Question: Does the user like Bodom Coffee Presses?

DO NOT BUY ANY BODUM COFFEE OR TEA PRESS THAT CONTAINS GLASS. BODUM USES A SPECIAL BOROSILICATE GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.I love Bodum Coffee Presses. But I would NEVER recommend anyone buy one with a glass beaker. You will need to replace the beaker frequently, since the special glass Bodum uses is extremely fragile, and breaks repeatedly for no apparent reason at all. I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. Make no mistake, you do not have to bang the glass against anything for it to break. It simply cracks spontaneously for no apparent reasonBodum has come out with some presses with a LEXAN clear plastic beaker.These do not break. I assume they came out with the LEXAN product because of problems with the glass. Be warned.If you do buy this product, buy a half dozen replacement beakers at the same time. You will need them.

Question: How much was the trashcan?

After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. No regrets. Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. It's fun to see when your friends come over and watch their face as the trash can opens. I've had two grown men friends sitting there playing with the trash can. That in itself is reason enough to get it. Occasionally I walk by and it opens on its own but no big deal. I don't really use the on/off button or even the open/close button. Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen!!Another great purchase from amazon!!

Question: What has the reviewer cut into 1/2's to make odobo?

Bought it primarily for use breaking down rabbits. I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo. It is a very heavy cleaver that appears to hold a great edge. The blade image is a bit misrepresented, it's carbon steel - so it will get dark. You can shine it up with steelwool if ya want it shiny. The carbon steel will hold a great edge and can easily be sharped. I'm not sure how I got by this long without one in my kitchen.

Question: What kind of mold is it where its wider on the top?

We purchased this mold for soap making.It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches.Let it sit longer than you normally would before un-molding too if not you will lose some of the detail at the bottom of the mold. This mold is also tapered so it is wider on top than the bottom.When used properly it makes beautiful soap and lotion bars!

Question: What was not mentioned anywhere in the description?

Perhaps I have been brainwashed into believing that the method of brewing coffee influences flavor, but I have been using a cone style filter for most of my adult life and was shocked when I opened this coffee maker and discovered it had a cup-style filter (not mentioned anywhere I could see in the advertisements for it). As with another reviewer, the temperature was much lower than my favorite old Cuisinart which broke down after many years of daily-plus use, and the coffee cooled down in my cup before I was even halfway finished with it. I packaged this DeLonghi back up and went and replaced my Cuisinart with the identical one I have used for years.

Question: How many cups does the water dispenser hold?

I like the Zero water concept. It delivers on its promise of clean water. However, in my area of the country, I go through filters quickly. The filters are expensive, but you have to balance that with the cost of bottled water.My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. The one I bought had a design flaw in the button that allows the water to dispense. It has a small stem that is made of plastic and will eventually break. There is no way to repair it.The company promised to replace the dispenser...then I waited, and waited...the customer service people kept stalling. Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser, but they sent me coupons for more filters! Incredible!A company that has such disregard for its customers does not deserve my business. I will never buy another one of their products.

Question: What didn't the author anticipate?

Yes, it's small, we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description. I guess I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to transfer the grounds into the espresso thingy. I don't really have a small enough spoon to get in the grinder basin so I try to just grind a perfect amount and then carefully dump it into the press. It always makes quite a mess on the counter but I haven't looked for another product because this one does it's job of grinding beautiful aromatic coffee so well!

Question: What is the author reviewing?

I was in desperate need of a can opener, and this little guy saved the day. It is extremely easy to use! Even someone who struggles in the kitchen, like myself, feels like a pro using this can opener. I have to be honest, I didn't think the can opener was working when I first used it. It cut into the lid so smoothly I couldn't tell it was working. I kept turning and suddenly the lid was off. (insert joke about men being fish out of water in the kitchen). It was slightly embarrasing, but I have never used a hand held can opener that was so easy to operate. I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. I know she will love it too!

Question: How much moisture did this recent model pick up compared to the old one?

Let's say carpet cleaning is NO my big thrill in life. I purchases a similar Eureka model. It was a bit more than the Eureka, but well worth every penny. I has a separate load for the soap, you fill with your own warm water in a nice large tank so you don't have to stop every 5 minutes and load. This permits you not only to clean the carpet, but rinse it so you don't have soap residue. It has a large easy to remove collection tank, easy to dump. It picked up three times the moisture from the carpet than the Eureka. When I cleaned with Eureka it took days for the carpet to be dry. With the Hoover the next day it was completely dry.It was easy to push. I could clean a room in a matter of a few minutes. It promises deep cleans and it delivers. So forget about renting those back-breaking cleans that are cumbersome to use. Forget wasting money on ones that don't clean good or remove water from the carpet. Spend a little more and get the RIGHT STUFF!

