Question: How many drinks can it hold?

I was tending bar at a friend's party and had too many drinks to carry by hand. I grabbed a large plastic serving plate and used that. At least there was only one drink left when it decided to slide across the plate and launch itself toward my friend. (It was a clear drink, and she's still my friend.) So I finally broke down and bought this tray.If you've worked in a restaurant you've probably used or seen these. Boring black tray, non-skid coating. Works just fine, nothing slips. Holds half a dozen drinks or three drinks and a small plate. Easy to wash with a brush (like this one:Libman Kitchen Brush). Might be dishwasher safe if your dishwasher uses water that's less than 150F (according to the instructions on the bottom of the tray--see uploaded photo.)Other reviewers have said this tray has a rubber smell, but mine had no smell when it arrived. I like this tray, just wish I'd picked it up a little sooner.

Question: What product do they think works better?

This looks like the GE product that [a local store] carried a couple of years ago. In fact, Hamilton Beach made that unit. However...watch out, this is about 30% smaller. The picture is deceiving. It is quite a bit smaller than the Foreman Jumbo or Family size grill. Only one T-bone can fit on this grill at a time...or two chicken pieces.The non-stick surface on my previous grill started flaking after two years of light use. I do like the removable grills, however.You will need to turn the food once, since like all indoor grills, the bottom is hotter than the top plate.Addendum:I went to a Foreman jumbo. This grill just does not get hot enough to really work well. The Foreman is hotter and produces superior product.

Question: What food can you cook on the pan?

I truly love this pan. It is worth every penny I paid for it. I usually cook with Calphalon (the original), but after researching grill pans, decided this would be the one and I have never regretted the purchase. I use this pan 3-4 times per week; it does well with fish, steak, hamburgers and the ubiquitous chicken breasts. I also grill peppers and onions on it for fajitas. Cleaning is really never a chore; don't ruin the pan by trying to put it in the dishwasher, though. Not a replacement for my BBQ, but much easier to fire up, especially during the cold 2009 winter in OR.

Question: What does the poster love?

I love the VRT juicer. I watched a few videos on youtube and they helped me decide on this model. It does everything I've put into it, with no issues at all. I do cut the pieces into smaller pieces, and rotate veggies/fruits as I juice (as the videos on you tube suggest) and have had great success. I also do greens like spinach and kale. It's small enough to stay on my countertop which I think reminds me to use it more. Parts are easy to clean and after a few tries I've gotten the hang of it and can put it together pretty quickly. For the price, features, I recommend it!

Question: What do they freeze?

I bought these because I do a lot of freezing of extra milk or fruit or vegetable juices that I make up. I wanted something that would give me a 'glassful' of juice or milk thawed out at a time. I liked what I got. I got a new juicer and the carrots that had been waiting for me to juice were going bad. I had a lot of carrots to process in one day and I needed to store them in the freezer. These were perfect! I got all the carrots processed and put in these little jars into the freezer and saved a lot of money by not having to throw out carrots or carrot juice that I couldn't drink in one day (fruit and vegetable juices that are fresh juiced need to be drank the same day if in the 'fridge.) I just finished off the last 8-ounce jar of juice today that I had stored in the freezer. I'll be repeating the process next week when I get more juicing carrots in 15 pound bags. I'm grateful to have these jars from Ball for all my freezer needs. There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon. I found that when I figured it out, those would be more cost efficient for my needs. But these are great if you don't have allot to freeze. I highly recommend these.

Question: What body part does the author have difficulties in?

I have several problems with my arms. It is extremely difficult for me to usean traditional upright vacuum/or a canister type style; where you have to pushand pull with your arms. I invested in an iRobot vacuum; which at first wasjust the ticket. Then it started having issues, EVERY single time I'd use it.And it was rather a pain to go through all the "steps", to try & find the problem.And it keeps beeping at you; and driving you NUTS !!So, for the price; I decided to try this VERY lightweight little upright.For me....it's the BEST EVER. My arm can handle the little bit of weight,and it had better suction than I ever thought it would. Now, I have only tile,and low pile carpet. So, for me this works excellent. I'm not sure itwould work as well on high pile carpet. I LOVE IT....and will buy another onewhen the time comes. Eureka has been a trusted name in vacuums for years !!

Question: What kind of brush assembly 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: What was the authors only complaint about his knife when he got it?

