Question: Is it easy to clean?

Answer: IMPOSSIBLE to clean

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. <hl> 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. <hl> At least look for something without the ridges and that is not so stiff!

Question: What is the size of the scale?

I have only had this product a week, but so far I am happy. I bought it mostly for weighing meat portions when cooking dinner. My boyfriend and I are trying to follow better portion control for dinner. I find that this scale makes it easy to keep track of my calorie intake. I can weigh items and google how many calories are in that portion size. This product is also light and does not take up a lot of space. The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents. I am a happy customer and would recommend this product.

Question: What needs to be in it's proper position?

I had been hesitant to get a pressure cooker for many reasons (safety being one of them and we have an electric stove and not gas), but after reading the reviews on this one I took the chance. Granted, like any device, you have to understand how it works and its "quirks", but once you learn, it is worth it.Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great. A pot roast in 50 minutes that was tender and tasty. Corn on the cob in 4 minutes, you get the idea.I highly suggest this pressure cooker, but realize you have to make sure the seal is clean, the pressure relief valve is in its proper position (parallel to the handle with it pointing to right while looking at the front of the cooker) and you will have a successful experience with this cooker.

Question: What did I have

I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. The only hassle was sorting whites, colors and reds each laundry day. This sorter is fantastic! It is constructed of metal frame and the 3 bags are very good quality fabric. The wire rack on the bottom is great for keeping the bags from not drooping with the weight of clothing in them. This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier. PS.. the front wheels have locks on them so you can lock the cart in place and keep it from rolling away when using it. I highly recommend this sorter.

Question: What happened to the glue on the coasters?

Yes, they are very cheap, but if you use an over-sized glass very often, as we do, it won't fit in the coaster because of it's high rim. Also, the glue wears off of the cork pretty fast. This set of coasters ended up being pretty useless for us.

Question: What did they modify?

I tried these years ago and they work just great. You do have to be a little cautious when buying some of the off brands, but I have had no problem with these. There have been times, because of the frame and the size of the picture that I have had to modify the hook to bring the picture a little closer to the wall, but that's the worst I can say and even then, I continue to buy the product because it's so easy to use and so successful at holding the pictures in place without destroy the wall or having pictures fall.

Question: What was ordered?

I ordered these to complement16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set, I intended to use these a tea mugs. I liked the uniqueness of them but, when they arrived I realized that the handle is not well-balanced. The handle will accommodate a large hand but, the curve makes it awkward. The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. The dishes held up in the dishwasher, no chips or porcelain impurities noticed. The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle, it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it.

Question: What company makes the pressure cooker that is being reviewed?

Okay this is a bit pricey. It is worth it in my opinion. America's Test Kitchen highly recommends this pressure cooker. I have been working my way thru their Pressure Cooker Perfection Cookbook. This pressure cooker works excellently. Virtually every recipe I have attempted has turned out very well and quickly. If you need to simmer your dish after bringing the cooker down for pressure, the glass lid comes in handy. Some of the dishes I have cooked in this cooker, have left mild staining in the interior. I just use BarKeepers Friend and it restores the finish. I often use my parents Presto cooker when i am at their home and I have good results with that cooker as well. ATK recommends that you get to know your cooker and I am beginning to know this Fissler. I have absolutely no safety concerns when using this pressure cooker. Just make sure you follow the instructions. What a time saver!!!!

Question: What type of motor is offered with The Dirt Devil Turbo Canister Plus?

