Question: What might you cause for yourself if you don't remember to stir the base quickly?

We had one for years, gave it to a friend and bought a new one here. Still love the homemade ice cream, but do have to admit you get best results if you use it often enough to remember what works well. I think that's the problem the people are having who are complaining. For example, you do have to pour in the base quickly and start stirring quickly, or it may freeze in place. If you haven't used it for awhile, you forget about that and then you make a little hassle for yourself. And some recipes seem to become too cold for the full flavor to develop properly in the mouth. We haven't discovered the solution to that yet.

Question: In what shape did the coils run?

I have had this unit, purchased from Amazon for about a year. I have now had it with it.I was sooooo frustrated with the temperature settings: set it on simmer and it was like boiling. No way to effectively control the temperature of my cooking.To make matters worse, the uneven cooking forced me to constantly stir my dishes. When I put it on simmer, I could see a bubbling "U" in my dish where the coils ran around the unit, but nothing anywhere else.So one has no accurate temperature control, nor control over WHERE the heat is going, this unit is pretty bad. I expected more from Oster.

Question: Any problem with porcelain pan?

it is smaller than my pyrex 13x9 glass pan, but i love this white porcelain pan, i love the handles and the fact that it can be used for more than lasagna. love it for enchiladas, roasting meat, chicken and/or vegetables. haven't tried baking a cake in it, but bet it would do the job very well. it would probably be great for baked mac and cheese or any casserole. it is a top quality product and i'm glad i bought it. nothing has stained it. haven't had any problems cleaning it and i haven't had any problem with food sticking. i also like that it can go from oven to table....a good looking serving piece as well. what more could i ask of a pan that is so versatile and at a reasonable price?

Question: How long has the author had the pillows?

Only had them for a couple days so far but I am very picky when it comes to pillows - I tend to roll around a lot and sleep on side/back/stomach whatever I feel like at the moment. So I tend to have trouble finding pillows that work no matter which way I lay. These are really great though. They are super plushy but still have a great amount of support. And like down pillows, you can kind of mush them into whatever shape you want for support/comfort. 4 of these for the price is just a great deal.

Question: What type of self cleaning filter kept clogging?

This is by far the best vacuum I've owned! This vacuum is replacing the Hoover wind tunnel 2 bagless; one of the worst electrical devices I've ever owned. After its self-cleaning HEPA filter clogging and quit working for the fourth time, it went in the recycling bin and I immediately went and picked up the Hoover healthy home based on the reviews I read here.It's cleaning a second to none in its powered turbo brush actually works! Assembly is a snap and yes, emptying can be tricky, however if one removes the top it's not a problem. The little trapdoor is pretty useless unless it contains dirt and other heavy material but if it contains pet hair and carpet fibers forget about it. The brush motor is quite powerful and I really like the ability to turn the brush on and off with the push of a button. All of its onboard tools fit securely and are quite functional too.I've read that some people have complained about its lack of suction. The extension hose must be securely inserted into its holding socket. If not, there will be no or little suction at the brush head. Also clearing any clogs in a hose is quite easy as well.Honestly, I don't think you can get a better vacuum for the money; or for even more. I'll take this over the Dyson any day.

Question: What happened to the potato?

I love Microplane products but this one is terrible. It is difficult to grate cheese; had to apply a lot of pressure and as a result the cheese got warm in my hand and became soft and mushy. I also tired to slice potatoes on the microplane side and this is probably worse than the cheese grating side. The potato went through the blade fine but got stuck on the black plastic that hold the blade in place. If you're looking for that all in one item, this just isn't it. I returned it and splurged on the WMF grater.

Question: what was the issue with the old slow cooker?

I asked for this for my birthday and was so happy when I got it. I like to throw a roast with veggies in it before work and set it to cook for about 8 hours on low. It's so nice to come home to a complete meal and not have to worry about cooking after a long day. This slow cooker works perfectly, though I have not tried using the probe yet. If I had any complaints, it's that the clips for the lid get in the way a bit if you use pot holders to try and remove the crock while it's still hot, but it's not enough of a complaint to lower my rating.One complaint I had with my old slow cooker was that it ran very hot and overcooked food. This one doesn't seem to have the same problem. I can leave a roast cooking for 8-10 hours while I'm at work and it's perfectly tender, but retains some texture, the veggies I put under it are perfectly cooked, not mushy at all.

Question: What is a way that the travel mug keeps the beverage inside hot?