When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it.Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat.I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. And if I ever get around to cooking myself one of those big steamship rounds, well, I'm all ready for the slicing ! This knife is great for hams and turkey breasts as well.My only complaint (and it isn't much of a complaint) was that it could have been just a little sharper when I got it, but since regular sharpening and steeling are just part of the routine of using a knife like this, it wasn't a big deal. Just know that you may not be getting the optimum performance out of this knife if you haven't sharpened it since it arrived.If you serve much meat, I wholeheartedly recommend you consider this knife. Nothing beats it for the ability to produce beautiful slices with a minimum of effort and skill.

Question: Where did I buy the pan?

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

Question: What did they order the item for?

This foundation is decent, but nothing outstanding. We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed. It arrived in a compact package (although I think the reference to a "small parcel" in the description is exaggerating). It assembles fairly quickly and easily and seems relatively supportive. The problem is that the materials themselves feel very cheap. The wood was already chipped and appears like it won't last long (compared to a typical box spring). Depending on your situation, this may be more convenient or affordable, but I think most people would be equally if not better off with an inexpensive box spring.

Question: What causes the the plastic stems to bend and create clogs?

At first this is a very versatile knife block that can hold many things. But over time the plastic stems start to bend and create clogs in the block due to repeated use by putting your knives in. Visually you won't notice any difference, but it will harder and harder to put your knives back into the knife block and the knives won't go in as far as it use to.The only way to fix this is to remove the plastic stems from the block itself and start trimming off the bent plastic stems with a wire cutter.It was fun while this block lasted but I'm going to look for a different product that can last longer than six months.

Question: What quality is this product?

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

Question: Is the product size as advertised?

The product listed as 16 1/2 x 11 5/8, but I recieved 18 x 13 mats. Sort of a double edged sword as the larger mats mean I got a slightly better deal than already outstanding price advertized, however, as a result I had to purchase larger "commercial" sized jelly roll pans (difficult to find 18 x 13 cookie sheets).I'd recommend these to anyone who's sick of tracking down parchment paper, or wants a great buy on a great nonstick baking mat. They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times, so you can use them in the freezer, to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything.

Question: How does the grinder work in comparison to a microplane grater?

I never was very lucky with a conventional nutmeg microplane. And, I was skeptical about the Cole & Mason Nutmeg Grinder until I used it. Works beautifully. Because there are so many recipes that use small amounts of ground nutmeg, this grinder is perfect. Not only can you grind a small amount, you have your whole, fresh nutmegs stored for future use. And, freshly ground nutmeg is far superior to the little container of store bought ground nutmeg that was purchased some time ago! Microplane grater - Out. My new, elegant nutmeg grinder - In.

Question: What needs to be monitored to make sure it's functioning properly?

A fridge in the garage in a cold climate is problematic. I needed to monitor the temperature in winter to make sure the unit is functioning properly (it wasn't - garage just gets too cold). So I bought this thermometer to keep tabs on the fluctuations in temperature. Ended up having to replace the refrigerator with one that is designed to work in a colder environment (a garage refrigerator) and now I can make sure the new one is working properly.One caveat, the interior walls of the new fridge are a pebbled finish and the suction cut won't hold. I mounted a piece of tape to the wall in the location I wanted the thermometer and attached the suction cup to the smooth surface of the tape.

Question: How is the variety of covers locally described?

I have an "old fashioned" stove with electric burners versus the new-fangled smooth top ranges. I love to change the look of my kitchen by simply getting new burner covers every now and then. Unfortunately, the choice of covers locally is slim. Fortunately, Amazon has an amazing selection. So many that it's hard to pick which ones I want. These barnyard covers are excellent and have stayed clean so far after almost 2 months of heavy use. A very cool look for my kitchen. I highly recommend them if you like a little bit of a country look.

Question: What color is the comforter?

From the picture on the web, thought the color was a soft pink/peach but it's actually khaki. Wish Amazon would have simply described it as KHAKI so it's clear what the color is -- and then I would have given it 4 stars. (What IS "terragon"? The spice is spelled differently.) Yes, it's the dimensions stated and not very poofy. The fabric is different on each side. I bought it as a gift for a little girl for her small bed, for in the car, for watching TV, etc. The material is stiff but looks like it might soften in the wash, and if a kid is using it, it will be washed frequently, so that's fine by me. Pink would have been cuter, but khaki's not so bad. If you want a big poofy down comforter, this is not what you are looking for. Would be a great modern version of the lap blanket for someone in a wheelchair.

Question: How much liquid can the bottle contain?

