Question: How does the writer feel about cleaning the Juicer?

I've not had one issue with this juicer thus far *knocks on wood* I've been using this daily since it shipped and absolutely love it!If I had to change one thing about this Juicer it would be adding a bigger sized barel to trap the pulp, otherwise it's fantastic for the price, you just can't beat it. If you're juicing leafy green veggies and such, you don't have to clean this product after every use, only if you add in fruit.Cleanup is relatively simple, the screen takes a little scrubbing with some soap but cleans up nicely, I haven't had an issue with particles being stuck in the grating, it's all come out very easily with hot water.Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect juicer, it doesn't exist but for a centrifugal, this is definitely on top.

Question: How long were they supposed to use at first?

We bought these because they were on sale, and it's hard to find black. At the start, they were suppossed to be temporary.Then we bought extra plates, because we'd fallen in love with them. Not only are they classy and match the decor, but these are tough. I'm a klutz, and these bowls bounce right off of the floor, nothing broken yet, and coming up to a year.My only complaint is the small size of the cups, and I about never use the saucers, but that's a matter of taste, and there are other sets available.

Question: What are they blown away by?

Sometimes the design of something is so cool that I like using it to just get to see it work and this is one of those items. I can have one side up to dry one sweater or both sides up to dry 3 sweaters or put the sides down and slip clothing on just the bars or fold it very easily to store. I can not say enough good things about this dryer and even though we have a new house, I have been known to show this dryer before showing off the house. I am still blown away at how much it can hold and how light it is. I do use it inside so I can't tell ya how it is in the wind. If you can't tell, I think it is the best I've seen! (written by Perry's wife)

Question: How much does it cost them to refill the tank?

This is a substantial piece of brass! I realize it's WAY over priced. Everyone is looking to make a buck off the Sodastream bandwagon, it seems. But once you look past the price gouging, it IS worth it. I'm finding that in our area, the price of CO2 seems to be higher than other reviewers. It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod. Just bite the bullet and get it.

Question: What is this tool perfect for?

I love my microplane, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I love this Cusipro Fine Rasp Grater as well! Different things grate slightly better or worse based on the size of the etched holes (microplane has more variation) -- but overall, very similar. Since the surface area on the Cusipro is larger, it gets through jobs a little faster. I also like the feel in my hand and protective bottom. Well done, Cusipro!Overall, this tool is perfect for hard cheeses, chocolate, zesting citrus and similar tasks. It is not designed for softer cheeses or veggies -- leave those to your box grater or food processor.

Question: Can you use the vacuum on the steps?

I love my Dyson. It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. You can see when the canister gets full. The only thing I don't really like is the way the tool attachments work. There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments (there are all the standard extras). It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.

Question: Where is the Benriner made?

This was surprisingly poorly made, especially given the price. The ceramic blade worked well enough but the entire body of the thing flexed when in use. You'd be so much better off with the smallest size Benriner from Japan like this oneBenriner Japanese Mandoline Slicerand this to protect your fingersMicroplane 34007 Kitchen Cut-Protection Glove. I seriously expected this to be of better quality given Kyocera's reputation.ThisOXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicerwasn't a good choice either. It worked okay, but the blades dulled in six uses or so.The Benriner has replaceable blades and is much more sturdily built than the Kyocera or OXO products. I can't recommend either of them.

Question: What doesn't stay on?

I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me, but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality.The fan works ok, but it looks just as cheap as any other fan, so we'll see if it holds up. The most annoying thing about it though, is the base doesn't stay on, this is a terribly poor design, any time I go to pick it up the base falls off, and I have to grab that and bring it with me.

Question: When does the author use their mug for coffee?

I have to say I was leery at first at the spill-proof claims, based on life experience with travel cups, mugs and tumblers.However, this is absolutely that - 100% spill-proof. Great shape for gripping, fits in the cupholders and keeps my coffee hot for the drive in each morning.Did I mention it comes in enough colors to match anybody's tastes? My blue one is almost the same color as my 10th Anniversary Edition Miata so I am pleased there.The only possible improvement I would ask for is a larger size in the same design. 16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly. However, where is the fun in that? I loaded it up with a carbonated citrus soda on ice and demonstrated its failure to leak for my wife by inverting it several times. When I lifted the cup to my mouth and pressed the trigger, I got a virtual fountain of beverage propelled directly into my mouth. The laughter from my wife was worth the small cleanup effort required afterward. Seriously, non-carbonated drinks probably ARE better in the long run, unless you are trying for the comedy effect.

Question: Can you clean the grinder out after use?

