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

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

Question: What year did they first use the Exo Super Peel?

I've owned and used an Exo Super Peel since 2006. I just used it today, to move some soft/sticky Italian bread loaves from my kitchen counter to a perforated loaf pan. No sticking, no hassles. It was much easier than trying to roll/slide/move the loaves into the pan any other way.The Super Peel is great when moving soft/sticky pizza or any sort of dough from your working surface into the oven. It's MUCH better than a traditional "peel". Less sticking, less deformation of a sticky dough creation.I like it...a lot!

Question: When was the reviewers house built?

I wish two things----the cabinets were bigger, and they didn't wobble back andforth after they're put together. I wish the shelf space were deeper. I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things....oops!I needed them (2) in my kitchen since my house was built in 1889 and backthen the people were teeny-tiny and kitchen cabinets were not very large,and closets were tiny for these tiny people, so I got these cabinets for mykitchen to hold the extra pots & pans. As far as putting them together, I paida handy man to do that for me. They didn't look too hard, though. I recentlyput my own gas barbecue together----maybe that's why it didn't look hard.Bottom line: they're cute but they wobble a little bit.

Question: What happens to the eggs when using this product?

I had never eaten soft boiled eggs, and on whim purchased this unit after reading other positive reviews. I'm very satisfied. If care is taken to use the exact amounts of water indicated on the included graduated cylinder, the eggs come out perfect. An obnoxious buzzer sounds when eggs are done. Cooker does not shut off automatically, but it would be hard to ignore the buzzer.Easy to clean, I have a water softener so I don't have to worry about mineral deposits. Hard water could require more maintenance than I find needed.

Question: What keeps the bowl from sliding around?

You can count on OXO Good Grips to come up with good products and this 3-Piece Bowl and Colander Set is a Godsend! Mine arrived on November 26, 2013 and I've already put it to use for my holiday cooking. The bowl, lid and colander are remarkably strong and contain no BPAs. I like the handles on the colander and the nonslip bottom on the bowl, which keeps you from having to hang onto it lest it slips. The lid has clasps which makes the bowl a good storage place for keeping your food fresh. It is very attractive and works well. It has already scored bonus points in my kitchen and I love it!

Question: For how long did the blender work?

Loved the blender but the motor died within 6 months. At first the blender was fairly quiet and then as time went by it got louder and louder until I had to wear ear plugs to use it. About the time I had enough of the sound, the motor died completely and threw it away. I did use half frozen bananas in the shakes and thought that maybe that is why it didn't last as long but my mom, who bought this blender about a month after we bought ours just used fresh veggies and fruit and she was just complaining this morning that it was getting obnoxiously loud.... I just bought a 20 dollar unit from Faberware. It is not as good as the Nutri Bullet but a lot cheaper!

Question: What allows for a narrower width?

This is my second simplehuman product. As with the first, a shower rack, I am quite happy. The design of this trash can is quite good. The step lever works well, gently opening and closing. The height allows for a somewhat narrower width which helps in my relatively small kitchen. There is minimal assembly involved when you take the can out of the box. Instructions are sensible and simple, and most are affixed to the can itself. It has a pet proof locking lid which I will appreciate every time I drop bones into the can watched by two drooling and determined poodles. It also seems to seal nicely, which will keep kitchen odors down.

Question: What do do you drain directly into?

I use this in a basement closet that is isolated from the rest of the basement (which is treated by a larger dehumidifier.I hooked this up with a timer so it comes on every few hours. Also, even though it is not made this way, I was able to drill a hole in the lower front of the reservoir and plumb a drain tube into the unit (much like you see on larger/more expensive units). This allows it to drain directly into the HVAC drain line in the floor, so I never need to empty it. Take your time with drilling the hole as the plastic is a little brittle, but as long as it's sealed with silicone/teflon tape, you should be good to go!

Question: What size skillet did the reviewer's wife choose?

My wife said that she wanted an electric skillet for Christmas so I did a ton of research on Amazon and this one had the best and most believable ratings I could find. Told the wife to measure and be sure of the size she wanted and she chose the 16 inch. The skillet couldn't be better, It is solidly built and very streamlined with everything handily in place for easy usage. The only problem we have found is that the wife didn't quite do her homework and we find that this big guy takes a LOT of counter space and storage space. However, we have decided that it is worth it and we will never want for a great turkey cooker if all the family drops in for a Christmas dinner.

Question: What is used by the reviewer when they want to make a larger amount of ice cream?

