Question: What are the recommendations for cleaning the shower curtain?

pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub; the print is wearing off. I still like the shower curtain and will continue to use it.Update: Its been almost 7 months now and I threw this away.... its not the fault of the shower curtain, its my own. I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.

Question: How did the reviewer obtain the product?

These were a gift. They make for an attractive presentation, are extremely easy to clean with a warm water and soap soak, and the built in handle indentations make this a nice choice as serving pieces. My only gripe is the price. I think these are way too pricey and no doubt the result of marketing an item under a celebrity's name. Otherwise, these are functional and attractive and cool because they can be stored nestled within one another to take up less space.As for the color chosen, the person who gave this to me knew I wouldn't care for some of the color choices and was wise to go with white. It's my favorite non-color color because it works with my kitchen and looks fresh and clean.

Question: What kind of containers does the user put in the freezer?

Great product! I have to say this lunch warmer heats food quite evenly, much better than a microwave. My husband and I keep stash of healthy leftovers in 2 cup round glass containers in the freezer to grab and go. These work beautifully with the lunch warmer. The night before, I choose lunch for the next day, put it in the frig to partially thaw and my lunch is ready to slide into the crock pot warmer once I get to work the next morning. No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert. I must say I am looking forward to our next road trip as I plan taking 2 crock pots, a cooler and an inverter to help minimize the monetary and weight gain expense of travel. I've read complaints about the cord length (3 ft), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry. Liked this product so much, I bought 7 of them as gifts, all greatly appreciated....even got a lunch text photo from my son, the engineer and a big thank you from my Marine! Enjoy

Question: What is the noise level generated by the product?

I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. They are heavy little units but work exceptionally well for back-up heat or when you don't want to run the central unit. Whisper quiet, they are able to heat an average size room to the point of discomfort within a short period of time. Great price, solid construction, durable and quiet. Totally pleased by this purchase...just keep in mind, we are in the sunshine state so heat isn't as burdened as it would be up north.

Question: What did the writer do upon receiving this set?

Buying bed sheets is always a challenge because of the misleading cotton thread counts, single thread vs multi threads, etcetera. I was a little skeptical when I first ordered these because the price was good compared to other high end brands I was considering. When I received the sheets I immediately washed them and put them on the bed. They fit my oversized King mattress perfectly. They were a little wrinkled when they came out the dryer, but I put them on the bed warm and 30mins later they flattened out perfectly. The sheets were very soft with a HIGH quality feel to them. It was exactly what I was looking for.Please be aware, these sheets are heavy (due to the high thread count I believe). If you like a light weight sheet then these are not for you. BUT if you like a extremely comfortable sheet that is high quality, then these will fit your needs perfectly.

Question: What brand did they expect to like more than the purchased product?

I bought this fan a year ago when my elderly dog couldn't handle temperature in the house greater than 75 degrees. Either we ran the A/C all day just for him or we put a fan near his bed. I didn't want to run up my electric bill when it wasn't really that hot so I decided to try a fan. He liked it but whenever he went to a different room in the house I had to unplug and plug the fan each time. That got annoying real quick so I went out to buy a battery powered fan, something grab n' go. Turns out there aren't any except this one, not that I was able to locate. Batteries can be expensive but nothing compared to running the A/C. I put it near his bed and turned it on low. This fan ran for hours every day without a problem. I loved that it was convenient for me and made him comfortable. It got us through the summer and then I packed it away. It's back out again working as well as ever even though our dog is no longer around to enjoy it (he passed away last month at 18 yrs old).Oh, another thing I really like about this fan is that it folds up very narrow, easily slips into tight spaces for storage and is easy to tilt. Love that is has a handle. I wasn't expecting to like this fan more than the Vornado but it's now the one I go to first when the temps heat up.

Question: what is the author typing about that is "way more than i ever anticipated"

I always felt that the traditional napkin holder is one of those products you just can't really improve on, much like the paper clip. But OXO has tried to one-up the napkin holder by producing this device.It works well, as advertised - the weighted arm keeps napkins secure and only dispenses one at a time when a napkin is pulled. However, what problem was this solving? I don't have a problem with napkins blowing away off my kitchen table. Nor do I have a problem grabbing for a napkin and ended up with fifteen in my fist instead of one. Furthermore, since the napkins lay flat, I would suggest that this creates more problems than it solves because it takes up more table surface area.This is way more than I ever anticipated typing about a napkin holder. I deduct one overall star because it's a needless product for reasons mentioned above, but let it keep five stars because, like all OXO products, it's solidly built and works as advertises. And it looks cool.

