Question: What kind of pan is it good to use with?

I have mixed feelings on this product because it has some very good aspects and one very irritating aspect.The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. I use this whisk for scrambled eggs every week and they come out perfectly each time. The whisk is aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and when put together it's just a twist of the base to open the whisk, or you can use it in the "flat mode" as well - it all depends on what you're cooking.It's also very easy to clean the product becomes it comes apart completely. You pull the base node out which unlocks all of the whisks and they can be removed and washed separately. Unfortunately, this is where the downside comes into play...putting it back together.There's only ONE way the base node fits back in, and if you get the whisk parts misaligned in even the slightest way it will not lock back into place without a bit of difficulty. In one case I had to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn the metal locking pin at the bottom so I could snap the base node back in. This one aspect has made me avoid taking the whisk apart to clean it - just toss it in the dishwasher or run under hot soapy water in the sink to clean up the brushes. And...unless you're submerging it in some stew or soup, you really do not need to take it completely apart to clean it.Overall I am mixed. It works well as a whisk or in "flat mode" but trying to put it back together after dismantling to clean...yeah not so much.

Question: How many cloves fit in the press?

This garlic press works just fine! I had typically bought and used minced garlic from a jar with more or less satisfactory results. I longed to buy and try fresh garlic cloves to see if it improved some of my great recipes that call for the spice.I liked that you could put in several of the cloves at once. The pressed garlic was easy to remove from the holes in the press and could be "shaken" into the mixing dish or onto the food I was preparing. Cleanup was easy! The only thing missing is a hole in the black handle in case you want to hang it inside a cupboard. I don't hang mine as I have a rotating utensil carousel, just letting people know that there is not one.Great bridal shower gift or a nice present for your favorite cook!

Question: What is the name of the brand of the tub stopper?

Leave it to OXO Good Grips to come up with this clever solution to an annoying problem.When the stopper to our bathtub drain finally bit the dust (with hard water hastening its demise), two trips to the home improvement store later and we still couldn't find a replacement that would fit the hole, despite measuring and remeasuring the diameter.By that point we were willing to settle for showers until we discovered the OXO Good Grips Tub Stopper, which relies on gravity and suction to simply fit flatly and snugly in any sized drain. And, when done, you simply pull it up by the flap, which has a little suction cup on the back, allowing it to be stored on the inside of the tub or on the tiles.Thank you, OXO, for extending your cleverness beyond the kitchen...

Question: How many speeds does the fan have?

I have used the big, round Honeywell purifiers for many years. This purifier looks so much nicer in my home & has such a small footprint. Comparing the two purifiers, the low, wide, round purifier & this tower, this is a lot quieter, easier & cheaper to keep the filters clean, & is a great fan. Using it as a fan is only a side benefit & not the reason I bought it. I only use it as a fan after taking a shower by moving it to the bathroom door & pointing it toward the shower to quickly dry it. You can easily choose to have it oscillate or remain stationary. Also there are 3 speeds. I keep it stationary & on high. As far as air quality, it is at least as good, but I think it is doing a better job. I can't be sure my body is not handling airborne contaminants better or that the air quality outside is not better, but when we have a burn pile outside, I have gotten quite sick before. Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside.

Question: what do they use to clean it?

I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

Question: Where did this user purchase a similar product for comparison?

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

Question: What quality does the reviewer believe the clips are?

These work really nicely for clamping bags of chips shut tightly. The magnets are convenient as these clamps stick right on the chalkboard door of my pantry. The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated. It's higher quality than it needs to be but I find that satisfying and typical of OXO products.

Question: What was "just what they wanted'?

This was a great skillet when new. The size, shape, weight and non-stick coating were just what I wanted. But after just a few months of casual use, the non-stick coating has begun to come off all along the upper edge. We don't use metal utensils or scouring pads nor have we ever run it through the dishwasher or tried to deep fry in the thing. Its just peeling off for no reason. I'm really disappointed for this being a Farberware product.

Question: The extra step that the user has to take is described as being what?

I read most of the reviews on this scale before I bought it. Have had it for about 3 weeks so far. Works great. Appears to be precise. Digits easy to read.I downrated to 4 stars for two reasons:1. Large bowls cover the readout. It they had made the scale slightly taller, and changed the angle of the readout to closer to vertical (as my old scale was), then no matter how large the bowl, the scale could be read.2. I prefer a separate on-off switch from the tare switch. This design requires the user to press the on/off/tare switch once to zero it, and then a second time to turn the scale off. An unnecessary extra step.

Question: After a few days, what size did the mattress expanded to?