I've owned 4 burr grinders over the years. A manual, pioneer-style grinder, an inexpensive Braun burr grinder, a very expensive Rancilio Rocky doserless grinder, and this - The Bodum Bistro (mine is orange).My Rancilio was my favorite, but it's strictly for grinding straight into a portafilter for espresso. My manual grinder provides the best results, but it takes 3 minutes to grind your coffee each morning. The Braun was very inexpensive (about $35) and was OK, much better than the pulse grinders that give you grounds of all different sizes (not what you want).So, how do I like the Bodum Bistro. Well, I love it but I just can't give it five stars, because it's not the ultimate coffee grinder.What it is though is a very well designed, legitimate coffee grinder that makes my mornings very efficient. You set the grind, and you set how long you want to grind and these settings remain, so when you want to grind your beans, you simply depress one button and it takes care of it. It's fairly loud, but it takes only about 10 seconds so it's not too bad. One major advantage of this device is that it employs a glass hopper, instead of Plastic. It's easy to clean, and it doesn't have the static problem you get with plastic hoppers.I also like the size of this device. It's quite small, but the hopper is relatively large.All in all I think they really put some thought into this product. I've been using mine for over a year and I have no intention of replacing it any time soon.Note - I use this to grind for a one-cup Mellita pourover that uses #2 paper filters. I get a good balance between speed (takes 3 minutes between grinding and taking my first sip (my water is already at 208 thanks to my Japanese hot water pot that keeps hot water ready at all times.)Pros-Relatively inexpensiveSmall footprintGlass hopper for the ground coffeeLarge hopper for the whole beansTimed grind for convenience, simplicity and consistencyNo need to hold a button while grinding. Just push once and you're goodMuch better results than with a blade grinderCons-Result not quite as good as manual grinder (but better than many other grinders under $300)Recommendation - If you currently use a blade grinder, do yourself a favor and move up to a burr grinder. It makes an enormous difference. This is a very good one.

Question: What issues was the reviewer having with thier closet?

I have one tiny closet to hold my vacuum, ironing board, cleaning chemicals, and all the things needed to clean my house and the things in it, We were really having issues with the closet getting over-crowded and things falling on top of each other, and this was one of the things we bought to try to organize it. After having had it now for almost a year, I can say it's been very helpful. The ironing board, iron, and related products are out of the way from all of the other items in the closet, extending only a few inches from the door, but very accessible when time to use them. Recommended!

Question: how you know about the working process of the product?

I'm very new to my Kitchenaid Mixer and it has been intimidating to use at first. I got this roller to try out making my own ravioli's. I hate rolling out dough.I attached this to my Kitchenaid Classic 4.5Q and it fit and worked perfect. After watching a video on youtube to understand more on what to do I tried it out. It is easy and kind of fun.I would recommend this to anyone that has a kitchenaid mixer. I also recommend if you have never used one to check out some videos on youtube to understand it more.Now I only need to get the ravioli maker. :)

Question: What would be better to use instead?

This thing is very annoying if you're used to the larger Keurig machines. You can only make one cup at a time, and each time, you have to WAIT for the water to heat up in it! Not sure what the pros are for that - it's still taking almost as much time as a regular brewer does to make one cup of coffee. We had a race to prove that. Really, truthfully, go with the larger versions of these things. You'll be happier, get going faster, and you can change the temperature of the water and the size of the cup. This one only goes up to a 10 ounce size whereas mine goes up to a 14 ounce. It's good for those who don't mind waiting but for the price, you may as well use a regular coffee pot.

Question: What is the power source?

I am really happy with this Electric Water Kettle. I am a big tea drinker, and I have tried other types of hot water makers, only to have them leak all over. This pot is fast and easy to use. It's very convenient, easy to fill, and the water actually boils, which is essential for good tea. The price of this was a bit more than some of the other brands, but it was well worth it!I know we will use this even more in the winter time, for other hot drinks and soups. It's just so easy! If you're a tea person, this pot is definitely for you.

Question: how long ago was the product purchased?

We purchased this a few months ago. Since we purchased it, it has been a terrible product. First, the machine constantly clogs. Expect to have to turn it off and reach your hand up into the canister to clear it out at least 4 times while vacuuming one room. There is very little suction both before it clogs and after clearing a clog. The HEPA filter slides out by itself while vacuuming a room. The hose is very short making it very difficult to reach distances. It also falls over easily. This may be problematic if you have children. All in all this was a bad purchase. I have no idea why this has so many good reviews. Think twice before buying this one.

Question: What is dusty?

