Question: Where are the pictures of the flowers and butterflies on the dishes?

I have other Butterfly Meadow items (bowls of different sizes), and they seem to be thinner, more delicate and more elegant than this dish. I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful -- but it is not as dainty as the bowls, and it's a disappointment.The other complaint I have is the same as I have with Butterfly Meadow plates (which is why I'm not buying them) -- the pretty pictures of flowers and butterflies are in the middle (in the bottom) so they get covered by food. It makes no sense. The designer wasn't thinking straight. For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table).

Question: What it the problem with this space?

I purchased the santoku 6" and it's awesome (although it chips very soon). This paring knife its so good because its handle; I feel it more ergonomic than my previous one. THE BLADE IS PERFECT, it's razor sharp and well, you know , it is kyocera.BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade. I dont like it. I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe.I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective.I won't buy the fancy knives again.

Question: How does the product's color compare to what the person expected?

The color is a little darker than I was looking for and it's thinner than I thought it would be. My kitties have clawed it a few times and it looks a little worn. However if you don't have pets who jump up on the table and want a basic tablecloth you can wipe clean this will work.

Question: What has held up well so far?

I love having a few of these around to hang over bedroom and bathroom doors for extra organizing space. This is a very nicely made item, with a clean-looking metal finish. The hanging bars are thin enough that doors can close with these attached.I use these to hang coats, diaper bags/purses, umbrellas and, in the bathroom, robes and towels. Everything has held up well so far. In short, this is very convenient and useful - I imagine it would also be perfect for dorm rooms or small apartments where storage is at a premium.

Answer: Everything

Question: How much does a gallon of water cost?

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

Question: What did they put on the bottom of the toaster?

Great toaster, makes bagels just like the bagel shops (crisp on the inside and soft on the outside-assuming you cut the bagel in half of course). Easy to make toast, however, it can only do two large pieces of bread at once, one on each rack. I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop. Easy to clean crumb catcher - just empty it a lot since it is a simple small pull out tray. DON'T try to take out the racks to put in the dishwasher like the pamphlet says is possible - or your toaster is toasted. We like ours a lot and it is well constructed and doors and racks glide in and out effortlessly. I may buy a couple more for my daughters to use too.

Question: What does the item more resemble?

This item arrived labeled as a "mixing spoon", and has little to no depth. The spoon part is actually closer to a spatula. I wish I had known this when I ordered it-- it appears the current description is lacking some info. The product serves its purpose for heat resistence and helping to protect the non-stick surface when cooking (so far), but it really doesn't hold anything. Please keep this in mind when purchasing. I don't know how the stainless steel handle will hold up over time (the description shows 18/10, but the actual product doesn't say). Unfortunately, I already used it, so I won't try to return. Let's just say it's good to have a different colored utensil at times, but I won't be purchasing any more of these.

Question: When was the Potato Ricer received?

We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun! This is one of those items that any cook really can do without, but why not give it a try anyway! The sucker is huge, but we managed to prepare some fine eats, and it really was not that difficult to use. The ricer has long metal handles and a good-sized black plastic food-safe hopper that holds a lot of food, and the built-in pot rest worked perfectly on the side of the pan. The packaging was easy to open, which is always a good thing, and inside there was a small piece of paper (2 1/2 x 2 1/2") with instructions for use, and for cleaning. On the packaging itself was pictures of the three settings and explanations, very simple. My wife has had absolutely no problem changing the settings, removing the outer disk for cleaning (only handwashed the unit, so far), and overall she is pleased with it's performance. She had never made spaetzle before and was happy with the results,... and by the way, the fluffy mashed potatoes were incredible!P.S.: I made the egg salad...delish!

Question: How long has the buyer had their new one now?

