Question: what type of devices does the reviewer use this product for year round?

Not only does this blend in with my garden so you hardly know it is there, it keeps your outlets off the ground and protected with the cover. I have used outdoors in California year round, only moving it during the Christmas season when I change my lighting. I use it year-round for a fountain and for lights.

Question: what does the author need

I needed a good window fan to keep the air moving in my country cottage. I am able to limit the use of A/C if I have a means for proper ventilation. This fan satisfies that need.It was fairly easy to install but still required a bit of ingenuity as the side panels were a bit of a challenge. They will slide but be patient because they will also break if forced. The fan is very quiet, emitting a hum rather than a roar when running at full speed.I will leave the fan in the window for the entire season so I will not have to struggle with the side panels again until it is time to remove it.

Question: What are key features of the sheets?

To begin, I'm a bit of a sheet snob. Before I found these, if it wasn't 1000+ thread count, I wouldn't bother. But I saw the high reviews and breathability claims and thought I'd give it a shot...and have since ordered another set in a different color and don't think I'll go back to plain cotton. Normally I shy away from prices this low on items that seem foreign to me, but this fabric is light, super soft, cleans well, and warm. Colors are true to form, the sheets fit my deep mattress (17-18"), and I'll definitely order again if/when I need new sheets.

Question: How many pieces is it?

We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this. It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). When you cut pizza on it using a pizza cutter it doesn't hurt the finish at all. We love this thing.We got an All-Clad about the same time (generous present) and like it as well. The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut.If we ever get another stone it will be this one. Great product!

Question: What will they never use this product for?

I bought these knowing that some buyers mentioned they tasted plastic. I also taste plastic but I still like these because they are easy to drink out of without having to slide or flip a lid opening while driving. They also fit in my cup holder. Unfortunately I also like chai latte. I will never use this for a drink that has milk because I don't see a way to effectively clean the lid. I have another wide based stainless steel mug that I can't use in the car. It has a slider that opens and closes the drink slit. I have to periodically take apart the slider to clean the lid. The milky drink manages to stick to all surfaces and rot. UGH! I would still recommend this travel mug because it keeps drinks hot, it fits in the holder, it is easy to drink out of and doesn't spill. Only for tea or black coffee though and put up with plastic taste.

Question: Where is a bad place to use this fan?

This is a well made fan designed primarily for wall mount use. It does table top duty ok but will not tip down if sat higher than table top. It's a very well made fan that is spoiled by excessive fan noise which is a real shame.All in all this is a nice fan for utility areas of your home where noise isn't a problem.. It isn't for the TV room unless you like loud TV!! Funny thing is that with a remote the TV room is the best place to put it.

Question: How large is the reviewer's counter space?

I didn't buy this trash can because of the hands-free feature but it is really nice to have a kitchen trash can that is closed tightly and opens with a wave of your hand. I have limited counter space in my apartment so it is a plus to be able to easily trash peelings, packaging etc while I am cooking. You can open the lid, turn off the unit and the lid will stay open until you switch it back on. This can also has a bag holder that fits inside the can and keeps the bag inside. I was searching for a foot lever opener but couldn't find one that was the size and shape I wanted in stainless steel, this one fits the bill. If you have small children who might find it fun to open and close it continously it has an on-off switch on the back.Update Oct. 31, 2011OK, it's been 2 years and I've changed the batteries once. About a year ago the small rod that holds the lid on the top fell out. I put it back together but now the lid will not stay open by itself, makes me think there was another piece that fell into the trash can that I didn't know about. Hmmm.....wonder if that was the little spring that I found on the floor....Oh well...it still opens when I wave my hand over it and I can deal with the rest of it.

Question: What was made?

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: Instead of getting a frother, the customer recommends this product instead?

