Question: What was it too much of a hassle to do?

We just purchased a new gel foam mattress which was highly rated by Consumer Reports through Costco. It was shipped to us so we didn't have a chance to try it out before we bought it. It is like sleeping on granite. Long story but it was just too much hastle to return. A friend suggested a memory foam topper to see if it would make a difference.After much research and reading the reviews here on Amazon we purchased this one. I'll make this short and simple. It arrived well packaged and fully opened instantly. No odor at all and sleeps cool. Most importantly these three little inches turned our granite mattress into a comfy cozy yet supportive bed. Perfectly fits our California King mattress. At last I'm getting the sleep that I have been craving. Fantistic purchase especially considering the very reasonable price.

Question: what helps prevent the glass from sweating?

Love this elegant glass mug for my tea! The design is so very simple yet so very elegant yet the glass is nice and thick. I don't think the thickness would protect it much if I were to drop it onto the floor but the double wall of glass does help keep my tea hot and keep my glass from sweating. I hate when my tea gets cold too fast, or when it starts to sweat down the side of my cup all over my desk. Now I don't have that problem. The lid I found to be a very useful idea, for I can string my bag of tea bag through the top and then hang it down for my desired amount of taste. Now I don't have to fuss about where to put my string and it just looks so very elegant. The only down side I have to about the mug is that I wish it would hold more than a cup of tea for sometimes I find myself wishing it was a little bit bigger.

Question: What kind of floor does it not work well on?

This has to be the worst designed vacuum I've ever purchased! The air filter is located in the front, and is down near the floor so that when you try to vacuum on wood floors, the exhaust actually blows the dirt and pet hair away from you. It's as if you're actually CHASING the dirt! When you FINALLY 'catch' the dirt, it gets caught up in the filter which is stupidly located INSIDE the dirt canister. It's a decent-sized dirt canister, but so much of the dust gets caught up at the top and sticks in the filter so you have to clean it prematurely, and it's very difficult to clean out the pleats in the filter. I used this vacuum a couple of times, and then gave it to my local Goodwill. Maybe someone else won't mind all the negative aspects of this vacuum cleaner...

Question: How much does their TV weight?

Exactly as described, except... that I expected to assemble it. It came assembled. I have a 50" plasma TV that weighs about 60 pounds on it and it holds it perfectly.I noticed that one of the reviews mentioned the underside of the top was unfinished. The one I received IS finished on the underside of the top. I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza to make room to place a dialog speaker in front of the stand.It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong.Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly.

Question: What size bed was purchased?

I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. As with any pressed board furniture quality can well suck. I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well. It is by no means looking new anymore, and I may replace it in the near future, but I would imagine if the bed was not moved often and built well the first time, this platform bed would last for many years. The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items. Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability.

Question: what is the b70 better suited for?

This brewer is functionally the Platinum B70 Keurig brewer. It accepts the standard K-cups and produces an exceptional single cup of coffee on demand. The Keurig brewing system is easy to use, produces little mess while producing great cups of coffee.This brewer includes the filter system and the reusable My K-Cup that must be purchased with the other systems. The stainless steel exterior and slightly different design is the most visible difference. Internally, this is a better-constructed brewer, less prone to problems with a higher customer rating than the B70 system.Having used both, I find this system to make less noise with a sturdier feel. Controls are about the same. I feel the B70 is slightly easier to filling with water but not so much as to make this a buying decision. If you make one or two cups of coffee a day, go with the B70. If you make six to ten cups of coffee a day, I would consider this machine.

Question: How much does a lid cost without shipping and handling?

I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know). Seeing all the negative comments below about the Cuisinart, I sadly have to respond that all the flaws of the Cuisinart apply equally to the KitchenAid. Despite using the KitchenAid sparingly and with care, I have broken 2 bowls (at $40 + $9 S&H each) and one lid at $20 + S&H. Although the KitchenAid motor is well made, the plastic bowls are flimsy and poorly designed. In addition the bowl leaks down the side if liquid is blended. The lid is exceedingly hard to clean. Consequently, I am thinking of replacing my KitchenAid with the Cuisinart.

Question: Which brand is the product being reviewed?

