Question: What other brand was the reviewer considering?

Got this with my rewards points when I signed up for a credit card. I was looking at a different Cuisinart one, but free is free. What I like about this is the chopper attachment, its what I have used the most, since I got this at the beginning of summer and haven't had the opportunity to use the immersion feature.I have used the chopper attachment to make salsa, guacamole, blend hot salsa verde, whipped cream, and chop various vegetables. I also used it to make my own Larabars, but after blending the dates and nuts for more than a couple minutes I could smell something overheating, and I could hear it lose power. I will still use it to make Larabars, but I will have to take breaks on it or something.I haven't been able to use the whisk attachment, I must be missing a piece, I have no idea how to attach it. Oh well.

Question: How does the writer compare the cheaper juicer with the more expensive ones?

I purchased this recently and decided to clear the frozen fruit out of my freezer that had been there awhile. I rinsed the strawberries off and threw them in. Out of a 6 lb. bag I managed to get 5 - 8 oz bottles of juice to can up for use in jelly later. Tried it with a bag of blueberries that had been in the freezer and got 2 - 8 oz. bottles of juice out of that. Have to admit though I had to cut the processing time short on it, I had to be somewhere. Probably could have gotten more out of it. This thing works wonderfully. Great replacement for my old aluminum one. AND it comes with an extra hose! As with all juicers have a place to allow the hose to dangle down after use so it can dry out. I really wish they would come up with a tool to do that. I took the clamp and moved it up to the metal part the hose comes off of to allow the hose to be open to dry out. Great price on this and it will do the same job as the more expensive ones.

Question: Which filter helps eliminate cigarette smoke easier

Yeah sure, Hepa filter microns microbes blah blah, but it's the *carbon* filter (aka the Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter) that keeps the house from smelling like a Bullitt County bingo hall. Change the carbon filter every month or so and you can lie to your children about having given up the Pall Malls. I bought the Honeywell 17000 first; it uses the same pre-filter, it's quieter and it probably helps a little. The 50250, however, is exponentially more effective at eliminating cigarette smoke simply because it filters a massive amount of air. To do that, it has to make a little noise. Fine with me; I haven't heard the neighbor's country music in months and the dog is no longer alerted to save us from the mailman's daily threat to commit a home invasion.

Question: Why is the vacuum cleaner good?

This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

Question: What does the author not have?

After these arrived, my husband saw them on the kitchen counter and asked why I had them.You see, we don't have any kids in the house anymore (not unless they come home from college!).I told him to wait and see....Next thing you know we are on the screened porch enjoying....(wait for it)....margarita ice pops!!We loved them! It was all I could do to not have another!As far as the Ice Pop Makers themselves, they worked beautifully, no leaking, easy to clean,and just the right size....unless you're having margarita pops...then you might want two.Just sayin.

Question: What do you need to own for this product to work?

First rule of thumb, if you don't have a Faberware skillit, it might not fit. Me, on the other hand, have a Faberware skillit. This lid fits perfectly! No complaints at all.I got the glass lid so I can see what is going on in my pan.So to all you nay-sayers out there, try buying a lid from the maker of your cooking vessel! Would you buy car parts for a Ford from a Toyota dealer??? Of course not! They might sorta fit, but it is never the same.Don't hold a manufacturer responsible for their product NOT fitting something they had not manufactured!

Question: When they have to wave their hands around they tend to fell like they are a what?

The important thing to know about this trash can is that each container is NOT 16 gallons. They're each 8 gallons, for a total of 16. Between my husband and I, 8 gallons fills up fast, so I have to change out the bags at least twice a week. What's even more frustrating is that the bags (currently using 13 gallon) are only partially full, so I feel like I'm wasting bags along with having to do more work.Otherwise, I like the design and look of the trashcan. Having the dual containers is very convenient. Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style. Keeps your hands clean, without having to stand there waving your hands around like some kind of air traffic controller.Overall, it's a good trashcan, I just wish both containers were 16 gallons (or even 13), and not a paltry 8 gallons.

Question: are you like the product?

