Question: The fan is not powerful enough to do what?

This item operates as it should. All mechanical operations did not fail. It is simply too small, and not powerful enough to cool anything with any degree of effectiveness. I followed all directions for use. Inserted fresh batteries. Turned it on. Then left it in my car for a few hours on a 60 degree temperature day. When I came back to the car, the fan was still on. But the interior was hot. The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to, but the air was not cool. All that it did was circulate hot air. If this fan can't cool the inside of a car, then how is it suppose to work in a room?

Question: What did I buy?

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 type of stove does the writer have?

This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. It boils enough water at once for my 6 cup tea pot or for ramen and because the kettle is not too big, it boils quick. It really is cute too! I don't think this kettle is any worse quality wise than other more expensive kettles. The handle doesn't get too hot to pick up either, although I have an electric stove I don't know about a gas range. Mine doesn't sputter when boiling. I like that it doesn't take up a lot of space, my old kettle was wide and big and it looked stupid on my stovetop.

Question: What does this product have that saves in filter costs?

The product works really well, its very sensitive. It sense smell and particles. it has an area for smell and particles and it monitors the air and turns up and down as needed. I put on perfume by it and the smell sensor goes way up and it cranks up, the dogs run by it and the particle indicator goes up and it turns on. you can also set it on manual but its cool. the thingi really liked about it is the rest all have like $100 a year in filters you have to buy and this has washable filters even for the hepa.I think it has helped a lot, i have 5 dogs inside and it has significantly improved the smell of my house

Question: What is important to be healthy?

I've been a kitchen knife connoisseur since I started to get into healthy eating many years back. Let's face it, if you want to be healthy, a proper diet is essential and cannot be overlooked. The problem is not finding high quality foods, fresh organic produce can be found in nearly every neighborhood in America. Even big name grocery stores are carrying organic produce. The problem is making the time to prepare your own meals. For this, a proper kitchen knives set is essential. They make cooking enjoyable and the food made from a happy chef always seems to taste better.When you look at my current kitchen set-up, you'll find a collection of high quality steel knives:Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star II 11-Piece Knife Set with Block,J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro Stainless Steel Steak Knives, Set of 4, andZwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. And an assortment of high quality ceramic knives:Kyocera Revolution Series Knives, 5-1/2-inch Santoku Knife, White Blade,Kyocera Revolution Series 3-1/7- Inch Paring Knife with Red Handle, White Blade, andKyocera Revolution Series 5-Inch Micro Serrated Utility Knife, White Blade.I am a firm believer that you can't know something until you personally experience it. This is especially true with kitchen knives and computer keyboards. When shopping for my knives, I went to the local specialty kitchen store and tested out every knife set they had - the full range of J.A. Henckels, Wusthof, and Victorinox brands, and smaller specialty knife companies like Kyocera. I took home with me (or bought on Amazon) the knives that felt best in my hand. When you shop for high-end kitchen cutlery the blade materials are nearly identical between the brands and models, so the deciding factor is always the way the knife feels in your hand. After all this is where every knife will gets it's final grade. Personally, I prefer the more modern ergonomic designs with their soft curves and smooth finish. The distribution of a knife's weight is crucial with speed and precision.Bodum is new to the high-end knife market, trying to stake their claim with an array of ceramic knives. While a Santoku is my "go to" knife in the kitchen, this particular Santoku knife from Bodum won't find too much use from me. And again, it's all due to personal preference.... The knife cuts smooth and stays sharp. My complaint is with the balance of the weight of this knife. The area where the blade meets the handle is thick with ceramic and heavy. For me this negatively affects my cutting action. I prefer a more evenly distributed weight and a lighter knife. In addition, I like my knife handle smooth - it allows the blade to rest nicely against my palm. This Bodum Santoku knife uses a bumpy rubber-like handle that while provides a solid grip, just isn't to my liking.All is all, this is a nice kitchen knife. The price is fair for ceramic and the green color is fresh and fun. Add an all-white ceramic blade to the funky green handle and this knife will be an icebreaker for a single man/woman cooking dinner for his/her date or an exciting conversation piece for a dinner party with family or friends.

Question: What type of dowel may cause problems with this bag?

So this suit bag is nice, a good size, and seems like it will hold up well, but it has one drawback. They holes for the rack bar to go through are small. We have a wooden dowel for the clothing rack & I had to force the bag to fit on this bar. I got it on there (after quite a fight), but the bag cannot slide or move. I use it for traveling with our garments we make for our business, so it stays in one place, but it would of been better if the holes would of accommodated the clothing bar. I think that the metal bars that many closets use would work fine, but if you have a wooden dowel, it may have the same issue I have had.

