Question: What turns off the heating element?

I bought this on a black-friday sale for $15 with free shipping. It was so cheap, I had doubts. Over a month or two by now, and it works just fine.It's a toaster. Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a $100+ fancy toaster oven.HOWEVER: You do get what you pay for.Without having a lot of experiences with toaster ovens, it does seem to be less functional than the description and the controls state/imply.I only use it with the top knob on "TOAST" and the bottom dial as a timer.The other functions "BAKE" "BROIL" ... and "OFF" don't have any use to me.When the timer is done, it turns off automatically and has a loud 'ding' (a good thing) or you just turn the timer to off manually if you want to end it early.It does get HOT. But all/most Toaster Ovens probably do these days.Never heard of this brand, but it's a good/durable/functional decent low end budget toaster oven ... Which you should keep your eye on (or use a tracking program) to get a REALLY REALLY GOOD PRICE!OH YEAH ... If you make toast, then immediately make more toast, the internal thermostat will usually shut off the heating element for a portion of the toasting time (for safety) ... but then you have to add more time once it dings. Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. It works.

Answer: the internal thermostat

Question: What type of tape was included?

These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.

Question: What is the problem with the strainer?

This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews, but it is the most "gimmicky." But on the slim chance that it could work, I was willing to give it a go because I absolutely loathe cooking pasta. Now don't get me wrong...I love to eat it...it's the cooking that I can't stand. The constant wait and taste, wait and taste, wait and taste...and then I invariably wait too long and end up with mush. Ack! I dreamed of something that I could just set into motion, put some sauce on low, then pick up around the house or get a little work done in the office until it was time to eat. Now I have my wish. Pasta is now so convenient that I'm experimenting with my own sauces, trying some new recipes, and just looking forward to cooking with it. My only complaint about the product, and it's a minor one, is that the strainer isn't as efficient as it could be. Because of the design of the lid, a bit of water gets easily trapped at the bottom of the strainer and can't exit because it's either hung up around the lip of the lid and clinging to dear life or because it can't reach the first slot in order to exit. As a result, you get about two tablespoons or so of water if you dump directly to your plate. If you're like me and don't like the excess water, a quick drop in a colander does the trick.

Question: What is the main issue of the user?

This thing is a hoot! So far I have dried peaches, apples and cherries and made beef jerky. That is more the function of how great dehydrators in general are though. THis one isn't ridiculously loud at all, as some people have said. You amy have to turn the TV up a few clicks if it is in the saem room, but you don't really notice it over a conversation or anything. Reasonable amount of space to dry stuff. My main issue is that it has major hot spots. I have to remove the fruit and stuff piece by piece every couple hours because some areas dry much mroe quickly. In retrospect, it would probably have been worth an extra $10 to find one without hotspots (but who knows, maybe that one would have them too and then I would have wasted $10). If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars. Regardless, buy a dehydrator, even if it isnt this one!

Question: What did I buy?

Yeah, it's cheap. It's tiny. And it's the same thing as the Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener, just modified to be kitchen-friendly.I had the Smith's sharpener and was ready to move on to something better. I should've been more careful when purchasing. It's not a satisfactory sharpener for a slightly-discerning chef. Not bad, but without a blade guide your technique will determine consistency. The edge is functional but if you're doing some technical/fancy chef style cutting, it's just not enough.

Question: Who was the pan set bought for?

I am picky about pans, and while hardly a "chef" , I know quality when I see it. A pan needs weight and balance, and (one hopes) a great design - you cant do better than the Earth Pan by Ozeri. Really.I have been a fan of USA based Whitford, and their coatings for decades, dating back to the seemingly indestructible "Excalibur" coating from the 1990's.I even inquired to Whitford, asking what is their current top-of-the-line coating-- guess what? It is "Eterna". If you are out and about to cooking stores, department stores, or even on-line -- "Eterna" is top-tier, frequently with eye-popping prices!The Ozeri version is probably nicer than some of the pansI say at more than double the price. The balance, the feel and form is outstanding. (Of course, the packaging is high-end, too - making it the PERFECT gift).I recently bought my senior parents an induction set up, and knew that if there is anyone MORE PARTICULAR about practical use/great quality pan's it is Mom. And Dad like his omelets!Over the Thanksgiving holiday we gave the pan some big time tests:Worked perfectly on induction!Made the best stuffing/dressing ever!Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwiches- A breeze!Dad's special "loaded" omelet - (and I quote ) "This is the best pan I have ever used"!A stir-fry that we added to a salad- perfection, nothing sticks, and everything cooks perfectly!If the Ozeri Earth Pan can pass the "senior-stress-test" with this kind of ease, I know most anyone would love this pan- be it a single, seniors, someone in college, or even in the military, overseas or where ever. The perfect "everyday" solution! A gift that will be used!Lastly, Mom ( late 70's) said she wanted to order one, too. I said - you have one , it's yours! ( she bought a few for her friends during the holiday season). It's THAT good.Really top-notch product, with best-in-class construction, and probably the most affordable pan with Whitford's "Eterna" coating.

