Question: What can you expect from a Fridrich air purifier?

This is a top-of-the line air purifier that offers almost every feature you could need though you can also just put it into automatic mode and let it run constantly. The noise level is lower than every other purifier I've tested at this price point and is really barely noticeable most of the time. It's a small and sleek unit that is unobtrusive and can be placed behind furniture to keep out of the way. The whole unit is well made and feels substantial when you take it apart to clean the filter. The power cord can be hidden within the device and there's also a remote control though I found didn't modify the settings once it was installed. The performance, style and noise level are all what you would expect from a Friedrich and I couldn't be happier.

Question: Who does a more thorough cleaning job?

This Roomba was a dream when we first got it, and for about the first year. 3 years in, it still works, but it is louder and requires more thorough cleaning. My husband has taken it apart and cleaned the inside out more deeply than is possible by simply opening the clean-out trap and brushes. I should also mention that we have only used our Roomba on the first floor where we have only laminate wood and tile. We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. With 2 cats and a labrador retrieves who sheds like crazy, the Roomba keeps dust bunnies and pet fur at bay between weekly vacuuming.

Question: Which pan is heavier?

I wondered why the price was so low on these pans, as Anolon Advanced is ususally twice the price. I was replacing a 6 year old Anolon Advanced pan just like the 10" skillet in the package. My older pan weighs twice what the new one does, and I was replacing it because the non-stick coating was worn.This pan, although lighter weight, cooks well. It is still heavy enough to produce even heat with no burning. I expect that it won't last 6 years, being lighter than it's older version, but I am happy with the price and the quality.Essentially, you get two skillets for the price of one, and this is a good buy.

Question: what materials are the floors made of?

I bought this because I didn't want to get on my hands and knees and scrub floors..........no, the vacuum part does not work particularly well, but the cleaning and drying are nothing short of spectacular. I use the right detergent, I don't stint, and my results are impressive. I do six rooms and a hallway, all wood and tile, in about an hour. It fills the tank three times to get the job done. No back problems, no knee problems, and the little scrubbers do all the work. This jewel is about as heavy as a normal upright vacuum cleaner.....it takes maybe three minutes to thoroughly clean the tanks and filter when I'm done. Now my floors have that incredible squeaky clean feel for my bare feet.........I do my home once a month, with some manual touchups in the kitchen.

Question: What is the problem with the mats after washing?

After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat. Even after flat storage, these mats do not lose their cylindrical longing. Due to the curvature, using these mats is difficult for chopping items such as onions, herbs, or any lighter object that will slip off. I have to hold the mats flat with one hand ..making chopping almost impossible.

Question: What kind of knife had they been mincing garlic with before?

until i bought this, i was hand-mincing garlic with a santoku-style knife, and though i love putting garlic in my food, it was so time-consuming that i didnt really want to use minced garlic anymore :S then i remembered the garlic press my mom had while i was growing up, more rounded than this one and with a pivoting hammer, but this one works very well too. Self-cleaning seems kind of a misnomer? i still have to scrape it with a knife to get the bits of garlic out from the little holes. i also pre-peel my garlic so i'm not sure if this could have an effect? anyhow it's an inexpensive, very handy tool as i love to add garlic to almost everything :3 glad i bought it, though if it ever wears out i think i'll seek a slightly different design next time.

Question: The customer once used this type of rag?

i like using a steamer on hardwood floors as it really cleans them without using chemicals. i don't like using vinegar and water either as i think it leaves the floors looking dull. this steamer works, but there are better ones out there. i didn't like the way the pads attach to the steamer. you have to be careful when laundering. i wouldn't put them in the dryer because if they shrink, they are not going to fit. i have used other rags (diaper cloths) with the steamer, but if the material is too thin, i felt it didn't work as well. i prefer some of the newer designed shark steamers over this one. i like the shape and design of the pads better. you don't have to worry about them staying in place as with this one.

Question: how much does it cost to rent a chocolate fountain?

