Question: How many parts are in this machine?

I received my Reconditioned Waring Juice Extractor today. So far, so good.I've wanted to have a juicer for a long time, but was discouraged becasue of the prices. This unit sells refubed for $25-$30 here on ebay. For that price, I had to order.Assembly takes about 30 seconds. I sliced up an apple and tossed in some celery and a pear. The motor sounds very powerful and went through everything I tossed in there quite quickly. Wow. Very good. I can see this is going to cost a lot in fresh fruits and veggies.Now, I wouldn't say mine is completely splash free, but only a few tiny drops at most escaped. The fiber/pulp that was left behind was moist, but not dripping wet. I'd give it an 87% for extraction.Clean up was easy. There are basically 6 parts to this thing. The metal cup, the spinning bit, the catching part, the lid, the plundger, and the motor/main unit. They all come apart for easy cleaning.The spinning bit's screen gets gunk clogging the holes, but that cleans easily with a sponge and the included brush. The catch, pludger, and lid are plastic and can go in the upper part of the dish washer. Or you can do it by hand in about a minute.Great deal thus far!

Question: Why is the "to the door delivery" ideal for this product?

After moving from a semi-arid environment to the opposite ,I was unhappy with the odor in a musty basement...even though the house is only a few years old , the climate is a challenge to enclosed areas. A neighbor recommended this product; I also researched other sites and am very pleased that Amazon carried the model I wanted. The "to the door delivery" was a great help considering it is a bit heavy for me to lift, probably would be no problem for someone a bit stronger. Turned it on full power and ran it for 4 hours before it was full , emptied container, then turned it on again for another 4 hours. I repeated this for 3 days. That procedure has reduced the musty odor to nearly zero. I now run it on low for an hour or two each day. So far, I have no complaints after 2 weeks of use. I would recommend it to anyone w/the same problem.

Question: What setting produces a warm bathroom?

Oh I like this one a lot for my small bathroom. Short on counter space? This is the solution. The description is wrong in that it states it is 600/1200 watts. It's actually 800/1200 watts but that's okay. The 800 watt setting nicely warms my bathroom if I turn it on about 1/2 hour before I go in there. It wouldn't do much good in a large room though. Relatively quiet too so it would fit nicely under a desk as well, at home or at work.Switching to 1200 watts does not increase the fan speed.Nice for the price. Nice for small spaces.

Question: What was their original issue with the bowls?

I had to return the first set of these bowls because I discovered hairline fractures in two of the bowls. In addition, there were many other flaws (such as bubbles in the glass) in all three of the bowls. I received a replacement set from Amazon within two days (it may even have the very next day after I filed the report online). I noticed hairline fractures in one of the replacement bowls that I had used only twice as I was taking it out of the dishwasher. These bowls are of such low quality they cannot even withstand a trip through a dishwasher despite AH's claim that they are dishwasher safe. This product does not deserve even a one star rating. Rather than return the bowls again, I am going to just take the loss but I am done with Anchor Hocking. I will not even consider buying another Anchor Hocking product again. On the other hand, I am very pleased with Amazon's performance on this and all of my other orders.

Question: What does the reviewer find to be frustrating about the product?

I received the item in time. And the material is super light weight, but strong. So for the most part, it was a cheap price and the material was decent. The feel of the sheet is comfortable as well.The only issue is that the elastic on the bottom sheet is not strong enough to stay on the bed. It keeps coming off. This is pretty annoying.Overall I'd expect to have some flaws as the price was very low. So I guess I should be happy that the material doesn't rip apart with ease or that it doesn't feel like sand paper.You get what you pay for. I'd say the price is appropriate for the product and not a bargain.

Question: What number of stars did the reviewer give?

Losing counter and storage space, needed a solution. Cart is right height to underside counter top and color to oak floor. Laid out unit by grain to build and GORIILA glued all mating/joint construction. You will have to really torque screws to bottom the heads for sturdy construction. Drawer stop can be positioned to miss items and bottom not as thick as cart sides bit glued in place makes it stronger. Leaf stops are different, but have successfully supported coffee makers, toaster and machines for months. Had misgivings about wheels, but all I hear is nice cart and great wheels. Assembled glued correctly it is 5 stars.

Question: What color is the author's mattress?

