Question: How big is the measuring device that the reviewer has?

I used to have one similar to this one, which always tended to leak, and was made by a different manufacturer. This one seems to have a better sealing mechanism and is really sturdy. It says in the directions to hand wash only, which is not a deal breaker, but it loses a star for that as it would be really nice to put in the dishwasher. The only other reason it lost the one star is you have to be careful rejoining the two pieces as to not ruin the seal. We will see how things hold up with use and normal wear and tear. I have used it several times in the last few weeks and it has held up really well. Perfect for measuring things like corn syrup, honey, cream cheese, etc. I got the two cupper. Not sure I would get the 1 cup as it would probably be redundant.

Question: How long have they owned the product?

I was excited to have one machine to make espresso and coffee in a compact size at a reasonable price. Be warned - you get what you pay for. We have had the machine about three months now and we are starting to have some issues with it. The espresso carafe is cracked and it was never dropped or mishandled. The cost to replace it is outrageous. In general, it takes 20 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee and the temperature is never consistent. The coffee pot spills everywhere when you pour due to the venting on the lid. It is pretty easy to clean. But the whole design is odd/poor overall. I am not very pleased with it as a whole. I will not buy another one of these. I will buck up and buy a more expensive one with better features.Just an update. The coffee maker suddenly stopped working completely. We cleaned it repeatedly on a regular basis and have no idea what the problem is. The espresso make still works. I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. You really do get what you pay for. After we get back from vacation, I will be looking for a higher quality dual machine that will hopefully last more than three months. Buyer beware.

Question: What did this person buy?

For now with the more limited use of this scrubber I'll reserve my 5 star KUDOS after a year from now. Otherwise it's a nicel little scrubber. I still haven't given up the stainless scruffy one we've used for over 14 years but I'm working on it. This one doesn't seem to hold the food gook like the wooly version does. And a shake or two lets out most of the water. I'd like a place to actually hang it up but so far haven't figured that one out. The round tab I assume is for scrubbing at a difficult spot or along the rounded curves of the bottom inside of the bap but so far haven't taken it up on that. I think if that is the prurpose it could stand to have a little bit bitter one or even a triangle with rounded corners in different sizes to fit different sizes of corners. But it does ok with stainless pans too. So far no damage to them or the cast iron pans.

Question: What is wrong with the cord?

Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight. I'm not going to pretend that it makes vacuuming the house any more pleasurable but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed "The Beast" soon after its arrival. It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag, unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. (I do have three Rottweilers, so we don't lack for hair on the floor). As some others have said, the cord is a trifle short but luckily, I have an abundance of outlets and if that's its biggest flaw, I can't complain too much. I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get.

Question: What are most of the reviewer's pans and Dutch Ovens?

I cook almost entirely with cast iron. Most of my pans and dutch ovens are Lodge and I've been very happy with them. The T-fal is cheaper, but not by much. For $26, this pan is surprisingly underwhelming.Like others have mentioned, the finish isn't very smooth, compared to Lodge. This isn't too big a deal because over time it will get there with regular use. But for most people, we like to have the smooth finish from the start and save ourselves the frustration of seasoning over years of cooking.I've often struggled with using 12-inch pans at home. They work okay on a gas range, but for the most part they seem to be far too large for day-to-day cooking. A 10-inch pan is much more practical, especially if you've got things on the other burners.This isn't terrible. It's cast iron, and it does it's work fine. I've decided this will be my camping skillet and leave the Lodge for cooking at home. It does what it's supposed to, but it doesn't have quite the same finesse as the Lodge pans.

Not only are these beautiful, well balanced, substantial without being too heavy, but they work wonderfully on our induction range PHS925STSS Profile 30" Slide-In Induction Range PreciseAir Convection System Warming Zone. I could not be more delighted. My particular set has tight fitting glass lids (this was not an Amazon purchase) which I prefer over the stainless lids.One of the pluses when it comes to using these on an induction stove-top is that they are constructed so that the heat will travel up the sides of the pans also, thus making your induction cooking even more efficient.Beauty, function, lifetime guarantee, and great price(here at Amazon).

