Question: How is the performance of the product?

It looks good. It has actually useful and worthwhile features (temp, and "keep warm"). My coffee really does seem better at 175F (aeropress).In use though, you have to 'learn it'. Not hard, but bearing in mind we're not doing anything even a tad complex, seems a bit unnecessary. At the start there was a lot of trying buttons and not being entirely sure whether it succeeded or not.For example, my first use: hit the temp I want. It should have started, but it looks like it hasn't - heh, "Start" is unlit, press that; hey - now the temp is flashing, wtf? looks urgent, I have to press something... Hit the temp again... nothing changes. Oh, perhaps it just flashes like that in that urgent looking manner for no reason... Well, not too painful. Wait, I've finished with it, how do I make it stop...? What?, I really have to manually turn the thing off every time?This is all in the manual and not too obscure, but really, how much should I need a manual? How confused should a guest in my house be by /an electric kettle/?At this price I expect someone to do a quality design of the controls, not just the aesthetics. I do like the kettle and I'm feeling generous so I'm giving it a 4, rather than a 3, but it's a close thing.Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars, might contemplate 2. My wife and I, who are pretty tech-savvy, get caught out by the silly interface for this frequently - both intending to turn it on and failing, and failing to turn it off when we're finished with it. Added to that, and it's increasingly failing to shut off from the boil setting in a timely manner. I think it still shuts off, but takes a couple of minutes of boiling. Overall, it's a nice looking product, but the user experience was not designed properly at all, and the performance is questionable.

Answer: questionable

Question: Why was the product first bought?

We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them. Now we're again finding it indispensable for number two and three (now ages 1, 3, and 5)I like it for:1) Handle installs and removes quickly and easily.2) vacuum hangs easy on the charger - some other ones we've had are tricky to pop into the charger correctly if you want it to be installed vertically.3) Power roller bar - really sucks up those cheerios quickly, even on hard floors.4) Easily removable battery - charger has a second battery charging slot so you can swap out.When I bought this the cashier at Target told me that this was what they used to clean up spills in the store. It's now almost 3 years old and the battery is starting to show it's age (It's easily removable so I'll be buying a spare soon)UPDATE: The original battery is still going strong. To eliminate the "Memory" I just ran down the battery between charges rather than keeping it on the charger "topping off" all the time. Works great now, as good as new!UPDATE2 - after 5-1/2 years the original battery is finally dead. OEM replacement part cost me $19.99 including shipping, good as new!!!!TIP: When emptying I find it handy to use a full size vacuum cleaner to get the filter extra clean.If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

Question: What can be improved to avoid "leaking"?

The machine works great. Just pour in milk and twist the knob for foam, anyone can do it. Other machines have the steam "stem" and you had to have a good technique to get good foam, this one is idiot proof.The auto foaming only fails when we use heavy cream. Milk, Half and half etc all worked perfectly for us. What happens when it doesn't and what the others mean by "leaking" is that the machine combines steam and Milk from a "Milk reservoir", if whatever you are using is too heavy to be sucked up through the straw, it will slowly just push from the top and eventually "leak" from the front of the machine. It gives plenty of warning because if it doesn't start dispensing foam within a few seconds , then something is wrong.We mainly use ours for coffee and foam. Which is does well, you don't need to have the espresso handles on the machine as there is a turn valve that eliminates the "dummy plugs" with other machines.Like anything under $400 these days, it's mainly plastic so we're hoping to get at least a year or two out of it. The foaming mechanism is clever but could be improved to avoid the "leaking" that sometimes occurs, but overall we would buy this one again over any of the others for the price range.

Question: What kind of construction does the can opener have?

When our can opener broke, I hopped on Amazon to look for a new one. I couldn't believe the number of 5-star reviews for this one! I have never seen another product on Amazon that has such a high percentage of 5-star reviews plus a respectable number of reviews. Even though it cost a little more than other can openers, I figured I HAD to try this magical device. Well, I'm here to add to those 5-star reviews. This thing cuts through cans like butter. I could probably turn it if I breathed on it hard enough. Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea. It's smooth and easy to use, and with the all-metal construction, I do not see this thing breaking anytime soon. I'm converted.

