Question: What material are the light-weight bags made from?

I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor. It is fairly well made, the spot welds on the end sections seem to be firm enough. The wheels are good and sturdy as well. I can move it easily from one area to another as I need to and the light-weight canvas bags are washable so that is also a plus. I am well pleased with this at this time.

Question: what is more difficult to use?

I have a very similar one, but it's about 20 years old. My friend loved mine, so I got her this one. She loves it. Like my 20 year old one, the numbers are quite clear and the lines are easy to see. And you know it's going to last unless you break it. I love the Pyrex ones the best because you can measure hot and cold items when necessary. And the clear glass is much easier to use than semi-clear plastic. I also think the glass is better for cleanliness. And it's big enough to measure up 2 cups of anything. It's a very useful item to have.

Question: Who is the manufacturer of the product?

I knew induction cooking was fast and safe, but this little cooktop is just amazing. All glass surface, accurate and powerful power, economic to operate, and the best of all, at Amazon is less than $100.00 dollars, with free shipping, and fast! Just by coincidence, all my stainless steel cookware was induction capable as well as some cast iron and enamel cast iron pieces that I had for a long time. With this Duxtop 1800 Watts cooktop (very powerful) one can cook faster everything, boil water for pasta or vegetables, sear a steak, cook bacon etc. No heat in the kitchen, like my gas stove, Florida where I live, is hot and the central air eats a lot of electricity, this cooktop uses less than 12 cents of electricity for hour, and does not heat my kitchen at all. Very happy with this purchase... Very good quality by Duxtop. Thank You Amazon.

Question: What can the bowl hold easily?

The bowl is large enough to hold a lot of lettuce, which is great, but I do wish sectioned parts for the toppings were a bit larger. It's hard to fit chicken or vegetables in them. The dressing cup is plenty big to hold a lot of dressing. The fork is pretty flimsy and doesn't really fit on the lid, so I don't use that part. The lid stays snapped on pretty nicely. Overall, great product.

Question: What was the reviewer's first problem with the iron?

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What does the ricer aim into the bowl?

I love this ricer. It is extremely sturdy and heavy for its size, and is just a very high-quality piece of equipment that can be used for all sorts of things -- soups, purees, spaetzle, squeezing moisture out of wilted greens, etc. I also love that it doesn't have holes on the sides. My last ricer had side holes and I was constantly squirting boiling hot potato bits all over my kitchen. This ricer really aims the riced items downward into the bowl, which I appreciate.

Question: What is something easy about the product?

This juicer is great, it is slow but efficient. You need to watch the videos on Youtube.com before you purchase to make sure this is what you want. It runs at a slower speed so you need to cut your vegetables smaller. Overall a great product, very easy to clean up makes using it a pleasure and not a pain.

Question: About how long can the pot go before it starts beeping?

This induction cooktop cuts down on boiling time about half from what it takes on my electric range. No complaints there. The problem for me with this cooktop is its incessant beeping. You take a pot off the surface from where it's been boiling to pour some water into your cup, and it beeps immediately until you put it back down. It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm" instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. Some days I move slowly, and get beeped/yelled at a lot by this cooktop. It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. I'd rather get a different induction cooktop that's a bit friendlier and doesn't beep at me so much.

Question: how many seconds does it take to blend a drink?

This thing is POWERFUL. Compared to my Waring Professional blender, this Oster blows it out of the water. Yes, it has one speed (plus a "pulse" function), but you only need one speed anyway. And it is so powerful that I have yet to find anything that hasn't been completely blended within seconds. Simply put in ingredients, flip the switch, and five seconds later you have a perfectly blended drink.Be forewarned - you will NOT be able to hold a conversation while this thing is blending. It's almost as if an airplane is taking off in your kitchen. But it's over in seconds, so it doesn't matter. I'd take this blender over any other ANY DAY!

Question: Did they return the vacuum?

Normally I like Eureka products but this one SUCKS - and I don't mean that in a good way. As for suction - there isn't any. At least not enough to pick up anything more than a hair or a miniscule crumb. If that! What a waste of money. I'd have sent it back but the shipping fee & my time and trouble (not to mention gas to go to the post office) were not worth the effort. My kids love playing with it - they think they are vacuuming with the real thing, like Mommy. My advice - use your regular vac (even tho it may be a pain to drag out) or a mop.

Question: How did the water taste according to the reviewer?