I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans. Even though the USA pans are a bit more expensive, they are WELL worth the money.I do always grease my pans before baking. I generally use butter to grease them and sprinkle with fine sugar rather than flour. Makes a nice coating on the outside of your cakes and releases just as well as flour.You won't want to serve out of them. As with any coated pan, metal isn't their friend, but just cool your cakes and they slip right out onto a serving plate. I never wash mine in the dishwasher. You can, but it isn't advisable..again they do have a clear non-stick coating. They clean up quick and easy with a sponge and a little dish detergent.Absolutely the best pans I have ever owned and I have a lot of pans. Try them, I'm sure you'll love them too.

Question: What would make this item better?

I've brewed a number of cups with this press and thus far, I have nothing but complimentary words for it. I only have a blade grinder, so my ground aren't uniformly course...I have quite a few "fine" grind powder in my brew, but the press seems to filter most of this powder from my final pour. I think for the cost of this little press, I would be hard "pressed" to ask for more.The carafe and plunger are not the most hearty of materials. The glass is a little on the thin side, but then, so is my drip maker carafe. The plunger seems to work fine, but we'll have to see how it holds up under long term usage. All in all, I am greatly pleased. I think if there is anything I would add or like more than what this press offers is a larger capacity.

Question: How are the sides defined as?

Many lunch totes on the market are bulky; this one is not. It has very soft sides, so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed.One nice this is that this is made from neoprene and is easy to clean.One drawback is that the zipper is hard to close sometimes...and to be specific, hard to get started to close. Once it gets going, it moves well.I'm not totally convinced that the 4 hours this product claims to keep food items insulated is accurate. I put it in the our refridgerator at work and my food got colder, even after an hour. I tend to think the opposite would happen if I left the bag at room temperature.All in all, it has a nice look, and the shoulder strap is at a really great length. I'd say it is durable enough for most people.

Question: When did I find the seal is not fixed?

It seems the seal that keeps the water in the bottom of my steamer is defective. I thought I had it fixed by pushing it in a little, but last night came home to water all over the counter and floor after setting it out for several hours to be ready to turn on when we got home. Despite being a mess to clean up, it seems dangerous to have electrical appliances sitting around in pools of water. Save your box and receipt, so you can return it if needed. I was disappointed to discover that you cannot cook rice and veggies at same time (unless you put the veggies IN with the rice. So I am upgrading to a steamer which allows me to do this. This was a good purchase, I think, to figure out whether I would use it and what I really wanted in a rice cooker/steamer. I just wish I had my $30 back.

Question: Where should the Taylor have been calibrated?

I bought this themometer along with a Taylor Classic to replace my old and inaccurate probe thermometers. I measured ice water and boiling water with each to check the 32 and 212 temperatures. The CDN measured 33 and 211 while the Taylor measured 36 and 190 degrees. I was able to adjust the accuracy of the Taylor some by using the hex bolt on the back but this calibration should have been done at the factory. Also since the Taylor calibratrion was off high at the low setpoint and low at the high setpoint it cant be accurate in the entire temperature range. I would give the CDN a 5 star rating except I've had poor reliability on previous digital thermometers. I'm hoping for this one to work well over time.

Question: What will you need to do to the screws?

Losing counter and storage space, needed a solution. Cart is right height to underside counter top and color to oak floor. Laid out unit by grain to build and GORIILA glued all mating/joint construction. You will have to really torque screws to bottom the heads for sturdy construction. Drawer stop can be positioned to miss items and bottom not as thick as cart sides bit glued in place makes it stronger. Leaf stops are different, but have successfully supported coffee makers, toaster and machines for months. Had misgivings about wheels, but all I hear is nice cart and great wheels. Assembled glued correctly it is 5 stars.

Question: How much was paid for the knife?

Yes, it's a little flimsy, but on the whole it's been working great for us, after several months of daily use. With the benefit of the other reviews (thanks!), I knew to order the longer bread knife, and despite its shaky appearance it has been holding up very well. I love the removable crumb catcher! And for us, the slices are even and the size is fine. We purchased this to replace an old plastic model on uneven raised legs and are much happier with this design. Although it's rather long, the low profile actually makes it easier to use and less of a storage problem than our previous slicer. I'd call it a good buy.Update, about a year later: The enthusiastic slicer in our family has managed to knock off one of the plastic strips, but that's easy enough to work around so doesn't create a problem. Most of the wood strips have become detached though, so something needs to be done. My handy husband wants to reattach them with tiny nails, but my solution is just to buy another one. Well over a year's worth of solid performance doesn't seem unreasonable for $15, so although we'd be happier if it were more durable, we like the way it works otherwise and I don't see any better options so am about to just order one more.