I had high hopes for this travel mug. It's well-insulated, stainless steel, and the lid appeared to seal very well. In fact, both Amazon and Thermos advertise the cup as being "spill-proof." It's also my favorite kind of lid, the kind that flips open. I like those because they're the easiest to clean well.Unfortunately, for some reason, Thermos decided not to make the flip part of the lid seal. It's just two pieces of plastic that fit loosely together - no rubber seal at all. So while the lid twists on and seals tightly, the part that you actually drink out of leaks like crazy. I suppose this cup is perfect for anyone who can guarantee that it will never tip over. But for those of you who do things like put it in your briefcase, toss it on the car seat next to you, or even just tilt it a bit while walking around, it's an awful travel mug.

Question: How durable is the product?

This cutlery organizer looks great, seems very durable, and I really like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers.It has 2 small shortcomings, however: 1) It slides around in my drawer, just like any organizer I've ever had. I would love to have an organizer that stays put. 2) The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment. It's not a huge problem, but it can get annoying.Despite these issues, I think this cutlery organizer is the best one I've ever owned and would definitely recommend it.

Question: how does the product get cleaned?

I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year, and it still looks brand new. The bristles have not bent or fallen out. It fits into the hand nicely, and is easy to use. The bristles are stiff enough to take care of business, but not so stiff that they rip up the skins on the vegetables. Because the bristles are not harsh, I also use the brush on my hands to clean off ground-in dirt or paint. Best of all, I can pop it into the dishwasher and restore it to germ-free cleanliness. I am very satisfied with this product.

Question: How can the grinders be used to grind directly onto your food?

We first tried these at a friend's dinner party, and immediately ordered a set as a gift and one for ourselves. You can grind the salt or pepper into the base, then measure it out (great for cooking), or take off the base and grind it right onto your meal. You can adjust the grind, too.Everyone who's tried them enjoys them. A great gift and a fun way to salt and pepper your food. (Another plus: there's really no flavor difference between fresh- and pre-ground salt, but this grinder prevents the potential problem of clumping salt in humid weather!)

Question: What online store did they buy the product at?

Not five star because it is difficult to steam the wrinkles out of some items as they hang loosely. For instance, it's hard to do long-sleeve blouses without holding out the sleeve, risking a steam burn. Also, the cord is short, and it is not easy to get things over the hanger part of the steamer without tangling the chord. It can be stored in a closet as two sections of the pole can be lowered to about two feet. Amazon's is priced about $20 less than in most stores; we bought our first Rowenta, same model and make, at a store in NYC for $100. Sometimes, a steamer beats ironing as it refreshes clothes you need to dry clean, however, don't bet on men's dress shirts or women's cotton shirts looking as well as when you iron them.

Question: where did the writer install the product?

Bought 2 of these. Love them. Very sturdy and easy to put together. I have one on each side of the closet - one for me and one for hubby. Have plenty of room for clothes and have them expanded out pretty far. I put the bars where recommended and our shirts (top bar) do hang over the pants on the bottom but it's really no big deal. As for the pants, they are fine and up off the floor when folded normally over the hanger. The price does seem to have gone up significantly since I bought mine, but these shelves are worth the money.

Answer: closet

Bought 2 of these. Love them. Very sturdy and easy to put together. <hl> I have one on each side of the closet - one for me and one for hubby. <hl> Have plenty of room for clothes and have them expanded out pretty far.

Question: Is the product working always well?

Works as intended...I wasn't sure I needed the bigger plate at the top (versus the original), but found out why it's a good thing...less mess lol. I made my own ground beef burgers with bacon...definitely good and you know whats in it. I have used it a few times and it's worked flawlessly each time.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

I tortured myself with research on which pressure cooker I should buy and the Fagor Duo came out on on near the top in many reviews. New to pressure cooking, but with it's expansive instruction and recipe booklets - I am very happy with this product. The quality construction and ease of use are exactly what I was looking for.I eat a plant-based diet, which means I cook a lot of rice, grains, beans and vegetables. Pinto beans in three easy minutes?? Thank you! Any blips so far have been a result of my own learning curve. If you're looking for a good stainless pressure cooker in a reasonable size, this is it!

Question: How would the person characterize the way in which the measuring cups were designed?

One of the better things about getting things from Vine is when manufacturers improve a flawed product and need reviews of the perfected version. Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups.As it happens, I had the older version of this cup in my kitchen cabinet (see photo), and while I didn't have quite the strong negative reaction those early reviewers had, the deficiencies of having a handle a 3 year old could curl out of shape were pretty obvious. Other improvements are a move from a cylindrical shape to one better aimed at digging, and a unibody design in favor of a separate handle spot welded to the cup.In general, a nice set of cups and a good improvement.

