Question: Where is the backup wisk stored when not in use?

I sure hope it lasts though! There been alot of comments that these frothers break down after a short while or straight out of the box. My friend bought the capresso machine and it didnt work out of the box so it was returned. This one works beautifully do far, I love the feel of the machine. It feels like ceramic sorta, it has a nice weight to it. Love the design. I hope it lasts even though it has a warranty I'm assuming because we really enjoy this little machine. The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. This comes with 2 whisks but the little circle seems to fit one only, I guess you keep the other on the machine because your using it. Well I can't say enough about how great this machine is so far. I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine.

Question: What size job is this used for?

This is a great niche tool which does it's job very well so far. It's easier and faster to use that an vacuum on most surfaces. It handles 80% of of what I used to use my vacuum or dustbuster for. Sometimes you need something smaller or other times you need the power and versatility of a big vac-but I can eally get by just using this most of the time. It doesn't run for hours, probably not as long as a hand vac if you use the roller brush, but frankly I haven't used it that long to find out. I take it out, do whatever small job needs to be downa and I plug it back in to the recharger. No issues so far and i'm very happy with it...

Question: what size pan does the writer say they will never use again?

This pan arrived and I was shocked - there were not enough words to described my disappointment. I didn't have time to reorder or go to the store and buy what I thought I was getting. I used them. I love this pan. It is small, but it controls the heat in the oven perfectly and bakes cookies like no other pan I have used. I won't use the full size again.

Answer: full

I won't use the full size again.

Question: What is the advantage to attaching them?

These can be used with and without attaching them to the dogs. Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. I like the fact that they hold the work with minimum contact with it. This helps when I am finishing both sides and I have the work flat on a work table. If you use them with the dogs they just snap on and off. I guess there are other ways to get the job done and these are just a convenience.

Question: Why did the user save needle labels?

I've been knitting for a long time, and have amassed quite a collection of circular needles. I try to store them in their original plastic zip bags, with the correct label inside, so that I always know what size I have. But occasionally I bought custom needles that didn't come in a zip bag, or brand-name circs like the Noble Needle that came on a cardboard card (which is by now a shredded piece of paper). I purchased the 100-pack of these 4x6 zip bags to create new circ bags for those unusual ones, and to replace torn, punctured, etc., old ones on my Addi needles. These are the perfect size - just the same as the Addi bags, but thicker, so probably sturdier - and quite cost-effective. My needle storage is now beautiful and uniform! (Well, except for that massive size 19 circ, which wouldn't fit in a bag this size...)

Question: How many hooks does this product have?

There's a lot of function packed into this product. Besides being able to support the weight of as many soap and shampoo bottles that you can fit on top of it, but it has a small bar and two hooks for your rag, loofah or whatever other accessories you use in the shower. If you shave in the shower you can also hang your disposable razor in the hooks. The bottom of the shelf has small openings in it so water can drain.Installation is a snap - quite literally. Once you make sure the pads on the side are attached (if they're not, it's a simple matter to reattach them). You place the shelf in the corner where you want it, and give the button a nice firm press, and boom - you're done. If you don't like where it is, you just pull the button out and start over. Since it works by pressure and not by adhesive, there won't be any marks on your tile. I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems.This might be a little pricey at first glance, but it is very well-made of quality material and does its job perfectly with no flaws, making it worth the $30 price point in my book.

Question: What size does the author suggest mounting later products?

I purchased a 30 lbs Energy Center Channel for a home theater and this is fantatsic way to be creative and use a large moutning system well bulit to hold up not just a receiver but also a center channel. The Eneregy speaker is over 21 inches wide and this system is heavy duty enough to gold it up. It looks great and the best part is I can come away from the wall to give the woffer ports plenty of space to breath, rather than push against the wall. I highly recomend for moutning large products that are wider than 20 inches and deeper than 10 inches. Awesome quality product that looks great! So pleased

Question: What material is the top made of?

It is likeable enough. It is glass with a metal twist on/off top, made in Mexico. Quality is about right for what you get now days. It is not the quality of the good old American made glass and metal and the tolerances on the threads between the metal top and the glass vessel could be better.However it does work and it is a little better than I expected in today's world marketplace.We keep Parmesan cheese in ours, to seal it for freshness we place a plastic sandwich bag over the top and secure it with a rubber band. Easy on and easy off and it works well.