My handy husband wants to reattach them with tiny nails, but my solution is just to buy another one. <hl> Well over a year's worth of solid performance doesn't seem unreasonable for $15 , so although we'd be happier if it were more durable, we like the way it works otherwise and I don't see any better options so am about to just order one more. <hl>

Yes, it's a little flimsy, but on the whole it's been working great for us, after several months of daily use. With the benefit of the other reviews (thanks!), I knew to order the longer bread knife, and despite its shaky appearance it has been holding up very well. I love the removable crumb catcher! And for us, the slices are even and the size is fine. We purchased this to replace an old plastic model on uneven raised legs and are much happier with this design. Although it's rather long, the low profile actually makes it easier to use and less of a storage problem than our previous slicer. I'd call it a good buy.Update, about a year later: The enthusiastic slicer in our family has managed to knock off one of the plastic strips, but that's easy enough to work around so doesn't create a problem.

Question: What brand of cup is this?

I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep and it's a nuisance using a regular measuring cup. Knowing this was made by Oxo, I assumed everything about it would be "user friendly".The concept of the angle, and being able to see where the water is, really does work. And the handle is very comfortable to hold, but, when it comes to wanting to get 2/3 of a cup of water, the numbers are relatively small and thin and not that easy to read. The major measurements such as 1 cup is larger and thicker but the smaller ones, in red, disappoint.

Question: What are the pros?

Ok enough with the puns. I have an older hoover upright animal and a dyson animal. Did I mention I have animals? Comparing these 3 products is not really equal. The Dyson is over 5 yrs old and the other hoover is over 1yr old. That being said the Dyson still performs as well as the newer hoovers. As far as this model I am really impressed with it. It does clean the carpets really well. I did the 2 pass test with this and the older hoover. I vacuumed a room with the previous model, then went back over it with this one. I got almost 2x as much dirt in the canister as with the previous hoover and this was me vacuuming the room in sequential fashion.Pros:+ very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessoriesCons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value.Thanks for reading my review.

Question: How do they prep more than two?

Finally, a way to cook a decent steak on an indoor stove. The grill ridges are deep so the steaks really get grilled instead of fried.This grill can handle two large steaks, like T-bones, at a time. When we want to make more than two, we cook the first batch to medium-rare or so, then move them to a regular iron skillet with some coarse salt in the bottom, while we make the second batch in the grill pan. The first batch goes to those who like their steaks well-done. Both skillets need to be good and hot!It's not too bad to clean up -- provided you keep it very well seasoned, and get the toothed Lodge Grill Pan Scraper 2-Pack (overpriced imo, but I would not want to tackle cleaning this skillet without it). The fingers in the scraper fit the grill ridges very well. If you add some hot water to the hot grill pan, and let it soak in a bit, the scraper will pull the gunk out.

Question: how much saurakraut do they normally make?

Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. I worry that my simple old two-knife shredder will wear out so I purchased this item as a backup. Firstly, the "current" model Weston Shredder does not have the plastic or laminate base shown. It has a thin, non-laminated, non-plastic wood base that will warp with usage. The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable. The blades are held in place with hand-hewed chips of wood wedged and glued into place. I think there is more chance of this slicer self destructing that there is of my old model wearing out.

Question: What tends to get into the author's food as they cut?

So after reading the reviews, I have been careful with my fingers while using this device and I'm happy to announce that I have yet to slice them off! However, please be very careful because the blade is very sharp. I prefer the thin slices of veggies and potatoes over the juilenne so I rarely use that side. I also have a problem with the lip of the holder being cut into my food. It seems that the closer I get to the blade, the more plastic it slices from the holder. I've started to just slice as low as possible with the Mandoline and slice the rest myself with a knife. Problem solved. My favorite is thin potato slices so I can make homemade potato chips.Update: So I figured out the slices of plastic problem. I had it flipped the wrong way. Just rotate it and everything will work perfectly.

Question: How did the writer maintain the filters before buying new ones?

I've had my Bissel Vac for about 3 years now and have been using the same filters that came with it-I washed them regularly and they held up well. I decided it would be a great idea to start fresh and get another 3 years out of the machine and picked up this set and am very glad I did! While washing the old filters out and reusing them was great while it lasted, I certainly won't miss them as after replacing them with these the Vac is working like new (with increased suction) so that was a pleasant suprise. The parts are genuine Bissel products so they fit perfectly. I purchased all 4 filter/parts from Amazon and got them for less than what I could have from Bissel's website. Very pleased with my purchase.

