Question: does it have any additional functions?

This thing is POWERFUL. Compared to my Waring Professional blender, this Oster blows it out of the water. Yes, it has one speed (plus a "pulse" function), but you only need one speed anyway. And it is so powerful that I have yet to find anything that hasn't been completely blended within seconds. Simply put in ingredients, flip the switch, and five seconds later you have a perfectly blended drink.Be forewarned - you will NOT be able to hold a conversation while this thing is blending. It's almost as if an airplane is taking off in your kitchen. But it's over in seconds, so it doesn't matter. I'd take this blender over any other ANY DAY!

Question: What product do they have another of?

I have another Breville product (toaster oven) and love it. Had about a year now and it stilll works like when I first got it. Never any trouble or problems. So, I opted for the Stainless steel Electric pot and sure enough, it is just as great as my other Breville. Easy to use and boils very quickly. My last pot was Black & Decker, which by the way, was also an excellent pot.Breville products are a little on the expensive side, but in my opinion they are of good quality with nothing fancy, just basic for what you need to get done.Give them a try.

Question: What is bad?

My wife and I have bad feet and legs so standing on the hard linoleum after being on our feet all day was painful. We got these for in front of the stove and the sink and couldn't be happier.They are kind of funny that they hold the impression for just a minute after you walk away so you can see your foot prints or the dog's foot and butt prints after they walk away.The first two I got had creases in them that wouldn't go away. I laid them out for the 3 days recommended and they never went away. I ordered replacements and those had creases that went away in less than a day.These are worth the money and keep my comfortable and make cooking and cleaning less of a chore.

Question: Where was the recipient when the pad was placed on the bed?

I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase (along with the Density Visco 4 Pound Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper, 2-Inch Thick). I bought the set as a gift for my daughter and surprised her by putting the topper on while she was at work (the foam wasn't arriving until the next day). She felt a great difference with just the topper. When the foam arrived, we put it on together, and she called and raved about how much more comfortable her bed was and how well she slept. I decided that I would buy another set for a queen bed in my guest room. The packaging was incredible. When I opened the foam, there was absolutely NO odor and it laid flat immediately-perfect fit. Very, very satisfied with my purchases.

Question: What can cause it to feel like it will tip?

love this product; set up was sooooo easy; no screws at all, just follow the instructions step by step, takes about 20 mins to finish; soooo light and so portable. I put it to use last nite after a load of laundry; saw some minor flaws...1. due to it being so light, when you hang heavy towels, it feels like it could tip, so you'll have to balance the other side with another similarly heavy towel or garment2. the sock clips are a great idea, but they're made of plastic, I broke one already during installation3. space between each rail on the individual racks are a bit small, but manageableoverall, nice product

Question: How often do you have to refill the product?

I was expecting a little more out of this device than what I got, but it does work. I purchased this to help spread butter flavoring on popcorn. I can fill it up and spray the popcorn then sift a little extra flavoring and it works great. There are two areas in which I would really like to see this device improve...1. It seems silly to only be able to use half the bottle for product. Leaving very little space for the product meaning that you have to refill it pretty regularly.2. Not much pressure generated. While this does work I basically have to pump it a good 10x or so for each spray, which is bordering on too much work to make it useful.I'm not sure what it would take to resolve these two issues, but I removed a star for each of these.

Question: How much water does the author say they get out of the air every week?

This is a passive dehumidifier; you will not be pumping gallons of water out of your air every week. I think we get about 1.5L a week, which is enough to keep a good bit dampness out of our 30x30 basement. It puts off a little less noise than a small fan, which makes sense since internally it really is just a small fan. Not silent, but certainly very quiet.This unit has now been in operation 100% of the time for three years and hasn't skipped a beat or whined once.As long as your expectations are appropriate (you're paying $80 as opposed to hundreds for a dehumidifier that does real work [I mean that in a physics sense]), I think you'll be satisfied.

Question: What part of the product is flexible and transparent?