I purchased this mattress mostly based on prior experience. I had purchased a memory foam mattress from Amazon about 4 years ago and it was perfect - and comfortable. I thought I was buying the same item based on price and description. I bought this mattress about 6 months ago when I moved. It's not the same mattress! As others noted it never expanded to the full 10 inches (mine went to about 9 - which is OK) but the lower corners (especially 2) of the lower-firm-foam didn't fill out much - the corners are only about 4 or 5 inches thick. This does not affect sleeping comfort and actually makes it easier to put the fitted sheets on. At $300 vs. $1200+ for local priced twin memory foam I suppose one can't complaint too much - but I would not have accepted such a defect if I didn't have to send it back - and that's not easy from Alaska. After sleeping on the mattress for 6 months it is very comfortable and still no "dips" in my usual sleeping position - but those corners still bother me every time I change the sheets! Considering the price I would still buy my next memory foam mattress from Amazon but would not buy this brand.

Question: How was the scale rated?

When my wife and I got more serious about getting healthy, we knew we had to throw out our inaccurate and difficult-to-read scale. I looked on Amazon and found that EatSmart scales had awesome ratings. After comparing the features, I felt the Precision Premium fit our needs.Setting it up and calibrating was simple - put the batteries in and set it on a hard surface. Batteries are included, by the way.Using it is super easy - step on the scale. That's it. In just a second, you'll have your weight. And it's really easy to read.One of the bonus features of this scale is that it looks good. So many scales just look awful in your bathroom. This one looks pretty stylish. And it has a really low profile.Definitely made the right decision with this scale.

Question: How does the reviewer rate the quality?

Like another reviewer has already said, what do you expect when the description said miniature skillet? The price should have been a dead giveaway and it almost is. A really great price for great quality. I scramble 1 to 2 eggs depending on the size egg I happen to have on hand and cover the skillet with a saucer or salad plate to styeam the egg till solid. With a little ham, a sausage patty, or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. I just don't understand any complaints about this great deal. I'm sure I will find many additional uses.

Question: What is Tramontina?

These are just like the great steak knifes you'll pay five or six times more for in Chicago or New York if they had the trendy steakhouse name stamped into the wood handle. They definitely are well made by Tramontina, a reliable italian manufacturer of quality kitchen goods. They look hearty and well made, and they are, with the wide, serrated blades. The minute you cut into your steak and it glides right through as if the steak was made of butter, you'll know you made a great choice. What's more, shop the various suppliers on the Amazon site as I got these 4 beauties for around $11 total! You will be hard pressed to find similar cheesy knockoffs in the various discount stores at twice that price, trust me.

Question: How did the problem with the fan was handled?

This is a good product. Upon first ordering it, it worked well but then the fan started making a lot of noise and wouldn't stop. The company was contacted and they replaced the device without question, mainly because others had also complained about the fan. The company remedied the problem by having these devices re-manufactured with a different fan (I don't mean they repaired the one I sent them - I mean all their future devices were manufactured with a better fan). So they mailed me a new one at their own expense and it's been working great ever since - no noisy fan ever again. I was also pleased with their customer service - actually got a very nice, real live,courteous, friendly person on the phone who bent over backwards to be helpful. So I'm completely satisfied with this purchase and it continues to be a great little workhorse. I have one in the bathroom and one in the laundry room.

Question: What is the compartment at the bottle of the bottle for?

ZingAnything Aqua Zinger - Green Sports Cap = AWESOMENESS! It's way better than I thought and more than I expected! Okay...read the product details, you will still be amazed when you receive it. It's extremely well and thoughtfully made. The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw. It holds a great amount of liquid and the compartment at the bottom that actually grinds the fruit/veggies is generous. Since buying the blueberry & pomegranate concentrates here on Amazon for my smoothies, I now add some to my (infused) water. I'm gonna look so darn smart this summer! hahaha :D

The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw. <hl> It holds a great amount of liquid and the compartment at the bottom that actually grinds the fruit/veggies is generous. <hl> Since buying the blueberry & pomegranate concentrates here on Amazon for my smoothies, I now add some to my (infused) water. I'm gonna look so darn smart this summer! hahaha :D

Question: what was received as compensation for the missing hardware?

They are not the best but they are not the worst, either. I ordered 2 sets of these; the first set was fine however the second set did not include the hardware, nor was I able to get it sent to me. The good news is that amazon gave me some of my money back-so I just took the hardware off the one set to match it up at the hardware store.