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

Question: Where does it fit perfectly at?

My bedroom is very dusty for some reason. I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter. But I didn't want some monstrous thing sitting in the middle of the room. This was an ideal solution. It fits on my nightstand perfectly and I run in 24/7. It's not super quiet, but the white noise is actually a bit soothing. It did take a few days for me to get used to it. The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. After a month or so I took a look at the filter - it was covered in dust - but I simply vacuumed it clean and it seems good as new. Great benefit in my opinion. I hate constantly buying and replacing filters. No need here. Nice, tabletop unit.

Question: What causes the noise?

We've had this kettle for a few years now and we are ready for a divorce. The kettle has always been very loud when operating. As it aged the lever under the handle which turns on the kettle switches itself off during operation. I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle. When it does manage to stay on for the whole boil it is also slow to turn off. Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. It is a beautiful kettle and well made but, its function is less than desirable.

Question: What is great about the handle?

We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them. Now we're again finding it indispensable for number two and three (now ages 1, 3, and 5)I like it for:1) Handle installs and removes quickly and easily.2) vacuum hangs easy on the charger - some other ones we've had are tricky to pop into the charger correctly if you want it to be installed vertically.3) Power roller bar - really sucks up those cheerios quickly, even on hard floors.4) Easily removable battery - charger has a second battery charging slot so you can swap out.When I bought this the cashier at Target told me that this was what they used to clean up spills in the store. It's now almost 3 years old and the battery is starting to show it's age (It's easily removable so I'll be buying a spare soon)UPDATE: The original battery is still going strong. To eliminate the "Memory" I just ran down the battery between charges rather than keeping it on the charger "topping off" all the time. Works great now, as good as new!UPDATE2 - after 5-1/2 years the original battery is finally dead. OEM replacement part cost me $19.99 including shipping, good as new!!!!TIP: When emptying I find it handy to use a full size vacuum cleaner to get the filter extra clean.If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

Question: What have some people had trouble with that the user has never personally experienced?

These things are great for wine drinkers! I've used mine for transporting in a back back when walking/hiking and for storing leftover wine. Yes, that occasionally happens :), esp when you have more than multiple bottles going with guests around. I have labeled one for white, rose, and red, because I just feel better about it that way lol, but I'm not sure it's really necessary. I've never spilled a drop either filling or pouring, not sure why some have trouble with that. The lids are air tight, never had a leak. My only caution would be to make sure you have a safe place to store lids while drying, as they do resemble lids from other types of bottles and with 'helpers' around they could easily end up in the recycling or the trash! No problems cleaning the pouches, I just follow the directions on the side. Highly recommend these, also a great value in the 4-pack!

Question: what is the quality of the memo center?

I had been looking for a magnetic note pad center for quite some time and I just couldn't find one that I really liked. Then I came across the Forma Memo Center and I really liked what I saw. It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator. So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup. I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. They have a great weight to them and the magnetic backing is more than capable of holding it in place. They also look very nice, much better than I expected them to look. While it looks nice in the picture, it definitely looks much better in person. We have a stainless steel refrigerator so the memo center and pencil cup just blend right in. If your looking for a stainless steel magnetic memo center then you should definitely give this one a look.5 stars!

Question: This flatware set contains what kind of forks?

I found this to be a very nice, fairly light set of flatware that's standard in design, enabling you mix them in with just about any existing silverware of dinnerware patterns you have.In the box you'll find four of the following: butter knives (aka dinner knife), dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons, and tea spoons, for a total of twenty pieces. Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle, terminating at the head of the utensil. Rachel's name appears on the blade of the butter knife and the backs of the other utensils. That may be an issue for some people, but I don't mind it.While each piece of flatware is made of stainless steel and claims dishwasher safe, after about the third or fourth washing, I found a noticable bend in three out of the four larger fork prongs. The middle prongs were bent slightly forward. These were run through the normal wash cycle each time; they weren't crowded in the silverware basket; nor did the other forks from mixed sets bend. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this.

Question: What measurement of any piece of meat can this product measure?

I am by no means a grilling expert, so I'll keep this short and sweet.Does it work, yes. It tells the temperature of any piece of meat I have on the grill. It also comes with a handy sleeve that contains a guide to how hot meat should be cooked. The writing on it is fairly small, so bring your glasses!Measuring- this thermometer seems to take forever!! It claims 5 to 8 seconds, but I literally almost burned my hand and dropped it in the process while waiting to read the temperature over a 400+ degree grill. It does the job, but not very well, in my opinion.

