Question: What tool was used to assemble the new chair?

My previous desk chair had just about no padding left in the seat (thanks a lot, Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption) so I was excited to try out this mesh back chair.Assembly was very easy and only took about 5-6 minutes using the included allen wrench.After a few days of using the chair extensively I can report that it is extremely comfortable. The seat has great padding and the mesh back is contoured which really helps my lower back. My previous chair had a nearly-straight back and I guess I didn't even realize how uncomfortable it was.The height can be adjusted, from "holy cow, I'm towering over my computer desk" all the way down to "uh, I'm not sure I can get up from down here."I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it just doesn't have as many options as you might expect to see in a chair in this price range. There is no way to recline, and there are no arms. Neither particularly bothers me, as I primarily use it for PC gaming, but there are a lot of high-quality chairs out there that offer a recline option and arms for around the same price.Overall, this chair is very comfortable and I'd recommended it as long as you understand its limitations.

Question: How can you drink beer with the Chillsner popped in?

We have a small refrigerator that is packed with tons of crap for us and the kids. I don't always have the room to store lots of beers in there, so sometimes I will find myself with friends over and no cold beers. The Chillsner solves that problem. I keep them in the freezer and they do work well to make a beer cold and drinkable. It is not going to be ice cold, like it would out of a cooler at a bar, but definitely cold enough to enjoy a beer.You just freeze the chillsner, take it out of the freezer, pop it in the beer (press it in firmly) and you can drink beer right through the chillsner as the beer flows out the top of it. It keeps your beer perfectly cold. It's nice that it comes in a 2 pack as my husband and I have both used it at outdoor parties this year. We actually have four of them for us and guests. We also like the cool design. The chillsner is definitely a conversation starter at a party. People do seem to think it's cool.My one word of advice is to be careful after you take your first swig of beer. The directions say to take a swig of beer to make room for the chillsner and then insert it. If you take a chug and insert the chillsner too quickly it can cause your beer to overflow. So take a sip, wait a few seconds and then insert the chillsner.

Question: What did the person purchase?

After reading the somewhat mixed, but mostly positive reviews on this product, I decided to purchase what I thought was a great coffee maker. I wanted a thermal carafe, and when it arrived with glass I assumed I'd made a mistake. The listing in fact does indicate this should be a thermal carafe, but it is NOT! After 3 weeks, the glass carafe is still in good shape and hasn't cracked like so many others have reported, but I'm treating it with extreme care. However, within the last couple of days we noticed stains appearing on the heating plate. We thought it was just coffee residue from dripping coffee. When we went to clean it with a sponge, the non-stick coating began to peel off. In fact, the stain was no stain but rather the exposed metal below the non-stick surface. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never had any coffee maker do this, even after many years of heavy use. I heard great things about Melitta, but now I'm unlikely to buy another; especially when I read that Hamilton Beach is the manufacturer of these units. I've owned Hamilton Beach products before and they are notorious for being cheap and breaking down quickly. Next time I will do more research and not rely on product reviews. The unit is going back!

Question: What method of cleaning cannot be used with this grill?

It is rare that I give 5 star reviews, but this grill is a really fun little gadget. We have been using it regularly for several months and the non-stick surface shows no signs of wear.We have used it to grill foods on the dining room table itself and our guests were wowed. We have the black one and it looks very stylish on the table. It is suitable for casual to semi-formal meals. At a big family breakfast, we set it up next to the stove and used it to cook a whole package of bacon at once (smooth side of grill) and thanks to the smart design, all the grease drains away (into the drain pan below) making it so easy to transition to the eggs and pancakes without dirtying a whole cupboard of frying pans. The large cooking surface heats evenly and accurately. It expands the usable cooking area beyond our stove and has been a big time-saver when cooking for a large number of people.My only gripe (and it is a minor gripe) is that the unit is not dishwasher safe and is a bit tedious to clean. Because grease and food splatters beyond the cooking surface, the whole thing requires cleaning after use. There is a handy scraper tool included to help clean both sides of the grill surface, but additional scrubbing with a brush and sponge is still required. It usually takes about ten minutes to clean and dry the whole thing.All in all, I have loved this grill and would recommend!

Question: Are the humidifiers silent?

I have this and Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier. Both very convenient to use in bedrooms. Crane produces more moisture than Vicks. I'm going to by another one for office. Note that they are not absolutely quiet. But they are much more quieter than our AC system.Update:I have 3 of this units. They are good. But one of them stopped working today. I think it last 1 year. I'm reducing the stars.Update:I found out that it does not work because of the broken thermostat switch. It was torn by scum. I bought a new one from the Internet and replaced it. Now it work like a new.