Answer: some of my money back

Question: Who would the set make a great gift for?

First, set is very attractive in appearance (would make a great gift for the bride to be). Containers are solid and glass and are quality items. Lids fit closely and tightly and make an air tight seal. Only downsize to me was in the size of the containers. Two of them look like they would fit a sandwich size meal or, at best, a small portion of left over vegetables from dinner. The other two, although larger, would not store things like a lot of pasta sauce, etc. I am rating this 5 stars for the containers for what you do get (not what I was anticipating size-wise). I guess I didn't read the page well enough to see the sizes, thought I would be getting more pratical size containersfor kitchen needs.In doing further research, I see that Lock&Lock makes a larger set and I will probably buy them for myself (almost the same price as this set, so it would be worth it to pay a little more).

Question: Who did the author gift one of these to years ago?

Finally have the perfect scoop for making cookies just the size I want them. Gave one of these to a daughter a couple of years ago and have wanted one for myself ever since. Why did I wait so long? The scoop is easy to handle, easy to use, easy to clean and does just what it should - scoop & release cookie dough or (probably) meat balls, etc. Haven't tried anything but dough so far. If you want your cookies a nice, uniform size, this is for you! Oh, and you can make nice, small ice cream scoops also. Kind of cute!

Question: what did the husband want for the wedding?

My husband really wanted a chocolate fountain at our wedding, it was one of the only things he had input on. I started looking at the rentals and was shocked that they were about $150 - $200 to rent. We were having a smaller wedding with only about 60 guests and I could not imagine spending that much on a chocolate fountain rental, so I started my quest and found the Wilton 3 Tier Chocolate Fountain.We cleaned it before the wedding, but didn't have a chance to try it out so the wedding day was the trial day. We heated the chocolate pieces and mixed in the oil and there it went we had our own chocolate fountain (I paid a couple college kids to keep the chocolate going as well as keep the other dishes on our buffet table full and they just used zip lock bags to melt the chocolate and mix in the oil). We have since used it several other times. My husband is in charge of cleaning it, he says you have to treat it kind of like a paint sprayer when you clean it and make sure that all of the parts get cleaned so that it doesn't clog up. With his method of cleaning we have had no problems and do a lot more chocolate fondue than we did before we had the fountain.I have since experimented with the fondue recipe a bit and use a mix of chocolate pieces, marshmallows and brandy then add a little oil if it is too thick. The trick is to make sure that the chocolate is not too thick and heavy for the pump that takes the chocolate to the top of the fountain.One more note, I have seen some of the fancy fountains at other events and in some buffets and I would say if you are looking to use this for a large (More than 75 people) gathering you probably need to go with something bigger, but for smaller groups this is a hit.

Question: What did the reviewer use to pin the flap to the bottom of the organizer?

These don't work perfectly for bunk beds as designed. I ended up looping the flap over the bar and pinning it with a safety pin to the bottom of the organizer. Works really well to hold books, book light, tissues and other small items for my older two, who are top bunk dwellers. My daughter LOVES it, my son doesn't use it much. Overall though I am pleased with the purchase. It was a lot less than the one bunk bed organizer advertised and with the safety pins, it works perfectly.

Question: How much does the cup hold?

I've had this cup for a week or so now. There's not really much that can go wrong with a cup. Some people have express problems with the lid. Mine does not leak. It did smell strongly when it came out of the package, but if you can live with it for 3 days it dissipates. It just smells like anything made of plastic or silicone that's new. When you put hot coffee or hot tea in it, it gets nicely warm on the outside, however if you make your tea with boiling water it gets too hot.What I like about this cup...It's beautiful. The porcelain has a lovely finish, and if you're arty, you can draw on it with a pencil and wash it off.What I don't like...It's only 10 oz, and I like to have 12 oz. of coffee or tea, so it feels a bit brief when I come to the end of my drink.

Question: What was their second one purchased for?