Question: does the product work well on different sizes of garlic cloves?

I am a garlic lover and I love this garlic press. I grow garlic and use garlic daily in cooking. The garlic comes out very finely crushed. This press is made of very sturdy, solid stainless steel, It is very easy to use, easy to hold, and easy to squeeze, I don’t know why some of the other reviewers had trouble, maybe their garlic was very hard, but ripe, unpeeled garlic presses just fine for me. I have drawer full of garlic gadgets and this one is the easiest to use. It is much sturdier and stronger, not flimsy as most are. It works well on both small and large cloves. Cleaning is easy, once the garlic remnants dry in the press, just brush it out with your finger or a spatula. Does not even need washing! I was sent a sample unit in exchange for an honest and fair review.

It <hl> works well on both small and large cloves <hl> .


Question: Is the bottle sturdy?

Answer: It's extremely well and thoughtfully made.

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. <hl> It's extremely well and thoughtfully made. 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. 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 are the chances that they will replace the item?

Unfortunately, this item has turned out to be yet another example of the poor quality and workmanship that has become the current standard. No doubt made in China or some sweat shop, this kettle burned out a year and only a few days beyond its warrenty. My last cheapy kettle is over 17 years old and my nephew states that it continues to work like a charm. But such quality is only a small reminder of what once was. I am informed that it would be cheaper to replace this item than to have it repaired. Not likely!

Question: How long has the device been used for with no incident?

I love this little thing. It counts up, counts down, easy to use, easy to see and hear, sticks to my fridge, stands upright on a surface when you deploy the little stand in back, and very best of all just pops in your pocket. The latter feature is especially useful to me, as I will frequently have something going on the stove or in the oven but do not wish to be stuck within hearing distance of the stove's timer. This little device allows me to roam, even outside, confident that I won't forget something is cooking, and is handier than other portable alternatives.As for durability, I used it very frequently and without incident for 15 months. Then one day I accidentally bumped it with my shoulder while passing the fridge (I store the device on the fridge door) and the magnet failed to hold it and it fell around five feet to the kitchen floor. This knocked open the battery case door, dislodged the battery, and bent the spring that holds the battery in position. However, I easily repaired it and, bearing in mind we're not paying Rolex prices here, I considered the problem to be more the magnet is too weak to handle a careless passerby than the device is too flimsy to withstand smashing on the floor. You could of course just store the device in a safer position or place, but I elected to glue a neodymium magnet to the back to take care of it, and we've since been using the timer almost daily again without any problems.Given what I paid for it and the length of time I have now used it my ownership costis about to get below a penny a day. Given its utility and the frequency with which I use it I'd have to say that "for the money" this merits five stars, for me it has been a very useful item for little cost.

Question: What was the reviewer at first not happy about?

Love the clear glass. I have all of the Hario product line for coffee-making. Just a couple of notes - you will get a much better result using the Hario paper cone filters; actually, I think it's the only way to do it well. While I've made coffee through paper towels in the past, this dripper wouldn't work with that. Also, the flat bottom piece with the handle is plastic - which, I was at first, not happy about, but it makes a much 'softer landing' onto the top of a cup or a pot and there are tiny tabs underneath that prevent it from sliding sideways off the cup/pot. Really excellent bit of industrial design. Coffee shops in the are are using these as well. If you're a coffee perfectionist, this is the thing to have.

Question: What piece is bound to break after repeated use?

Looks great, Heavy, powerful. I have all Kitchen aid products. They look great together.The problem is with making smoothies. Frozen fruit is apparently hard to push around. It catches on the sides and jambs the blade.The blade is spun by this small black toothed gear attached to the top of the motor. It's made of a rubberized plastic type material which is molded over a metal piece. That connection will break as experienced by other users.I'll assume that that type of mixing may have not been anticipated by the engineers. All other tyes of general blending may not tax that connection as hard as frozen fruit.Therefore if you blend frozen fruit get a different mixer.I got a Waring Pro uses the same designed coupler but is replaceable for $5.

Question: how long did the product end up lasting before it broke?

First off - this is a semi-disposable item. The tank is extremely thin and cheaply made and I wonder how long it will last. The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip. I disinfect once a week with vinegar and otherwise replace the water in the tank daily. It's a little bit hard for my wife to align the tank properly when seating it in the base. My daughter loves the pink pig design and most importantly it does a great job of humidifying her room which is probably 14x14 or thereabouts. It's easy to change the amount of humidity. I put a little sticker on the dial so we could get the right amount each night.Update - broke after 3 months. The owl humidifier I got for my son's room made by a different manufacturer still works OK.