This mattress was purchased as a spare place to sleep. I was surprised how heavy it is. The shipping weight is listed as 33 pounds but my twin mattress weighed 47 pounds. A lot heavier than my previous twin 10 inch mattress. I think the addition of latex foam adds a lot of weight. I would call it medium firm as it seems to have the traditional memory foam which is not very soft like the newer open cell memory foam. My mattress expanded to 7 inches by the 3rd day. If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress. It's difficult to move from room to room because of the weight and the lack of rigidity latex foam has. I slept on it 2 times and it was comfortable enough to use occasionally. When I need to replace it, I will go back to the 10 inch open cell mattress I had previously. It was more comfortable and easier to move.I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star based on the fact that the fire proof cover is made from fiberglass and I have read other mattress reviews stating that the fiberglass breaks down and works it's way through the top cover. It can get into your skin and lungs. I am considering tossing this mattress.

Question: What kind of enthusiast is this necessary for?

Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers, this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers. We don't often decant wine, and when we do, we usually consume the whole bottle in one evening. However, this stopper is perfect for those times when you can't finish the wine the same day. It is high quality glass, free of bubbles and defects. It is satisfyingly heavy and very good quality. Additionally, it fits both of our decanters (Spiegelau and Riedel) perfectly, giving us the chance to enjoy the wine in decent condition the next day. We are very pleased with it.

Question: what performed as advertsied?

The T-Fal ActiFry performed exactly as advertised, to my surprise. It acts as a lower temperature oven, as well as a fryer. I made a delicious stir fry and also french fries. The fries were far tastier than a baking sheet, and far easier and less greasy than a fryer. The stir fry was much less effort than tending to a wok and equally delicious.Pros: Easy delicious meals with less oil. Dishwasher safe.Cons: The "skillet" is very thin. The device is very large, and will take up a considerable amount of storage/counter space.Overall, the ActiFry is terrific. If you are a purist, this device is not the same as a fryer or a wok, and it may not work for you. However, if the ActiFry sounds like something you would like, you probably won't regret the purchase. I am glad I have it.

Question: What did the author want to make?

I bought this to use for making jam. I have never made preserves before and wanted something that would make it easier for me figure out how far to fill the jar from the top. This worked perfectly. The interior wide mouth funnel easily sits on a jar with no wobbling, while the exterior hangs outside of the jar. It also easily sits on a countertop (although I would recommend lifting it from the jar you just completed, directly onto the next one you are going to fill). I was able to pick this up at Wal-mart for about $5. Yes, the cheapy ones run about $1.50 but this is sturdier and more stable so the price differential was worth it to me. It is also dishwasher safe on the top rack.

Question: How much was the mixer in use 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: where do you load the salt shaker?

This salt shaker and pepper mill is just the right combination of form and function. The low price does not, in any way, result in an inferior product. The action of the pepper mill is smooth and the flakes are uniform; one thing to watch out for is the flow as the pepper comes out rather fast with just a small turn.Some reviews complained about the product appearing more black than brown. It certainly does appear more black than brown and the name "Espresso" implies this. They look precisely like the picture: a very dark brown.The salt shaker loads from the bottom; a rubber flange pushes into the hole to keep the salt in. This was a bit surprising but I don't expect it will be a real problem. Removing the screw from the top of the pepper mill frees the knob revealing a fairly small interior (about half a spice-size jar of pepper corns).

Question: Is this rack cheap or expensive?

Decided on buying this drying rack after reading some reviews about wooden racks. People complained that they broke, got mildew and were hard to assemble etc. Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. No assembly needed just take it out the box, set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. Construction is sturdy and durable. Easy clean up...I just used a damp cloth to wipe it down. When closed the drying rack takes up very little space and fits neatly back in the box.The item arrived as promised and in good condition. I've used it once and am quite pleased.

Question: Where does the author suggest decoration is needed?

I have other Butterfly Meadow items (bowls of different sizes), and they seem to be thinner, more delicate and more elegant than this dish. I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful -- but it is not as dainty as the bowls, and it's a disappointment.The other complaint I have is the same as I have with Butterfly Meadow plates (which is why I'm not buying them) -- the pretty pictures of flowers and butterflies are in the middle (in the bottom) so they get covered by food. It makes no sense. The designer wasn't thinking straight. For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table).

Question: What will last for years to come?

