Question: What does the author about the product?

I bought 3 of these for my adult children. I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist. They are not only functional but I like the safety cover. The cover protects unwanted jabs on your hands when reaching in drawers / other places where you may store one. I'm glad I found these avaiable via Amazon. I recommend having one, it's handy to have one around just in case you need it.

Answer: the safety cover

Question: How long ago was the Oster cooker purchased?

I have had this unit, purchased from Amazon for about a year. I have now had it with it.I was sooooo frustrated with the temperature settings: set it on simmer and it was like boiling. No way to effectively control the temperature of my cooking.To make matters worse, the uneven cooking forced me to constantly stir my dishes. When I put it on simmer, I could see a bubbling "U" in my dish where the coils ran around the unit, but nothing anywhere else.So one has no accurate temperature control, nor control over WHERE the heat is going, this unit is pretty bad. I expected more from Oster.

Question: What do I do to prevent burns of food?

I've had this crock pot for several years now. The handle on the lid has broken off, but the crockpot itself still works like it did when it was brand new. The only problem with that is the that it cooks too hot. It seems to get hot spots sometimes, and almost always burns the top edges of my food. I have to stir it all the time even on low. Honestly, I have no idea why I haven't replaced this thing by now. That's actually why I am on Amazon now. Good Riddance Rival.

Question: What material is the product composed of?

Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers, this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers. We don't often decant wine, and when we do, we usually consume the whole bottle in one evening. However, this stopper is perfect for those times when you can't finish the wine the same day. It is high quality glass, free of bubbles and defects. It is satisfyingly heavy and very good quality. Additionally, it fits both of our decanters (Spiegelau and Riedel) perfectly, giving us the chance to enjoy the wine in decent condition the next day. We are very pleased with it.

Question: How long can the new travel mug keep whats inside it hot?

This travel mug is worth every penny. I used to have one of those dime a dozen, crappy travel mugs and couldn't wait to throw it out. And, just like many of the travel mugs out there, It leaked and looked cheap and flimsy. This travel mug is just the opposite. It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours. I mainly use it in the morning to transport my coffee to work and it is the perfect mug for that. I am very glad that I finally decided to buy this mug.

Question: What has the reviewer used this product for?

So far no complaints! I've used it to cover a pan when frying to prevent splatters, and also as a flour sifter. Worked better for the first purpose, but just fine for the second as well. I read reviews complaining about rust forming, so I'm careful to wash it right after using and drying it well, and I haven't had that problem yet. My only comment is if you use it with a hot pan, it also gets hot, so be careful not to touch it except at the handle. (This is probably quite obvious, but in a moment of distraction I forgot and burned myself. Still rating 5 stars since this is not a problem with the screen!)

Question: What was the biggest stroke of genius concerning the product?

While I can't speak to the long-term reliability of this product (only had it a little while), I can say that providing several feet of tubing to feed into a bulk bottle of hand soap was a stroke of genius. All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle. If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter. Using the included tubing to feed into a gallon bottle of hand-soap eliminates all that hassle.Make sure you follow the priming instructions... if you try and prime with thick hand-soap, it'll take you forever. Prime from a glass of water, and when it starts dispensing, switch over to the soap.

Question: How long has the lid been subjected to heavy use?

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 concern does the writer have?

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: Where did the toaster get sticky?

I like this toaster. Much of what others have said is true though. It doesn't brown that evenly... and so on. Still it might be the only LONG and WIDE slot toaster available at a reasonable price. I mostly toast long slices of sour dough bread. True, it sometimes burns at the ends but you get what you pay for. I bought mine at Target 5 years ago and it's still going strong. The down-catch got sticky and I started looking for a new toaster, so I'm glad I found this offering to have my positive say. BTW, the catch freed up and is fine now.

Question: How is the quality?

I use these knives all the time, they stay sharp for a long time and I really abuse my kitchen utensils from all the use they get. They feel good in my hand and are well worth the price.I buy U.S. made products every chance I get. Good quality and excellent pricing.