I am a big fan of cappuccino, and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop. I have a small espresso machine at home, but until now I was not able to use it to make any of the more involved coffee concoctions. This little Eparé milk frother has enabled me to froth-up my own milk.The frother is very elegant, easy to use and operate, and it sits very comfortably in your hand. I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk. The regular milk was mostly a success, albeit the froth was not as "stable" and rich as i would have liked. The rice milk was an almost complete failure. Despite my best efforts I was only able to produce a very small amount of froth. Others might have a better success with this device than I do, but right now I would not recommend it to the lactose-intolerant types.The frother was extremely easy to clean. You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

Question: For what reason did this person choose the Piccolo model?

I bought the Dolce Gusto Piccolo after using my sister's when staying at her house. I already had a Keurig so it is difficult not to compare the two. I do infact like them both.Here are my key points:1) Purchased the Piccolo model due to price. I wanted to stay as far under $100 as possible to get a Dolce Gusto.2) Now that I've used it, I probably would rather have the Genio model because it is a less-manual process.3) You have to fill the water container each time you use it. It doesn't store water the way my Keurig does.4) Really like the frothy, coffee-house textured drinks. My Keurig does not do this.5) The Dolce Gusto website offers a reward program too. Each box of capsules contains a code in the box. Enter the codes online and store your points until you have enough for free product. That's great!

Question: What is being reviewed?

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 size is the vacuum??

I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. It has filled the bill precisely. It's small, compact, easy to pull around and has plenty of suction. We also like the retractable cord feature. Now we don't have to drag that big, bulky shop vac around and knock paint chips off the door frames when getting it out the garage. The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable. I didn't need to take out a loan to pay for it either and I wasn't paying for features I'd never use such as paint spraying, trying to suck up bowling balls through a 1 1/2" hose or mixing smoothies on the veranda. This is a great little vacuum for the price.

Question: How do the attachments connect to the vacuum?

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: Why do they only recommend this item?

Faster than a microwave, this kettle brings water to a boil so quickly, you'll be amazed. The outside is sturdy plastic and the inside appears to be high grade stainless steel. Our water supply is filtered well water and so far there has been no residue or scale build-up at all inside the kettle. I wouldn't recommend putting anything but water into the kettle to avoid accumulating undesirable residues.

Our water supply is filtered well water and so far there has been no residue or scale build-up at all inside the kettle. <hl> I wouldn't recommend putting anything but water into the kettle to avoid accumulating undesirable residues . <hl>

Question: how difficult does the writer describe the clean up process?

I'm new to baking and need all the help I can get. Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot.Best money I have spent yet on baking accessories!Just flour both sides, pat a little flour on dough and put it in, zip it up and roll it out. Crust didn't stick and came out perfectly round. Since I'm still new to all this I guess I put a wee bit too much dough in and my crust was a little thick but just about perfect.I followed the recipe that came with my new Cuisinart for Pie Crust and it is perfect and delicious. Even if your making a large pie you can still roll out in the Pie Crust Maker and then take it out and roll out a little more to desired thickness and size as it will still keep an almost perfect circle shape.Cleanup was actually very easy even with the dough kinda stuck into the sides of the bag. Just use hot water and soap and the dough will literally melt away. The bag also contains messes since you don't really have to flour a board or surface and get flour everywhere like I do.

Question: What other vacuum does the reviewer recommend?

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

Question: What doesn't cut it for the author?

We live in the so called "boonies" and have well water. I have installed water filters for drinking under our sink in our fridge etc....they just dont cut it. The water tastes strange....so I wanted to try something to let us get great tasting water and help the environment by not buying water bottles.....Brita is the answer.This jug has a sensor on top that will remind you to change the filter. That is one of the best features....another thing I dont have to worry about or remember until its time. The water tastes perfect to me in our home now and I have no hesitation in recommending this item.

Question: What is the main complaint about the cooker's ability to poach eggs?

If you like your poached eggs very undercooked, this might be okay for you. However I like my poached eggs on the medium to medium-well side (with the white totally cooked, and the yolk just starting to firm up at the edges). This cooker cannot do that. You put the eggs in the poaching tray, and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray). Impossible to get them evenly cooked. However, this turns out GREAT boiled eggs, much faster than I can make them in a pot. I was really looking forward to an easier method of poaching eggs, but looks like I'm back to my pot of water. :\

Question: Who were the glasses purchased for?