Question: What espresso maker did I have before the new one?

I don't usually leave a review, but I always appreciate the reviews people leave. They are very helpful for my decision making of a product.I want to start out by saying, Amazon always gets my order to me very quickly. I received the Nespresso U C50 with Aeroccino Milk Frother today. I unpacked it, and made an espresso. The best espresso ever, I was only trying to duplicate a Starbucks Latte. In my opinion this was a great decision to finally buy this machine, it makes a better espresso than Starbucks. The machine is compact, and clean looking. It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago.The Nespresso is extremely quick and no clean up, amazing machine. I just wish now I would have purchased it long ago. Very happy with it at this point.

Question: What could crack the plastic?

This rack is okay, but not great. I agree with other reviewers that the lids are very fragile. I am extremely careful when taking them off and putting them back on. I feel that any over tightening will crack the thin plastic. That being said, it's still better to have all my odds and ends of spices in this compact rack. I used a label maker to put the names on the bottles and put them in alphabetical order to make it easy and quick to find what I need. So many of the racks I found were wall mount and that wasn't an option for me so I'm glad to find this one at a reasonable price.

Question: What is the head made out of?

This cocktail muddler will look nice on a bar, with a heavy brushed-finish stainless steel handle that is tapered for comfort, and a solid nylon head with pyramidal teeth that won't scratch glass. The end of the handle is smooth and rounded so it can be used with any grip. It is just over 8 inches long to reach down into tall glasses.This gadget is also useful for getting all the juice out of smaller citrus fruits like key limes or those expensive little sweet lemons that won't fit on a manual juicer. It could also be used as a meat tenderizer when cooking for one and it makes quick work of mashing garlic or cracking peppercorns.The handle is heavy-duty but it is hollow so it probably is better to hand wash as recommended, although the head does fit in very tightly and I don't see how water could get in.A sample was provided for testing and review. This is an attractive and functional bar and kitchen tool so I can definitely recommend it.

Question: Where does the family like to eat dinner?

My family loves to take our dinner in the living room and watch a good movie together, but we have had problems and the Table Mate has helped to sovle them. I don't know about you but I have had my battles with my legs having no room while using TV tables and bending half-way over to reach my plate on my coffee table while sitting in a very uncomfortable position.We needed a solution and this product gave us that; I think the concept of Table Mate is great. Yes, perhaps the construction doesn't match the price which I do feel is a little steep, but the table gives you room, comfort and ease which is a real plus. I feel the product does what it says it will and does it well and certainly has made our TV room dinner/movie time a much more pleasant experience.

Question: When is this product used?

Look, the Cuisinart SS-300 Single Server Brewing System is great - if you are the only one using it. It is cumbersome if there is more than one person in your household. Simply put you have to add water each time you want a cup of coffee. I have the larger Cuisinart keurig product that has a larger water reservoir that allows you to make successive single cups without the hassle of having to fill it up each time. It works the same as its big brother in every respect as I can tell. Unfortunately there are more than one in my household. Consequently this product gets used when only one cup serving is desired. This is a great product otherwise.

Question: why did the reviewer buy the spice jar labels initially?

Question: What was the second rating given to the coffee pot after a couple months of usage?

Perfect replacement after I broke the original decanter for my FT series coffeemaker. I almost didn't order this after reading the negative reviews about leaking, but I'm very glad I did. This decanter has a much cleaner pour that the one that came with my coffeemaker and doesn't leak at all. Maybe they have improved the design? Very pleased.UPDATE: I've had this for a couple of months now, and it has started to leak. Not just tons of liquid, but enough to make a nice puddle on the counter top. Come on, Mr Coffee, how hard could it be to make a coffee pot that works?? Changed my rating from 5 stars to 3, should've just bought a new coffee maker.

Answer: 3

Question: When can it not hold itself up?

Hamper comes as advertised and is durable (with care of course). I put my dryer sheets and detergent at the bottom of the hamper, however, because the hamper isn't heavy enough by itself to hold up if there are only a few pieces of clothing in the hamper with the detergent and dryer sheets on the side pocket.

Question: What are the fan blades made of?