The Dirt Devil Turbo Plus Bagged Canister Vacuum was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review. Here's my take on it.This is a sleek-looking machine, a silvery color, lightweight with a carrying handle built in. There are several nice features: weight is one, onboard tool storage is another (all but two of the attachments store on the vacuum or on the wand). The hose snaps in to the canister easily and firmly so it won't loosen as you vacuum. Also, the wand telescopes so you need store only one wand piece. The On/OFF and retractable hose control can be foot operated, saving bending, however, I prefer to use my hand in case I might damage the plastic part. Also, it is suggested that you hold onto the cord as it retracts into the canister. Another nice feature is a variable suction-great for using the floor tool. A turbo tool provides extra agitation for carpet and seems to work well, however, I prefer using an upright for carpeting. I like the idea of using the turbo tool to pick up pet hair since this is something my upright with hose and attachment doesn't do well.The not quite so likable items: the floor brush is suction only, a plastic rectangle with short bristles all around the edge. (By increasing the suction, I was able to effectively clean dirt and debris from my tile floor, but the quality of the attachment seems moderate at best.) The hose is stiff and has a tendency to kink. Amazon does not currently carry the bags for this machine (bags, by the way, are small, so you'll want a good supply of them), however, they can be ordered from Dirt Devil on their website (part no. AD10035--this is for a 3-pack and until 10/12/11 there's a 20% off price and free shipping).The Dirt Devil Turbo Canister Plus has a 12 amp motor and comes with a two-year warranty (Note: stated warranty on Amazon site is two years, on bottom of canister states one year). At just under $130, it delivers a lot for a modest price.

Question: How does the product make the air smell?

I got a model very similar for about 10 bucks on clearence, and plugged it in, not expecting much. I placed it in the finished portion of my basement near the catbox. After 1 day, I noticed the air was a little fresher, crisper. It took that ammonia smell directly above the box away. After about a week, the whole basement was a little clearer. I noticed the difference the most after I unplugged it vacuuming one day and didn't plug it back in. The next morning the odor was creeping back. This is a relatively affordable item, does descent job for a small space. I have now had this for about 2 1/2 years, still working good with refills.

Question: What type of steel is the flatware made of?

I found this to be a very nice, fairly light set of flatware that's standard in design, enabling you mix them in with just about any existing silverware of dinnerware patterns you have.In the box you'll find four of the following: butter knives (aka dinner knife), dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons, and tea spoons, for a total of twenty pieces. Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle, terminating at the head of the utensil. Rachel's name appears on the blade of the butter knife and the backs of the other utensils. That may be an issue for some people, but I don't mind it.While each piece of flatware is made of stainless steel and claims dishwasher safe, after about the third or fourth washing, I found a noticable bend in three out of the four larger fork prongs. The middle prongs were bent slightly forward. These were run through the normal wash cycle each time; they weren't crowded in the silverware basket; nor did the other forks from mixed sets bend. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this.

Question: What will muffle the loud volume?

I needed a loud kitchen alarm that I can hear from another room. I liked that this model is capable of doing many hours too (which can be good for 24 hour fermenting on yogurt) or a several hours on a roast/turkey.The magnet on the back is robust enough to hold the heavy body weight up on the kitchen door or a metal panel. However, just be cautioned that using the magnet will muffle the loud volume somewhat. It is still very loud, but less loud when magnetized to the wall. I recommend if you need max volume use the stand on the back it projects the sound much better that way.I love this company. They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome. If you ever have issues with your product they are amazingly helpful.

Question: What isn't clear?

The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. Based on those 2 things alone I would have bought it and I am happy I did buy it. It cooks as well as any deep fryer should and it cleans and filters/stores oil as advertised. If it didn't have those 2 features I would not have bought it, though. There is one inexplicable design blunder that makes this machine frustrating: the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob. It cannot be seen from any reasonable height at any normal angle of view. This makes it frustrating because you are always waiting for that red light to go off before you start using it, but instead of being able to simply glance at it, you have view it from an extreme angle. I use this fryer on my stove top, which is the height you would expect it. I am 5' 6" and when you stand in front of it or even to the left or right, you cannot see any portion of the on/off light. I even stood up on a stool and looked, but the light is perfectly positioned to be completely blocked by the knob. It amazes me T-Fal could have approved this design.One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works. I couldn't figure out if I first wait 3 hours then turn the knob to "drain" or what. I ended up turning the knob to drain right after I used it and it turns out the fryer waits itself until the oil is cool enough (less than 3 hours), then it starts to drain.So, I'm keeping it for the cleaning/oil storage features but otherwise I would have liked a more viewable on/off light.