My husband really wanted a chocolate fountain at our wedding, it was one of the only things he had input on. I started looking at the rentals and was shocked that they were about $150 - $200 to rent. We were having a smaller wedding with only about 60 guests and I could not imagine spending that much on a chocolate fountain rental, so I started my quest and found the Wilton 3 Tier Chocolate Fountain.We cleaned it before the wedding, but didn't have a chance to try it out so the wedding day was the trial day. We heated the chocolate pieces and mixed in the oil and there it went we had our own chocolate fountain (I paid a couple college kids to keep the chocolate going as well as keep the other dishes on our buffet table full and they just used zip lock bags to melt the chocolate and mix in the oil). We have since used it several other times. My husband is in charge of cleaning it, he says you have to treat it kind of like a paint sprayer when you clean it and make sure that all of the parts get cleaned so that it doesn't clog up. With his method of cleaning we have had no problems and do a lot more chocolate fondue than we did before we had the fountain.I have since experimented with the fondue recipe a bit and use a mix of chocolate pieces, marshmallows and brandy then add a little oil if it is too thick. The trick is to make sure that the chocolate is not too thick and heavy for the pump that takes the chocolate to the top of the fountain.One more note, I have seen some of the fancy fountains at other events and in some buffets and I would say if you are looking to use this for a large (More than 75 people) gathering you probably need to go with something bigger, but for smaller groups this is a hit.

Question: What might result from throwing very hard objects in after a bag change?

Excellent product! Very efficient use of valuable space. The automatic lid works as promised (although I'm not sure if the manufacturer's representation about how long this product will last based on how many times the automatic lid will open on average in a given day makes a whole lot of sense; on average, my trash can's lid opens and closes dozens of times a day).The body of the can feels a bit thin, so throwing in a heavy item right after changing the bag may eventually cause dents in the can. A little gentle touch should go a very long way, however.Our household is extremely pleased with the product, and as long as the product lasts at least 2 years, it is well worth every penny.

Question: How many coffee making options are available with this coffeemaker?

I purchased this coffee maker after reviewing several others and I am very happy with my purchase. It is so handy and easy to use. Makes very good coffee from dozens of options available. Biggest chore was deciding which of the 18 samples provided best suited my tastes. Coffee pods cost more than bulk ground coffee, but are so much easier & no mess to clean up...plus so many flavors & varieties. By using the accessory filter, you can still use regular ground coffee if you wish. I bought it with the coffee maker, but after several months have still not found a need to use it...Buy this....you will like it.

Question: Are these items dishwasher safe?

I finally abandoned aluminum foil and both types of aluminum pie shields in favor of the silicone pie shield. I use my own pie pans and make my own crusts and the aluminum shields never fit quite right.Harold Imports Mrs. Anderson's 9-Inch Pie Shield,Progressive International Pie Crust ShieldsI bought two of the pie shields, and they worked perfectly on my 9" pie pans even with the decorative edge on the crust. I left them on through the entire baking time, and the edge of the crust turned out nicely browned all the way around. The shield becomes very hot in the oven so care should be taken when handling it.The shield provides ample protection for the crust without covering the pie filling, and they can be easily removed without worrying about damaging the edge of the crust. Unlike the aluminum shields, the silicon pie shield won't become dented or banged up after a few uses or storage mishaps. This pie shield costs just a tad bit more than the aluminum ones, but it is well worth the extra cents especially if you bake a lot of pies.The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees F.

Question: According to the reviewer, What is product sturdy enough to withstand?

It fills a need and does it effectively -- some place bedside to pile my junk. It was fairly easy to put together (a pair of pliers helped). I'm currently in an Assisted Living facility and I find it useful. I knocked a point off the rating because although very nice from a utilitarian viewpoint it isn't an elegant piece of furniture. (It's sturdy enough to withstand someone coming in and sitting on it.)

Question: what about the juicer ?

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

Question: What problem did the reviewer have with the second Copco cup they bought?