I'm very new to my Kitchenaid Mixer and it has been intimidating to use at first. I got this roller to try out making my own ravioli's. I hate rolling out dough.I attached this to my Kitchenaid Classic 4.5Q and it fit and worked perfect. After watching a video on youtube to understand more on what to do I tried it out. It is easy and kind of fun.I would recommend this to anyone that has a kitchenaid mixer. I also recommend if you have never used one to check out some videos on youtube to understand it more.Now I only need to get the ravioli maker. :)

Question: What type of pans have they been using in the past?

I have several cast-iron products including a wok, grill pan and a couple of Dutch ovens. I've been using them for years without a single complaint. I have a full set of All Clad stainless frying pans that are somewhat non-stick if you know how to use them. I've heard so much about Grandma's priceless iron frying pan that I had to give it a try. Compared to stainless, iron heats up slowly but keeps the heat much longer. The pre-seasoning isn't much because real seasoning takes years. This is beacuse the iron is rough and only through use become smooth. My complaints relate to the handle: First it is too short so you can't get a proper grip and second it gets hot enough to burn you (unlike stainless). I guess I'll get used to these problems and learn to appreciate the ultimate cooking surface that iron provides.

Question: How many pounds of apples slices was put in the unit?

Wow. this is a really big unit! I was able to fill it up with 1 large pineapple, 4 pounds apple slices, and 12 large bananas. This filled up all 9 trays. Works great. I also took a lean beef roast, about 3.5 lbs, thin sliced it and marinated it in a pre prepared mix. It took up about 3 trays. Turned out great also. Very happy with the purchase. I did not think it was all that loud when operating. Fast service from Amazon Prime. I think the smaller unit would have worked for a 2 person household. Unless you are prepping for the next Apocalypse of course.

Question: Are there large amounts of lint when using these towels?

Great product for the price. Nothing fancy; however, for me, they are the right size and serve their purpose of being used for everyday toweling. I was concerned about other reviews discussing excessive lint. While there was a lot of lint on the first wash/dry, I did not have excessive lint balls attach to me when I used them. They were soft and absorbent. I also read that the edges would ravel. I looked closely at each towel when folding. No strings or ravels were found. For a large person, you might want to consider the next towel size up. For the average person, they are adequate and do not take up large amounts of closet space like the over-sized bath towels.For general, everyday use, they are what I needed.

Question: What rating did the reviewer want to give other that 5 stars?

Overall, this is a great trash can. It's attractive, or at least not ugly. It's big, using a 30 or 33 gallon bag, meaning more room for large stuff and less overflow between bag changes. The lid has a latch that can be slid into place that prevents opening, in case you have curious/smart toddlers/dogs (we do).The one negative is that the interior walls are not smooth, and in some places have horizontal beams that provide strength, but also catch the stuff in the bag when you are pulling it out, and can easily rip the bag if things are wedged in tight.If this thing had smooth inner walls, I'd give it 5 (or even 6) stars, but having a snag-y interior seems like a big oversight for a trash can. We still like it very much, but wanted to point out this one issue for other potential buyers.

Question: What was received as a wedding gift?

We received an EC701 model for our wedding, which died after almost 5 years of daily use. We replaced it with this newer model at half the price. Overall, we love this little machine. I make primarily lattes, so I can't speak for the espresso afficionados, but one of the reasons I love this thing is that it will actually foam milk well, which is hard to find in a machine at this price point. It also looks really good on our counter, which is not unimportant. The water reservoir is very easy to access, which is really convenient given how often we use it. Unfortunately we just had our second machine die after only 18 months of daily use. We will be replacing this one with another of the same, simply because we haven't found anything we like better without spending $500+. We will buy the next one at Bed Bath and Beyond, though, because if it dies after 18 months again, we can just bring it back to the store due to their incredible no-questions-asked return policy. That's worth the little extra it costs through them vs amazon.

Question: How did this person describe his own body size?

Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? Not me. This touch makes these towels something special.The towels are larger than a standard bath towel, somewhere between the standard size and a bath sheet. I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. The towels arrived with a lot of sizing on them and really need to be washed a couple of times before they are super soft and absorbent. One side is nubby less and absorbent. The other side is super absorbent, smoother, and feels a bit like a microfiber towel (it isn't really that fine, just close to that feeling).These are just so darn nice.

Answer: I'm a big guy

Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? Not me. This touch makes these towels something special. The towels are larger than a standard bath towel, somewhere between the standard size and a bath sheet. <hl> I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. <hl> The towels arrived with a lot of sizing on them and really need to be washed a couple of times before they are super soft and absorbent.