Question: What setting is the Cooler set to for adequate functioning of the unit?

This Cooler is not small, but it is powerful. I took it out of the box filled the unit with two gallons of water plugged it in, and cool air was abound. And I'm using it in a Living room that is 440 sqft. It's 90 degrees outside and about 77 degrees inside.And truthfully I don't find the unit to be loud for the amount of air that it is producing, and I haven't turned it off of low setting.I am quite pleased with my purchase and look forward to a Cool Summer at less cost than running my AC unit.By the way I live in the Southwest; where humidity is low most of the Summer.PS: Hats of to the supplier because I received my order in TWO DAYS... Outstanding service!

Question: What did they look for in this coffee maker?

I previously used more expensive coffee maker that did not last whole year. This time, I decided to go different route in that I looked around for coffee maker that is low priced and yet, had pretty decent review. Buying more expensive coffee maker is no guarantee it will last a long time.I've had this coffee maker for couple of weeks now and so far it has worked great. Nothing fancy, the control is standard but it does brew very good coffee. Even my brother who is finicky about coffee likes it.Only time will tell if this coffee maker is built right and last over a year. Some of earlier reviewers have complained that this device worked well at first but later developed problems that knocked the rating from high to low.

Question: What should yo do before putting the clips on the base?

This rack is thin and lightweight and to be honest, I wondered if it would hold my spices without the clips breaking or coming off the base; not a problem. Follow the directions for placing the clips, and arrange your spice containers before sticking the clips to the base. You will be pleased with the results. Keep in mind when ordering, that these racks will hold small glass spice bottles and small to medium-large plastic spice containers. The racks are great for what they're intended to do, they are not a cure-all for every "spice cabinet need", use them accordingly and you'll be happy with your purchase.

Question: What is the product made of?

I put this on my very long table over a cloth tablecloth and it fit great and looked great! I can now change my cloth tablecloths to match the seasons and can protect them with this plastic tablecloth. I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124"). It also seems like it will not be ripped up as quickly as some of the more flimsy plastic tablecloths I have had on the table. Nevertheless, I purchased a second tablecloth as a backup. They were reasonable enough.

I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124"). It also seems like it will not be ripped up as quickly as some of the more flimsy plastic tablecloths I have had on the table. Nevertheless, I purchased a second tablecloth as a backup. They were reasonable enough.


Question: What do you get?

This is just what I was looking for. I received one of these in return for a review and it is just right. I have been looking for one of these for a while, but couldn't make up my mind.There isn't a lot to this set. Only what you need. You get the base that holds the molds upright, 6 molds that don't skimp on space, and 6 lid/handle/drip catchers. If you are looking onto getting an ice pop mold, then I highly suggest you get one that has the removable molds such as this one. I have seen other molds that simply hold 6-8 pops, sort of like an ice cube tray, but then you have to unmold all of them at once.My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that there is no recipe booklet. It would have been nice to have some instant inspiration when I opened the box. So I just searched the web and found tons of recipes.My first experiment was with watermelon, rum, Splenda, and lime juice. I mixed it all and poured it into the molds that were standing in the base. I capped them with the lid/handles and popped it in the freezer. After waiting as long as humanly possible, I popped one off of the base. I ran some warm tap water over the mold for about 5-10 seconds and the ice pop slid right out. It turned out amazing! These are just the right size for needing to have only one. The drip catcher is a nice addition. I was able to get all the way through my pop and never did get any on my hands.After devouring the entire tray ( I had help...), I put the entire set in the dishwasher top rack and they came out just like new. Ready for the next recipe, sugar free mocha pudding pops...If you want a nice set that is easy on the wallet, this will work just fine. No bells and whistles, just the basics. And the mocha pops turned out to be an awesome diet-friendly treat!

Question: Was the glue able to be removed by the customer?

This is just your basic, cheap, hecho in China colander. I would have given it a score of three, but felt that the presence of little metal slivers on the handle weld spots deserved a lower score! I removed the slivers with a pair of needle nose pliers, and they came off easily enough. Also, there is a label attached to the bottom with a glue that doesn't come off with normal washing. In fact, I haven't been able to remove the glue residue and suspect that it's going to be there a long, long time.