Question: Alternatives to this product that the customer is looking into include My Caps and what else?

I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. Our French Press is great but many mornings it's just one of us drinking and only one or two cups per day, so I bought this Kuerig product thinking it would be the answer. It is AN answer but the coffee it brews is not. I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak.If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. I reached up to the seal that would prevent the leakage and moved it down a bit but it still leaks.I could probably live with a little water leakage but not the sadly weak brew that results.I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) but this filter just doesn't do it.Perhaps there's too much filter screen and the water isn't allowed enough time in contact with the ground coffee. I've tried cutting the top bit off a K cup and placing it into the My K-cup, then dropping the provided filter in which seems to help, but not much.There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps.This item isn't worth it.

Question: Where are the pans kept?

Words can't express how much I love this product. Where has it been all my life? You can put 6 pot lids in here. Who doesn't struggle looking for pot lids. Sometimes I'd just use a plate I didn't feel like crawling under counters, looking for lids.They accidentally sent me 2, I kept them both. I keep my pans under the sink in tiny apartment kitchen. Everyone could benefit owning this it will make your kitchen a better place. You do need lids with just the round button top. Buy it you won't be dissatisfied.

Question: How did the writer figure out the weight of a diamond of the dimensions of their stone?

I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond. I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats. Then I used the scale to weigh the stone. It weighed 3.4 carats, meaning that it's cubic zirconia, which has a specific gravity much higher than that of a diamond.Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it.By the way, this scale is quite small and light, can use several different units of measure, and arrived with batteries installed and ready for the calibration to be tested and the scale to be used.

Question: when did mr coffee appear?

Recvd in excellent condition and very attractive. I have always used Mr.Coffee ever since they appeared in the 1970's I believe when Joe Dimaggio was their spokesman.On this particular model I don't like the way you have to open the top and lift out the container that hold the coffee. Prior models this part just swung out. another dialike is the little "red ball" that floated to the mark on the outside to show how many cups you were making. They have done away with this on this model.The most objectionable thing I have against this coffee maker is all the noise it makes after it has quit perking.It heaves and chugs and sputters and spits it sounds like it has emphasema... I dont get this at all, just aggravting to listen to this in the morning

Question: What part of the car had much more room?

I bought a new car and had a dilemma. When I have a passenger in my front seat I would put my purse on the back seat...the new car had much more room back there and I could no longer get my purse back! This hook hanging on the passenger seat was perfect. It's not overly big so it's not really an eyesore which is something I was concerned about (new car, remember?). I rarely use the second hook but I have hung a water bottle on it when I needed the cup holder space. The quality/sturdiness is excellent. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is it would be nice to have a single hook option.

Question: According to the reviewer what would be more convenient if you don't have pets?

I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon. In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking. I was previously using a rag mop which takes a lot of exertion and dreading on my part. This unit seems to pick up a lot of filth that mopping alone doesnt do as even when my floors looked clean the bin was filled with dirty water. If I could change some things I would have them lower the brushes a little, it doesn't always get the grout especiially the first time around, my solution for this is to spray cleaner onto the floor before to loosen up dirt and get everything wet before using the machine. I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. I would also love it if the unit could scrub and vacuum the liquid seperately instead of at the same time. If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then.

Question: And how much is needed for the gumpaste?

I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago. I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste, it works great. For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. It will harden the fondant eventually. For gumpaste, a lot of it is needed, and it's actually added to the recipe. Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag. Otherwise it will harden really quick. This product is a bit pricy but it works. I recommend buying more than one at a time to save on shipping.

Question: What is a benefit of the product?

Answer: vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag

Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight. I'm not going to pretend that it makes vacuuming the house any more pleasurable but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed "The Beast" soon after its arrival. <hl> It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag , unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. <hl> (I do have three Rottweilers, so we don't lack for hair on the floor). As some others have said, the cord is a trifle short but luckily, I have an abundance of outlets and if that's its biggest flaw, I can't complain too much. I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get.

Question: What does the customer plan on using for a long time?