This is an attractive storage box made of wide-weave papery fabric. The see-through window is clear and flexible. The box was packed flat and arrived in two pieces: one is the entire box including the lid which is attached at the back; and the second piece is a firm, flat insert for the bottom of the box. It goes together in seconds. I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. InterDesign makes a variety of storage options, all of which seem to be reasonably priced. Mixing and matching the various containers seems like an easy way to organize a closet so that it stays tidy and looks great. I got this one for free in order to write an honest review, but I am going to buy more.

Question: How can you use the grill pan indoors?

For approximately three years I have used this grill pan to grill indoors. In fact I used it once again to prepare our Fourth of July barbecue inside the house as the wind was blowing. The wind blows here a lot, so I've used this pan many times to get the barbecue flavor indoors.I use my high heat burner to preheat the pan and then grill steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs on it. The pan leaves authentic grill marks on the food. It looks and pretty well tastes like food grilled on the outdoor barbecue grill.The pan is very easy to clean. I let the pan cool and then add a small amount of water to it. I then simmer the water to help release some of the barbecue mess. I gently scrub the pan with my nylon scrubber and I am done.Great tasting food with a pan that's easy to use and clean.

Question: What holiday was this received by?

I received this just prior to Thanksgiving this year so it was put into immediate use as I carried a home=made pumpkin pie to my neighbor's place on the mountain.I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. It does come with a 9 inch plate, but my 10 inch plates fit in perfectly.What a relief to not have to worry about the pie sliding off the car seat as I make my way up and down this twisting, turning, pot holed dirt road!

Question: what makes the scraper easy to use?

I've been very happy with this scrapper.It's worth knowing that unlike many scrapers this one relies on being sharp instead of being thin and flexible to scrape. I'm not sure if I find this to be an advantage or a disadvantage. It makes it a more multi-functional product for sure; however, I think it might slightly compromise the dough-scrapping-from-counter flagship role. I'm certainly not going to try and find a different scraper, just thought the difference was worth mentioning.The markings on the blade are very helpful and the nice thick handle makes it easy to use.

Question: How often does this person like to have frappes?

Receiived tonight and used it almost immediately I am the type of person who normally gets a frappe a couple times a week...keeping this in mind I figured the machine would pay itself off within a month. I am not dissappointed. The machine is super easy to use, takes regular coffee grounds and other items you would already have (milk, sugar, ect), and makes a pretty decent sized frappe. (the equiv of a super large or two medium drinks from mcdonalds or starbucks) I like the fact that I can control sugar and calorie content and switch up flavors.

Question: What happened to the cheese?

I love Microplane products but this one is terrible. It is difficult to grate cheese; had to apply a lot of pressure and as a result the cheese got warm in my hand and became soft and mushy. I also tired to slice potatoes on the microplane side and this is probably worse than the cheese grating side. The potato went through the blade fine but got stuck on the black plastic that hold the blade in place. If you're looking for that all in one item, this just isn't it. I returned it and splurged on the WMF grater.

Question: cookies and biscuits are known for what syndrome?

As most bakers know, parchment paper makes clean up after baking a whole lot easier. It also helps with the "black bottom" syndrome I used to see in my biscuits and cookies. When it comes time to purchase parchment paper, I'll be back for this one again. The paper is a little thinner than the box of Reynold's that I bought, but it still works as well and saves a LOT of money to boot! Some other reviewers have mentioned that it is only 165 feet instead of 205. This is correct, yet incorrect. The roll contains 165 lineal feet and 205 square feet. The difference is that the paper is a little wider than 12". Please don't let the numbers confuse you. This box is exactly as claimed.

Question: The real ugly problem not shown in the picture is what?

The actual product is smaller than it appears to be on the website. However, it is far too big for the kitchen (as it holds about a five year supply of sea salt) and too small for a bathroom, should you wish to use it there (it holds perhaps enough salt for maybe four baths).The real problem:Not shown in the picture are large labels top and bottom, which are ugly. The labels are attached with glue, which you must spend at least an hour or more trying to remove the labels piece by piece.Even goo gone will not take away the glue covered surfaces top and bottom. What your left with is an item that will look used (like you picked it up at a garage sale).Also, the magnets top and bottom are in such a location that it is impossible to align the lid with the base.While the picture looks nice, this product, due to the unattractive labels and poor alignment, has been reduced to a throw away product.