I ended up turning the knob to drain right after I used it and it turns out the fryer waits itself until the oil is cool enough (less than 3 hours), then it starts to drain. So, I'm keeping it for the cleaning/oil storage features but otherwise I would have liked a more viewable on/off light.

The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. Based on those 2 things alone I would have bought it and I am happy I did buy it. It cooks as well as any deep fryer should and it cleans and filters/stores oil as advertised. If it didn't have those 2 features I would not have bought it, though. There is one inexplicable design blunder that makes this machine frustrating: the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob. It cannot be seen from any reasonable height at any normal angle of view. This makes it frustrating because you are always waiting for that red light to go off before you start using it, but instead of being able to simply glance at it, you have view it from an extreme angle. I use this fryer on my stove top, which is the height you would expect it. I am 5' 6" and when you stand in front of it or even to the left or right, you cannot see any portion of the on/off light. I even stood up on a stool and looked, but the light is perfectly positioned to be completely blocked by the knob.

Question: In regards to the temperature of the wine, what didn't the customer find?

The item pictured is on a cork product is not on a slant. I didn't find that it kept wine chilled on its own. Im not sure how it would I had a normal sized wine bottle and the sides of the container were not even close to touching the sides on the bottle. But if you place ice in the bottom and a little water it becomes a makeshift ice bucket and that does the job. Using it this way I like it because you can see the label.

Question: What kitchen item was broken?

Perfect replacement after I broke the original decanter for my FT series coffeemaker. I almost didn't order this after reading the negative reviews about leaking, but I'm very glad I did. This decanter has a much cleaner pour that the one that came with my coffeemaker and doesn't leak at all. Maybe they have improved the design? Very pleased.UPDATE: I've had this for a couple of months now, and it has started to leak. Not just tons of liquid, but enough to make a nice puddle on the counter top. Come on, Mr Coffee, how hard could it be to make a coffee pot that works?? Changed my rating from 5 stars to 3, should've just bought a new coffee maker.

Question: Who am I?

I am an avid sewer, so I really have to have a good ironing board. This board is easy to shift to the desired height, so it can be used to iron standing up or if I am sitting. It is well made and attractive. It is well padded. It has an iron rest. It can be stored in a closet easily as it is not overly long. There is only one flaw that I have found in this product. It must be used on an even floor. If the floor is uneven, it can be wobbly. The legs have a white emamel finish, easy to keep clean and free from dust. I would have given five stars except for the need to place product on an even floor.

Question: what were they tired of washing every few days?

We bought this tablecloth because we got tired of washing the linen tablecloth every few days. This tablecloth is 70" in diameter which is perfect for our table at 48" diameter. You can google "tablecloth sizing" and do some research to determine what tablecloth size works for you. The tablecloth itself is good quality and the edges have a trim, so it looks ok, not just a plain piece of plastic. The way we have it setup, we have a table protector pad and then on top a linen tablecloth, and then finally this plastic tablecloth. So far it has saved our linen tablecloth from several incidents which would definitely require us to wash it. The only downside is that the plastic tablecloth slides easily, so we have to adjust the position after every meal to re-center it.

Question: How did they find a problem?

I have electronic stove. Its minimum bottom size for pot is 12cm (4.7 in). The bottome of this exactly matches this size.So ... good to cook.But in washing this item, I've found 1 problem. The gap linked to the top metal thing to glass thing is big enough forthe dishwasher detergent to get in. So I'm a little worried whenever I wash this pot.If a litte detergent is still left in lid, there would be a possibilty to take in the detergent before I use it.So I wash the lid just using water without detergent.I'd like this pot would be upgraded in that part in future.

Question: What product is the writer reviewing?