Question: Even thought the product is labeled as a larger room heater, the reviewer describes it as what?

Unit works well. Controls are simple, easy to set, but a remote control would be a seriously good addition. I'm using it in a large, draughty room, and it's inadequate, in spite of being labelled a "Large Room" heater. I also think the heat would be more efficient if it came out nearer to the floor, instead of on top. And the adjustable air flow louvre will not direct the air flow low enough to blow on the cold, cold floor. I just can't imagine what makes this heater so bloody large. I have other, smaller, less expensive heaters that put out just as much heat. It doesn't take up much floor space. It's just so tall! Overall, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just too expensive, and not warm enough for the size.

Question: How many cups could it make?

First let me say that this product is excellent but I have a problem with the amazon rating system. Sorry amazon, but Cupid didn't appear and shoot his arrow because I don't believe he drinks coffee, so I don't "Love it".I'm somewhat enamored though because this works pretty well with a fine grind. But these aren't as fine meshed as paper, so expect some mud at the bottom of your pot.I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. Sometimes I'd notice the top of the filter was bent over the grounds when I emptied it, leading me to believe that water ran down the side and not over the grounds.I've tried giving this filter sly winks and pet names, however we remain friends and I see no love in our future. Recommended.

Question: What kind of opener is it?

I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener. I thanked that person because this opener is AWESOME! Not only is it the SAFEST opener I've ever used but fast, clean and quieter. It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips so no cleanup required. How I've done without this wonderful opener all these years... tsk tsk... a shame. I'm a very happy customer and I'm confident raving about this fantastic Can Opener!

Question: What do these pads fit?

Others have had size problems, but these fit the Shark XL which has the larger head. They are a little larger than the head and fit loosely. I am hoping that shrink a little after washing. I made them fir tighter by wrapping the Velcro edge around and over the pad and attached it to the pad instead of the other Velcro surface. I only used it once but I believe these pads clean better than the ones that came with the steamer. These have a flatter surface that seems to contact the floor better than the shag-like surface of the original. I plan to buy a few more.

Question: What is the item?

I purchased these boxes to store small items in an Ikea Besta cabinet and it works perfectly for that! The size allows two across plus two stacked on a shelf. With the locking top, you can even cant one sideways and put it at an angle on the same shelf.The parts stored include everything from small hardware (screws, nuts, fasteners) to hand tools to wires and even power transformers for small electronics.It's great to be so organized!

Question: How many did the author purchase?

I ended up purchasing three of these (think 50ish shoes including winter boots, hiking boots, high heels, sandals, flip-flop, tennis shoes...the whole gamut) and I really like them. Generally pretty easy to put together, sometimes the shelves get a bit stuck but you can take off black liner and it will go in then. They are pretty sturdy and it is so nice to not have shoes all over my closet floor any more.

Question: How do you clean the top?

This trash can is what I consider medium sized as I use a 39 gallon metal one a local store painted for my trash - 6 people = 1 black trash bag per day. But for my mother, it is perfect and a white kitchen size trash bag fits perfectly. We installed the D batteries since there was no outlet where she has her trashcan located. It worked like a charm but then again it was brand new. The only drawback that I experienced was that the opening is not as wide/large as the top and is what I consider rather small. This translates into problems when throwing away raw meat packages or leftovers since one will have to be careful not to allow the refuse to come in contact with the sides of the opening. Then again, one could wash/disinfect the top if desired, but who wants to bother with that everyday? Also, for a stainless steel product, it is made with really flimsy and thin metal, not what I would even call stainless steel - it was more like plastic with a stainless steel coating.

The good thing is they are cheap for 2. The bad thing is the coating wears off. I have the 12 inch in storage... too large to use daily. But the 10 inch coating has worn off and is chipping off. I need to throw this away... dangerous to injest this coating. My husband is not wanting me to toss the pan at the end of it's lifespann but I know it is not safe to eat from this now that it is chipping and peeling. What else works other than stainless steel? I want a durable pan that LASTS. I will use it 1-3 times a day. I like the idea of nonstick. Might have to go back to stainless steel.

Question: What coffee machine is this reviewer writing about?

This is NOT the most expensive Keurig but the coffee, hot chocolate, etc. is just as good as the $300.00 brewer. Think about it. They all drip water through the K-Cup within 2 minutes so they all taste the same, not matter how much you paid for the brewer. I will always have my Hamilton Brew Station for my morning coffee but I use my Keurig at all times of the day for either decaf coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino, and my favorites, Cafe Express Mocha and Vanilla coffees. My aunt has the more expensive Keurig and I tried her brewer and it is NO BETTER than this one. I absolutely love my Keurig.