I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. After 1st use my probe stopped working (maybe it was defective). Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). To my surprise, the new probes had stainless steel shielding all the way from where it plugs into the unit to the probe itself. Now this is how it should have been made to begin with. The replacement probes were genuine Polder products. Even with the added expense of the better probes I still plan on keeping this unit for a very long time.

Question: Was the cabinet easy to put together?

This cabinet is very easy to assemble. It says "no tools", but I found it handy to have a rubber mallet for tapping pieces into place. It is a one-person job, no problem. Once assembled, this unit is pretty sturdy and looks to be very durable.I bought several of these to use in my barn, to keep my equipment and supplies out of the dust that inevitably accumulates. I am a bit disappointed that the front doors don't quite meet each other. There is a gap, up to about a quarter of inch. So these cabinets won't keep the contents as dust-free as if I stored them in stacked plastic bins. And they are definitely not rodent-proof! But they are much handier to use than a pile of plastic bins, so I am still happy with this solution.

Question: What part of the house contains carpeting?

I have used this multiple times on my living room rug. It is the only carpeting we have in our house and it sure takes a beating. It is a light beige color and this little cleaner made a HUGE difference in it and didn't alter the original color. The spray puts out a flat, uniform line...and then I let that sit for about 30 seconds and then i used the vacuum to suck up the extra water. There is a brush on bottom but I am not sure what it is supposed to do. If you try to use it to scrub while you are vacuuming then it pops off. I got to where I just used it by hand for those extra tough stains and it really helped. The container for the cleaner/water mixture is pretty small so you wont get a huge space done. but as long as you only use this for the small stuff it is perfect. It is easy to take apart and clean so it is definitely going to be my go-to spot lifter.

Question: Where can you warm them?

This tortilla warmer really works. I find that it keeps the tortillas warm through our dinner. There are never any left to see if this will work an hour! It is perfect for warming them in the microwave and keeping them warm through the meal. I don't have a clue if it works for an hour, like the package stated. I'll never know because it does not take us that long to eat. Great Item!

Question: What is the volume of the Ikea UPHETTA coffee press?

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

Question: What material is the containers made of?

I tried all kinds of non-plastic containers for dressings and all of them either leaked or were huge heavy glass. This finally gets it right for ketchup, peanut butter, cream cheese, dressing, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, or even toddler portions of things like raisins or nuts.They are stainless steel cups with stainless steel lids. The lid has a screw-on mechanism to lock it and a flat silicone ring fused to the inside. The silicone being fused on is nice so it can't get lost or fall off in the dishwasher. They are style neutral for adults or kids with no paint to chip off.They have gone through the dishwasher no problem. It's a great idea, long overdue.Update 5/31/13The silicone gasket has loosened and is warped (probably from me being so lazy and washing it in the dishwasher-even though it says it is dishwasher safe). But it has made is nearly (but not altogether) impossible to close them with a leak proof seal. I continue to use them, since I never trusted the kids to thread the lids on securely anyway, I can deal with it.

Question: What kind of electric kettle did the customer buy?

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. It is a real winner in my book! i like the safety features of this kettle and especially not having a cord dangle as I'm filling my teapot with boiling water,My expensive coffeemaker has a plastic filter basket which I think imparts a flavor to my coffee. Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal. This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

Question: What date was the review updated in 2011?

I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. I was able to assemble this in less then 5 minutes, and only needed one screwdriver for the one screw. The vacuum sucks up hair, dirt, fuzz and bird seed from my parrot with ease, and I love the auto cord feature- that is a blessing! The canister empties easy as well.I have read reviews about this, and there seems to be a flaw with the belt, but I have been using it for 2 weeks now daily, and so far working perfect. As always if my opioion or any issues come up I will update this review, but so far super happy with this vacuum... A good Vacuum is a must, especially with pets and allergies :)* Update Sept 17th, 2011 * Its been a couple months since I received and my vacuum is still running great! I use daily to clean up after my dogs, cats and parrot.. It picks up hair, dirt ( on my tile floors ) and bird seed. No issues with belt, or any issues period! Very Very happy with this vacuum-

Question: How much time can the clock lose over the course of a battery set?

