Question: why might a pet owner like this vacuum?

We bought this to clean our carpeted stairs with. It was just to much of a hassle to clean them with the attachments of our normal upright vacuum so we would basically end up cleaning the first few we could reach from the ground floor and the last few we could reach from the second floor but leaving the stairs in the middle dirty because we didn't want to drag the whole vacuum up and down the stairs.This little thing is perfect for stairs and cleans really well. It's also handy for getting pet hair off of couches and chairs and cleaning out the car at home.The only negative thing I could say about it is that it can be a little loud to use depending on the surrounding area. I don't normally consider it an issue but the stairs going down to our basement have dry wall on both sides of them so it's a pretty tight area and it gets noisy there. I've never thought it was loud anywhere else.

Question: What is my only real gripe

I bought this to melt down butters, solid oils, and beeswax for lotion-making.It works very well in melting things down, but it's better suited to smaller batches because of it's small size.My only real gripe is that it does not stand in place on it's own; if you don't have enough material inside to balance it out, it will fall over. For me this is a bit of a nuisance when I'm just starting to add things to it, because they may spill out of the container if I don't balance the handle on something else beforehand.Other than that, it works well.

Question: Which part of the egg cooks first?

If you like your poached eggs very undercooked, this might be okay for you. However I like my poached eggs on the medium to medium-well side (with the white totally cooked, and the yolk just starting to firm up at the edges). This cooker cannot do that. You put the eggs in the poaching tray, and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray). Impossible to get them evenly cooked. However, this turns out GREAT boiled eggs, much faster than I can make them in a pot. I was really looking forward to an easier method of poaching eggs, but looks like I'm back to my pot of water. :\

Question: What is the normal prices in the neighborhood for drinks that the blender can make?

This is a nice personal blender, and perfect for those who crave an iced coffee or smoothie drink. In my area, such drinks are around 2.99 to 3.99 each, so you can see the value of this unit- quite quickly!As others have mentioned, dont overload it with ice, and make SURE you have liquid in it. My parents ( seniors in their 70's) are rocking this -- the strawberry/banana smoothie in particular. Mom also likes the iced coffee, made strong!Clean up is a breeze, which I like, as well. I have used it to grate cheese, and make super-fast fresh salsa as well - most everything is done in seconds. Need chopped onions or celery? Maybe 10 seconds!I like mine, and have sent several to people as gifts. From the 1st year college student,to parents- you cant go wrong with this. The trick is to get them to USE it once, and see how easy it is to make a quick treat.This is a great keep-it-simple unit. It does not replace a big blender, or big-time ice-crusher. It is great for one or two people!

Question: How long have they have their machine?

I've had my original Panasonic Flash Xpress since 2003. I've been wanting to replace it because it was looking pretty bad due to the heavy use - but it still works great. I was so happy to find out they were finally selling this oven again! The price was kind of steep, so I waited. Finally they dropped it to $99 and I had a $10 coupon. I snapped it up. I can't say enough good things about it. It is great for our needs. I can see that it might be a little small for folks wanting to cook larger items - but it works great for our purposes. Makes wonderful baked potatoes, toast, bagels, waffles, fries, chicken nuggets, hash browns, great for roasting hot dogs or sausages, chicken breast, steak - really anything you want to try. It gets hot fast. No preheating. You will have to experiment with the temperature and time settings because it is not the same as a conventional oven or even a regular toaster oven. One note - the rack does not look like the one in the picture. It does not have the squiggly bars or the cross pieces, but only straight bars and no cross-pieces, just like the old one.

Question: how many rooms get cleaned?

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 happened with some other pans?

I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans. The pans are quite thick and sturdy and the non-stick coating is quite good. I have used a number of pans that have come from different manufacturers, and many times, the non-stick coating doesn't work as well as it should or starts peeling. The non-stick coating on these pans is quite excellent and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend these pans for all those mini jobs even if you don't use them in your countertop oven.

Question: What is the major problem with using Penguin humidifier?

We've been using this Penguin humidifier for about a year now. It works great, but it has one critical flaw: You can't open the tank up for a thorough cleaning.If you've ever used a humidifier for more than a few days, you know that algae and slime buid up pretty extensively on any surface the water comes into contact with. This is to be expected. However, the tank on this Penguin has only one small filling port that is much too small to get your hand through. So, ever week or so I can clean off all the accumulated slime and algae in the base and the outside surfaces of the thank, but the inside surfaces of the thank go uncleaned. It's pretty disgusting inside that tank after one year of not being cleaned.If I could do it over again, I would have picked a humidifier with a design that allows for cleaning of all surfaces.