I love the Copco Cup. I've had mine for about two years now and I just ordered a second. They are sturdy and as a bonus can go straight in the microwave. The lid can be a little picky, but as an adult it's as simple as putting the lid down and screwing it on tight. A child might have an issue, but then again the hole in the lid would create a mess for children too. My other cups cannot go in the dishwasher which is super irritating, but this cup cleans up in a snap and does not hold on to smells from coffee, tea or cocoa.**Update: I've purchased another Copco Cup and I had horrible problems with it. The lid simply would not stay put. I contacted the company and they kindly sent me another cup at no charge. They were so nice! The only problem is the new cup doesn't work either. For some reason this specific cup does not seem to want to keep its lid closed. The older version works fine, but the newer version with the plastic ring in the lid doesn't work at all. I contacted Copco again and they were willing to either send me a different cup or refund my money. I opted for the refund and will be purchasing a different cup altogether.

<hl> The lid simply would not stay put <hl> .


Question: What is the problem with The Dorkfood with respect to temperature setting?

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

Question: How long do they want the mattress to last

We bought this cover for our mattresses at home. They work great. Our youngest has had many accidents on it and we just keep washing it. It has breathable sides which is really reassuring in case if any moisture is underneath for whatever reason we don't have to worry about puling the cover off and discovering a mildew.So that is why we bought this last bunch of covers for our ski house. When we are not using it, we are renting it out or lending it to friends / colleagues and we want the mattresses to last forever. Plus is it just more hygienic.

Answer: forever

Question: Wich disk is a nice edition to help the processor be a bit more helpful?

For a <$50 food processor this product is great! The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. The shredding/slicing disk is a nice addition and helps make the food processor a little more handy! Has handled veggies, chicken, and making pesto with ease and dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.

Question: What is the size of the reviewers family?

I love the fact that it is 100% PTFE and PFOA free (no heavy metals or chemicals). I also love how easy it was to clean. I don't use this pan overly much its a bit small and I have a large family so I only use it for prep cooking :) The food I cooked on it came out perfectly and I love the fact that the handle never gets hot. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review is because I did have some of my food stick to the pan so its not 100% non stick.Overall its a great pan at a great price and yes I would recommend.I was given the Green Earth Frying pan for the purpose of review.

Question: What does the autor use for cooking eggs?

I've used this egg timer many times and my eggs always turn out perfect. I'm surprised some say it has a plastic chemical smell to it. I've never had that problem. My brother-in-law made deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and his eggs were overcooked (green around the yolks) even though he followed a recipe for boiling eggs. This takes the guesswork out of it. I made a macaroni salad tonight and used this timer for my eggs. Once again, absolutely perfectly cooked yolks with no green tint. I would totally recommend. I'm buying one for my brother-in-law.

Question: What custom setting does this toaster have that this person likes?

This is the best toaster I have ever owned. It is well built ( as are all Breville products) is the most versatile I have ever owned and the settings are very accurate. The bagel setting and "A Little More" are settings that should have been on toasters years ago. The extra wide slots make toasting any size bread very easy as does the basket that adjusts as the bread lowers in to be toasted. Breville has thought of everything. I highly recommend this toaster.

Question: What was less expensive than the 1 4-cup glass or Pyrex model?

I needed a larger (4 cup) measuring cup in addition to my old 1 and 2-cup Pyrex cups, but this three-piece set was less expensive than 1 4-cup glass or Pyrex model. I really like the top view graduations on the inside of these cups, because I no longer have to kneel down to get an eye-level view of the measure. I tested the cups using water weighed on an accurate kitchen scale, and the measures were very close. The only question will be how well the plastic cup body stands up over time - I note that the directions warn against heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave.

Question: What are the bottles in the device free of?

I picked this water station up because I am tired of standing in line to get filtered water from my fridge. We have a big family and first thing in the morning you can count on a line up at the fridge, the kids filling their water bottles, me filling the carbonated water containers and the hubby mournfully waiting for someone to give him "cuts" so he can be properly caffeinated. With the Filtrete system I can just turn on the sink, fill the bottles, distribute the water and presto - we are all appropriately hydrated.A broad overview on this system:*You can filter as little as one bottle of water or up to 4.*The system comes with either a black or white base and four 16.9 fl oz bottles with brightly colored (leak-proof) caps.*The Bottles are BPA-free.*The Filter is good for 100 gallons of water.*The unit measures 11" high and is about 7 1/4" around, so counter top space might be an issue in smaller kitchens.*The colorful caps unscrew from the bottles but are not detachable.*Replacement filters run about $10 to $14 plus shipping.All in all, this is a good system for the family, easy to use, enough volume to meet everyone's needs in two fills and a decent size for our counter tops.Recommended.