After reading the mixed reviews on the thin vs. thick dimension, I decided to take a chance and order these sheets. The sheets are on the thin side, but not too thin. They are perfect for summer sheets, easier to make my bed because they are light weight and take up less room/energy for washing and drying. Since my mattress top is a solid white color, there was no "see-through" issue for me to consider. The color is gorgeous. Truly a rich sky blue (more saturated color than the photo) that has a lot of aqua tones in it. The texture of the fabric is very soft. The sheets fit easily over my pillow-top mattress. And my thick "My Pillow" pillows fit nicely into the cases. Also, the pillow cases each have 2 rows of satin piping on the hem --- nice finishing touch.

Question: What might be the function of the fabric softener sheet?

owning a bar means i have likely the worst schedule for sleeping possible. consequently i smoke before going to bed so i can sleep. my wife hates the smell of smoke almost as much as i do but as its a necessary "evil" such is life. it isn't an issue when its warm but during the winter months here in colorado we often get so cold that the windows freeze shut. no more going outside to smoke this really does what its advertized to do. no noticeable odor and it just keeps on working. noted the tip from another reviewer who made mention of placing a fabric softner sheet over the mouth end, actually a half sheet will do just fine. in doing so you greatly increase how long the smoke buddy will last as the sheet catches a lot of heavier tars exhaled instead allowing them to muck up the insides ending its usefullness sooner rather than later, and it doesn't impede airflow one bit.

Question: What is the next step after sitting in the yogurt maker all night?

I love this yogurt maker! Since I am making greek yogurt - I don't make it in the jars. Instead I bought a 7-cup pyrex bowl that fits perfectly in this maker. I let the yogurt make all night in this and then strain for about 3 hours in the Euro 2-Qt Gree Yogurt Maker. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1.I eat yogurt every day so usually make a batch and half every weekend.

Question: Why should this be a 5 star product?

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

Question: How many hours later will it still have ice?

I guess I don't have to add much here considering all the excellent reviews on this bottle. Everyone has managed to say what I would have said. So I'll just reiterate on what is most important and that's quality. This is a very sturdy, solid feeling bottle which does everything as described in the ad. It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. I'm impressed and very, very pleased! Excellent product.

Question: When cutting the roll with a cutting aid, where should you cut first?

My husband got this for me as a gift and i just used it for the first time today. It was soooo simple to use. the step by step instructions make it foolproof. The first roll i made was a little loose because i didn't squeeze it tight enough but by the second roll it looked just like the rolls I get at a restaurant. It made it so simple to do! Another tip is when you are cutting the roll by using the cutting aid, cut the middle first, This seemed to help keep the roll tight. Ok i hope i helped someone out there, this would be a great gift for any sushi lover.

Question: Did Hoover reply to the author?

I read everything about this in the reviews before I made this purchase, When it arrived all the instructions were followed and we put it together. The next weekend, It was great..worked wonderful and I put all the attachments on for the steps. After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction. I got it back in but if this is going to keep happening I am going to return it. I did write an e mail to Hoover about it but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up.So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. I order on line because I cannot go pick up heavy items such as this nor take it to a shop to have it repaired..it shouldn't need any repairs for years in my opinion. I rely on products this large being Hassle free!

After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction. I got it back in but if this is going to keep happening I am going to return it. I did write an e mail to Hoover about it <hl> but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. <hl> It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up.So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. I order on line because I cannot go pick up heavy items such as this nor take it to a shop to have it repaired..it shouldn't need any repairs for years in my opinion. I rely on products this large being Hassle free!


Question: What is the reviewer advising to be very careful with?

These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.

Question: What cause the machine to make a horrible sound?

We had this model for two years and we both hated it after the first month of ownership.It makes a mess when you empty the container and you need to do more than just empty it. The filters and the turbine get filthy very fast.When upright and using the short hose it tips over easily.In its upright position it also can burn your carpet if your not careful.The "power" brush is powered by air suction and when it gets dirty the mechanisms get bogged down and stop working.It has to be cleaned all the time too.There was a clog deep inside the machine that made awful sounds. I could not get to it without taking apart the entire machine.I was very happy today when I put it in the dumpster.We now own a Hoover Wind Tunnel Air and love it.

Question: where does the writer live?

I rarely gush about an item-but this little machine is fantastic! I kept looking at them for about a year until I saw the remanufactured version on Amazon at a more reasonable price than I had seen elsewhere. First I was pleasantly surprised that they shipped me the "Pet" version of the Spot Bot. Is there a difference between the regular one and this one? I imagine just the color and the cool paw print sticker, but I dig it since they are the main reason for my purchase. I have 3 dogs and a cat. We live on a farm, so lets just say them hurling is an occurence that happens more often than not, and of course usually in the middle of the night when you least want to clean them up. My first test was a couple of stains set in the rugs when we bought the house-used the set in stain setting-and they were gone. Yes, it did leave the clean "crop circle" where the stain was, but I knew I needed to shampoo them anyway. Several nights later-you guessed it-at 4am Riley got ill. I cleaned up the "bulk" of I and just went back to bed trusting my new favorite helper would be successful in the morning. It was. The machine is loud, and the dogs hate the beep at the end of the cycle-but you won't regret the purchase!Does go through cleaner, but I don't care and you won't either...