Question: How was the meat when removed from the bag?

This came in very handy during a recent move. I used the large bag to carry frozen meat. I travelled for two hours and had to wait in a hot car for about twenty minutes. When I removed the meat from the bag, it was still mostly frozen. Only one end was beginning to thaw. For an ordinary shopping trip, this bag would be ideal for groceries. The only negative is that the construction could be better. After only one use, the zipper has broken. I really like the bag that folds into a small package. This came in handy for transporting some clean laundry. It's small size and the clip make it very easy to keep handy.

Question: How many have they purchased in the past year?

This is the third Hippo Digital scale I have purchased in the past year, one for me and two for presents for others. The one I bought for me is fine, but one that I gave as a present a few months ago, lost the plastic covering over the "window" and the last one I just bought came broken and will only show grams and not pounds/ounces like it should.One good scale out of three is not a good ratio to me, so although I would rate the one I got as a 5 star, I have to give the product only 1 star. It's disappointing and bothersome to buy two gifts when one starts to fall apart and the other is broken from day one. Now I have to go through the hassle of a return.

Question: Doing what thing makes the battery drain rapidly?

This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. I do not leave the unit on the charger..(I think this wears down the battery faster)and only charge it when it sounds like it is getting low...downside...it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

Question: what size pots don't work well with the steamer?

This is hard to review because it there are good points and bad points.The best thing about this is it is flexible. It fits nicely in a microwave.The worst thing is it is flimsy. I know that this is basically the same as the good point but there is a slight difference.When the pot or bowl that you are using for the water is the same size as the steamer, then it works great But if the pot is larger then you need to be careful because the walls may collapse.The other issue are the feet on the steamer. They are a bit short and if you do not want the food getting wet, then you are limited on the amount of water you can have in the pot.For me this is best suited for microwave use. My soup bowls are the perfect size and shape for this and therefore, it works perfectly.

Question: What material are the rings made out of?

These rings are just what I wanted as they help the English muffin dough to rise rather than spread out, giving them the desired thickness I was trying to achieve. The description says they are 3-3/4 inch diameter, which is correct when the outside of the ring is measured. However, the inside measurement is just slightly over 3-1/2 inches, so you'll get 3-1/2 inch muffins. The rings are sturdier than I had anticipated (based on some of the reviews saying they are flimsy). The metal is thicker than cookie cutters for sure. One star removed because the connecting joint on all of the rings is not smooth and will catch on your sponge or cloth when hand washing them. Other than that, I love 'em. My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these!

Question: What does this product monitor?

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

I put on perfume by it and the smell sensor goes way up and it cranks up, the dogs run by it and the particle indicator goes up and it turns on. you can also set it on manual but its cool. the thingi really liked about it is the rest all have like $100 a year in filters you have to buy and this has washable filters even for the hepa.I think it has helped a lot, i have 5 dogs inside and it has significantly improved the smell of my house


Question: How many times did she use the attachment?

If you are looking at this, you have probably bought a Miele vacuum cleaner like we did. Our house is about half tiles and the other half carpeted. We decided to purchase this attachment for use on the carpet. After several use, I have to say that I could do without it. The one that came with the vacuum cleaner is more than adequate for both tiles and carpet. I can not tell the difference between the two and it is too much of a hassle to stop and swap out. So if you are considering....save yourself some money and stick with the one that came with the unit; you are not missing out on anything.

Answer: several

Question: How much water does the product hold?

I bought this product to carry hot water to warm my baby's bottle while I'm out since portable bottle warmer options are pretty sad. I boil the water and fill it half way. Couple of hours later, I open the lid and it's still steaming hot and warms up his bottle way faster than the electric bottle warmer I have at home. It's slim and small enough to fit in the diaper bag. I was somehow thinking 16oz was bigger cause I wanted to use it for food after my boy grows out of bottles, but I am a big eater and this would only hold a snack portion for me. :) But it would be great for can of soup or chilli since it keeps things piping hot for hours. After about 5 hours though, water was only lukewarm.

Question: What did they buy?

This table is a little bigger than I expected! I like it for the area I bought it for, but I might move it because it is in fact a little too big for my taste for where I intended for it to go. I am going to keep it and do like it very much!

Question: How many grown children does the reviewer have?

My husband is the cook in our family and he loves rice so I bought this as a Christmas present. Oster is a great brand -- we own can openers and blenders by Oster -- and they certainly have done their work here.You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren! This cooker does all of that plus can let you slow-cook veggies as well.The thing that we like almost more is that it does come apart easily and cleans well! So many other rice cookers and similar devices if you do not clean the inner "bowl" right after you serve the rice, you see "shadows" of rice on the ceramic type material. This does NOT do that! It cleans easily and really looks brand new when cleaned. No big scrubbing or long soaking needed either.I recommend it!

