Question: What do you need to carefully do?

The Big Boss Pro Steam is truly a powerful iron for those cotton shirts and even bed sheets you may not want to throw in the dryer. The steam vents are plenty and quite powerful. You need to carefully see where the vents are before shooting steam so you don't hurt yourself. The iron itself looks good but is quite heavy. While I like this iron for hard to iron clothes, I still prefer my Panasonic to this one because it's light and easier to hold. That said, if you only use an iron for cotton, you will love this one.

Answer: see where the vents are before shooting steam

Question: How did the trader joes kernals taste?

This popper is awesome ( as poppers go). Long ago I had another brand, but this Presto is blazing fast and pops every kernel.. I put it to the test with 6 brands and never had more than 1 or 2 unpopped kernels. The size and volume were another thing entirely. All samples are of the same weight of popping corn (weighed for accuracy on a postal scale). Some popped up twice the volume of others. The mushroom popcorn was purchased on Amazon (Mushroom Popcorn Kernels - Just Poppin Brandby Just Poppin). How did they taste? Pretty much the same, except the Trader Joes Organic was tougher and more chewy.

Question: What did the shopper spend on her second mixer?

This is my third hand mixer in about three months. My old Hamilton-Beach (#1) finally bit the dust, so I decided to purchase this one. Unfortunately I mentioned my intention to my husband, who recommended that I look for something less expensive instead. I did some price-shopping and ended up spending $15.00 on another brand (#2). I got what I paid for. I hope whoever bought it at the local Salvation Army store likes it better than I did. Mixer #3, this Waring, is wonderful. I chose it because several reviewers mentioned that its lowest speed is SLOW, and I agree. My H-B came with a spatter-shield that attached to its housing; this mixer neither has nor needs one. The beaters eject easily, and I love the digital timer. Many recipes direct that a mixture be beaten for a specific length of time, and since I can't see a clock from the counter where I do my mixing, the timer is a definite convenience. I do have a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for heavier items, but this little guy whips up great cakes, frostings, and fillings.

Question: Where did the author see fans like that?

I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me, but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality.The fan works ok, but it looks just as cheap as any other fan, so we'll see if it holds up. The most annoying thing about it though, is the base doesn't stay on, this is a terribly poor design, any time I go to pick it up the base falls off, and I have to grab that and bring it with me.

Question: How many mitts were ordered?

I ordered 2 of these mitts and I love them! They keep my hands cool and have a good grip because of the silicon strips in the mits themselves. They are well made, look very expensive, but aren't and I will order from this seller agaIn, when the mitts wear out.

Question: what is dangerous according to the reviewer?

This ring is dangerous. Handle with care. After unpacking I immediately went to the sink to submerse the ring in order to remove the product decal sticker on the side. I dropped it into the soapy water and let it sit. Then coming back with ample time to allow the decal to dissolve, I reached into the water to pull it out and my hand went into the ring and my finger came across the inside of the ring that is creased over. The contact point where the WOK will sit. I drew my hand out literally in pain as it opened a half inch cut into my finger bleeding as you can imagine.Simply put. BEWARE of this sharp edge. It is razor sharp.It fit my WOK perfectly but I'll always be concerned about cutting myself. I'll either correct the problem by bending the lip all the way around or I will put it in the trash to make sure no one else gets cut.

Question: How good did they find their drinks?

I got this for Christmas and I love it! The quick start guide was easy to follow and I had it going within a few minutes of pulling it out of the box. I was concerned that cleanup might be a problem, but it was really easy to clean with a soft dish brush and a little soap, just be careful when cleaning the frother. I had family over for Christmas so made a few different drinks. Being Christmas, I had eggnog so made an eggnog latte, then made a regular latte and after that I made a sugar free coconut milk peppermint mocha. I am no barista and they were all delicious and tasted like coffeehouse drinks! It also has a heat and froth function which is great if my drink gets cold and needs reheating. I also love that it comes with a recipe pamphlet. Now that I can make great coffee house drinks at home, this latte maker will have paid for itself within a few weeks.

