Question: What was the difference in price?

These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.

Question: Can you easily grip the item?

first off, no heat transference at all, not even a little. However, they are very stiff which makes it hard to get a good grip on things you are pulling out of the oven. That is a pretty big deal, but you can achieve better functionality if you really cram your hands into them. I have not been brave enough to test the whole grab a cob of corn straight out of the pot of boiling water or any of those 600 degree limit testing things OXO touts, but all in all I am happy with the purchase. Not gods gift to oven mits but probably just as good as the kitchenaid ones I had before. Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool.

Question: What material are the rings made out of?

These rings are just what I wanted as they help the English muffin dough to rise rather than spread out, giving them the desired thickness I was trying to achieve. The description says they are 3-3/4 inch diameter, which is correct when the outside of the ring is measured. However, the inside measurement is just slightly over 3-1/2 inches, so you'll get 3-1/2 inch muffins. The rings are sturdier than I had anticipated (based on some of the reviews saying they are flimsy). The metal is thicker than cookie cutters for sure. One star removed because the connecting joint on all of the rings is not smooth and will catch on your sponge or cloth when hand washing them. Other than that, I love 'em. My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these!

Question: What is good about the vacuum?

We have 5 long haired dogs and a completely carpeted lower floor. This vacuum has no option to stop the brush from spinning for doing hard floors, it's really only for carpet. The suction is pretty good, it got up a lot of hair, but the suction of the hose is terrible.The directions for putting it together are just horrible, we had to look at the picture on the box and figure it out ourselves.We have a Bissell Lift Off which I don't like the handle of, it's like a stick. This vacuum has a very nice handle.That said, this vacuum whines. It's a constant low whine. I could stand it but it's constant and the lower floor is big. We have had similar whines on older machines but this one is brand new. Also, the manual is not for this model. It's for another model of this machine.

Question: how many pieces are in the set the writer bought?

Was trying to justify spending a lot of money for a set of All Clad cookware. I am a Cooks Illustrated follower. All Clad is consistently rated tops. I still could not bring myself to spend that kind of money. I am a intermediate level cook. I am so glad I read their reviews on the Calphalon set. I purchased the 13 piece set and was wowed! The set is beautiful and does cook like a dream. I am so glad read the reviews. When cooking with these pots and pans, it is crucial to preheat them on medium heat. I use a light coating of oil, not Pam. I have cooked eggs, over easy, and no problems with sticking. Cleaning them is a breeze as well. I use a little Bar Keepers Friend and they shine right up. The cookware seems to heat evenly thanks to the tri ply construction. I am totally thrilled with my purchase and am so happy to have saved well over $1200 by going with the Calphalon.

Question: Which aspect of the product has the user not tried, yet?

Bought this one after our 15bar died (see a previous review on how long that friend lasted...9 years). My husband decided on this one and it works great. LOTS of creama from each espresso shot. Not sure why another reviewer is having problems, but we aren't at all(maybe they should use good quality espresso). We use Lavazza espresso and warm the unit up for about 10 minutes before doing the shots. We did buy a few 4oz shot glasses to do double shots, that way you can get all the creama in one cup. Some people complain that the "ready" light doesn't stay on long, that's true but I just keep it going for the rest of the double shot and it's still hot and produces excellent espresso.Haven't used the steamer. But we didn't use it on the other one. I prefer to just heat my milk up and use it that way.Pros: Great espresso, nice looking, economicalCons: Does make a little rattling noise (water tank) but that's easily quieted. (push it up against the wall and the noise is considerably less).

Answer: steamer

Question: What is the brand of the skillet?

This thing is great! I've only had it a couple weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, although all the other Presto products I have keep doing what they're supposed to without any breakdowns so I'd guess this one's no exception.Since I got this in the mail, I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! There's so much you can do with it. Another advantage is that it's allot more energy efficient than using a range top. All the energy is directed to one purpose, and not heating up your kitchen instead.And NOTHING sticks to the surface! The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. They have a fairly high sugar content and will stick to virtually anything while cooking over an hour, creating a several hour soak to clean. Groats do this also. Anyway this skillet did the job. I just flipped the skillet over and out came the grits! I didn't even have to pry them out! I'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people. Great stuff!

Question: Which side of the kitchen towel does the author not like?

First of all, it is only printed on one side - the other side is white. Because of this, it looks cheap. You have to keep it folded a certain way or the white side will ruin the look. Not only that, it feels cheap and doesn't feel like quality kitchen towels you might get anywhere other than Walmart. It's also not absorbent! I mean really? What use is a kitchen towel that doesn't absorb? I thought microfiber is supposed to be absorbent. This doesn't feel like microfiber. It feels like cheap polyester. For the price, I expected better. The only this has going for it is that the print is cute, the print that's only on one side that is...

