Question: On what side was the AC unit weighted?

I thought this was a large tray at first but it's only about 5" wide and around 21" long. It was easy to install and put together. I did it by myself without my husband helping me. I just followed the detailed instructions included in the package and got my drill and went at it. My AC unit was weighted on the left side so I had a bit of difficulty balancing the weights just right so that the plank carried most of it instead of the window, and it took me about 2 tries... then I just readjusted my AC a bit off center to balance it further. The AC was 67 lbs. so It was a bit of a struggle, but this made it so much easier to install. Great buy, just make sure you read the instructions.

Question: What is the screen near the top used for?

With one package of 2 filters that fit pur and brita filter pitchers, among others worldwide, you get the ability to turn water into drinkable water with just gravity. These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area. Once done, each filter in the 2 pack will filter 40 gallons / 151L of water. The screen you see near the top is to keep the carbon inside the filter and not let it float out into the unfiltered water section.These are very well made and designed to fit most pitcher filter designs which simplifies stocking one filter for whatever pitcher you use.Made in switzerland the quality is top notch. Multilingual instructions are provided on the box.

Question: How strong are these bags?

I bought these for my Sears Kenmore Canister Vacuum. I have been using these after market bags for three years and there is zero performance difference in these versus the OEM bags sold at Sears other than the price. Well, unless you just happen to like yellow bags versus white ones in your vacuum. They fit perfectly, hold as much and never rip. I love Sears appliances but I refuse to pay twice as much for their after market products that have no measurable advantage. Model compatibility check was super easy at this vendor.

Question: How does it match other pieces?

This is a great 3qt saucepan! I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly! The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did! I am very happy with this purchase!

Question: What was the reviewer's first impression of the design?

When I first received this, I was very disappointed. It looked like water stains all over the spread. It did not look like a design.I could not figure out if this was suppose to look like this or not. So I contacted customer service and they didn't know either.They were gracious enough to reissue a new one and I sent the other back. I can now say that the new one is no better.It isn't a bad comforter for the price but know that when on the bed, it gives a faded, very used look. This is the style I now assume. It is made to look that way. So if you like the worn out in spots, faded look, this is the quilt for you, like a nice pair of worn out jeans. I think the first one was worse and I'm keeping this one. My living room is dark and it will work. But don't expect it to be a uniformed color like it shows in the picture. The backside is, but the front isn't.

Question: Which kind of waffle flours are suitable for this machine?

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

Question: How did the reviewer describe the instructions?

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: What did the reviewer get the connectors out of the poles with?

I was glad I read the reviews before purchasing because several of them had tips for assembling the racks if you were doing it alone (it would work better with two people.) I had no problems assembling the first two and assembly time went down significantly on the second one. For the third rack, the connectors were already in the poles on two of them but were askew and I was assembling them in a new house with no tools. Even if I had had tools, I was leery of gripping the threads of the connector with a pliers to twist them out of the pole and possibly damaging them. I called the company and explained the problem and they sent me two replacement poles and two connectors. Later I was able to get the connectors out of the poles without damage using pliers so could have assembled the rack with the original parts, but I found a use for the extra pole and appreciate that Whitmor replaced the parts without charge.

Question: How many items are included in the product pack?

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 happened to the last timer owned by the reviewer?

I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud. This is it! Thanks to the complaints below I knew this was the product for me. No you can't hear it 3 rooms away, but neither does it blast my ears off just trying to set the thing.So far it works great. it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer. If you want loud get the CDN TM4 Count Down Big Digit timer.

Question: Why the kitchen towel looks cheap?

First of all, it is only printed on one side - the other side is white. Because of this, it looks cheap. You have to keep it folded a certain way or the white side will ruin the look. Not only that, it feels cheap and doesn't feel like quality kitchen towels you might get anywhere other than Walmart. It's also not absorbent! I mean really? What use is a kitchen towel that doesn't absorb? I thought microfiber is supposed to be absorbent. This doesn't feel like microfiber. It feels like cheap polyester. For the price, I expected better. The only this has going for it is that the print is cute, the print that's only on one side that is...

Question: What location of the Wok does the heat gather at?

"The heat will not spread evenly" when my 80 year old Chinese grandmother first saw this wok and she was right.When you're using this Wok on an electric stove the heat is completely concentrated at the bottom, so things get super hot, stuck, and then eventually burn at the bottom.I eventually got a Green Earth Wok by Ozeri. I know it doesn't come with a lid and it is more expensive but that Wok lets me have the electric burner running with red hot coils and not burn my food at the bottom. With Chinese cooking you need heat and this one from Cuisinart doesn't spread it evenly.