I've always wanted a home distillation unit. What I've usually found are pieced together units that belong in a garage. This unit is very well constructed, streamline designed distiller that will seamlessly fit in any over-gadgeted kitchen (like mine).Living in AZ, the water here is full of dissolved minerals. My first use of this unit was to START OFF with carbon filtered water. As described how this unit functions, about 5 hours later the unit completed its gallon cycle and turned itself off. After leaving sit for at least 1/2 hour (per safety instructions), allowing it to cool, what I discovered in the stainless steal pot was a film/sludge of concentrated mineral deposits that required a run through with the included anhydrous citric acid crystals to fully clean the gunk off of the stainless steal. Having already purchased 4 two liter glass pitchers, I emptied the distilled water into the pitchers and let it cool. AMAZING TASTING WATER!.This is easy to use, looks great, is well constructed and fits perfectly along side Vitamix's, Kitchen Aids, Cuisine Arts and other top notch appliances. I'm hooked! They recommend letting it run overnight. I do too. The fan makes a little noise, but is bare able.

Question: Does the writer want to get more of these trays?

Question: What kind of steel is used for the heavy cleaver?

Bought it primarily for use breaking down rabbits. I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo. It is a very heavy cleaver that appears to hold a great edge. The blade image is a bit misrepresented, it's carbon steel - so it will get dark. You can shine it up with steelwool if ya want it shiny. The carbon steel will hold a great edge and can easily be sharped. I'm not sure how I got by this long without one in my kitchen.

Question: what should you only grind sparingly?

Purchased it specifically to grind spices. At first trials with a variety of hard and soft, dry and wet spices, it functioned as expected; grinding cacao beans, pepper corns, granulated sugar, flax seeds and Ceylon sticks.It is a “blade” grinder and should be used very carefully and sparingly to grind hard nuts (Almonds, Nutmeg etc) as that would blunt the blades. It is not as efficient as a “burr” grinder for grinding coffee beans.It has three speeds. Best to use “Pulse” at first when grinding new material, to gauge the desired grind.The bowl is all one piece and cannot be disassembled, which makes it difficult to clean.Tends to overheat if used with hard nuts or continuously for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Question: How long has the autor owened the Lasko tower fan?

I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. I use it every day in the summer and spring. I've never had to change the batteries in the remote in all that time, and it works as well now as it did on the first day of use. The base had to be installed on the fan when it was taken out of its box. My husband did that and said it wasn't hard. I've used all the various settings on the fan, including oscillation, and it works quietly on all settings. I've used it in both my home office and in my bedroom, and I ended up keeping it in my my bedroom because its 40-inch height allows the air it blows to easily reach a person lying on a bed. Also, if I get cold in the middle of the night, the fan's remote allows me to turn off the fan without having to get up.In spite of its height, the fan is light and easy to move. It has an indented hand-hold at its top which makes it easy to pick up the fan and move it from room to room or store it in the garage during the winter.Based on my experience with this fan, I would be happy to purchase another one just like it if the need ever arose.

I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for <hl> nearly four years <hl> now. I use it every day in the summer and spring. I've never had to change the batteries in the remote in all that time, and it works as well now as it did on the first day of use. The base had to be installed on the fan when it was taken out of its box. My husband did that and said it wasn't hard. I've used all the various settings on the fan, including oscillation, and it works quietly on all settings. I've used it in both my home office and in my bedroom, and I ended up keeping it in my my bedroom because its 40-inch height allows the air it blows to easily reach a person lying on a bed. Also, if I get cold in the middle of the night, the fan's remote allows me to turn off the fan without having to get up.In spite of its height, the fan is light and easy to move. It has an indented hand-hold at its top which makes it easy to pick up the fan and move it from room to room or store it in the garage during the winter.Based on my experience with this fan, I would be happy to purchase another one just like it if the need ever arose.


Question: How much butter per batch is used for cookie press cookies?

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.

Answer: 3 or 4 sticks

Question: What material is the sheath made from?

Well, I was skeptical because the price was so low, but this is a real knife.Pros:+ Blade incredibly sharp+ Sheath is solid wood+ Sheath fits blade like a glove+ Knife is light weightCons:- Handle is slightly rough- Handle is not solid wood? (wood fibre?)- Super-light handle throws off balanceThe strong point of this knife is its blade. It's made in japan and razor sharp. This knife is at least 10x as sharp as any knives you would find at your local department store even if you paid double the price. The combination of sharpness and light weight makes this knife incredibly dangerous, and coincidentally, really effective at its intended function.So, in the end, even though this knife is not perfect, it has quality where it counts, and the price is amazing. It is easily five stars at this price, and would make a great little gift for someone who likes to snack on fruit or vegetables, as long as their dexterity is good =)

Question: What does the lid do once it is opened?