I love this for making small batches of ice cream. When I want to make multiple batches, I use my full size Hamilton Beach ice cream freezer. This is perfect for single batches or small batches only. Keep it in the deep freezer, and it is always ready to use. I have had this for more than a year, and I have come to realize that to get the ice cream to the right consistency you must keep the bowl in the deep freezer. When I kept it in the freezer attached to the refrigerator, the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency.

Question: Where did the author decided to put the laundry basket?

I replaced a much cheaper one that had lasted me five years, but that was sagging and nearly toppling over-- plus the zipper had broken. I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for. Very sturdy, and though less wide than my old one, actually a much better use of space: I have room under it, because of the wheels, to put shoes in, and because it is metal, the bottom shelf is usable which it wasn't on the old one (had been just cardboard). On one side, I have dresses, and on the other, blazers. Under the blazers, I have my laundry basket, and under my dresses, there's still room on the bottom shelf for other folded up clothes. The rack is sturdy enough that I could store things on the top if I wanted, as well, but I'm not doing so for aesthetics... I'll let you know how the cover works out.

Question: What is made free of chemicals and is PTFE and PFOA free?

The first thing we love about Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is the fact that its from nature and helps support greener living. Free of chemicals 100% PTFE and PFOA free and I use very minimnal oil and have had no sticking. The green is a perfect shade of green that matches my kitchen decor.The first time we used the pan we, of course used a dry cloth to wipe it out. Then I used 1 table spoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to season the pan and because its better for you too. But we should have used less than that because we had a little extra oil in the pan to begin cooking our stir fry. We first added meat and browned it just a little bit before adding vegetables.Then we added carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, with just a little bit of Teriyaki seasoning. The Ecozeri Green Earth wok is a must have in any kitchen. It holds the heat well, but is non-stick enough that you would have to try to burn its contents. Its is 12 inches in diameter which is the perfect size for any size family.Green Earth Wok by Ozeri has 5 layers that make great pans they are: Ecozeri Multilayered coating that is a powerful non stick ceramic layer, Premium Top Ceramic Layer, Aluminum, Pro-base Ceramic Coating Layer, and a Ceramic Coating Bond Layer. It is oven safe has a comfortable handle and easy to use, wash, cook and clean who doesn't love those features in a pan!!

Question: The customer wanted to reduce the waste associated with what product?

I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. Our French Press is great but many mornings it's just one of us drinking and only one or two cups per day, so I bought this Kuerig product thinking it would be the answer. It is AN answer but the coffee it brews is not. I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak.If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. I reached up to the seal that would prevent the leakage and moved it down a bit but it still leaks.I could probably live with a little water leakage but not the sadly weak brew that results.I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) but this filter just doesn't do it.Perhaps there's too much filter screen and the water isn't allowed enough time in contact with the ground coffee. I've tried cutting the top bit off a K cup and placing it into the My K-cup, then dropping the provided filter in which seems to help, but not much.There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps.This item isn't worth it.

Question: What noise level is produced when the lid is closed?

Was looking for a lidded trashcan to hold a decent amount of baby diapers without being too large. I have the smaller (4.5 L) and larger (30L) Simple Human trash cans, an wanted something in between that would hold smells in well.Baby's not here yet to test with diapers, but we tried it out with food garbage. Unlike some of the other Simple Human trashcans meant for the kitchen, I think the heft of the metal lid on this one keep smells more well contained. Size is just right for our needs. Love that the lid closes slowly and quietly, so it won't wake up baby. Retro design is awesome, but a little bulky.Expensive, but a very good quality product.

I've only tried the brown rice setting and the steamer setting on this rice cooker and it worked fine. I cook 1 cup of brown rice in this rice cooker and filled it up to the 1.5 mark on the pot. I would not recommend leaving brown rice on the 'Warm' setting too long. It dries out the rice on the bottom. Note: It takes a little more than an hour to cook brown rice in this thing. The previous rice cooker I used to use which was a Panasonic fuzzy logic rice cooker, it took 2 hours to cook brown rice. The Aroma rice cooker has also a up to 10-hr timer setting. Good to have when you want your rice to be done by the time you get home.

Answer: 1.5

Question: What material is the storage bag made from?

The storage bag I got is different from the picture. It's a mesh see-through material, where in the picture it doesn't look like it would be see-through. It still does what it's supposed to, so no complaints. I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet.

Question: What happened one year into using the product?

Like a previous reviewer, I have had this unit for six years also and experienced the pumping performance going down over the years. In the last three years, I have just been struggling with the water pump, but I did not replace it because it is an expensive unit.One year into using the unit, the hinge of the lid started to loosen off, but the lid still works.I was just looking at the lid again and noticed that all the three screws rusted badly. That is the last straw. I am researching for a new pot. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated!Other than that, I would say that this unit has worked and met its purpose. I am overall happy with it.