Question: What kind of family can use this machine?

Durable ,fast, easy to clean. Pulse is the best option- when on ON - so fast ,perhaps too fast. I like security fixture .Big enough to cooking for a big family and work for family of 2 as well. Fitting well is narrow- so its required little more chopping 'for example its fit 2 big carrots ,but medium to big potato have to be split ,and if you don't mind to cut cabbage on smaller chunks - cole slow became a breeze, Does very well for puree, shredding - very good even slicing ,but potatoes wouldn't be round ,unless using small ones. Would recommend to buy, as for that price -its a kitchen delight.

Question: How did the water taste according to the reviewer?

I've always wanted a home distillation unit. What I've usually found are pieced together units that belong in a garage. This unit is very well constructed, streamline designed distiller that will seamlessly fit in any over-gadgeted kitchen (like mine).Living in AZ, the water here is full of dissolved minerals. My first use of this unit was to START OFF with carbon filtered water. As described how this unit functions, about 5 hours later the unit completed its gallon cycle and turned itself off. After leaving sit for at least 1/2 hour (per safety instructions), allowing it to cool, what I discovered in the stainless steal pot was a film/sludge of concentrated mineral deposits that required a run through with the included anhydrous citric acid crystals to fully clean the gunk off of the stainless steal. Having already purchased 4 two liter glass pitchers, I emptied the distilled water into the pitchers and let it cool. AMAZING TASTING WATER!.This is easy to use, looks great, is well constructed and fits perfectly along side Vitamix's, Kitchen Aids, Cuisine Arts and other top notch appliances. I'm hooked! They recommend letting it run overnight. I do too. The fan makes a little noise, but is bare able.

Question: What model is the person reviewing?

Before I make a purchase I always check the reviews on Amazon. I did not however purchase the NB-900 thru Amazon because I wanted to be able to return it to my local box store in case the bad reviews proved true for me too.I've always juiced my kale greens and apples and had to get used to the smoothie texture. I call mine a "thickie" because I put less water in the 32-oz. Blending for 60 seconds macerates the kale. However, following the advice of "TheFruitarian" on You Tube I now blend for no longer than 30 seconds. This makes the kale more "al dente" and I'm okay with that. Adding a banana makes the drink smoother.When I add less water the smoothie has the consistency of applesauce.This is my 4th day on kale/apple smoothies and I'm not looking back.

Question: How are the sidewalks of the glass?

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

Question: What does the author have?

I bought these pans thinking that this style/size would be a universal size for all types of tins. I already own two of the Wilton Jumbo pans and assumed these would be the same. These cups are wider than wilton, resulting in a shorter, fatter muffin than if I put the same amount of batter into the Wilton pan. Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. These may say non-stick, but I always spray as I do not use liners when baking jumbo muffins for our local cafe.If you are looking for a taller muffin pan, I would recommend using Wilton's:Wilton 6-Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan

Question: What is the cookware brand name?

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.

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.


Question: What size of can is hard to open?

I like that this doesn't leave shavings and paper shreds along the top to contaminate the food. Clean, quick cut and would recommend highly.***Update*** I would also like to note, that if you like to "drain" foods (think Tuna) you will not be able to "squeeze" the liquid out as you would with a traditional can opener. The lid will not go back into the can once removed. Also, with large cans (e.g., 50 oz, you will find it more of a challenge to open the can overall). I still like the product a lot, but wish I could "drain" my cans with more ease.

Answer: 50 oz

Question: how many rooms get cleaned?

I bought this because I didn't want to get on my hands and knees and scrub floors..........no, the vacuum part does not work particularly well, but the cleaning and drying are nothing short of spectacular. I use the right detergent, I don't stint, and my results are impressive. I do six rooms and a hallway, all wood and tile, in about an hour. It fills the tank three times to get the job done. No back problems, no knee problems, and the little scrubbers do all the work. This jewel is about as heavy as a normal upright vacuum cleaner.....it takes maybe three minutes to thoroughly clean the tanks and filter when I'm done. Now my floors have that incredible squeaky clean feel for my bare feet.........I do my home once a month, with some manual touchups in the kitchen.

Question: What might happen to one of them?