Answer: all-metal

Question: What is the relative cost of the product?

I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive, lightweight and work just great with cotton candy. We use them in our commercial concessions and bounce house company and they are a huge hit. They hold a lot of cotton candy and don't fall apart easy. I'd recommend.

Question: Were they happy with the item?

I was intrigued with this product since it had great reviews from other customers, but I was disappointed. First off, it looked like it was used, and the light that was supposed to come on when plugged in worked intermittenly. The unit produced enough steam, but it was not hot. I could put my hand in front of it and the steam was just warm. I returned the product, after two failed attempts at trying to clean anything with it. I don't know if it was just a bad unit, or if all steamers work this way.

Question: How much less electricity does the Breville toaster oven use than a regular oven?

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Question: how the juicer useful for ?

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: Where can you get the product for a good price?

All good things about this item have already been said. This unit is absolutely true to the size stated in the description; shiny chrome finish, and a snap (literally) to put together. Shelves are easily adjustable, and the unit has self-leveling feet so if your floor (or wherever you place this) is uneven, you can easily fix the shelf for stability. Absolutely NO tools required - only about five minutes. The unit is extremely strong and sturdy. There is a 1" edge around each shelf, which faces downward, so if you have items that might have to "hang" over the shelf, or have a door that swings open and over the shelf, it's not a problem, because this 1" edge will not be in the way. You might find yourself looking for other places to use this thing... it's a super bargain! P.S. Watch the price on this item if you're not in a rush... varies between $15 - $20. on Amazon.

Question: What is on the vacuum cleaner that allows one to switch between hard floors and carpeting?

This is the best vacuum EVER. It is the perfect size for a duplex townhouse. I had both a regular upright vacuum and a tiny little stick vac, this does the job of both and is very light to carry up and down the stairs. I love that it has a very accessible button to switch from hard floor to carpeting and the dust canister is extremely easy to empty. I charged the battery as soon as I received it, and I have used it almost every night for 2 weeks and just had to re-charge the battery yesterday.I am very happy with this purchase!!!

Question: how many modes does this product have?

This Hoover vacuum was simple to put together. The handle snapped in and it was ready to go. The hose in the back has 2 modes for tools or for regular floor cleaning. The vacuum is lightweight compared to my old Hoover WindTunnel, and lighter than my Bissell and Shark Professional that I tried in the same price range. Suction wise it's good, only time will tell as new vacuums always work better.It does not seem as well made as the Shark Professional which was in the same price point with similar features and pretty great maneuverability but is lighter in weight than the Shark. The canister is easy to empty. It cleaned a pretty dirty carpet and was easy to maneuver even in bathrooms due to its lighter weight. Carrying it up the stairs is also much easier. The filter on this vacuum is rinse and reuse which is convenient.Overall, a good vacuum but do your research as there are many other vacuums in this price point, some with more tools and features.

Question: Which product is not sturdy and won't support much weight?

GOOD FEATURES:1. Looks niceBAD FEATURES:1. Not sturdy2. Poorer quality than the Tablemate I bought a few years back.The one I bought a few years back was called the same thing, but the metal legs were much stronger and of a heavier metal. I use that one all the time to eat, rest my elbows on when watching TV, or to sort things. It can support a lot of weight. The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. Very inferior.

It can support a lot of weight. <hl> The newer one <hl> is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. Very inferior.


Question: What did the aquarium pump and timer cost?

I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed. I would guess I maybe used it 200 times total. Unfortunately one day the spinner motor stopped working. That wasn't a huge deal as it could chill cans really quickly with just the water pump. But eventually the water pump stopped working as well. The thing started smoking one day and completely died. Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer.

Question: How many bags does the Panasonic vacuum come with?

Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the bags lasted. Even though they aren't terribly big, they are very sturdy and expand to hold a great deal more dust and dirt that expected. Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material. They are very easy to change and don't "leak" dirt and dust all over when you take them out of the canister. At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house.