I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. I bought the shot glasses and iced teas' as well (they may not call them ice teas' but they are long and tall). Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different but that's why we all like 'em. They feel good in your hand I a imagine they won't get dropped as often as others because of the indentations. Nice weight but I would have given them five stars if they were just a bit heavier and a mil thicker but I have no complaints because these are reasonably priced for what you get. Shot glasses are perfect. I would give 4.5 stars but you can't. I have been looking for other gifts for the kids because I want to keep the glasses. I know it's terrible but if anyone has any ideas...

Question: What type of product is the person reviewing?

The benefits are easy to see and enjoyable to determine. Pop the cork on your favorite Merlot. Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better. After both glasses had been sitting for about 30 minutes, the "unareated" wine tasted about like the aerated wine when it was just poured. The aerated wine tasted even better.Unlink other aerators I've tried fit in the bottle's neck. This one remains separate. You hold it in one hand and pour the wine through it with the other. While the method requires an extra hand, it also gives the wine more opportunity to breathe as it falls from the bottle into the aerator.The aerator was sent so I could provide this fair and honest review.

Question: Where did the water stay?

Wanted so much to use this for basic uses brown rice and beans. Tried first using for dinner guests, couldn't use the recipes that were in the printed manual, found one online that was described in video. The water that collected during cooking did not drip into the reservoir, but stayed in the rim of the pan. I had to watch the clock for cooking time since the digital readout did not work. Had to email Fagor for advice on how long to cook beans. The rep asked what kind of beans, and when I responded that I cook three types of beans, it took a week for her to give an answer. I returned the item since it is unreliable and the customer service was not the best.

Question: How is the product stored?

I am hoping this thing has a learning curve, because so far I am not so great at using the slicer. I have never used one before nor had a food processor, so I have nothing to use as a comparison other than my own knife skills. I have tried a few things with great success (amazing job of doing julienne strips on a zucchini), and other that were complete flops (just squished a very ripe tomato I tried to slice). My biggest issue is learning how to use the whole piece of fruit or vegetable I am trying to slice. I seem to get about 3/4 of the way through, when the last chunk of whatever (onion, potato, carrot, radish) will no longer stay on the prongs and makes it impossible to slice. On the other hand, I never could have such uniform or thin cuts for the parts that do work. The parts are easy to take apart and assemble and I find it rinses out great just dipping in warm sudsy water, so fingers never need to go near the blade. I also like that it conveniently stores in a small stand up sleeve that takes up less space than my knife block. One big negative for me so far is the bowl rests are down low, far away from the blade area, so you cannot use a small bowl - the food just ends up on my counter instead of in the bowl. Thus, I end up having to use the one and only medium sized bowl over and over and having to do the cleaning between rounds of slicing if my ingredients aren't supposed to be mixed together.

Question: what kind of indentation does it have?

One of my very favorite kitchen utensils is a good silicone spatula. This is one of those tools I can never have enough of. I recently received a complementary set of the 3-Piece Spatula Set -Made out of ONE PIECE silicone for review and absolutely love it.My mother loves what she calls a ‘spoon-ula’. I haven’t had one of these before, but there was one included in this set. It is almost exactly like the silicone spatula I am used to, except it has a shallow indention that is very handy with some dishes. Both the spoon-spatula and the plain spatula are 10”x2”. There is also a smaller spatula that is only 8”x1”.The larger spatulas are perfect for most kitchen tasks. The silicone holds up when stirring hot dishes on the stove and the straight-edge ends do an excellent job of scraping the bottom of a pot. The same spatulas work equally well stirring cold dishes in a mixing bowl. The smaller spatula is wonderful for scraping ingredients out of small containers like canned foods or sour cream.The beauty of these spatulas being one piece is that there are no crevices for food to get trapped in, promoting food poisoning or cross-contamination. Also, one solid piece means less chance of it breaking.These tools can be easily washed by hand, but are fine in the dishwasher as well.I would recommend this spatula set to anyone who cooks.

Question: How do these pans need to be cleaned?