Question: How much should the product be filled?

I bought this product to carry hot water to warm my baby's bottle while I'm out since portable bottle warmer options are pretty sad. I boil the water and fill it half way. Couple of hours later, I open the lid and it's still steaming hot and warms up his bottle way faster than the electric bottle warmer I have at home. It's slim and small enough to fit in the diaper bag. I was somehow thinking 16oz was bigger cause I wanted to use it for food after my boy grows out of bottles, but I am a big eater and this would only hold a snack portion for me. :) But it would be great for can of soup or chilli since it keeps things piping hot for hours. After about 5 hours though, water was only lukewarm.

Question: Why did the reviewer buy a new cup?

I checked consumer reports for well-rated insulated travel tumblers because I was tired of sipping on luke warm to cold coffee when driving. This one was the right size at the right price. I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours. As a bonus, when I purchase coffee and have it filled in my tumbler rather than the store provided styrofoam or paper cup, I only get charged for the coffee. It's reusable which means no coffee cups and tops for the trash heap at the end of the day. I'm giving it four rather than five stars because there has got to be a flaw with the design. I just haven't found it yet.

Question: What is warm around the appliance?

This works--will reduce humidity down to 45% which is the lowest I have tried to go with it. It is easy to use. Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it. It is easy to turn on, easy to set the desired humidity level. I've been using it off and on only for about four weeks so I can't speak for its durability. It looks like the picture, not unattractive. I find it a bit noisy--worse than my air conditioner but you get used to the sound. It does warm the air around it, so I've avoided using it on hot days. It is heavy--therefore a battle to get out of the package. But it rolls from room to room easily. If there are any problems with it as I use over a longer period of time, I'll add a post to my review.

Question: What happened after typing up the review?

This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. It's a solid, well-constructed set that seems like it will hold up for a long time.*update* Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack. This is a floor that things usually shatter in million pieces on too (we've had that happen with glasses and a pitcher). That shows how solid these are.*2nd update* I was just carrying items out of the room and the pepper shaker slipped and flew out of my hand and landed under a chair (no carpet, hard floor) and I said to myself that's going to be a mess...went to look and it was all in one piece, not even a crack! I just bumped these up to a 5 star, they've earned it.

Question: What size are they

Granite counters have taken a toll on my glassware and so, being down to a mis-matched 6 or so remaining, I was torn between plastic (cheesy) and a better glass product. After reading many Amazon customer reviews on the above mentioned glassware, I chose to replace my mess with 12 new ones and I love them! Sure, with a hard enough drop, they will still break but not easily. I believe that these glasses are of restaurant/bar/commercial quality and will last a good long time and for the price, I think that I may just buy another set for back-stock.So, if you want a great glass in a large size and you don't want plastic, I completely recommend these glasses.

Question: What will happen to a stain on the stone?

This stone does not leave my oven because I use it so much. So far I have baked artisan bread, pizza crust, pastries, pretzels, and all other types of bread on it and it keeps on asking for more.The only problem you will encounter is if you make pizzas on it or bake breads that have a higher than normal oil content that will stain the stone, the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken. This does not take away from the performance at all, so dont let that slow you down from buying it.

Question: Where is one kept to dry tiles?

They are a little small but thats why we chose them. We keep one in the shower to dry down the tiles after each shower and even though small they pull the water off the tiles just fine. We use a 2nd one to keep the moisture down/clean the inside of our casement windows. The small size is just right to pull down on each pane of the window and collect the condensation in a rag during the winter. The white color of the rubber blade doesn't leave any marks on our glass, tiles or grout like some of the black bladed ones have in the past. We keep the 3rd one as a backup. Great price.

Question: what is used to engage and cut lids?

This opener is what the US made "Swing-a-Way" was 50+ years ago. Unfortunately, that name is not worthy of the design. Steuby & Co. made their production on that really works. Steuby's can opener has fluid gear mesh and longer twist handle to give better leverage than other designs. The knife is sharp and angled correctly in order to engage and cut lids. The insulated red handles of the grip cover just a little longer "tang" of metal, allowing for better grip on targeted can. The unit has endured Industrial washing and all the metal is still unblemished, indicating superior quality steel. All the details were identified, considered and executed perfectly in design and manufacture. This is the superior product. The second place can opener goes to 4 Peaks Tech, for their unit.

Question: What shape does the product have to protect the user's fingers from the glass?