Question: How long did the purchaser say was the warranty?

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: How does the person like their tea?

I have 2 of these brew and go machines and use them everyday. I love tea and am able to make the best cup of tea, ok I use 3 tea bags as I love it strong...but it really is perfect every single time I use it! No fuss no mess, just a great hot cup of tea. Suprisingly the travel mug keeps it nice and hot for a good period of time. Coffee would be super simple too as the permanent filter is a sweet plus. Make a great college gift or for a person who only has a cup or 2 of coffee or tea at a time. I love this machine!

Question: What country does the cup remind the author of?

This is a beautiful, solid, stainless steel cup. I was searching for a stackable set of stainless steel cups for holding cold beverages, and this fit the bill to a T.These remind me of the stainless cups they use in India for water.There are no "indentations" on the side. The image makes it look like there might be.We've been using ours in the dishwasher for the past 2 months, and there have been no ill effects.Another product to consider if you want dishwasher safe stainless steel, but would like some insulation, isBodum Stainless Steel 16-Ounce Vacuum Travel Mug with Black Silicone GripThat mug is NOT stackable.For outdoor use, I prefer:Thermos Stainless-Steel 22-Ounce Leak-Proof Hydration Bottle. It is spill proof, has better insulation, and built like a tank, but it is NOT dishwasher safe.

Question: When was the update posted?

UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. Love it!!After going through many glass versions of different quality I decided to bite the bullet and spring for this one. Not only is this piece beautiful to look at, it keeps the coffee warmer much longer with it's double walls and you can stir with anything, not just a wooden or platic spoon like a glass caraf. Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time. This is one of the very few things I keep out on my counter. If you have stainless appliances you'll really like the pick up of tones. We've had it for at least six months now and it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.

Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time. This is one of the very few things I keep out on my counter. If you have stainless appliances you'll really like the pick up of tones. We've had it for at least six months now and it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.

UPDATE <hl> April 14, 2014 <hl> : Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box.


Question: What does the author feel is a great way to grab a market share?

It is small (a plus in my small kitchen), looks good, and works well.Heating technology hasn't changed much over the years. The way to grab a section of the market is to come up with a different package. Function is most important, with aesthetics a close second. The oven is large enough to easily toast four slices of bread. Any smaller and it would be inadequate for most. The thing that sets this product apart is the design of the door. It rotates to open and close. It feels sturdy and well balanced. Because it rotates, the oven takes up less space than ovens with doors that swing open. I have a larger desktop oven that has been completely replaced by this one. One of my favorite benefits of the rotating door is the I don't have to clear space in front of the oven so that objects do not obstruct the door. Finally the door can be removed and replaced very easily, which allows for quick and easy cleaning of the door itself, and the inside of the oven.The door makes the difference, and the size of this particular model is perfect for a single person or a small family.

Question: What did the person used constantly?

I was a big fan of these when they first came out and used one of them constantly. I never use wooden spoons anymore and anything I have that is silicone, is heat resistant. The reason I bought this one is that my favorite one suddenly broke off a chunk of silicone. I'm not sure why it happened but I decided to toss it.I find this one is not nearly as stiff or friendly to use. The other one had the stiffening center core product that was closer to the end of the silicone so that it was more usable when mixing something. This one has quite a bit of squishy silicone near the tip that just bends when you try to mix something. It also doesn't feel as durable in my hand.

Question: Does the item protect silverware?

I think I got this for a great price given the quality of the product. And the quality of this product is superb! I have stored my finer pieces of silverware in it along with other pieces received as wedding gifts in the drawer beneath. I found that this is the only way to keep silverware looking brand new as opposed to the silverware stored in the kitchen drawer and is used daily that shows some knicks here and there for obvious reasons.

Question: How do the bottles close?