Question: Where was the unit being used?

I bought this unit because of several reviews that said it was whisper quiet. Oh, my. The first time I turned it on I set it on low, and it was pretty loud. On medium and high it was incredibly loud. So I left it on low, running continuously in my home office, for a week, and it just kept getting louder and louder.Thinking that I had possibly received a defective unit - because it was never anywhere close to whisper quiet, even straight out of the box - I exchanged it for another of the same model.The second one was even louder. Again, I always kept it on low, never turned it on medium or high because it was just way too noisy. I decided I would just live with it. Well, I can't stand it any more. Like the first unit, this one just kept getting louder and louder with each passing day. By the end of the third week, on the low setting it sounds like a roaring freight train. On medium or high, it sounds like a jet about to take off. This one is also going back, and I will keep looking for an air purifier that is at least moderately quiet.

Question: How can it be stored

I purchased this as a set to use when guests visit during the winter months (contrary to belief, Central Florida dips into sub freezing a few times during the winter.)Like others have said, the colors are vivid. Surprisingly so. And the comforter is ...comfortable and is a good fit on my bed. The entire ensemble will transform any bed into an inviting refuge for guests and the colors match the rest of my home's decor.Do be aware that this is 100% poly, which should not come as a shock given the price. I mention this because this set is comfortable for occasional use like for guests, but not bedding that I would want to sleep on for prolonged periods. I seem to have a built-in aversion to poly. On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for.Another plus for me is this set can be refolded and stored in a compact manner, so between guest visits it's out of sight and takes up little space.For the price you cannot go wrong. Even if you use these yourself as an everyday comforter set you should be pleased by the quality and beauty of this ensemble.

Question: How many ways can you screw the base node in?

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: What is the popularity level of the product among the user's customers?

I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive, lightweight and work just great with cotton candy. We use them in our commercial concessions and bounce house company and they are a huge hit. They hold a lot of cotton candy and don't fall apart easy. I'd recommend.

Question: What did the reviewer's husband melt?

I used this on my Thanksgiving turkey and it was right on the money. I plan to use it on the grill also. I have had trouble with my Pyrex and Farberware thermometers giving different results. My husband melted my favorite Cuisinart by leaving it in the oven. This is a less expensive choice that works quickly and well.

Question: On what date was the review updated?

I tried all kinds of non-plastic containers for dressings and all of them either leaked or were huge heavy glass. This finally gets it right for ketchup, peanut butter, cream cheese, dressing, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, or even toddler portions of things like raisins or nuts.They are stainless steel cups with stainless steel lids. The lid has a screw-on mechanism to lock it and a flat silicone ring fused to the inside. The silicone being fused on is nice so it can't get lost or fall off in the dishwasher. They are style neutral for adults or kids with no paint to chip off.They have gone through the dishwasher no problem. It's a great idea, long overdue.Update 5/31/13The silicone gasket has loosened and is warped (probably from me being so lazy and washing it in the dishwasher-even though it says it is dishwasher safe). But it has made is nearly (but not altogether) impossible to close them with a leak proof seal. I continue to use them, since I never trusted the kids to thread the lids on securely anyway, I can deal with it.

Question: What is the quality?

The look is dead on what I wanted in a night stand. With the open bottom and black and silver. Listen to the reviews though, the quality is lacking quite a bit.ALSO! I know it's my fault but measure your stuff in the room and make sure this thing is gonna size up nicely. I didn't even think to measure my king sized pillow top bed and this night stand falls WAY short of where I'd like it to be so I ended up having to make a box for it to stand on! UGH!In the end I would've paid quite a bit more for a larger version with the exact same look but better quality.

Question: What are the silicone oven mitts good for?

I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. These mitts are okay. They are very good for being "grippy" of hot cookie sheets. The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven. The thumbs are a little stiffer than I am used to with the old fabric ones, and they stick out a little more. The mitts are kind of expensive too. I haven't tried to clean them yet, so I'm not sure how they stack up there.Definitely good and "grippy", if that is what you are looking for.

Question: How is the appearance rated?