I'm not one for rave reviews but I've been pounding on this thing every morning for two years and it's held up great. It's the right size, wouldn't want it bigger or smaller. The quality stainless hasn't tarnished one bit, the bamboo box is strong and still looks good -the only thing is the satin lacquer finish has gone dull from repeated washing but that was expectable. Even the foam on the bar is still in good shape.To boot it was a bargain at the price and I ended buying a second one for a gift

Question: What are the feet made out of?

This is a well constructed, easy to assemble, nice looking TV stand. It easily supports my Samsung 55" LED TV. The plastic feet allow it to slide nicely on a hard-wood floor, so you can easily pull it away from the wall to manage TV connections.I had to ding it one star for the cheap-plastic "decorative rings" between each leg piece, and the difficult to remove inspection stickers on every item; the stickers indicate that they are doing good quality control, but they need to use a sticker that doesn't leave a sticky mess on 16 different pieces. It took me longer to get all the stickers off than to put the thing together.

Question: What is a major advantage of stainless steel?

After buying several plastic insulated travel mugs from Starbucks, I was looking for something better. The best thing the Starbucks travel mugs had going for them is that they did not leak, unless you screw the top on too tight; then the rubber gasket comes loose from the lid and it leaks around the gasket. Another reviewer here had mentioned that the Contigo mug she had did not keep hot for the 4 hours indicated. Did a bit more research, including finding both models at a local retailer. The plastic/foam insulated are only rated for 1 hour. The stainless steel/vacuum model is rated for 4 hours and I'm finding that it is indeed keeping water and coffee hot for 4 hours. They're both leakproof, but another big advantage to the stainless steel for me is that it doesn't absorbe taste or odors like the plastic will. I have smallish hands with weak grip strength and the push button mechanism for drinking is not difficult for my hand at all. Will be purchasing another to keep in my suitcase. It's the perfect travel mug.

Question: What is good with the filter?

When I first got this coffee maker I knew it had the features I was wanting. I had a problem with it shutting off before the water was all pumped through. I was just about ready to send it back when I went on line and read about when it does that to push the valve down in the bottom of the water tank. It did the trick and I couldn't be happier with this little gem! You might have some over flow out of the grounds basket if you use a fine grind. It seems to work better with regular store grinds allowing the water to flow through them faster and not cause back up. Having it's own filter and basket is nice and the filter hasn't stained.

Question: What texture is Copperbrill?

If you've invested in copper cookware, it's well worth the added investment to purchase Copperbrill. I cherish each of my copper pieces and wanted to use the best, safest polish I could. This non-abrasive, smooth paste instantly shines up copper and removes even tough stains almost effortlessly.I recently bought a few copper pots and pans that were marked down dramatically because they had been store display pieces. They were quite dulled, with sticker residue and many dark fingerprints and water stains. Most people would have overlooked them, but I knew that Copperbrill would restore them to perfect condition-and it did!

Question: Where was this item purchased?

We bought this to replace a different stainless steel wall-mounted paper towel holder (like this:Prodyne M 913 Stainless Cabinet HolderOur old one was screwed into plastic anchors in the drywall but, with the way it was designed, it pulled away from the wall every time we had to pull the empty roll off or put a new rolls on, so eventually the unit and plastic anchors would come out of the wall. This Kamenstein paper towel holder, which we purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, is far superior for wall-mounted applications: the roll slides on and off easily enough (but not so easily that it will pull off when you're not wanting it to), and it spins with ease (but not so much that it will spew paper towels all over). We have stainless steel appliances in our kitchen, so this was a nice (and, moreover, functional) addition. We also looked at the Simple Human brand while in the store, but this Kamenstein paper towel holder looked nicer and appeared to be just as good quality, at half the price.

Question: Does the item come with any other satisfaction offers?