I've used these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them. We have a set for milk and a set for water. The ONLY thing I wish these had is a little latch to hold the top shut. Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw). I'm guessing it's from bumping against other things in their bags??? We keep them inside gallon sized ziploc bags lined with paper towels now, after I had to replace 2 library books that ended up soaked in my son's backpack. The bags work well to contain the mess if/when they open now, but I REALLY wish there was a latch on these like there is on the bigger ones. Otherwise these are fantastic!

Question: What works wonderfully?

This Baguette pan, works wonderfully! I baked 6 hoagie rolls on it, at approximately 7 inches long, works like a charm, Beautiful coloring on the rolls, they are light and airy. I definately recommend this product as its functionality, ease of use/clean up, end product after baking, and the great production of hoagie rolls. I live at approximately 4600 ft in altitude and have been working on perfecting the perfect loaves of french bread, hoagies, white bread and artisian. I will definately continue utilizing this pan, and if you do, you will like it as much as I do.. just used water after the rolls baked, no soap.. it was perfect.. as the dough did not seep through the holes, and i did not use parchment paper at all..

Question: Using a flat disc what happened?

I didn't notice when I signed the lease on my new apartment that there was no plug in the bathtub drain. Not a problem, I thought, I'll just buy something to keep the soap and hair from clogging the pipes. Well, after trying a flat disc (it just flipped sideways), the white rubber hat style (what a joke), the stick-on type drain cover (which stuck on so well I still can't get the residue off) and a "stainless" mesh strainer (which rusted and looked disgusting) --- this RSVP Endurance Set of 2 Strainers was worth the money spent! The larger one fits perfectly in the bathtub drain and actually works. It's easy to clean out too. I put the smaller one in the kitchen sink on the side that does not have the disposal and I can still fit the stopper on top of it if I want to fill the sink. Should have bought this set the first time. Live and learn.

Question: What did the author not want to use?

My husband and I bought a Keurig last month. We were really excited to buy a single cup brewer but I wasn't too thrilled with having to buy K-cups, I don't mind it, there are quite a few I like but they do not have K-cups in my coffee of choice. We knew of the reusable K-cups since we know a few people who own keurigs but I didn't want to go with a copy cat brand, I wanted it to be keurig brand. We purchase the my k-cup and I experimented with coffee and with tea. On my first try I got a perfect cup of coffee. I was impressed! I'm happy that it also works with tea, I just removed the tea from a tea bag, put it in the my k-cup and brewed and presto! a perfect cup of tea! I would definitely recommend the my K-cup to any Keurig owner.

Question: When would the reviewer pay more for the product?

I do love this product because our gas stove seems to have only two settings: high and higher. Things were always boiling over too fast on "low" so when my mother in law gave me one if these, I wondered how I'd lived without it. The only problem is that they don't last long and I'm constantly having to replace it. I wish they made one that was a bit more durable. I'd gladly pay more to have it last longer. The first one the wooden handle broke off from too much heat exposure and the the metal was rusted and burned. This one is also starting to rust out pretty fast from the heat. But it's a great idea otherwise.

Question: What did the taste lack?

The system itself has good intentions and isn't overly cheap, but it is certainly not going to make the complex cup of coffee that a french press or Chemex will.I have never had a problem with the acidity of coffee, and when I tried cold-brewed, it was the bland taste that lacked all the complex flavor notes that drove me away. Maybe for iced coffee - maybe - but not for the add-hot-water-to-concentrate crowd that has cropped up. You are short-changing the complex flavors that only hot water can extract.

Question: What is the price of a pound of ground coffee?

After perusing coffee grinders for a year - I've found that the Melitta 80395 Burr Grinder meets all of my expectations. A friend has a pretty pricey Capresso and I've coveted it for years. Having tired of buying pre-packaged ground coffee that doesn't meet my taste (at $13. a pound) I decided to take a risk on one that didn't get the same cred, but definitely hit the mark when reviews and dollar value were combined. It works perfectly = and yes, it is noisy (but so it the Capresso) and messy at times (ditto the Capresso). At least it doesn't have the shrieking whir noise of the hand-held grinders = plus you can save yourself the early morning noise assault by grinding several cups in advance...