Question: Which tools can be used to get same results than using the product of the review?

Pics on the chive made this out to be far cooler then what it really is. Honestly with a skillet and a toaster you can achieve similar if not superior results to this in the same amount of time. Made three sandwiches with it, one turned out fine, but the other two were just a mess. With practice I could see this working, but this is all that it is really good for and it doesn't do that job great. If I could send it back I would. As is its likely a donate to Goodwill item, or something that I just throw in a cabinet and forget about for a year or two till I see it online again and hopefully remember I already have one and hated it.

Question: What products are well made and have a storage case for the discs?

Like other OXO products I've used, this is well-made and the storage case for the pattern disks is a good idea to keep them from getting misplaced. And it looks like a fun way to make cute cookies, but you can't use just any recipe since a soft consistency of the dough is important to getting it to work properly. I have a favorite recipe for sugar cookies my mom has made since I was a kid but the dough is much too thick and better suited to old-fashioned cookie cutters. And the recipes included with the cookie press are very heavy on butter - 3 or 4 sticks for each batch! - which makes them taste more like shortbread cookies to me (not my favorite and more expensive to bake). The patterns are cute - although they make very small bite-sized cookies - but it doesn't work with just any recipe.

Question: What is the first issue that I noticed?

I finally got a chance to use this steamer and let me just say a few things first:It boils the water quicklyIts very well madeIts pretty user-friendly (just fill it up, plug it in and steam!)Those great things being said I did have some neutral things to say about it. I say neutral because I am a total newbie when it comes to steaming clothes, so I really have no idea if these issues are due to my technique, this steamer, or all steamers in general.The first issue is that I did notice a little spray every once in a while (only if I hold it within the recommended 1/2 inch though). This was solved by periodically wiping off the front of the steamer (being careful not to burn yourself) with a paper towel.The second issue is that I found it wouldn't straighten the clothing without me using my hand to smooth it out.As I said before, I didn't dock a star for those two issues because I have a feeling that the first is common in all steamers and the second problem is due to my technique (or lack there of).Bottom-Line:If you're short on space and don't feel like cramming an ironing board into your room, this will be a viable option. I wouldn't use it for expensive shirts that you'd wear to an expensive reception, but you'd probably get those dry cleaned anyways.Cheers! Hope it helps.

Question: Who else loves to use the product?

We found the Apple Peeler on sale at a home store and bought it on an impulse. My expectations were fairly low and I am happy to say that it performed way better than it looked like it was going to. The only real issue is with the very poor instructions, so some trial and error testing was needed.The keys to getting good results are:1) Use symmetrical Apples or Potatoes2) The firmer the better3) Take time align the Apple so the core can be cleanly removedSetting the contraption up is very easy. The base firmly attaches to most flat surfaces via a suction cup, which is nice because it can be positioned over our sink to catch the peels.We love how quickly this peels and cores a lot of apples! Our kids also got a kick out of using it, so that was a big plus as well.Recommended!

Question: What does the price reflect?

I am very excited to review this product. I am always in need of quality knives and scissors for the kitchen. I cook daily and enjoy making most items from scratch. That being said, there is nothing worse than reaching for a sharp, sturdy knife to cut through Squash only to have the knife wobble and not cut quickly or smoothly. This set is extremely sturdy, which for me is an absolute must. I wish the handles were heavier, but most knife sets now are made this way. The block is like all others of this type. Made well and looks great. This scissors so far work well, but only time will tell how long they will last. I don't typically have luck with scissors in the knife set. It is a small set, but the price reflects that. It is a great starter set for anyone who needs quality knives and is just setting up house or really never had a good knife set before. I like it and I like knives, so for me it is another useful accessory in my kitchen!

Question: What is done automatically?

My husband is always cold, even under plenty of covers. We've tried electric blankets - but the heat they produce is spotty and uncomfortable. Not to mention the wires, the unit clicking on and off, etc. This heated mattress pad uses very low voltage and you can't feel the wires. It's absolutely quiet. He loves it and is able to keep it on low. We also like the auto shut off, so we don't worry that it might get left on by mistake. The quality is unbelievable. Machine wash and dry. What could be better. Well worth the cost.

Question: What kind of batteries do you need?