Very happy with my Roomba 560. I have hardwood floors with a few area rugs and so far, I am finding that the Roomba is perfect for me - I am amazed at the amount of schmutz it picks up, even if it does take a while to do the job. It has gotten stuck a few times under the edge of the couch, but I will be remedying that by raising the couch slightly so it can get under and out without any difficulty. Mine is a remanufactured Roomba, and so far no problems whatsoever. After registering my Roomba online with iRobot, I received an automatic 15% discount on any Roomba accessories - I purchased the remote control with my discount and should be receiving it in a few days. Because the Roomba is a spendy item, I will keep this review updated as necessary, but am hoping they will only be positive updates. Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company ("BuyHappier"), I don't think I will be unhappy at all. So far, I am happy to recommend this item wholeheartedly!

I have only played with this product, but I can get it to vacuum and stay sealed. You just have to hold the jar sealer firmly on the jar. I did not use two lids, wash or heat the lid or jar. The first time I tried it it did not work and I thought I should have listened to the bad reviews, the second time I just held the sealer on the jar firmly and it sealed like it should. No problems. I am going to enjoy these. I have the wide mouthed one too and I believe they will pay for themselves in no time. A tip for both sealers. Take a push pin or thumb tack and poke a hole in your lid. Cover the hole with a piece of tape( I used a bit of duct tape) then seal your jar. When you get ready to unseal the jar just pull the tape back and let the air in. You don't have to pry the lid off. To reseal just fold the tape back over the hole.

Question: how many spoons are used daily?

I have had this set for almost a year. They replaced my other set that I had for almost twenty years. I love the different variations of spoons in this set. I use at least two of them every day! These spoons are super long. I wasn't sure I would like the length but I haven't thought twice about it since opening them up. I love how the top part has more of a rubber touch to it. I also love the fact that you can have the ability to hang these spoons. I bought metal hooks and they hang on my refrigerator. Kind of dresses up the kitchen a little. If you do a lot of cooking these are a must have.

Question: What types of drinks is the user fond of making?

As someone who's fond of making margaritas and Moscow mules, it's a lot easier when you have a citrus squeezer. I originally had one of those manual juicers with a jar under it to catch the juice, but it was just inefficient and quite messy.This has been a breeze to use and clean. AND as an unforeseen added bonus, the bright cheerful yellow color has made it extremely easy for my blind-as-a-bat boyfriend to find. Instead of standing in front of the open drawer yelling, "Where's the lemon juicer!".. he actually finds it himself.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to juice limes or lemons regularly.

Question: In which way does this opener allow you to open your bottles?

OK, who really needs a $12 bottle opener? Well, no one. But, if you are like me and enjoy a great craft beer almost every day, this opener makes your evening ritual just a little nicer. The opener itself is as close to perfect as any opener can be, and for that it deserves a look. It will last forever and when you die, your kids may fight over it. So why not treat yourself to one of life's little pleasures (opening your bottle in style) just before you enjoy one of life's most exquisite pleasures, a great glass of beer!

Question: What would the poster rate this product out of a 5?

This is the third Hippo Digital scale I have purchased in the past year, one for me and two for presents for others. The one I bought for me is fine, but one that I gave as a present a few months ago, lost the plastic covering over the "window" and the last one I just bought came broken and will only show grams and not pounds/ounces like it should.One good scale out of three is not a good ratio to me, so although I would rate the one I got as a 5 star, I have to give the product only 1 star. It's disappointing and bothersome to buy two gifts when one starts to fall apart and the other is broken from day one. Now I have to go through the hassle of a return.

Question: What is secure?

I have filled all the four that I ordered originally and am going back to order four more. They are pretty sturdy and I feel confident placing heavier objects in them. I like the clear sides of course, and the latches seemed to be snug and secure. I suppose in time they might have issues, but if they are treated well they should last quite a while. Amazon has a gazillion of these in various sizes, and it beats having to go to the store and wrestle them home. They came packed well and no breakage at all.

Question: Where does the cutting board balance well?

This cutting board is a nice weight, with a smooth cutting surface. It balances well on the front edge of my counter, and the expanding basket is extremely useful. I love peeling my carrots and other veggies right into that basket, instead of dragging a trash can across the kitchen. Then I can easily take my veggie scraps to the compost bin, rinse the basket, and proceed to chopping my veggies. When the veggies are all chopped, I can push them into the basket to easily transfer them to my pan. The basket removes easily for washing, and attaches nicely to the cutting board for storage.The ONLY thing I don't like about this cutting board is that the collapsible basket and the folded down edge make it a bit bulky to store between uses. It's about 1.5 inches thick when it's ready to store. But, that's just something I need to adjust to. It's worth the extra storage space.

