Question: What happened when the reviewer connected the mixer to electricity?

Purchased this mixer to replace a 10+ year old Kitchen Aid mixer. This mixer does a very nice job & overall I'm glad I purchased it. I gave it only 4 stars because of a potential safety issue - the second time I used this mixer I forgot to plug it in - I'd pushed the ON button & the speed button before I realized that it wasn't plugged in & when I plugged it in the mixer immediately began to run (spattering cake batter everywhere!). I'm thankful that there weren't any little grandchildren's fingers reaching in the bowel to steal a taste of the batter when the mixer automatically started up! It seems to me that it would be much safer if the mixer automatically reset itself to OFF when it's unplugged.

Answer: the mixer immediately began to run

Question: How many stars did this person rate the soap pumps?

I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. They have been in frequent use for a couple of years with never a clog or a drip! Both of mine are black, so I use different colors of soap & lotion so that no one gets confused. I like that I can see the fill level through the front, so I don't risk finding the container empty when I need it most. It is easy to press on the top with my clean wrist or the back of my hand, so I never have to touch the dispenser with dirty or greasy fingers - this means the dispensers still look good after all this time. The (black) case cover unscrews from a clear, wide-mouth container, so it is super easy to refill. I had a chrome caddy that grapefruit scented soap & lotion came in, and the Umbra dispensers fit perfectly into that caddy. This purchase has worked out really well for me. An easy 5 stars.

Question: How is the quality?

I use these knives all the time, they stay sharp for a long time and I really abuse my kitchen utensils from all the use they get. They feel good in my hand and are well worth the price.I buy U.S. made products every chance I get. Good quality and excellent pricing.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

I've been using these trays for about 3 months so far and have not noticed any chemical odor on the tray or the ice cubes. The cubes do have to be pushed out of the tray one by one, and placing the filled trays into the freezer can be challenging if you don't put a small baking sheet or Tupperware lid under them.That being said, even though I have a ice maker with ice through the door, I still use these trays because the cubes look cooler, and more importantly, they last significantly longer than my ice makers "cubes" (more like wedges). If you're willing to spend some time getting them into the freezer and out of the trays then these are well worth what you pay.

Question: How many hangers are left?

These hangers are worthless, and even put holes in your garbage bag when you throw them away.They are even pre broke when you buy them.I bought like 75 of them last spring, and a year later I have maybe 15 left, and only because they are in the back of my closet.Save your money, and find better hangers, this brand, and others that sell the same under different names should be banned from Amazon.Cheap, not when you have to buy more soon after.

Question: how much is it at costo?

There's a lot of of online comparisons between these two blenders. Both are great. But here are my comments to add more confusion to the mix. Blendtec Pros- Smaller footprint, less counter space, programmed settings, so you don't have to stand there and crank up the speed, you can do other things, if not done hit it again, Doesn't walk around on the counter much ( The VM with the programmed settings which I tried, was horrible about this) Cons- The small jar is definitely not 64oz of usable liquid, you occasionally do need a tamper or something to get stuff dislodged( although it doesn't have one), the lid is harder to clean, and seems to make a bigger mess taking it off the containerVitamix 5000( similiar to the 5200) Pros- Has the tamper for when food gets stuck, large jar, easy to use lid. Cons- Base is very big. Have to use the knobs to change speeds manually. As noted I tried the model with preprogrammed settings for a week (from Sonoma Williams), but it walked all over the counter.Overall these are both good. I have a few things that will gum up the Vitamix, and turns out they also gum up the Blendtec. Both have a 7 year Warranty now. Costco online is running a special this week for the Blendtec at $369 with both jars, and a 8 year warranty. I mainly use my Blentec now but haven't sold the Vitamix yet. Just in case..

Question: What will contaminate the ice cream if the electric crank/motor is not installed properly?