Question: What makes it Greek?

Alice May Brock is quoted as saying:Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian;Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian;Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good.And Zyliss garlic press makes it oh so easy (and unmessy) to get the garlic where you need it! Don't even have to peel the garlic!(Caution: the cleaning tool (to get any remaining garlic out of the holes) is unidirectional. It does need to be lined up or you will break some of the plastic tines. But you rarely need to use it anyway, it's so simple to clean.)Even America's Test Kitchen loves this garlic press!

Question: how much taller was the new wine cellar according to amazon?

I ordered this wine cellar to replace one that had stopped working. My old one was also a 6 bottle cellar but when I compared the dimensions listed here on Amazon,this one was bigger. It was 3 inches taller. I almost didnt order it for this reason. I searched for a few days and decided to go ahead and purchase this one. After ordering, I spent half the day moving things around to find a new place for this larger unit. I received my order yesterday . I was shocked when I took it out of the box and set it beside the old one . They were IDENTICAL in size! It appears to me that the dimensions listed on this include the SHIPPING BOX!!This wine cellar is quiet and cooling perfectly. I am very happy with my purchase. The dimensions of this wine cellar are 20 inches deep X 14.5 inches tall X 10 inches wide .

Question: What is the reviewer's biggest complaint?

We purchased this on Jan 29, 2014. Now less than 5 months later the teflon coating is coming off in our baked waffles. We use it every day and care for it per Cuisinart's instructions. I'm nursing a 3 month old baby, and I can't be eating teflon unknowlingly. No one should be! I'm going to try and post pictures. In addition to the obvious product flaw, this waffle maker gets extremely hot steam (burn worthy) that pours forth from where the handle attaches between the iron plates. The iron plates get hotter in the middle and so the waffles don't cook evenly. They get darker in the middle and the edges are still soft. But my major complaint is the peeling teflon.

Question: How many did they purchase?

The plastic binders are hard brittle pieces and the whole thing just falls apart within weeks under normal circumstances. I bought two and they both were destroyed in less than a month. Now I use the rods for scooping up items that have fallen behind the washer, knocking stuff out from under the sofa, batting cobwebs from the porch ceiling, poking the dog so he gets off the chair, changing the channels when I can't find the remote, "sword" fighting with my grandsons, staking vegetables and more.

Question: What kind of product is this?

I have regularly used a French press to prepare coffee for many years, and this pot is the best of the lot. It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. Those who have not previously used a French press well may find that the fresh taste of the coffee leaves them wondering how they ever used a 'drip' or percolator pot. it operates easily, with none of the awkwardness I have found with other inexpensive presses.

Question: What did the reviewer pre-make?

I received it yesterday and used today. After reading all the pro and con reviews, this is how I made my sandwiches. I pre-made Grand Flaky biscuits. I heated up the unit, lightly sprayed buttery Pam. As unit was warming up, I gathered my ingredients... eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen pre-cooked sausage patties and biscuits. I warmed 2 frozen sausage patties in the microwave for 1 minute while machine was still heating up.I added biscuit bottom and sausage, then added my egg and cooked for 4 minutes. In the last minute, I added my cheese on top of sausage, lastly I added the top of my biscuit on the egg.My sandwich was perfect and delicious. My Biscuits were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My egg did not leak from the machine and it was easy to take apart and wash in hot sudsy water, dried and re-assembled.

Question: Why won't there be any marks on your tile when you use this product?

There's a lot of function packed into this product. Besides being able to support the weight of as many soap and shampoo bottles that you can fit on top of it, but it has a small bar and two hooks for your rag, loofah or whatever other accessories you use in the shower. If you shave in the shower you can also hang your disposable razor in the hooks. The bottom of the shelf has small openings in it so water can drain.Installation is a snap - quite literally. Once you make sure the pads on the side are attached (if they're not, it's a simple matter to reattach them). You place the shelf in the corner where you want it, and give the button a nice firm press, and boom - you're done. If you don't like where it is, you just pull the button out and start over. Since it works by pressure and not by adhesive, there won't be any marks on your tile. I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems.This might be a little pricey at first glance, but it is very well-made of quality material and does its job perfectly with no flaws, making it worth the $30 price point in my book.

Question: How long did the reviewer kept their old pillow?