OK, I've been a Keurig fan for some time. I have a wide selection of coffees and teas on hand at all times, and my neighbors compare us to a coffee shop. I recently wore out my Cuisinart SS-700, so I opted for the Keurig B155 because it appears to be more capable and I truly liked the styling. Adding the ability to add this water connection was the best part!It took me just minutes to hook this unit up. I had a water line setup for my retired Bunn automatic, so it was a matter of installing this kit, attaching a water line adapter (sold separately,) attached the water line and I was ready to go.One thing to remember... it's important to completely unplug your brewer before attaching this unit. Simply using the power switch will not cause the brewer to recognize the direct connection.I would highly recommend this option to anyone... I'm so glad I'm no longer spilling water, dealing with internal filters or worrying about getting air into the system... based upon our level of usage, this was a great choice!

Question: What does the user say is pretty much the same?

the timer isn't a timer, it's merely a marker to remind you of how long you're planning on running the machine. the first time I used this, the yogurt turned out like runny, clotted soup. second time I used it, I added 1/3 cup dry millk to the milk while I was heating it. the yogurt turned out much better, but still not firm enough. one thing I don't like about this machine is that the bottom layer of yogurt turns out burnt. it's hard to get the container out of the machine when the yogurt is done. it's an ok machine, but it's not great. I suppose all yogurt makers are pretty much the same, just a heater.

Question: In terms of weight, how heavy is this product compared to the Hoover WindTunnel?

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: What happened to the topper a few hours after being unrolled?

When we received this, it was rolled up and felt hard as a rock. It took both my husband and I together to unroll it. It's really rolled tightly. Once we got it unrolled, we had to laugh. It was much smaller than the mattress and felt like a hard piece of plastic.. We both said, there's no way this thing is going to fit the bed or be soft.. But a few hours later, it had fluffed and stretched out, fit the bed perfectly and was very cushiony. It's very comfortable, has held up perfectly and we feel it was a great investment. We have a nearly new mattress that despite being a pillow top (and quite expensive to boot), was not very comfortable to sleep on.. This topper has made it much more comfy..

Question: What was the reviewer first using that took a lot of effort and work to clean the floors.?

I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon. In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking. I was previously using a rag mop which takes a lot of exertion and dreading on my part. This unit seems to pick up a lot of filth that mopping alone doesnt do as even when my floors looked clean the bin was filled with dirty water. If I could change some things I would have them lower the brushes a little, it doesn't always get the grout especiially the first time around, my solution for this is to spray cleaner onto the floor before to loosen up dirt and get everything wet before using the machine. I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. I would also love it if the unit could scrub and vacuum the liquid seperately instead of at the same time. If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then.

Question: Does the company reprint coupons?

I ordered this egg keeper, and love it! However a few days after the order I received a notice stating it would be delayed. Ok I can understand back orders, I accepted the back order, instead of trying to find it somewhere else.Eventually I did receive my product in fine condition, (It's a rubbermaid continer, pretty hard to damage). I also received a coupon in the box stating that I could get $5.00 off my next purchase. The coupon was valid "now through July 31 2005. Unfortunately I received my order in the middle of August. I called and left a message asking if I could get another coupon, no one returned my call. I called again and left a message no one returned my call. I called a third time and they told me that they did not reprint the coupons after they expired I could use the expired one. I tried and the website did not accept it.A little frustrated by the run around, I opted not to call back a fourth time to ask why the expired coupon was not accepted. If you can find this container some where else it's great, go for it!

Question: When will an alarm sound?

This faithful little egg cooker works great. We have used it many times in a week for years and it still works great.Simply put your eggs in the cooker holes- up to seven- add the right amount of water for the type egg you want- soft- medium- hard and plug it in. when it's done, an alarm will sound. Unplug it and you are ready to eat. We have found that if you leave the eggs in the cooker- unplugged- while you make your toast etc. the soft egg is perfect. If you take it out immediately the white is runny.I love the lack of clean-up. It is a great way to cook up eggs for guests.

Question: How long has the author had the older product?