Question: what color(s) is the spatula?

I was looking for a very small spatula - more in the 6 - 8 inch long size - and couldn't find anything, so decided to try this one with it's smaller size head and it works fine. You can scoop out the last bit of yougurt in the container, get the last of the soup from the can or clean out the saucepan. Wish this company would make one about half the length with a smaller head as that is a very useful size for so many things. However, this will do until then. Cleans just fine and the color choices are good, got the Vanilla and the Red one.

Question: They still have a moka pot that is made of what material?

I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. I still have one actually, but it's a larger (stainless steel) variant. Making coffee in the office, many times I'll want to just make coffee for myself instead of the two cups that the larger model would produce. Sometimes a coworker would take the spare cup of coffee, but often it would go cold sitting there as not everyone can handle such an amazing cup of coffee.This thing is perfect for one american sized cup of coffee with creamer. I use this thing in conjunction with a hot plate in the office. Who needs K-cups?

Question: Where did the toaster get sticky?

I like this toaster. Much of what others have said is true though. It doesn't brown that evenly... and so on. Still it might be the only LONG and WIDE slot toaster available at a reasonable price. I mostly toast long slices of sour dough bread. True, it sometimes burns at the ends but you get what you pay for. I bought mine at Target 5 years ago and it's still going strong. The down-catch got sticky and I started looking for a new toaster, so I'm glad I found this offering to have my positive say. BTW, the catch freed up and is fine now.

Question: How many inches are all of the things now from the door after using this product?

I have one tiny closet to hold my vacuum, ironing board, cleaning chemicals, and all the things needed to clean my house and the things in it, We were really having issues with the closet getting over-crowded and things falling on top of each other, and this was one of the things we bought to try to organize it. After having had it now for almost a year, I can say it's been very helpful. The ironing board, iron, and related products are out of the way from all of the other items in the closet, extending only a few inches from the door, but very accessible when time to use them. Recommended!

Question: Why were they reluctant to purchase online?

After looking at many different locations we couldn't find what were looking for, we found this on Amazon and was very hesitant of ordering a large item online especially one that took a fair amount of labor (more on that later). Needless to say when it was all said and done we are very happy with it, the drawers are very useful and a good size and space for all of the components is perfect. The best thing about it is the height, with small children in the house it is high enough that we don't worry about them touching the TV, yet still a very comfortable viewing height.The only reason I give it 4 stars vs. 5 is because of the amount of time it took to build it! Between my wife and I it took nearly 2 hours. The directions are ok but could have been much clearer, and the parts could of been separated and labeled much better than just a "bag" full of parts.I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good tv stand but willing to spend sometime putting it together.

Question: How heavy is the reviewer's foam mattress

The product itself seems well made with a nice terry cloth top. It was also remarkably easy to slip it onto my queen size 95lb foam mattress. However, it did have a strong odor and still had a slight odor after I washed it. I'm sure it is from the waterproof material that is used in its construction. The title of the item has changed so that the size mattress is more clearly indicated. When I bought it the size was buried in the middle of the title. I got the wrong size, initially, as did at least one other reviewer of this item. While this change to make the mattress size more prominent is useful, it would help if in the photo it indicated what size mattress the protector will fit.

Question: How many times has this person used the rack?

Decided on buying this drying rack after reading some reviews about wooden racks. People complained that they broke, got mildew and were hard to assemble etc. Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. No assembly needed just take it out the box, set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. Construction is sturdy and durable. Easy clean up...I just used a damp cloth to wipe it down. When closed the drying rack takes up very little space and fits neatly back in the box.The item arrived as promised and in good condition. I've used it once and am quite pleased.

Question: what material is the pan made of?

Well constructed, heavy, durable...these pans provide even heat across the whole cooking area. The non-stick surface is far superior to those found on most other brands of cookware. Foods slide off with ease. Because of the aluminum construction, it is rarely necessary to turn the heat much over halfway on my electric range. I have to admit, my wife and I usually buy AllClad. At this price point, however, these pans were irresistible. When compared to AllClad, I do not believe we have given up any quality by owning these pans. We've only saved money.Note: For what it's worth, these pans are made in China, unlike the Calphalon Commercial from yesteryear. Guess that's why they are priced so low.

Question: The stand was hung off the back of what?

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 did the hangers arrive?

These hangers are worthless, and even put holes in your garbage bag when you throw them away.They are even pre broke when you buy them.I bought like 75 of them last spring, and a year later I have maybe 15 left, and only because they are in the back of my closet.Save your money, and find better hangers, this brand, and others that sell the same under different names should be banned from Amazon.Cheap, not when you have to buy more soon after.