This is the best vacuum I've ever owned (and I've owned many).I have had it for over 5 months now and it is as good as the day I bought it. It is expensive, but from what I've heard from others who own it, it will last for years to come. Not an eyesore either. I keep it out most of the time, because it isn't an ugly looking machine, and it's handy to use whenever I need to. We had a rug that we were going to throw out because it was so old looking and our pets (2 cats and a dog) had shed on it for years. Needless to say, we ran the Dyson over it and we no longer wish to throw it away. It could do with a shampoo, but all the hair and dirt has been taken out after just using Dyson once on it. I used to vacuum this thing repeatedly with my other vacuums and it never felt clean. If you have the money to invest, do it!

Question: What do I want to do at home?

I've been served individual mini-loaves of warm bread in restaurants and wanted to do the same at home. This loaf pan works precisely as advertised and produced twelve perfect sourdough rolls shaped like a tiny loaf of bread. The instructions warn that the dough may stick and advise you to grease it the first time you use it; I didn't and had no sticking problems whatsoever. Also, it's floppy so you will need to put it on top of a cookie sheet which will help brown the bottom of the bread.Here's the recipe I used. I usually bake my sourdough hotter than this, but the instructions say that 446 degrees is as hot as it should go so I baked at 450. It's a simple sweet-and-sour bread that would probably work fine without the starter, or you could try adding a bit of lemon juice or using buttermilk in place of some of the water.Honey Sourdough Rolls75 g (approximately 1/3 cup) stiff sourdough starter375 g (3/4 c minus 1/2 t) lukewarm water500 g all purpose flour (about 4 cups)2 T honey1 t salt t yeastMethod: Mix starter and water thoroughly; stir in flour; allow to rest (autolyse) 30-60 minutes. Evenly distribute honey, salt and yeast over the top of the dough and mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon or dough scraper. Allow to proof at room temperature 2 hours; the mixture will rise somewhat and become more liquid and bubbly. Spoon equal portions into mini-loaf mold and rise 60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven with a cookie sheet inside to 450 degrees. Place the mini-loaf mold on top of preheated cookie sheet and bake 25-35 minutes until tops are well browned. Serve warm.

Question: what size box does this product come in?

This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together. You need a reasonable size workspace to assemble it, and if you have a couple decks of cards or thin books it helps because the base is deeper than the unit as a whole. It went together quickly. The only thing that's a bit quirky is that if you're using it just to store CDs, the vertical openings aren't uniform. If you use it with more flexible opening for other things, you won't notice it.

Question: Does the Swiss Diamond pan have straight sides?

Swiss Diamond is my very favorite cookware. I would have the whole collection if I could afford it. I bought this saucepan to replace a different brand the same size, 2.5 qts. I was disappointed to find that the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location on my Corning stove top. I could use it, even though there is a good amount of "red" showing around the pan bottom when the heating element is turned on, but this is not recommended by the stove manufacturer. I guess it didn't click in when I saw the photo, that the sides were slanted instead of straight like my older pan. I can still use this in the oven, as they work great for that, but may just end up giving it to a relative with appropriate size stove burners.

Question: From how far was the vac picking up stuff?

It's a little larger than a standard hand vac, but I was looking for something with power because I'm not the best housekeeper. This is it. It picks up everything. The exhaust, a source of concern on some reviews, is strong, but it's on the back. As long as you start at the back of the room or the bottom of the stairs, you're blowing on a clean surface so it doesn't matter. It's so strong I had to hold it above my stairs because the suction was making it stick to the wood. But held a couple inches above it was picking everything up. I only had this "problem" on the stairs. I left my regular vac downstairs and did my bathroom with this too because it was easier.A total keeper.

Question: What type of construction is the pan made of?

These are really nice non-stick pans. They are very attractive as well. I got the blue speckle and I think that is probably the most attractive color choice.Construction is really sturdy and they are suitable for whatever stove top surface you have according to the packaging. I don't think they are dishwasher safe though, as I saw nothing about that in the literature that came with the pans or online. If they were dishwasher safe I am almost certain they'd tout that.There isn't much more to say other than they work just like a frying pan should.The smaller pan is perfect for when I'm just cooking something small for me, the larger pan is great for the family. I am really thrilled to own these. They seem like they will last quite awhile with proper care, of course if my opinion changes I will update this review to match.

Question: what are the lids okay for?

These are not wonderful, just okay. On some jars, they don't even screw down tight--go beyond where they should stop, and then are just loose again. I've decided to keep glass mayo jar lids as an alternative. These lids are fine for refrigerator storage or dry storage, if you aren't needing things to not leak. I make my own fresh pickles and pickled ginger, so wanted something that would withstand the corrosion from the vinegar that eats up the metal lids and rusts them to the bottles. So far, they did not screw down tightly on the quart bottle of pickled ginger, and I almost spilled the whole thing getting it out of the refrigerator. That bottle now has a mayo lid on it.