Question: Where do I clean the cutting board?

Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart. Not only is it easy to clean, it's thin enough not to take up much room in storage and it's attractive enough to leave out when company is over.I've been cutting fruit on it, and yes, the knife makes marks. I've never owned a cutting board that doesn't get marred with knives. That's just how they work. Better the board gets marred than my precious knives get dull. Boards that are too hard are no good.I like this board. The only thing missing is a groove around the edge to catch drippings.This product was provided for review by Slippery Kitchen.

Question: How many times have they tried quitting soda?

I was skeptical with this purchase, but it really turned out to be everything I was hoping for.About me.... I was severely addicted to soda. I've been drinking 3-4 cans of soda a day for the past 12 years. I've tried quitting soda over 15+ times. Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer, I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. This teapot has helped me create new habits.Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces. When I got it in the mail, I was shocked by how small it looked. But really, who needs that much tea in one sitting? Another downside it that it didn't seem packaged very well. Amazon did its part, but the actual teapot box was punched through by the cast iron spout. Teapot was fine though.Why this teapot is great:It stays warmLooks stylish, authentic, and snazzyFeels heavy and sturdySeems to be made wellThe basket is easy to cleanThe teapot stays warm for a while, however, I suggest buying a cast iron teapot warmer so you can have warm tea constantly. They need tealight candles, but you can buy them over amazon or go to ikea and buy hundreds of them for less than 10 dollars.At the price of 20-25 dollars, this teapot is so worth it.

Question: what do you need to do to lock the lid?

I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers. It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks, like the canisters) It is easy to use. I use it for left overs more than marinating. It does marinate well, and it's a good sized container. It's flaws are that it can't be used in the microwave and you really can't take it and go, to a party for instance. It also isn't stackable with other marinators (I have two) and it takes up a lot of space in your cabinet. I put the lid upside down in the marinator bottom and stack them that way. The lid doesn't lock without the vacuum sealing, so once it's opened it isn't good for transporting if you're away from home, or moving the liquid left overs from the BBQ back to the kitchen without the threat of spilling. I would like to be able to take it from the refrigerator to the microwave to heat up leftovers or to a party with snacks and have the lid snap back on when it's time to go home or...... Maybe the next generation?????

Question: How many have been given away as gifts

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Question: Which pan is more expensive than the newer one?

I wondered why the price was so low on these pans, as Anolon Advanced is ususally twice the price. I was replacing a 6 year old Anolon Advanced pan just like the 10" skillet in the package. My older pan weighs twice what the new one does, and I was replacing it because the non-stick coating was worn.This pan, although lighter weight, cooks well. It is still heavy enough to produce even heat with no burning. I expect that it won't last 6 years, being lighter than it's older version, but I am happy with the price and the quality.Essentially, you get two skillets for the price of one, and this is a good buy.

Question: Where the item made by?

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

Question: Which side of a bagel should be facing inward?

This is definetly the most Beautiful Toaster I have ever seen, a Bright Candy Apple Red. The controls are excellent and the inside of a bagel etc... needs to be pointed in. The end that is cut. Some have complained about not toasting one side, I read the directions before use and it explained all of the things that were discussed in the reviews negatively. It is an Excellent Toaster ! Doesn't take up too much counter space and toasts nice size pieces of bread if you make homemade bread. I love my Beautiful Candy Apple Red Toaster and the Price too was Excellent. No complaints from me at all ! I'm very happy with my purchase.

Question: Which types of plastic containers does the author not like?

I love oxo products, with the exception of their plastic. It WILLcrack. I love these lids. Occasionally they fall apart, but usually I can get them out back together. I like this product, but not as much as the others. We had filled it with a fruity mix of candy, and were at the end when my son touched it and knocked it. Kept tipping because the lid was heavy. Not a big deal if it is full, but with their plastic, I don't like the tall or strange shaped containers. They tip and the plastic breaks or cracks.

Question: Who else is enjoying the heater?