Question: What material are the lids made of?

I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

Question: What happens to the water?

I am really happy with this Electric Water Kettle. I am a big tea drinker, and I have tried other types of hot water makers, only to have them leak all over. This pot is fast and easy to use. It's very convenient, easy to fill, and the water actually boils, which is essential for good tea. The price of this was a bit more than some of the other brands, but it was well worth it!I know we will use this even more in the winter time, for other hot drinks and soups. It's just so easy! If you're a tea person, this pot is definitely for you.

Question: What poses as a potential target for soaps, shampoos and rinses?

What makes the Pinzon Hotel Stitch Shower Curtain, Silver Blue, stand out is its stark whiteness. It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory.The curtain itself, when paired an inexpensive liner, makes a nice upgrade to one's bath, and if it proves truly washable, then its value is cinched. But the sheer expanse of white also poses a potential target for all manner of liquid soaps, shampoos, and rinses. The true test lines ahead in the heat of bathing.

Question: What kind of foods is it useful for?

This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan.The front and sides are beveled to slip under the food easily. It has a nice angle to get into the pan properly. There is no worry about scraping the finish on the pan with the soft material on this spatula.I have only had this spatula for a short time now and have had no problems with it as some of the other reviewers have mentioned. I guess time will tell.It seems to be well made and comfortable to use. Glad that I bought it so far.

Answer: 1 egg or a hamburger

<hl> This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan. <hl> The front and sides are beveled to slip under the food easily. It has a nice angle to get into the pan properly. There is no worry about scraping the finish on the pan with the soft material on this spatula. I have only had this spatula for a short time now and have had no problems with it as some of the other reviewers have mentioned. I guess time will tell. It seems to be well made and comfortable to use. Glad that I bought it so far.

Question: what is the color of the porcelain pan?

it is smaller than my pyrex 13x9 glass pan, but i love this white porcelain pan, i love the handles and the fact that it can be used for more than lasagna. love it for enchiladas, roasting meat, chicken and/or vegetables. haven't tried baking a cake in it, but bet it would do the job very well. it would probably be great for baked mac and cheese or any casserole. it is a top quality product and i'm glad i bought it. nothing has stained it. haven't had any problems cleaning it and i haven't had any problem with food sticking. i also like that it can go from oven to table....a good looking serving piece as well. what more could i ask of a pan that is so versatile and at a reasonable price?

Question: How many dogs do they have?

I purchased this vacuum based on the positive reviews here on Amazon. Our old vacuum still technically worked, but I felt like it wasn't picking up like it should be. We recently moved in to our home (about 5 weeks ago). Before we moved in I rented an industrial carpet cleaner and shampooed all of our carpeted rooms and since then have been regularly vacuuming. When we got our new Bissell, we vacuumed one room and ONE room filled the canister. We couldn't believe our eyes! We have three dogs and I knew our old vacuum wasn't working that well, but I had no idea the dirt and dust that was being left behind. This vacuum is amazing and it's a great price too. Lightweight, easy to use, convenient dumping of canister, no filters or bags to replace. LOVE IT! BUY ONE!

Question: Is the wok hard to get food off?

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: What did this person decide to try?

I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole. I can't say enough good things about it! It is wonderful for heating/storing a main dish or veggies for two. Don't let the photo fool you. I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. Leftovers travel easily (and spillproof) to work and then the dish goes into the dishwasher... What is not to love??? Best of all, I can bring it to the table and the simple clean lines are perfectly with my Portmeirion pattern. I plan to order a second to use instead of the disposable plastic ware. What a useful product at a very practical size and a great price!

Question: How long ago was the item shipped?

I received this item about 6 months ago, and my fault, did not try it right away....I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element.....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue! I am going to purchase another one, but definitely from a more reputable company....

Question: does this machine have an auto off function?