Find my original review below. This has taught me a lesson, wait weeks or months before posting a reviewfor home life products. This pillow broke down and turned into a misshapen lump within 2 weeks. It got worse and worse and finally after 4-5 weeks I threw it away. When I removed the THREE fitted covers I had on to keep it protected, and the pillowcase, I found that it had turned yellow and crumbly. My previous one was 3 years old and didn't look this way.AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID~~!!!!This was a great choice!From day one my sleep improved. Neck, back and shoulders are in a great position for sleep.I have a shoulder injury that bothers me at night..with this I do not need an addition small pillow torest my shoulder on.Great design, very comfortable.

Question: In which way does this opener allow you to open your bottles?

OK, who really needs a $12 bottle opener? Well, no one. But, if you are like me and enjoy a great craft beer almost every day, this opener makes your evening ritual just a little nicer. The opener itself is as close to perfect as any opener can be, and for that it deserves a look. It will last forever and when you die, your kids may fight over it. So why not treat yourself to one of life's little pleasures (opening your bottle in style) just before you enjoy one of life's most exquisite pleasures, a great glass of beer!

Question: What style of garbage can do they generally like best?

The important thing to know about this trash can is that each container is NOT 16 gallons. They're each 8 gallons, for a total of 16. Between my husband and I, 8 gallons fills up fast, so I have to change out the bags at least twice a week. What's even more frustrating is that the bags (currently using 13 gallon) are only partially full, so I feel like I'm wasting bags along with having to do more work.Otherwise, I like the design and look of the trashcan. Having the dual containers is very convenient. Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style. Keeps your hands clean, without having to stand there waving your hands around like some kind of air traffic controller.Overall, it's a good trashcan, I just wish both containers were 16 gallons (or even 13), and not a paltry 8 gallons.

Question: What was George Foreman known as?

I have no clue if this product existed before George Foreman put his name on it. I'd assume so, but I'm not sure. Whatever the case, the Foreman grill has become a staple in most kitchens around the world. It cooks any meat within 5 minutes, perfectly every time. How can you go wrong? If you oven bake a chicken breast, for example, it takes 30-45 minutes.George Foreman added to his legacy by putting his name on this fantastic product. Old times will always know him as a great fighter, but generations to come will know him as the guy who's name is on this incredible kitchen device. Way to go George!

Question: What product has solved their problem?

My family loves to take our dinner in the living room and watch a good movie together, but we have had problems and the Table Mate has helped to sovle them. I don't know about you but I have had my battles with my legs having no room while using TV tables and bending half-way over to reach my plate on my coffee table while sitting in a very uncomfortable position.We needed a solution and this product gave us that; I think the concept of Table Mate is great. Yes, perhaps the construction doesn't match the price which I do feel is a little steep, but the table gives you room, comfort and ease which is a real plus. I feel the product does what it says it will and does it well and certainly has made our TV room dinner/movie time a much more pleasant experience.

Question: How many eggs does user use in recipe?

Like another reviewer has already said, what do you expect when the description said miniature skillet? The price should have been a dead giveaway and it almost is. A really great price for great quality. I scramble 1 to 2 eggs depending on the size egg I happen to have on hand and cover the skillet with a saucer or salad plate to styeam the egg till solid. With a little ham, a sausage patty, or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. I just don't understand any complaints about this great deal. I'm sure I will find many additional uses.

Question: does the author state it is easier or harder to use then the winged type

This corkscrew replaces a costly winged corkscrew that had it's worm break inside the cork.I thought this corkscrew would be harder to use then the winged type, but am pleasantly surprised that it is easier to use. The foil cutter is effective and easy to use. The teflon coated worm screws into the cork with almost no effort. Unlike the winged type, you turn the bottle, not the corkscrew, to insert the worm into the cork. The two step hinged prying tool makes it easy to start the cork out, and then with a slight shift get the cork all the way out. More pleasant features are that a bottle cap opener is included, this tool feels great in the hand, it's about the cheapest good quality corkscrew around, and it's good looking. The pictures don't do it justice.Salud!