BEWARE !! If you do not install the electric crank/motor properly, the paddle shaft will strip out the metal insert of the motor housing causing metal shavings/filings to contaminate the product. The first time we used the maker, we were able to place the electric crank/motor on top of the can with the lid engaged...or so we thought. We were able to "lock" down the motor and the maker was able to turn the can / paddle. Everything seemed hunky dory until we opened the can to check on the progress to find the top covered with metal shavings. After further inspection, we noticed that the shaft of the paddle was striping out the metal gear of the motor. It is very disappointing to have to throw away 5 qts of homemade ice cream...not to mention the cost of ingredients. We have since been able to produce ice cream while making sure the motor is properly seated upon the can lid. However, we will be looking for a better machine.

Question: What does the author love?

Being retired and living alone I was looking for a slow cooker to be able to cook enough to make a couple of meals and something that worked and worked well. I had a couple of other slow cookers that I wasn't that happy with so looked for another and found this and it looked like what I wanted so bought it. I have been using it since I received it and in fact cooking tonight's meal in it and must say I love this slow cooker. I like the digital timer and cooking level and it works and works well. If I could give it more stars I would as this cooker is more then worth the money and I can not find any faults with it.

Question: What did I order?

This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes. However, I suggest purchasing it elsewhere. Amazon does not know how to package ceramic items for shipping. This set was placed in a packing sleeve as one unit, just as you see it in the photo. There was lots of space around the items, and therefore they were hitting each other during transit. This caused breakage and scratching. When I picked up the box from my porch I could hear clinking. I knew that was not good. I contacted Amazon and they were very good to work with and shipped me another set. Guess what? It was packaged just like the previous set and it also arrived in pieces. At this point I decided not to reorder from Amazon a third time, but rather try another store to order from. The product is great, but the shipping is not.

Question: What is used to grab hairs?

I also cleaned my cat condo tree with this, and though my results were not as spectatular as another reviewer, it still turned out really clean. Perhaps with consistent use it will be better. It's nice to hold onto, very comfortable, nice long electrical cord. The rubber end with the nubbins that grab hair works really well in any direction it is used. Very easy to disassemble to empty and clean debris.I took an old mascara brush (cleaned well in soapy water to remove all remnants of mascara) and use it to brush between ripples in the filter to help clean it out more when I am doing using it. Works really well.

Question: What heavy color is the kettle?

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

Question: How many corners of their sheets would they have to fix?

Some sheet sets just refuse to stay on my bed. Maybe its friction, or a lack of it, but it seems every morning I'd wake up on bare mattress, and have to redo 2 or more corners of my fitted sheets. But I still like the sheets, and don't want to throw them away...So I ordered these clips. Very simple. You clip them on the diagonal across the corners of the underside of the mattress, and you forget about them until you change your sheets. The Clips hold tight, don't tear the fabric or the mattress, are easy enough to use, and save me from moving my darn mattress every day. Well worth the cost.

Question: What are the risk of holding near the food container?

PROS:I pack my lunch everyday to office. I hate to walk to microwave to heat it up , so end up eating semi-cold lunch. Voila!, Crock-Pot solved the problem. Now I get a pleasant, flavorful and hot lunch. Wonder why no one knew about such a simple idea,but powerful concept.Hats off to Crock-pot if they are the first one. The size is good enough as well but this is not for cooking up frozen lunches. Just heating up prepared lunch.CONS> A traditional lunch box is not deep and wider. But this one is deep ..at the bottom is less convenient (esp noodles, Pasta)> There is no On/off switch which is a nuisance. In an office cubicle, usually plug points are set below your desks. The manufacturer claims it is fine to leave the unit plugged but why leave it on when you do not need to !> The food container that holds the lunch , when open and ready for eating is little above the warming base. The Food container is hot and u have to consciously hold the warming base and not the food container...You will get burnt.All of the Con's can be fixed easily . Probably Cost considerations led the manufacturer to cut corners!