Question: What part of this item, used to fasten it to things, does this person wish was stronger?

Purchased a different cheap timer at Walmart. When the timer went off you almost had to hold it next to your ear to hear it, never mind being in the next room. Ordered this one. 1st one I rec'd had a defective display that was missing part of the numbers. As usual Amazon was great on the exchange. The new one works great. Like the fact that it also has hours on the timer and can be used as a stopwatch. Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. I find that inconvenient at times, if only for a few moments. Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet, depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall. Could be better designed or have a stronger magnet to keep it in place. Worth the price though, as it is pretty well made and works well.

Question: How much was the coupon the customer recieved?

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: What does the product handle well?

These are a happy addition to my kitchen. I like the bright colors. They handle the dishwasher just fine. The handles are sturdy enough not to bend when measuring brown sugar or other "heavy" ingredients. I recommend them.

Question: how many speeds does the Oster have?

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: What vegetable did the user try with this tool?

This is a very handy tool that I know I will use often, not one of those that will sit in the bottom of the drawer. It is very easy to use and clean. My only comment is that while it is called a Julienne peeler, what it produces are very fine shreds, finer than what I would call julienne. But it made quick work of a couple of carrots for salad and produced a size and texture that were much better to my taste than carrot slices and it's a whiz for cole slaw. I've only had it for a short while, but it seems to be very sturdy and I can imagine it holding up well over time. Recommended.

Question: What was wrong with the product during assembly?

I really like the look of the cart so it was what I ordered, regardless of the previous reviews stating it was difficult to assemble. They were right, it was difficult especially when there were parts missing and the holes did not line up. The person I hired to put it together said and it would have been impossible for a person who couldn't have thought outside the box. He got it together, but it took a lot of work, two trips to the store, and it required a drill. This was not in the instructions. But once it was done...I really like it!!

Question: What is the diameter of the dowels?

Yes! This queen size wooden rack is just right! I was short on space before this purchase. It has sturdy construction like my old one. My old wooden drying rack gave up the ghost after 20 years of service. This Queen is an upgrade from the old eleven rung model:1. More dowels, 15 total!2. Thicker dowels, half inch diameter for heavy duty.3. All the wooden dowels have a smooth, painted white coating that is easy to wipe clean. No mildew buildup.Ah! This is great for hanging up delicate lingerie. The top shelf makes a good sweater dryer for those "Dry Flat" items. It folds flat for convenient storage beside the washer. The same day it arrived, I hung two bathing suits on it. Worked very well! It comes fully assembled with two blue rubber bands attached to make it a little more "tight" in the upright vertical position. I cut them off because I don't need the extra resistance training. The rack works fine without them. (See update)Product made in the U.S.A. by Madison Mill (Nashville, Tennessee). "We manufacture all products from poplar and oak grown in our southern forests."Update 6/27/14: The white paint coating on the top five dowels is beginning to flake off. I use wooden clothespins.

Question: How long has the device been used for with no incident?

I love this little thing. It counts up, counts down, easy to use, easy to see and hear, sticks to my fridge, stands upright on a surface when you deploy the little stand in back, and very best of all just pops in your pocket. The latter feature is especially useful to me, as I will frequently have something going on the stove or in the oven but do not wish to be stuck within hearing distance of the stove's timer. This little device allows me to roam, even outside, confident that I won't forget something is cooking, and is handier than other portable alternatives.As for durability, I used it very frequently and without incident for 15 months. Then one day I accidentally bumped it with my shoulder while passing the fridge (I store the device on the fridge door) and the magnet failed to hold it and it fell around five feet to the kitchen floor. This knocked open the battery case door, dislodged the battery, and bent the spring that holds the battery in position. However, I easily repaired it and, bearing in mind we're not paying Rolex prices here, I considered the problem to be more the magnet is too weak to handle a careless passerby than the device is too flimsy to withstand smashing on the floor. You could of course just store the device in a safer position or place, but I elected to glue a neodymium magnet to the back to take care of it, and we've since been using the timer almost daily again without any problems.Given what I paid for it and the length of time I have now used it my ownership costis about to get below a penny a day. Given its utility and the frequency with which I use it I'd have to say that "for the money" this merits five stars, for me it has been a very useful item for little cost.

