Question: What is the product the reviewer bought?

I bought this trash can over 2 years ago and it is still working flawlessly -- and I don't even recall ever changing the batteries yet. (Though maybe with busier households you'd get shorter battery life.) I use mine as a garbage can in the kitchen and I love it. I approach with wrappings from raw meat and the cover flips open on its own so I don't have to worry about touching the lid with my bacteria contaminated hands. (I need a kitchen faucet that works the same way!) And, naturally, it's great when your hands are full. It is also excellent at keeping in unpleasant odors -- at least until the cover flips open and then you realize it's probably time to change the bag. ;-) Ours is near a high-traffic area in the kitchen but is tucked back enough so it doesn't over-react to passing bodies. Not only do I have no complaints with this item, I can't imagine working around a kitchen without it!Update: April 2010. It's four years now and it's still performing flawlessly.

Question: What was their original issue with the bowls?

I had to return the first set of these bowls because I discovered hairline fractures in two of the bowls. In addition, there were many other flaws (such as bubbles in the glass) in all three of the bowls. I received a replacement set from Amazon within two days (it may even have the very next day after I filed the report online). I noticed hairline fractures in one of the replacement bowls that I had used only twice as I was taking it out of the dishwasher. These bowls are of such low quality they cannot even withstand a trip through a dishwasher despite AH's claim that they are dishwasher safe. This product does not deserve even a one star rating. Rather than return the bowls again, I am going to just take the loss but I am done with Anchor Hocking. I will not even consider buying another Anchor Hocking product again. On the other hand, I am very pleased with Amazon's performance on this and all of my other orders.

Question: Was the table inside the box messed up?

I read other reviews before I chose this table. For the record I had no trouble removing the blue protective film from the table top in one piece. While the shipping carton was a bit superficially dented, the contents were undamaged and the unit was easy to assemble. Note that the blue film may not look like it is removable; it might look to some as the surface color of the top and use by heated or cold items might work to 'glue' the film in place. This is only a possibility. The manufacturer might print 'REMOVE THIS FILM' on the film. My table is on a carpet and is stable. Finger prints and future dust can be removed with a soft cloth. This replaces a larger square table that was taking up too much space and of course is adjustable.

Question: What movie inspired the writer to buy this item?

As a child, I regularly had soft boiled eggs in egg holders similar, though not identical to these. I probably went over 40 years without having a soft boiled egg. Recently I warched the movie "Iron Lady" where Meryll Streep portrays Margaret Thatcher. In the opening scene of that film Thatcher serves soft boiled eggs in holders similar to these and it planted the seed in me to start eating soft boiled eggs again.Yes, these are porcelain, but knowing that, they're not unusually fragile - they're as fragile, indeed I believe LESS so, than a reasonable person would expect from porcelain. I think less so because they're actually pretty heavy. I don't envision the spoons breaking unless they're dropped. If used solely to crack eggs they're just fine.It's a nice set and One I think represents good value when compared to others available at this Website at the time of this writing. My set came with five spoons. I don't know if that was an error on the part of the ackaging company or if they've decided to add an extra just in case.

Question: Where did I ending up ordering the pan?

I have used my pans a few times since purchase and love them! I bake all of our own bread and the loaves turn out perfectly every time. I thought the raised portions in the pan would make it nearly impossible to clean, but I was wrong - they clean up like a dream (I hand wash them). The grooves allow air to flow and make the crust brown perfectly all around. I was going to order the more expensive pans from Williams-Sonoma until I read that USA pans also makes those pans, therefore I ordered these. They are great pans for a great price!

Question: How long should be waited for the mattress to expand before sleeping on it??

It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room.The mattress opened up and expanded in a couple of hours. They indicate that you should wait 48 hrs before sleeping on it, however after a day it looks ready to go.I am having guests for the holidays so I will provide an update early next year, however so far so good.*update*Well the holidays are over and family/guests have moved on. Everyone totally enjoyed sleeping on the mattress.While I only had people sleeping on it for a week, they were different people with different physical sizes/ages and medical issues.Again, so far so good.It is now the middle of Feb. and my daughter has requested this mattress for her birthday.My wife and I are very happy with this mattress and highly recommend it.