Question: What kinds of ties do I own?

I own dozens of ties. I have neckties and bowties. You name it. I got 'em. So I needed something to at least keep them organized. After trying a few different options, this appears to be the best idea on the market.First of all, it's one big strength is that it holds a lot of ties and takes up very little room. I now have six of these hanging in my closet. The next best option is the twirl a tie plastic doodad that takes up way too much room. So that wasn't even an option for me.It's one big weakness is that it takes a little bit of work to remove a tie from the rack. The hooks all fold in for space saving, but then you have to unfold a few of them just to get to the tie you want. Another weakness is that the hooks are actually too tight to fit a tie underneath them. That's not a huge deal. I just don't slide the ties underneath them.Now some people might find it a bit bulky to actually have to remove the hangers from the close in order to examine the ties that are on them, but that's not too big of a deal for me. Once the hanger is removed, it's pretty easy to see all of the ties, and that is a huge plus.All in all, this is a pretty good value. If you are like me and have a lot of ties, then this is really the only option.

Question: How many times have they purchased this product?

We are extremely picky with our kitchen utensils. Years prior, we received a set of knives we had selected in our wedding registry. At the time, we were naive. Thankfully we later learned not all knives are created equal. I can't say I've ever used a $50 or pricier knife, but I don't know why I would when this one seems to be perfect. It's super-sharp (just ask my fingers ...). It's comfortable to use. Me not being a fan of hand-washing, I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. Highly recommend for those looking for a great knife at a manageable price.

Question: How many pieces is it?

We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this. It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). When you cut pizza on it using a pizza cutter it doesn't hurt the finish at all. We love this thing.We got an All-Clad about the same time (generous present) and like it as well. The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut.If we ever get another stone it will be this one. Great product!

Question: After cooling the meat, what container was used to hold the for use another time?

This looked kind of gimmicky , but the reviews by the other customers moved me to try it. One of the reviews aid they used plastic wrap. I had some waxed burger paper sheets, so I thought I'd try them. I put the paper in the bottom, and added the hamburg, Then I pressed the meat, and after removing the rolled meat just rolled the paper around the rest of the meat, and put them in the freezer on a tray. When they were frozen I then put them in a freezer bag, for later use. Try it, it's a nifty little item, and it does a great job.

Question: What gets sealed inside the product?

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 brand of blender did they buy?

Lord knows how much money I've thrown away over the years on "multi-speed" stylishly designed blenders, some of which couldn't cut through yogurt. This Oster is amazing! Overcoming my apprehension about it not "fitting in" with my otherwise modern-looking kitchen appliances, I relied on the previous comments and just did it. News Flash! It's now safe to put ice cubes into your home blender. The Oster chews them up in seconds, and doesn't sound like it's about to implode as it does it. I'd call this a professional grade blender at a consumer price. I chose a white one, and it not only performs splendidly, but looks great as it exudes an aura of authority on my counter top. The powerful motor is a giant among the myriad of wimpy 16-18 speed (all weak) blenders. I think this Oster would grind up a bowling ball if you could get it into the jar.

Question: What does the product have that allows it to easily move?

I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor. It is fairly well made, the spot welds on the end sections seem to be firm enough. The wheels are good and sturdy as well. I can move it easily from one area to another as I need to and the light-weight canvas bags are washable so that is also a plus. I am well pleased with this at this time.

Question: What do you use to keep it working and keep the air fresh?

I got a model very similar for about 10 bucks on clearence, and plugged it in, not expecting much. I placed it in the finished portion of my basement near the catbox. After 1 day, I noticed the air was a little fresher, crisper. It took that ammonia smell directly above the box away. After about a week, the whole basement was a little clearer. I noticed the difference the most after I unplugged it vacuuming one day and didn't plug it back in. The next morning the odor was creeping back. This is a relatively affordable item, does descent job for a small space. I have now had this for about 2 1/2 years, still working good with refills.

Question: Who makes this toaster?

I have the CPT-180 four-slice toaster. As was the experience with several other reviewers, the two center slices toast very unevenly--no matter what the setting or the kind of bread. (And, yes, I have read the owner's manual from cover to cover.) I returned my previous CPT-180 to Cuisinart because of uneven toasting; the customer service was quick and very courteous. I was impressed. Alas! I am not at all impressed with the performance of the replacement. It has the exact same problems as the one I returned. I think there must be a design flaw. From Cuisinart? Sad.