After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. No regrets. Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. It's fun to see when your friends come over and watch their face as the trash can opens. I've had two grown men friends sitting there playing with the trash can. That in itself is reason enough to get it. Occasionally I walk by and it opens on its own but no big deal. I don't really use the on/off button or even the open/close button. Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen!!Another great purchase from amazon!!

Question: What material are the coasters made out of?

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: How many dogs do they have?

We have 5 long haired dogs and a completely carpeted lower floor. This vacuum has no option to stop the brush from spinning for doing hard floors, it's really only for carpet. The suction is pretty good, it got up a lot of hair, but the suction of the hose is terrible.The directions for putting it together are just horrible, we had to look at the picture on the box and figure it out ourselves.We have a Bissell Lift Off which I don't like the handle of, it's like a stick. This vacuum has a very nice handle.That said, this vacuum whines. It's a constant low whine. I could stand it but it's constant and the lower floor is big. We have had similar whines on older machines but this one is brand new. Also, the manual is not for this model. It's for another model of this machine.

Question: What is the user going to do to possibly fix the gritty issue?

I must say this is much faster, easier to use and provides for a quicker cleanup than my other method - which is using an old (clean) cotton t-shirt. I still prefer the way that almond milk turns out when strained through something that is more tightly woven - which captures all of the fiber.I just received this new nut milk bag a couple days ago, and was eager to give it a try. While it works good, it leaves the nut milk a bit too gritty for my taste.I'm making my almond milk in a Blendtec blender. Maybe I'm just running it too long, and grinding up the almonds too fine. I'll play around with the length of time, and blender speed settings...maybe I'll be able to make a nice smooth (not gritty) almond milk using this bag after all. I'll report back after a few tests.

Maybe I'm just running it too long, and grinding up the almonds too fine. <hl> I'll play around with the length of time, and blender speed settings ...maybe I'll be able to make a nice smooth (not gritty) almond milk using this bag after all. <hl> I'll report back after a few tests.

I must say this is much faster, easier to use and provides for a quicker cleanup than my other method - which is using an old (clean) cotton t-shirt. I still prefer the way that almond milk turns out when strained through something that is more tightly woven - which captures all of the fiber.I just received this new nut milk bag a couple days ago, and was eager to give it a try.

Question: The coffee that this product makes could best be described as being what?

I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. Our French Press is great but many mornings it's just one of us drinking and only one or two cups per day, so I bought this Kuerig product thinking it would be the answer. It is AN answer but the coffee it brews is not. I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak.If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. I reached up to the seal that would prevent the leakage and moved it down a bit but it still leaks.I could probably live with a little water leakage but not the sadly weak brew that results.I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) but this filter just doesn't do it.Perhaps there's too much filter screen and the water isn't allowed enough time in contact with the ground coffee. I've tried cutting the top bit off a K cup and placing it into the My K-cup, then dropping the provided filter in which seems to help, but not much.There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps.This item isn't worth it.

Question: When is it not too bad to clean up?

Finally, a way to cook a decent steak on an indoor stove. The grill ridges are deep so the steaks really get grilled instead of fried.This grill can handle two large steaks, like T-bones, at a time. When we want to make more than two, we cook the first batch to medium-rare or so, then move them to a regular iron skillet with some coarse salt in the bottom, while we make the second batch in the grill pan. The first batch goes to those who like their steaks well-done. Both skillets need to be good and hot!It's not too bad to clean up -- provided you keep it very well seasoned, and get the toothed Lodge Grill Pan Scraper 2-Pack (overpriced imo, but I would not want to tackle cleaning this skillet without it). The fingers in the scraper fit the grill ridges very well. If you add some hot water to the hot grill pan, and let it soak in a bit, the scraper will pull the gunk out.

Question: What is true about Heckels knife?

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

Question: What product did the person buy to clean their floors?

We have hardwoods which have been a task to clean. I had been user a spray bottle of water and a microfiber mop and then spotting the harder to get areas on my hands and knees with water. So you can see what I am not in love with cleaning my floors. I bought this mop because it said you could use it on hardwoods as well as tile. I used it first on a foreclosure house my brother bought and WOW...the tile was clean in super easy and super fast! It works wonders on my wood floors. No streaks and so light, even my 8 year old can use it. I like how easy it was to fill and change out the cleaning pad. The cleaning pad stays in place easily, unlike other mops I have used. I did purchase this product at a local Bed Bath and Beyond using a 20% coupon but they WILL take items back if they break and you have the receipt. For something like this, I wanted that assurance without having to fuss with a shipping return

Question: What texture is the surface of the items?

This is a very nice bamboo kitchen utensil set. The only complaint I have about the quality is that there is some roughness to the surface area of the utensils, and I almost gave myself a splinter when handling the cylinder, so I will dock it one star only, for lack of craftsmanship. But other than that, this is a very functional bamboo set.