The foil cutter is effective and easy to use. The teflon coated worm screws into the cork with almost no effort. Unlike the winged type, you turn the bottle, not the corkscrew, to insert the worm into the cork. The two step hinged prying tool makes it easy to start the cork out, and then with a slight shift get the cork all the way out. More pleasant features are that a bottle cap opener is included, this tool feels great in the hand, it's about the cheapest good quality corkscrew around, and it's good looking. The pictures don't do it justice.Salud!


Question: How does it feel?

have you really seen any terrible reviews other than them just being a bad review of a product. it's silicone it will have a little slimy feel unless you soak it in a detergent, but you dont have to. it doesn't retain flavor. use it in many places instead of foil, its a great product.

Question: Where is the hardest place to use attachments?

It does what a vacumn should do - it really sucks!! I love that the head is small enough to reach between and under things! I also love the way the attachments clip on, rather than just slip on. They stay on even you get caught on something under the furniture (ever have that little nozzle pull of when it is way under something!? What a pain trying to reach that!) Love the telescoping arm too. It is not too heavy, so it is easy to use on stairs and you hardly even know it is following you when it rolls behind you. I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years, but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture, you would understand. I still love my upright and will continue to use it for main areas, but the cannister is much more versatile. If I had to give up one - it would be the upright, so if you don't have either and cannot decide - the cannister will fill all your needs, whereas the upright is only really good for main areas and open spaces.

Question: What improves the grip on this tool?

As I've gotten into home mixology, I've realized that I need proper tools. This OXO double jigger fits the bill perfectly!Each side has three very clearly marked increments for very precise measurements. While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. This is also dishwasher safe. I typically keep it tucked away, but while out, this is a very nice looking piece of equipment, perfectly matching many other items like myOXO Good Grips Steel Cocktail Shaker(also highly recommended).Perfect execution on a necessary bar tool at a wonderful price. A real must-buy!

Question: Who is getting the old irons?

I have purchased three different brands of steam iron over the last two years. Namely Black and Decker, Panasonic, and whatever brand makes the Shark. The most irritating thing about steam irons is that they shed water through the steam holes, leaving large spots of water which then have to be dried out by the iron. This is the first unit that I have had that does not do that. So I give it accolades for that. I will now give away my other irons to my daughters. The only weakness in this iron is the temperature setting control, which has no indicators on it as to heat level so you kind of have to experiment with it and not turn it too hot. Other irons indicate silk, polyester, cotton etc. But this one does not. But I will still take it over other major brands. So if you want a steam iron that does not drip or leak through the holes when you are ironing this is the one to have.

Question: Who put this together?

For those who don't mind a very scarce assembly manual that, in the case of the King Size model has the wrong pictures and the wrong list of parts and very vague instructions this should be a 5-star product because everything is right about the product itself. All the needed parts are there - even ended up with one extra bold and one extra wood screw, everything fits together and the end-product is a solid, rigid mattress foundation. Now... if you expect to each part labeled and step-by-step instructions... look elsewhere.It took me and my 16 yr. old kid exactly one hour to put this together, from the moment we opened the box until we were done tidying up everything. The only tool you need is a POWER screwdriver with a Phillips bit unless you don't mind doing 40 wood screws by hand. Like I said, everything fits perfectly together but nothing is labelled and we did end up with the two middle braces upside down (odds for both ending up that way 1 in 4) but that was only a 5-minute setback. Everything else went well and we are happy with the end-result.I am going to rate this a 4-stars only because it would have been so easy to make this a perfectly easy to assemble product but, like I said, once you're done with the assembly you have a good quality mattress foundation.

Question: Where does the reviewer live?

I've always wanted a home distillation unit. What I've usually found are pieced together units that belong in a garage. This unit is very well constructed, streamline designed distiller that will seamlessly fit in any over-gadgeted kitchen (like mine).Living in AZ, the water here is full of dissolved minerals. My first use of this unit was to START OFF with carbon filtered water. As described how this unit functions, about 5 hours later the unit completed its gallon cycle and turned itself off. After leaving sit for at least 1/2 hour (per safety instructions), allowing it to cool, what I discovered in the stainless steal pot was a film/sludge of concentrated mineral deposits that required a run through with the included anhydrous citric acid crystals to fully clean the gunk off of the stainless steal. Having already purchased 4 two liter glass pitchers, I emptied the distilled water into the pitchers and let it cool. AMAZING TASTING WATER!.This is easy to use, looks great, is well constructed and fits perfectly along side Vitamix's, Kitchen Aids, Cuisine Arts and other top notch appliances. I'm hooked! They recommend letting it run overnight. I do too. The fan makes a little noise, but is bare able.