Question: what appliance does the T-Fal act like?

The T-Fal ActiFry performed exactly as advertised, to my surprise. It acts as a lower temperature oven, as well as a fryer. I made a delicious stir fry and also french fries. The fries were far tastier than a baking sheet, and far easier and less greasy than a fryer. The stir fry was much less effort than tending to a wok and equally delicious.Pros: Easy delicious meals with less oil. Dishwasher safe.Cons: The "skillet" is very thin. The device is very large, and will take up a considerable amount of storage/counter space.Overall, the ActiFry is terrific. If you are a purist, this device is not the same as a fryer or a wok, and it may not work for you. However, if the ActiFry sounds like something you would like, you probably won't regret the purchase. I am glad I have it.

Question: Where do they live?

Oxo makes great tools for the kitchen, and we have a buch of them. They have lately branched out into the bathroom, to very good effect. This hanger has eliminated the weekly forest of wire hanger that use to appear in our bathroom when my wife washes her "delicates". By "delicates" I mean bras. OMG, they used to be all over the place, there simply wasn't enough space to hang them all (we live in a small apartment in the big city). Now there's plenty of room ,and it's well organized. The clips hold items securely, giving them just enough space to all dry at the same rate. The hinge in the middle is essential if you have one of those curved shower curtain rods (we do) and is also useful for folding the device for storage. As usual for Oxo, the drier is very well made and looks like it will last for years. I finally threw away the bunch of ugly hangers we kept around - good riddance. Highly recommended.

Question: What price factor was indicated about the silicone oven mitts?

I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. These mitts are okay. They are very good for being "grippy" of hot cookie sheets. The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven. The thumbs are a little stiffer than I am used to with the old fabric ones, and they stick out a little more. The mitts are kind of expensive too. I haven't tried to clean them yet, so I'm not sure how they stack up there.Definitely good and "grippy", if that is what you are looking for.

Question: Why would a beer lover like to drink from this glass?

I don't drink ale or beer very often (worse than ice cream for my weight) but when I do want to indulge as a treat or give a gift to a beer-lover, this is on the top of the list for a drinking glass. I always find ale and stout tastes better from a vessel shaped as this (and the etched star on the bottom allows bubbles to form on the micro-surfaces of the etching, and adds to the aroma and sensation.) It's also nice for Stella Artois (a lager), local crafted ales and Pils (Pilsner) if you can find a good one.

Question: What date was the 1st update given by the reviewer?

This carafe keeps coffee hot for several hours. The 8 hour claim is exaggerated; the liquid may still be warm but it will not be hot at 8 hours.

Question: What vaccum cleaner do I have before buying the Hoover one?

I also have a DC27 which is heavy and I don't really like as the connector hose between the power head and the vacuum keeps disconnecting and the extension hose is tight which is why I got this one. The Hoover is much lighter and has a longer & more flexible hose but to use the handheld part, you have to manually disconnect and then reconnect the hose. To get the long hose, you need to connect in the hose extension as well. The Dyson sucks from the power head when the handle is tilted (assuming the hose underneath hasn't come undone) and from the wand when locked upright which is superior when it works. For the price, the Hoover is a great deal but frankly I would have returned it if I hadn't already put all the packaging into the recycle bin.

Question: When did my DeLonghi espresso maker break?

I don't usually leave a review, but I always appreciate the reviews people leave. They are very helpful for my decision making of a product.I want to start out by saying, Amazon always gets my order to me very quickly. I received the Nespresso U C50 with Aeroccino Milk Frother today. I unpacked it, and made an espresso. The best espresso ever, I was only trying to duplicate a Starbucks Latte. In my opinion this was a great decision to finally buy this machine, it makes a better espresso than Starbucks. The machine is compact, and clean looking. It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago.The Nespresso is extremely quick and no clean up, amazing machine. I just wish now I would have purchased it long ago. Very happy with it at this point.

Question: How long is the power cord?