In 2006, I bought the older version of this heater from Gaiam. The heater did not have a fancy digital display, or a remote. During the coldest months of the year, energy usage in my home decreased considerably by simply setting the dial to the energy saver symbol. I was so pleased with the savings that I purchased a second heater to be used in other areas of my home. One heater will easily heat and maintain room temperature in a 350 sq ft living space. I'm not the only one enjoying the comfort of this heater. When my cats hear the click of the knob, they run to the source.

Question: How difficult did they find it to set up the mill?

My mother finally convinced me that great bread requires freshly milled flour (apparently, whole wheat oxides after milling, so "whole wheat flour" is not the whole grain). I found this mill easy to set up and has, thus far, worked reliably for grinding wheat and rye. The resulting bread has been very tasty (and hopefully healthy as well).The mill is loud (I guess that's why they rebranded from "Whisper Mill"), but I've never seen a mill that wasn't. It appears well-made and supposedly has a high-end electric motor. It mills the 500g for my bread in less than 20 seconds. The only setting is the grain coarseness.

Question: What is small and light?

I was skeptical at first when reading the description but decided to try it out anyways. Let me tell you, it is the smallest and lightest travel humidifier i have ever seen and used. It works like a charm when you are traveling and it sits right next to you on the nightstand in the hotel. Extremely quiet and light, and the footprint of the humidifier is almost nonexistent. However, there is only one small problem, but it can be expected because of it's size and weight. You must be careful not to bump it because it can tip over easily and spill out the water all over the place. Other than that it is perfect and works very well for it's stated purpose.

Question: Does the quilt fit?

I bought the twin... the color tone is different than shown and the patterns noticeably clash. I've grown to like it, but I considered returning it.The quilt is definitely over-sized (which I like). The twin is really a full-size.I'm happy that its not stiff like some quilts can be. It also a bit warmer than most quilts and comforters... good for cold-natured sleepers.I am disappointed on the quality though. I washed it once on cold and its already noticeably faded. Also, the stitching on the sham is fraying. :/ For the price, I expected better.----UPDATE: I've had this for 3 months, and the fading has not increased. The quilt itself has not frayed, and the fraying on the sham seems isolated to that same very small section. I thought you might want to know that the twin quilt shrank a bit and is closer to is claimed twin-size than originally.The clashing patterns reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason, but its quirkiness is why I've grown to like it. I've had several quilts, and they all have different patterns sewn together. Yet, this one is unique, because the patterns seem somewhat random. They are just all different floral patterns.

Question: How does the author know the product is resistant?

There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work.

Question: How big is the K5AWW model?

I was nervous about ordering this because the picture shows a small protrusion coming out of where it would attach to the mixer, and my current beater does not have any such protrusion. However, based on other internet research it appeared to be the right beater for my mixer (K5AWW, which is a 5qt model with the bowl lift, not a tilt head model). Sure enough, the beater came and there was no protrusion and it fit my mixer fine.This was a good replacement for my chipped-white beater. If you're looking at this product, you are probably trying to replace your chipped beater too! The "burnished" finish means I shouldn't have to ever replace this one...

Question: How many irons has she bought?

I have purchased three different brands of steam iron over the last two years. Namely Black and Decker, Panasonic, and whatever brand makes the Shark. The most irritating thing about steam irons is that they shed water through the steam holes, leaving large spots of water which then have to be dried out by the iron. This is the first unit that I have had that does not do that. So I give it accolades for that. I will now give away my other irons to my daughters. The only weakness in this iron is the temperature setting control, which has no indicators on it as to heat level so you kind of have to experiment with it and not turn it too hot. Other irons indicate silk, polyester, cotton etc. But this one does not. But I will still take it over other major brands. So if you want a steam iron that does not drip or leak through the holes when you are ironing this is the one to have.

Question: when did mr coffee appear?