Westpointe 4-Inch High Velocity Fan (black): Reasonable price and VERY fast shipping. I have a black one, which does not appear to be the same fan as the colored ones (e.g. the black one is shown with 3 blades; the colored ones with four.) Colored, four inch, four blade metal fans that sure do look like those shown in this listing are sold at my local flea market for $7. So if there really are two different fans offered in this listing, there is a considerable difference in quality. The black one puts out more air than I anticipated; I can feel a breeze at 6 feet. It appears to be well constructed; the blades are not flimsy; it is heavy and stable (doesn't tip over); the front grid can easily be removed for cleaning and it is VERY quiet. While certainly far from being an engineering marvel, the motor looks like it might, with a little luck, last a full year.

Question: What is this product similar to?

This is a cool little cooking option if you have enough space in your kitchen to hook it up. It seems perfect to me for someone who wants to find out what it's like to cook with an induction stovetop without having to redo their whole kitchen. Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy. The touchscreen is really easy to understand and use and makes using this thing easier.The skillet that came with it is also great (but I'm not cookware snob so I probably wouldn't know "good" from "great" or just "okay").I really love using this product and have used it several times just for the fun of it, but you do kind of have to plan ahead to clear out some space for it if you want to use it. Also seems like it would be convenient for camping (if you had an electrical outlet).

Question: what material is the product made out of?

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

Question: What kind of filter does the author mention?

Yeah sure, Hepa filter microns microbes blah blah, but it's the *carbon* filter (aka the Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter) that keeps the house from smelling like a Bullitt County bingo hall. Change the carbon filter every month or so and you can lie to your children about having given up the Pall Malls. I bought the Honeywell 17000 first; it uses the same pre-filter, it's quieter and it probably helps a little. The 50250, however, is exponentially more effective at eliminating cigarette smoke simply because it filters a massive amount of air. To do that, it has to make a little noise. Fine with me; I haven't heard the neighbor's country music in months and the dog is no longer alerted to save us from the mailman's daily threat to commit a home invasion.

Question: How much water does the Medelco kettle hold?

I have been usingMedelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettlefor years, maybe even a decade, but I am always looking to improve my mays so I thought I would give this attractive Circulon Whistling Tea Kettle a shot. I definitely prefer my glass teapot for several reasons. First, it holds twice as much water. Second, you can see the water without having to open anything and peek. Third and probably most important is glass does not add a metallic taste to my water and/or my tea. The Circulon is more attractive though so I think if I was staging a home to sell, I would display the Circulon but when it comes to ease of use with the tastiest tea, I would always use and recommend glass tea pot.

Answer: twice as much

Question: What did they buy the item for?

I bought this because I thought it would be worth it to get the knife block off of the counter. But, on second thought, I've decided to use it on the workbench assembly (ASIN: B00006RGKY) I just bought for screwdrivers.I would say that it's easy to dent. I received mine with a small dent on the top, then managed to put another dent in it since. The perforated surface is a double edged sword, but attractive nonetheless. And it's very strong. Its strength makes me wonder if it's safe for the blade edges of my knives. I've feared banging a knife against it and chipping, which is why I decided to use it in my shop instead.

Question: What part of the kettle is removable for cleaning?

This electric kettle replaced an older model that has worked for 4 years, until the on-off switch became unreliable.This kettle is fantastic and I love watching the water boil through the clear screen in front. The water boils quickly, the kettle is stylish and easy to clean, the filter is removable for cleaning of hard water deposits, and replaceable, AND the pour spout is wide and offers very little spillage.For the price, this kettle will be on my counter for as many years as it will provide us service. No more burnt pots on the stove left unattended by another family member. Never have to remember to turn off the stove, this kettle shuts off automatically. The best way to clean hard-water deposits is to use 1/4 apple cider vinegar in 3 cups of water; boil contents, let sit, clean with non-scratch pad. Presto, and brand new. Enjoy.

Question: Which set is not inspiring?

I use this set for cutting gum paste forms for cake decorating. For that purpose, they are excellent. They are sharp and make clean cuts. For a butterfly theme party, it gives you a good variety of butterflies (although a couple are more moth shaped than butterfly shaped). The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection.I took a point off because good cutters have a sharp side and a rolled side to make it easy to work with. The rolled side of this set is still pretty sharp, making it uncomfortable to handle when you're trying to cut a lot of shapes.

Question: How many slow cookers did they use?