Question: What brand of water filter is the Mavea brand better than?

The Maeva Universal Filter 2 pack is a great alternative to buying the Brita replacement filters because they just don't need presoaking. In our home we have very hard water and so we use both the water pitchers and the larger three gallon dispenser in our refrigerator. WThe Mavea filter fit in both units absolutely perfectly. Unlike Brita filters they don't need that presoak or the need to run at least two to six pitchers of water just to get the grayish carbon residue out of the water in order to get it to come out clear. Even though it technically was not necessary, one rinse sufficed with the Mavea filter and the water ran crystal clear and clean. The water tastes great and it seems to be removing the same level of impurities and are lasting at least the same amount of time as the Brita filters, too. I was very pleasantly surprised with this product and the pricing is comparable. It is most likely that we I will continue to buy this brand over Brita's own.

Question: what was the biggest complaint?

Absolutely love it. Researched a dozen mixers, biggest complaint was that slow speeds were too fast. This one is realllllly slooooow and always starts at the lowest speed. Beaters were a bit tricky to learn to insert properly, finally found the knack for it. Having the blender beater (single) means I can mix dough and beat egg whites or cream separately without cleaning anything in between. Feels like a quality piece of equipment, well made. Hoping I won't experience the failures described by others as I only use it once a week.

Question: What product is the person looking at instead of this product?

Not much I really like about it other than it's a 12 cup thermal brewer. Things I don't like. When you take the pot out after brewing the basket drips some. The pot has a very small opening. You can't get your hand inside to wash it. Not even my wife's very tiny hand. You have to have man like hands to open the pot. The top outside diameter is huge. The water level is on the back side. You can't see it from the front. The water tank isn't removable making it more difficult to fill. I have not experienced the thing peeing coffee all over the counter top as many have mentioned. It is no where close to being the complete thermal brewer my beloved Starbucks Baristta, RIP, was. I'll probably end up giving it to my daughter-in-law.Not sure what I would buy.Update: It's toast. My wife and I hate this thing. Hope the daughter-in-law likes it. I'm looking at a Mr. Coffee Optimal Brew 10 cup thermal. It has a wider mouth, removable tank and side loading filter basket. Would like a 12 cup but they are virtually non-existent. That Dyson guy needs to look into making a real good coffee maker.Update #2. Bought the Mr. Coffee machine and couldn't be more satisfied. No mess, water tank is a breeze to fill, comes with gold filter (although we use disposable brown filters), shorter than the nightmare above and less $. The only raps on the Mr. Coffee is that is only 10 cups, would prefer 12 and has a disposable water filter. WE have RO water so tossed that a week ago. OK if you don't have any filtration system. They good for a month, not sure what they cost. Bottomline, Mr. Coffee you're the best I could find.

Question: What size knife did this person actually get?

I purchased this set for my son who was ready to upgrade to 1st class knives. Although the packaging said I was getting a 6" 'Cook's' knife, what I actually received was an 8" 'Chef's' knife (and that was fine with me).I had hoped the block would also accommodate the Calphalon (See my review of this bargain.) 6" meat fork I purchased to go along with the knife set. Unfortunately, the slots are a little too thin to accept the tines. (This was also true of the Henckels knife block, part of my personal set.)The reason I rated the set 4-Stars was that the handles, poly(whatever), did not fit my hand as comfortably as my Henckels 4-Star set. Additionally, they felt quite slick. The knives feel heavy and are well balanced (as well, they should be).

Question: Which feature on the deep fryer keeps clean oil for the next use?

This is fantastic. I would recommend to all. I spent a little extra to get the timer feature and it was worth it. The oil filtering system is wonderful and easy to use. You just need to be sure you have the oil collection container in place and it strains the dirty oil into the collection container storing filtered clean oil until your next use. You then can clean most everything in the dishwasher, just not the heating element and fryer housing. I have had 6 deep fryers and this is by far the best.

Question: What word  did the author say the describe the surface of the pan?

The pan is nice and sturdy, I wish the sides were just a bit taller, but it still worked for my recipe. The coating is not sprayed as with other pans, so it is a bit thicker in places. Unfortunately, in one of the places it was so think, that a spike formed, and I cut my fingers on it while washing the pan. It was on the outside of the pan, near the rim. My husband filed it down, and it is now nice and smooth. The surface is smooth and although I needed to run a spatula around the cake to remove it, it was really easy to wash after that, see - I didn't even use a cloth to wash it, and my cut fingers are the proof for that.