Question: The customers previous infuser was made out of what?

My other infuser is a plasticy mesh that lets no leaves through. It is better.That said, this one is not bad. It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. The lid covers nicely while steeping and provides a good place to sit the wet leaves- it has an inner ring that keeps the liquid from flowing out as the leaves drain.It is relatively difficult to clean as small leaves stick to the inside along the perforations and along the top edge where the metal is joined together. It takes more time to clean than the mesh style.I purchased this because I thought it would last forever (ForLife), but I noticed a gash in it, in the perforated section, not long after I got it. I don't know if it was there when I got it or if I did it somehow, but now I assume it is more fragile than it appears.Amazon has removed this item from sale several times due to quality issues, but there was never an explanation. I need another infuser and I'll be trying something else. This one is just ok.

Question: Does the machine have a storage area for a whisk?

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: It is safe to put these inside a what?

I usually cook for an army of one and these are perfect. In a pinch, I've used them to fry breakfast links. Perfect for a quick lunch or side dish. I do lower the recipe temperature when baking. I think these are really impressive when entertaining. With that said, if you're in a hurry they are not so great for reheating because the microwave is a lot quicker.As with all things All Clad, these heat evenly and quickly. Stainless steel is easy to clean. My favorite words in the English language are "dishwasher safe."

Question: How hard is installation?

Works great!We have this heater mounted to the wall in a really drafty and cold bathroom. (Maybe 60 sqft) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. The wall gets warm but not too warm, I can touch the panel but I wouldn't keep my hand there too long. The heater panel is paintable so it will fit your decor if you spend the time painting it.The installation was a snap and included everything needed (except the power drill).I am not sure how well this heater would work in larger room but I really like that it is not driven by a fan and is quiet as can be.

Question: What kind of suction does the vaccum have

This vacuum cleaner is good, solid value. I've owned many units in this same price point, and this may be the best so far. It has strong suction and brush action. It's well-constructed, compact, and easy to assemble. It has a dial to adjust to various surfaces and works well on all carpet thicknesses as well as bare floors. Accessory attachments include a turbo brush and upholstery brush and extension tube, which all fit neatly on the back of the unit for storage. Not industrial strength and no deluxe bells and whistles, but definitely gets the job done for basic home use.

Question: How did the author feel when first reading the product description?

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

Question: What are the kids learning now?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: How do they get the lids clean?

If you are looking to make the healthy switch from plastic storage containers to glass, then I would recommend this set. I had bought a few rubbermaid glass bowls at the store to try them out. The ones I bought at the store have a removable gasket. I thought this set from Amazon did too, but they don't. It's all one piece, and easier to clean than the ones with the gasket. I actually think the one piece might have a tighter seal. I love the way these things stack in the refrigerator. I hand wash my lids so I can't' tell you how they do in the dishwasher. I've tried other glass storage container sets, and to me Rubbermaid makes the tightest seal.

Question: When did the reviewer get the product?

I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . It is clever design and the cleaning process is simple and quick .. no filters no mess , I cheat on my Tassimo with this one and for me the coffee I choice taste better , it is so much cheaper so I am keeping it , love the design and overall presentation and the price is nice also , I tried to make also tea and worked well and for sure I am not going back to regular coffee maker again that's for sure .. I would give 5 stars if I could use my fine grinded coffee with but you can't .

Question: What should you do after you plug it in?

We needed this to smooth out the table skirts of our retail booth at craft shows and festivals. The first time I used it, I was setting up the booth while it heated up — and it went off like a tea kettle except instead of whistling, it began spewing hot water! As you plug it in, keep a close eye on it so this doesn't happen to you.It worked well to get the wrinkles out. Not great, not instantly, but with enough passes over the heavy fabric, most of the wrinkles fell away.

Question: How may members are there in my family?