Question: What was wasted after buying the sifter?

I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out. Now I see why it's up as a clearance item. Don't waste your money if you are buying it for its intended purpose. You might get by with doing a cup, but no way will it do more without shaking it and hitting it against your other hand. This one was a let down. I ended up ordering the hand cranking kind because I know they work pretty good.

Question: Where can the duvet clips be found?

I am pretty picky with these things, but this duvet insert is perfect for me. I usually kick off my blankets in the night and then wake up feezing in the early morning hours. That doesn't happen anymore with this duvet. It keeps enough heat in to keep me comfortably warm but not so much that I start feeling overheated and claustrophobic. So glad I got this. I used it for a few nights without the duvet cover since that had not arrived yet - I would not reccommend that as it will shed little white fuzzballs everywhere. Since getting it in the duvet cover, that has not been a problem. I recommend using this with the duvet clips available on Amazon to keep the devet aligned witht he cover. I bought the Royal Hotel 800 thread count king size duvet cover which fit perfectly with this king size insert.

Question: What product did they first use on the floors?

This is a great product! I use a Swiffer on my hard floors (tile and wood) once a week. However, the first time I used this, a day after using the Swiffer, the dirty water in the collection tank was black! The FloorMate made my hardwood floors look nice and shiny - better than I've seen them in a long time. On my tile, it cleaned a lot of dirt out of the grout; it didn't get it all, but it certainly made it easier to clean the little bit that was left. The unit does a nice job of sucking up all of the water/cleaning fluid from the floor; on the wood, it was completely dry after using, and on the more porous tile I have in my kitchen, it got most of it. Using the machine is simple - very similar to vacuuming, but you do have to go kind of slow to get all of the dirt. I've never used the previous generation of this machine, so I have no idea if this is a downgrade or not, but I have been impressed with it so far, and my floors are much cleaner than they have been since I've owned this house!

Question: What does not stain these containers?

I bought two different sets: theLock&Lock; BPA Free Airtight Container 36-Piece Set/18-Containers, Capacity 40.2 Cupsand thenLock&Lock; BPA Free Airtight Container 32-Piece Set/16-Containers, Capacity 96.2 Cups. These are fantastic. I have eaten leftover spagetti and other things that would utterly stain other containers, but these clean up like new. I tend to prepare lunches for work and use these on a daily basis. For leftovers these work great and things stay fresh longer with the airtight seal that you get. The rubber-like contact piece that gives the airtight seal is removable and cleanable. Putting the lids on and taking them off is pretty effortless. The pictures can be a little deceiving when it comes to the size of the containers, so be sure to look at the real physical dimensions. They also make Glass versions that are simliar in nature, but don't come in a big bundled package. I am so pleased with this purchase.Pros:*easily cleanable and maintainable*easy open and close lids*airtight seal*BPA Free*Microwave, freezer, and top rack dishwasher safeCons:*plastic feels thinner than others on the market*hinges feel like they could break easily, but haven't yet.

Question: What three brands of chocolate are mentioned as needing to be thinned out?

Purchased as a replacement for another unit of a different brand that stopped working. While the unit is well made and works perfectly, it's a bit large. It will take all of 4 lbs of chocolate to get this flowing properly and I suggest you have another couple of pounds on hand to replenish during a party. You can use any type of chocolate, but all chocolate will need to be melted first. Some regular chocolates, Hershey, Godiva, Ghirardelli and the like will need to be thinned out with vegetable oil. The Wilton Pro chocolate can be used without adding oil. I had to play with it a bit to get the perfect flow. Better to add oil slowly and in small increments. Too thin and it won't flow. Same for too thick. Clean up was a bit of a pain, but what do you expect. It's a great feature for any type of gathering. Be sure to have plenty of fruit, pretzels, cookies and other "stuff" to dip or your guests will be dipping their fingers!