I'm a tea drinker, and I've been using this French press on a near-daily basis since I got it. (I'll save it for coffee for when I have visitors.) The press itself is very nice-looking. The carafe has a Pyrex feel, and it's surrounded in places by plastic to protect your hands from heat. With the exception of the flimsy plastic lid, the plunger is made of stainless parts, and it glides easily down the carafe. My tea tastes fantastic when brewed in this French press.The only thing I don't care for is the awkward feel of the handle. I assume it's curved like that to protect the user's fingers from the glass, but the result is that the carafe becomes top heavy. Maybe if the handle was a bit lower, it would not have that problem. A minor issue, to be sure, because otherwise I love this French press.Note: I received a sample of the product in exchange for an honest review.

Question: What room is the air filter located in?

This small air cleaner is best for very small areas. It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes. It can also be mounted on a wall if you don't have a place for it to sit. Replacement filters are relatively expensive at $42.00. It's fairly quiet on low and has strong airflow. I think it's a too noisy and too small for the average bedroom. Permanent filter doesn't really mean permanent however. Permanent filters do become clogged over time and simply must be replaced. It's a decent little unit for very small areas.......recommended!!!!

Question: What type of milk does the author plan to test in the future?

The Deni 5600 Yogurt Maker is a good product, especially considering the price. I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it. Using 1/2 cup of natural Greek yogurt as a starter, 1 1/2 cups of 1% milk, and 1/2 cup of dry milk, I get good yogurt in 10 hours. (There are instructions that go with these ingredients that are too long to list here.) It's still slightly thinner than I like, so I'm going to try using 2% milk next time.The big drawback I've found, which I initially thought would be a plus, is the six 6-oz. jars. I didn't know this, but you don't add flavoring until the yogurt is fully incubated, so having separate containers is no particular advantage. In fact, it's less convenient, since I still empty the yogurt into a small bowl before eating it, and that's when I mix in any fruit or flavoring I want. Consequently, the next yogurt maker I buy will be one with a large, 1-qt. container rather than the small individual ones.

Question: What does large dog hair do to the brushes?

The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning. I gave my second one away to my son but now I am sorry I did because it would really be handy to keep one on each floor. It stores neatly and is great for picking up crumbs under tables etc. My house stays a lot cleaner and I only have to drag the vaccum cleaner out once a week - good for me! Good for my back.

The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair <hl> winds around <hl> the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning.

Question: what temperature was the water?

The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers. But I'd also like a decent cup o' joe, thank you. I tried this with my favorite French Roast expecting this to be like the "socks" popular in Latin America. I used what I thought was a generous measure and was careful that my water was boiling hot. I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip.Think this might be great for brewing tea, so I'll hang on to it for the next time I'm sick

Question: Can you brew with one touch using the Vue?

I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down.

Question: How did they rate the sound level of the A/C unit?

My apartment is an old Victorian and some of the windows are TINY (15" wide)! We have a little alcove where our chinchilla lives and we decided to get a window A/C unit for her during a recent 90 degree spell. I realize that this probably sounds insane to non-chinchilla owners, but oh well. Anyways, this unit fit in the window, although we were unable to extend the fins due to our narrow window.I do have a few complaints though:- the unit is pretty loud- there is a HUGE discrepancy between the level 6 and 7 (coldest) setting- the cord is pretty shortOther than that, it works pretty well for our small 6x4 alcove (which we've blocked off with a curtain)

Question: What material was the old oven mitt?

I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. These mitts are okay. They are very good for being "grippy" of hot cookie sheets. The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven. The thumbs are a little stiffer than I am used to with the old fabric ones, and they stick out a little more. The mitts are kind of expensive too. I haven't tried to clean them yet, so I'm not sure how they stack up there.Definitely good and "grippy", if that is what you are looking for.

Question: Does the writer recommend the holder?

It's a very nice holder - not too big and not too small. It fits any lipstick, lip gloss, chapstick, etc nicely. I love that I'm able to see what I have and not have to dig through a makeup bag anymore. I would highly recommend.

Question: what started to appear in the water

I have had 3 or 4 kettles in the last couple of years. The Oxo, which is as/more expensive, went to hell so fast it was bizarre: warped, looking like it was fished out of a dumpster. Then I got another one that was a disaster: also got ugly weeks into its tour of duty. Second one was an even bigger disaster though because the hole was not big enough to get my hand down inside and white stuff started to appear in the water.This one works fine, and there is no problem pouring using it (??). It is staying clean, though as is the case w/all stainless, keeping it clean means special treatment. Still, 10x better than the other two I had.

Question: What steel will hold a great edge and can easily be sharpened?

Bought it primarily for use breaking down rabbits. I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo. It is a very heavy cleaver that appears to hold a great edge. The blade image is a bit misrepresented, it's carbon steel - so it will get dark. You can shine it up with steelwool if ya want it shiny. The carbon steel will hold a great edge and can easily be sharped. I'm not sure how I got by this long without one in my kitchen.