Question: What do they need to do first?

This is my first stuffed burger press. I thought I'd be able to put a ball of meat in and pound it into form (says so in the instructions), but that was not to be. First, I need to shape it somewhat into a patty. Then, press it, and a shallow well forms in that patty. Fill it up, then form a second patty for the top. Press it with the burger press. Voila. A stuffed burger.The key is to shape the meat into a patty before sticking it into the press. Speaking of sticking, wet the press if you have any problems.It works, though not as smoothly as I dreamed. I stuffed a bunch of burger patties and froze half of them. My husband wasn't crazy about my recipe, but that's the cook's fault. Ahem.Since we have to do most of the work in shaping the patties before pressing, and we have to do it twice for each burger, I give it three stars. It's not as quick and easy as they make it look.This product was provided for review by Interact Marketing.

Question: Is it convenient?

I have always kept a dustbuster in my kitchen for quick clean ups. They are always charged. Not with this new 18 volt model. Not only does is not have much suction power, you can't keep the battery plugged in so it is always charged and ready to go. If you don't use it for 4-5 days, the charge depletes! So then you have to recharge it for 14-16 hours. Not convenient at all. So I returned the dustbuster. I then ordered a Eureka that works great and can be left plugged in, permanently. The model number is H96. It is not as large as it looks in the photos and is a great buy; not to mention it costs less than the inefficient new dustbusters. The new dustbuster models are now just cheap knock offs of the original great machines. Black and Decker in their attempt to make a higher profit by cheapening a previously great product, destroyed a really good thing.I strongly recommend the Eureka below:Eureka Quick Up Cordless 2 in 1, 96Hproduct.

Not only does is not have much suction power, you can't keep the battery plugged in so it is always charged and ready to go. If you don't use it for 4-5 days, the charge depletes! So then you have to recharge it for 14-16 hours. <hl> Not convenient at all. <hl> So I returned the dustbuster. I then ordered a Eureka that works great and can be left plugged in, permanently. The model number is H96. It is not as large as it looks in the photos and is a great buy; not to mention it costs less than the inefficient new dustbusters. The new dustbuster models are now just cheap knock offs of the original great machines. Black and Decker in their attempt to make a higher profit by cheapening a previously great product, destroyed a really good thing.I strongly recommend the Eureka below:Eureka Quick Up Cordless 2 in 1, 96Hproduct.


Question: What do you have to be sure not to do?

Pretty easy to use. Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. Just make sure not to overfill! All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great! I can't wait trying these with something other than just water! Maybe some lemon, or juice...mint leaves perhaps? :)

Answer: overfill

Just make sure not to overfill !

Question: How about the noise level of the air purifier compared with other purifiers I have tested at this price point?

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

Question: The customer bought the factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional mixer for what relative?

I have owned a factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional Mixer (6 qt.) for over two years and have had no trouble with it. It arrived in perfect shape, looking brand new. I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. It was on her gift registry at a chain store. I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest. The mixer arrived yesterday and has no scratches or blemishes. It, too, looks brand new. I took it out of the box to be sure it looked new, and only had to adjust the beater height using the screw in the neck of the mixer to get it in perfect shape. I know she will love it and it will look great in her kitchen. Maybe she'll even use it to cook something!

Question: What foods are good to reheat with the R-230KW model?

When it has came down to microwave ovens, it really is hard to deeply find one that can be compact and affordable. While more of them are being made to be bigger, they aren't definitely worth the convience of the money you spend for them. Fortunately, there are a few brands that do deliver nicely for their value, and Sharp is one of those brans. That does come well with their R-230KW model. It is a simple and convient way of cooking all your favorite foods from popcorn and flatbread sandwiches, all the way to chicken and fish filets. While it does handle well, there are a few problems with it. One of them is if you keep it plugged in, you'd have to first set the clock time. If you plug it in back and forth when you do use it, not keeping it in plugged in all the time, that can be a problem, but nothing to sneeze at. The second problem is that there is a problem with re-heating as its function. It isn't good for re-heating fast foods like pizza, but great for re-heating chinese foods that you order from take-out.Still, despite a few flaws, Sharp still knows why they make great microwave ovens, and their R-230KW is definitely worth its money. There aren't many microwaves that are worth their effort these days, but Sharp does have a high note on the art of cooking. If you are looking for a inexpensive microwave that can be convient for the everyday home owner, than this one is definitely for you.Price: BConvience: BEasy To Setup: B-Overall: B 1/2-

Question: How many times have they tried quitting soda?

