Question: What are these sheets made of?

Answer: microfiber

I'm so glad i ignored the negative reviews. <hl> It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. <hl> Not that it is actually egyptian cotton. Maybe that is where the negative reviews are coming from, people expecting actual egyptian cotton. I knew what to expect and it exceeded my expectations. The fabric is extremely soft and smooth. We have a pillow top mattress so our fitted sheets are always popping off. The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. I will be ordering another set in a different color and would definitly recommend these sheets. I still can't believe how inexpensive they were for such a nice set of sheets.

Question: Why would a beer lover like to drink from this glass?

I don't drink ale or beer very often (worse than ice cream for my weight) but when I do want to indulge as a treat or give a gift to a beer-lover, this is on the top of the list for a drinking glass. I always find ale and stout tastes better from a vessel shaped as this (and the etched star on the bottom allows bubbles to form on the micro-surfaces of the etching, and adds to the aroma and sensation.) It's also nice for Stella Artois (a lager), local crafted ales and Pils (Pilsner) if you can find a good one.

Question: Where is this made

We recently broke our 8 inch glass Pyrex and decided maybe we'd try metal instead. We were at a local store and my wife grabbed an 8 inch pan off the shelf. I noticed it was made in China and put it back on the shelf. I then saw Chicago Metallic and grabbed one, only to find out it was also made in China. I went around to the other side of the isle and noticed USA Pans. I knew that they're the best and made in the U.S. because I have the Pullman Loaf pan. You could drive over this pan with your car and it probably wouldn't do much damage.....really. You get what you pay for. This pan works well. Just know that you still need to spray this pan or use oil, butter etc. It does an amazing job with the Cooks Illustrated Corn Bread recipe (the one with actual corn kernels in it).

Question: How bright are the colors?

I purchased this as a set to use when guests visit during the winter months (contrary to belief, Central Florida dips into sub freezing a few times during the winter.)Like others have said, the colors are vivid. Surprisingly so. And the comforter is ...comfortable and is a good fit on my bed. The entire ensemble will transform any bed into an inviting refuge for guests and the colors match the rest of my home's decor.Do be aware that this is 100% poly, which should not come as a shock given the price. I mention this because this set is comfortable for occasional use like for guests, but not bedding that I would want to sleep on for prolonged periods. I seem to have a built-in aversion to poly. On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for.Another plus for me is this set can be refolded and stored in a compact manner, so between guest visits it's out of sight and takes up little space.For the price you cannot go wrong. Even if you use these yourself as an everyday comforter set you should be pleased by the quality and beauty of this ensemble.

Question: What shape is the footprint

Unfortunately, it all too often does not work properly. The round footprint is interesting, not over sized and the corded separate base is a definite advantage. It does boil water quickly when it actually connects.Shortly after I received the hot pot, the spring hinge of the lid stopped springing.

Question: What happens when you cut the pizza

When you cut the pizza, grease from the cheese soaks into the stone. I had some burnt on cheese and sauce so I followed someones advice on this site and used bon ami. The stone looked perfectly clean but had some darker spots in the glaze that I assumed was just from being used at high heat. The next time I used it orange grease seeped out of those darker spots, yum bon ami flavored grease. I ended up buffing as much as possible off the hot stone and then putting a thick layer of cornmeal on the stone since my family was eagerly awaiting their dinner, but I wasn't happy. Basically this glaze does absorb so don't clean it with anything you wouldn't want to later eat.

Question: What kind of footprint does blendtec have?

There's a lot of of online comparisons between these two blenders. Both are great. But here are my comments to add more confusion to the mix. Blendtec Pros- Smaller footprint, less counter space, programmed settings, so you don't have to stand there and crank up the speed, you can do other things, if not done hit it again, Doesn't walk around on the counter much ( The VM with the programmed settings which I tried, was horrible about this) Cons- The small jar is definitely not 64oz of usable liquid, you occasionally do need a tamper or something to get stuff dislodged( although it doesn't have one), the lid is harder to clean, and seems to make a bigger mess taking it off the containerVitamix 5000( similiar to the 5200) Pros- Has the tamper for when food gets stuck, large jar, easy to use lid. Cons- Base is very big. Have to use the knobs to change speeds manually. As noted I tried the model with preprogrammed settings for a week (from Sonoma Williams), but it walked all over the counter.Overall these are both good. I have a few things that will gum up the Vitamix, and turns out they also gum up the Blendtec. Both have a 7 year Warranty now. Costco online is running a special this week for the Blendtec at $369 with both jars, and a 8 year warranty. I mainly use my Blentec now but haven't sold the Vitamix yet. Just in case..

Answer: knobs

There's a lot of of online comparisons between these two blenders. Both are great. But here are my comments to add more confusion to the mix. Blendtec Pros- Smaller footprint, less counter space, programmed settings, so you don't have to stand there and crank up the speed, you can do other things, if not done hit it again, Doesn't walk around on the counter much ( The VM with the programmed settings which I tried, was horrible about this) Cons- The small jar is definitely not 64oz of usable liquid, you occasionally do need a tamper or something to get stuff dislodged( although it doesn't have one), the lid is harder to clean, and seems to make a bigger mess taking it off the containerVitamix 5000( similiar to the 5200) Pros- Has the tamper for when food gets stuck, large jar, easy to use lid. Cons- Base is very big. <hl> Have to use the knobs to change speeds manually. <hl> As noted I tried the model with preprogrammed settings for a week (from Sonoma Williams), but it walked all over the counter. Overall these are both good. I have a few things that will gum up the Vitamix, and turns out they also gum up the Blendtec. Both have a 7 year Warranty now. Costco online is running a special this week for the Blendtec at $369 with both jars, and a 8 year warranty. I mainly use my Blentec now but haven't sold the Vitamix yet. Just in case..

Question: What three things does the reviewer say right away?

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.