The good:1) 10 keys to enter time. It's quick and easy to set any time up to 99 minutes.2) Beeper keeps beeping until you turn it off - doesn't stop after a minute3) Loud enough beeper. Has a flashing LED too.4) Magnet strong enough (see below).The bad:1) on my example, when the beeper is running it seems to lose time on the clock. Not a lot, but over the course of a set of batteries it can be 40 minutes or so.2) It is completely non-obvious how to set the clock. If you don't set it, it reverts to a bogus time when it sits for more than a few minutes. It doesn't "lock" into timer mode. Hint: Press and hold "STOP" Then use the "START" button to cycle the flashing hours, "STOP" then minutes.3) If you set the time, but don't press start (for example, waiting for something to come to a boil) and it takes more than a couple minutes, the set time is cleared, and it goes back to clock mode so you have to enter your time again.4) The magnet is -barely- strong enough, and leaves scratches on my stainless hood.I've tried a bunch of different digital kitchen timers, and this one has stuck around longer than most. It's not clear why it is SO HARD to make a timer that is easy to use and sturdy, but it apparently is. It's not great, but it's not as bad as some.

Question: What is better about this set?

These are short and hard to knock over. My parents had knocked over and cracked their taller acrylic set. The dispensing end is on the top so no annoying crumbs on table or cabinet. My parents like the little screw on caps which I might have thrown away. Also good If you live in a humid climate where salt cakes. Great genuine ceramic grinder, easy to turn. Since my parents are older I was worried about ease of use. These are very easy to use and adjust grind coarseness. I have been looking for these after buying a similar set 10 years ago. They are thick glass so very tough and seemingly impossible to break.

Answer: These are short and hard to knock over

<hl> These are short and hard to knock over . <hl> My parents had knocked over and cracked their taller acrylic set. The dispensing end is on the top so no annoying crumbs on table or cabinet. My parents like the little screw on caps which I might have thrown away. Also good If you live in a humid climate where salt cakes. Great genuine ceramic grinder, easy to turn. Since my parents are older I was worried about ease of use. These are very easy to use and adjust grind coarseness. I have been looking for these after buying a similar set 10 years ago. They are thick glass so very tough and seemingly impossible to break.

Question: How long has this product been available for the public to purchase?

For years I have seen this product in stores. After buying one and using it over & over again, I am a believer. Great for candies, chocolates, fondant, dough, bread, you name it. I never had a great place to roll out pie dough...now I do. Bake anything on it and it wipes clean. Fondant peels right off, royal icing cake decorations too. Nothing sticks on it, I love it. I don't have to buy parchment paper anymore..so it saves money in the long run. I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. Saves time too, washing-pans only need a rinse instead of a soak & scrub.

Question: What is this product?

To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. If you do overflow do not try to clean it right away - you'll make a battery mess. Wait for it to harden - the maker will be hot so this will not take long. The mess will then flake right off.3. Do not expect the timer to tick off evenly - it will tick off the first couple lights slowly and then the rest comparatively quickly. You have to keep an eye on it.Having said all of that, I love this waffle maker. I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. Clean-up and storage is very easy if you wait to clean it up until after it cools and any spilt batter has gotten crusty. Now if I could only find the perfect batter.....

Question: When did the reviewer receive this product?

My wife gave me one of these for Christmas two years ago. I eagerly tried to make a batch of vanilla ice cream. After an hour of noisy churning, the base was still liquid and the bowl was only slightly chilled. An hour more of churning did not improve things. The thing went down in the basement. I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet. Same result. The base was as liquid after an hour of churning as it was at the start. I give up. I wish I had back the hours I wasted on this piece of expensive junk.

Question: What kind of steel are the Gourmet knives made of?

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: How many products did this person purchase?

I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet.I use them for baking chips (kale, yams, potato, etc), and these allow the air to circulate, which has resulted in nice, crispy chips EVERY TIME (without having to turn over half way through)!Easy to clean and durable. Really wish I got these sooner!

Question: What is it a little small for?