I love waking up to fresh juice in the morning and over the years I've tried everything from the old-fashioned "manual" juicers to quite a few of the juicers you find in most department stores. More often than not the ones I have come across are too big and bulks to be left out on the counter and just didn't deliver what I needed the most - the juice!With this Epica juicer though I am happy to say that it is truly a marvelous little gadget that doesn't take up too much space, and looks good on the counter top! The first thing I noticed is it was quiet -- not whisper quiet, but rather a gentle whir. No worries about waking the house up when you are making your morning cup of orange juice with this guy!Second, it's very sturdy for such as small design. The rubber base helps keep it in place and I have yet to have it go off-balance or scoot around while juicing oranges and lemons.Finally, it has a nice finish that goes well with the rest of our stainless steel appliances. A quick rub down now and then and it cleans right up!Overall, I'm thrilled with it -- and most of all, I'm enjoying the juice!

Question: Whats size pan is suggested to buy?

Received this yesterday and cooked a Delmonico. Followed all the rater's suggestions on cooking/searing (thank you) and I cannot believe I am saying this was the best steak ever. Better than any grilled steak. Steak tasted like fine quality restaurant steak houses. Only issue I have, and if anyone can post--how to get a rare steak? Cooked 2 minutes each side on med-low and after resting was well-done. This pan is extremely well-made, but it is very, very heavy. The two handles are definitely needed along with oven mitts. I needed both hands to lift the pan. I cooked on a glass-top and found the pan did slide a bit so I have to watch and make sure the pan is directly on the heat element. As suggested, purchase the larger size. With the smaller pan, cooking a Delmonico at 1.3 pounds there would not be room to spare to add veggies. Washed up great, no scrubbing or burnt bits on the pan. I am going to only buy Lodge from now on.

Answer: larger

As suggested, purchase the larger size.

Question: how much coffee does each press make?

I bought the Bodum Chambord 4 c. for my office and the Frieling 17 oz. for my home the same week. While I way prefer the sleek, contemporary look of the Frieling, the first time I used the Bodum I liked it better, and that has continued to be my opinion throughout several weeks of use. The shorter, wider design of the Bodum makes it easier to get the coffee grounds in and out, and it's not tippy like the Frieling. Also, the fact that it doesn't insulate as well as the Frieling hasn't turned out to be an issue. Since they both only make 16 oz., I pour all 16 oz. into my mug right away, so I don't really need my French press to hold the brewed coffee and keep it warm.

Question: Independent reviews say the Acme extract how much more juice than its competitors?

We have owned our Acme since approximately 1978, give or take a year or two. I can't compare it to anything else because we haven't used another machine since purchasing it. Moderately noisy and a hassle to clean, but it is an incredibly reliable workhorse that just keeps on going. Built like a tank. With the same design as the one shown here, our old model has all stainless removable parts over the white enamel motor housing. While the fact that it does not automatically eject pulp is a minus on the one hand, on the other hand, the Acme extracts up to 20% more juice according to independent reviews.

Question: What coffeemaker do my friend have?

After perusing coffee grinders for a year - I've found that the Melitta 80395 Burr Grinder meets all of my expectations. A friend has a pretty pricey Capresso and I've coveted it for years. Having tired of buying pre-packaged ground coffee that doesn't meet my taste (at $13. a pound) I decided to take a risk on one that didn't get the same cred, but definitely hit the mark when reviews and dollar value were combined. It works perfectly = and yes, it is noisy (but so it the Capresso) and messy at times (ditto the Capresso). At least it doesn't have the shrieking whir noise of the hand-held grinders = plus you can save yourself the early morning noise assault by grinding several cups in advance...

Question: Which ingredient causes the daughter and mother to have the most negative effects?

I was nervous about making my own yogurt. I quit buying yogurt because most yogurt at the store either has carrageenan , xanthium gum, guar gum and who knows what else. My Daughter and both have reactions to theses especially Carrageenan. So I thought I would try and make my own Yogurt so I can control what goes in it. WOW what a concept Yogurt made out of only Milk or cream no additives and has more probiotics. The yogurt turned out so wonderful I shared it with the people at work they all wanted me to start making it and selling to them, unfortunately I do not have the time. This shows you how great the Yogurt is when you make it yourself. I use cream which makes it thicker and honey on top I calculated the calories and it is a lot less then many store bought ones This is so easy I wish I would have done this years ago, Now I am no longer lactose intolerant who knew??

Question: The product the person is reviewing is called what?

I have a 12-ounce original "This is Not a Paper Cup" that I've used for quite a while, and wanted a slightly larger similar version. As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation. It's a glossy finish, and the sleeve is comfortable, and is easily slid off for washing. The lid is the same size as my other one, which makes it convenient. As of today, I can vouch for the sturdiness - I knocked it off the countertop, and it hit the un-carpeted floor with a thud, but had no damage.

Question: What is the size of the product?