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

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

Question: what was the master bedroom missing?

My husband and I had to get creative when we moved into a place that had a master bedroom without a closet. We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. Then one night we just laid down to watch a movie when suddenly; BOOM! One of them collapsed and literally fell apart right before our eyes. 100 or so pounds of clothes ended up sitting on the floor until we bought our second set. Even the second set that had slightly better build quality ended up leaning to one side after about a week of ownership. Feeling completely helpless, I thought about looking into industrial clothes racks because you never see those babies bend or break in stores! So, I found this one, bought it, and we LOVE it. It is a tank! We have all of our clothes filling both sides including several heavier coats and suits and it has not bent at all. The wheels roll smoothly too and it is pretty attractive for being a garment rack. I wish we bought this in the first place. If you need a strong, functional garment rack, don't hesitate and buy this one right now!

Question: What are the silicone oven mitts good for?

I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. These mitts are okay. They are very good for being "grippy" of hot cookie sheets. The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven. The thumbs are a little stiffer than I am used to with the old fabric ones, and they stick out a little more. The mitts are kind of expensive too. I haven't tried to clean them yet, so I'm not sure how they stack up there.Definitely good and "grippy", if that is what you are looking for.

Question: How long has the author had the older product?

I bought this at a big box store, which thankfully is not too far from my home, as it had to be returned before using it. Assembles quite easily- no tools needed except your hands & patience to get the front grill snapped on.However--no set screw to hold inner adjustable tubing (they call it the pedestal) in place.. kept sliding down despite being screwed in as tight as possible. Motor head fits on this tube, and once in place, tube slid down again. There is also a great big circle base- huge.After ascertaining that the sliding down pedestal was going to continue to do just that (it slides so far down the motor doesn't fit snugly onto the tube), back it went for a refund. Very frustrating waste of time.I have a small, older Vornado that is now over 15 years old, made in USA. It's still going strong. Hopefully the newer models are as well made, as I guess I'll have to get off twice as much money. But it will be worth it.

Question: is the grinder loud?

Having ground coffee for over 40 years, this is one of the best. Does the job just fine. Is easily adjustable. Can clean burrs with relative ease. Not too loud. Probably as silent as practicable, given the task. My only concern is the electronics. What happens if they go? How much to repair? At $200 a pop, you simply don't throw it out. At least, I don't.Update: This grinder is under powered. I returned the first one because it regularly needed to be thoroughly cleaned out before it would work again. What is regularly? How about every few days or after 3 or four grinds. The second one is now doing the same thing only worse. Looks nice but ................Breville also gave me a hard time about returning it the first time until I became very firm. When you speak to a rep, they tell you what to do to make the grinder work. I can always get the grinder to work today after I clean it but tomorrow is the question. Do you use oily beans, they ask? What difference should that make to a $200 grinder? Those beans never bothered my Braun or Kitchen Aide burr machines. Bottom line, this is a very pretty grinder that's over priced and under powered.

At $200 a pop, you simply don't throw it out. At least, I don't.Update: This grinder is under powered. I returned the first one because it regularly needed to be thoroughly cleaned out before it would work again. What is regularly? How about every few days or after 3 or four grinds. The second one is now doing the same thing only worse. Looks nice but ................Breville also gave me a hard time about returning it the first time until I became very firm. When you speak to a rep, they tell you what to do to make the grinder work. I can always get the grinder to work today after I clean it but tomorrow is the question. Do you use oily beans, they ask? What difference should that make to a $200 grinder? Those beans never bothered my Braun or Kitchen Aide burr machines. Bottom line, this is a very pretty grinder that's over priced and under powered.


Question: Are attachments available?

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

Question: How many pounds of strawberries did the writer freeze?

I purchased this recently and decided to clear the frozen fruit out of my freezer that had been there awhile. I rinsed the strawberries off and threw them in. Out of a 6 lb. bag I managed to get 5 - 8 oz bottles of juice to can up for use in jelly later. Tried it with a bag of blueberries that had been in the freezer and got 2 - 8 oz. bottles of juice out of that. Have to admit though I had to cut the processing time short on it, I had to be somewhere. Probably could have gotten more out of it. This thing works wonderfully. Great replacement for my old aluminum one. AND it comes with an extra hose! As with all juicers have a place to allow the hose to dangle down after use so it can dry out. I really wish they would come up with a tool to do that. I took the clamp and moved it up to the metal part the hose comes off of to allow the hose to be open to dry out. Great price on this and it will do the same job as the more expensive ones.

