Question: When did I buy the DeLonghi espresso maker?

I don't usually leave a review, but I always appreciate the reviews people leave. They are very helpful for my decision making of a product.I want to start out by saying, Amazon always gets my order to me very quickly. I received the Nespresso U C50 with Aeroccino Milk Frother today. I unpacked it, and made an espresso. The best espresso ever, I was only trying to duplicate a Starbucks Latte. In my opinion this was a great decision to finally buy this machine, it makes a better espresso than Starbucks. The machine is compact, and clean looking. It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago.The Nespresso is extremely quick and no clean up, amazing machine. I just wish now I would have purchased it long ago. Very happy with it at this point.

Question: What kind of filter does the author mention?

Yeah sure, Hepa filter microns microbes blah blah, but it's the *carbon* filter (aka the Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter) that keeps the house from smelling like a Bullitt County bingo hall. Change the carbon filter every month or so and you can lie to your children about having given up the Pall Malls. I bought the Honeywell 17000 first; it uses the same pre-filter, it's quieter and it probably helps a little. The 50250, however, is exponentially more effective at eliminating cigarette smoke simply because it filters a massive amount of air. To do that, it has to make a little noise. Fine with me; I haven't heard the neighbor's country music in months and the dog is no longer alerted to save us from the mailman's daily threat to commit a home invasion.

Question: What is the writer compared to?

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: What is the one major expense of HEPA filters that occurs over the years?

This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic: it's an efficiently designed rectangle, and though it's not snazzy on the outside, it's not offensive or obtrusive either.It sits in my home office, and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time.I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation.The unit, though not cheap, is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost-effective to operate over time. As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty, and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... yes, you read that right. All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre-filter every few months. This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. It's simple. It really is: set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you're safe.The unit doesn't take up a lot of room, though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings. The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. To give you an idea of what I'm trying to say, while you likely wouldn't have a hard time sleeping with setting 1, you might with setting 2, and you DEFINITELY would with setting 3. Of course, everyone's mileage varies and I'm using words to describe an audible volume, which is not the same as hearing it yourself. As I said earlier: it's in my office, not my bedroom, so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance.If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.)

Question: How accurate is the scale?

The American Weigh SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale is one of the best purchases I ever made. It's even better than I expected. It's small enough to slip into my kitchen drawer when I'm not using it. It's less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high. It has a 4 inch square weighing platform. It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes, and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. It's so easy to use and store. I tested the accuracy with a 50 g calibrating weight - this scale is absolutely accurate to fractions of whole numbers. I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous.

Question: What part of the Thermos has to be twisted to release water?

I've been using this for about 2 weeks. I love cold water, like water that's been refrigerated, don't like ice. But at work I wasn't able to keep my water cold so I always ended up grabbing a can of Coke (office keeps these in the frig). if I put a bottle of water in the frig, everyone would have helped themselves to my cold water. I figured a thermos might work. This Thermos keeps the water at least cool all 10.5 hours I'm at work (it does go from cold to cool as the day gets long but it's still cool enough) so I've kicked the Coke habit and have been drinking a lot more water. Except now I run out of water, drink it all, so now am thinking about getting a bigger Thermos. I like the strap handle. Keep forgetting that the screw in plug doesn't need to be completely removed to pour water, you just have to twist it a bit since the plug has a liquid-canal in it. I'm just happy with this guy. Thinking of buying a Thermos mug too so my water will always be cold.

Question: Who makes good kettle corn?

I enjoy having something like this that enables me to make my very own kettle korn, and this is a pretty good choice. I'd much rather be able to capture the taste at home of some of the county fair kettle morns, but until I can invest in a machine and purchase the supplies of those vendors, this will have to do -- really, one can't complain much about four stars. At least nutritionally, it has nearly all microwavable kettle morns beat by a mile because it's straight ingredients, no trans fat, which the USDA has now deemed to be unsafe in any amount (of course, sugar is gaining on its heals with a similar legacy). This is certainly better than that.

Question: What would they like to see the case in the future?

Answer: in solid color and King size

<hl> This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. <hl>

Question: Why is the added feature a plus?