Question: How much faster is the Breville compared to the GE oven?

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

Question: What should you do if you wash with hard water?

It's big, it's beautiful and it the smell reminds me of the beach! the straw mats you lay on It is thick and heavy and sturdy.....love the two tone. Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away) and keep some bamboo oil on hand and your set for a loooong time! :)

Question: What is one benefit to non locking legs?

This set of 3 stackable cooling racks seems to be well made, with one caveat. I was a little surprised that the legs don't lock into place (at least not that I can find), so you'll have to use both hands to hold the legs in place while sitting the cooling racks on the counter or stacking them onto each other. Otherwise they tend to collapse, potentially dumping your baked goods into the floor. The folding legs are nice when it comes to storing them, since they take up less space, but there really needs to be a way to lock them into place during use.

Question: This product is not as loud as what?

This does an excellent job of evenly grinding coffee without the noise of an electric burr grinder, although I would not use it instead. This will be the preferred grinder on my boat over the also noisy blade grinder, since it grinds so evenly, whereas with the blade grinder you will end up with a mixture of course chunks to fine powder. It's a bit small to hang on to and will grind only enough for a few cups at a time which is perfect for me and my crew.

Question: How does the dinnerware look and feel?

The red looks good with our Empire Red Kitchen Aid appliances. The look and feel of the dinnerware is excellent. The plates are large, the bowls are deep and the mugs hold all the coffee I need (which is a lot).We've had the set for 4 months now, and have only chipped one plate and a bowl somehow developed a long crack from top to bottom. Not a big deal since it is Stoneware, which does break if you aren't careful. We wash ours in the dishwasher all the time, so accidents will happen. I'm still satisfied. Besides, the local supermarket is selling these as well so I can easily purchase a replacement as needed. The price I paid on Amazon.com for the entire set was a much better deal.

Question: What does the author want to accomplish with the drain?

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: How did the pillows hold up after 30 days?

Updated 2/28 - 4 months now and they have become a staple on the bed. Still fluffy and yet firm and absolutely no feathers. Glad I bought an extra set for the other bed. Can't go wrong with these.After 30 days they're still fluffy and holding up to use daily. I use them as support for my other pillows against the headboard. Basically to cover the gap between the mattress and headboard, but in the morning they've always found their way to typical pillow mode. I do make sure I fluff a little when making the bed, but there is no breakdown and no feathers of any kind. Will update if this changes, but great deal and no problems. Not even from Mrs allergic to everything.

Question: What happened after a few months?

This was a great skillet when new. The size, shape, weight and non-stick coating were just what I wanted. But after just a few months of casual use, the non-stick coating has begun to come off all along the upper edge. We don't use metal utensils or scouring pads nor have we ever run it through the dishwasher or tried to deep fry in the thing. Its just peeling off for no reason. I'm really disappointed for this being a Farberware product.

Question: What floors can you use the vacuum on?

I've only had the vac for a day or so but tested it by using it on all carpets and hardwood floors in the house. Battery held up with plenty of charge...don't know how much longer it would go....and it cleaned both carpets and floors very well. I had used our central vac a week ago and I still filled the container twice. I then took the handle off and used it on the furniture and it picked up a lot of dust and lint. Being able to turn the brushes on and off is real plus. I hung it on the side of the bookcase in the family room...I liked it well enough to drill two small holes in the bookcase to mount it. So far I am very pleased with the machine.

Being able to turn the brushes on and off is real plus. I hung it on the side of the bookcase in the family room... I liked it well enough to drill two small holes in the bookcase to mount it. So far I am very pleased with the machine.

Question: is it curved or straight?