Question: What is a lethal dose of melamine if ingested?

I looked up Melamine and found this warning:"Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant." However, the short-term lethal dose is on a par with common table salt with an LD50 of more than 3 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.[15] U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists explained that when melamine and cyanuric acid are absorbed into the bloodstream, they concentrate and interact in the urine-filled renal tubules, then crystallize and form large numbers of round, yellow crystals, which in turn block and damage the renal cells that line the tubes, causing the kidneys to malfunction.[16]"Why would anyone want to eat off this toxic crap or put it in their dishwasher?

Question: What needs to be in it's proper position?

I had been hesitant to get a pressure cooker for many reasons (safety being one of them and we have an electric stove and not gas), but after reading the reviews on this one I took the chance. Granted, like any device, you have to understand how it works and its "quirks", but once you learn, it is worth it.Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great. A pot roast in 50 minutes that was tender and tasty. Corn on the cob in 4 minutes, you get the idea.I highly suggest this pressure cooker, but realize you have to make sure the seal is clean, the pressure relief valve is in its proper position (parallel to the handle with it pointing to right while looking at the front of the cooker) and you will have a successful experience with this cooker.

Question: Where did the user purchase the product?

I bought this Malouf Bed Sheet Set, with some doubts,as I have never bought this kind of product on line before, but this turned out great. I saw the price and I could not resist.On top of that my husband wanted black sheets.The sheets have been washed a couple of times, they are really wrinkle resistant, and soft, very soft , something we really enjoy.We bought them in black,thinking that being black, a pretty difficult colour, they would get soon worn out but to our suprise the colour is still nice, like the first day.So we are very happy and the price was really good.Definitely I will be on the look out for more bed sets from this company.

Question: What has the user tried to restore the color?

I have to say I really love this sink saddle but I can only give it three stars because it starts to discolor within the first week of using it and no method of cleaning can restore its beautiful, original, clear quality. I've tried many different cleaning products with plenty of elbow grease but nothing works completely so it always looks dirty.

Question: What did this person buy?

Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price. Decided to try this one out after reading the positive reviews. I was not expecting much for the price, but thought that it would be a good start without spending lots of money. To my surprise, this knife turns out to be one of my favorites given that it can handle most of your slicing, chopping, scooping and dicing all with one tool!The weight is perfect since its not a meat cleaver, and it handles fine dicing to rough chopping amazingly well! You really cant beat it for the price, and even with cost aside, it is a great knife to have in your arsenal. It is my general go to knife now, and works amazingly well especially with my new found love of wok cooking (mostly thai food)

Question: Is it easy to clean the stuff that goes inside?

I wanted one of these so badly. My sister bought this for me as a gift. It is not at all easy to clean. With the first use, the silver backsplatter sheild had burned-on goodness all over it that could not be removed. Cleaning the stuff that goes inside, especially the cage that holds chicken parts, takes some skill and patience - things I don't possess in great measure. The skin of the chicken sticks to the inside. I've tried spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and it helps a little but not enough. Also, a few times the chicken that I had placed in the tray came out bad in some places. At first I thought I was being hoodwinked by the local grocer and getting bad chicken parts. I make my food to bring to work for lunch and can't have the smell of rotting chicken eminating from the microwave in my office and this seems to happen consistenly with this rotisserie. Not when I just bake the chicken in the preheated oven. Right now it's just taking up space on my table. I'm getting rid of it.

Question: What else, other than knives, did this person try to sharpen?

I own a Wusthof 7-Piece knife block set and I've tried other sharpeners, which did a fair job, but decided to spend the money for a Wusthof sharpener because I thought that it was made for sharpening Wusthof knives.I was wrong. This sharpener actually removed the sharp edge off of two knives that had been sharpened with $3.00 Harbor Freight sharpener that looks like this one, but only has a single ceramic sharpener . The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives.I first tried an old, unused knife to test the product and it turned out "fair", but then I sharpened that same old knife in my cheapo Harbor Freight model and achieved a better, cleaner and sharper edge. But, not willing to leave well enough alone, I just had to try my new Wusthof sharpener on one of my Wusthof knives.This Wusthof sharpener made it duller, just the same as it did with the old knife.Thinking that I could salvage part of my investment, I then tried to sharpen two pairs of scissors. They turned out to be a bit better than doing nothing, but scissors are not the reason I bought this knife sharpening tool.