First, I like the rubberized handle on top. It makes holding the grater much more comfortable.But, other than that this grater is actually really annoying. With the cup on the bottom the grater is unstable. Okay, so we take it off. Then the black base catches little bits of cheese and needs to be removed in order to thoroughly clean everything (and it's not as easy to pull that little black piece off as it might sound). In order to make the handle rubberized and comfortable, OXO had to add a whole cap piece on the top which effectively makes the top row of slots on the grater useless! When we're working with a block of cheese we want to start at the top and build momentum going down the slots to make grating easy, but that's just not possible with this grater.We'll be going back to our uncomfortable grater because at least it works without all these hassles.

Question: What is the customer is the market to buy?

We were looking for an inexpensive and simple coffeemaker. None of that digital timer stuff, just an old-fashioned on-off switch. We made the mistake of getting a different one--and ended up sending it back. We looked again, saw this Mr. Coffee offering, and decided to try it out.What a difference! The way the top flips up separate from the water delivery system means it's easy to put in both the coffee and the water; much better than having to flip the filter compartment open from the side. The carafe feels sturdy, doesn't spill coffee all over the place, and holds the full 12 cups we expected. The switch being in front makes it easier to turn on and off (the other one slid all over when trying to turn it on). The coffee stays hot, but not so hot to scorch. Not that we end up leaving it on; we tend to drink all the coffee each time we make it!Did I mention the coffee tastes great?

Question: What did the knife do to a finger?

I like the feel of wood handles, but the handle on this is still quite good.It doesn't have the weight of some knives, but so far that's just a matter of "feel"As a tool for cutting, it works really well. It's very sharp, at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. This wasn't while I was using it. I put it in a place that in hind sight wasn't a good idea. And while reaching for something shoved a finger against the edge. The result was a very deep but very straight/clean cut almost to the bone. Ooops?No urge to rate it down for my own mistake.The drop in one star is just for lighter feel and the edge flutes that haven't helped with any of the things I've been cutting. I had really hoped they would help but they haven't at least for cutting veggies or other very wet things.The weight is a bit of an issue for chopping. But maybe this style blade isn't used for that normally. Not being a serious cooker or chef, I don't know.

Question: What will you need to do to the screws?

Losing counter and storage space, needed a solution. Cart is right height to underside counter top and color to oak floor. Laid out unit by grain to build and GORIILA glued all mating/joint construction. You will have to really torque screws to bottom the heads for sturdy construction. Drawer stop can be positioned to miss items and bottom not as thick as cart sides bit glued in place makes it stronger. Leaf stops are different, but have successfully supported coffee makers, toaster and machines for months. Had misgivings about wheels, but all I hear is nice cart and great wheels. Assembled glued correctly it is 5 stars.

Question: What is the condition of the item?

Have you ever seen that Seinfeld where Jerry's car is attacked by BO that doesn't go away, and lingers on anything that crosses its path? This has the same disease. Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty. Gross, but it's a foot warmer so I thought I'd give it a chance regardless. In its defense, it *does* work - my terminally cold wife liked the warm footsy feel; unfortunately she has a sense of smell. The room we had it in is still stinky! Get this thing outta our house!!! :)

Question: How does the writer pack their lunch?

We love our Easy Lunch Boxes! I have had a set for 2+ years - from preschool to first grade, and they still are in excellent condition. I do not hand wash, they go through the dishwasher (normal wash/heat dry) and I've had no warping or discoloration.My favorite things about ELBs:no more plastic baggies!No more squished lunches!! (nothing says "yuck" like a flat or half-flat BB&J;)Packing lunch is quick and easy - just assembly-line the boxes!I love that lunches for my two kids and I fit all together in the Easy Lunchbox insulated tote for when we go on picnics in the park/zoo, we do not need separate lunch bags.and I love all the lunch ideas on the Easy Lunchbox website/gallery. When in a lunch-rut, I check out the photos to keep my kids interested and excited in their lunches.For "leaky" items like apple sauce, canned fruit, veggie dip, etc., I just put a little Press-n-Seal over that compartment. It is rare that I pack that sort of thing though, I usually get applesauce cups and they drop right into the middle-sized compartment with no problem, and sit low enough that the Easy Lunchbox Lid still fits on.

Question: How many have they bought?

This is the second Luna Pad that I have purchased for a 2 year old who is in a full size bed. He is still in diapers, but sometimes they leak through. The pad has done its job each time. I put the Luna pad on top of the mattress pad but under the sheet. Yes, I have to wash the sheet and the Luna pad but it has protected the mattress which is main concern. I recommend this pad for children.Full Size Luna Premium Hypoallergenic 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector - 10 Year Warranty - Made In The USA

Question: What was the problem with the crappy travel mugs?