Question: What has the reviewer used this product for?

So far no complaints! I've used it to cover a pan when frying to prevent splatters, and also as a flour sifter. Worked better for the first purpose, but just fine for the second as well. I read reviews complaining about rust forming, so I'm careful to wash it right after using and drying it well, and I haven't had that problem yet. My only comment is if you use it with a hot pan, it also gets hot, so be careful not to touch it except at the handle. (This is probably quite obvious, but in a moment of distraction I forgot and burned myself. Still rating 5 stars since this is not a problem with the screen!)

Question: What happened to their old bread maker?

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: How much noise does the mixer make?

KitchenAid has been making fine kitchen appliances for nearly a century now - their first product having been a mixer! This mixer is a nice machine that really does the job. It is nice and large, with a good deal of capacity. The motor seems good and powerful, and really gets the job done. I can easily mix up two batches of cookies at one time, without stressing the mixer.As an added bonus, I guess because the motor is so powerful, the mixer is relatively quiet - not the sort to break your eardrums.I love my mixer!(Review of KitchenAid KSM155GBEB Artisan Designer Series)

Question: Where is the Knorr's Vegetable stock available?

For the noodle maker, this is much faster and easier than using a pasta machine. The dough is very wet, so it goes through the holes quickly and gets sliced off by the square box, and right into the boiling water or broth they go. Cook them, then dehydrate them, and store them in a jar - that's how I make them, and this tool is fun to use! Do try cooking your spaetzle in Knorr's vegetable stock - the gel in a little pot - it is so delicious!

Question: What doesn't the author have that is small enough?

Yes, it's small, we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description. I guess I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to transfer the grounds into the espresso thingy. I don't really have a small enough spoon to get in the grinder basin so I try to just grind a perfect amount and then carefully dump it into the press. It always makes quite a mess on the counter but I haven't looked for another product because this one does it's job of grinding beautiful aromatic coffee so well!

Question: Which of the brand of knives are named after a famous TV personality?

I was poised to purchase an electric knife sharpener. I'm glad I didn't. I think this knife sharpener is just fine for the everyday "Mom" kind of cook. I'm not boning chicken or chopping cups upon cups of veggies every day. I doubt this is for the very serious cook, but that type cook should probably know to hone a knife properly with a stone or a steel.I used the 2nd slot for a newer top of the line J A Henckels chef knife, and both slots for dull Pampered Chef, Anolon and Martha Stewart knives. I did the paper test after, and all of the knives easily cut the paper at a 45 degree angle.This sharpener looks great and doesn't take up much space on the counter if you like to hone your knives before each use. Otherwise it fits fine into my knife drawer that is 3 1/2" deep.I have not used the knives after sharpening - I only did the paper test. I will still probably take the Henckels knife in for professional sharpening when it needs it, but I'll continue to use the 2nd slot to hone it up after every few uses.Well worth it for $19, but I would hesitate to pay the $40 retail price.

Question: What indicates the product is on?

I love this. I feel it is overpriced, but am not downgrading it for that because I still I haven't found anything else in this class. It is small, one foot tall, and has a great carry handle built into the back near the top. NONE of the outside surfaces get hot, even on high, and if it is picked up or tipped the safety tab on the bottom cuts it off instantly, so it is very safe for the kids and animals to be around. This is very important to us.The settings are 450 and 900 watts. The low setting is somewhat warming, the high really puts it out!When it is on, the ring around the switch on top glows so it is clear when it is on. It blowsabout a 90 degree width into the room.I wish there was a one hour setting on the timer, to go to sleep by. And I wish they would make a smaller personal one with a 200 or 250 watt setting.

Question: What are the bad things about this press?

Love it. Beautiful french press. Perfect size for either one or two. If drinking coffee alone, the amount is little enough that you won't waste any, and if you have a friend, you'll still have enough for the both of you. Materials-wise, this is perfect. I've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything. Not this one. The seal is good and feels well made. It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now.The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly.

Question: what did the reviewer use the left-over labels on?