Recvd in excellent condition and very attractive. I have always used Mr.Coffee ever since they appeared in the 1970's I believe when Joe Dimaggio was their spokesman.On this particular model I don't like the way you have to open the top and lift out the container that hold the coffee. Prior models this part just swung out. another dialike is the little "red ball" that floated to the mark on the outside to show how many cups you were making. They have done away with this on this model.The most objectionable thing I have against this coffee maker is all the noise it makes after it has quit perking.It heaves and chugs and sputters and spits it sounds like it has emphasema... I dont get this at all, just aggravting to listen to this in the morning

Question: What do I suggest to use for making several cups of coffee at a time?

Pros: 1. This thing does a very good job of producing an even fine grind.2. Its cheap and portable. Great for camping.Cons: 1. It does take about 4 minutes to make 2 shots worth of coffee for my AeroPress.2. If you use it at the office, people will think you're a dork and the noise will annoy them.3. Further evidence that you're a cheap SOB. Don't break this thing out on a first date.This does what it does perfectly, but for making several cups of coffee at a time, consider a good electric burr grinder. You can get one that works fine for about $80. I did, and this thing went in my kitchen camping box.

Question: What makes the process go quicker than usual?

I do not use the julienne tool but the peeler alone is worth the money. It is the best peeler I have ever used. It is very slightly serrated and has never gotten dull. If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. You can get into a fast rhythm instead of the peeler sliding off the veggie/fruit every couple of strokes with a flat-bladed peeler.

Question: What did 2 of the 3 stones look like that the reviewer received?

So, I just paid almost 25 dollars for some rough chunks of glass. They look nothing like what is pictured, nothing. One is significantly smaller than the other two, with a rough jagged spot. The product pictured looks like smooth stones. The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs. And the third looks like a cast off from a glass blowing place. Who knows. Terrible. I wouldn't normally leave such a bad review, but these were ridiculous.

Question: Why is it possible to see the contents of a cup through its lid?

This dabba is just what I was hoping for. The stainless steel cups (7) fit perfectly in the larger container, and the lid fits tightly even with the spoons (7) in the individual cups. The clear lid is nice because the spices look so pretty inside of it. The dabba feels well-made. It is sturdy and has a little weight to it. I think it will last me a very long time.

Question: What is the pan perfect for doing?

I love this pan and my other Calphalon pans! This is the perfect size for frying up 2-3 eggs and makes for easy clean up. I can't believe that I can fry eggs without oil or butter! Just use one of those silicone spatulas and you're good to go. Maybe the one thing I don't like about it is the really smooth bottom that makes it hard to keep it straight on my crappy coil stove. I also like that it's light and comes with a lid. I'll continue to by from Calphalon! You should check out their grilling pan and jumbo fryer as well.Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill PanSimply Calphalon Nonstick 12-Inch Jumbo Fryer

Question: What is the weight of the man that I had sit in the chair in order to test its strength and comfortability?

These are great. They are very comfortable as they have a give to them that lets them almost form to you. Yet are strong enough to hold 1000 ponds. I had a 600 pound man sit in one and he said it was very comfortable for him and obviously did not break. I also have had people who are skinny and they have said it was the most comfortable folding chair they have sat in too.

Question: What is the brand name of the more costlier coffee press?

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

Question: How many cups are in the set?

I have a lot of good grips products and overall they have been a very dependable brand for great kitchen and household items. These measuring cups are very nice. There are four of them, all heavy stainless steel. You can a 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup measures.The smallest one, 1/4 cup, is a little bit tippy, but the others are all solidly flat. You can scoop with them, measure your ingredients, heat on the stove and they have a ring so you can either keep them clipped together or pull them off to use individually. Recommended!

Question: What was the other brand name of the product the reviewer owns?

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. When it arrived, I was surprised to see that it is a little better quality than the ones I own that were sold under a different brand name - Mrs. Anderson's. I would have expected them to be the same since both are products of "Harold Imports". But the zipper on this Harold's Pie Crust Maker is a better quality and is sewn in more neatly, making a perfect circle (as compared to the sloppy, irregular circle on my Mrs. Anderson's). Also, the plastic seems to be a slightly heavier gauge than mine. The plastic is also very clear (as compared to the cloudier plastic of mine), but it's possible that is because this is brand new and mine is several years old.

Question: What about the design caused a less than perfect rating?