This pan comes out of the box looking almost like some sort of alien technology. It is polished to a mirror shine, is designed with nice curves and will look awesome on your table with a perfectly roasted turkey or roast beef. All of the roasting pans I used before were either decades old and covered with the baked on remnants of a thousand family meals, or were non-stick contraptions with gray surfaces. This pan is fundamentally different.In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good. I was afraid of messing it up and it took me a long time to meticulously scrub it with Bon Ami after using it to cook a small turkey, a roast beef and a duck (not together of course).For aspiring Martha Stewart's there is an easy fix. Roast your meats in a beat-up roasting pan, transfer the fully-cooked meat to this pan before serving and then enter the dining room with this pan in perfect shape. If you're a little less fussy, lining the inside with heavy aluminum foil prior to roasting will make your clean up much easier.

Question: What is the purpose to buy these cloths?

Purchased these to use as cleaning cloths. When they get real dirty or stained, I'll throw them out. They're good for someone who uses a clean washcloth everyday. I would't use them a my main or guest wash cloths. They are soft.

Question: What did the reviewer think the reasoning for the price was?

These were a gift. They make for an attractive presentation, are extremely easy to clean with a warm water and soap soak, and the built in handle indentations make this a nice choice as serving pieces. My only gripe is the price. I think these are way too pricey and no doubt the result of marketing an item under a celebrity's name. Otherwise, these are functional and attractive and cool because they can be stored nestled within one another to take up less space.As for the color chosen, the person who gave this to me knew I wouldn't care for some of the color choices and was wise to go with white. It's my favorite non-color color because it works with my kitchen and looks fresh and clean.

Question: How does the buyer describe the trigger on this device?

I have both a machine shop as well as a cafe, and I can vouch for this product being well made, for the most part.The canister itself is not just stamped, but spun then all threads are machined. These are very expensive operations and I am impressed with that arrived for a reasonable price.The charge cap is also made heavy duty, however, there is a pressure relief hole drilled at the end and the burrs were left inside. I know it is difficult to remove these burrs but not impossible. The hole is drilled in a corner and out of the way, but anything can happen which COULD puncture a charger accidentally. Perhaps this was just the one I got, but who knows?The threads on the canister was nicely machined, but there are a couple threads that look like before or after the thread cutting operation were done, the tool came down and cut away some of the threads. Only 2 out of 4-5 threads are affected which might mean the machine operator was able to stop the program before it cut all the way through. After examining the product, I wouldn't see any intentional purpose for these. This shows poor workmanship in the part programming and manufacturing departments, but doesn't seem to affect performance at all.Because of these two things, I rated this product a 3 instead of a 4.The trigger is a little wide and not too ergonomic but not horrible.Keep in mind that after the canister is charged, the first squeeze will come out a little watery and runny, but that may be due to the water from washing the canister before use. After that, foamed foods come out perfectly.Also keep in mind NOT to use 12g chargers. They are about an inch longer than the 8g chargers and won't fit the included charger cylinder. The 8g chargers are appropriate for this product.You may end up purchasing at least two of these, as you may want, for example, one for a mousse and one for whipped cream. Otherwise you will probably need to use up all your mousse, clean the canister and make whipped cream. This is my next step; order another one.

Question: What is the primary change the author would like in the product's size?

I read the dimensions for this and I thought it would be perfect. It's my fault I want it to be a tad bigger, but I just do. Maybe just a half an inch or inch larger in either direction, and it would be perfect, but don't get me wrong this is a good little griddle. I've cooked steaks, pork chops, bacon and eggs, etc on this and it works very well. Yet, I brought this primarily for breakfast and it's hard to fit 3 thick slices of bacon and two eggs on there. I can make it work, but I don't have the egg shaper pictured in the advert. Who knows maybe I'll get that one day, but without it is hard to get everything on there without stuff running into each other. Again though, this is a great personal griddle that will fit in any cabinet and the price makes it worth it. I'll probably get a bigger one, but for now I'm satisfied with what I got. Just be sure you clearly understand that the dimensions of the grill are exactly what they say, so if you want something bigger then don't buy this grill.

Question: Whose name appears on the blade of the butter knife?

