamburgers. But that's done it for me. I'm going to take a good look at the George Foreman GRP90WGR. It also has removable plates, and maybe it's better designed.If you're looking for a griddle or a panini press, the cuisinart could be great. But if you make hamburgers as often as I do, you might want to look somewhere else.


Question: What kind of foods is this item ideal for?

This is a great product. I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice. It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day. It's perfect for anything that isn't "juicy", in other words veggies and that kind of thing. The compartments are vented, so if you put anything at all drippy in them, it goes thru onto the ice. (I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) It isn't a huge deal because there are three different ice compartments, each with two vented trays above them, if that makes sense. I just made sure that the two upper portions that drained into that ice compartment both contained the shrimp, so there wouldn't be any flavor contamination. (I hope that made sense!) Anyway - I highly recommend this product and I am definitely going to purchase more Prodyne acrylic on-ice serving pieces. I purchased a salad bowl that had an ice compartment from a local store and the quality was no where near what I received from Prodyne.

Question: How do they describe the room after using DampRid

We have a small room converted to an office, on the second story of our house. The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there.Based on a recommendation from a Home Depot associate, decided to give DampRid a try -- and have been very happy ever since. We put the container in the room, and about every few weeks or so we dump out more than a cup full of water down the drain. These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now.Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.

Question: What makes parchment paper different than Reynolds?

As most bakers know, parchment paper makes clean up after baking a whole lot easier. It also helps with the "black bottom" syndrome I used to see in my biscuits and cookies. When it comes time to purchase parchment paper, I'll be back for this one again. The paper is a little thinner than the box of Reynold's that I bought, but it still works as well and saves a LOT of money to boot! Some other reviewers have mentioned that it is only 165 feet instead of 205. This is correct, yet incorrect. The roll contains 165 lineal feet and 205 square feet. The difference is that the paper is a little wider than 12". Please don't let the numbers confuse you. This box is exactly as claimed.

Question: What is the person's last colander shaped like?

I really like this version of collapsable colander. I had one that was collapsable and shaped kind of like a tennis racket and I loved it but it was really hard to hold let alone dump something in it from a heavy water filled pan. I didn't have enough arms!! So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily. Its easy to clean. Its a little tough at first to squish it down but it gets much easier after you do it once or twice. Brilliant invention.

Question: What did I buy?

I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. It has filled the bill precisely. It's small, compact, easy to pull around and has plenty of suction. We also like the retractable cord feature. Now we don't have to drag that big, bulky shop vac around and knock paint chips off the door frames when getting it out the garage. The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable. I didn't need to take out a loan to pay for it either and I wasn't paying for features I'd never use such as paint spraying, trying to suck up bowling balls through a 1 1/2" hose or mixing smoothies on the veranda. This is a great little vacuum for the price.

Question: What was missing on the shower curtain?

pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub; the print is wearing off. I still like the shower curtain and will continue to use it.Update: Its been almost 7 months now and I threw this away.... its not the fault of the shower curtain, its my own. I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.

Question: What did the user use to make the slits bigger?

Absolutely love how this looks in my bathroom. Its not as long as other curtains I've had, so some may want to lower the curtain rod. I personally like that its not so close to the floor. Only semi-negative things I have to say is that some of the slits for the rings weren't all the way cut through so I had to use scissors to open them. If you use a vinyl curtain behind it, it is not see-through but without it you can see right into the shower. I bought a cheap frosted one and VIOLA! problem solved :)

Answer: scissors

Question: How did the customer find the product?

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

Question: What does this person do every month to their 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.

Question: How long does the customer leave the lids in the microwave for?

I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

Question: What does the scale do to the plate used to weight food on the scale?

After looking over all of the available food scales on Amazon, I decided that the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale seemed like the best choice. I have to say that it is easy to use, looks nice, and has great features.The scale can be used to measure every food you want so there will not be any guessing of the nutritional content when using the scale.One of the great features is that you can put something, like a plate, on the scale and then have that weight subtracted so you can measure only the weight of what is on the plate.The scale isn't too big and looks very nice. Besides food, the scale can also be used to measure the weight of other things, such as small packages.

Question: How many stars does this reviewer want to leave?

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 does it fit nicely?

It's a very nice holder - not too big and not too small. It fits any lipstick, lip gloss, chapstick, etc nicely. I love that I'm able to see what I have and not have to dig through a makeup bag anymore. I would highly recommend.

Question: What does this help the author bake in a consistent size?

Finally have the perfect scoop for making cookies just the size I want them. Gave one of these to a daughter a couple of years ago and have wanted one for myself ever since. Why did I wait so long? The scoop is easy to handle, easy to use, easy to clean and does just what it should - scoop & release cookie dough or (probably) meat balls, etc. Haven't tried anything but dough so far. If you want your cookies a nice, uniform size, this is for you! Oh, and you can make nice, small ice cream scoops also. Kind of cute!