Question: How many does it store

I got this beautiful wine rack to store both wine for my wife and corked beers for me. The large rack holds a huge number of bottles that allows us to store up to 56 of our favorites at any one time. The wood is beautiful and eye catching. The style is simple, but modern. It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. The rack is of solid build and seems to be something that will last for several decades. I'm not worried at all about filling it up, the rack is heavy duty enough to be able to hold all 56 bottles it's designed to hold. If you're looking for a good sized wine rack that is functional and beautiful then look no further than this gem.

Question: What is the gusset used for?

Unbelievable quality! Extremely well made - padded; great zippers. bottom unsnaps to provide 3" gusset for bigger items... camera, glasses, even in a big case! Side pockets also padded and large! (I have Samsung Galaxy s4 and it fits great, with EASY access. Even my wallet fits in this thing. I know some reviews said there was no padding, which was one reason I order the grey...all those reviews looked good. But, I might take my chance on another color, just because I love this so much and might keep one packed esp. for travel.

Side pockets also padded and large! (I have Samsung Galaxy s4 and it fits great, with EASY access. Even my wallet fits in this thing. I know some reviews said there was no padding, which was one reason I order the grey...all those reviews looked good. But, I might take my chance on another color, just because I love this so much and might keep one packed esp. for travel.

Question: What do they show off in the house?

Sometimes the design of something is so cool that I like using it to just get to see it work and this is one of those items. I can have one side up to dry one sweater or both sides up to dry 3 sweaters or put the sides down and slip clothing on just the bars or fold it very easily to store. I can not say enough good things about this dryer and even though we have a new house, I have been known to show this dryer before showing off the house. I am still blown away at how much it can hold and how light it is. I do use it inside so I can't tell ya how it is in the wind. If you can't tell, I think it is the best I've seen!

Question: Why did I have to return the first Braun?

Amazon customer service was excellent, as I had to return the first Braun due to excessive beater wobble and a funky motor, but a replacement was sent immediately. Unfortunately the new Braun wasn't too much better....the beaters still have considerable wobble and the motor still sounds like a very small model airplane. I have to say that Braun seems to be just one more company that is suffering from a bad case of quality slippage. However, the mixer works and no bits and pieces have gone flying off across the kitchen, so things could be worse. Will I buy Braun again...no.

Question: What did the author take to work?

I bought this container after I took vegetable soup in its supermarket container to work, and the lid came loose. (My bag FINALLY stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later.) It is great. I like soup piping hot, so I usually take my soups, beans, chili, and other more liquid lunch items cold, then microwave at work. However, just to see how well the container held heat, I did heat at home first a few times, and I was impressed with its performance. Even many hours later, my food was still hot enough to be enjoyable. The container is also easy to clean, absolutely leakproof, and resistant to food stains or lingering food aroma. Great, great lunch container.

Question: What is it important to do with the product?

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

Question: Where is the seam located?

As another reviewer said, the seam is in the front, which is a poor design, but other than that, it works well and looks good. Needed a napkin holder for out in the patio, but having the silverware too makes it even better.It's good looking enough to keep on the countertop all the time.

Question: How many minutes on the the dot to get firm whites?

My husband and I have poached eggs every weekend. We thought this would be a great way to streamline the process and avoid the messy cleanup, but it hasn't been that easy. It's very difficult to judge when the eggs will be hard as golf balls or with liquid whites. Usually four minutes on the dot and I get firm whites and runny yolk. In this egg poacher it's more like five minutes and fifteen seconds. At least some days. Clean up is a breeze and the water comes to a boil in record time. I'm still hopeful that I'll get the timing down soon.If they had included a recipe guide or any kind of instructions for cooking this would be five stars.

Question: What was the author's old tea pot covered in?