We have 3 dogs and I also foster dogs, plus 2 cats and 2 teenagers. I vacuum every day, because I have to. This is my second Hoover, and like the first, this one has excellent suction. In fact it's disturbing how much dirt and hair come up. Yuck.THE GOOD:+ Excellent suction as described above+ Height-adjustable+ Power cord - 25' long+ Bagless, which I like but not everybody does+ Hose doesn't kink+ On board tools so they don't get lost, and they do stay on.THE BAD:- Not "steerable" and pretty heavy- I hate how the hinged canister-lid opens. It swings open as the dirt pours out, invariably getting a lot of dirt on it. There must be a cleaner way.BOTTOM LINE:* Nothing fancy but really really strong suction that works on pet hair.

Question: What material was the writer's old juicer made of?

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

Answer: aluminum

I purchased this recently and decided to clear the frozen fruit out of my freezer that had been there awhile. I rinsed the strawberries off and threw them in. Out of a 6 lb. bag I managed to get 5 - 8 oz bottles of juice to can up for use in jelly later. Tried it with a bag of blueberries that had been in the freezer and got 2 - 8 oz. bottles of juice out of that.

Question: what does the husband do while sleeping?

I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores. He doesn't just snore a little bit, he SNORES LOUD. I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud.This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better.It is a great product.

Question: What was the problem the person described with other infusers?

After years of trying different typical metal infusers that didn't work that well for some of my herbs, I decided to give this one a shot. Oh, I am soooo glad I did! I've fallen head-over-heels in love with this infuser. No longer do I get "floaties" in my herbal teas, even when the herbs are very fine. I use rubbed sage, and in every infuser I tried before this one, the sage came through the holes. Not on this! I also have a very finely ground gourmet tea which would also go right through the typical screen (round). It doesn't go through this!The basket is large enough that I can make a whole teapot of tea, and I do. I bought a second one to use with my coffee. We use a very finely ground mail order coffee, and we don't really like making a whole pot because some of the coffee goes stale and gets that "burnt" taste and it seems a waste of good coffee. With this I can make a large mug and not waste a drop of coffee or even a tiny bit of grounds. It sure makes the expensive coffee go a lot farther. I would highly recommend this infuser to everyone!

Question: What kind of bag is this product?

Perhaps I should have read more carefully, but this is definitely a SHOULDER bad. The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag. But it is a fantastic design. The stretchy pouch is terrific! If folds up quickly and easily. I would give it five stars but ... it's the shoulder strap. I feel like I'm wearing a European Man Bag when I shop. Not what I want. I'll be regretfully returning them because of the shoulder strap. For those who want/like shoulder bags ... GO FOR IT ... it's terrific in design!

Question: How long did the authors first Joey last?

I'm on my second Joey after the first [yes, plastic] pump deteriorated, but that was after 3 and 1/2 years. That's not an especially laudable longevity, but I otherwise like the Joey so much that I got another one anyway. (The whole Joey: ridiculously, there's no Umbra replacement pump part. A substitution, however, could probably have been found.) Yes it's rather big - the base is 4" front-to-back and 3" side-to-side - but I could not find another dispenser that also holds the sponge, a convenience I now require. It does fit on the corner of the lip of my sink just fine. The pocket is only 1+3/4" deep (top-to-bottom) so regarding 'Grandma's' claim, I can't imagine how anyone could store a toothbrush and toothpaste and timer and floss in there: absolutely no way, as they would just fall over and out (except for the floss). But it holds one sponge or Dobie reasonably well. Don't expect any more than that. The dispenser holds a lot of soap/detergent, so you rarely have to refill it. I bought mine in white, through Amazon.

Question: What did they order?

I had read every review on all Mattress Toppers in the $25-$50 price range which Amazon carries (for full size mattresses) before ordering the Carpenter 5-Zone. I needed something to make a twenty-two year old mattress (which felt like a box of rocks) comfortable when I arrived with my sweetheart at my mother's house. Rather than sleep on the bed, I had been using a forty-year old sectional. But there was only room for one on it.When the two of us flew in from Wisconsin to Florida, we unpacked the box, unrolled the Topper, took it out of the packaging, and put it on the bed. (I did also order a new mattress pad) The Mattress Topper fit perfectly side to side and from end to end, unlike other products that I read about in other reviews. Also, there was no unusual smells, as noted in other products. Score two on the perfect scale for the Carpenter.Then we jumped on the bed. I rolled over on my back-it was as if I was on a large feather duvet. Soft, squishy and cushioning on every part of me-heavenly. A perfect ten in every way. It's been two months now and it's still keeping its comfort. Every night when I crawl into bed, I expect the lumps and feel instead the pillow-like softness. I highly recommend this for anyone who has any type of mattress and wants a bit of extra squishy-ness. I'm sure that it would do as well with just a fitted sheet; I used a mattress pad since my mattress is so old.