Question: What kind of squeegee does the vacuum have?

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

Question: How much did a replacement blender cost?

Loved the blender but the motor died within 6 months. At first the blender was fairly quiet and then as time went by it got louder and louder until I had to wear ear plugs to use it. About the time I had enough of the sound, the motor died completely and threw it away. I did use half frozen bananas in the shakes and thought that maybe that is why it didn't last as long but my mom, who bought this blender about a month after we bought ours just used fresh veggies and fruit and she was just complaining this morning that it was getting obnoxiously loud.... I just bought a 20 dollar unit from Faberware. It is not as good as the Nutri Bullet but a lot cheaper!

Question: What did the author say about the original attachments?

So... I'm fairly new in the kitchen. I recently bought a nice (red) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. While the included attachments worked just fine I splurged a little and got the upgrade whip along with the coated paddle and hook. Really, I had no complaints about the original whip (actually never used it) but I can say this one works well enough and maybe the extra wires are a benefit I don't have the experience to appreciate.The build quality is solid as expected. I did not have to adjust my bowl height to accommodate the new whip. It works as expected and cleans up easily. It is what you'd expect from KitchenAid I think.

Question: What can be cooked with this dutch oven?

Oh the many things I love about this dutch oven........1. The lid is an ample sized frying pan (its like getting two iron skillets for the price of one)2. Anything and I do mean anything can be cooked in this thing3. It can go from stove top to oven to grill4. Great quality5. Inexpensive6. Heavy & durableTake the time to care for your iron. Its worth it and its really not a hassle at all. Mine are pretty seasoned by now but I still take a paper towel and wipe a thin layer of oil on both the lid and the base before cooking anything in it each time I use it (just to make sure nothing sticks). After cooking, I scrape & even sometimes use a little water (immediately dry) and then wipe with paper towel and thin layer of oil before putting it back in my cabinet. I did a lot of research and people complain a LOT about caring for cast iron. I dont find it to be difficult at all and in fact it requires less effort than cleaning my stainless steel pans. This is a bargain buy for sure!

I did a lot of research and people complain a LOT about caring for cast iron. I dont find it to be difficult at all and in fact it requires less effort than cleaning my stainless steel pans. This is a bargain buy for sure!

Oh the many things I love about this dutch oven........1. The lid is an ample sized frying pan (its like getting two iron skillets for the price of one)2. <hl> Anything and I do mean anything can be cooked in this thing <hl>3. It can go from stove top to oven to grill4. Great quality5. Inexpensive6. Heavy & durableTake the time to care for your iron. Its worth it and its really not a hassle at all.

Question: For whom did the reviewer purchase this item?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: How long did they have it for?

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

Question: What brand of juice has the consumer sealed?

I charged this up for over a day before using it. Despite the boxes of food that had been in my kitchen for weeks, I knew that RIGHT THEN all my food would go BAD if I didn't VACUUM SEAL it IMMEDIATELY. But I waited. And once it was charged, oh boy, did I have fun I initially sealed all my jars of pasta, rice, grains, beans, and dried fruit. I got through nearly 2 dozen jars (wide mouth mason jars, I used the wide mouth jar sealer) before the vacuum died and I had to recharge. Fast forward to day two, after charging for another day, I got through another 20 or so jars. I vacuum sealed more of my nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and other pantry goods that aren't used often. I've been using it for produce too. I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior. You know how quickly broccoli and blueberries go limp and squishy. These only had about 1or 2 days left max before turning to gross. Well, I cut up the broccoli into edible chunks, filled a jar, and sealed it. 4-5 days later, I opened it up, dumped into a bowl, and made delicious steamed broccoli. Same with the blueberries.Since that first test, I've used it for grapes (put half in a sealed jar, half are immediately washed and eaten). When I buy a pepper I cut it into slices and put them in a jar, and keep it sealed, only pulling out a few at a time for wraps or salads. This extends the peppers to about 2 weeks before getting slimy. This gadget will definitely help me prepare meals more quickly. I plan on buying a week or more worth of vegetables at a time, and sealing up enough at a time for one meal.I've used it on jars of Mean Green juice too. It's fascinating to see the foam head on the juice expand and rise up as you suck the air out. Husband said the juice tasted quite fresh the next morning. I usually make his juice the night before, so he's used to juice that's 12 hours old or more.This works directly on top of the wide mouth jar sealer, no tube required. Lasts long time, makes a great vacuum. I love this product.

Question: What type of mat did they get?