Question: What were the old spoons like?

Trying to get through baking with a single set of measuring spoons had become a pain in the neck. If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using. I decided I needed a second set of measuring spoons -- right up until these spoons arrived. Now I don't use my original set because these offer a "dry" and a "wet" spoon for each measurement. Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish.The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil.

Question: Where did this person get the same thing?

I'm in major organization-mode for my house right now and my cabinets where the first to receive attention. It isn't that this is a poor product in any way, it's the price. I feel ridiculous I didn't do this before, but after this came, we went to Walmart and I got the same thing, plus a small one, plus a medium one- all together for less than this price.

Question: How well does the thermometer do the job, according to the reviewer?

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 writer figuring out by trial and error?

We got this rice cooker several months ago and we have been very happy with this cooker so far. We cooked white rice, brown rice, millets and it cooks everything perfectly. You just have to figure out how much water to add by trial and error because some rice varieties need more water and some less. We bought RIVAL (I think that is what it was) rice cookers from target before that and that is simply junk. It was cheap but the cooker was cheap too. Conked out within couple of weeks. We got a replacement from target but that one died too within a couple of weeks again. We did not want any more replacements, and Target would not give us credit, only replacement for the same product which is nothing but junk. So we threw it away. But this Sanyo cooker seems to be a very good product.

Question: What makes the Wearever cookware set a good value?

This is outstanding cookware and the price makes it a really good value. What I like about the Wearever set is the bright color and the white inside makes it easy to tell the 'doneness' of the food being cooked. The see-through lid and the vent ports are a real plus. Sets level and cooks evenly. That's important to me. It's easy to clean and although it is dishwasher safe, I prefer to wash by hand. This nice cookware should last a lifetime. It's engineered in USA. Does this mean that it is made in USA? It's a perfect set for me since I live alone so the three pans are perfect. What I'll add is a one quart pan then I'll a beautiful set of nice cookware. Highly recommended!

Question: Who will I purchase these for?

My son LOVES these. I'm sure I'm breaking some rules of Motherhood somewhere, but he's three and Iet him use them. Thus far, he hasn't severed a finger off or anything. They ACTUALLY work, but without my worry about him bleeding profusely if I turn my back for a moment. I would still always use them supervised - especially with multiple kids around. Great product. BPA free. High quality. I'll be purchasing these for friends and their children. Great way to get the little ones involved in food prep! My son is MUCH more likely to eat the food if he helped prep it!

We got two of these to hold out freshly baked bread. these are the perfect item and comes with a little cutting board.The vent is especially handy when the bread is out of the bread machine, as even after cooling on a rack, the bread keeper need to vent out the moisture and heat.The only "down" side that I noticed is that after several washings in the top rack of the diswasher, the plastic gets a "foggy" look to it, but that is not a big deal.I do wish they would come out with ones that have a color tint to the plastic.still, a very handy item to have.

Answer: after several washings in the top rack of the diswasher, the plastic gets a "foggy&#34

Question: What is warm around the appliance?

This works--will reduce humidity down to 45% which is the lowest I have tried to go with it. It is easy to use. Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it. It is easy to turn on, easy to set the desired humidity level. I've been using it off and on only for about four weeks so I can't speak for its durability. It looks like the picture, not unattractive. I find it a bit noisy--worse than my air conditioner but you get used to the sound. It does warm the air around it, so I've avoided using it on hot days. It is heavy--therefore a battle to get out of the package. But it rolls from room to room easily. If there are any problems with it as I use over a longer period of time, I'll add a post to my review.

Question: How does the author describe the pan?

The pan is nice and sturdy, I wish the sides were just a bit taller, but it still worked for my recipe. The coating is not sprayed as with other pans, so it is a bit thicker in places. Unfortunately, in one of the places it was so think, that a spike formed, and I cut my fingers on it while washing the pan. It was on the outside of the pan, near the rim. My husband filed it down, and it is now nice and smooth. The surface is smooth and although I needed to run a spatula around the cake to remove it, it was really easy to wash after that, see - I didn't even use a cloth to wash it, and my cut fingers are the proof for that.

Question: What brand of skillets does the author use on a daily basis?