I haven't used these trays very much yet but they have worked well so far. I used them to cook frozen pizzas and they have come out nicely. However, be very careful when you wash these trays! If you've never owned a product like this before you might not realize that you absolutely CANNOT soak them in water. If you do, water seeps in between the layers of the tray and it is very difficult to recover from this. You can attempt to dry them out in the oven, but that typically only works with a small amount of damage. Unfortunately, I lost one of my trays to this mistake! My advice is just to be careful when you wash them. They also don't do well in the dishwasher so you really do need to wash them by hand. They're good quality, but you have to treat them carefully if you want them to last.

Question: What item is this?

We had a West Bend breadmaker like this one for many years. Finally the seals on the paddle shafts in the pan wore out and they got bread in them and siezed up.We looked all over for another breadmaker that made a normal shaped loaf of bread. Not a squatty cylinder one like most of them.The bread pan has two paddles, not one like most, and is shaped more like a normal long loaf of bread.We looked at purchasing a new pan for our old machine, but found this great price on a new West Bend and bought it.The settings are easy, we use our recipe we developed over the years and we get consistently great loafs.Great bread, great shape, great buy.

Question: What kind of mix have they used in the blend?

I've used the best and some of the rest..... I have use the vita mix in the blend tec I've used the Breville Hemisphere and a few others, I honestly wasn't impressed with the blend tec , the Breville wihemisphere was one of the better ones and of course the vita mix. By choice among all raw diet and the complete vegetarian, I was at a thrift store and ended up seeing this blender the elite version for under $10 how could I resist at that price, long story short I use it three times a day as never had a problem it's works as well as my vita mix did without the cost, I would highly recommend one of these blenders.

By choice among all raw diet and the complete vegetarian, I was at a thrift store and ended up seeing this blender the elite version for under $10 how could I resist at that price, long story short I use it three times a day as never had a problem it's works as well as my vita mix did without the cost, I would highly recommend one of these blenders.


Question: Where does the product fit?

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: How well does the heater work for the consumer that wrote the review?

I am not sure what happened to those who had trouble with this little heater. This heater works just great for us, no "hot wall plug", no "short cycling of the fan/heat" and it keeps my Mom happy during these unusually cold days we have had in the south this winter. I keep the house at a steamy 72 degrees and Mom likes it to be very much warmer.

Question: What causes the bowl to stink?

I bought this based on all of the positive reviews that were previously posted. Unfortunately, the bowl fell far below expectations.Anytime that oil is used, the popcorn burns. I've tinkered with the amount of oil 1/2 tbsps all the way to 2 tbsps. I've also tinkered with the type of oil (olive, veggie, coconut). When none of these changes helped the problem, I started changing the time. The popcorn burns at 3 minutes, at 2:45, at 2:30, and even at 2:15 (when the majority of the kernels are still unpopped). I've also tried a couple of different types of corn - but no luck there either.The other problem is smell. Not sure if the plastic is 'off-gassing', but there is a seriously pungent odor that comes from the bowl after being microwaved. If we leave the popcorn in the bowl too long (5 minutes after popping), it will start to take on the smell from the bowl. Because of this, we have been using the Nordic Ware bowl and then immediately transferring the popped kernels to another serving bowl.

Question: Which was a perfect choice?

I am in the process of substituting all of my plastic containers for BPA free equivalents. Popit Little Big Box was a perfect choice. The plastic is sturdy, the lids fasten in a secure and air tight fashion, the sizes are perfect for storing leftovers of varying volume and for carrying foodstuffs. I especially appreciate the fact that the containers are not only stackable, but fit into one another minimizing storage space. At this price, it's hard to imagine a better bargain. Highly recommended.

Question: are you new for the juicer ?

I have not owned a juicer in quite a few years. So it was quite a treat to try out this one.While it is plastic and lightweight, it appears to be quite durable. It juiced anything I "threw" at it, though as someone mentioned it occasionally gets to the point where the pulp builds up in the strainer, and it has to be cleaned out, especially with larger citrus. That's PROBABLY typical ... I remember my old one doing the same thing.Best part of this one is that the container doubles as a pitcher.Overall I like it very much.

