Question: Which brand's pads were least effective?

I really like these cloths. They are so simple to use. They have velcro pads on the back. You just toss them on the floor and set your Haan Slim & Light on top of them and they stick. Voila. Could not be any easier.I had the Enviro steamer prior to the Haan. The Enviro pads were quite awful. They're all cotton and got soaking wet every time. They also shrunk in the wash, unlike the Haan pads ... which are microfiber. The Enviro pads were also difficult to put on and off. You have to get down and try to clamp them on, which wasn't easy because they were not shaped to fit. Compared to them the Haan is a delight to use!

Question: What type of marks aren't left on the product because it rarely needs to be touched?

1.5 months after purchase. Still absolutely loving it!!! Even if I ended up having to press the open and close button (which so far has not been necessary because the auto open and close still works perfectly) I would still recommend this can. It is huge so you don't have to take out the trash nearly so often! It seals in smells amazingly well so no worries about odor either. No fingerprints... well.. you hardly have to ever touch it so maybe that's part of the benefit. It presses nice and tight and flat to the wall so it's a spacesaver in my dining room. Great price!! Love It Love It Love It!!

Question: What is this an improvement on?

I've been using my Breville three months now and love it. I live alone so this is a perfect little oven for me! The only problem I had was my smoke detector kept going off when I used "broil" I learned to overcome this problem by using the lower rack instead of the suggested top rack. (you can always make adjustments with this oven)Pizza is great as I can set the oven for two small slices. What an improvement over using a microwave which totally deletes the taste of pizza.I also bake my own granola in my oven and much more.Kay

Question: What feature does it have that is useful when you can't read it right away?

Purchased this thermometer along with the CDN IRXL220 Large Dial Insta-Read Thermometer. I use the Large Dial for roasts and this one for poultry (this thermometer's sensing part extends from its tip for 3/4 of an inch which works better for the thinner poultry meat). I tested both of them out of the box on a glass of ice water and a pot of boiling water. The readings were right on at 32 and 212 degress plus or minus a smidgen of a degree. So far, this thermometer works well and has not given me any problems. Its hold feature comes in handy when you need to get to a better light source to read the temperature.

Question: What type of spoons are no longer used?

I was a big fan of these when they first came out and used one of them constantly. I never use wooden spoons anymore and anything I have that is silicone, is heat resistant. The reason I bought this one is that my favorite one suddenly broke off a chunk of silicone. I'm not sure why it happened but I decided to toss it.I find this one is not nearly as stiff or friendly to use. The other one had the stiffening center core product that was closer to the end of the silicone so that it was more usable when mixing something. This one has quite a bit of squishy silicone near the tip that just bends when you try to mix something. It also doesn't feel as durable in my hand.

Question: What about the lid is hard?

I was excited about the shape of this water pitcher since my Brita pitcher took up so much valuable space in my refrigerator and this one does not. The profile is quite slim and attractive. However, the filter is very shallow and takes a while to filter the water before you can fill up the entire pitcher. Also the lid is difficult to remove and replace. It's a bit clunky and awkward.I do like that the filter has a timer that you press to activate that will tell you it's time for new filter. I'm curious to see how much the filter replacements costs versus the Brita pitcher. Even if it is cheaper than the Brita, I think the Filtrete's seductive shape isn't enough to justify my attention.

Question: For whom did this reviewer buy this lunchbox?

Bought this for my 21 month old and actually to make it easier for myself as I now have all his snacks in one place while we are on the run and he just LOVES it. My son is very into being a "big boy" and definitely feels like one with his new Thomas lunchbox. The thermos with straw is just perfect for him as he doesn't drink out of sippy cups and he loves to press the button to pop open the cap. It comes with this AWESOME extra thomas themed tupperware type container with two sections AND it also has a "secret" compartment in the front of the lunchbox. It's very sturdy and has a nice carry handle as well as a very nice latch to keep it closed, we LOVE IT! Can't go wrong with this one AND just one last goodie...when you put it in the dishwasher, the images DO NOT come off...YAY!! Just perfect! Update: I paid $14.00 for this, price JUST went up for the holidays to $19.99 - it will go back down, watch for the sales!

Question: What is the problem with refilling cylinders of Soda Stream?