I have Curculon skillets that I use on a daily basis so I was thrilled to receive this. This is a great set for anyone who is starting out or if you need to replace your old worn out ovenware.Pros-Very heavy and sturdyInexpensive when compared to sets of this quality.Glass tops ensure you can see if your water is boiling. Many sets come with solid covers and you cant see what is going on in the pan.You can go from stove to oven with each of these pots and pans.It really is non stick. I made scrambled eggs and they did NOT stick. I used nothing in the bottom of the pan.Cons-The handles can get very hot, but this is true with most pots and pans.I have a large family and the skillets are too small for us, I would recommend this for a family of 2 or 3 .Overall a great product at a fantastic price. Great shower gift, housewarming etc.

Question: How long could the product be returned as part of the guarantee?

Leaked after a few weeks... the worst part is, PUR said it's not covered under warranty because it's a "wear and tear" item. It sits on the counter, I have no idea what wear and tear that causes on the internal gasket. They kept me going in circles and after the 30 day satisfaction guarantee expired, they then told me I could have returned it within the first 30 days but now it's too late. For a product based on the razor/razor-blade business model (I'm sure the real money for them is made from the filters, not the pitchers), this is a horrible way for them to deal with the situation. Oh, and I had another one crack by itself due to temperature differences (it was in the fridge). When it works, the water is great, but it needs to stay contained in the container.

Question: What is the capacity of the dutch oven I acquired?

I cook every night for a family of 5. I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron. I ordered this skillet thinking the bigger size would be good to cook for my large family and I was right, but when I say it's big I mean it's MASSIVE (and heavy!). I wiped it down with some flax seed oil and put it into my heated oven and it fit with very little wiggle room. It certainly will not fit in my cabinets so it will have to live on my stove-top which is just fine by me.A lot of reviewers have complained about the "rough" finish on the inside of the skillet. To me, it doesn't seem that rough. There is a definite texture to it but nothing that will totally destroy the integrity of your food, in my opinion. Don't let a little texture steer you away from buying this bargain-priced skillet - you can always season, season, season to get that smooth patina cast iron is renowned for.One thing to note is that the product picture indicates that there are two pour spouts between each handle. My skillet does not have the pour spouts. That's slightly disappointing but this skillet is so heavy that I doubt I will be able to gracefully pour anything out of this thing, pour spouts or not. Amazon should update its picture of the product.All in all, I am thrilled with my beast of a skillet. The size is great for my large family but if you aren't cooking for a bunch of people I think this skillet may be overkill for you. Try a 12-in or even a 10.5 in. skillet.Edit: I just received the 12-in rooster pan as a gift and I am thrilled! The rooster design adds a homey touch to our otherwise contemporary kitchen. I use the 15 inch skillet every day but it takes up so much room on my stovetop that it is difficult to cook two things at a time. Now I can easily use my 12 inch and 10.5 inch skillets on the stovetop while the big boy 15 incher is baking in the oven. I cannot get enough of cast iron!

Question: What did the reviewer do with the jar?

Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered. The others were a fairly uniform yellow Dijon mustard color, as in the photos, but this piece, also described as gold, was more of a slightly orangey gold color, like the old appliance color known as harvest gold. Otherwise it is lovely and of a generous size. I am disappointed that I have had to return it. It would be great if the manufacturer offered a set including the canisters and tool jar, to ensure that everything matched.

Question: What do the buns sit on?

The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out. I really like the bun warmer and it has been handy a few times already. Basically the buns just sit on pop up rods over the toaster and the heat from the toaster warms them up. The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly. I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges. This toaster is really big, but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it.

Question: Can you change the angle?

I was expecting high about this heater.But I did not like few things about this unit. The light is too bright. If we put it at front side of visibility, it distract reading. The cord comes with certain length (~4 feet I think), which made it difficult to place it somewhere where it can give heat from behind. Size is little bigger, so you cannot just place it anywhere. This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space (potential fire hazard). Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor.

Question: What happened when the user first dropped the set?

This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. It's a solid, well-constructed set that seems like it will hold up for a long time.*update* Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack. This is a floor that things usually shatter in million pieces on too (we've had that happen with glasses and a pitcher). That shows how solid these are.*2nd update* I was just carrying items out of the room and the pepper shaker slipped and flew out of my hand and landed under a chair (no carpet, hard floor) and I said to myself that's going to be a mess...went to look and it was all in one piece, not even a crack! I just bumped these up to a 5 star, they've earned it.

Question: What is this product mostly use for prior to grilling?

Been using this product for 6-weeks. Works great, single hand operation is nice. Would recommend using rechargeable batteries or you'll be buying six AAAs every month. I use this primarily for seasoning meats before going on the grill.