Question: what kind of grip is need to hold onto the handle so it doesn't slip?

Great lid and it opens so you can clean, hold fluids hot for long time and overall is an excellent product and design. My only quibble is the handle is so slick it's hard to hold and sip from without having a death grip on it. If it had some texture and your grip could be more natural it would be even better....IMHO. I was thinking a Silicon sleeve would be the bomb but like you can just find one of those anywhere? This isn't a real big issue but just what I've noticed and I'll say I still love these for the canister and lid mechanisms.

Question: What might it be good for?

What I like:1. easy on my latex free dishwashing gloves which are not cheap.2. well written instructions/pictures. a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3. it stays clean. The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning4. as easy to crank as any other manuel. electricity free and fits in a drawer5. even works on pop-top cansWhat I don't like - keep your old manual around1. does not work on all cans, especially those really small2. can not use lid to drain liquids. while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods.I know a product should only get 5 stars if I have no dislikes, but this met my requirements for it 100%. I wanted a manual can opener that would help encourage me to recylce more.As far as durability, I'll have to wait and see. Just got it for Christmas 2009.10/2011 I still love this and it has held up very well.

Question: What color are the lights that can be turned on and off?

PROS:- Nice design.- Blue lights can be switch On and Off.- Easy to clean.- Good amount of steam.- Tank is easy to open and carry.CONS:- Tank is small, 1 gallon is for approx. 8 hours. So You have to refill every day.- Steam only goes up straight, the angled attachment seems not working great.

Question: How many children does the reviewer have?

I have 4 children and have had this for 3 months now. It is GREAT, I would highly recomend if you do not want the cereal boxes lying around everywhere. It keeps the cereal fresh, is easy to fill and super easy for a 3, 5, 6 and 10 year old to get their cereal each morning. The quality is excelent. 4 friends who saw it at my house have already bought it. It is large, in the picture you cannot tell so much but it does ocupy some space. it also contains a full box of cereal in each canister. I read the bad reviews and have not had one problem with cereal crunching or anything of the sort, up to now I have put in cherios, fruit loops and reeses puffs, perfect performance, no complaints at all. I set it up myself and it was supert easy and fast to put together.

Answer: 4 children

<hl> I have 4 children and have had this for 3 months now. <hl> It is GREAT, I would highly recomend if you do not want the cereal boxes lying around everywhere. It keeps the cereal fresh, is easy to fill and super easy for a 3, 5, 6 and 10 year old to get their cereal each morning.

Question: Do these kernals taste the same as others?

This popper is awesome ( as poppers go). Long ago I had another brand, but this Presto is blazing fast and pops every kernel.. I put it to the test with 6 brands and never had more than 1 or 2 unpopped kernels. The size and volume were another thing entirely. All samples are of the same weight of popping corn (weighed for accuracy on a postal scale). Some popped up twice the volume of others. The mushroom popcorn was purchased on Amazon (Mushroom Popcorn Kernels - Just Poppin Brandby Just Poppin). How did they taste? Pretty much the same, except the Trader Joes Organic was tougher and more chewy.

Question: How long does it take to peel a dozen apples with this peeler?

My wife and I pick our own honey crisp apples in the fall and we usually end up with quite a large "reserve", so she'll make pies and apple crisps and other deserts. Rather than try to peel apples by hand like we did in the past, we wanted something to speed up the process. Apple peeling (even with two people) can get pretty tedious if you're not really good at it.This peeler does a great job of that (can go through a dozen Apples in 3 or 4 minutes once you find a setting that works for your most common apple size), but one complaint I have is that it tends to take a lot of the apple with the skin if you're not careful. My wife and I ended up eating a bunch of the ends as we went along because it would shave thick chunks off either end. Not a big deal if you're at home but if you want to use this for a bakery or something it might lead to a fair amount of apple waste if you have a lot of apples that are not "symmetrical" or mostly round.That said it's sturdily built, looks pretty cool (like it belongs in an old-fashioned kitchen), and got through the first 4 dozen or so apples we tested on it without any mechanical problems. We'll see how it stands up to next fall's test / if any of the thiner parts break, etc. Will update if it does. If no update you can assume it's working great a year later.(Note: we have not tried it on potatoes.)

Question: What is the best part of a cold beer?