Our family of four has a variety of Thermos brand products. I like the quality of their products, they're made to last. We're still using the same Thermos bottle we bought for my daughter when she started Kindergarten five years ago. I like buying and using products from companies who make things that aren't disposable like so much of what is available these days.I love the color of this thermos and have the same color in the short stout 16 oz. version that we use for soups and stews and warm meals. This 24 oz. thermos is also really nice, though it is big. It's about ten and a half inches around, and thankfully fits in my car's cup holder.I really like that the lid is spring loaded so when you open it, it stays open and doesn't flop down while you are drinking and bash you on the nose. And the spring loaded lid has a button to flip open the top, which I think is nicer that some of the other lids we have on our drink bottles. Another other thing I like is that when you are drinking from it there are no guzzling noises. My husband has a lovely big thermos from LL Bean (another company that makes quality products) but when he drinks out of it it makes this hideous noise (like fingernails on a chalkboard).I continue to be pleased with the products we have that are made by Thermos.

Question: does the hamilton beach model work as well as their prior opener?

I've used "safety" style can openers for many years and I love the concept. Regular electric can openers seem like an outdated concept to me and I've no idea why people (nor the industry) don't clamor for more of these! I love being able to wash out my cans for recycling without fear of cutting my hands in the process!My last one was a Krups that worked well and lasted a very long time, but all good things must come to an end so when it came time to replace it, I found my only option was a hand-held (which I also have as a back-up) and this Hamilton Beach model. I bought this Hamilton Beach and though I guess I'd have to say it served its purpose in the beginning, it never seemed to work as flawlessly as my old openers.Problems:Occasionally it wouldn't "bite" onto the can, which left me wrestling with the can and the opener to get it to seat properly.Within a matter of months, the cutters went dull (my diagnosis). I found myself having to push up and hold the bottom of the can and let the can spin multiple times while it was cutting, otherwise, the lid would not remove from the can. In the last couple of months, I've had to follow-up with the hand-crank can opener to finish the job.I've been putting up with that for quite awhile and now, it seems that it's given up the ghost for good. Now when it spins, little sharp slivers are left behind: on my counter, on the can opener, on the can, and into my hand (hurting like little splinters) and I suspect they would have gotten into the food too, but... (fortunately in this case) the can never was opened.I've barely had ONE-YEAR of use from this can opener (14-months to be exact). Maybe that's acceptable for some people these days, but not for me. I expect my purchases to last longer.

Question: They were pleased with the machine, however not happy with who?

I am pleased with the coffee maker, but not with Mr. Coffee. I was surprised to learn that it came with ZERO filters. The description did not say any filters were included, so this was my bad. However, one would think that they would include a couple with the machine just so you could use it when you got it. Like I said this was my fault.I ran aboout 3 tanks of water through it, and left it open overnight (actually two days while I got filters) before making any coffee and there is no plastic taste or smell.I believe I will really like this machine.

Question: Does the mold need to sit overnight?

I have purchased Fred Cool Products in the past to make ice. When I saw that they had a mold for Shot Glasses I knew I would give it a try. Ok making ice is pretty basic but these tips I have learned the hard way. First I start out using bottled water and I pour nice and slow so the mold is even. Make sure that you pour evenly and that you have a flat spot in the freezer so they freeze evenly. I than wait 6 hours. I get a plastic bag out and put the tray over it than I gently hit the tray with hammer to help the shooters come out and than I catch them in the bag (I had lots fall out and end up on the floor before i started catching them in a bag.The glasses are a hit for all my friends but remember these are for shots not sipping. Pour a drink and do the shot unless you are using a chilled beverage your glass will start melting instantly. Also, remind your guests to disgard the glasses into the sink once they are done or once again you will have a mess. I have done glasses with coke and poured rum in, I have also kool-aid and poured vodka in. I encourage people to lick the glass and than do the shot.These glasses solve the problem of what to do for big parties and limited shot glasses just start a week ahead you can have as many glasses as you need. Everyone will talk about it and it really adds a sense of fun to your parties.

Question: What was just not worth the purchase?

The concept is great. However, these small blenders don't pack the necessary power for my type of use. I need something heavy duty. I have a Vitamix and am used to the power of this type of blender. I like to mix frozen berries into smoothies and this wasn't very good at doing this for me. So, this was a huge step down for me in terms of power. Since I purchased this item at Costco I was glad to not have to receive this item in the mail, only to have to pay for return shipping.I guess it's fine for very small jobs but it will not give you the power to do everything. I'll stick with a Vitamix.