I bought this at a big box store, which thankfully is not too far from my home, as it had to be returned before using it. Assembles quite easily- no tools needed except your hands & patience to get the front grill snapped on.However--no set screw to hold inner adjustable tubing (they call it the pedestal) in place.. kept sliding down despite being screwed in as tight as possible. Motor head fits on this tube, and once in place, tube slid down again. There is also a great big circle base- huge.After ascertaining that the sliding down pedestal was going to continue to do just that (it slides so far down the motor doesn't fit snugly onto the tube), back it went for a refund. Very frustrating waste of time.I have a small, older Vornado that is now over 15 years old, made in USA. It's still going strong. Hopefully the newer models are as well made, as I guess I'll have to get off twice as much money. But it will be worth it.

Assembles quite easily- no tools needed except your hands & patience to get the front grill snapped on.However--no set screw to hold inner adjustable tubing (they call it the pedestal) in place.. kept sliding down despite being screwed in as tight as possible. Motor head fits on this tube, and once in place, tube slid down again. There is also a great big circle base- huge.After ascertaining that the sliding down pedestal was going to continue to do just that (it slides so far down the motor doesn't fit snugly onto the tube), back it went for a refund. Very frustrating waste of time.I have a small, older Vornado that is now over <hl> 15 years old <hl>, made in USA. It's still going strong. Hopefully the newer models are as well made, as I guess I'll have to get off twice as much money. But it will be worth it.

Question: Where do I look for a replaement?

I've had this crock pot for several years now. The handle on the lid has broken off, but the crockpot itself still works like it did when it was brand new. The only problem with that is the that it cooks too hot. It seems to get hot spots sometimes, and almost always burns the top edges of my food. I have to stir it all the time even on low. Honestly, I have no idea why I haven't replaced this thing by now. That's actually why I am on Amazon now. Good Riddance Rival.

Answer: Amazon

That's actually why I am on Amazon now.

Question: How long did they own it before it started having issues?

This vacuum is lightweight and pulls up lots of dust and fuzz. The design is awkward to clean, though, requiring you to stick your fingers into the dust compartment to pull out the clumps, rather than letting them fall into the garbage can. About six weeks after I had it while vacuuming the house, the machine would no longer turn on. There was no overheated smell beforehand or any other indication of malfunction.The 30 days are past Amazon's warranty and although Eureka has a 1-year warranty, I have to drive 15 miles to the nearest service center. Multiply that by 4 for 60 miles and probably close to 2 hours of my time, it's not worth the $80 I spent on this vacuum.Eureka, please work on your reliability.

Question: How much would he pay for a machine that would hold three alcohols?

First things first – PLEASE make a machine that holds all three alcohols ! I would gladly pay $500.00 for that machine. My bother-in-law was having an open house party and was serving red or white wine only. We had recently purchased our machine but hadn’t had a chance to give it a full run so we volunteered to bring up our Drink Mixer . Because over 100 people had confirmed (75 showed up) and it takes about 30 sec. to flush out and change alcohols I elected to only use Tequila. And it’s a good thing I did that because I ended up serving over 60 Tequila dinks in less than 3 hours. People were lined up as many as 5 at a time. To be fair – it was in the 90s and the men outnumbered the women 2 to 1. It was so popular that one of the guests went on line via his iPhone and ordered two mechines, one machine for himself and the other for his Mother. I went through 1 gallon of OJ, 3-1.75 liters of Margaritas Mix 1 - l.75 liters of Cranberry Juice and 2-1.75 liters of Tequila. If this machine could mix all 3 alcohols without change over I’m sure that I would have served at least 30% more drinks.

Question: What important quality did the skillet lose?

have had this beautiful skillet for about a month now and at first food just slid off it amazingly well but even in such a short period of time it has lost its non-stick quality and now requires scraping when trying to remove food. all recommended care and use guidelines were followed so this shouldn't really have happened. its too bad too because this was my favorite pan when it arrived.