Question: What is at the top of the shower caddy designed for hanging?

Plastic so not rust. Never owned a plastic shower caddy until this one and I prefer it over the others. Although it's narrow opening at the top is meant to hang on the shower head pipe I hang it over the shower handle so it is not visible outside of the shower when shower door is closed. The suctions cups are ineffective on my tile but I never have use for the suction cups anyway. I did not need to drill holes even though there is not existing drainage holes. The shelves on the caddy are have a very slight slant and dry out without any problems.

Question: What kind of bottom does the product have?

This paper towel holder is perfect and works exactly how you've always wanted your paper towel holders to work. The spring loaded arm provides just enough tension to allow you to rip off a sheet with one hand while not providing so much force that it is tough for the roll to rotate. The weighted bottom also helps -- no more tipping over the paper towel holder while trying to rip off a sheet. The height of the holder is also shorter than other holders I've used, allowing it to easily fit underneath my upper cabinets.

Question: How much did I pay for the pan?

I used this pan for the first time yesterday after watching it for months on Amazon. I made an orange chiffon cake and it released beautifully (I did use some cooking spray) and looked very professional. Makes a great presentation with very little extra effort. I did wash by hand as I would like to preserve the finish on this pan for as long as possible; the crevices didn't pose too big of a problem (not like, say, washing the Nordic Ware garland mini bundt pan by hand). It has a nice heavy feel to it (as their Platinum Collection products tend to)and I would say I'm very satisfied. I ended up getting it when the price dropped to twenty-five dollars, but the day after I had ordered it the price went down to twenty-three dollars. Amazon apparently does not do price adjustments anymore, so I couldn't get that difference in price back, but just be aware that it has gone that low in price and if you are patient and don't need the pan in a hurry it will likely go down in price again. Free shipping was great.

Answer: twenty-five dollars

I used this pan for the first time yesterday after watching it for months on Amazon. I made an orange chiffon cake and it released beautifully (I did use some cooking spray) and looked very professional. Makes a great presentation with very little extra effort. I did wash by hand as I would like to preserve the finish on this pan for as long as possible; the crevices didn't pose too big of a problem (not like, say, washing the Nordic Ware garland mini bundt pan by hand). It has a nice heavy feel to it (as their Platinum Collection products tend to)and I would say I'm very satisfied. <hl> I ended up getting it when the price dropped to twenty-five dollars , but the day after I had ordered it the price went down to twenty-three dollars. <hl> Amazon apparently does not do price adjustments anymore, so I couldn't get that difference in price back, but just be aware that it has gone that low in price and if you are patient and don't need the pan in a hurry it will likely go down in price again.

Question: What is this good for?

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.

I am delighted with this steam mop-It does a great job of swabbing my tile bathroom and linoleum kitchen floors-It makes copious amounts of steam...fast-It is easy to maneuver-It is easy to use-The pads are easy to take on and off-The built in, convertible hand steamer is an added plus.And, unlike my oldBISSELL Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1, this Steamfast model doesn't require a water filter in order to work! What a nuisance that is, having to shop for, purchase, and install that filter once a month.

Question: How many pieces were in the set?

One of my very favorite kitchen utensils is a good silicone spatula. This is one of those tools I can never have enough of. I recently received a complementary set of the 3-Piece Spatula Set -Made out of ONE PIECE silicone for review and absolutely love it.My mother loves what she calls a ‘spoon-ula’. I haven’t had one of these before, but there was one included in this set. It is almost exactly like the silicone spatula I am used to, except it has a shallow indention that is very handy with some dishes. Both the spoon-spatula and the plain spatula are 10”x2”. There is also a smaller spatula that is only 8”x1”.The larger spatulas are perfect for most kitchen tasks. The silicone holds up when stirring hot dishes on the stove and the straight-edge ends do an excellent job of scraping the bottom of a pot. The same spatulas work equally well stirring cold dishes in a mixing bowl. The smaller spatula is wonderful for scraping ingredients out of small containers like canned foods or sour cream.The beauty of these spatulas being one piece is that there are no crevices for food to get trapped in, promoting food poisoning or cross-contamination. Also, one solid piece means less chance of it breaking.These tools can be easily washed by hand, but are fine in the dishwasher as well.I would recommend this spatula set to anyone who cooks.

Question: What does a Contractor's bag cost?