My bedroom is very dusty for some reason. I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter. But I didn't want some monstrous thing sitting in the middle of the room. This was an ideal solution. It fits on my nightstand perfectly and I run in 24/7. It's not super quiet, but the white noise is actually a bit soothing. It did take a few days for me to get used to it. The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. After a month or so I took a look at the filter - it was covered in dust - but I simply vacuumed it clean and it seems good as new. Great benefit in my opinion. I hate constantly buying and replacing filters. No need here. Nice, tabletop unit.

Question: What does the writer love the toaster the most?

I'm pleased with this toaster. The ejector slide is big and easy to use, as is the shade knob. The buttons could be bigger, and it's hard to read their labels. So memorize that the bottom button is cancel and the top button is bagel.The thing I like most about this toaster is the commendable uniformity of its toasting. Stick a sliced frozen bagel in it and it comes out a beautiful uniform brown.That's about it. A lack of bells & whistles, and focusing on toasting make this an easy recommend for any kitchen.

Question: What does the reviewer think of the product?

I used the recipe (in the encluded book) for vanilla cupcakes but used lemon extract instead of vanilla. Makes enough batter for 3 batches of 7. Just perfect. I tried the final batch without paper cups and they work fine if you like a little more of a crispy outside. The tops didn't brown but they were totally cooked. No clean up to speak of. Didn't have to heat up an oven. Very nifty little gadget. BTW I bought one of the used/like new ones listed for a few $$ savings. Looks new to me but the box had been opened is all.

Question: Why does the reviewer wish it came with another cloth?

This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. We have stone tiles in the kitchen and I've been finding it hard to clean lately. I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been boiling water and using that as mop water. This is perfect -- saves me a step and works twice as well! The cord is really short, so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint. I also wish there was another cloth that came with it so I would always have one ready when the other one is in the wash. Quick to heat up and quick to dry as well. Really enjoying this product!

Question: What are two notable compliments the author made of this scale?

I was searching all over the place for an extremely accurate scale and finally settled on this one. Now that I've owned it for almost 3 years, I can confirm that it's extremely durable and totally accurate. I've done comparisons with very expensive laboratory and M.D. scales, and have found this one to be right on the money. I even use it to weigh my cat just before bringing him to the vet. His weight at the vet is always the same as what I measure on this scale. This is a solid, heavy weight and sturdy scale, and certainly much better than anything else I've used in the past. When they say precision, that's exactly what they mean, right down to a tenth of a pound. You won't be dissatisfied if you purchase this scale. I give it 5 big stars.

Question: How frequently does the reviewer consume yogurt?

I love this yogurt maker! Since I am making greek yogurt - I don't make it in the jars. Instead I bought a 7-cup pyrex bowl that fits perfectly in this maker.

Question: What is not under warranty?

I actually like to iron and own the Rowenta Professional iron. I have used it a half dozen times and it is useless. The iron doesn't heat - not even on the cotton linen setting.As per Rowenta, inorder to have it serviced I would pack it up and send it to a service center, and pay for shipping and repair which is more than the cost of a replacement iron.It is not under warrantee as it was in storage - unused - and was purchased last summer, so it is over a year old.I have had irons last many years and they keep steaming along. This one is a disappointment.

Question: What is sticky rice good for?

I own two other rice cookers and this is the best and my favorite. I can not wait to make bread in it! It is a small rice cooker that is perfect for a small family.Adding a bit more detail as of May 25, 2009 - I really can not say enough about this rice cooker. I use it on a daily basis to make jasmine rice. My jasmine rice comes out perfect on the quick cycle. Try adding a little bit of olive oil in with the rice before it begins boiling. Not too much. I have found just a little bit of olive oil gives it a nice sheen and keeps it from gumming up and getting too sticky. Of course, sometimes sticky is good. Especially when making Korean BBQ. Yum!

Question: What makes cord handling a snap?