Question: What is a significant feature of the oven?

Wow.... this oven is just what I wanted. We are a family of 3 and I can cook for the entire family in it. It's great for everything from Fries & Burgers to Cupcakes & Cookies. The Rotisserie is also a great feature..... makes awesome chicken.I think my old oven will only be used when I need to cook a turkey. Although a 6-7 pound turkey CAN be cooked in this oven.* I was a tad surprised that it didn't have an actual "toast" setting, but when I put it on bake for about 5 minutes, I get similar results. *

Question: The reviewers aunts has the more expensive version of what?

This is NOT the most expensive Keurig but the coffee, hot chocolate, etc. is just as good as the $300.00 brewer. Think about it. They all drip water through the K-Cup within 2 minutes so they all taste the same, not matter how much you paid for the brewer. I will always have my Hamilton Brew Station for my morning coffee but I use my Keurig at all times of the day for either decaf coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino, and my favorites, Cafe Express Mocha and Vanilla coffees. My aunt has the more expensive Keurig and I tried her brewer and it is NO BETTER than this one. I absolutely love my Keurig.

Question: What type of gaskets are replaced

These silicone gaskets will replace the rubber one which came with this espresso make. Within the first few uses, I can already sense the silicone gaskets perform better than the original gasket. It doesn't deform as the original or discolor. I used to spend time cleaning coffee fragments which become embedded in the original gasket. The heat range of the silicon gasket is clearly better and since it does not deform, it is easier to clean. Even if your original gasket is still viable, I would recommend replacing it just to reduce the effort of cleaning.

Question: What would they enjoy?

I bought these to assist with the stray pins that seem to jump out of the pin cushion onto the floor. My favorite use is as a assistant to medical magnets. If you are sensitive to magnetic therapy (not everyone is) it doesn't cost much to try them. I make lumbar pillows for those with back problems that do have positive responses to magnets. If it works for you great if not take some more Motrin and paste more pictures of the kids on the fridge. I like to use them as drawer liners in my desk to attract the paper clips and loose staples forever in the bottom of that drawer. I keep a strip in the medicine cabinet to hold the used razor blade I use to scrape paint and clean my glass top range when my cooking isn't quite up to par It is worth the trouble for me not to have to worry about little hands coming across them. Would enjoy hearing uses others have come up with for these. Buy a couple and let us all know. It is a hassle writing these but, I always check them before I buy anything and appreciate others that take that time

Question: Does the even cook evenly on both racks of the oven?

With just the two of us to cook for, a countertop oven is more energy efficient than heating up the a large oven just to bake two potatoes and roast a dozen spears of asparagus. And for the money, this one does the job. However, determining how long something will take to cook is a guessing game. The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350, using an oven thermometer. I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected. It says it will hold a 13-inch pan, but not if it has handles on it; 13 inches total is the maximum, so measure your pans. The picture shows two pizzas in the oven, but even with the convection on, the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top. I've never used the rotisserie, as it says it will take 4 hours to cook a chicken.

Answer: the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top.

Question: What is the purpose to buy these cloths?

Purchased these to use as cleaning cloths. When they get real dirty or stained, I'll throw them out. They're good for someone who uses a clean washcloth everyday. I would't use them a my main or guest wash cloths. They are soft.

Question: How many sets of these potholders does this person have?

I absolutely love these potholders!!!! I have four sets of them. They are great as potholders but they also have other uses. I place them under cutting boards to keep them from sliding on the counter when I am chopping. I also use them to keep bowls firmly on the counter if I am whipping cream. I also use them as trivets when placing hot pans on my counter top.My only caution regarding this product is that you need to be aware of the location of the hole in one corner of the potholder. I didn't pay attention one day and got a nasty burn pulling a very hot pan out of the oven. If you are a bit of a klutz, like me, best to keep 100% aloe in the house just in case you do what I did. Repeated applications of aloe took the burn out of the fingertip in a few hours. I was very fortunate. I hope this doesn't happen to you.I highly recommend this product.

Question: what do you need to do to lock the lid?

I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers. It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks, like the canisters) It is easy to use. I use it for left overs more than marinating. It does marinate well, and it's a good sized container. It's flaws are that it can't be used in the microwave and you really can't take it and go, to a party for instance. It also isn't stackable with other marinators (I have two) and it takes up a lot of space in your cabinet. I put the lid upside down in the marinator bottom and stack them that way. The lid doesn't lock without the vacuum sealing, so once it's opened it isn't good for transporting if you're away from home, or moving the liquid left overs from the BBQ back to the kitchen without the threat of spilling. I would like to be able to take it from the refrigerator to the microwave to heat up leftovers or to a party with snacks and have the lid snap back on when it's time to go home or...... Maybe the next generation?????