Question: What size bedspread did the customer purchase?

Received this bedspread yesterday. The shipping was extremely fast. The bedspread looked just as described, only better. All the excellent reviews played a major role in my decision and I was not the least bit disappointed. It is a VERY NICE bedspread and there were no defects in the material at all. My husband liked it alot. He said it looked just like the quilts his grandmother used to make and she made alot! I love all the different patterns and colors, and it matches the curtains I already have perfect. The queen fit is just right for our high bed and does not drag on the floor. The quilts and comforters I have do not come down on the sides or at the foot of my bed and this one does, they are shorter than bedspreads, that is what is nice about this. TRULY HAPPY!

Question: What material is the product made of?

We've had these for 2 months now, and we always use the dishwasher to clean it. We haven't had any problems so far.The advantages of this mug are:1) Solidly built stainless steel - no worries about BPA.2) Dishwasher safe3) Spill proof lid.4) Insulation5) Wide mouth so you can fit ice cubes in.6) Sized to fit a car cup holder.The disadvantages:1) It only seems to keep water (refrigerated, no ice) cold for 1-2 hours.Thermos Stainless-Steel 22-Ounce Leak-Proof Hydration Bottlekeeps the watercold much longer.2) It is only "spill proof", not "leak proof" unlike the ThermosMy wife and I greatly prefer the Thermos for hiking, sports, and any outdoor activity. It is indestructible. We use the Bodum for both hot and cold beveragesin the car, at home, and at work. That means the Bodum gets much more use.

Question: What quality is this product?

My son LOVES these. I'm sure I'm breaking some rules of Motherhood somewhere, but he's three and Iet him use them. Thus far, he hasn't severed a finger off or anything. They ACTUALLY work, but without my worry about him bleeding profusely if I turn my back for a moment. I would still always use them supervised - especially with multiple kids around. Great product. BPA free. High quality. I'll be purchasing these for friends and their children. Great way to get the little ones involved in food prep! My son is MUCH more likely to eat the food if he helped prep it!

Question: What colors are they available in?

This design has been around since the 1930's and it's still a good one. We have lots of Fiesta, old and new. We use the Fiestaware every day, not the rare older pieces, but the new stuff. This little sugar and creamer on the tray is great for afternoon informal tea (that's when the hostess doesn't wear gloves). The capacity is rather small but just right for a small group. Since we don't have many people who will come to tea (they either don't like tea or us) this is perfect. Dishwasher and microwave safe, all the fiestaware is pretty durable. The little tray can also be used for other things too, canapes, bon bons, or feed two cats sides by side. Available in lots of colors, we have the salmon (that's really pink) set.

Question: What other peel besides Mario Batali and Epicurian did they try?

I have been experimenting with pizza making for a few years. I've gone through a few Pizza Peels in that time. I've tried the traditional wood, the one offered by Epicurian and this one. The wood one is too thick and although its tapered nicely to retrieve the pies it usually has a problem placing the pie on the Stone. The Epicurian peel was alot better but I still had difficulties transferring the pies to and from the stone. The Mario Batali Peel has no problems at all. Its strong enough to handle a fully loaded pie to and from a pizza stone. I particularly like the thinness and strength of the blade. Its easy to clean and can be taken apart for easy storage. What's not to like? It does what it should.

Question: How must one grip the jar sealer to get it to work?

I have only played with this product, but I can get it to vacuum and stay sealed. You just have to hold the jar sealer firmly on the jar. I did not use two lids, wash or heat the lid or jar. The first time I tried it it did not work and I thought I should have listened to the bad reviews, the second time I just held the sealer on the jar firmly and it sealed like it should. No problems. I am going to enjoy these. I have the wide mouthed one too and I believe they will pay for themselves in no time. A tip for both sealers. Take a push pin or thumb tack and poke a hole in your lid. Cover the hole with a piece of tape( I used a bit of duct tape) then seal your jar. When you get ready to unseal the jar just pull the tape back and let the air in. You don't have to pry the lid off. To reseal just fold the tape back over the hole.