I sent this back. It seemed cheaply made and had a weird smell. It could have just been mine but seemed rather poorly constructed. the spout part is a separate piece. I have a porcelain enamel covered SS teapot but it fell and chipped on the outside. I bought this to replace that one but I tried the water alone after heating it up and it seemed to have a "different" taste. I used the same filtered water I always use. I decided to just keep using my old tea pot until I find something similar. I think the ceramic helps offer tea water with no metallic taste.

Question: What product is the reviewer writing about?

Some kitchen tools are easy to overlook. Don't for a second, though, forget how important it is to have a good spoon: comfortable, easy to use for stirring, useful in a cooking pot or saute pan, durable, easy to clean.This spoon is all of that and more. Price is good, too. Cooking grade silicone with a sturdy metal handle, just the right size slots, and easy to hold and control. And it washes like a charm.I've had his spoon and its un-slotted cousin for more than a year and it has help up very, very well, and has never failed me. Looks like new even after many trips to the dishwasher (in the dreaded lower rack!), big pans of bread dough, browning eggplant slices in hot oil, stirring garlicky sauces, and so on. It has never picked up smells or colors.Great, great kitchen tool. No cons, lots of pros.

Question: Who will hopefully accept the return?

I am hoping to send this back, except that I did not save the box! Hopefully, Amazon will accept the return. I was sure I would love it...and I do love the way it looks on my stainless steel stove, but that is about it. When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout! I almost got burnt. The spout is very wide and water just bursts out of it. I much prefer the All Clad pot that I replaced this with. Will be returning this one.

Question: Where does the reviewer live?

What can be said about this pot other than awsome....extremly well constructed. We (coonasses) live in Louisiana and love too cook, these pots once seasoned, cook great and last forever ... minus the Handle (knob) on the lid, it being plastic will give up it's ghost after a few cooking sessions, but can be easyly replaced w/ a cabinet knob purchased at the local hardware store, but once that is done it's forever faithful. and I can say a cabinet knob being wood customizes my lids quite nicely. I know my Lid anywhere :)

Question: How many cups does the smallest of two round bowls hold?

I'm tired of plastic containers that eventually look cruddy (try putting chili in one) or newer pieces of Pyrex/Anchor Hocking glassware that easily break. They are no longer made using borosilicate glass, and increasingly consumers (like me) are left to deal with inferior quality. Lock & Lock glass containers are made from borosilicate, and their pieces offer many qualities essential for kitchen/entertaining use.I appreciate containers that can withstand oven, microwave and freezer use. With proper care, these look like they will hold up well. I like the simple design and attractive lids--food looks appealing enough to serve "as is." No need to switch out to another bowl when serving to company at home or at away get-togethers.Make sure you know what size pieces you are getting. The picture for this eight piece set makes the containers look larger than they actually are. This set is ideal for empty-nesters or recipes that call for about two servings. The two identical square bowls are only .48 quart size (that will hold a little less than 2 cups of something) and the two round containers are 1.37 quart (6 1/2 cups) and 0.8 quart (about 3 cups). These are definitely not going to serve a crowd.All in all a nice product, but I wish they were more reasonably priced.

Question: What allows the steam to come out of the tempered lid?

I have had the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan for a couple of months now, and received the matching lid about a month ago. Prior to having the lid, I was using the pan for scrambled eggs, omelets, and other cooking that I didn't need a lid for. When cooking chops, and putting it in the oven, I had to cover it with aluminum foil.Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie. I also use the pan for making my favorite dish, which is an Indian curry.The lid is tempered glass, and has a really neat vent area, for allowing the steam to come out. It is silver in color, the same as the rim of the lid, and has a hole in the middle, with 4 smaller ones around the outside of it. The lid fits perfecting into the Green Earth Frying Pan.Now when I am cooking my pork chops, I can sear then in the pan, and transfer the pan, and lid, into the oven. As long as I keep the temperature down to 392 F or below, it is ovenproof. I normally cook my chops at 325 F.When using the lid, the black handle/knob, which is on the top, stays cool, making for easy cooking.I can watch my food cooking through the clear glass lid. Before I would have to check my food, by taking off the lid, to ensure it didn't run dry.I always wash my pots and pans by hand. However, this lid is suitable to go into the dishwasher.I was sent the 8" Green Earth Frying Pan Lid, by Ozeri for my personal use. I was under no contract, or obligation to write a review, or to write a favorable one if I chose to write one.