Is quick and efficient. We keep it in our kitchen. Yes, it's loud, but it neither bother me NOR my boyfriend at all. As you've probably read, you can set what you want the humidity to be at and it will run until it reaches that point. No, the machine doesn't turn off when it gets to your ideal level, but it WILL kick back in if the humidity rises again. For the price and what it offers, I think it's a great deal. I don't have tons of money to spend, but this has proven to be a great investment. The tub has a nice handle to help with the watering emptying process. As mentioned, we keep it in the kitchen, so the sink is right there. So, that's how we use it. Great purchase.

Question: Is the lookalike soap dish the same size as the real one?

OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. However, most of the reviews over the more recent months showed people getting the correct item, so I thought Amazon must've corrected the problem. Not so. Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty, maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. And what's with the suction cup? If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth. Anyhow, it's going back immediately. Ridiculous to waste the time, effort, shipping, etc just to randomly give people either the correct product or a cheap, useless version. If you try it, good luck. At least Amazon has easy returns.

Question: How long had the reviewer used the toaster before reviewing it?

I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. It is good for wide slices like rye bread, and it holds 4 sandwich slices nicely. It is holding up well to daily use and makes evenly toasted, predictably browned toast. My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short. The cord is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. The toaster cannot be plugged in to the wall and still be out from beneath the upper cabinets in my kitchen. But that seems to be industry standard now, and it's a good toaster otherwise...the cool touch sides really are, which surprised me. You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use).

Question: What was I going to do after heating the pie shell partially?

USA pans are the best, in my opinion. But these.....maybe I don't know how to use them. I was heating a pie shell partially before adding the filling, and because of the coating on the pans, the dough on the sides shrunk down. I imagine that if you filled the shell and put a top on the pie, squeezing the top with the side along the rim that it would work. But I can't say that for sure. I just know that without the top, it doesn't work because the coating causes the dough to slide down on the sides.

Question: Who is the manufacturer of the product?

I knew induction cooking was fast and safe, but this little cooktop is just amazing. All glass surface, accurate and powerful power, economic to operate, and the best of all, at Amazon is less than $100.00 dollars, with free shipping, and fast! Just by coincidence, all my stainless steel cookware was induction capable as well as some cast iron and enamel cast iron pieces that I had for a long time. With this Duxtop 1800 Watts cooktop (very powerful) one can cook faster everything, boil water for pasta or vegetables, sear a steak, cook bacon etc. No heat in the kitchen, like my gas stove, Florida where I live, is hot and the central air eats a lot of electricity, this cooktop uses less than 12 cents of electricity for hour, and does not heat my kitchen at all. Very happy with this purchase... Very good quality by Duxtop. Thank You Amazon.

Question: Is the oven door removable?

It is small (a plus in my small kitchen), looks good, and works well.Heating technology hasn't changed much over the years. The way to grab a section of the market is to come up with a different package. Function is most important, with aesthetics a close second. The oven is large enough to easily toast four slices of bread. Any smaller and it would be inadequate for most. The thing that sets this product apart is the design of the door. It rotates to open and close. It feels sturdy and well balanced. Because it rotates, the oven takes up less space than ovens with doors that swing open. I have a larger desktop oven that has been completely replaced by this one. One of my favorite benefits of the rotating door is the I don't have to clear space in front of the oven so that objects do not obstruct the door. Finally the door can be removed and replaced very easily, which allows for quick and easy cleaning of the door itself, and the inside of the oven.The door makes the difference, and the size of this particular model is perfect for a single person or a small family.

Question: Are the pans dishwasher safe?

These are really nice non-stick pans. They are very attractive as well. I got the blue speckle and I think that is probably the most attractive color choice.Construction is really sturdy and they are suitable for whatever stove top surface you have according to the packaging. I don't think they are dishwasher safe though, as I saw nothing about that in the literature that came with the pans or online. If they were dishwasher safe I am almost certain they'd tout that.There isn't much more to say other than they work just like a frying pan should.The smaller pan is perfect for when I'm just cooking something small for me, the larger pan is great for the family. I am really thrilled to own these. They seem like they will last quite awhile with proper care, of course if my opinion changes I will update this review to match.