Question: What knives are they?

Shun knife's are unbelievably sharp and well made. I started my knife collection with Global, not bad but nothing like Shun. When I was in Sydney, I found a knife ship at the fish market that had a great selection and was introduced to Shun. I've wanted a Santoku and was going to go Global to go with the collection but when I was told about Shun (did some research on the web at my hotel that night), I went back the next day and purchased this knife. It's very, very sharp, keeps an edge much longer than my Global's ever did. If you're looking for the ultimate knife, this is it. Since then, I've picked up a Shun pairing knife which I love as well.

Question: what does the corkscrew replace

This corkscrew replaces a costly winged corkscrew that had it's worm break inside the cork.I thought this corkscrew would be harder to use then the winged type, but am pleasantly surprised that it is easier to use. The foil cutter is effective and easy to use. The teflon coated worm screws into the cork with almost no effort. Unlike the winged type, you turn the bottle, not the corkscrew, to insert the worm into the cork. The two step hinged prying tool makes it easy to start the cork out, and then with a slight shift get the cork all the way out. More pleasant features are that a bottle cap opener is included, this tool feels great in the hand, it's about the cheapest good quality corkscrew around, and it's good looking. The pictures don't do it justice.Salud!

Question: What type of drink is made with the cheesecloth?

I bought cheesecloth from two different vendors to see which I preferred. Both are identical and work well. I use it for draining the whey from yogurt, to be used for fermenting. I make kvass, sauerkraut, ginger drink, and pickles, fermenting with whey. It is so easy to do and is ready in a few days. The stuff is just like my father-in-law used to make in the old country, as least my husband says.I wash the cheesecloth in the sink with dish soap and rinse it well. The yogurt residue washes out easily. And then I hang it over the oven handle to dry. Use again and again.

Question: Where is it easy to move?

Purchased this and didn't get to use it until just before Thanksgiving. Have loved it ever since. It is easy to move in tight areas. That's a plus because I don't have a lot of space in my dining area and always had to move the chairs into the great room. Now, I can just pull the chairs away from the table and get completely under the table. I purchased the "animal" version because I have two dogs. I can hear this Dyson sucking up grit and crumbs that they drag in through the doggie door onto my oriental rug. Plus it goes easily from the rug to the hardwood and also does a great job on the ceramic tile in the kitchen and wall to wall carpet in the bedroom. It also isn't as noisey as my other vacs. This model comes as the "animal" and regular...so if you have pets, be careful to get the "animal" version. It is worth the extra. This was the best price, even with TV shopping special value (not the animal) and department store specials. Worth every penny. Easy to use, easy to assemble, easy to push and oh, wow, the pick up of dirt and dog hair.

Question: What is the writer disappointed in?

I purchased one of these about 2 years ago from a housewares store, (I thought Bed,Bath, & Beyond). Anyway, I use mine to keep powdered sugar in. Since I bake a lot, it has come in handy quite a bit. It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap. About a year ago I started looking for another one for cocoa powder and had been unable to find it, until now on Amazon! I'm so happy!UPDATE 8/23/09 - I'm reducing my 4 stars to 2! I had submitted the previous review before receiving the item. This particular one is much bigger than the one I already have. Mine must be about 4 oz. Anyway, the size is not the major disappointment, the shaker lid does not fit snug. I have horrible visions of this top flying off and wasting my cocoa powder all over the place. Also, with the lid not fitting snug, it would not keep the powder fresh while it was stored in it. Sorry if my previous review persuaded someone to purchase this item. I no longer comment on any items until I actually receive them.

Question: What happened to one of the trays that caused the purchase of the new one?

As an addition to a new corelle set we bought 2 of these trays 20-something years ago. Well made (China made- at the time not a popular choice). They were made of a very sturdy plastic, gloss finish, and nearly perfectly flat. One of the old trays recently broke when dropped on a sharp object, so i ordered this tray being reviewed. The price seemed high, but i loved those old trays. This is an abomination! The rough finish is warped upwards at least a quarter inch! It can't weigh but one-half of what the older tray does and, it is way overpriced for what you get (same company in raised logo/letters on the back. Shame for selling over-priced crap such as this product! Two stars as i try not to hate anything.