Question: What are the benefits of Zenith products?

I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use.Pros-heavy duty--looks nice--good for removing bathtub/shower clutter--I have had the product for over a month and have not yet noticed any rust.Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product-

Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product-

Question: What product did the user buy which resulted in this product being obtained for free?

I've had a $600+ set of Wusthof Classic knives for five years and had been using the sharpening steel that came with the set. I had not noticed any reduction in sharpness and would never have considered getting this sharpener if it had not come as a free bonus offer along with a set of Wusthof cheese knives I bought recently. Even then; I had not planned to use it, but decided to give it a try since it was made by Wusthof and there was no warning on it. To my surprise the paring knife that I tried first came out considerably sharper after a few easy passes through the "fine" side. I tried it on the other knives with similar results and will never go back to the sharpening steel. The cheap toy turned out to be a valuable tool!

Question: How big was the set?

The other reviewers are right! I purchased a set of 16 and have one left. I have NEVER had glasses that break like these. The shape of the base seems to be the problem. They crack for no apparent reason, at the base. I had one sitting on the counter, 5 minutes after I took it out of the cooled dishwasher, and it cracked. Another cracked while sitting in the cabinet, 30 minutes after being put away. Several cracked when we poured chilled beverages or put ice into the glass. VERY STRANGE! We really liked the shape and feel, but would not buy again! However, they were an experience!

Question: What do other reviews say about the toaster?

My cheapie 10 year old toaster finally stopped staying down on one side. I had been waiting for a reason to replace it for a few years and finally, this was it! Our kitchen has a lot of funky, retro pieces in it and the orange matches my 70's Sears mushroom cookie jars perfectly!I've seen other reviews saying that it took too long to toast but my old toaster needed to go twice on the highest setting to get English muffins crispy and today, I put them in the new toaster, half way, and they were dark. The slots aren't super deep that you need to get a pair of tongs to get your stuff out but they're plenty big enough to fit bagels and my homemade bread (which also didn't fit into my old toaster).My only complaint is...the power cord comes out of the front corner of the toaster and I think is pretty short. I actually had to rearrange where everything sat on my counters so that I could have it at an outlet it would reach. I can't wrap my head around why the power cord doesn't come out of one of the back corners. I have a cord running along side my toaster and then up and behind to the outlet. Not ideal looking but it works.

Question: What is the sizing of the bed?

We are VERY happy with this purchase even after two years of use. There has been no shrinking in the washer/ dryer and it's very effective at protecting our mattress, even from an attack of a toddler "accident"- leaving our mattress pee free! Two kids have now made it to toddlerhood making a mess of our bed, but our mattress is still safe! When we bought a king size bed to replace our queen, my husband asked "we're getting the same mattress cover, right?" I said yes. He said "the exact same one?" I was sure to make sure we did. It's safe and free of chemicals and plastics, really good at repelling liquids and makes NO NOISE when you lay on it.

Question: How hard is the juicer to disassemble and clean?

I wish I had read some of the reviews here before I got caught up in my late night excitement and spontaneity when I purchased this juicer. I most likely would have tried a different one first.I have no previous experience with juicers. I knew I wanted one that you could feed fruit and veggies into without a lot of prep. I had (perhaps foolish) visions of putting whole apples and oranges through my juicer, no peeling etc. Well, I know now there will always be some prep with certain foods. So that fantasy aside, I was still hopeful that for most things I could just feed them and get the pulp one side and the juice the other.This works that way for some fruits and veggies like apples, strawberries, tomatoes, carrots. Others like citrus, pineapple, watermelon need to have the skin removed first which is time consuming.What I like:1. You get a lot of juice. Most of the pulp seems pretty dry for what I have tried so far which is: apples, oranges, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, watermelon and pineapple.2. Dis-assembly and cleanup is fairly simple and quick. It says it's dishwasher safe, but I have so far just washed in warm soapy water right after juicing and everything cleans well except the filter.What I don't like:1. For most fruit and veggies you still have to prep somewhat. Most apples even have to be cut down since the ones on the market most of the time are too large for the spout. If you were wanting to use the pulp for a recipe, then you should remove seeds and stems if you don't want them.2. The filter clogs easily. And cleaning it is a chore, even with the cleaning brush that came with my "special package" advertised.3. Because the filter clogs easily, if you're making a large amount of juice (more than 2 to 3 cups juice), then you have to break everything down, clean it out, re-assemble and continue. Messy.Having now done some research on Amazon and elsewhere, I would have most likely tried the Breville before this.