This travel mug is worth every penny. I used to have one of those dime a dozen, crappy travel mugs and couldn't wait to throw it out. And, just like many of the travel mugs out there, It leaked and looked cheap and flimsy. This travel mug is just the opposite. It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours. I mainly use it in the morning to transport my coffee to work and it is the perfect mug for that. I am very glad that I finally decided to buy this mug.

Question: What kind of bed do the sheets fit?

These sheets are made of good, heavy fabric. I ordered them for a full-size bed. The only down side is that when they come out of the dryer, they appear wrinkled. However since I'm the one using these sheets, that doesn't bother me (it would if I was using them on a guest bed). They're sturdy, very crisp and comfortable and are fully cut to fit the bed, especially the fitted sheet. They also give you 4 pillowcases (I only need 2) but that's a nice touch. For the price, I think they are very good sheets and a good buy.

Question: What will happen if the lid is bigger than that?

I have 9.5 in pie plates and they barely fit. If your pie has a lip and is bigger than 9.5 inches these may not work for you. I have these pie platesPyrex Easy Grab 9-1/2-Inch Pie Plateand because of the easy grab lip, it JUST fits. Once the pie is in this keeper, you will not be removing it until the pie is finished for there is ZERO wiggle room to grab the pie plate out.The lid is hinged and it appears like it will be a weak spot. I'm not sure if these will still latch shut once the hinge goes. Being they are not horribly expensive I won't mind if I only get a year or 2 out of the hinge.It is deep which is good for the pie plates I posted (though not advertised as such) are pretty deep. I have a lemon meringue pie in one of these right now and the lid clears the topping just fine.

Question: How much does this product cost?

There's a lot of function packed into this product. Besides being able to support the weight of as many soap and shampoo bottles that you can fit on top of it, but it has a small bar and two hooks for your rag, loofah or whatever other accessories you use in the shower. If you shave in the shower you can also hang your disposable razor in the hooks. The bottom of the shelf has small openings in it so water can drain.Installation is a snap - quite literally. Once you make sure the pads on the side are attached (if they're not, it's a simple matter to reattach them). You place the shelf in the corner where you want it, and give the button a nice firm press, and boom - you're done. If you don't like where it is, you just pull the button out and start over. Since it works by pressure and not by adhesive, there won't be any marks on your tile. I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems.This might be a little pricey at first glance, but it is very well-made of quality material and does its job perfectly with no flaws, making it worth the $30 price point in my book.

Question: How many shoes can it fit?

I am so glad I read both the positive and negative ratings. After seeing some of the more favorable reviews and the pictures I decided to take a chance on this rack. I am so glad that I did. I liked it so much I bought a second. You must make sure that you assemble it tightly otherwise it may come apart. If you pound the ends to ensure they fit together tightly (you may want to have a 2nd person assist, although not neccesary)you will have no problems. The coating on the racks are textured and not smooth to help shoes from sliding and the adjustable racks help accomodate different types of shoes. Some mention they can't close doors with this on the back so I (and I would suggest others) put it on the inside of a closet door. It can easily fit 36 pairs of shoes, if you have really wide or large shoes it may be a little less (although other reviews say that with their wide shoes it accomodates 36). It hangs on the door easily with no problem. It's lightweight but sturdy. Compared to some other racks that I've owned, it's sturdier, holds more shoes and doesn't crimp or damage any parts of my shoes.

Question: what did they use to cut away excess?

I used this mold last night for the first time, and it was extremely easy. The package recommended that I lightly dust the mold with cornstarch but I used powdered sugar instead, with great results. I used the mold to make the beads and they looked great on my cake when finished. I did learn to make sure to replace the powdered sugar dusting at least every two or three sets of packing the mold or I'd get a bit of sticking, and this was easily accomplished by using a small paint brush. I also learned to make sure that I didn't have excess fondant on the sides or back of the beads as this made the beads look a bit sloppy, but I just used a small sharp knife to cut away any excess and it only took a couple of seconds. Highly recommended.

Question: What does the author about the product?

I bought 3 of these for my adult children. I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist. They are not only functional but I like the safety cover. The cover protects unwanted jabs on your hands when reaching in drawers / other places where you may store one. I'm glad I found these avaiable via Amazon. I recommend having one, it's handy to have one around just in case you need it.

Question: What is the pole made of?