I'm horribly disorganized. Well, not really, but my husband couldn't seem to find things on the wire shelves in our kitchen. Until [dramatic music] Attack of the Mouse Horde.Suddenly it was necessary to put foodstuffs and other items in large plastic boxes; even though they are translucent enough to see through, they're still a little opaque. At a distance it was difficult to discern exactly what was where. I knew where the bread box was, but he'd end up taking two or three off the shelf when he wanted to make a sandwich.Incidentally, the box idea worked. We are no longer bothered by the [fading dramatic music] Mouse Horde.Enter Ziggyboard. I'd gotten these spice jar labels to ID spices in a glass jar set; the idea of being able to rewrite is ideal for my purpose. With the left-over labels (there are plenty of labels if you're only doing spices) I could ID the plastic boxes. Interesting result and totally unexpected.I can find things myself far more easily. Husband can find the bread and now knows where to stash things; in the past I would periodically put things away he'd left out. With such clarity of organization now present in my kitchen, I began looking for other things to use labels on, and whole cabinets were cleared, cleaned, and reorganized.I've now purchased the rectangular label version in an attempt to tame the worst of all problem rooms: my sewing/crochet/art studio. Honestly, one would think I had a hoarding problem or something...

Question: How many pieces come with the cookware set?

I really love this set. I decided to gift this to my mother this week and we have been using the pots and pans included to cook and prep for an upcoming dinner event (Tonight actually!) and everything is wonderful! I love the non-stick surface of the solid, heavy, durable feeling pans. They feel so nice to work with. They aren't too hefty or cumbersome. They are the perfect size for my tiny mother to work with. She is always complaining about lugging around weighty pots and pans and I think this is going to be her new favorite cookware set to regularly use.I love the color of the set as well. It's a very rich bronze. Very, very pretty and elegant in any kitchen really. My mother has gone on and on about how she never thought she would love a bronze cookware set as much as she loves this since she has been used to using stainless steel for so long...but she is a convert now!This set comes with everything you would need to get started in the kitchen. The 10 piece set will accommodate pretty much anyone. My family is big into cooking and everyone has been really impressed with this set!I'm also super shocked at the price! VERY reasonable for what you get!!!

Question: What are the little wheels on the hand vac useful for?

This is a pretty good hand vac. It has a number of features that make it quite useful, and the missus and I are finding a lot of places around the house where this comes in handy. Some of the better features are the lithium ion battery, which keeps the vacuum ready to go just about all the time. I like the little wheels for moving it over larger areas and jobs, even though I don't really consider it to be that advantageous or useful. (Let's face it: for big jobs, it's easier to just get the big guns, like myDyson DC65 Animal Complete Upright Vacuum Cleaner.) The extendable crevice tool is handy, though the feature doesn't do much for its overall utility. (I would prefer a detachable one.)Still, with two cats and a big house, this is easy to use for things like small jobs on the stairs, both to the upstairs and from the garage, where it even handled leaves and lawn debris. It works great in cleaning around the litter boxes and under the appliances in the kitchen, and I even used it to get dust and paper fragments off the music stands on my pianos. It's easy to empty the canister, the charger doesn't have a huge footprint and isn't overly ugly, and the charger/stand also allows for vertical or horizontal storage. I suppose it wouldn't hurt if it was a little more powerful, but this has an acceptable noise level for the power it provides and didn't bog down on any jobs we attempted, so it's hard to complain about. It's a solid five star performer in my book.