Answer: 3 months

Question: Why don't the Haan pads need to be clamped on?

I really like these cloths. They are so simple to use. They have velcro pads on the back. You just toss them on the floor and set your Haan Slim & Light on top of them and they stick. Voila. Could not be any easier.I had the Enviro steamer prior to the Haan. The Enviro pads were quite awful. They're all cotton and got soaking wet every time. They also shrunk in the wash, unlike the Haan pads ... which are microfiber. The Enviro pads were also difficult to put on and off. You have to get down and try to clamp them on, which wasn't easy because they were not shaped to fit. Compared to them the Haan is a delight to use!

Question: What has the reviewer made in this pan?

Bought this pan about a month ago, and have been using it constantly. I've made burgers and steak and they've come out beautifully -- nicely seared on the outside, juicy on the inside. It also makes the best grilled cheese (I use my tea kettle -- filled with water -- as a grill press). I also used it a few times to make grilled bread to accompany soups and salads (touch of garlic-infused olive oil brushed on the surface)and it has really infused the bread with flavor. I find cleaning relatively easy, but you need to let the pan cool first. Then I place it in the sink, squirt dishwashing liquid in it and fill with hot water. Let it soak about 1/2 hour and whatever is stuck on wipes off easily. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Question: What kind of switch would cause the fan to run only when it's hot?

Great little fan that runs on AC line voltage. I bought it to ventilate a desk with an enclosed computer cabinet. I intend to mount it to the back of my computer desk to provide ventilation when the door to the computer compartment is closed. I will need to cut a 120mm round hole for the fan and some other vent holes in the back of the desk.It is not loud, but it is louder than the PC is is cooling. In a quiet room it is definitely noticeable, but for me it is not too annoying yet, though time will tell. Perhaps when I mount it to the back of the desk it won't be so noticeable. Right not is is just sitting next to my computer blowing air out the front of the desk, quite close to me.One thing I wish it had now was an on/off switch. And even better would be a thermal switch so it would only run when its hot.

Question: What additional product pictured in the ad does the author not own?

I read the dimensions for this and I thought it would be perfect. It's my fault I want it to be a tad bigger, but I just do. Maybe just a half an inch or inch larger in either direction, and it would be perfect, but don't get me wrong this is a good little griddle. I've cooked steaks, pork chops, bacon and eggs, etc on this and it works very well. Yet, I brought this primarily for breakfast and it's hard to fit 3 thick slices of bacon and two eggs on there. I can make it work, but I don't have the egg shaper pictured in the advert. Who knows maybe I'll get that one day, but without it is hard to get everything on there without stuff running into each other. Again though, this is a great personal griddle that will fit in any cabinet and the price makes it worth it. I'll probably get a bigger one, but for now I'm satisfied with what I got. Just be sure you clearly understand that the dimensions of the grill are exactly what they say, so if you want something bigger then don't buy this grill.

Question: What brand coffee maker takes the number one position?

It is very easy to use, looks very nice, and makes great coffee. No frills, just great coffee. We use this mainly for our RV, where every time we change a power source the time would blink and need to be reset if we had a clock type. Read all of the reviews as it has some quirks, but all coffee makers seem to. We highly recommend this unit with the Melita cone shaped paper filters. It can over-flow if you put too much water in it (more than 12 cups), and, if you take the carafe out while brewing, place it back within 20 seconds, and, hold the top of the unit down as you reseat the carafe or the filter can shift, lid can pop-up, and leak. Vary the strength by adding more or less coffee than recommended. Also, when you are done with it, unplug it or turn it off (it has no automatic shut-off). Be sure the plastic filter holder is seated all of the way down(easy) and do not use a BASKET STYLE gold-toned filter (not basket style paper, either), or a gold-toned 'cone' filter if the top does not close, it must close, so either use paper, or cut down the gold filter to fit. This unit is made for cone type filters, #4.Highly recommended!! Just use common sense. Get one with a timer if you have steady electricity. This unit is no more loud than most coffee makers that boil water fast; steam creates some noise in the end as the water boils out of all units. It brews fast. Get a slower one if you want less, or longer, steam noises, or a perculator, or make it the old way. This unit works great! I think Hamilton Beach makes a great product, and most reviewers agree. Look who takes the number one position!