This is exactly what I needed! We have a smaller desk fan in our bedroom that is quite loud and I wanted another fan in the room for my side of the bed. I was afraid based on other reviews that this would be really loud and create a cacophony of white noise...but this fan is actually surprisingly quiet, MUCH quieter than the smaller fan we have. It was really easy to put together, took maybe 10 minutes or so.The base and fan parts are plastic, and the pole is metal. I was afraid it would look cheap because of the plastic but it actually looks very nice. It does a great job of circulating the air, is very quiet, and you can't beat the price! Would definitely recommend.

Question: Is it hard to turn the handle?

What I like:1. easy on my latex free dishwashing gloves which are not cheap.2. well written instructions/pictures. a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3. it stays clean. The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning4. as easy to crank as any other manuel. electricity free and fits in a drawer5. even works on pop-top cansWhat I don't like - keep your old manual around1. does not work on all cans, especially those really small2. can not use lid to drain liquids. while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods.I know a product should only get 5 stars if I have no dislikes, but this met my requirements for it 100%. I wanted a manual can opener that would help encourage me to recylce more.As far as durability, I'll have to wait and see. Just got it for Christmas 2009.10/2011 I still love this and it has held up very well.

Question: What will the customer use boiling water for on the stove?

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. It is a real winner in my book! i like the safety features of this kettle and especially not having a cord dangle as I'm filling my teapot with boiling water,My expensive coffeemaker has a plastic filter basket which I think imparts a flavor to my coffee. Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal. This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove <hl> when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal . <hl> This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch.

Question: How many cubic feet does their kitchen counter have?

I have a very teeny kitchen and about 3 cubic feet of counter space. A traditional coffee maker takes up far too much room. I did not want to spend a fortune on a one cup brewer. Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use.I got this today. Followed the instructions and made myself of cup a joe. It was good. Makes a good cup of coffee and does it fast. The mug is good quality too. I love the automatic shut off as I tend to be absent minded first thing in the morning.If you are looking to make a good, basic cup of coffee using a machine with a small foot print, this will work. Easy to use as well.

Question: What pot is this?

This French press pot works well, and is more attractive than many. The feet keeps the hot glass above the surface of the table or counter. The pot is also very sturdy and well-balanced, and does not feel unstable when the plunger is pressed. The seal around the edge of the plunger is tight, and the mesh is very fine, so I have not had any trouble with grounds ending up in the cup.I like this pot very much. Getting a great cup of coffee with a French press is a matter of getting the amount of coffee correct, and making sure that you allow ample time for the coffee to steep.Definitely recommended.

Question: What does the new silicone spatula do when you mix something?

I was a big fan of these when they first came out and used one of them constantly. I never use wooden spoons anymore and anything I have that is silicone, is heat resistant. The reason I bought this one is that my favorite one suddenly broke off a chunk of silicone. I'm not sure why it happened but I decided to toss it.I find this one is not nearly as stiff or friendly to use. The other one had the stiffening center core product that was closer to the end of the silicone so that it was more usable when mixing something. This one has quite a bit of squishy silicone near the tip that just bends when you try to mix something. It also doesn't feel as durable in my hand.

Question: what kind of sleepers are these pillows not good for according to the writer?

These are absolutely terrible pillows for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable. My husband continued to use his for a week or two more, despite the fact that he complained about how flat and uncomfortable it was on a nightly basis.If those problems weren't bad enough, it's almost as if your head slides around when you're trying to sleep on one. I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but if you put some pillow stuffing in a plastic bag & then covered that bag with a pillowcase, it'd have roughly the same effect (without the noise, of course).All in all, these pillows were a total waste of money, and I couldn't have been more disappointed with the purchase. Both eventually ended up in the trash because they weren't fluffy enough to put in shams or nice enough to use for guests.

Question: How much thicker is it?

This is a solid and well-constructed ironing board. The best part about it is that the wide end is wider than your average ironing board which makes it nice ironing for men's shirts. When it's folded flat, it is shorter than an average bar by a good foot; it's a little thicker by about two inches. It has a heavy feel and definitely is more stable than my old ironing board. There are a few moving parts and that concerns me a bit for the long haul, but the workmanship looks good, so it will probably be OK. The front leg has a button you push to collapse it and it's a bit of a trick to press that at just the right time when closing the board so as not to nick your finger. I still rate it very high for an ironing board and definitely recommend it.

Question: Why did the reviewer buy the fan?