Answer: moving it over larger areas and jobs

This is a pretty good hand vac. It has a number of features that make it quite useful, and the missus and I are finding a lot of places around the house where this comes in handy. Some of the better features are the lithium ion battery, which keeps the vacuum ready to go just about all the time. <hl> I like the little wheels for moving it over larger areas and jobs , even though I don't really consider it to be that advantageous or useful. <hl> (Let's face it: for big jobs, it's easier to just get the big guns, like myDyson DC65 Animal Complete Upright Vacuum Cleaner.) The extendable crevice tool is handy, though the feature doesn't do much for its overall utility. (I would prefer a detachable one.)Still, with two cats and a big house, this is easy to use for things like small jobs on the stairs, both to the upstairs and from the garage, where it even handled leaves and lawn debris. It works great in cleaning around the litter boxes and under the appliances in the kitchen, and I even used it to get dust and paper fragments off the music stands on my pianos. It's easy to empty the canister, the charger doesn't have a huge footprint and isn't overly ugly, and the charger/stand also allows for vertical or horizontal storage. I suppose it wouldn't hurt if it was a little more powerful, but this has an acceptable noise level for the power it provides and didn't bog down on any jobs we attempted, so it's hard to complain about. It's a solid five star performer in my book.

Question: For who does the author want to buy this product?

I was in desperate need of a can opener, and this little guy saved the day. It is extremely easy to use! Even someone who struggles in the kitchen, like myself, feels like a pro using this can opener. I have to be honest, I didn't think the can opener was working when I first used it. It cut into the lid so smoothly I couldn't tell it was working. I kept turning and suddenly the lid was off. (insert joke about men being fish out of water in the kitchen). It was slightly embarrasing, but I have never used a hand held can opener that was so easy to operate. I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. I know she will love it too!

Question: Why is this timer less likely to be broken?

I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud. This is it! Thanks to the complaints below I knew this was the product for me. No you can't hear it 3 rooms away, but neither does it blast my ears off just trying to set the thing.So far it works great. it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer. If you want loud get the CDN TM4 Count Down Big Digit timer.

Question: Is the reader satisfied with the quality of the good?

I bought the twin... the color tone is different than shown and the patterns noticeably clash. I've grown to like it, but I considered returning it.The quilt is definitely over-sized (which I like). The twin is really a full-size.I'm happy that its not stiff like some quilts can be. It also a bit warmer than most quilts and comforters... good for cold-natured sleepers.I am disappointed on the quality though. I washed it once on cold and its already noticeably faded. Also, the stitching on the sham is fraying. :/ For the price, I expected better.----UPDATE: I've had this for 3 months, and the fading has not increased. The quilt itself has not frayed, and the fraying on the sham seems isolated to that same very small section. I thought you might want to know that the twin quilt shrank a bit and is closer to is claimed twin-size than originally.The clashing patterns reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason, but its quirkiness is why I've grown to like it. I've had several quilts, and they all have different patterns sewn together. Yet, this one is unique, because the patterns seem somewhat random. They are just all different floral patterns.

Question: The on-off switch of the device would ideally be separated from what other switch?

I read most of the reviews on this scale before I bought it. Have had it for about 3 weeks so far. Works great. Appears to be precise. Digits easy to read.I downrated to 4 stars for two reasons:1. Large bowls cover the readout. It they had made the scale slightly taller, and changed the angle of the readout to closer to vertical (as my old scale was), then no matter how large the bowl, the scale could be read.2. I prefer a separate on-off switch from the tare switch. This design requires the user to press the on/off/tare switch once to zero it, and then a second time to turn the scale off. An unnecessary extra step.

Question: Does the travel mug come in different colors?

I have to say I was leery at first at the spill-proof claims, based on life experience with travel cups, mugs and tumblers.However, this is absolutely that - 100% spill-proof. Great shape for gripping, fits in the cupholders and keeps my coffee hot for the drive in each morning.Did I mention it comes in enough colors to match anybody's tastes? My blue one is almost the same color as my 10th Anniversary Edition Miata so I am pleased there.The only possible improvement I would ask for is a larger size in the same design. 16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly. However, where is the fun in that? I loaded it up with a carbonated citrus soda on ice and demonstrated its failure to leak for my wife by inverting it several times. When I lifted the cup to my mouth and pressed the trigger, I got a virtual fountain of beverage propelled directly into my mouth. The laughter from my wife was worth the small cleanup effort required afterward. Seriously, non-carbonated drinks probably ARE better in the long run, unless you are trying for the comedy effect.

Question: When did the author used to wake up?

