Question: How many stars did the reviewer give SpotBot?

Answer: 4

Why only 4 stars?

New off-white carpeting and a sick cat do not make good combos. Tired of hand scrubbing the carpet w/mixed results we opted to try the SpotBot. We are *thrilled* with it. Solidly made product. Easy to set-up. Simple to use. Fortunately have not had to use the deep stain setting - but the 3 minute cycle setting cleaned up all the messes in said time. The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it. There is also the more manual process w/a hose for stains that don't fit into the circumference of the auto-brushes. That worked well too. <hl> Why only 4 stars? <hl> I don't have longevity w/the product - and hopefully it won't be used daily, but so far so good.

Question: how does the writer describe the weight of the product?

This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. First of all is the new canister. Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. This feature allows you to empty it easier and with less mess. The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. While the weight is a touch heavy, the suction power is good and makes up for it. Overall, I am very pleased with this vacuum.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

I wish i had had a mother to tell me about these pans. I would never have wasted years on cheap pans. These are gorgeous.

I never knew a sheet pan could make a difference... :/

Question: how does the writer describe the difficulty of using this product?

It is so easy to use, I can stand in one spot and vacuum a large area at one time. Having two batteries is great, as the one in it (not in the charging holder) goes down quickly, but the back-up finishes my house. Three problems: 1. There's a screw on the side between the handle and the bottom that won't stay screwed in. 2. The bristles have to be checked every time to clean it, with my shoulder-length hair. 3. The dust holder just barely stays on the unit; the button that holds it in place barely fits right.It was real easy to put together from the box.But it picks up great and fast and easy, and always amazes me that I can make such a mess to fill the filter!

Question: what brand of product is the user reviewing?

I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. That said, they still feel quite cheap and light for hanger/hooks. For the most part, I think you can only use these as decor. When I try to hang coats on them, the bird is too shallow to securely hold a jacket or something thicker than a dog leash. If you do get something to hang off of it, the plastic is really light and will kind of jump up when you grab your coat if it is not super securely fastened onto your wall as flush as possible. My next problem is with the key magnet. The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else. If you have any extra doodads or more keys, it probably won't be able to hold it and the magnet usually just pops right out along with your keys. This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. I don't recommend.

This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. I don't recommend.


Question: how many stars did the writer give the product?

Answer: 2

I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. That said, they still feel quite cheap and light for hanger/hooks. For the most part, I think you can only use these as decor. When I try to hang coats on them, the bird is too shallow to securely hold a jacket or something thicker than a dog leash. If you do get something to hang off of it, the plastic is really light and will kind of jump up when you grab your coat if it is not super securely fastened onto your wall as flush as possible.

Question: Who would this mug make a good gift for?

The Primula Double Wall Glass Mug with Tea Bag Buddy is such a simple idea that it's one of those you're surprised isn't commonplace these days.

Question: What couldn't they remove from the oven?

These things are a bit difficult to get use to when gripping things. I found that I could not remove my Lodge cast iron skillet from the oven using one of these, it took two. I much prefer my Farberware Pro Silicone Grabbers. You can get them here at Amazon. Gripping the skillet handle with the OXO puts the cloth part in contact with the pan, and on a gas stove, the flame, so that is out. I can see how keeping your thumb out of the holder would improve your grip, but who wants to keep their hand out of the holder reaching into a 400 degree oven? The Silicone Grabbers are a much better tool for my needs.

Question: Which country do they claim the item must be made in?

Unfortunately, this item has turned out to be yet another example of the poor quality and workmanship that has become the current standard. No doubt made in China or some sweat shop, this kettle burned out a year and only a few days beyond its warrenty. My last cheapy kettle is over 17 years old and my nephew states that it continues to work like a charm. But such quality is only a small reminder of what once was. I am informed that it would be cheaper to replace this item than to have it repaired. Not likely!

Question: What is the first material mentioned in the review?

This is like a dense, dense cotton, or a very thin felt. It doesn't crinkle, and seems very sturdy. Easy to put on with 2 people-- doable with one. Slips on then zips on one end.

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: What fondue do you like?

My husband and I love this fondue pot period. I've only had one time that something burnt to the bottom and that was my fault for turning the heat up too high. We've tried broths, cheese, and chocolate in it and couldn't be happier! My only complaint is what it seems all overs have griped about too, the cord is very short. We even have an outlet right under our table and still need an extension cord, but unlike most others we don't really mind using one. No, it's not pretty but it lets us eat our fondue on the table and not on the floor. One piece of advice I will give others is when preparing to use a broth, preheat the pot. If not it will take forever to heat up enough to actually cook your food.

Question: How big is the top sheet?

I was not expecting sateen sheets, I like heavy smooth cotton sheets. These are heavy, not all that smooth and small, the bottom sheet fit nice and tight, but one of the corners had a hole in it. The top sheet is tiny. It barely tucks in at the end (my mattress is thick but but not a pillow top or super thick) there's about 3 inches hanging past the end of the mattress and barely covers the mattress on the sides. I waited for these to go down for about 8 months - so though I only paid $64.99 - I'm returning them. Oh, the pillow cases barely cover my pillows. (and they are standard size) Buy at your own risk.

Question: Was the AC unsafe?

Mine also gave me an AC 'tingle' electrical shock or sensation so I returned it after one use. No trouble with Amazon returns. It has a very long AC cord which was handy. Depending how dirty the inside of your PC is..you might want to consider cleaning it with this unit outside. It worked a treat BUT mine had a shock feeling on one of the screw heads when inadvertently touching it..I am sure a 1 in a million factory oversight ..SO I still gave it 5 stars because it is so powerful and did a great cleaning job. It is also so damn noisy I'm not sure if my cat will ever come home. It also gets pretty hot after 10 minutes which honestly is a long time. I would have kept it as I intended to do BUT with the shock tingle I returned it and am waiting for a 2nd one to arrive..I'll update here accordingly. This blower truly does beat cans of air..it blows them away!! <-- get it? Oh well...:)PS- my first desktop PC (years ago) was a Micron brand..I NEVER cleaned it..after 18 months it had a mat of dirt and cat hair on the power supply grill and inside the case like clothes dryer lint filters do...the power supply failed . Now I clean my desktop PC annually...live and learn.

Depending how dirty the inside of your PC is..you might want to consider cleaning it with this unit outside. It worked a treat BUT mine had a shock feeling on one of the screw heads when inadvertently touching it..I am sure a 1 in a million factory oversight ..SO I still gave it 5 stars because it is so powerful and did a great cleaning job. It is also so damn noisy I'm not sure if my cat will ever come home. <hl> It also gets pretty hot after 10 minutes <hl> which honestly is a long time. I would have kept it as I intended to do BUT with the shock tingle I returned it and am waiting for a 2nd one to arrive..I'll update here accordingly. This blower truly does beat cans of air..it blows them away!! <-- get it? Oh well...:)PS- my first desktop PC (years ago) was a Micron brand..I NEVER cleaned it..after 18 months it had a mat of dirt and cat hair on the power supply grill and inside the case like clothes dryer lint filters do...the power supply failed . Now I clean my desktop PC annually...live and learn.