Question: How much does their TV weight?

Exactly as described, except... that I expected to assemble it. It came assembled. I have a 50" plasma TV that weighs about 60 pounds on it and it holds it perfectly.I noticed that one of the reviews mentioned the underside of the top was unfinished. The one I received IS finished on the underside of the top. I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza to make room to place a dialog speaker in front of the stand.It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong.Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly.

Question: how often does the writer use this product?

We purchased two of these sets to replace some outdated dinner pieces that we had in our cabinetry. My wife was most impressed by the beauty of the pattern. The set is surprisingly lightweight yet durable. We have enjoyed using these pieces daily.Our only concern is that one of the pieces (a dinner plate) ended up with a burn mark/stain after being run through the dishwasher. Only one did this, and none of the others have since then. It's a cosmetic distraction, but is still disappointing considering how short of a time we have had the items. We are now watching the rest of the pieces carefully.That's the only reason I don't award 5 stars. Other than that, you won't regret purchasing this set!

Question: What did this person buy?

I bought these when I had a party at my house. These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans. After the party I've used these as my recycling bags that I keep in my pantry and garage. I used to use paper grocery bags, but they'd leak and the handles would often break. These sturdy bags are a nice alternative to my old bags and they hold a lot more so there are less trips to my outside roller cart. Overall a great buy.

Question: How does the cost compare to non-hand held products?

I wanted to purchase a food saver to use when I made smoothies. I bought small mason jars and the attachment to place over the lids to seal them. You do not have to use a hose with the hand held vacuum sealer. It works very well, costs much less than the non-hand held products, takes up less storage space and works well with the vacuum sealing bags that zip lock. I am going to purchase larger mason jars and the larger cap attachment and start to vacuum pack my salad. I am very happy with this product and can't wait to try it on other food items. I do not know how long the charge lasts but so far I have sealed at least 15 jars and it doesn't appear to need charging yet.

Question: What did the person purchase?

After reading the somewhat mixed, but mostly positive reviews on this product, I decided to purchase what I thought was a great coffee maker. I wanted a thermal carafe, and when it arrived with glass I assumed I'd made a mistake. The listing in fact does indicate this should be a thermal carafe, but it is NOT! After 3 weeks, the glass carafe is still in good shape and hasn't cracked like so many others have reported, but I'm treating it with extreme care. However, within the last couple of days we noticed stains appearing on the heating plate. We thought it was just coffee residue from dripping coffee. When we went to clean it with a sponge, the non-stick coating began to peel off. In fact, the stain was no stain but rather the exposed metal below the non-stick surface. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never had any coffee maker do this, even after many years of heavy use. I heard great things about Melitta, but now I'm unlikely to buy another; especially when I read that Hamilton Beach is the manufacturer of these units. I've owned Hamilton Beach products before and they are notorious for being cheap and breaking down quickly. Next time I will do more research and not rely on product reviews. The unit is going back!

Question: Did the poster have issues?

I love the VRT juicer. I watched a few videos on youtube and they helped me decide on this model. It does everything I've put into it, with no issues at all. I do cut the pieces into smaller pieces, and rotate veggies/fruits as I juice (as the videos on you tube suggest) and have had great success. I also do greens like spinach and kale. It's small enough to stay on my countertop which I think reminds me to use it more. Parts are easy to clean and after a few tries I've gotten the hang of it and can put it together pretty quickly. For the price, features, I recommend it!