Question: How many coffeemakers were reviewed before buying this one?

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: How many did he buy?

I purchased two of these dredges to keep salt and pepper handy on my stovetop. I am very happy with that decision, and am planning to buy several more for sugar, seasoned salts, and other spices. This item is solid and well-manufactured; the tops screw on easily and fit snuggly. It is important to note that these dredges are made of POLISHED stainless steel and are shinier (and more attractive) that the photo suggests. I only gave this item four stars because Winware does not seem to make interchangeable tops with larger holes for their stainless steel dredges like they do for their plastic dredges. I would like to be able to use the stainless dredges for Splenda, dried parsley, etc.

Question: What happened when the author left the accessory lid loose?

If you love your Keurig because it's a great cup of coffee but not particularly partial to any one of the available k-cups then this is a money saving must-have. Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter.My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight. I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. And don't overfill it, for some reason it doesn't make as much coffee when the reusable filter is too full.I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine.Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!

Question: where does the heat travel?

Not only are these beautiful, well balanced, substantial without being too heavy, but they work wonderfully on our induction range PHS925STSS Profile 30" Slide-In Induction Range PreciseAir Convection System Warming Zone. I could not be more delighted. My particular set has tight fitting glass lids (this was not an Amazon purchase) which I prefer over the stainless lids.One of the pluses when it comes to using these on an induction stove-top is that they are constructed so that the heat will travel up the sides of the pans also, thus making your induction cooking even more efficient.Beauty, function, lifetime guarantee, and great price(here at Amazon).

Question: When should the delicate items like peas be added when making stews?

Nice looking. In hindsight, I'd choose to go with a larger model because you have to downsize most recipes to use it or you have more than will fit in the pot. I find that it takes longer than suggested cooking times ... 8 hours can turn out to be 10 plus hours. Early on, don't count on a new recipe to be ready at the alleged cooking time. However, I find most "long cooking" recipe times ,whether in a slow cooker or dutch oven, to be over optimistic. It may be my oven or the slow cooker but it's been my experience that when it comes to beef or lamb breaking down, it takes me a lot longer than them. I've found than for stews it helps to cut up potatoes and carrots and microwave them in a little water for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on size) before adding to the pot and for delicate items such as peas to add shortly before serving.

Answer: shortly before serving

Question: What was the mixer used for?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Question: What have I broken in the house?

No two ways about it, I am clumsy! I've broken every wine glass in the house. I tried some "nicer" plastic wine glasses, but they were not stable. My brother-in-law visited and recommended these. I love them!! I even ordered a second pair! They remind me of a chalice. These are very sturdy, they're not tipping over nor breaking, and they look great, these are not cheapy at all! Treat yourself to some peace of mind and enjoy how the stainless steel keeps the drink at the perfect temperature!

Question: It's a lot more what, than microwave popcorns?

I grew up with my mom making this for me as a snack after school. Not that I'm all "grown up" and moved out on my own, I still make all of my popcorn using this! It much healthier than the bagged microwave popcorns, all you need is a little veggie oil on the bottom and add the popcorn kernels and you're good to go! Makes the perfect popcorn in my opinion. This will save you a lot of money in the long run as well only having to buy the kernels, microwave popcorn bags can add up. I won't use anything else to make my popcorn snack, when friends come over they ask for me to make this because they love it so much! It makes a lot in one batch, so it's sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Question: What size cupcakes may you have to place in the holder?

My adult daughter hosts tea parties for her daughter, nieces, and other young relatives often. This Ferris wheel cupcake holder is adorable and quite the eye-catching serving piece set up on a table. I love that the wheel actually moves smoothly. We did have to place the smaller-sized cupcakes in the holder, but really, who needs those giant cupcakes anyway. It does require some minor assembly, and if you don't want to take it apart to re-box it, have some storage space planned for it. I think it is a wonderfully whimsical product that is worth the money.

Question: What's the most negative feature of this iron, according to the reviewer?

I've had this iron for well over a year and have found it to be a fine performer. Heats fast, lots of steam, not too heavy. The removable water chamber is not just a gimmick but helps in refilling the iron. One drawback is the very small capacity of the water tank. Looking a the design of the iron, there appears to be plenty of room to have made the tank larger.This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature.All-in-all, you won't go wrong with this iron unless you do A LOT or ironing...then you'll find yourself making lots of trips to the sink for a refill.