Question: what gets mixed in with the chocolate pieces?

My husband really wanted a chocolate fountain at our wedding, it was one of the only things he had input on. I started looking at the rentals and was shocked that they were about $150 - $200 to rent. We were having a smaller wedding with only about 60 guests and I could not imagine spending that much on a chocolate fountain rental, so I started my quest and found the Wilton 3 Tier Chocolate Fountain.We cleaned it before the wedding, but didn't have a chance to try it out so the wedding day was the trial day. We heated the chocolate pieces and mixed in the oil and there it went we had our own chocolate fountain (I paid a couple college kids to keep the chocolate going as well as keep the other dishes on our buffet table full and they just used zip lock bags to melt the chocolate and mix in the oil). We have since used it several other times. My husband is in charge of cleaning it, he says you have to treat it kind of like a paint sprayer when you clean it and make sure that all of the parts get cleaned so that it doesn't clog up. With his method of cleaning we have had no problems and do a lot more chocolate fondue than we did before we had the fountain.I have since experimented with the fondue recipe a bit and use a mix of chocolate pieces, marshmallows and brandy then add a little oil if it is too thick. The trick is to make sure that the chocolate is not too thick and heavy for the pump that takes the chocolate to the top of the fountain.One more note, I have seen some of the fancy fountains at other events and in some buffets and I would say if you are looking to use this for a large (More than 75 people) gathering you probably need to go with something bigger, but for smaller groups this is a hit.

One more note, I have seen some of the fancy fountains at other events and in some buffets and I would say if you are looking to use this for a large (More than 75 people) gathering you probably need to go with something bigger, but for smaller groups this is a hit.

My husband really wanted a chocolate fountain at our wedding, it was one of the only things he had input on. I started looking at the rentals and was shocked that they were about $150 - $200 to rent. We were having a smaller wedding with only about 60 guests and I could not imagine spending that much on a chocolate fountain rental, so I started my quest and found the Wilton 3 Tier Chocolate Fountain.We cleaned it before the wedding, but didn't have a chance to try it out so the wedding day was the trial day. We heated the chocolate pieces and mixed in the <hl> oil <hl> and there it went we had our own chocolate fountain (I paid a couple college kids to keep the chocolate going as well as keep the other dishes on our buffet table full and they just used zip lock bags to melt the chocolate and mix in the oil). We have since used it several other times. My husband is in charge of cleaning it, he says you have to treat it kind of like a paint sprayer when you clean it and make sure that all of the parts get cleaned so that it doesn't clog up. With his method of cleaning we have had no problems and do a lot more chocolate fondue than we did before we had the fountain.I have since experimented with the fondue recipe a bit and use a mix of chocolate pieces, marshmallows and brandy then add a little oil if it is too thick.

Question: What type of reviews does this person not normally like?

I'm not one for rave reviews but I've been pounding on this thing every morning for two years and it's held up great. It's the right size, wouldn't want it bigger or smaller. The quality stainless hasn't tarnished one bit, the bamboo box is strong and still looks good -the only thing is the satin lacquer finish has gone dull from repeated washing but that was expectable. Even the foam on the bar is still in good shape.To boot it was a bargain at the price and I ended buying a second one for a gift

Question: Why is the vacuum cleaner bad?

This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

Question: How does the reviewer feel about his personality late at night?

It's a great little fan and it sits on my desk blowing a gentle breeze my way right now. I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity.

Question: Do the pans handle every day use?

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: What does the writer say is sturdy?

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 pleased are they with the rice cooker?