These are fantastic! I slow cook, ALL the time. I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey, in slow cookers! I typically use the name brand ones found at my local grocery store, if I get them on sale I can get 2 boxes for 5 bucks, so, 8 bags total for 5 dollars. With these I got 25 for 10 dollars. You do the math. They worked just as great, if not better. No bubbling like the ones from my grocery store, they held up, no mess at the end of the day, I threw everything away, and I used 7 slow cookers, if that tells you anything. They fit my 1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart slow cooker.

Question: How was the item helpful with food dishes?

I was given this item as a gift after I used a similar item and loved it. It held a variety of dishes and kept them cold for several hours. I put just 1 large bag of ice in the boat. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is that the one I had used before had a drain tube which was nice. We were able to open the drain into a bucket and get the water off before lifting to dump the remaining ice. With this item, we had to scoop out the water and ice before lifting it off the table. It was easy to blow up.

Question: Why were the toasters returned?

I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice. Some were considerably more expensive than this one. This one seems pretty even, but it did toast one side of the bread side darker than the other. The side closer to the center was darker--however, it was within my standards for eating on both sides (but barely on the darker side). I will be keeping it as I am tired of the search for a good toaster, and at least this one is even.One feature toasters seem to never have now is the option for one slice. Older toasters could sense if you had only one slice in and would heat only the coils on that side (it was always a specific side--it would only sense this happening if it was in the correct slot). I suspect that is what this one needs, and the fact that it is heating coils on both sides even though I have only one slice of bread in is why it is darker on the bread side closer to the center of the toaster.I cannot comment on the longevity as I have only had it a few days.

Older toasters could sense if you had only one slice in and would heat only the coils on that side (it was always a specific side--it would only sense this happening if it was in the correct slot). I suspect that is what this one needs, and the fact that it is heating coils on both sides even though I have only one slice of bread in is why it is darker on the bread side closer to the center of the toaster.I cannot comment on the longevity as I have only had it a few days.

I have ordered and returned several toasters because <hl> they did not toast evenly across the slice <hl> .


Question: What is all over the house due to a disabled family member?

I've had two earlier versions of the Floormate. They seemed to pick up the wet water better. This model doesn't do quite the job they did on pickup. This is wider and I do like the attachments (and the nifty storage rack) to get under things. I have sheet vinyl throughout the house due to a wheelchair bound family member so use it daily. Being wider has it's pro and con - faster on the big areas, but harder to get into spaces that the older version could manage. Go SLOW if you want a decent job done. Clean up with the new version is much improved and easier! Like the easy way the dirty water container comes out and apart to empty. Advantage is that you aren't just slopping dirty mop water around so floors feel and look really nice. I will ALWAYS have one in my house! Makes life easier!

Question: What items can you cook in the oven?

With just the two of us to cook for, a countertop oven is more energy efficient than heating up the a large oven just to bake two potatoes and roast a dozen spears of asparagus. And for the money, this one does the job. However, determining how long something will take to cook is a guessing game. The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350, using an oven thermometer. I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected. It says it will hold a 13-inch pan, but not if it has handles on it; 13 inches total is the maximum, so measure your pans. The picture shows two pizzas in the oven, but even with the convection on, the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top. I've never used the rotisserie, as it says it will take 4 hours to cook a chicken.

Question: How many times do they make coffee on Sunday?

I brew a two-cup thermal mug of coffee every day of the week and sometimes twice on Sunday, and so I use a #2 filter every day, or even more. These filters are pure white, leave no paper taste, hold up well (important when you're dumping grounds) and have a nifty little finger tab that makes the filter easy to open. The best news is that 800 of them will last me more than two years before I have to find #2 filters again. They're in sealed bags of 100, and each bag has its own "zipper" seal. Two years won't be a problem, and the price is right.

Question: What is the largest can the crusher will take?

At 20 inches long and 6 wide it's rather unsightly in my kitchen. The can crusher works like a charm though, doesn't quite squish the cans as flat as the old stomp method but it does reduce them at least by half. It won't take anything larger than a standard 12 oz can.A wall stud is a must for installation as it really does pull to smash the can. I'm sure if the unit were smaller it would need a lot more force to use so I won't gripe about the size of it as it is easy to use.I think I'll be painting it white so it'll blend into my kitchen wall a little better instead of this huge black thing on my wall w/ it's additonal very large black (I opted not to use the American flag decal) collection bin that really is a must have addition.It's going to be a welcome addition to our household and will sure cut my trips to the recyling center down.

Question: What did Kitchenaid do a good job at?