Some people see this fan as a way to cool the tent while camping, but my family wanted a backup in case our electricity should fail. It's not a replacement for air conditioning, but has plenty of airflow at arm's length, even on the lower setting. High setting should ventilate diners around the kitchen table.When you pack, it folds into a 4" thickness. The battery enclosure is secure. It trades steel housings for light weight, and I think the trade was worthwhile. 8 D cells does make it heavier, but gives it long runtime.

Question: what size are the trays?

I've had this salad kit for several years and it remains one of my favorite bowls for work lunches. It holds a medium to large salad. the freezer tray stays cold until needed at lunch time (much better than some of the other stay-fit freezer lids). I pack it in an insulated bag, but haven't ever needed to include an extra ice pack.The dressing container is the perfect size for dressing. The trays are on the small side, but unless you really need a super-size salad, this does help with portion control. I've easily packed enough toppings in tray, which have varied from cheese, chopped or cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, croutons, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.

Question: The blade is a type of what?

I purchased the santoku 6" and it's awesome (although it chips very soon). This paring knife its so good because its handle; I feel it more ergonomic than my previous one. THE BLADE IS PERFECT, it's razor sharp and well, you know , it is kyocera.BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade. I dont like it. I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe.I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective.I won't buy the fancy knives again.

Question: What is collapsible?

Ordered this in time for Thanksgiving. What a great invention! Works very well for most every pie. It won't slice a small pie all the way but I used it to mark the slices for the Marie Callander frozen pumpkin and pecan pie so everyone got the same size slice of pie. The homemade mince/apple pie cut perfectly and I left the slicer in place to separate the pieces and keep the filling in place. Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage, and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices. The storage box is small enough to tuck away without taking much cabinet space. A must for every hostess.UPDATE! I love it even more. We took a small frozen pie out of it's 8" aluminum foil pan and let it thaw in a regular size pie dish that the slicer fit in and voila; perfect pie slices.December 1, 2012 update. Still love this pie slicer. It IS collapsible, if the cutter blades are hard to remove be sure you have unscrewed the red top from the white, or use a rubber gripper to get a better grip on the cutters. If you are baking a frozen pie that is 8 inches, put it in a 9 pie plate to bake or do what I do; mark the top of the pie by gently pushing the the cutter into the top of the pie to make cutting guide lines. I had four pies at Thanksgiving and I marked the pies with the cutter so all the pieces were even. I love this pie cutter and use it all the time. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores in a small space and collapsible.

Question: Where is the liquid escaping from?

the fact that the bottom tends to leak. Almost every time we've used this blender, we go to pour the blended drink into a glass only to find that there's a small amount of liquid escaping through the bottom of the pitcher. This can be problematic if you aren't prepared to account for the leak. Surprisingly though, this fault in its design hasn't made the blender work any less great than it's intended to. Aside from that fault, this blender is awesome.Our last blender was glass, and that's why we decided to go with plastic. No complaints or regrets there. The lock mechanism was refreshing, compared to every other blender I've ever used; which always made me feel like I was breaking it by trying to get it to snap in place. There's none of that here. I have yet to experience any of the strange motor odors I'm used to with other blenders. The lid isn't the sturdiest, and I was initially worried that the center would not prevent leaks, but there have been no leaks through the lid and the lid seems flimsy for the sake of being easy to put on/take off. And it's perfect in that regard. Loved the speed settings, and the fact that the first setting actually works its way up to full speed instead of just hitting the ground running.It's a good blender, especially considering the price. But do watch for the leaking bottom (no pun intended).

Question: Is it fairly inexpensive?

This is by far the best AC unit I've ever had the pleasure of operating. The engineers were able to get everything right on this unit. The pitch of the fan blades, the design of the compressor, the controller interface - these all equate to a great unit which operates within a decibel rating and frequency that is very friendly to the human ear. It's fairly amazing to see such craftsmanship go into a cheap 5,000 BTU unit. Took a gamble and it paid off wonderfully. Oh, and the remote rocks! It should be a crime to sell an window AC unit without a remote.

Question: What is a second drawback of the product?

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

Question: What did they order the item for?

This foundation is decent, but nothing outstanding. We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed. It arrived in a compact package (although I think the reference to a "small parcel" in the description is exaggerating). It assembles fairly quickly and easily and seems relatively supportive. The problem is that the materials themselves feel very cheap. The wood was already chipped and appears like it won't last long (compared to a typical box spring). Depending on your situation, this may be more convenient or affordable, but I think most people would be equally if not better off with an inexpensive box spring.