I cook every night for a family of 5. I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron. I ordered this skillet thinking the bigger size would be good to cook for my large family and I was right, but when I say it's big I mean it's MASSIVE (and heavy!). I wiped it down with some flax seed oil and put it into my heated oven and it fit with very little wiggle room. It certainly will not fit in my cabinets so it will have to live on my stove-top which is just fine by me.A lot of reviewers have complained about the "rough" finish on the inside of the skillet. To me, it doesn't seem that rough. There is a definite texture to it but nothing that will totally destroy the integrity of your food, in my opinion. Don't let a little texture steer you away from buying this bargain-priced skillet - you can always season, season, season to get that smooth patina cast iron is renowned for.One thing to note is that the product picture indicates that there are two pour spouts between each handle. My skillet does not have the pour spouts. That's slightly disappointing but this skillet is so heavy that I doubt I will be able to gracefully pour anything out of this thing, pour spouts or not. Amazon should update its picture of the product.All in all, I am thrilled with my beast of a skillet. The size is great for my large family but if you aren't cooking for a bunch of people I think this skillet may be overkill for you. Try a 12-in or even a 10.5 in. skillet.Edit: I just received the 12-in rooster pan as a gift and I am thrilled! The rooster design adds a homey touch to our otherwise contemporary kitchen. I use the 15 inch skillet every day but it takes up so much room on my stovetop that it is difficult to cook two things at a time. Now I can easily use my 12 inch and 10.5 inch skillets on the stovetop while the big boy 15 incher is baking in the oven. I cannot get enough of cast iron!

Question: What type of product is being reviewed?

I bought this for a friend to use at her barn to make her horse soup in the winter. She had it at home for a few days before she remembered to take it to the barn. Once it was at the barn for a few days, she had to call and ask for another for her house. Once you have an electric kettle, you'll never know how you lived without one. Only down side, the horse is now very demanding that she get soup, even when it isn't that cold out.

Question: What is one of the many uses for the scale?

I have only had this product a week, but so far I am happy. I bought it mostly for weighing meat portions when cooking dinner. My boyfriend and I are trying to follow better portion control for dinner. I find that this scale makes it easy to keep track of my calorie intake. I can weigh items and google how many calories are in that portion size. This product is also light and does not take up a lot of space. The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents. I am a happy customer and would recommend this product.

Question: How many items has the user replaced due to breakage?

DO NOT BUY ANY BODUM COFFEE OR TEA PRESS THAT CONTAINS GLASS. BODUM USES A SPECIAL BOROSILICATE GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.I love Bodum Coffee Presses. But I would NEVER recommend anyone buy one with a glass beaker. You will need to replace the beaker frequently, since the special glass Bodum uses is extremely fragile, and breaks repeatedly for no apparent reason at all. I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. Make no mistake, you do not have to bang the glass against anything for it to break. It simply cracks spontaneously for no apparent reasonBodum has come out with some presses with a LEXAN clear plastic beaker.These do not break. I assume they came out with the LEXAN product because of problems with the glass. Be warned.If you do buy this product, buy a half dozen replacement beakers at the same time. You will need them.

Question: What reviews were they reading about?

After reading other reviews regarding rusting etc, I decided to chance it and bought this bath curtain rod.I have not been disappointed. After over a month of steaming hot showers I have found no rust of any kind. The rod goes up easily and supports and designer outer shower curtain and an inner clear shower curtain as well. Grommets, hangers and rod are all stain/rust free and the curtains are doing the job they were designed to do.A top shelf set of products that serve me well so far.What more can a body ask for?

Question: What material is the handle made of?

I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. These measuring cups are no exception. They are made from reinforced steel and have a great rubber handle. I've had zero problems with bending and have used them extensively on wet and dry ingredients since owning. They wash up great in the dishwasher and are a substantial weight - not too heavy, but they don't feel cheap. The only drawback I can see is the price; however, with everything, you get what you pay for. I highly recommend these measuring cups!

Question: How many bags do you get for $9.99?

Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the bags lasted. Even though they aren't terribly big, they are very sturdy and expand to hold a great deal more dust and dirt that expected. Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material. They are very easy to change and don't "leak" dirt and dust all over when you take them out of the canister. At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house.

Question: Why was there a trip to the ER?