I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans. The pans are quite thick and sturdy and the non-stick coating is quite good. I have used a number of pans that have come from different manufacturers, and many times, the non-stick coating doesn't work as well as it should or starts peeling. The non-stick coating on these pans is quite excellent and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend these pans for all those mini jobs even if you don't use them in your countertop oven.

Question: What thread count cover did they purchase?

I am pretty picky with these things, but this duvet insert is perfect for me. I usually kick off my blankets in the night and then wake up feezing in the early morning hours. That doesn't happen anymore with this duvet. It keeps enough heat in to keep me comfortably warm but not so much that I start feeling overheated and claustrophobic. So glad I got this. I used it for a few nights without the duvet cover since that had not arrived yet - I would not reccommend that as it will shed little white fuzzballs everywhere. Since getting it in the duvet cover, that has not been a problem. I recommend using this with the duvet clips available on Amazon to keep the devet aligned witht he cover. I bought the Royal Hotel 800 thread count king size duvet cover which fit perfectly with this king size insert.

Question: The drinking glass is great for someone who is what?

Unless it's impossible to figure out the equation- that'd be up to the great mathematicians and scientists to discover! This drinking glass is perfect for all the dorky, uncool cup drinkers out there... of which I may categorize myself as! Nah I'm not one of those I'm afraid- I just like drinking out of a pretty nifty cup. However it really would be interesting if these aren't just random numbers and letters around the outside of the cup and there was an actual solution that was really cleverly disguised. We can all dream that there is one, haha. A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early.

Question: Does the grinder come assembled?

Once I got it assembled, it worked just fine. Unlike some other reviewers' comments, I must say that the stainless steel does have some nicks and dents, but nothing that affects the use, only aesthetics. I did have a lot of trouble getting the ring to fit and fasten over the blades, but once it was in place it worked. My main objective was to buy a manual grinder made of stainless steel--not carbon steel, not aluminum--so I accomplished that. I would like an electric stainless steel grinder rather than a manual one (I have arthritis), but just can't afford such a luxury for an item I only use twice per month.One tip: If you grind chicken breasts, they must be skinless, boneless and trimmed of fat and membranes. Also, keep them almost completely frozen, just thawed enough to pull them loose from packaging. Use a sharp knife to cut each large breast in about three pieces. The auger pulls them in and feeds them through beautifully. I used the blade with the larger holes, and it was just right. I'm very pleased with this purchase, which will probably outlast me.

Question: What star rating will the user change their review to if the product lasts the whole season?

This thing is a hoot! So far I have dried peaches, apples and cherries and made beef jerky. That is more the function of how great dehydrators in general are though. THis one isn't ridiculously loud at all, as some people have said. You amy have to turn the TV up a few clicks if it is in the saem room, but you don't really notice it over a conversation or anything. Reasonable amount of space to dry stuff. My main issue is that it has major hot spots. I have to remove the fruit and stuff piece by piece every couple hours because some areas dry much mroe quickly. In retrospect, it would probably have been worth an extra $10 to find one without hotspots (but who knows, maybe that one would have them too and then I would have wasted $10). If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars. Regardless, buy a dehydrator, even if it isnt this one!

Question: What did they want reduce in their home?

I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. I was not thinking of any use for them beyond the obvious of cupcakes and muffins normally baked in paper cups. I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... whatever you use stock for. I love these, I'm glad I bought two sets, and I may order two more soon.

Question: Was the wok expensive?

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: How many times a year do you clean the heppa sponge?

I have owned my Dyson DC15 Animal for many years now and it still works perfectly. I have "2" pugs who shed a LOT and this vacuum handles them guys and more. It is easy to operate and actually "fun" to use. Previously with my old Orek (before they had the HEPA filter) my house would smell like "dog". As you use the Dyson, the air it sucks in actually comes out cleaner than before it went in. No more dog smell. The key to this vacuum is maintaining it. Don't wait until it fills to the top with dirt. Just pop out the container and drop the dirt into the garbage in only a matter of seconds. I use the brush attachment tool that comes with the vacuum to brush off the inside of the vacuum outdoors every couple of empty-ings. Once or twice a year you take out the heppa sponge and wash it in soap and water. (be sure to thoroughly dry). Best vacuum ever owned. As a MAN, I appreciate how easy this vacuum is to keep running and my wife agrees it is the best vacuum she has ever used. We are in our 50's so we have owned a few vacuums in our time. amazon had the best price at the time and I like their easy return policy. Nice job Amazon.