We have bought three of these in the past 2 years. They wash and dry very easily but shrink up a little, so this time I ordered the 30 x 40". My mother-in-law sits on them in her favorite chair so we fold them over a little. This one may even end up being cut in half. I washed it and it's still pretty large, so we'll see if we just fold it or cut it. (you can cut them and they don't fray)This is so nice for a person who sits for long periods. It also keeps her chair clean, so it's great to have a couple of these to wash and keep changing them out.This is thick and cozy and did not shed much at all in the washer and dryer, so it's a two thumbs up from us.(little update: we did end up cutting this in half and it's still plenty big for her chair, so she now has two more to use instead of one)

Question: How many muffin pans did the reviewer buy?

You want to make real muffins for a change instead of those tiny things that we grew up with, well this is the pan for you. This makes muffins just like the large ones you can buy in the grocery store and the pan is really incrediable. What would you except from Wilton. I have always been happy with Wilton's products and this is standing right up there to what I have expected. I bought two pans so I can make one set of muffins for hubby and a different set for me. Works beautifully and cleans wonderfully. They will last me for quite some time.

Answer: two

Question: What is the item labeled as?

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

Question: How big is my place?

I bought this can because of the shape and it is a step can. I did not want one of those touch-less kind that seem to quit working quickly and use batteries. I have this same brand in stainless for another location, for the few years. It still looks and works like new. I needed a can that would fit into a narrow space, and it did not have to match my kitchen. This does that, as well as being made well. The very top of the bag does show on the outside when it is closed, but I don't have any problem with that. This does give a benefit. It makes the bag replacement fast and easy. Because the can has a lip at the top that holds the bag securely without having to use any special retaining devises. Or like my other can; having to remove the inside can and specially secure the bag though a hole. This one just uses that top lip to hold the bag and it is easy and fast. I like it's rear wheels, which make it easy to pull in and out of my little place it have for it to sit. The maker has designed this one to do the job without having to deal with a lot of other stuff.

Question: Is this humidifier quiet or loud?

I bought this without bothering to read the reviews first and what a mistake and waste of money that was. This humidifier is LOUD; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. Another reviewer said they had to get a sound/sleep machine to duplicate the sound it makes. Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck! And it leaks! Not just a little, either and not something just a hand towel can absorb. Noisy, leaky and wholly unsatisfactory! I already own the Crane "Penguin" and couldn't be happier with that but I didn't want to have to drive all the way to the store that has them. I should have because now I'm going to have to do it anyway. Also, the filters get nasty in a very short period of time and I'm not crazy about trying to find them or wasting money changing them out when all I want to do is add a little humidity to the air. After all, you're adding clear tap water not something you dredged out of the drainage ditch. Amazon needs to add a "zero" stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return!

Question: Which model of product does the reviewer use?

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 color was the mixer?

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: Why did the poster dislike her old set?

Trying to get through baking with a single set of measuring spoons had become a pain in the neck. If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using. I decided I needed a second set of measuring spoons -- right up until these spoons arrived. Now I don't use my original set because these offer a "dry" and a "wet" spoon for each measurement. Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish.The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil.

Question: What is one way to mitigate the delicacy of the whipping attachment?

This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. It works quickly and easily. I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the "whipping attachment," but I don't see it as a problem. I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. One does need to make certain that the milk "film" that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed.

Question: What is the feeling used to describe the reviewer's opinion of the product?

There is going to be more blending happening at my house! This blender is aces. Simple to operate, and really gets the job done well and fast. The container holds 64 ounces, so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to.It's so simple, a high/low switch and an on/off switch. The instructions are short and simple, too. It very likely will be the last blender we'll ever need!I had given up on blenders because they were complicated and failed quickly. Too much to figure, and too easy to go wrong. So I love this one!

Question: How long have they been using their stainless steel scrubber?

For now with the more limited use of this scrubber I'll reserve my 5 star KUDOS after a year from now. Otherwise it's a nicel little scrubber. I still haven't given up the stainless scruffy one we've used for over 14 years but I'm working on it. This one doesn't seem to hold the food gook like the wooly version does. And a shake or two lets out most of the water. I'd like a place to actually hang it up but so far haven't figured that one out. The round tab I assume is for scrubbing at a difficult spot or along the rounded curves of the bottom inside of the bap but so far haven't taken it up on that. I think if that is the prurpose it could stand to have a little bit bitter one or even a triangle with rounded corners in different sizes to fit different sizes of corners. But it does ok with stainless pans too. So far no damage to them or the cast iron pans.