We had a generic rice maker/steamer for a long time.Sometimes the rice came out soggy and sometimes too dry. My daughter frequently travels to Japan and wanted to enjoy the same types of rice here that she experienced in Japan. I called Zojirushi and spoke with someone there who helped me to pick out the best model for our purposes and we love it.We also wanted to purchase one that was manufactured in Japan and she told us which ones were. While we support American made products, in this case we wanted to help the country that has been so devastated by the Tsunami, floods and earthquakes beyond what we have experienced. There are also some models that are made in the US if you prefer that.So far I have cooked Sushi rice, white medium rice and brown Gaba rice in it. Every time the rice comes out beautifully done. I love that you just set it and forget it. You can set it to time delay start too. I get a kick out of the fact that when it starts and finishes it plays a musical tune. It makes me grin every time. However if the tune annoys you - you can reprogram it to a beep. The rice maker itself is fairly small, low profile and looks classy with it's stainless steel exterior.It is easy to clean. I am 100% pleased with the product and can highly recommend it. Someone else mentioned that they didn't like the "large" cord.. that didn't bother me at all.

Question: What did I buy?

We have friends that sometimes will have a few too many and end up staying the night at our place with some frequency. The bed in our guestroom isn't the most comfortable (so we've been told by family and our friends). I saw this on sale and thought it'd be a good purchase, and it has been. We've had three separate comments since the switch about how comfortable it is to sleep on our guest bed. I'd definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to change the feel/comfort level of a bed.I wish I had something like this in college, as it blows the standard "egg crate" away. Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's hard to justify not spending $100 or so to vastly improve your quality of life.

Question: What containers for the vitamix do I have now?

I was given a new 64 oz standard size container for my Vitamix Creations Galaxy Class (QVC) blender that came with the shorter 48 oz container. The 64 oz container I was given didn't come with a tamper and the mini one that came with my 48 oz container of course will not work. This arrived 2 days after ordering and fits and works perfectly for my new and taller 64 oz container. I now have a large and small container to use with my new Vitamix. Yay! :) Also, this tamper was only $14 plus tax. When I went to buy one from the Vitamix site I would have wound up paying over $19 after tax and shipping,...no shipping costs with prime and it was here in 2 days. :)

Question: What was the person doing when they got burned?

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: 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: Did the company replace the dispenser when it broke?

I like the Zero water concept. It delivers on its promise of clean water. However, in my area of the country, I go through filters quickly. The filters are expensive, but you have to balance that with the cost of bottled water.My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. The one I bought had a design flaw in the button that allows the water to dispense. It has a small stem that is made of plastic and will eventually break. There is no way to repair it.The company promised to replace the dispenser...then I waited, and waited...the customer service people kept stalling. Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser, but they sent me coupons for more filters! Incredible!A company that has such disregard for its customers does not deserve my business. I will never buy another one of their products.

Question: What did they make?

This pan, book, and oven mitts combo is a great bargain at < $70.00. The pan is good quality. The mitts are thick and attractive. The book is spectacular. I like the book better than the pan or the mitts. I made pizza from recipes in the book and it was excellent.The pan.......Pros: The pan is heavy duty and well constructed.Cons: The pan is NOT constructed of magnetic stainless steel. It has a raised portion in the bottom with a rather deep channel around the outer edge. Presumably this channel is to collect fat rendered while roasting meat. I see no purpose for such configuration in a lasagna pan. I believe this pan was conceived by a confused designer or labeled a "lasagna pan" by a confused intern in the marketing department. Anyway, I would prefer such a pan have a flat bottom. Maybe I'm making more of this than warranted. I'll see......

Question: Where did they use DampRid

We have a small room converted to an office, on the second story of our house. The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there.Based on a recommendation from a Home Depot associate, decided to give DampRid a try -- and have been very happy ever since. We put the container in the room, and about every few weeks or so we dump out more than a cup full of water down the drain. These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now.Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.