Question: What did the author say was on the inside of the scoop?

When they say solid stainless steel their not kidding. As far as scooping ice cream, it just works. I don't why it works so well but it does. This baby cuts through ice cream smoothly and effortlessly. It replaces one of those scoops with the liquid in the handle and the OXO scoop put that one to shame. I can honestly say this is the best ice cream scoop I've ever owned and I'm an old guy. It's solid and very, very strong you would need a 16 pound sledge hammer just to bend it. I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off. Aside from that minor thing this OXO ice cream xcoop is amazing.

Question: What was wrong with this scale?

Positives: Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent. Basically, it performs its core task well. What kept it from a 5-star rating? A couple of things, which I will point out simply because this is a $30 scale and others might like to know:1. We intended for this to be a countertop scale (not wall-mounted). However, we soon discovered a design flaw: When folded up, the bottom of the scale no longer sits flat due to the protrustion of the hinge. This could have been easily overcome had the designers envisioned that people might NOT actually want to mount it on the wall. This sort of defeats the "space saver" element of the name.2. Thermometer is 2-4 degrees off. Again, not a big deal, but since there is a thermometer on it, I figured this deserved mention.

Thermometer is 2-4 degrees off. Again, not a big deal, but since there is a thermometer on it, I figured this deserved mention.

Question: How long has this user been using the product?

Been using this product for 6-weeks. Works great, single hand operation is nice. Would recommend using rechargeable batteries or you'll be buying six AAAs every month. I use this primarily for seasoning meats before going on the grill.

Question: Where do I trim each clove before rolling it in the tube?

This item really works and simplifies removing skins from garlic cloves -- often a tedious job. I just trim the ends off of each clove and roll it around briefly in the tube. Amazingly it comes out skin free. When all the cloves are peeled cleanup is easy.

Question: How much are replacement filters for the air cleaner?

This small air cleaner is best for very small areas. It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes. It can also be mounted on a wall if you don't have a place for it to sit. Replacement filters are relatively expensive at $42.00. It's fairly quiet on low and has strong airflow. I think it's a too noisy and too small for the average bedroom. Permanent filter doesn't really mean permanent however. Permanent filters do become clogged over time and simply must be replaced. It's a decent little unit for very small areas.......recommended!!!!

Question: How is the reheating of the 24oz mug?

I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole. I can't say enough good things about it! It is wonderful for heating/storing a main dish or veggies for two. Don't let the photo fool you. I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. Leftovers travel easily (and spillproof) to work and then the dish goes into the dishwasher... What is not to love??? Best of all, I can bring it to the table and the simple clean lines are perfectly with my Portmeirion pattern. I plan to order a second to use instead of the disposable plastic ware. What a useful product at a very practical size and a great price!

Question: What is the product quality?

It fills many needs. As stated in the description it is heavy duty commercial grade. Not the usual cheap crap that is being thrown at us. You get what you pay for and this product is substantial.

Question: What part of this is hard to grasp due to being so straight?

I've had no problems using the bowl in the microwave (so far) except that it is hard to handle. Sides are straight up so it's hard to get a grasp on it. I have to use "super-grippy" potholders to pick this up. Looking through the reviews here, apparently I'm the only one who's had this concern - weirdly. Previously I'd remarked that vent tab doesn't stand away from the hole, but it does; you can even rotate it away.

Question: What percent is the mug spill-proof for?

I have to say I was leery at first at the spill-proof claims, based on life experience with travel cups, mugs and tumblers.However, this is absolutely that - 100% spill-proof. Great shape for gripping, fits in the cupholders and keeps my coffee hot for the drive in each morning.Did I mention it comes in enough colors to match anybody's tastes? My blue one is almost the same color as my 10th Anniversary Edition Miata so I am pleased there.The only possible improvement I would ask for is a larger size in the same design. 16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly. However, where is the fun in that? I loaded it up with a carbonated citrus soda on ice and demonstrated its failure to leak for my wife by inverting it several times. When I lifted the cup to my mouth and pressed the trigger, I got a virtual fountain of beverage propelled directly into my mouth. The laughter from my wife was worth the small cleanup effort required afterward. Seriously, non-carbonated drinks probably ARE better in the long run, unless you are trying for the comedy effect.

Question: How did the reviewer describe the cherry color?