Some beers just taste better cold. Have you ever noticed how the first sip of an ice cold beer is always the best? Or have you noticed how some bars server certain beers in frosted mugs? They know that some beers just taste better when kept cold. I like some beers at a warmer temperature, but for others these mugs are awesome.We just keep them in the freezer upside down, pour the beer in slowly down the inside of the mug and enjoy. These things get so cold they will freeze some of the beer to the inside of the mugs. If you're going to be sitting inside you might want to let the mugs warm up slightly before use to prevent too much of the beer from freezing inside. If you are outside in the warmer air then get ready for beer drinking perfection. :)

Question: How many cups could it make?

First let me say that this product is excellent but I have a problem with the amazon rating system. Sorry amazon, but Cupid didn't appear and shoot his arrow because I don't believe he drinks coffee, so I don't "Love it".I'm somewhat enamored though because this works pretty well with a fine grind. But these aren't as fine meshed as paper, so expect some mud at the bottom of your pot.I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. Sometimes I'd notice the top of the filter was bent over the grounds when I emptied it, leading me to believe that water ran down the side and not over the grounds.I've tried giving this filter sly winks and pet names, however we remain friends and I see no love in our future. Recommended.

Question: What decade was the reviewer's house built in?

I gave this organizer three stars because it seems well made, however I couldn't actually use it because it didn't fit any of our doors. It was wide enough to fit over the top on some of the inside doors on our 1960's era home, but not our door to the garage, where I wanted to use it. On the doors where it did fit on the top, we decided not to use it because it made the doors difficult to close, and my husband concerned that the top of the rack was bulky enough to damage the doors if we tried to force close them.I have a different brand of over the top door hangar and that actually fits our bedroom and closet doors with no issues, and I am able to close the doors just fine. So I am not sure what is up with this particular door rack. Overall I usually really like OXO products, so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe this rack fits the doors on newer homes better. But for me this was a product I could not use.

Question: How does the Roomba seem in reviews?

We are in love with our Roomba. The Roomba does as is promised. Much like all of the reviews we read before purchasing, we experience that the robot takes its own path appearing erratic; however, it cleans the entire floor. For large rooms (like our open floor plan living / dining kitchen) you should definitely use the included virtual wall. It works well. The first 3-4 times we used it, we just watched in awe as the Roomba cleaned our floor. You should definitely clean the brushes once a week or so, but that's an easy task compared to sweeping entire rooms. Roomba will also easily encourage you to keep your rooms tidy. it's much easier to concentrate on keeping big items off the floor than sweeping the entire floor daily. Roomba has taught us tidier habits and has keep our hardwoods grime free. We have several friends who have their Roombas on order!

Question: How is the lid locked?

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: Why did the dough on the side shrink down?

USA pans are the best, in my opinion. But these.....maybe I don't know how to use them. I was heating a pie shell partially before adding the filling, and because of the coating on the pans, the dough on the sides shrunk down. I imagine that if you filled the shell and put a top on the pie, squeezing the top with the side along the rim that it would work. But I can't say that for sure. I just know that without the top, it doesn't work because the coating causes the dough to slide down on the sides.

Question: how does the author feel about the napkin holder

This napkin holder from OXO is a really interesting and cool design. I have to admit that I've never quite seen a napkin holder like it, and it's uniqueness really adds something to an otherwise boring dinner table. I definitely like the feel of it too - it's weighted and so it feels substantial, yer retains its sleek look. When the napkins start to get low in the holder, the weighted arm does make it mildly difficult to neatly pull out napkins - perhaps this is a mild nit-pick which can be easily remedied by just re-filling the napkins. But otherwise, I quite like this napkin holder.

Question: How many  can it dry if you have both sides up?

Sometimes the design of something is so cool that I like using it to just get to see it work and this is one of those items. I can have one side up to dry one sweater or both sides up to dry 3 sweaters or put the sides down and slip clothing on just the bars or fold it very easily to store. I can not say enough good things about this dryer and even though we have a new house, I have been known to show this dryer before showing off the house. I am still blown away at how much it can hold and how light it is. I do use it inside so I can't tell ya how it is in the wind. If you can't tell, I think it is the best I've seen!

Question: Will the seller purchase the mitts again?

Question: What store did the author buy the product?

I bought this to use for making jam. I have never made preserves before and wanted something that would make it easier for me figure out how far to fill the jar from the top. This worked perfectly. The interior wide mouth funnel easily sits on a jar with no wobbling, while the exterior hangs outside of the jar. It also easily sits on a countertop (although I would recommend lifting it from the jar you just completed, directly onto the next one you are going to fill). I was able to pick this up at Wal-mart for about $5. Yes, the cheapy ones run about $1.50 but this is sturdier and more stable so the price differential was worth it to me. It is also dishwasher safe on the top rack.