Question: What is true about Heckels knife?

I purchased this set for my son who was ready to upgrade to 1st class knives. Although the packaging said I was getting a 6" 'Cook's' knife, what I actually received was an 8" 'Chef's' knife (and that was fine with me).I had hoped the block would also accommodate the Calphalon (See my review of this bargain.) 6" meat fork I purchased to go along with the knife set. Unfortunately, the slots are a little too thin to accept the tines. (This was also true of the Henckels knife block, part of my personal set.)The reason I rated the set 4-Stars was that the handles, poly(whatever), did not fit my hand as comfortably as my Henckels 4-Star set. Additionally, they felt quite slick. The knives feel heavy and are well balanced (as well, they should be).

Question: Which two does the poster have?

I have two of these - one 7-slot and one 14-slot tray - and the two together fit perfectly in my kitchen drawer and hold all of my knives and honing steel. My 14-slot-tray is Wusthof, and the 7-slot is Victorinox. They are made very similarly, but the Victorinox seems to hold the knives a little better. My larger chef's and santoku knives fit better in the Victorinox, where in the Wusthof they seemed like they didn't "seat" well in the slots.Overall, this is very well made and is exactly as described. It seems to be high-quality wood, and looks very nice in the drawer. I've had several compliments on them already, and have only had them for a short time.If you're looking for a way to organize your knives in a drawer instead of a butcher block, then you don't have to look any further.Just be sure to check the dimensions to make sure it fits in your drawers! (both length, width, and height!)

Question: Is the heater very heavy?

My house tends to be drafty in places, so I wanted a small, portable heater to warm up the bathroom, bedroom or office in the cold weather. This heater is exactly what I was looking for. It's very quiet, has a low and high setting and a temperature dial so you can adjust it to the right temperature. It's lightweight and easy to move around from room to room if you need to. It's just right for warming up small to medium sized rooms. I've very satisfied with this purchase and the price was great compared to small heaters I've seen elsewhere.

Question: Do the pillow flatten over time?

We owned a pair of Beautyrest pillows that lasted us almost 15 years before going flat. They had springs inside and were wonderful, staying fluffy and lofty for many years. Despite some poor reviews, I ordered these to replace them.I waited to review them until I knew how they'd hold up. We've had them now for over 6 months. Although not as thick as they once were (I think they were a ridiculous 11" thick when I unpacked them), they're still plenty thick and supportive. I was worried at first, because they seemed to be losing loft quickly in the first few weeks we owned them. I feared they'd be flat inside of 3 months. I'm pleased to say that has not been our experience.If you're expecting something like the original Beautyrest pillows with springs, you'll be disappointed. If you compare to most other pillows on the market, you'll be very happy.

Question: How many more star would the author give if the cooktop was quieter?

We have a convection cooktop that I love. I got this for when we are cooking for a big crowd, need something portable or I am doing canning/pressure canning. With the pressure canning, the weight of the filled canner makes me not want to risk my cooktop per the canner's instruction.This burner is big! The rings shown on the top are spprox. 9" in diameter. Width-wise the flat surface is about 12". From front to back, the flat surface is approx. 10". The silver colored base extends a tad further all the way around and provides a very solid support.I cook in cast iron and Le Creuset cookware. This cooktop brings water to a boil rapidly and adjusts temperature quickly(just beware that cast iron/dipped iron holds heat so won't cool down as quickly as other induction-compatible cookware).I have no problem fitting my largest skillet, full sized le Creuset stockpot (20 quart) or pressure canner on this burner.I'd give it one more star if it wasn't so loud. It has a fan that is pretty noticeably loud(to be expected I guess) but also the controls to turn the heat up or down can be heard at the other end of the house. Could be a plus or minus for some, for us- I'd prefer something a little quieter.Great cooktop for the price and we use it almost everyday for something and it has been a workhorse. Def. recommend.

Question: Who else did the reviewer buy the product for?

Why did I wait so long to get this ????? I hated dragging the cutting board over to the pan to scrape off diced veggies. Sometimes I would use my hands and have to pick, pick at all the stragglers. This is the handiest tool ever ! Scoops up my diced onions and gets them all. I don't have to use my hands to pick them up anymore or drag over the cutting board to the stove. Great for anything you are chopping up. I bought two more for my daughters.

Question: where did the pillows end up after they were no longer wanted?