I was skeptical with this purchase, but it really turned out to be everything I was hoping for.About me.... I was severely addicted to soda. I've been drinking 3-4 cans of soda a day for the past 12 years. I've tried quitting soda over 15+ times. Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer, I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. This teapot has helped me create new habits.Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces. When I got it in the mail, I was shocked by how small it looked. But really, who needs that much tea in one sitting? Another downside it that it didn't seem packaged very well. Amazon did its part, but the actual teapot box was punched through by the cast iron spout. Teapot was fine though.Why this teapot is great:It stays warmLooks stylish, authentic, and snazzyFeels heavy and sturdySeems to be made wellThe basket is easy to cleanThe teapot stays warm for a while, however, I suggest buying a cast iron teapot warmer so you can have warm tea constantly. They need tealight candles, but you can buy them over amazon or go to ikea and buy hundreds of them for less than 10 dollars.At the price of 20-25 dollars, this teapot is so worth it.

Question: Where do they live?

I think the Eva-dry wireless dehumidifier is a worthwhile tool in removing the feel and odor of excess humidity in one's interior. The mini dehumidifer is sufficiently small and lightweight to use in any room. The fact that Eva-dry is renewable is touted as an advantage, however, it is a nuisance for those who live in small apartments, like me. I do not have a garage or any area in my "home" where I can safely plug in the Eva-dry to recharge it, without emitting humidity into the air while the Eva-dry crystals are recharging, thus defeating the whole purpose of using Eva-dry. I have no alternative than to keep using Eva-dry with the large room dehumidifer I bought, and continually discarding the Eva-dry mini dehumidifier when it requires recharging.

Question: Where is the napkin holder designed?

I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders. I looked at all the holders that were of this design and liked the looks AND size of this one the best.I will never worry about napkins blowing away again. Designed in the U.S. but manufactured in China.I recommend placing the napkins with the folded part toward the post as well as trying to grab the entire napkin and not just a layer when you pull it out.

Question: What material would the main compartment be considered to this buyer?

Perhaps I should have read more carefully, but this is definitely a SHOULDER bad. The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag. But it is a fantastic design. The stretchy pouch is terrific! If folds up quickly and easily. I would give it five stars but ... it's the shoulder strap. I feel like I'm wearing a European Man Bag when I shop. Not what I want. I'll be regretfully returning them because of the shoulder strap. For those who want/like shoulder bags ... GO FOR IT ... it's terrific in design!

Question: What was this person worried about that inspired the search for a replacement?

I went looking for a replacement for a conventional Mr. Coffee type maker. I worried about fire hazard. I settled on this system because it was one of only three that met standards for water temperature. And it shuts off after 15 minutes or can just be turned off. And it's FAST. I flip it on after my shower, and it's made before I'm dressed. The carafe holds temperature well and - and you'l appreciate this after drippy conventional carafes - it doesn't drip. No drips at all. It's is indeed liable to damage if you handle it too heavily. For instance, if you lift it by the drip extension, the part that extend over the carafe, but, you know, you shouldn't be doing that. Fast, safe, great coffee. Who could ask for more?

Question: Is the bath mat thick or thin?

Does not drain fast enough to keep ya from standing in water while showering.It needs a way for water to enter and drain frim the front and sides.

Question: How has the author felt previously about similar products?

I must admit I had my doubts at first. I have used a lot of similar products in the past and have always been disappointed. This is the first wine chiller that really works! As cold as the wine is it will remain at the same constant temperature during an entire meal. So far it has passed the one hour test. The only minor difficulty in in removing the bottle from the cooling container. the chilling panel hugs the bottle so tighly it is a little difficult removing it. But it is probably because of this design that it is so effective in keeping the bottle of wine so cold. It is ideal for white wines.

Question: What discount did the person receive on the mop?

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: The customer summarizes that the heater is what?

Unit works well. Controls are simple, easy to set, but a remote control would be a seriously good addition. I'm using it in a large, draughty room, and it's inadequate, in spite of being labelled a "Large Room" heater. I also think the heat would be more efficient if it came out nearer to the floor, instead of on top. And the adjustable air flow louvre will not direct the air flow low enough to blow on the cold, cold floor. I just can't imagine what makes this heater so bloody large. I have other, smaller, less expensive heaters that put out just as much heat. It doesn't take up much floor space. It's just so tall! Overall, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just too expensive, and not warm enough for the size.