I really like this machine. Really, really like it. And I hate vacuums. It's unnatural how much I like it. It works great, is convenient, and happens to be the best value I could find.The handle release switch almost caused me to return it, but I figured it out after two uses. Here's how to make it work smoothly: * Press the handle forward, * Press the release switch with your whole foot (it takes some pressure; toes won't work, but the outside of my right foot works fine), and * gently pull the handle back.Follow the manual and use a height setting that lets the brushes just contact the carpet to avoid burning up belts. Scrubbing the carpet at a low height doesn't clean better and wears both the machine and the carpet out faster.PROS:** Using attachments is convenient; they don't stick out and stay where they're put. Switching from floor to attachments is easy, too, and the suction is great. I'm surprised how much I like the power paw.** Nothing will revive my 15 year old carpet, but this really cleans deeply. It even pulled the cat hair out of the jute area rug, which has no pile.** The cord clip on the handle makes cord handling a snap. When using attachments I unclip the cord so it comes from the bottom and won't tip the machine over.** The cord is long enough; I only have to move the plug once to do my 1500 square foot apartment.** The brush roll stops when the handle is upright and you can switch it off when you're pushing the vacuum around unplugged. Few vacuums in this price range have that option.** It takes up less room in the closet than my canister vac did.** It's heavy duty, which means it's not great for someone who's frail or has back/shoulder problems. But heavy means solid, which is what I want.CONS:** It's a vacuum cleaner. Really, I hate vacuums, though this one inspires me to clean more often.THINGS I DON'T CARE ABOUT:Noise (I hate vacuums, remember?), hose length (could have bought the GZ instead), hard floor cleaning (don't need it).Overall I'm very satisfied. I bought an extended warranty but don't expect to need it.

Question: what doesnt the Hoover remove?

The Hoover is very well made, and to my surprise, right here in the USA. Of course some subassemblies are from Mexico etc., but still, it is nice to have something US made in the household. It cleans the carpets very well, although on stains and heavily soiled areas you do have to slow down drastically, and do the shampoo/dry cycle several times. However it does get everything but very dark and old stains out perfectly well. The holding tanks are somewhat mismatched, because you have to empty the dirty water tank before the cleaner solution tank goes dry, however, this is a very minor issue. I would highly recommend it.3/2008: Update after 2 years: The Hoover is still going strong, even after some abuse by "borrowers". This is a high quality machine, and our carpets are cleaner than they have ever been.

Question: What percent is the mug spill-proof for?

I have to say I was leery at first at the spill-proof claims, based on life experience with travel cups, mugs and tumblers.However, this is absolutely that - 100% spill-proof. Great shape for gripping, fits in the cupholders and keeps my coffee hot for the drive in each morning.Did I mention it comes in enough colors to match anybody's tastes? My blue one is almost the same color as my 10th Anniversary Edition Miata so I am pleased there.The only possible improvement I would ask for is a larger size in the same design. 16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly. However, where is the fun in that? I loaded it up with a carbonated citrus soda on ice and demonstrated its failure to leak for my wife by inverting it several times. When I lifted the cup to my mouth and pressed the trigger, I got a virtual fountain of beverage propelled directly into my mouth. The laughter from my wife was worth the small cleanup effort required afterward. Seriously, non-carbonated drinks probably ARE better in the long run, unless you are trying for the comedy effect.

Question: doing what action lets you hear the Freon inside the product?

have used this for 20 years and it's still going strong. the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream.BUT it cannot be put in the dishwasher. the super hot water temp will cause the seal to leak allowing the freon out.most likely, the current scoops are using the replacement for freon (which i can't remember the name).easiest scoop to use, easy to clean, built like a tank. it will be the last scoop you buy.

Question: The griddle also does a good job at preventing what?

I really like this griddle because I like the cooking space, BUT the griddle cooks unevenly. I'm not sure if this will go away over time. When making pancakes you can clearly see that parts of the pancake are cooking faster/better. It still cooks all the way through but I really wish it was more even. It heats to temperature quickly. The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. If it were not for the uneven heat I would definitely rate this at a 4 or 5 stars, but I really expected more for the overall review rating.

Question: What did the color of the sheet set resemble?

The color, straight out of the bag and on its own is very ... brown, and bears an unfortunate resemblence to the stuff that we have to pick up after the dogs - so this would not have been my first choice in that regard. With luck and repeated washing, perhaps they will fade to a soft camel-color, which I would not mind in the least. But - against all that, there are several qualities to recommend this sheet set. The color does work really well with the current bed-spread, and was amazingly comfortable to sleep on, and to wick away prespiration. Would most definitely purchase again ... but in a color more to my liking.

Question: What makes the grater hard to hold steady?

First, I like the rubberized handle on top. It makes holding the grater much more comfortable.But, other than that this grater is actually really annoying. With the cup on the bottom the grater is unstable. Okay, so we take it off. Then the black base catches little bits of cheese and needs to be removed in order to thoroughly clean everything (and it's not as easy to pull that little black piece off as it might sound). In order to make the handle rubberized and comfortable, OXO had to add a whole cap piece on the top which effectively makes the top row of slots on the grater useless! When we're working with a block of cheese we want to start at the top and build momentum going down the slots to make grating easy, but that's just not possible with this grater.We'll be going back to our uncomfortable grater because at least it works without all these hassles.