Question: What seems to last forever?

I am SO completely hooked on Lock & Lock containers. Fruit and veggies seem to last forever. I have stored strawberries for weeks without them molding or going bad. Leftovers stay fresh longer. Foods don't dry out or get moldy. I find way fewer "science experiments" in the back of the refrigerator! ;o) Pasta, rice, cereals, crackers and cookies just don't get stale. The containers don't stain and stack really well in the pantry or fridge. (For best results, don't forget to press hard on the center of the lid to create some vacuum before snapping the last lock closed.)

Question: What does the depth make the pot useful for?

I got this pot because I was tired of using 5 different dishes to make stock. With this pan, it couldn't be easier. Throw the insert in, put in all your goods and boil. When finished, you pull the insert out and run the stock through a fine mesh strainer and that's it. Yes, it's big; it holds 12 quarts so I kind of expected that. My range has a vent/hood above it that is lower than most of my friends, and this manages ok. I'd rather have the pan be deep than wide, as the depth makes it handy for lobsters as well.If I had an extra 400 bucks kicking around I might have gone with All Clad because I'm a snob but as it is, this does the job just fine and I wouldn't trade up now that I have it. It boils in a totally acceptable amount of time for the volume and is a cinch to clean up- I've had no discoloration like one reviewer complained of. My equally snobby cooking buddy borrows mine constantly and is currently waiting for her own to arrive.This pan has seriously lowered the barrier for making stock for me. No more "I don't feel like dealing with a million pans, dishes, strainers, etc" Love, love, love it and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Question: What is the other pillow good for?

I really like a latex pillow. It gives you fluff and won't quit on you. Only thing is my ear feels squeezed and irritated. BUT, I found a way around that. I cut a 7" round cup in thecenter of the pillow, about an 1-1 1/2 deep ( easy to do ) and put it back together.This gives my ear a little place to rest; without feeling squeezed and it supports, my head. Good night sleep. This will only work on memory foam or latex pillows. And you can always turn it over, to avoid the hole.I also ordered the 'high fluff' one, to try it out. But, I likethe high fluff one. More head support and it stays fluffed up.The other one is for people who like to lie their head flat, witha little fluff.

Question: What type of extension does the vacuum have?

The vacuum has excellent suction and the flip out extension reaches narrow spots like the space between the accelerator and transmission tunnel in my Civic. Weight is not a problem and as expected given the power. Good idea to empty filter if using more than 3-4 minutes at a time. The only potential problem I see is the so called "memory effect" where repeated charging following only partial discharging causes the battery to remember the smaller charge. It isn't clear to me that the automatic charger avoids this problem; that's the reason for 4 stars. I'd buy it again.

Question: What size is the pan?

I own this pan in the 8" and just love it. I was looking for a good quality egg pan and this is it! I use it everyday. All the teflon on my other pans eventually peeled up and I was afraid we were eating the product! I tried other types of pan, but my eggs always stuck. I went down to the outlet and found this pan. Yes, it was pricey but if I never have to buy another egg pan...I'm happy.The very first time I used it for my eggs, they did seem to stick a bit and I started to get discouraged...don't. The pan will season itself with each cooking. By just the third time of egg cooking... no sticking what so ever! The pan has a nice beefy weight feel to it without being heavy and looks beautiful. I could not be without this pan anymore. Le Creuset continues to make high quality products and you will not be disappointed with their non stick pans.Update: I did purchase the 12" too. Needed more room for cooking eggs for more than one person. Just as perfect as the 8" no sticking what so ever even with the first use on this pan. Definitely my favorite pans. You will not be disappointed if your looking for a superior non stick.

Question: How many years did their first pair last?

These mats are not fabulous, however they work really well for me. Just the right size, fairly thick plastic, and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. This is my second pair and the first pair lasted three years - they do lay directly on the sink so mold, betwee the flower petals, started to be a concern after three years, but, for the price, they are a nice quality. I didn't rate a 5, because they are not top of the line, but they are more than adequate. After all - three years!

This is my second pair and the first pair lasted <hl> three years <hl> - they do lay directly on the sink so mold, betwee the flower petals, started to be a concern after three years, but, for the price, they are a nice quality. I didn't rate a 5, because they are not top of the line, but they are more than adequate. After all - three years!