Question: What did the author bu the stands to hold?

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: How can we find out conversion of Fahrenheit into Celsius?

The Dorkfood is cheap and it works. So there's that. Pair it with a bucket heater or a crockpot with a dial and you're good to go.There are a couple downsides. For one, it's Fahrenheit only, whereas most sous vide recipes are in Celsius, so be prepared to type "50 c to f" into google every time you use it.For another, the UI is kinda crappy. When you hit the temp button, you could not possibly want to do anything other than change the temp. What does it do? Nothing. You have to hold down the button for what feels like a minute before you actually can.These are minor gripes though, and as a result I give it a solid 4 stars.

Question: Does it give you specific measurements?

Do you like to cook and sometimes don't get the right measurements for your ingredients? I have on different occasions before. Using measuring cups sometimes does not get the accurate measurement, especially for flour. Then you end up with thin cookies like I have done more than once.That's why the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is coming in real handy for my kitchen. This is an elegant and very modern looking scale indeed. It also is a sturdy and well made kitchen scale. It doesn't take up a lot of space on your kitchen counter and would look great sitting with your other kitchen appliances.This awesome scale would be great for measuring your amount of food for dieters or people watching their calorie intake also. You will know the specific measurement of your food and there will be no more guessing how much you ate. It is a lot easier than measuring the old fashioned way with measuring cups or what have you. The numbers are so easy to see even with a large bowl on the scale. I really love this amazing and exquisite kitchen scale!

Question: What problem did someone else have with the product?

I've used this product for several weeks. It does a good job and I've not experienced the problem others have described ie the motor shutting down for a 'mandatory' cooling off period. That said, the 'static-free' glass container is a bit of a laugh. I've ground several different types of Arabica beans and there is virtually always static cling and it's always a bit messy. On the other hand, a little mess often goes with preparing something from 'scratch', so it doesn't really bother me - just don't expect the manufacturer's 'no-static' claim to be much more than marketing hype. Bottom line: I like this grinder and I'd recommend it to a friend.

Question: how much did the clothes racks cost?

My husband and I had to get creative when we moved into a place that had a master bedroom without a closet. We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. Then one night we just laid down to watch a movie when suddenly; BOOM! One of them collapsed and literally fell apart right before our eyes. 100 or so pounds of clothes ended up sitting on the floor until we bought our second set. Even the second set that had slightly better build quality ended up leaning to one side after about a week of ownership. Feeling completely helpless, I thought about looking into industrial clothes racks because you never see those babies bend or break in stores! So, I found this one, bought it, and we LOVE it. It is a tank! We have all of our clothes filling both sides including several heavier coats and suits and it has not bent at all. The wheels roll smoothly too and it is pretty attractive for being a garment rack. I wish we bought this in the first place. If you need a strong, functional garment rack, don't hesitate and buy this one right now!

Question: How much of the tomato is left now?

I ordered this Feb 20 and got it before the end of the month.I immediately placed an uncut tomato in it. It was probably a week before I cut the first 2 thin slices. Then another week before another cut. And another week before my third cut.It has now been 5 weeks and I still have about 1/3 of my tomato AND IT'S STILL FRESH!I really do have a hard time believing how well this little thing works but it dos.Because we use tomatoes very sparingly, I've thrown out loads of soft, mushy, black-spotted tomato remnants.NO MORE! Good to the last slice!

Question: On what side was the AC unit weighted?

I thought this was a large tray at first but it's only about 5" wide and around 21" long. It was easy to install and put together. I did it by myself without my husband helping me. I just followed the detailed instructions included in the package and got my drill and went at it. My AC unit was weighted on the left side so I had a bit of difficulty balancing the weights just right so that the plank carried most of it instead of the window, and it took me about 2 tries... then I just readjusted my AC a bit off center to balance it further. The AC was 67 lbs. so It was a bit of a struggle, but this made it so much easier to install. Great buy, just make sure you read the instructions.

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

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