I don't know why it's so difficult to find CO2 cylinders and syrups for this unit. Only thing I can think of is Soda Stream has a huge monopoly on everything entailed. I do know that I love that I can refill my cylinders locally at a sporting goods store and some beverage centers as well, unlike Soda Stream which aren't compatible with the systems the previous mentioned venues offer, or you need to be a chemist to try and refill yourself! Just keep in mind it's only cost effective if you use the syrups or if you can use the water from your tap, because if you have to use spring water from the supermarket like I do, It just pans out. A 2 liter bottle of club soda goes for .99 and that's pretty much what a gallon of water will cost you.

Question: How often does the author vacuum their home?

Roomba Red works. It might not be as powerful as some others, but for low to medium pile carpet, it doesn't really need to be. Since it's much easier to use, I tend to vacuum the whole house 2-3 times per week. Plus each time you turn it on, it covers everything an average of 4 times. Both of these things mean MUCH cleaner carpets on a regular basis. It cleans much better than a cordless. (I have several different ones that I use for stairs) Great product. Consumer reports missed the boat. It's a robot and they are comparing it to non-robots. It may not have picked up as much in one pass as some of their other vacuums they tested but it isn't designed like a traditional vacuum. It goes over things 4 times, plus you use it much more often since you don't actually have to vacuum. Also, cleaning it is important and there are other important things to know to use it well. Check out [...] to get great info.

Question: What does red wine have to do in order to taste its best?

I have just started to drink a bit more wine lately, and although I'm certainly no wine connoisseur, I do know enough to realize that your red wine needs to decant a bit for optimum taste. However, the decanting process seemed like such a hassle - who really wants to spend time pulling a decanter off a shelf just to have to wash it later - plus, you have to wait, and as Inigo Montoya so eloquently said, "I hate waiting." Now, the problem is solved! Attach this aerator to your bottle, pour your glass, and enjoy right away. No waiting. That makes me happy!

Question: What was used instead of a new platform?

This mattress arrived in a rectangular box that was in perfect condition (I say this because there are some reviews of the box being damaged). We unwrapped it and watched it grow. I didn't purchase a new platform; instead, it sits on my not-too-old box spring which is fine.Now, I love a firm mattress, but it conforms to my body only a little. In other words, there isn't the "wow factor" of feeling weightless yet supported like many of the other foam mattresses available. I debated returning it, but decided that I didn't want to go through the hassle of figuring out how to get it back inside the box - seems impossible once the mattress grows to its full size. So, I purchased a topper - material-filled (down, or something like it); not foam - and it does make somewhat of a difference.. However, I am thinking about getting a foam topper to see if that makes it even more conforming.So, while this mattress does give me a good night's sleep, I wouldn't buy it again.

Question: What type of batteries does this product use?

I think the best thing about the American Innovative Portable Dual-Timer is the batteries! We have a total of 3 kitchen timers lurking in a drawer waiting for those flat round batteries that we never remember to buy! This nifty timer takes two AAA batteries. We always have that size around as our remotes require the same. I had a challenge opening the door to insert the included batteries: "use fingernail(some force required)". Don't use your fingernail, carefully use the tip of a knife, as I did! The other "tool" required is an open paperclip, used to press the very tiny button in order to set the Clock, a simple and easy procedure. Once all that was accomplished, on to playing with the other features of the timer....the Dual(2) Countdown timers work beautifully, either with buzzer, or the vibration mode. The screen is large and shows what is happening. Haven't used Stopwatch or the Keypad Lock yet, no reason, but figure it will be fine. The unit has a sturdy belt clip if you need to move around, and the strong magnet will rest snugly on a metal surface for easy access. I did not see any OFF button(to save battery life), and usually have it set on the Clock when not in use! Hopefully, I did not miss something. Anyway, it is a great little multi-talented Timer!

Question: What material did Pyrex and Anchor Hocking stop using?

I'm tired of plastic containers that eventually look cruddy (try putting chili in one) or newer pieces of Pyrex/Anchor Hocking glassware that easily break. They are no longer made using borosilicate glass, and increasingly consumers (like me) are left to deal with inferior quality. Lock & Lock glass containers are made from borosilicate, and their pieces offer many qualities essential for kitchen/entertaining use.I appreciate containers that can withstand oven, microwave and freezer use. With proper care, these look like they will hold up well. I like the simple design and attractive lids--food looks appealing enough to serve "as is." No need to switch out to another bowl when serving to company at home or at away get-togethers.Make sure you know what size pieces you are getting. The picture for this eight piece set makes the containers look larger than they actually are. This set is ideal for empty-nesters or recipes that call for about two servings. The two identical square bowls are only .48 quart size (that will hold a little less than 2 cups of something) and the two round containers are 1.37 quart (6 1/2 cups) and 0.8 quart (about 3 cups). These are definitely not going to serve a crowd.All in all a nice product, but I wish they were more reasonably priced.