Question: How much is CO2?

We have a soda stream dispenser. We like it. We hate that the CO2 and the bottles are sooooo expensive, and have solved the CO2 problem with another product. Still stuck buying the proprietary bottles at crazy high prices considering standard plastic drink bottles are almost free. I hate to be locked in after the fact to buying what could be a commodity for highway robbery prices. Three stars because they are well made.

Question: What was the brand name of the food processor purchased?

Purchased this from big warehouse store. I had it for several months before actually using it. I have a big food processor and a very small one, but decided I would like one that was mid-sized. Who has not heard of Cuisinart, so I was excited to see this at such a good price with the good reputation of the Cuisinart brand. How disappointing.Out of the box, the plastic base was so lightweight, I felt I had to keep my hand on the base when I put in food so it would not topple over. Even my cheaper tiny chopper felt more substantial than this piece of junk. Let me tell you, I could deal with the lightweight construction, IF it performed well, but it doesn't. Instead of chopping or grinding my food, it pulverized it into mush. There are two options on this machine, Chop and Grind which are controlled by your touch. You can press continuously or pulse the buttons.The box talks about this processor handling chopping, mixing, grinding, pureeing and emulsifying. I think it skipped the first two tasks and went straight to pureeing. The first thing I tried was bell pepper, which I cut into 1 1/2 to 2" pieces. I pressed chopped a few times and in a few seconds I had bell pepper mush. I had to take it out, put it into a towel and squeeze all the liquid out. I had bell pepper soup. I will admit, I did not read the instructions the first go round since I figure a food processor was self explanatory.My next attempt, I read the instructions...maybe I was doing something wrong. The instructions say to "cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size - about 1/2" to a side..." WHAT?! Half an inch!!! If I chopped it to that small of a size, I might as well finish the chop by hand and not even use a processor. Anyway, I decided to follow the instructions and tried again with red bell pepper. Same problem. Pulverized to a liquid...would be a good juicer, but that is not why I bought this product! I decided to try one more time with onions. That's an easy one that I did all the time with both my small and large food processor. I tried both the Chop option and the Grind option with two different onion sessions. Even though the instruction book says Chop is for chopping "soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic.." Even with pulsing, it pulverized the onions and did not chop it to a fine consistency, again I had to squeeze out all the juice. Grind actually worked better when I pulsed it, even though the booklet says it is for "grinding spices and for chopping hard food such as seeds, nuts and chocolate."I have not tried using this for anything hard, most of what I want chopped is considered "soft", but I would definitely not recommend this product, unless you do a lot of pureeing and emulsifying. For chopping and mixing, I give it a 0 (zero) and for pureeing and emulsifying, I'd give it a 3.5. Points taken off because of the cheap base and the need to initially chop items to 1/2". It gets a 1 star because I wanted to use it like a process a medium capacity of food. It did not function in this capacity.

Answer: Cuisinart

Purchased this from big warehouse store. I had it for several months before actually using it. I have a big food processor and a very small one, but decided I would like one that was mid-sized. <hl> Who has not heard of Cuisinart , so I was excited to see this at such a good price with the good reputation of the Cuisinart brand. <hl> How disappointing. Out of the box, the plastic base was so lightweight, I felt I had to keep my hand on the base when I put in food so it would not topple over. Even my cheaper tiny chopper felt more substantial than this piece of junk. Let me tell you, I could deal with the lightweight construction, IF it performed well, but it doesn't. Instead of chopping or grinding my food, it pulverized it into mush. There are two options on this machine, Chop and Grind which are controlled by your touch. You can press continuously or pulse the buttons. The box talks about this processor handling chopping, mixing, grinding, pureeing and emulsifying.

Question: Which one is the favorite soap of the author of the review?

Purchased this to replace the sensor soap dispenser that I'd loved and used for many years until it up and died. This version has some design improvements, including a larger opening to refill the soap chamber, a rubber dispensing "tip" and the elimination of a lower front foot that used to get soap scum/residue and water spots.I was also worried that this new design would not work with my preferred soap -- Bath & Body Works "kitchen lemon" -- but it works just as well as, if not better than, the old model.