These are absolutely terrible pillows for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable. My husband continued to use his for a week or two more, despite the fact that he complained about how flat and uncomfortable it was on a nightly basis.If those problems weren't bad enough, it's almost as if your head slides around when you're trying to sleep on one. I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but if you put some pillow stuffing in a plastic bag & then covered that bag with a pillowcase, it'd have roughly the same effect (without the noise, of course).All in all, these pillows were a total waste of money, and I couldn't have been more disappointed with the purchase. Both eventually ended up in the trash because they weren't fluffy enough to put in shams or nice enough to use for guests.

Question: How does it cut the lid?

I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener. I thanked that person because this opener is AWESOME! Not only is it the SAFEST opener I've ever used but fast, clean and quieter. It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips so no cleanup required. How I've done without this wonderful opener all these years... tsk tsk... a shame. I'm a very happy customer and I'm confident raving about this fantastic Can Opener!

Question: What is being reviewed?

Being retired and living alone I was looking for a slow cooker to be able to cook enough to make a couple of meals and something that worked and worked well. I had a couple of other slow cookers that I wasn't that happy with so looked for another and found this and it looked like what I wanted so bought it. I have been using it since I received it and in fact cooking tonight's meal in it and must say I love this slow cooker. I like the digital timer and cooking level and it works and works well. If I could give it more stars I would as this cooker is more then worth the money and I can not find any faults with it.

Question: how large is their table?

We bought this tablecloth because we got tired of washing the linen tablecloth every few days. This tablecloth is 70" in diameter which is perfect for our table at 48" diameter. You can google "tablecloth sizing" and do some research to determine what tablecloth size works for you. The tablecloth itself is good quality and the edges have a trim, so it looks ok, not just a plain piece of plastic. The way we have it setup, we have a table protector pad and then on top a linen tablecloth, and then finally this plastic tablecloth. So far it has saved our linen tablecloth from several incidents which would definitely require us to wash it. The only downside is that the plastic tablecloth slides easily, so we have to adjust the position after every meal to re-center it.

Answer: 48"

The tablecloth itself is good quality and the edges have a trim, so it looks ok, not just a plain piece of plastic. The way we have it setup, we have a table protector pad and then on top a linen tablecloth, and then finally this plastic tablecloth. So far it has saved our linen tablecloth from several incidents which would definitely require us to wash it. The only downside is that the plastic tablecloth slides easily, so we have to adjust the position after every meal to re-center it.

Question: Does the AC get hot?

Mine also gave me an AC 'tingle' electrical shock or sensation so I returned it after one use. No trouble with Amazon returns. It has a very long AC cord which was handy. Depending how dirty the inside of your PC is..you might want to consider cleaning it with this unit outside. It worked a treat BUT mine had a shock feeling on one of the screw heads when inadvertently touching it..I am sure a 1 in a million factory oversight ..SO I still gave it 5 stars because it is so powerful and did a great cleaning job. It is also so damn noisy I'm not sure if my cat will ever come home. It also gets pretty hot after 10 minutes which honestly is a long time. I would have kept it as I intended to do BUT with the shock tingle I returned it and am waiting for a 2nd one to arrive..I'll update here accordingly. This blower truly does beat cans of air..it blows them away!! <-- get it? Oh well...:)PS- my first desktop PC (years ago) was a Micron brand..I NEVER cleaned it..after 18 months it had a mat of dirt and cat hair on the power supply grill and inside the case like clothes dryer lint filters do...the power supply failed . Now I clean my desktop PC annually...live and learn.

Question: Which piece of the disc holder is child resistant?

I would have given this disc holder a 5-star rating except that the child-resistant safety button/knob is difficult for arthritic hands to lift and twist at the same time. If I am very careful when closing it, I can avoid having the safety latch catch, but that does not always work. I wish they had an option to purchase it without the child-resistant device, for non-child older households.Other than that, it is a great way to keep sharp blades and discs organized and safe! It is well-made and stores 3 discs, a dough blade, and the chopping blade. Although it is fairly large, it is easy to keep on top of my fridge, as it is very lightweight but sturdy.This would be a great item for a household with children, with its safety device.

Question: What type of top does the product have?

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: What is the price of the Thermoworks?

I have both the fast, foldable Thermoworks and the fast, non-foldable. They are equal in speed and accuracy, although the more expensive turns itself off faster. That's about the only difference of any consequence. Great value. If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place).

Question: What does the duvet feel like?

I just ordered this with a cover two or three days ago and was not expecting them to arrive so quickly since I picked free shipping.I was pretty sure that king sized blankets/quilts/comforters would have significant overhang when used on a queen sized mattress and sitting under the duvet right now, I'm kind of disappointed. The king sized quilt I bought elsewhere has more overhang than this duvet.This duvet feels (to me) like down, just without the stabby feathers and it's heavy enough that I don't have to use more than one electric heater while sleeping this winter night (I'm a freeze baby, though). I washed it before stuffing it into the cover and it did not tear, nor does it have any outstanding defects after I scoured it over.I'm pretty happy with it, I just kind of wish it was a larger comforter.

Question: What custom setting does this toaster have that this person likes?

This is the best toaster I have ever owned. It is well built ( as are all Breville products) is the most versatile I have ever owned and the settings are very accurate. The bagel setting and "A Little More" are settings that should have been on toasters years ago. The extra wide slots make toasting any size bread very easy as does the basket that adjusts as the bread lowers in to be toasted. Breville has thought of everything. I highly recommend this toaster.

Question: How many stars did the author rate this item?

You can't tell from the picture, but this item looks quite elegant, as if it were made of fairly high quality porcelin, but it's made of CorningWare which along with Pyrex always gets top marks from me.I have one CorningWare pot and lid that I've put to 20 years of heavy use, and it shows no signs of its significant age. I imagine this cassarol dish might join it in our collection of "keep it 'til we're dead" items. Certainly the material is lighter and thinner, but I don't imagine it's any less durable than our other CorningWare item.This item arrived at our house midday, and that evening I came home to cassarol. Since my wife is really picky, that makes this item a winner.No question on the fully earned five stars rating.

Question: What size rooms can this heat?

Question: What do they love?

My old one was getting all tea stained and I had it for years, but I could never find one like this in any of the stores, I didn't like the ones they sold so I just kept on using my old one, then I found this one on Amazon and I immediately ordered this one since this was exactly what I wanted. I love the color and this is the perfect size for my tea. As soon as I got this I finally got to toss my old one. That is a great thing about Amazon, at least you can usually find what you are looking for when you have no luck finding what you are wanting in the stores.

Question: What two vegetables did the author prepare?

First I bought a mandolin to julienne my carrots and cucumbers for California rolls. That machine was an accident waiting to happen. Since I like my fingers the way they are I decided to try this gadget for cutting strips of carrots. Let me tell you this gadget not only was easy to use but I felt safe using it. I use a fork to hold down the carrot and depending on how much pressure I use, I can make the strips thin or a bit thicker. I also bought the potato peeler, both work great!

GOOD FEATURES:1. Looks niceBAD FEATURES:1. Not sturdy2. Poorer quality than the Tablemate I bought a few years back.The one I bought a few years back was called the same thing, but the metal legs were much stronger and of a heavier metal.

The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. Very inferior.

Question: Which one mixed with the water?

I got this to use with various loose-leaf teas from Teavana, as I was tired of needing to use the french press every time I wanted some. It works well enough, but the seal isn't very tight and as a result some of the smaller bits of the loose leaf made it into the water. Luckily, it settles at the bottom after a while, but it's still a little annoying. It's still usable, and it might be the case that this specific tea was a little finer than the ball was made for, so I'll be keeping it around regardless.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

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.

Question: what should you not keep this item in for long periods of time?

For anyone who prepares ground beef, sausage, even mashing potatoes, this is a great tool First saw it at my daughters and it took a while to find it.

Question: Does the product turn its self off?

Every kitchen should have a digital thermometer and every cook should use one. Not only is it a must for determining if poultry and meat is done, it is handy for telling if those leftovers in the microwave are hot. It is also a must-have if you make your own yogurt. Too many other uses to list here.Cooks Illustrated got it right! If you don't have the money for aThermapenthen this is the one to get. I've had this model for at least 5 years after trying several other digital models. My biggest gripes about those were slow response time and narrow temp range.The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers. The sleeve can be used as a handle...handy when taking the temperature of boiling liquid. It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery. I saw a complaints about the small buttons, but I have big "ham hands" and don't have a problem with the size if the buttons.No, you can't put it in a turkey or roast and put it in the oven, but they makeProbe Thermometersfor that. And no, you can't put it in the dishwasher, but why would you want to? It just wipes clean.This will be the best 18 bucks you can spend on the kitchen. I highly recommend this thermometer.