They are no longer made using <hl> borosilicate glass <hl> , and increasingly consumers (like me) are left to deal with inferior quality.


Question: What kind of edge does the cutter have?

I have a drawer full of OXO kitchen tools so I definitely am impressed by OXO's product line. Good quality, comfort, effectiveness, and smart design are the hallmarks of OXO and this tool is no exception.Ideally this is the size of a perfect wedge of pie. It has a comfortable handle and is made of a sturdy grade of stainless steel. It is flexible enough to make a non-messy first cut and it can slide under to pick up the last piece of pie. It has a serrated edge that produces a nice cut and it washes up nicely by hand or dishwasher without staining.It also has a hole in the handle which is perfect for hanging on a rack.Overall, a great pie cutter which can handle a hefty wedge of pie.

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.

Question: What can be used in the dishwasher?

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 has not been impacted?

This scale is great. Quick, sleek, responsive. The TARE function is mandatory so you dont have to dirty the scale.One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF! The functionality of the scale has NOT been impacted, and I know its the on off button (theres only 2 buttons on the whole machine) but still, I was surprised the ink faded so quickly...

Question: How long doe sthe user soak the pan for when cleaning?

Bought this pan about a month ago, and have been using it constantly. I've made burgers and steak and they've come out beautifully -- nicely seared on the outside, juicy on the inside. It also makes the best grilled cheese (I use my tea kettle -- filled with water -- as a grill press). I also used it a few times to make grilled bread to accompany soups and salads (touch of garlic-infused olive oil brushed on the surface)and it has really infused the bread with flavor. I find cleaning relatively easy, but you need to let the pan cool first. Then I place it in the sink, squirt dishwashing liquid in it and fill with hot water. Let it soak about 1/2 hour and whatever is stuck on wipes off easily. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Question: how many large steaks can the writer cook on this pan?

I bought this pan about 3 years ago. It hangs on a side of my cabinets where I can reach it easily. Today, it looks as new as the day I bought it. Cleans up so easily! Just a little soapy water and a soft dishrag or plastic pad... and it's looking new again! I cook on a gas stove and the handle of this pan does require me to use a potholder of some sort. It's not exactly hot... more, just uncomfortably warm. Since the description says handle stays cool... I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. All in all, this pan is a workhorse, it doesn't hold odors and it's one of the best kitchen pans I've ever purchased. I love the ability to grill indoors on my stove without having to give it any thought! I can easily grill four steaks on this pan. Or 2 large steaks. Think I'll have a nice grilled steak tonight!

Question: What photo is printed onto the curtain?

I got this shower curtain to match my Audrey's Garden accessories that I bought on clearance at BBB several years ago. Each piece of the collection has a different flower in white on a black background, absolutely beautiful, although I didn't get the glasses. The shower curtain is translucent, but I put a black liner behind it. It is absolutely beautiful! The photo is at the side, as you can see, not in the middle of the shower curtain. This is a real plus because you can push the shower curtain to the side and still see most of the beautiful photo of tulips on the shower curtain. I got the hooks and the black liner here at amazon.com, could have gotten the shower curtain, too, but I didn't know it was here and I had already ordered the curtain from walmart.com. Had it shipped to the store so I didn't have to pay postage. I recommend the curtain, the black liner and the little black painted flower shower hooks.

Question: What was mentioned in one of the reviews?

Exactly as described, except... that I expected to assemble it. It came assembled. I have a 50" plasma TV that weighs about 60 pounds on it and it holds it perfectly.I noticed that one of the reviews mentioned the underside of the top was unfinished. The one I received IS finished on the underside of the top. I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza to make room to place a dialog speaker in front of the stand.It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong.Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly.

Question: What does the writer say about clean up?

I was afraid this was going to be a bugger to put together and use, but I was wrong. It's simple to put together, simple to use and not really bad to clean up. I have only ground up a 5 lb roast and it took me longer to cut the meat into pieces than it did to grind it. If I were doing a large animal it would probably take two people to cut the meat up fast enough for one person to feed it and then take another to wrap it. I will be able to go to the local slaughter/butcher, buy meat that has only been handled there and bring home to grind. I believe this is a purchase that will pay for itself.