Question: How many suction cups did they use?

EDIT: I will leave my original review below for historical purposes, but I should amend it to more accurately reflect the product. I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars.Make sure you read the instructions carefully. You have to press firmly on the center to push out all the air and then they do stick a lot better. They have an extra sticky bit around the rim of each cup which also helps them stick, but it can make it a real pain to pull them off the window and it tends to leave behind a sticky residue. The instructions list some recommendations about cleaning this residue off.=====Original review below=====I purchased these to hang some Christmas lights from the insides of my windows. The lights weigh about 15 to 16 ounces and I used them in 2 windows from 4 to 5 feet in length. I was using 3 suction cups.In short, they lasted less than 5 minutes before they fell down. I tried multiple times to get them to stay up with no success.

Question: What did the reviewer and his wife decide in the end?

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: Does this coffeemaker leak?

This is the best coffemaker we have owned. Coffee tastes better..no pot to clean. I find filling the water reservoir to be no more difficult than other conventional coffee makers. No leaking issues either.Was a little hesitant to purchase due to some of the negative comments posted here but I have no complaints. No matter how good a product is someone will always be unhappy with it. Steve P

Answer: No

Question: What is wrong with one of the stands?

I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level. I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base. As a result, the stand is unstable. Fortunately, the stand sits in a corner and I can place it up against the wall so there is no issue with it tipping over or anything. This is probably not a common problem and I suppose I received a defective item.The bottom line is I am happy with these speaker stands for the price and the quality despite the fact that one does not function properly. Comes with a couple different types of screws to use that can directly connect the speakers to the stand. Also comes with double sided tape to secure the speakers as well. 3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these because they look great and function well for the price.

Question: Other than coffee, what beverage did the user make in 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 is the size?

I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw, 50 X 70 inches. Made in Portugal, it is a 60% cotton/ 40% acrylic blend that is incredibly warm and soft for both its size and thickness.This has a reversible contrast pattern (note: flipped-down corner of the product photo) that looks really amazing. It adds an elegance to my family room, making it an appropriate complement for nearly every season.This is made with the type of overlocking stitching that I usually see around the edges on many higher-quality fleece throws. However, it goes even further by having an embroidered edge ON TOP of the usual stitching.I am now ready to stop bringing my bulky, fuzzy green queen-sized comforter (a major eyesore) into the living room to keep off the chill.Truly, the attention to detail along with quality material/construction gives me confidence that I should be able to enjoy the warm comfort of this beautiful throw for years to come. Love it!

Question: Why did I swear I would never buy another Euro-Pro product years ago?

I swore years ago that I would NEVER buy another Euro-Pro product because they are all JUNK. Glad my curiosity won that argument. Had it about 2 weeks now, and I love it! Have made lots of frozen coffee drinks. Also made wonderful strawberry "ice cream". Froze a pound of strawberries, added about 2/3 of a cup of almond milk (great for lactose intolerant folks), a couple tablespoons of honey and a little vanilla. Absolutely great! Really easy to clean, small enough to stick in a cabinet. I don't expect it to last forever, but it's cheap enough that I'd replace it in a heartbeat.Now it's May 26, and my Ninja is DEAD!!! I only used this maybe 15 times, and noticed that the last 5 or 6 times it was VERY difficult to get the top part (the motor)to sit properly on the shaft on the blade. I went to use it a few days ago and when I finally got it to sit right, the motor turned on, but blade didn't turn. I looked, and it's completely stripped and therefore useless. Even though I said I'd get another one, 6 weeks use is ridiculous. Should have listened to my instinct and not gotten ANYTHING from Euro-Pro.

Question: Do you need to grind up the coffee beans?

If you love your Keurig because it's a great cup of coffee but not particularly partial to any one of the available k-cups then this is a money saving must-have. Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter.My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight. I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. And don't overfill it, for some reason it doesn't make as much coffee when the reusable filter is too full.I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine.Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!

Answer: haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine
