Question: What do you need to be careful buying?

Answer: off brands

I tried these years ago and they work just great. <hl> You do have to be a little cautious when buying some of the off brands , but I have had no problem with these. <hl> There have been times, because of the frame and the size of the picture that I have had to modify the hook to bring the picture a little closer to the wall, but that's the worst I can say and even then, I continue to buy the product because it's so easy to use and so successful at holding the pictures in place without destroy the wall or having pictures fall.

Question: When did they buy this?

I bought one of these in early October 2013 to make treats for my dogs - no more "made in China" for me. I went with the lower priced dehydrator thinking I wouldn't really be making a lot of jerky etc. but boy, was I wrong. I've made several batches of sweet potatoes, one batch of chicken jerky, lots and lots of beef jerky, several batches of banana chips (sliced bananas) and some apples. AND, for myself, pineapple slices.I don't do a thing to the meat, bananas, or pineapple but I did learn I much prefer to bake the potatoes first. The meat is put in a 250 oven for 1 hour as given in the instructions to be sure you don't have any problems with anything "bad".For the meat I buy thin slices at the store (generally sold for Italian or German dishes) and then cut them crossways into strips about 1 inch wide. (A friend said they bought fajita sliced meat - both beef and chicken rather than slicing it themselves and it worked very well.) I can fit about 2 # beef on the 5 trays that came with the dehydrator. Because I've dealt with beef from two different stores and one is sliced thinner the drying time takes 10 - 13 hours plus the hour in the oven. Be SURE to buy the leanest beef. I think I eat about as much of this as I give to the dogs. I store it in a container in the refrigerator. Because it's easier to break off pieces of the jerky if it's slightly "crispy" I dry mine a little more than most people might. Also easier for our Chihuahua to chew up if it isn't too chewy.The bananas are simply sliced about 1/4 inch thick, placed on the drying racks and dried. Again, I want them on the crisp side so they're easy to carry in my pocket for a training treat. Our Australian Terrier LOVES them. Apples were cored then sliced (I left the peel on) about 1/4 inch thick - no treatment. I do want to try doing the apples "french fry" style using my mandolin next time. I didn't get the apples "crisp" (over dry) because I wanted them a little chewy. Yes, the bananas and apples brown a little bit, but certainly not much and I definitely prefer that to anything treated. Slightly under ripe bananas work best. I store them in a Rubbermaid container on the counter.Sweet potatoes are very easy - I tried them unbaked but they were really hard and unappealing so I baked the next batch, cooled them in the fridge overnight and then peeled them (the peel slips right off), sliced them about 1/4 inch thick and dried them about 10 - 12 hours until they were dry but still "pliable" and not too crispy. Our terrier LOVES them and enjoys having something a little chewy. The red or bright "orange" look best dried. I did some of the yellow variety and while the dog didn't seem to care, I thought they looked blah and uninviting so I will stick to the brighter colored varieties. I store them in a Rubbermaid container on the counter.The pineapple I did for ME - I love dried pineapple but all I've found for years that has been for sale has been sweetened. I took out the core and sliced it about 1/4 inch thick. It took about 13 hours to dry and still be pliable. It did get a little sticky (maybe I needed to dry it just a tad more) but I keep it in the refrigerator and there is no problem. It's slightly chewy, tart / sweet and absolutely delicious. Next time I'm going to slice it a little bit thicker even if it takes a little longer to dry as it did shrink up quite a bit.I got a jerky gun but haven't used it because I wanted to use the sliced beef so I loaned the gun to a friend who has used it with hamburger and ground chicken. I've seen pieces of her jerky and they are very evenly made. They didn't use any seasoning at all with their meat.All in all I'm extremely pleased with this product. I think I've given it a good workout over the past few months and haven't had any problems. It's easy to clean - a big plus with me. It's also not overly bulky so it can sit nicely on the counter top when in use. I don't think it's loud when operating but you can hear the motor humming away.

(A friend said they bought fajita sliced meat - both beef and chicken rather than slicing it themselves and it worked very well.) <hl> I can fit about 2 # beef on the 5 trays that came with the dehydrator. <hl> Because I've dealt with beef from two different stores and one is sliced thinner the drying time takes 10 - 13 hours plus the hour in the oven. Be SURE to buy the leanest beef. I think I eat about as much of this as I give to the dogs. I store it in a container in the refrigerator. Because it's easier to break off pieces of the jerky if it's slightly "crispy" I dry mine a little more than most people might. Also easier for our Chihuahua to chew up if it isn't too chewy. The bananas are simply sliced about 1/4 inch thick, placed on the drying racks and dried. Again, I want them on the crisp side so they're easy to carry in my pocket for a training treat. Our Australian Terrier LOVES them. Apples were cored then sliced (I left the peel on) about 1/4 inch thick - no treatment. I do want to try doing the apples "french fry" style using my mandolin next time. I didn't get the apples "crisp" (over dry) because I wanted them a little chewy. Yes, the bananas and apples brown a little bit, but certainly not much and I definitely prefer that to anything treated. Slightly under ripe bananas work best. I store them in a Rubbermaid container on the counter. Sweet potatoes are very easy - I tried them unbaked but they were really hard and unappealing so I baked the next batch, cooled them in the fridge overnight and then peeled them (the peel slips right off), sliced them about 1/4 inch thick and dried them about 10 - 12 hours until they were dry but still "pliable" and not too crispy. Our terrier LOVES them and enjoys having something a little chewy. The red or bright "orange" look best dried. I did some of the yellow variety and while the dog didn't seem to care, I thought they looked blah and uninviting so I will stick to the brighter colored varieties. I store them in a Rubbermaid container on the counter. The pineapple I did for ME - I love dried pineapple but all I've found for years that has been for sale has been sweetened. I took out the core and sliced it about 1/4 inch thick. It took about 13 hours to dry and still be pliable. It did get a little sticky (maybe I needed to dry it just a tad more) but I keep it in the refrigerator and there is no problem. It's slightly chewy, tart / sweet and absolutely delicious. Next time I'm going to slice it a little bit thicker even if it takes a little longer to dry as it did shrink up quite a bit. I got a jerky gun but haven't used it because I wanted to use the sliced beef so I loaned the gun to a friend who has used it with hamburger and ground chicken. I've seen pieces of her jerky and they are very evenly made. They didn't use any seasoning at all with their meat. All in all I'm extremely pleased with this product. I think I've given it a good workout over the past few months and haven't had any problems. It's easy to clean - a big plus with me. It's also not overly bulky so it can sit nicely on the counter top when in use. I don't think it's loud when operating but you can hear the motor humming away.

I bought one of these in early October 2013 to make treats for my dogs - no more "made in China" for me. I went with the lower priced dehydrator thinking I wouldn't really be making a lot of jerky etc. but boy, was I wrong. I've made several batches of sweet potatoes, one batch of chicken jerky, lots and lots of beef jerky, several batches of banana chips (sliced bananas) and some apples. AND, for myself, pineapple slices.I don't do a thing to the meat, bananas, or pineapple but I did learn I much prefer to bake the potatoes first.

Question: What type of cat do they own?

First off, I have a Silver Persian Cat. I used the Dyson mini turbine tool on my furniture and thought it did pretty good, except I had to keep stopping to remove wound up fur. I ordered this tool to alleviate that problem, and couldn't believe how much fur it got out of the furniture even after using the mini turbine! Just 2 chairs and a stool and I got a softball size ball of fur in the bin! It is a bit pricy, but it works beautifully and doesn't tangle! Well worth it to have a fur-free house. I must admit, the thought crossed my mind to use it on the cat directly but that would be mean. ;)

Question: What brand is it?

The quart makes it easy to measure. I know there are the 1 cups, which I had before, but this is much better. You can do more than 1 cup at a time and don't have to worry about spilling over. I remember my mother having one of these when I was young and she used it all the time, now I do too. I guess the best things will be used from generation to generation. The only bad thing I can say about pyrex...after about 5 years the writing on the sides may begin to wear off, which is what happened to my last measuring cup, for the price I can't really complain.

Question: What item did the reviewer always desired?

I've always wanted a home distillation unit. What I've usually found are pieced together units that belong in a garage. This unit is very well constructed, streamline designed distiller that will seamlessly fit in any over-gadgeted kitchen (like mine).Living in AZ, the water here is full of dissolved minerals. My first use of this unit was to START OFF with carbon filtered water. As described how this unit functions, about 5 hours later the unit completed its gallon cycle and turned itself off. After leaving sit for at least 1/2 hour (per safety instructions), allowing it to cool, what I discovered in the stainless steal pot was a film/sludge of concentrated mineral deposits that required a run through with the included anhydrous citric acid crystals to fully clean the gunk off of the stainless steal. Having already purchased 4 two liter glass pitchers, I emptied the distilled water into the pitchers and let it cool. AMAZING TASTING WATER!.This is easy to use, looks great, is well constructed and fits perfectly along side Vitamix's, Kitchen Aids, Cuisine Arts and other top notch appliances. I'm hooked! They recommend letting it run overnight. I do too. The fan makes a little noise, but is bare able.

Contrary to what you may read in the reviews - this product CAN HANDLE protein powder and water, provided you are not trying to make it so thick the spoon stands up. My experience with this is you can take 14-16 oz water, start the mixer, then add your 1 or 2 scoops and it blends fine. Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well. I am ordering a 2nd one from Amazon, as I am very happy with the one I purchased at another site.

Question: What type of mess did the cleaner pick up in the bedroom?

This cleaner is very light weight. I suppose that might be an advantage if you have to schlep it up and down stairs, but it also tells me that it's mostly made of plastic, and that it's probably not all that durable. I used it on my bedroom carpet, and it cleaned up new messes (cat barf) admirably. It didn't do as well on the old dog pee stains (yes, I need to replace my bedroom carpet), but it improved them.It was easy to assemble and use, which is good, because mine did not come with an instruction manual. I'm still not sure I mixed the cleaning solution correctly.I didn't try the attachments.

Question: What brand of knife is being reviewed?

When I first saw this knife, I was surprised, since I didn't realize Victorinox made kitchen knifes. After trying out this chef's knife, I was impressed.The first thing I noticed when using this knife is how solid it felt in my hand. The knife has a hard plastic handle, which molds naturally to the shape of my hand.The 8-inch steel blade itself is very sharp, as you would expect. The knife cuts equally well on both sensitive surfaces, like a tomato, and hard surfaces, like a cantaloupe.The knife washes easily, and goes in the dishwasher without a problem.I've been very happy with this product.

Question: How did the reviewer describe putting the furniture piece together?

After reading all the mixed reviews, I decided to see for myself. All the parts came intact, only one ding I noticed on a piece but I've seen much worse from other DIY furniture. All in all, this is a great piece. It was quite a pain to put together - my BF had to improvise with some drilling and leveling etc that wasn't part of the instructions, but he got it all together and we love it. One drawer sits a little high and requires some force to get it in, but it's not the end of the world. For the price, it's pretty darn good and looks great in our bedroom supporting our flat screen :)

Question: How long have they had the blender?

We have had this blender for over five years now and it is an absolute workhorse and hands down the best blender for crushing ice. The construction of the blender is quite solid and the motor is powerful enough to handle anything you are looking to blend. The best feature by far: ice crushing. Recommended by Cooks Illustrated for this feature, this blender is incredible at crushing ice to the right consistency for a crushed-ice margarita, which, let's face it, is one of the best reasons to have a blender. Not to mention the fact that it is gorgeous in orange. A best buy for my kitchen for sure.

The best feature by far: ice crushing. <hl> Recommended by Cooks Illustrated for this feature, this blender is incredible at crushing ice to the right consistency for a crushed-ice margarita, which, let's face it, is one of the best reasons to have a blender. <hl> Not to mention the fact that it is gorgeous in orange. A best buy for my kitchen for sure.