Question: How do I feel about my wife hating the smell of smoke?

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 a negative of the powerful motor?

We drink a lot of juice and got the Juiceman to save a bit of money and also get a better-tasting juice.The motor is powerful - can get loud, too, but it's well worth it when you drink the results. We sometimes use the juice to make our own juice popsicles.A couple of small dings: It does take up a bit of counter real estate, and cleanup is not all that easy. But fortunately most of the parts are dishwasher safe.But it is fun to use, watching that bowlful of fruits or veggies being condensed into a taste drink. So if you want healthy juices and refreshing beverages (and even popsicles), give this powerful juicer a try.

Question: What was used in order for the needle to move?

I have had a Taylor 5932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now. Until I cracked (or think I did) the glass, it worked perfectly. Yes, it will age, discolour, and faded numbers become a little more difficult to read over time as it frequently subjected to high heat. ( I probably should take it out when broiling.)After I cracked (note the "I cracked") it has become unreliable, I have to tap it with a wooden spoon to get the needle to respond. After I noticed this, I took it out and noticed a fair amount of "debris" inside the instrument. I assume this is the cause of the "stickiness" of needle to respond.I have to give this product 5 stars, as I haven't exactly treated it well, but for 3 yrs it worked very well and baked goods & roasted foods came out perfectly after I calibrated my oven TO this thermometer, which it had not before. For $5-$6 can I really ask for any more than 3 good years of hard use and abuse of a product.I am today ordering a replacement one, so, yes, I recommend.

Question: What is the name of the product?

Most everyone loves a sweet treat and when the treat is made in your own oven, the freshness and flavor are often second to none. A good baking tool makes the process much simpler and this baking aid from Freshware is certainly one to consider buying. It helps create up to 30 shapely, delicious sweet treats from scratch, right in the comforts of home.Candy isn't usually baked in the home and part of the reason is the lack of appropriate baking molds. With this simple, silicone device, an individual can make candies that keep their form and look every bit as nice as they taste. With other baking sheets, the candy doesn't always hold itself together, but there is no problem with this Freshware mold. Each piece of candy pops out of the mold in perfect condition, like a work of art, ready to display on a plate and enjoy for dessert or a snack.This candy mold utilizes non- stick silicone and it is reasonably easy to clean. The flexibility makes it easy to pop the candies out of the molds without damage and that means less cleanup afterward. Other baking molds do not have a reliable non- stick surface like this one and not only does it lead to sloppy looking candies, it also means more scrubbing and scraping to remove the leftover bits of candy when cleaning. With this simple, inexpensive candy baking mold, there is little to do. A little warm water and minimal scrubbing/wiping and the job is complete.We usually prefer to buy candy already made but with this Freshware candy mold, creativity in the kitchen is more commonplace than before. Candy prepared with this baking mold looks and tastes great and for such a low price, you really cannot go wrong.

Question: If I have allergies, should I get this machine?

It has good suction ,seems functional but not an outstanding vacuum .You can't vacuum under furniture because the plastic container that you empty is to big.The cord does not stretch out straight enough so you have to contend with the cord curling .I find I have to empty the plastic container after each vacuuming ,and when you press the button to rewind the wire it sometime wont rewind all the way .It is quite powerful and I find a lot of the carpet fibers in the container,still for $104 it is a good buy .I had an older Panasonic with bags ,had to clean out the filter and make sure the bag wasn't full .It had started to shutdown because it overheated .I think vacuum cleaners have become a throwaway item ,no point fixing them at this price .4/21/2014An update the darn thing shut down .My wife empties it each time ,but as I took it apart I found it hopelessly clogged .I had to take the plastic enclosure down to my workbench to pull out this clear plastic insert which was jammed with fiber .After tapping with a hammer for 20 minutes it came apart spewing dust all over my clothes .I washed all the parts which come apart including the filter .I have come to the conclusion ,it is not worth the aggravation to try to save on bags .If you have allergies ,you don't want this machine .I am reducing the stars because all vacuums suck but this one sucks in other ways you might not appreciate.