Question: Where does the product leak water?

I had the model just below this one (which also cost in the range of $400). Upon the first few uses, the machine constantly leaked water into the tray, AND, even more scary, is the fact that the machine turned ITSELF ON even when the power switch was OFF! How can this be?? Very Scary if you're not home! It began pumping and leaking water into the tray until it completely emptied. I called and complained, and they were good at replacing that model with this one at no charge.As for this model, I am not thrilled. It still leaks water into the tray for no reason, and the milk frothing isn't consistent. I was so proud that I made a perfect cappuccino with the perfect foamed milk a few times. Now I cannot get the same results (must be the pressure). I do not trust that this machine is going to work for much longer, AND you can bet that I UNPLUG this machine after each use based on my previous experience. Can't take that chance again!(update) OK, I was right!!! Now THIS model has also STOPPED WORKING after about a year! It will not turn on anymore. Breville said that they cannot do anything about it and that I'll have to get it repaired on my own. What a piece of $&!T This is a pricey machine that is a waste of money! I just realized what the name Breville stands for (brevity that'll make you ill). HA - Don't waste your money, seriously.

Question: does the Timolino hold in coffee well?

This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. Though coffee will stay hot in it for hours, acting as a small carafe, you cannot succesfully mobilize it - for the lid drips out coffee. The lid is not deep,even slanted - so coffee easily spews out of it. If they changed the lid, to put a closure which at least snaps into place, it would be useful as a mobile coffee tumbler. The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. Ironically, if it tumbles, coffee spills out and ruins anything nearby. The price is too high for what it really does, since you have to leave it in the office or at home.

Question: What else is thin?

I've brewed a number of cups with this press and thus far, I have nothing but complimentary words for it. I only have a blade grinder, so my ground aren't uniformly course...I have quite a few "fine" grind powder in my brew, but the press seems to filter most of this powder from my final pour. I think for the cost of this little press, I would be hard "pressed" to ask for more.The carafe and plunger are not the most hearty of materials. The glass is a little on the thin side, but then, so is my drip maker carafe. The plunger seems to work fine, but we'll have to see how it holds up under long term usage. All in all, I am greatly pleased. I think if there is anything I would add or like more than what this press offers is a larger capacity.

I think for the cost of this little press, I would be hard "pressed" to ask for more. The carafe and plunger are not the most hearty of materials. <hl> The glass is a little on the thin side, but then, so is my drip maker carafe. The plunger seems to work fine, but we'll have to see how it holds up under long term usage. <hl> All in all, I am greatly pleased. I think if there is anything I would add or like more than what this press offers is a larger capacity.

Question: Does the tool lose its edge easily?

I do not use the julienne tool but the peeler alone is worth the money. It is the best peeler I have ever used. It is very slightly serrated and has never gotten dull. If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. You can get into a fast rhythm instead of the peeler sliding off the veggie/fruit every couple of strokes with a flat-bladed peeler.

Question: What do they make with the processor?

This is the perfect processor if you're like me and only occasionally need to bring it out. It may not be able to turn your kale into perfectly smooth kale cream, but it is quick and efficient for soups and other mixes you may sometimes need to process. I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie, because it works better than my blender. Great for its price point, highly recommended.

Question: What does this product do?

I tried these years ago and they work just great. You do have to be a little cautious when buying some of the off brands, but I have had no problem with these. 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: How long does it take to cool down?

This little cooker is awesome. Although it's not real big, it works great! I hand wash it due to the aluminum bottom so it doesn't discolor. It says you can put the base, lid, etc. in the dishwasher, but I want the handles, etc. to stay nice. Lentils came out great--much better than on the stove--and to do the veggies for a marinara sauce, was so easy. As for cleaning the inside, Bar Keepers Friend is the best, I think, as it doesn't scratch the SS, but gets it super clean and shiny. Oh, forgot to mention how great a whole chicken came out! I mixed some seasonings and then coated it inside & out, & cooked the 5 lb. bird for 30 min. or so! Yummy!! Next is corned beef & veggies...Wish I'd gotten this unit a long time ago. One last note: of the things I've made, it usually takes 10-15 mins. to reach pressure, then the cooking time, and then 10- 20 mins. to cool down on its own. Obviously, if you put it under cold water, it's faster, but most recipes say to let it cool down on its own.

Question: How many years had the reviewer used the CorningWare pot and lid for?