I bought this to replace my tiny spatula which had cracked (you know the one you get in the set of three that's super small), and I realized that you always need a small spatula or scraper on hand to scrape out jars. After reviewed a billion reviews, I settled on this one because it seemed to have the force needed to scrape things out, it's small enough to get into narrow jars, and it is one-piece construction. This is great. You basically get two products for the price of one. Although it's rather tall, it has one end that is very narrow and can pretty much fit into any jar. This small head is more rigid so you'll have no problems scraping out a jar with it (other products' reviews noted that if the end is too flexible it can't scrape out a jar of peanut butter; with this one, you'll be fine). The other end is wider - so it won't necessarily fit in a small jar - but it is a nice more flexible type spatula which I find perfect for spreading things. It's also nice to have two ends clean because you can just flip it without having to wash another spatula or get your "project" messy from the first jar you scraped. The cherry is a pretty, very slightly hot pinkish red (some might not see any pink in there, but I do). The quality looks very nice. It is one piece construction so you don't have to worry about water getting between the handle and spatula head and not drying out properly. I would buy this again in a heartbeat and strongly recommend it.

Question: how much did this blender cost?

This thing does it all, ice crusher, smoothies, mixed drinks, pesto etc. Yeah it makes noise, it's a blender, the tech built into this works, the blades, the ribs in the vessel, the countdown timer. A friend's girlfriend bought a 450 dollar vitamix and all I would hear about was smoothie this and we grind up avocado seeds in them and blah blah blah. Then the first time I ever made a smoothie never mind with this machine his silence was damning when he finally said "you only paid 200 for that?"...

Question: What is the problem I  experiencing with the coffee maker?

When I first got this coffee maker I knew it had the features I was wanting. I had a problem with it shutting off before the water was all pumped through. I was just about ready to send it back when I went on line and read about when it does that to push the valve down in the bottom of the water tank. It did the trick and I couldn't be happier with this little gem! You might have some over flow out of the grounds basket if you use a fine grind. It seems to work better with regular store grinds allowing the water to flow through them faster and not cause back up. Having it's own filter and basket is nice and the filter hasn't stained.

Question: What vacuum brand did the author have numerous problems with?

I have several problems with my arms. It is extremely difficult for me to usean traditional upright vacuum/or a canister type style; where you have to pushand pull with your arms. I invested in an iRobot vacuum; which at first wasjust the ticket. Then it started having issues, EVERY single time I'd use it.And it was rather a pain to go through all the "steps", to try & find the problem.And it keeps beeping at you; and driving you NUTS !!So, for the price; I decided to try this VERY lightweight little upright.For me....it's the BEST EVER. My arm can handle the little bit of weight,and it had better suction than I ever thought it would. Now, I have only tile,and low pile carpet. So, for me this works excellent. I'm not sure itwould work as well on high pile carpet. I LOVE IT....and will buy another onewhen the time comes. Eureka has been a trusted name in vacuums for years !!

Question: What are the main qualities that the reviewer likes?

Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality.- catch holds the legs firmly.- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments.A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board. Could see $50 - 60.However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores.In other words a good piece of work but not quite up to my expectations based on the reviews. You won't be disappointed over the long haul, but the immediate impression is not quite as brilliant as you want it to be.

Question: What do they already own?

Look, the Cuisinart SS-300 Single Server Brewing System is great - if you are the only one using it. It is cumbersome if there is more than one person in your household. Simply put you have to add water each time you want a cup of coffee. I have the larger Cuisinart keurig product that has a larger water reservoir that allows you to make successive single cups without the hassle of having to fill it up each time. It works the same as its big brother in every respect as I can tell. Unfortunately there are more than one in my household. Consequently this product gets used when only one cup serving is desired. This is a great product otherwise.

Question: What household tool does it work better at cleaning?

It failed to remove harder stuck-on gunk (fruit residue, for example), but did well with minor spots (where milk spilled, for example). It's certainly more pleasant and less messy to use than a standard mop, though I'm not sure it's any more effective. It hasn't done any damage on wood flooring (yet) while on lowest setting, while still being effective at removing minor spots. It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord. It's also about 5x the price of a basic mop and bucket. It's not a bad product at all, but I wouldn't recommend spending the money on it or a similar product unless you have significant problems using standard mops.

Question: What eliminates the chance of a broken pot?

I have regularly used a French press to prepare coffee for many years, and this pot is the best of the lot. It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. Those who have not previously used a French press well may find that the fresh taste of the coffee leaves them wondering how they ever used a 'drip' or percolator pot. it operates easily, with none of the awkwardness I have found with other inexpensive presses.