Question: What is your main problem with the old type scales?

After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions, I bought a food scale. I actually first bought a different food scale. It was a cheap old fashioned scale that seemed to do the job just fine. After a couple months of use, I noticed myself tapping the scale, moving the items around, and it dawned on me. I was still cheating my portions!!! It was subconscious; I had developed habits that made the scale weigh the items lighter than they really were. Plus, when you are talking one ounce portions of crackers, the accuracy is just way off with those old fashioned scales.Thus, I finally bit the bullet and coughed up the extra cash for this digital scale. It was an eye opening experience. I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods. Moral of the story is that if you are serious about portion control, you need this scale - not just a scale - THIS scale. It is the only thing that keeps me in check.

Question: Is cleaning the Primula easy?

I have a Keurig for every day and am growing fond of it, but sometimes, I just need the satisfaction of something slower, more relaxing, more hands-on. This Primula coffee press is perfect for a leisurely weekend morning when I want to kick back with the paper and a croissant and feel like I'm in a cafe somewhere peaceful. If you've never used a French press, you might want to give it a try. It's easy to use and produces a lovely cup of coffee. Although it purports to make six cups, in fact, it makes about a large mug and a half - just enough. Yes, it takes a minute to dump the grounds and clean the pot. It's more than worth it.

Question: What did I buy?

My first thought while taking the first glass our of the box was; "wow, are these crystal?". Well, they aren't but it might fool some people. No ringing rims like crystal but they weigh as much and feel the same. Although 1 of the 4 pack was broken (Amazon refunded the purchase and let me keep the other 3) they seem very rugged and have thick sidewalks. If you like heavy, quality feeling glassware, these are a fab deal!

Question: What pattern is on the bottom of the dishes?

I ordered these to complement16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set, I intended to use these a tea mugs. I liked the uniqueness of them but, when they arrived I realized that the handle is not well-balanced. The handle will accommodate a large hand but, the curve makes it awkward. The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. The dishes held up in the dishwasher, no chips or porcelain impurities noticed. The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle, it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it.

Question: Where is the pizza pie usually placed on?

I have been experimenting with pizza making for a few years. I've gone through a few Pizza Peels in that time. I've tried the traditional wood, the one offered by Epicurian and this one. The wood one is too thick and although its tapered nicely to retrieve the pies it usually has a problem placing the pie on the Stone. The Epicurian peel was alot better but I still had difficulties transferring the pies to and from the stone. The Mario Batali Peel has no problems at all. Its strong enough to handle a fully loaded pie to and from a pizza stone. I particularly like the thinness and strength of the blade. Its easy to clean and can be taken apart for easy storage. What's not to like? It does what it should.

Question: where do they keep the shakers?

So convenient because, being stack-able, they take up very little room. The only thing I wish was different is that the holes in the salt shaker are so very small, I wish they were a tiny bit bigger. It's hard to get the salt out. Still, the shakers look have a clean, sharp look to them. I frequently eat in front of the TV so I have them on a tray right by the sofa where they are convenient. I taste the food sitting there and don't have to go back to the kitchen if I find I need salt or pepper. This is probably a use most people don't care about, but that's what I use them for.

Question: what feature gives the writer the most trouble when using the product?

I use this knife mostly to cut bread: both bagels and homemade sourdough.On the plus side, it makes very thin, smooth and even slices out of the bread.But on the negative side, the safety switch which shuts it off when you don't keep steady pressure on the on/off switch is maddening! In my case, this happens most of the time when I'm cutting super-crunchy, crusty Artisan bread loaves.I'm finding it really awkward to both press down on the knife and keep pressure on the trigger lock.It definitely lacks power, too,The carrying case & meat fork is a nice touch, though.I'll keep looking for an electric knife with a more powerful motor.