What a distinct pleasure to have this fine Creuset in my kitchen! It was worth every penny and then some. The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven, and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line.The sloping edges of the pot are my favorite aspect. Or maybe it's the gorgeous variegated "Volcanic Flame!" with the rich vanilla-colored enamel interior. Or maybe it's the smart, competent way it sits atop the stove, ready for any assignment. Spaghetti sauce! Beef stew! Chicken soup!Solid and enduring pots and pans for the kitchen are always a wise investment; and this one, this one in particular, was love at first sight.Hallelujah.

Question: In the long run what can the product save?

For years I have seen this product in stores. After buying one and using it over & over again, I am a believer. Great for candies, chocolates, fondant, dough, bread, you name it. I never had a great place to roll out pie dough...now I do. Bake anything on it and it wipes clean. Fondant peels right off, royal icing cake decorations too. Nothing sticks on it, I love it. I don't have to buy parchment paper anymore..so it saves money in the long run. I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. Saves time too, washing-pans only need a rinse instead of a soak & scrub.

Question: What does the product do that is great?

I bought mine from Japan Super Mall, and it's made in Japan. I e-mailed them prior to ordering to make sure. It works great, makes washing rice faster since you have a constant flow of clean water running over it. Without something like this, you have to fill the bowl with water, swish it around, dump it, refill, swish, repeat, repeat, repeat...while being careful not to dump out rice while you're draining the water. This thing makes the process much quicker and more convenient.The description says it has drainers in the bottom AND sides, but really, it's only on the bottom. There are none on the sides except right where the spout is. It's not a problem at all because it works perfectly how it is, but the description isn't 100% accurate.

Question: What develops when the pan is over high heat?

I had high hopes for this set, because the Rachael Ray brand, while wildly inconsistent, sometimes delivers quality.Not here: these are thin aluminium pans of indifferent quality, all carefully plastered with non-stick to try to hide that fact. The non-stick looks to be of very good quality, which won't help its longevity at all given the thinness of what it's sprayed on. If you try to apply high heat, hot spots will instantly develop, burning the food and destroying the coating.The lids and the handles are surprisingly good and solid, but that doesn't make up for the foundation here, which is flimsy. In the same price range you can find (for example)this Cuisinart set, or if you really need non-stick in the essential pans, thisFarberware Classic Stainless Steel 17-Piece Cookware Set.A final thought: The choice of colour scheme: orange-fading-to-red ... didn't that already get done to death in the 1970s? This set is only missing the optional cartoon fruit 'n veg around the bottom and the option of also having it in Avocado, to match your 1970's refrigerator...

Question: What is one more thing you need to be mindful of?

This looks good and does the job well. But be mindful of its dimensions, placement of the screw holes and the dimensions of your cabinet. If you plan to hang it on the wall - you should have no worries. If you plan to hang it inside a kitchen cabinet, keep in mind:1- you will have to hang it low enough to allow for the top lid to clear the inside frame of the cabinet, and for the bottom to clear the cabinet frame.2 - before drilling any holes, check the sickness of you cabinet door in those specific spots. My cabinets have carved face, so the sickness of the door is very thin and I could not drill the holes for the lower two screws. I ended up using screw for the top hole, and command hooks for the bottom support. And I had to find my own very short screw for the top hole3 - you might have to use command hooks for the support if you cannot use any screws for any holes. But the lids add up to a lot of weight4- consider the depth that the lids will take inside the cabinet once the door is closedThe distance between the top screw and the bottom screws is about 16.5 inches

Question: What is mounted on her bathroom wall?

I have a teensy, tiny bathroom with no convenient wall location on which to mount a TP-Holder. This is the perfection solution to not only holding the roll, but of storing a few spares!I haven't had issue with mine falling over, but we also do not yank the paper with brute force either... the dogs have knocked it over for me, when all three decided to assist me in the tub-scrubbing adventure I was apparently enjoying without them.It is a wonderful solution for the smaller bathroom with no wall space handy!

Question: What are the author's concerns?

I have already owned a couple of similar chopper/dicers. All were essentially plastic and did an adequate job on onions, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc. Equipped with a plastic cleaning tool and three cutting grids, its tray has measure lines of its side and when held vertically will provide an accurate measure.While this cuts fairly well and hand washes easily, my only concern are that all body components are plastic. Given my past experience, the plastic pieces are the first things to fatigue and when using you must not exert a lot of pressure on the handle to force fruits and vegetables through the cutting grids. This may result in breakage or fatigue.While this is a relatively inexpensive kitchen tool, I suggest contacting the manufacturer if problems arise. This item has a one year warranty. This is not a bad item, but it does have construction issues.