I've had my original Panasonic Flash Xpress since 2003. I've been wanting to replace it because it was looking pretty bad due to the heavy use - but it still works great. I was so happy to find out they were finally selling this oven again! The price was kind of steep, so I waited. Finally they dropped it to $99 and I had a $10 coupon. I snapped it up. I can't say enough good things about it. It is great for our needs. I can see that it might be a little small for folks wanting to cook larger items - but it works great for our purposes. Makes wonderful baked potatoes, toast, bagels, waffles, fries, chicken nuggets, hash browns, great for roasting hot dogs or sausages, chicken breast, steak - really anything you want to try. It gets hot fast. No preheating. You will have to experiment with the temperature and time settings because it is not the same as a conventional oven or even a regular toaster oven. One note - the rack does not look like the one in the picture. It does not have the squiggly bars or the cross pieces, but only straight bars and no cross-pieces, just like the old one.

Question: The customer does not recommend this frother for people with what type of condition?

I am a big fan of cappuccino, and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop. I have a small espresso machine at home, but until now I was not able to use it to make any of the more involved coffee concoctions. This little Eparé milk frother has enabled me to froth-up my own milk.The frother is very elegant, easy to use and operate, and it sits very comfortably in your hand. I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk. The regular milk was mostly a success, albeit the froth was not as "stable" and rich as i would have liked. The rice milk was an almost complete failure. Despite my best efforts I was only able to produce a very small amount of froth. Others might have a better success with this device than I do, but right now I would not recommend it to the lactose-intolerant types.The frother was extremely easy to clean. You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

Question: What color did they end up going with to match their room?

I like how solid this seems along with the ease of puttng it together. However, before I purchased I magnified the picture to be sure that the cherry was a good match for my room. Upon actually receiving it, however,the product appeared darker. I have realized how many products are photographed with an extra amount of surrounding light to boost the visibility of detail; however, in doing so, some products like these I've ordered are inaccurately represesented in pictures. So live and learn. The other aspect of the item I didn't care for was the width- it seems just a bit too wide for the proportions of depth.

Question: What does it do well?

I was worried when it arrived. I had to leave and couldn't inspect it immediately. There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue. Everything was okay, except for the heating/warming bulb which was broken off in the base. I haven't been able to find a replacement for it yet.The machine itself was simple to assemble, extra switches were included. It looks very nice, like some of the more expensive commercially available poppers.As far as operation, I wish the pot itself was deeper, as several un-popped kernels get knocked out as the popping starts. It's also a tight fit to load the pot, if you're not careful you'll dump everything. Besides that, it heats up and gets popping very fast, with a lot of steam and fresh popcorn-y goodness filling the area.I cannot wait until this winter to curl up on a cold night with hot popcorn and a good movie. This seems to be money well spent, if any issues arise, I'll "pop" back in later with an update.

Question: What was used to secure the back support brack?

These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.

Question: This products works, what?

We had previously used a "cold air" humidifier but it made the room too cold so I tried this one. It works perfectly. My only complaint is that you have to constantly refill it. We can barely make it through the night on one tankful. Otherwise, it works great and I recommend it.

Question: What does the product look like in the picture?

So, I just paid almost 25 dollars for some rough chunks of glass. They look nothing like what is pictured, nothing. One is significantly smaller than the other two, with a rough jagged spot. The product pictured looks like smooth stones. The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs. And the third looks like a cast off from a glass blowing place. Who knows. Terrible. I wouldn't normally leave such a bad review, but these were ridiculous.

Question: How does the writer feel about the product?

I wanted to purchase a food saver to use when I made smoothies. I bought small mason jars and the attachment to place over the lids to seal them. You do not have to use a hose with the hand held vacuum sealer. It works very well, costs much less than the non-hand held products, takes up less storage space and works well with the vacuum sealing bags that zip lock. I am going to purchase larger mason jars and the larger cap attachment and start to vacuum pack my salad. I am very happy with this product and can't wait to try it on other food items. I do not know how long the charge lasts but so far I have sealed at least 15 jars and it doesn't appear to need charging yet.