I mean it! I never realized that I woke up with back pain until I woke up from the first morning of sleeping on this bed with none! I was amazed. I fall asleep quicker than I ever have before... I sleep more sound than I ever have before... I don't catch myself waking up in the middle of the night like I used to on my spring mattress.The bed is firm enough that you don't sink into it and have a hard time getting out like I thought would happen, but instead you can't feel where your bones come into contact with the bed through your skin (like your hips and shoulders).Since I have a standard King/Queen frame I have to use my box spring from my old mattress to support the new Memory Foam mattress, but it works well. The only difference is that the bed gets a lot higher, and I, being 5'4, have to "jump" into bed now.Another thing that caught me off guard is how quiet the bed is. There's no squeaking anymore, if you shift by "hopping" your body around you don't hear a thing. It's amazing!Now if only this bed could make my boyfriend stop snoring...

Question: What was the product being reviewed?

I did not like this product. I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean.Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner.CONS:- very difficult to cut, especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend. At least look for something without the ridges and that is not so stiff!

Question: Are the Circulon pans steel?

These are beautiful. I love the professional look of steel cookware but wanted the convenience of Circulon's great nonstick interior. This is my second set of Circulon. My other set is over 4 years old and still looks new but has the hard anodized exterior, I plan on handing that down to a friend. I cook a lot and have company for dinner several times a month so I like showing these off. I have an induction cook top and you cannot beat the Circulon with stainless steel base for even cooking on induction. Of course it works on gas and electric too. By the way these are heavy mainly because of the wonderful stainless steel base, some people don't like that but I feel it's a sign of the quality and induction option.

Question: what kind of shoes fit under the rack?

Yep, I am another person going back for more. My husband saw how my shoes got organized and wants one, and he figured that two will fit in my closet and still leave room for my long hanging stuff.It looks very good in the closet, not quite handsome enough for us to use in our entry way.The shelves on this rack are level, which allows you to put a pair of flat sandals, flip-flops, or even flat dress shoes on the floor underneath. Not quite enough room to get tennis shoes under there.Just out of curiosity I tested the strength by starting to sit on it, and it felt like it would collapse or break before all my weight was on it. But it would stand up to holding stuff quite a bit heavier than shoes.

Question: How does the product feel?

I needed to buy a new mattress protector for my teen son's bed. He is hard on sheets and the old one was thread bare and looked like he slept on it most nights because the sheets manage to work themselves off during the night! Anyway, he doesn't like covers that make noise when he moves. We were both perfectly pleased that this cover is soft and not wrinkle sounding as you lay or move on it, it fits the huge double pillow top mattress and manages to stay on all four corners. I have great comfort that this will protect the mattress from his reckless sleeping body.

Question: How many times will you need to empty the collection canister?

Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell. All I can say is I was AMAZED at what this machine pulled out of my carpets. Now, granted the fact that my Kenmore died about a month ago and I have been just getting by with an old Hoover Canister; however, this thing would suck the kernels off an ear of corn. Fantastic power & relatively quiet for all it does. Yes, be prepared to empty the collection canister frequently, but just looking in it will give you an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It may also convince you that you are not going to make the cover of Good Housekeeping. Does a number on pet hair and my carpets almost look like they were shampooed. The Red/Green light is actually a cool gadget and pretty effective. I assume that my next pass around the house will not yield the same amount of dirt now that I am in "Green Light" status.Bottom-line: You cannot beat the quality & performance of this vacuum for this price.

Question: why does the pan tip over?

I ordered this saucepan because it looked decent enough to serve my purpose. The package arrived on time, but contained a return sticker. So I am not sure if this product was bought from a store and then shipped to me. Product-wise, this is an okay saucepan. Like many reviewers mentioned, the handle is very heavy. So the pan has a tendency to tip over when empty. It did not seem a problem when I have liquid in the pan though. The pan also gets stained very easily in my opinion. The main problem I have with this pan is that the base is really really small. Because of this incredibly small surface, most of the heat from the stove is wasted and it takes longer for the liquid to boil. I would not recommend this pan. you can find something better for similar or slightly higher price.