Question: Does the product fit cleanly into a corner angle?

After initial puzzlement I figured out how to put it together and it was not easy. I am stubborn so I got it to work. However it is much flimsier than I imagined from the photo. It was not good looking enough to put where I originally wanted it. It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it. However I did have another corner in the back of the room where it could live and look ok so there it stays. I had not realized that it was only a thin wicker front. The support rods are very difficult to get together so I would never take the cloth bag out because of its snug fit which is what actually holds everything together. I will use it but I do not recommend that anyone else purchase it. Use your $ to put toward some other basket type or the mesh fold-ups.

Question: What kind of brush assembly does the vacuum have?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What does the reviewer claim the blender smells like?

I bought this hunk of junk years ago and I can't believe it is still being sold! It is junk! I had a cheap oster years ago that did a better job. It locks up. It doesn't blend well. It is noisy. It leaks. It runs hot. It smells like burned rubber. It is useless with ice or frozen fruit. I actually have to open it and stir any thick liquids. And to top it all off, it is nearly impossible to pour anything out of it without spilling it everywhere. I bought this blender because I loved my Cuisinart food processor and the brand used to be known for quality and their products were always used on the cooking shows. Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why.

Question: What did the reviewer notice on newer toaster ovens?

The reviewers that said this product broke or has poor quality must have gotten a lemon.I bought this oven 7 years ago at Macy's not knowing how it will perform and it just died on me this weekend. I used it nearly everyday. It has many great features such as multiple settings and temperature ranges, two stackable shelves (top and bottom), and a bottom tray that collects bits of food for easy cleaning.The product is durable to say the least and looks great. The thing that I love about it is that it actually have a lot of room but isn't that large for smaller counter tops. Looking at newer toaster ovens I've noticed that most are too large and bulky.I loved this toaster oven and am seriously considering getting another since I was so happy with it for so long.

Question: What vegetable did the person buy in order to test the product?

I bought a huge quantity of iceberg lettuce on sale for the sole purpose of testing this! I washed and chopped the lettuce with my plastic lettuce knife and loaded quart mason jars. I set the lid on and sealed the jar. I set them in the fridge, all over the place, just because we all know some parts are colder than others! A week later, and the lettuce looks like it did the day a brought it home! No rust, no wilt, just perfect lettuce! I have even resealed jars after haven taken lettuce out to eat! Oh my gosh, I wish I had bought this years ago! Can't live without my food saver, bags and jar sealers now! I'll update and let you know how long the lettuce lasts if it lasts long enough before getting eaten!

Question: What types of cut do they use the tenderizer on?

I use this tenderizer all the time. We eat mainly excellent grass fed beef and this device makes it even better. We use it on the leaner cuts. We simply tenderize, add olive or grape seed oil and let it marinate for around an hour. You can add seasoning to the marinade too.The blade cover can be used to soak the sharp business end in hot soapy water to make cleaning easy.

Question: which state is the reviewer located?

Not only does this blend in with my garden so you hardly know it is there, it keeps your outlets off the ground and protected with the cover.

Question: What is this for?

Being retired and living alone I was looking for a slow cooker to be able to cook enough to make a couple of meals and something that worked and worked well. I had a couple of other slow cookers that I wasn't that happy with so looked for another and found this and it looked like what I wanted so bought it. I have been using it since I received it and in fact cooking tonight's meal in it and must say I love this slow cooker. I like the digital timer and cooking level and it works and works well. If I could give it more stars I would as this cooker is more then worth the money and I can not find any faults with it.

Question: How can you activate the super-fast scroll?

Viewing angle really bad, have to be pretty much directly in front to read. There is no way to clear, as far as I can tell, but it's not a big deal because you can just hold the minute button in and it will do the super-fast scroll to 99 then to zero to start over. Basic, very easy to use, good magnet on it. Small size, about credit card, and very thin too. Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise.

Question: What are the signs made of?

I bought two of these for my dish drawers, they're perfect for keeping everyone in the house on the same page. Despite it being cardstock (basically thick paper/thin cardboard) they do not look like cardboard at all; I was concerned that the edges of the sign would be a different color and give the sign a cheap look, but I'm quite pleased with them in person as they actually look like plastic signs. They are also quite well constructed, the slider between clean and dirty works very smoothly and I fully expect them to last a good while.Really my only complaint isn't so much a complaint but more a request; these would be perfect if they came in a stainless steel pattern, or even a bit darker shade of silver so they blended into stainless steel more.