I like the feel of wood handles, but the handle on this is still quite good.It doesn't have the weight of some knives, but so far that's just a matter of "feel"As a tool for cutting, it works really well. It's very sharp, at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. This wasn't while I was using it. I put it in a place that in hind sight wasn't a good idea. And while reaching for something shoved a finger against the edge. The result was a very deep but very straight/clean cut almost to the bone. Ooops?No urge to rate it down for my own mistake.The drop in one star is just for lighter feel and the edge flutes that haven't helped with any of the things I've been cutting. I had really hoped they would help but they haven't at least for cutting veggies or other very wet things.The weight is a bit of an issue for chopping. But maybe this style blade isn't used for that normally. Not being a serious cooker or chef, I don't know.

Question: Where did the reviewer buy coffee?

I bought one of these at Kohl's on 12/27/11. It worked just fine but stopped working by February, so I exchanged it at the store. I only used it when I found 2 pound bags of Starbuck's French Roast at T.J. Maxx for $14.99 and would grind a partial bag at a time. Probably no more than a half hour's use since then but when I ground up some in advance last week, I'm guessing the motor overheated and seized up. It's in the trash now. I'd recommend using this light-duty grinder for no more than a few ounces of beans at a time.

Question: What brand makes this vacuum?

This is the best vacuum I've ever owned (and I've owned many).I have had it for over 5 months now and it is as good as the day I bought it. It is expensive, but from what I've heard from others who own it, it will last for years to come. Not an eyesore either. I keep it out most of the time, because it isn't an ugly looking machine, and it's handy to use whenever I need to. We had a rug that we were going to throw out because it was so old looking and our pets (2 cats and a dog) had shed on it for years. Needless to say, we ran the Dyson over it and we no longer wish to throw it away. It could do with a shampoo, but all the hair and dirt has been taken out after just using Dyson once on it. I used to vacuum this thing repeatedly with my other vacuums and it never felt clean. If you have the money to invest, do it!

Question: what type of nozzle does the product use?

This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. First of all is the new canister. Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. This feature allows you to empty it easier and with less mess. The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. While the weight is a touch heavy, the suction power is good and makes up for it. Overall, I am very pleased with this vacuum.

This Roomba was a dream when we first got it, and for about the first year. 3 years in, it still works, but it is louder and requires more thorough cleaning. My husband has taken it apart and cleaned the inside out more deeply than is possible by simply opening the clean-out trap and brushes. I should also mention that we have only used our Roomba on the first floor where we have only laminate wood and tile. We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. With 2 cats and a labrador retrieves who sheds like crazy, the Roomba keeps dust bunnies and pet fur at bay between weekly vacuuming.

Question: What brand is the knife that the user is reviewing?

The handle is perfectly shaped, easy to grip, and feels so good in my hand. This knife creates efficiency, swiftly gliding through squash and potatoes. It is the best knife ever.I bought this Victorinox knife a few months ago to upgrade from a lesser quality knife, and I am so happy that I did. Yesterday, I was making soup and I reached for a knife to chop some vegetables. My new Victorinox knife was dirty (from easily slicing through cold dense fudge,) so I used my old knife, thinking that it would not be a big deal. I could not believe the difference. My old inferior knife could not even slice through celery without leaving uncut stringy bits. After five seconds of that inadequacy, I went and washed the Victorinox knife, and the rest of my slicing was quick, effortless, and flawless.

Question: What are these sheets made of?

I'm so glad i ignored the negative reviews. It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. Not that it is actually egyptian cotton. Maybe that is where the negative reviews are coming from, people expecting actual egyptian cotton. I knew what to expect and it exceeded my expectations. The fabric is extremely soft and smooth. We have a pillow top mattress so our fitted sheets are always popping off. The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. I will be ordering another set in a different color and would definitly recommend these sheets. I still can't believe how inexpensive they were for such a nice set of sheets.

Question: How many samples were provided?

I purchased this coffee maker after reviewing several others and I am very happy with my purchase. It is so handy and easy to use. Makes very good coffee from dozens of options available. Biggest chore was deciding which of the 18 samples provided best suited my tastes. Coffee pods cost more than bulk ground coffee, but are so much easier & no mess to clean up...plus so many flavors & varieties. By using the accessory filter, you can still use regular ground coffee if you wish. I bought it with the coffee maker, but after several months have still not found a need to use it...Buy this....you will like it.

Question: What additional information does the customer add?

Use this cup at work and it is great. Keeps the drinks cold and yet keeps the outside not so it is easy to hold. It is made to fit nicely in the cup holder of your car, which is great for he drive back and forth. The lid screws on nicely and has a good seal. If you like green and need a cup to keep your drinks cold for work then this is great.My only gripe is it only came in the 16oz size only at the time of purchase. Would love to see it in a 20oz size.This item shouldn't be put in the dishwasher. It is worth it to take the extra 30 seconds to just wash and rinse it in the sink by hand.Edit: (4/19/2012)Just wanted to add this in case people are trying to decide on size. If you use those drink mixes, especially the Crystal Light packages, I would go with the 20 oz. Just easier to fill and mix with that little extra few ounces. This will work as well, but you have to fill it to the brim for the 16oz and it can make stirring a little annoying. Not a knock against the cup, just added info in case that was one of the uses.

Question: What made me doubtful about the towels?

I'd ordered Pike Street towels from Amazon previously and been very pleased by how soft, absorbent, and full they were. However, this batch was entirely different. The price made me doubtful, because it's exceptionally low for the number and size of towels, but you get what you pay for, I guess. These are much less full and fluffy than the others - when you rub the pile, you can definitely see the fabric underneath. Instead of feeling soft, they feel kind of nubby when rubbed. There were several long strings randomly hanging out from the pile. They're acceptable, and I ended up keeping them for emergency use, but "luxurious" isn't a word I would apply here. On the other hand, they are generously sized. I would say that overall, the price justifies what you get. Be aware the Wedgewood color ended up being more of an ocean blue and less grey than I was expecting, at least on my monitor display.

Question: What did the customer like about the kettle?

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

Question: What is the item they are discussing in this review?

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

Question: How much can the top section contain?

I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. I just wound up digging through tons of canned goods, wound up loosing small things and was generally unhappy about the whole situation. This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's not especially strong palstic, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.

Question: What transition does it work well with?

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: When did they buy their last kettle?

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. It is a real winner in my book! i like the safety features of this kettle and especially not having a cord dangle as I'm filling my teapot with boiling water,My expensive coffeemaker has a plastic filter basket which I think imparts a flavor to my coffee. Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal. This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

Question: What is more than a gimmick?

I've had this iron for well over a year and have found it to be a fine performer. Heats fast, lots of steam, not too heavy. The removable water chamber is not just a gimmick but helps in refilling the iron. One drawback is the very small capacity of the water tank. Looking a the design of the iron, there appears to be plenty of room to have made the tank larger.This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature.All-in-all, you won't go wrong with this iron unless you do A LOT or ironing...then you'll find yourself making lots of trips to the sink for a refill.

Question: What issue did some previous reviewers complain about?

I am impressed by the over ingenuity of the design. I had no trouble with holding down the button as some previous reviewers complain about. I found if you palmed it it was very comfortable for both of us. I was apprehensive as I have an older Dyson DC10 and there was no mention to the compatibility but it attached flawlessly. I might suggest that in conjunction with this attachment for the pet that you look into the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded, 33A1 for the furniture as the Dyson groom is too stiff for upholstery. Used in combination the pets can now stay! As for the vacuum noise frightening the dog (not recommended for cats) I put the vacuum as far away as I could. I did a pre-comb run for several minutes without the vacuum on. My baby loves it and comes running when the unit comes out! A side affect... he used to chase the hand attachment of the vacuum barking and acting up... that has now stopped!

Used in combination the pets can now stay! As for the vacuum noise frightening the dog (not recommended for cats) I put the vacuum as far away as I could. I did a pre-comb run for several minutes without the vacuum on. My baby loves it and comes running when the unit comes out! A side affect... he used to chase the hand attachment of the vacuum barking and acting up... that has now stopped!