Question: What put a hole in the vacuum hose?

very nice and handy little vacuum, but boy, is it LOUDalso, there appears to be some air that comes out from the back end; so when I'm vacuuming, I notice the air from the back is so powerful as well that it blows away the stuff I'm trying to vacuum!be careful what you vacuum as well, I accidentally let it suck in a toothpick and next thing I know the toothpick came sticking out of the middle of the hose! I was afraid the thing would no longer work, so quickly hot-glued the hole caused by the toothpick and it appears fine for now....

Question: What material is the person trying to use less of?

I'm trying to cut plastics out of our lives, slowly but surely. I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals. This mug is metal completely except for the lid, so I'm compromising because the minimal contact with the plastic only while sipping is probably less dangerous than spilling boiling coffee on myself.Keeps my coffee very hot! Tight seal, no spills. I've even turned it upside down in my purse by accident when I was waking into work and no spill! My husband started borrowing my purple one because it keeps coffee so hot, so I got him a blue one and we're both happy now.

Question: How long does the carafe claim to hold hot for?

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. It's stainless inside so no worries about a glass liner breaking. I have not noticed any flavor taint because of the stainless liner.

Question: Who did the reviewer turn to for assistance?

Received this 1 hour ago and does not work in my house and had spent 200.00 for assistance to try to fit my windows, very disappointed that this has happen. Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit. Spent 200.00 trying, so before you buy this unit I hope you have windows that will fit the hoses.

Question: How long has the user owned this product?

This is comfortable - the kind of step-on-it-with-barefeet-and-notice comfortable.About the same time this was a lightning deal, I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store. It was nice. Then the GelPro came, and there actually was a large difference.It has been 2 weeks of using both in the kitchen,and I like the GelPro more. I am still debating if I like it the full it-costs-4-times-as-much more, but the very fact that I can't make up my mind (factoring in that cost) tells me how very good the GelPro is.It seems to be well made - I haven't found any flaws - and that ooohhh comfort I feel every time hasn't diminished. If I can still say so in 6 months, then I would have to say the higher cost was justified. If you can afford the difference, then get it.

Question: What was the complaint made about the MIU France Ceramic Nakiri Knife?

When this MIU France Ceramic Nakiri Knife first arrived I was impressed that it appeared to be well made and substantially heavier than my Kyocera ceramic knives. However, when I went to slice an onion with it I found that the blade was too thick to do so. This item is shaped like a cleaver and thick like a cleaver. it is about 2-3 times fatter than my Kyocera ceramic knives (black series). It is too thick to slice an onion the way I usually do. However, it is very good for slicing when you want it to separate or for dicing any time. For example, this ceramic cleaver knife is great for slicing carrots or cauliflower or green onion. It is perfect for cutting produce that I wonder if my thinner Kyocera ceramic knife will endure without chipping or breaking. There are no bolts or wood like in the Kyocera so this product should last longer in the handle area. I would purchase this again.

Question: How is it described?

This is one dandy can opener. After dealing with a couple of Chinese imports, I found this opener, bought it in a flash -- and the first time I used it, I remembered what a good hand can opener is. I had nearly forgotten. This opener CUTS through the metal easily and smoothly. It CUTS all the way around the can. It does not leave uncut areas, jagged edges, or little whiskers of metal that could fall into the food. It does not strain even my somewhat arthritic hands. In short, it does the job it's supposed to do, and does it easily and smoothly. All Hail a Decent, Made-in-the-USA Can Opener! I'm going to give them as Christmas presents to a couple of people. Seriously.

Question: What kind of straws does the author say these are bigger than?

I love that these reusable straws are made of silicone (vs. metal) It's perfect for me since I like to bite down on my straws while drinking.The diameter of these straws do run larger than traditional "fast food" straws, but not quite as large as "boba" straws. Otherwise, the size works great for softdrinks (just bite down to a convenient diameter), and smoothies.And it is convenient that they come apart for easy cleaning. Just wish a cleaning brush were still included with the price.Also wish these could be available in more neutral/toned down colors. Adults drink out of straws too.

Question: What did the person buy another infuser for?

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!