Space bags are cheaply made, if your not careful you'll rip the seams out of them, but even if you are careful the bag will not keep air out for very long. Air like water is nearly impossible to keep out of anything that it surrounds so if your looking for "space saving" get a box of Contractor's Heavy Duty Trash Bags and fold your items placing them into the bag, gather the bag around the vacuum cleaner hose, when the air is removed tie a knot in the bag. Like the Space Bag the air will leak back into the Contractor's bag but the knot and the seams will hold, you've gained space and it cost you about a quarter.

Question: What do they show off in the house?

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!

Question: What seemed to get wrapped around everything?

First if you are looking for a vac with the most suck, this is not the one. Hey, get a shop vac from Sears. I've had one 35 years and it still out sucks them all.Having said that, this Cordless from Hoover is Great! I've had a lot of vacs. I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around.Of all the vacs that I have had since they all have one thing in common. Just as I need to go another five feet I run out of cord. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I'm sick and tired of running out of cord. I tried adding a 50' extension cord but it seemed to get wrapped around everything. A royal pain in the aspen. But in comes the Hoover stick. It has good pickup, I finish before the battery dies and then just stand it up in the colset. It's great, easy to use and I actually vac more often. I can't give a carpet rating as I only have hardwood floors but it sure does the job for me and I have two 65 lb boxers that are always on the wrong side of the door. LOL

Question: What is the temperature usually like?

We have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater.The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. We were looking for an alternative which would still keep our play room nice and toasty warm. Since I already had one smaller Lasko heater and was thrilled with it, we decided to get this one on sale and give it a try.So far it has kept our large basement at 70 degrees and has not run that much even though it is really cold up here in NE PA.Now if the electric bills are less than last year that will be the icing on the cake. And I am pretty sure they will be, considering our baseboard is an inefficient killowat sucking machine. ;)Update 1/21/10The heater is still working well and has kept my basement at 70 degrees all through the cold, cold winter. We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009. (we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill.One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. If you are away for the weekend and get a power spike you should expect whatever area was dependant on the heater will be quite cold.

Question: What is the lever?

it looks nice on my counter but a couple of notes here: first of all the lever to make toast is a little fussy, must make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and catches. I think a little inferior workmanship. Secondly, contrary to previous poster, we need to set it at five to get toasted browned bread. The four setting he spoke of only toasts the top of the crust, not the whole slice. Havent tried it on bagels yet, so perhaps that setting will be better for thicker, ie: closer to the element cooking. But , for the money, it's an ok toaster but i suspect that it may not last forever like toasters of the past! Everything is so "throw away" anymore.

Question: They don't know how the filters work, why is that?

There are a few cautions, based on using it extensively once and less extensively a second time. It could be heavy for a woman, especially a small woman, to handle. The intake is smooth plastic, but I suspect it could scar some furniture, or at least leave minor tracks on the surface; it did not on my furniture, but the manufacturer should buffer the end with a brush or felt. There is a brush that can rotate into place, but I found it not very effective in helping collect dust. On the plus side, I used it for at least an hour the first time without having any loss of power from the battery. It has very good suction, and the position of the intake can be rotated to several angles and then folded under for storage or battery charging. I can't say how the filters work, because I've not had to replace one thus far. Bottom line, the Black & Decker Pivot Vac is probably better for the shop than the home. I don't have a shop, and it works pretty well for the home getting into places that, in my case, have collected dust for a long time.

Question: What did they want?

Shun knife's are unbelievably sharp and well made. I started my knife collection with Global, not bad but nothing like Shun. When I was in Sydney, I found a knife ship at the fish market that had a great selection and was introduced to Shun. I've wanted a Santoku and was going to go Global to go with the collection but when I was told about Shun (did some research on the web at my hotel that night), I went back the next day and purchased this knife. It's very, very sharp, keeps an edge much longer than my Global's ever did. If you're looking for the ultimate knife, this is it. Since then, I've picked up a Shun pairing knife which I love as well.

Question: What size mattress was the author looking for?

I was looking for a very firm twin xl mattress. I'm a huge guy and need a very firm mattress to support my body weigh. The mattress arrived on time, unpacked it and let it expand for a day and a half, and then slept on it that night. It fits my needs without any problems. My whole body can relax once again, yet feel supported. I no longer wake up in the morning with my back hurting, as well as other aches and pains elsewhere from the old mattress.Only time will tell how long this mattress holds up. But hopefully it will last a few years. I will update my review as time goes on, but for now, I'm enjoying it.

I no longer wake up in the morning with my back hurting, as well as other aches and pains elsewhere from the old mattress.Only time will tell how long this mattress holds up. But hopefully it will last a few years. I will update my review as time goes on, but for now, I'm enjoying it.