Question: What other product does the author have that is long lasting?

I bought this at a big box store, which thankfully is not too far from my home, as it had to be returned before using it. Assembles quite easily- no tools needed except your hands & patience to get the front grill snapped on.However--no set screw to hold inner adjustable tubing (they call it the pedestal) in place.. kept sliding down despite being screwed in as tight as possible. Motor head fits on this tube, and once in place, tube slid down again. There is also a great big circle base- huge.After ascertaining that the sliding down pedestal was going to continue to do just that (it slides so far down the motor doesn't fit snugly onto the tube), back it went for a refund. Very frustrating waste of time.I have a small, older Vornado that is now over 15 years old, made in USA. It's still going strong. Hopefully the newer models are as well made, as I guess I'll have to get off twice as much money. But it will be worth it.

Question: What makes crushing garlic easier?

Everything about this press - the build quality, the levering action that makes it easier to crush garlic (even with the skin on!) I love.When I'm crushing a bunch of garlic, I peel all the pieces except for the last one. This way, I don't have to clean out the press after each crush, and the skin on one at the end makes it easier to clean out because the skin sort of "pulls out" the garlic bits. Also, being able to leave the skin on is great for all those tiny little cloves of garlic in the middle of the bulb that are a pain to peel.

Question: Does the product come in multiple colors?

Works as advertised. The only thing i wish it didn't have was "hang away" right smack in the middle of the front of the product. This product only comes in white but can probably be easily spray painted to match any decor shower bathroom etc wherever you put it. It can fit up to four toothbrushes and two razors comfortably (I was able to fit three razors, two being venuses and one being schick sp? comfortably on one product. I bought two of these products in case I needed another one but haven't used the second one. You have to mess with it since all different toothbrushes and razors are different sizes. It sticks on whatever surface you want it to be on. I haven't taken it off so I'm not sure what that is like but judging from what stuck it on seems to take some elbow grease to take it off but it will come off completely but that goes to show that this thing will hold some pretty heavy things and if you really wanted to I'm sure it would hold an oral b electronic toothbrush. Just follow the instructions to put it on and you are good to go. This product works great and hasn't come off or moved the slightest and i've had it for almost a year and i've cleaned my bathroom numerous times with this thing still in place and i've even scrubbed the sides of this product. there's not much build up that gets stuck around the product where i put it but i guess it depends on where you put it if gunk will build up around it but if it does like i said i've scrubbed the product and around it and it hasn't moved. Great product i would buy again

Question: What color of mug did the person's husband borrow?

I'm trying to cut plastics out of our lives, slowly but surely. I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals. This mug is metal completely except for the lid, so I'm compromising because the minimal contact with the plastic only while sipping is probably less dangerous than spilling boiling coffee on myself.Keeps my coffee very hot! Tight seal, no spills. I've even turned it upside down in my purse by accident when I was waking into work and no spill! My husband started borrowing my purple one because it keeps coffee so hot, so I got him a blue one and we're both happy now.

I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. Not that they can't 'last' in the pan without melting - just not suggested to keep them in there.The handles feel good, have a nice 'weight', and work well. Enjoy!

Question: Do you need to keep the items held?

These can be used with and without attaching them to the dogs. Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. I like the fact that they hold the work with minimum contact with it. This helps when I am finishing both sides and I have the work flat on a work table. If you use them with the dogs they just snap on and off. I guess there are other ways to get the job done and these are just a convenience.

Question: What do they use to make it more sturdy?

Hamper comes as advertised and is durable (with care of course).

Question: who could this be a danger for?

These are great little room heaters. We actually get cold here in Hawaii when we hit the damp rainy season and this takes the chill and moisture out. I used these in the mountains of NC too (over 3000 feet)and they are great--because once you get it hot, put it on lower settings and it maintains and uses less power. (Hawaii has the highest electric bills in the USA) It is enclosed and safe too. If you have children please be careful as THEY DO GET HOT! The coils get hot to the touch, enough to burn a child. Use common sense and place away from kids. My dog never sniffed and got a burned nose, so I think pets are smart enough to not nose the coils. Good buy.

I used these in the mountains of NC too (over 3000 feet)and they are great--because once you get it hot, put it on lower settings and it maintains and uses less power. (Hawaii has the highest electric bills in the USA) It is enclosed and safe too. If you have <hl> children <hl> please be careful as THEY DO GET HOT! The coils get hot to the touch, enough to burn a child. Use common sense and place away from kids. My dog never sniffed and got a burned nose, so I think pets are smart enough to not nose the coils.