I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99, but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. It's the same brand, but the baskets have a different type of design on them compared to BB&B. I gave this product four stars because the basket design (and maybe this is why BB&B has the different design) allows for smaller items to slip through. I really like this item though. It holds items and stays in place. I also have a separate little piece from a previous shower basket that keeps it from slipping down the shower pipe (if it were to try to slip), but so far I don't think that it's slipped at all. It's sturdy and can hold a decent amount of weight in it. It's still new - so I hope that it stays rust free - it's supposed to though and I'll update this if it doesn't. Good product!

Question: How do the sheets feel?

Two things came to our attention after getting this out of its bag, the pattern looks great and the comforter is not as soft as we expected (based on prior experiences of course)For the price, you cannot go wrong with this set, the Queen size (which we ordered) includes the fitted sheet, flat sheet, the comforter, 2 pillowcases, and 2 shams. The quality? It is good and above average, note that Amazon itself suggests to use this for the "guest room, a dorm room, or a first-time apartment", this should give you an idea of what to expect.As other reviewers have stated, this barely fits the bed size it is intended for, not enough overhanging as it covers the top of the mattress and that is pretty much it. While the comforter is not soft enough it looks and feels good (it is also very light), the same cannot be said about the sheets which feel cheap to the hand.If you are on a budget I can definitely recommend these, all you need is included in the bag at an affordable price and the pattern on the comforter will look great in your room if combined correctly with furniture and accessories.

Question: What got caught in the Vitamix?

I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks.I can't speak to other's expectations or results, but the makers bill this blender as an affordable alternative to a Vitamix.It is not. It doesn't come close.It blends just as nicely as the ~$100 Cuisinart I previously had, but it is nothing close to the Vitamix 5200 it is temporarily replacing. The speed and smoothness are legions away from the Vitamix. I can't fathom how anyone could even try to compare the two. I've used 20 year old Vitamixes that blend more smoothly.I'll keep it and possibly use it as a travel/back-up/whatever blender, but there really isn't a comparison. I'd happily give it a higher rating if the makers weren't trying to say the devices compare to each other. It's an absolutely decent blender, but any comparison to a Vitamix is completely out of line, ATMO.

Question: How is the feeling of the towel?

First, just considering this towel set as a towel set, it has to be one of the best I have ever encountered. The bath towel is silky and absorbent and only gets better with laundering. Ditto for the hand towel and wash cloth. I have never encountered a set that I like better, even in upscale hotels. In fact I would be delighted to have a bath robe made out of this toweling fabric.Why only four stars though? My thrifty self balks at the MSRP. Even with the generous Amazon discount I would have to be feeling particularly flush to buy myself another set.Great towels, maybe the manufacturer should consider adjusting the price.

Question: Where di the user by this item from?

Decided to pick up a set of these mostly because the price on Amazon was so good.I used them right away to make Zucchini Bread. They are absolutely wonderful. I already added another set to my cart because 4 just wasn't quite enough with the recipe I have.I read that some buyers stated they are hard to clean. I didn't have any problem with anything getting stuck in the seams. I did used a non stick spray (Pam) in them so that might make a difference.I keep a toothbrush in the kitchen exclusively for dishes and if something along the way might stick I am sure this will solve that problem.I love this particular brand and don't see at this price you can go wrong with these. They are sturdy where I have had some that were thin and flimsy but not these. They are a good quality with some weight to them. I am extremely pleased

Question: what does the writer suggests using to make it possible to move this item?

First a negative: This unit is big and is not easy to move around or to get out of the box however it comes well packed and protected and had two heavy duty plastic ribbons around it which helped to move it in to the house. Without a dolly there's no way one person could lift it or take it up stairs.Some Positives:What a great idea to have a freestanding unit rather than the old fashioned window installed units. The entire back of my condo has sliding glass doors rather than regular windows and since the master bedroom is at back and that's where the unit was needed that worked out great. The exhaust hose was easy to install and to run out through the door. Though the weather has been incredibly mild this year the few days I used it it cooled the room well and the remote was nice to have to adjust the temps without getting out of bed.Using it caused my electric bill to go up but obviously not to the same extent using central air does which is convenient especially for nighttime only use.