I found this to be a very nice, fairly light set of flatware that's standard in design, enabling you mix them in with just about any existing silverware of dinnerware patterns you have.In the box you'll find four of the following: butter knives (aka dinner knife), dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons, and tea spoons, for a total of twenty pieces. Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle, terminating at the head of the utensil. Rachel's name appears on the blade of the butter knife and the backs of the other utensils. That may be an issue for some people, but I don't mind it.While each piece of flatware is made of stainless steel and claims dishwasher safe, after about the third or fourth washing, I found a noticable bend in three out of the four larger fork prongs. The middle prongs were bent slightly forward. These were run through the normal wash cycle each time; they weren't crowded in the silverware basket; nor did the other forks from mixed sets bend. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this.

Question: What does some complain about the egg timer?

I've used this egg timer many times and my eggs always turn out perfect. I'm surprised some say it has a plastic chemical smell to it. I've never had that problem. My brother-in-law made deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and his eggs were overcooked (green around the yolks) even though he followed a recipe for boiling eggs. This takes the guesswork out of it. I made a macaroni salad tonight and used this timer for my eggs. Once again, absolutely perfectly cooked yolks with no green tint. I would totally recommend. I'm buying one for my brother-in-law.

Question: What's one of the problems described that might limit where you can use the portable A/C unit?

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock, but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. First the portability. Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs, but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. The portable in the title doesn't imply lightweight to some, so I'm making the clarification here.The portable unit covers about 550 square feet, which is wonderful if you have a small apartment, loft or studio. It's also wonderful to have if you live in an apartment complex where AC is only on from say, May to August and you experience a heat wave or you live in the South where it's still warm long after Summer ends. In any of these cases this A/C unit will be a godsend. This would also be great on a screened in porch.Now even though you don't need to put the unit in a window, you do need to use one for the Window, which again limits the actual portability for the unit. The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

Question: Is organic coffee available for this machine?

if you are deciding what kind of machine to get, think of this: do i want frothing or not. if your preference is froth, then this machine is for you. the frothing is excellent. if you like regular coffee, i would go with kerug (sp). when i got my machine, one of the glasses was cracked. i emailed the company and they corrected the problem right away. they do have good customer service. the machine is nice, though mostly cheap plastic. my main compliants are: regular coffee is terrible, not a lot of variety of coffee, and no organic coffee, so far. another problem, at least for this model, is all the water does not drain out and there always is a little in the container. so unless you use it daily or keep dumping out the container, the water will get stale. cleaning the water container is a lot of work too, especially in the corners. you can also accumulate bonus points for free stuff. problem with it is they only give you 5 points per box and you need 100 to get something free. i would get a demonstration and taste if you can before getting this.

Question: do they hold wet towels well?

These are really good hooks, but not nearly as strong as the original suction hooks that came out years ago. That being said, the bathroom in our new house has nowhere to hang towels near the shower door since the entire enclosure is glass. We have four of these stuck directly to the shower glass and they hold wet towels easily and rarely fall off. You have to be sure to affirmatively engage the suction cup directly to the surface before you lock the hook down. I am pleased enough with these because it's hard to find a clear plastic suction hook that actually sticks and these have been better than any others I have found.

Question: Is the tea ball a good buy?

Question: Who does the author recommend this knife to?

When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it.Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat.I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. And if I ever get around to cooking myself one of those big steamship rounds, well, I'm all ready for the slicing ! This knife is great for hams and turkey breasts as well.My only complaint (and it isn't much of a complaint) was that it could have been just a little sharper when I got it, but since regular sharpening and steeling are just part of the routine of using a knife like this, it wasn't a big deal. Just know that you may not be getting the optimum performance out of this knife if you haven't sharpened it since it arrived.If you serve much meat, I wholeheartedly recommend you consider this knife. Nothing beats it for the ability to produce beautiful slices with a minimum of effort and skill.

Answer: If you serve much meat,

When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it. Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat. I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches.

Question: What is the mat used for a lot?