Question: What size is writing on the sleeve?

I am by no means a grilling expert, so I'll keep this short and sweet.Does it work, yes. It tells the temperature of any piece of meat I have on the grill. It also comes with a handy sleeve that contains a guide to how hot meat should be cooked. The writing on it is fairly small, so bring your glasses!Measuring- this thermometer seems to take forever!! It claims 5 to 8 seconds, but I literally almost burned my hand and dropped it in the process while waiting to read the temperature over a 400+ degree grill. It does the job, but not very well, in my opinion.

Question: What is slow?

First I must say that this neat little gadget is SLOW. It would be a lot quicker to just thump the edge of the jar on the floor to release the seal. However, now that I have hard wood in the kitchen, I needed another option.This jar opener would be a perfect solution for the elderly and others who have weak hands or an injury. I have owned mine for about six months and have good luck with it opening all sized jars. Just hold down the button and off it goes.It's simple to operate and stores easily due to its small size. Definitely a keeper, if you don't mind the wait!

Question: What is the product made of?

I work in a hospital and I have used charcoal to get rid of the smell in the foulest rooms. Naturally I thought this product would work for my son's room. He is 5 and still has night time accidents. Even with changing the sheets every day the smell is still in his mattress. So we changed to a plastic mattress and it still smells. I put this in his room thinking it would help but it doesn't. The packaging is really cute and it doesn't look bad just sitting in the room. I just can't tell that it is doing anything at all.

Question: What does this product leak at times?

I never bought an extended warrant until I bought this. I read how it cleaned rugs well and broke often so I bought it.I like using it until it breaks, and it breaks every other time I use it. It is always the two water containers. I bought it at best buy and it has been back there 7 times in about three years.The handle will snap off or chip so that when you try to pick up the dirty water bucket, the top falls off. One time, the clean water container committed suicide! It just shot off the machine and broke.If the container breaks when you are just starting to clean, it may leak water.I hope that there will be no spills when it is off being repaired.It doesn't matter how gentle or careful you are, it will break anyway. Assume that when the warrant is over, your machine will be no good.By the way the hand tool sprays wide and so is difficult to control.

It just shot off the machine and broke.If the container breaks when you are just starting to clean, it may leak water.I hope that there will be no spills when it is off being repaired.It doesn't matter how gentle or careful you are, it will break anyway. Assume that when the warrant is over, your machine will be no good.By the way the hand tool sprays wide and so is difficult to control.


Question: What does the user compare the bottle to?

I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink. But I have to admit -- it's handy. I especially like having one in the car.I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. But I don't like it when the water gets warm and in the summer, leaving the bottle in the car means hot drinking water. Yuk. So I wondered, there must be insulated bottles and sure enough found this one.Love it.It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool.The spout is handy and flips open easily. It doesn't leak at all.

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: The fan is not powerful enough to do what?

This item operates as it should. All mechanical operations did not fail. It is simply too small, and not powerful enough to cool anything with any degree of effectiveness. I followed all directions for use. Inserted fresh batteries. Turned it on. Then left it in my car for a few hours on a 60 degree temperature day. When I came back to the car, the fan was still on. But the interior was hot. The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to, but the air was not cool. All that it did was circulate hot air. If this fan can't cool the inside of a car, then how is it suppose to work in a room?

Question: How tall is the author?

I mean it! I never realized that I woke up with back pain until I woke up from the first morning of sleeping on this bed with none! I was amazed. I fall asleep quicker than I ever have before... I sleep more sound than I ever have before... I don't catch myself waking up in the middle of the night like I used to on my spring mattress.The bed is firm enough that you don't sink into it and have a hard time getting out like I thought would happen, but instead you can't feel where your bones come into contact with the bed through your skin (like your hips and shoulders).Since I have a standard King/Queen frame I have to use my box spring from my old mattress to support the new Memory Foam mattress, but it works well. The only difference is that the bed gets a lot higher, and I, being 5'4, have to "jump" into bed now.Another thing that caught me off guard is how quiet the bed is. There's no squeaking anymore, if you shift by "hopping" your body around you don't hear a thing. It's amazing!Now if only this bed could make my boyfriend stop snoring...