Question: What is the width of the lids?

These lids are THICK compared to others & the price was more reasonable. They work & I feel I got my money's worth. I just wish there were more sizes avail.Update 1/4/14 - When I went to remove a regular lid for one of my pans from my shelf, one of these blue lids was stuck to it. I pulled the two lids out, and the blue "silicone" lid had to be peeled off, thus leaving some of the "silicone" stuck onto my pan lid. Hmmm, it makes me wonder if these Rachel Ray lids are very good after all. I checked thru the description & can't find the word "silicone" so maybe they're not. I'm calling the mfr for warranty & will update review.

Question: How many chairs did she vacuum?

First off, I have a Silver Persian Cat. I used the Dyson mini turbine tool on my furniture and thought it did pretty good, except I had to keep stopping to remove wound up fur. I ordered this tool to alleviate that problem, and couldn't believe how much fur it got out of the furniture even after using the mini turbine! Just 2 chairs and a stool and I got a softball size ball of fur in the bin! It is a bit pricy, but it works beautifully and doesn't tangle! Well worth it to have a fur-free house. I must admit, the thought crossed my mind to use it on the cat directly but that would be mean. ;)

Question: How long has the author owned the product?

I have had the Zojirushi coffee maker for over 6 months now. If I had it to do over again, I'd purchase a different brand of coffee maker. Here's why: The lid on the carafe is too difficult to open and once open the coffee pours out too slowly. The coffee holder must be placed a certain way or you'll wake up to counters and floors full of spilled coffee. If even a little bit of coffee overflows the filter it is certain to clog the carafe and once again, counters and floors are running over with coffee. My opinion is that the Zojirushi is overpriced, under-engineered, and not a great choice.

Question: Where was the product purchased?

I've been vacillating for a while about one of these machines because, let's face it - they're EXPENSIVE. When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent.WELL! It's definitely money well-spent!I have several different flooring types - area rugs, vinyl flooring, hardwood, and a particularly miserable burgundy plush. This vacuum handled them all with ease, made that plush look like brand new! I was amazed, well almost EMBARRASSED, when I saw how much dirt and cat hair this thing pulled out of my rugs.It maneuvers fairly easily, emptying it is child's play - I agree the wand is somewhat awkward until you get the hang of it, and the handle is a bit uncomfortable to MY hand to use for any length of time, but overall I still rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. I am planning to purchase the low-reach tool and the soft dusting too!

Question: What is missing?

I am very happy with both the size and quality of the Proctor Silex roaster. It does not come with a rack though so I looked on Amazon to find one that would fit and found the Harold Imports Roasting Rack that fits perfectly. Amazon reviews used to allow a link to other products on their site but evidently doesn't any more so if you want to copy & paste the link, here it is:http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HM83X2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1I used the roaster for the first time yesterday and it fit a large chicken with potatoes and carrots nicely. One warning though, don't use roasting bags with it. I used a Reynolds Oven Cooking Bag which I have used before in my oven but found that in a small roaster where the bag touches the sides it burned through the bag in several places and left burned plastic residue on the sides of the roaster that was very difficult to scrub off. This was NOT a problem with the roaster but with the thin plastic roasting bag I unwisely decided to use.

Question: What is the first benefit the reviewer mentions?

This grill is considerably lighter in weight than my old grills as well as less expensive. Wonder if it's a European model, as the instructions come in several languages.

Question: What is easy to overlook according to the reviewer?

Some kitchen tools are easy to overlook. Don't for a second, though, forget how important it is to have a good spoon: comfortable, easy to use for stirring, useful in a cooking pot or saute pan, durable, easy to clean.This spoon is all of that and more. Price is good, too. Cooking grade silicone with a sturdy metal handle, just the right size slots, and easy to hold and control. And it washes like a charm.I've had his spoon and its un-slotted cousin for more than a year and it has help up very, very well, and has never failed me. Looks like new even after many trips to the dishwasher (in the dreaded lower rack!), big pans of bread dough, browning eggplant slices in hot oil, stirring garlicky sauces, and so on. It has never picked up smells or colors.Great, great kitchen tool. No cons, lots of pros.