I love this mat for everything. It is of good heft (not flimsy) and makes it extremely easy to knead dough or roll out pizza or pie dough to an exact size. There are even two pizza recipes printed on it. Clean up is a breeze and little if any product is left behind on this mat. It also keeps the counter clean. I only hope the printed information stays for years but since it is probably silicone as well, I don't have any worries. It is one of those things you might not think you need but once you have it you'll use it every day.

Question: What does the customer say this is a great product for?

When this vacuum came in a small square box, I wasn't quite sure what to think. However, after taking a little time to put it together (with the help of hubby), I'm happy to say this vacuum delivers what it promises. It's a great vacuum for someone who has heavy duty cleaning needs. It's sturdy and has great suction power. I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer.This vacuum is definitely built more for corporate cleaning than household cleaning - there is no twisting or bending, no hose with various nozzles for cleaning stairs. This is a straight-forward heavy duty vacuuming machine.

Question: What is the author's overall thoughts on the scale?

I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

Question: What is a negative that the reviewer has claimed?

Absolutely love how this looks in my bathroom. Its not as long as other curtains I've had, so some may want to lower the curtain rod. I personally like that its not so close to the floor. Only semi-negative things I have to say is that some of the slits for the rings weren't all the way cut through so I had to use scissors to open them. If you use a vinyl curtain behind it, it is not see-through but without it you can see right into the shower. I bought a cheap frosted one and VIOLA! problem solved :)

Question: What product is the writer reviewing?

Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch. Love this item. I ordered one and liked it so much I got another one. I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. I transfer them from the baking sheet, covered with a Silpat, to the cooling rack after about 8 or 10 minutes. While still soft, but I wait until they won't pull apart while transferring. Then I let the cookies cool completely on this rack. It works great, the cookies don't stick to it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cooling rack, especially for cookies directly onto the rack.

Question: How long will the user be without a bed?

I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. They obviously don't know how to weld two pieces of metal. In pursuing action on my warranty I find I will be without a frame for the bed for over two weeks at least. Leggett and Platt are not very helpful. Seems I need to wait for the parts and then arrange for a service call. And so on. I was told thatconsidering the damage to the frame they would probably just replace the item. Oh no, they won't. So I will be without a bed for over two weeks and then I wonder once they fix it will it be broken again in another few months. Do yourself a favor, don't buy this product.

Question: What must the advertisement have claimed about the smell?

owning a bar means i have likely the worst schedule for sleeping possible. consequently i smoke before going to bed so i can sleep. my wife hates the smell of smoke almost as much as i do but as its a necessary "evil" such is life. it isn't an issue when its warm but during the winter months here in colorado we often get so cold that the windows freeze shut. no more going outside to smoke this really does what its advertized to do. no noticeable odor and it just keeps on working. noted the tip from another reviewer who made mention of placing a fabric softner sheet over the mouth end, actually a half sheet will do just fine. in doing so you greatly increase how long the smoke buddy will last as the sheet catches a lot of heavier tars exhaled instead allowing them to muck up the insides ending its usefullness sooner rather than later, and it doesn't impede airflow one bit.

Question: What is the real problem the customer is dealing with?

This is just so much nicer than the plastic expandable tension rod. It was not hard to hang up but you need two people to install it for sure. Read the directions and measure measure measure!! The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 star is not REALLY a problem with the rod but my bathroom. It pushes the curtain further out from the tub - which it's supposed to. However my sink sits pretty close to my tub - it's tight quarters. So now the shower curtain catches in the drawer all the time and I really hate it. It's a minor inconvenience except for I bought a nice curtain that has now gotten all snagged up :( The directions about hanging the rod are very focused on getting you to put it up right over the ledge of the tub where a normal rod would mount - they never get you to check the clearance of anything else in the room.

Question: What should you do if the bacon seems rubbery?

This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time. I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. Draping a napkin over the bacon keeps the splatter down.The bacon came out crispy and dry, just as I prefer. Some reviews said their bacon was rubbery, and I think they just didn't cook long enough. Half-way through cooking, bacon always looks rubbery in the microwave. Keep cooking!

Question: Can the wok be cleaned with a dishwasher?

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.