Question: Who provided this cutting board for review?

Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart. Not only is it easy to clean, it's thin enough not to take up much room in storage and it's attractive enough to leave out when company is over.I've been cutting fruit on it, and yes, the knife makes marks. I've never owned a cutting board that doesn't get marred with knives. That's just how they work. Better the board gets marred than my precious knives get dull. Boards that are too hard are no good.I like this board. The only thing missing is a groove around the edge to catch drippings.This product was provided for review by Slippery Kitchen.

Question: what does the husband forget to take out?

I adore my husband. But he is always hunting for his keys before work. He also has trouble remembering to take outgoing mail to the mailbox, even if I place it on the table beside the front door OR stick it in between the door and doorframe so that it falls out and lands at his feet as he leaves the house. He just steps right over it and I've got to run it out like an Olympic track star when I hear the mail truck come around the corner.I installed this above the light switch next to the front door, and he can hang his keys and grab the outgoing mail in one swipe. He also has no excuse for not taking the dog out with his leash because it's in there, too.For any wife of a forgetful hubby, this is a real godsend.

Question: What product is the person hesitant to review?

I am a little apprehensive when it comes to reviewing space heaters. Most manufacturers in this business keep changing their model numbers every year, so even if a heater gets a rave review this year, you won't be able to find the same model next year. So why bother, right?Having said, I have used this heater for the entire winter season, and it didn't break. This is more than what I can say about another heater which I also bought at around the same time. That heater died a death of clicks in only a couple of months of use. I think it was the thermostat or a relay that went bad. What a shame having to throw away an almost brand new heater in the trash!This heater is different. It is infrared heating, and it has a blower motor. It has a thermostat, which can dial down the heating elements to save you some electricity. It heats up a medium sized room very quickly. For a small bedroom, it is inappropriate as it is too much heat, so I don't recommend this for small rooms. Infrared heating is like forced air heating. It is toasty when the heater is on, but it gets cold very quickly when the heater is off. In a bedroom situation, the blower motor could be too loud for light sleepers. Keep that in consideration. If I have to do this over again, I would probably go for a radiant oil heater which keeps the room temperature more steady.

Question: Is the groove suitable to perfectly cook bacon?

I received this grill last year as a Christmas gift and I love it. It very rarely leaves my stove top. I've cooked steaks and chicken on the grill and pancakes, bacon and eggs on the griddle and haven't had a problem with anything sticking. I use my grandmother's method of taking care of the grill -- let it cool completely (NEVER put hot cast iron in water, it cracks and gets little holes in it); coat with coarse salt, scrub with a paper towel, rinse with plain water (never use soap); place on a hot stove to dry and then coat with a layer of vegetable oil and let it cool. The pan is always ready to use and I've never had a problem with sticking. My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?) if I'm not watching.

Question: What does the steamer in an iron do to clothes in order to avoid taking them to the dry cleaner?

It's not that using the iron is so terribly difficult but, with garments made of linen or wool, you can often iron in such a way that a seam becomes permanently visible. The steamer allows you to get rid of creases and wrinkles without leaving collateral marks on the clothes. It also is a great way to "refresh" otherwise clean clothes that I'd normally send to the dry cleaner just to get them to hang properly again.The hanger that's included isn't that great, but when I substitute my own padded hangers it's ideal.For whatever reason, using the iron seems like a chore, but using the steamer is like playing with a toy. It's easy to set up and operate, plus it saves me money! I love it!

Question: What type of drink does the reviewer mention?

There is going to be more blending happening at my house! This blender is aces. Simple to operate, and really gets the job done well and fast. The container holds 64 ounces, so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to.It's so simple, a high/low switch and an on/off switch. The instructions are short and simple, too. It very likely will be the last blender we'll ever need!I had given up on blenders because they were complicated and failed quickly. Too much to figure, and too easy to go wrong. So I love this one!

Question: What kind of material is the trash can insert?

These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk. They're fingerprint proof and include 3 FREE BAGS for you to use. There's a plastic insert in the trash can to allow for easily hiding the trash bags and for holding the bags in place. If you'd prefer not to buy the Simple Human trash bags, you can use grocery store bags or if you're REALLY feeling adventurous, you could skip the bag and just wash the plastic insert after you throw out it's contents in a different room. (Ex. The kitchen as that one really should have a bag and be much larger)