Question: What is underneath the Terry Cloth layer?

I use towels above this protector and a 200 polartec blanket underneath it, right above the mattress for further protection. If there is a urine smell on the blanket then it gets washed too. The waterproof protector gets washed with the towels each time - we have 2 twin size protectors that we alternate. After about ten washes each, they seem to be holding up well. This system works for us. The Terry Cloth is a very thin layer above the waterproof layer. If you test the protector with water, the waterproof layer seems to be cold and damp. I do not know how this protector compares to the more expensive ones. Bottom line - with towels above and a blanket below this protector, the mattress stays protected. Not five stars because of the plastic type smell (probably caustic chemicals) - the smell is not noticeable when on the mattress. I guess virtually all waterproofing will have possibly toxic chemicals.

Question: How high is the ceilings in our department?

I bought 2 of these to help hang things higher up in our closets. In our apartment we have very high 12-14' ceilings and there are racks all the way up there. with these we are able to hang things higher and get much more space out of the closets. These are solid pieces with rounded hooks at the end. When I got the 2 they were both slightly bent and one of the hooks was bent. They are easy to bend back to the correct position so it wasn't really an issue. We keep them in the corner of the closet so they are out of the way until we need them.

Question: How is the taste?

The flavor you get from the popcorn is fabulous!! The cooking time is about the same as a microwave, and the clean up is pretty quick. I use olive oil for my popcorn. I used to spend $$$ at Trader Joe's on their version, but no more!! This popper is simple and fast. Plus....... You can customize your popcorn by type of oil, seasonings, etc. The popper lid snaps off for clean up. I usually wash mine, but a few times I have just wiped it out with a paper towel. I bought 2 more of these for Christmas gifts.

Question: what position reduces magnetic force?

These hooks are exactly as described; remarkably strong even upside down, excellent for hanging anything from a heavy plant from a metal beam on my patio to a seasonal wreath on my front door. A useful feature to be able to use with other threaded parts for some of those endless possibilities mentioned in the description.Very pleased I was able to order exactly the right size/weight rating due to the very detailed instructions that specify that the magnetic force is reduced by sideways application which is how I had planned to use one hook.Easily recommended!

Question: What did we buy extra?

We bought these because they were on sale, and it's hard to find black. At the start, they were suppossed to be temporary.Then we bought extra plates, because we'd fallen in love with them. Not only are they classy and match the decor, but these are tough. I'm a klutz, and these bowls bounce right off of the floor, nothing broken yet, and coming up to a year.My only complaint is the small size of the cups, and I about never use the saucers, but that's a matter of taste, and there are other sets available.

Question: What catches in the drawer?

This is just so much nicer than the plastic expandable tension rod. It was not hard to hang up but you need two people to install it for sure. Read the directions and measure measure measure!! The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 star is not REALLY a problem with the rod but my bathroom. It pushes the curtain further out from the tub - which it's supposed to. However my sink sits pretty close to my tub - it's tight quarters. So now the shower curtain catches in the drawer all the time and I really hate it. It's a minor inconvenience except for I bought a nice curtain that has now gotten all snagged up :( The directions about hanging the rod are very focused on getting you to put it up right over the ledge of the tub where a normal rod would mount - they never get you to check the clearance of anything else in the room.

Question: What kind of material is the trash can insert?

These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk. They're fingerprint proof and include 3 FREE BAGS for you to use. There's a plastic insert in the trash can to allow for easily hiding the trash bags and for holding the bags in place. If you'd prefer not to buy the Simple Human trash bags, you can use grocery store bags or if you're REALLY feeling adventurous, you could skip the bag and just wash the plastic insert after you throw out it's contents in a different room. (Ex. The kitchen as that one really should have a bag and be much larger)

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

My little girl got me this mug for Christmas and I really like it. For one, I'm a John Wayne fan, and this mug along with my 2012 John Wayne calendar help motivate me to work on my projects. The outside of the mug has a younger picture of Wyane from "The Searchers" and a picture of Wayne a bit older with "American Legend" between the pics in a desert type landscape and John Wayne's signature. On the inside edge of the cup, so you'll read it if holding the handle in your right hand, it says, "Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway." So true, and what a motivating quote.It's a large cup, 20 oz. (591 ml), and it is made of ceramic and is microwave and dishwater safe.Great coffe mug for all John Wayne fans!Reviewed by Alain Burrese, J.D., who drinks from this mug while working on his "Tough Guy Wisdom John Wayne" books.