You can't tell from the picture, but this item looks quite elegant, as if it were made of fairly high quality porcelin, but it's made of CorningWare which along with Pyrex always gets top marks from me.I have one CorningWare pot and lid that I've put to 20 years of heavy use, and it shows no signs of its significant age. I imagine this cassarol dish might join it in our collection of "keep it 'til we're dead" items. Certainly the material is lighter and thinner, but I don't imagine it's any less durable than our other CorningWare item.This item arrived at our house midday, and that evening I came home to cassarol. Since my wife is really picky, that makes this item a winner.No question on the fully earned five stars rating.

Question: What is the one dislike stated for this vacuum?

I love this vacuum for many reasons. I am used to using a Miele vacuum cleaner, which has a ver strong suction. This is the first vacuum cleaner that has even come close. This vacuum has many features that I really like as well. It has the retractable cord, the washable filter, the bag-less cup, the light and the brushes. The only thing that I dislike about this vacuum, is the fact that it is much heavier then my Miele. That's why I keep this vacuum on the second floor of my house. That way I don't have to drag my other vacuum cleaner up and down the stairs. This one is mainly for the second floor only, which is fully carpeted, and this machine does a great job. I would definitely recommend this vacuum cleaner.

Question: What size area is this air cleaner for?

This small air cleaner is best for very small areas. It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes. It can also be mounted on a wall if you don't have a place for it to sit. Replacement filters are relatively expensive at $42.00. It's fairly quiet on low and has strong airflow. I think it's a too noisy and too small for the average bedroom. Permanent filter doesn't really mean permanent however. Permanent filters do become clogged over time and simply must be replaced. It's a decent little unit for very small areas.......recommended!!!!

Question: What temperature does the user heat coffees and teas up to?

I use different temps for different coffees and teas. The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. I have resisted the impulse to use the spout as a second handle. It would seem a bad idea, but it's very tempting. The handle is well designed with a nice little projection on the inside to keep it from slipping through one's hand as the pot is tilted. A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users.

Question: What did the person buy another infuser for?

After years of trying different typical metal infusers that didn't work that well for some of my herbs, I decided to give this one a shot. Oh, I am soooo glad I did! I've fallen head-over-heels in love with this infuser. No longer do I get "floaties" in my herbal teas, even when the herbs are very fine. I use rubbed sage, and in every infuser I tried before this one, the sage came through the holes. Not on this! I also have a very finely ground gourmet tea which would also go right through the typical screen (round). It doesn't go through this!The basket is large enough that I can make a whole teapot of tea, and I do. I bought a second one to use with my coffee. We use a very finely ground mail order coffee, and we don't really like making a whole pot because some of the coffee goes stale and gets that "burnt" taste and it seems a waste of good coffee. With this I can make a large mug and not waste a drop of coffee or even a tiny bit of grounds. It sure makes the expensive coffee go a lot farther. I would highly recommend this infuser to everyone!

Question: How many cups does the smallest of two round bowls hold?

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.

Question: What sort of upholstery warrants extra caution when using this vacuum?

This vacuum has got to have the strongest suction of any cleaner ever made. PLEASE keep household birds and small animals locked up when you're using it! This is a two-way sword, however, because when vacuuming HEAVY WOOL AREA RUGS it tries to suck up the rug and makes the most frightening squeal! It needs to have an "area rug" adjustment. Or, like other vacuums, several height adjustments. I am not talking about those bathroom rugs, either. Those would disappear into the chamber.With our Berber, it's glued down so it is fine on it. And it does well on bare floors, too, although large leaves don't do well. Look out for twist ties, also (hate to think the sound Those would make). I would be nervous using it on large shag rugs, too. You feel like you need a tranquilizer before you use it in case it tries to suck up your oriental rug.The wand that lifts up that you put attachments on is too stiff to come out easily like it did on our Fantom (which also had height adjustments).And I haven't figured out how to put it back in yet. I think I figured out the reason it vacuums up rugs: it doesn't have a BEATER BAR. You know those big, heavy cylinders that many uprights have? This instead has a1/4" thin plastic thing with brushes on it that spins. So there is a lot of SPACE around this beater "thingy" leaving certain items at risk of being sucked up. (like rugs) This spinning thing? I wonder how long it'll last? I wonder if they WANT it to last?To empty out the dirt, (this is when that big canister is HALF full) you struggle with it to get the bottom to open then the dirt falls down into the trash can. There is no big HANDLE that says, "PULL TO OPEN AND DUMP."Something else quite original: on other vacuums, there is a little footpedal on the base on the right hand side you push down to get going. This does not have one of those. You have to push this long, slippery bar that goes across the front of the thing to let the handle down. Odd.Bottom line: Mr Dyson is right: it doesn't lose suction. You could probably use several to pull the Space Station back to earth.