I was interested in this for one purpose: to hold my pastry mat in place. Though it is "non slip" - it does, indeed, move around. So when I received the non slip table mat - I went right to work making some cinnamon rolls using the non slip mat under my pastry mat. What a joy! It firmly keeps the pastry map in place - no more chasing the dough around the table! As a bonus - I had sliced my right hand on a mandolin (and then my husband sliced his finger on it when trying to put it away - we threw it in the trash!Oxo Good Grips V-Blade Mandolin Slicerand had to get stitches and my right hand is bandaged up. Of course, my hand is a bit weaker now and cumbersome with the bandages... and I was trying to open a bottle of parmesan cheese and couldn't open it. Then I remembered that the non-slip mat could be used to open bottles and used it - it worked! So I would think this would be very helpful to those who have compromised hand strength. I love it!

Question: How does the product's thickness compare to what the person excpeted?

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: How many pieces did I buy to hang things?

I bought 2 of these to help hang things higher up in our closets. In our apartment we have very high 12-14' ceilings and there are racks all the way up there. with these we are able to hang things higher and get much more space out of the closets. These are solid pieces with rounded hooks at the end. When I got the 2 they were both slightly bent and one of the hooks was bent. They are easy to bend back to the correct position so it wasn't really an issue. We keep them in the corner of the closet so they are out of the way until we need them.

Question: How long did it take to prepare two waffles?

I recently purchased this waffle maker after using a cheaper one made by a different company. I was very satisfied to find that the waffles turned out light and fluffy; the baking of the waffle was very even and the time short (only 3:30 min for two). I realize this waffle maker is a little pricey but well worth it after you've had no success with cheaper alternatives. This is a commercial quality product that is very sturdy and well manufactured. It is easy to use and makes exceptional waffles when paired with the Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle FlourGolden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour, Original, 33-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3).

Question: Is this item inclined to oxidize?

This product works very well for my white cast iron sink. It fits perfectly; supports my dishes; and I like that it does not rust and does not encourage mold growth by lying flat against the sink.This product would be even better if the rack prongs were spaced more closely together to prevent silverware, sippy cup filters, and other small items from falling through. Also, I wish that the black rubber stoppers along the bottom were also present on the four corners of the rack. The rack fits perfectly in my sink and prevents scratches on the bottom of the sink, but the four "corners" of my sink where the rack (almost) touches (and inevitably does touch/bang against my sink when I'm washing dishes)are scratched from this item.

Question: how large is the display according to the writer?

This item is lightweight and very slim in design. In a kitchen,where space is limited, we found the scale was easy to use and quickly store, in an upright position, for instance. We love that it is flat and easy to clean. For instance, if something spills on it, it is very easy to wipe off-no nooks and cranies to worry about. We've also used this for shipping the occasional package,over the last week or so, and the flat surface is excellent for balancing small packages. The readout is very large and extremely crisp and clear, which makes assessing weight a snap. It also fits in nicely with the design of many kitchens and appliances on the market today (stainless steel, or black/white appliances. Highly recommended, multi-use tool!

Question: How quickly did the iron shut itself off?

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).

Question: What does the writer do to maintain the quality?

Updated 2/28 - 4 months now and they have become a staple on the bed. Still fluffy and yet firm and absolutely no feathers. Glad I bought an extra set for the other bed. Can't go wrong with these.After 30 days they're still fluffy and holding up to use daily. I use them as support for my other pillows against the headboard. Basically to cover the gap between the mattress and headboard, but in the morning they've always found their way to typical pillow mode. I do make sure I fluff a little when making the bed, but there is no breakdown and no feathers of any kind. Will update if this changes, but great deal and no problems. Not even from Mrs allergic to everything.

Question: How many issues have been found?

Bought this over a month ago because I am so tired of using a hand can opener when I spend a lot of time cooking for a large family.

It is quiet for the most part and looks really high end but yet very low pay for this guy. LOVE IT!!!!

Question: Does the Swiss Diamond pan have straight sides?

Swiss Diamond is my very favorite cookware. I would have the whole collection if I could afford it. I bought this saucepan to replace a different brand the same size, 2.5 qts. I was disappointed to find that the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location on my Corning stove top. I could use it, even though there is a good amount of "red" showing around the pan bottom when the heating element is turned on, but this is not recommended by the stove manufacturer. I guess it didn't click in when I saw the photo, that the sides were slanted instead of straight like my older pan. I can still use this in the oven, as they work great for that, but may just end up giving it to a relative with appropriate size stove burners.
