Question: How many bagless vacuums did the reviewer own in one year?

I was always told that Eureka was a good brand and I loved the features of this vacuum! It was cheap enough so I bought it online from walmart for $99 plus shipping since this model is only avalible online. I purchased it 6 months ago and the first month was great, I actually loved it. After that first month it's usless! If you have ANY kind of sand or dirt in your carpet, it will do nothing than toss it back at your feet and spread it around. I thought if I cleaned all the filters it would help, it didn't. The duster spinner is also useless, doesn't even suck the dirt off of that!Don't waste your time or money on this one, spend the extra $ and get something good! In my opinion, a vacuum with a bag. I have had 3 bagless vacuums in a years time and every one of them you have to get the dirt on your hands at some point in time weather if it's cleaning the filter(s) and or the bucket that holds the dirt that just flys everywhere and you have to vacuum that area again! I will be buying a bagged vacuum cleaner from now on!!

Question: How does the writer get the cooked cupcakes out with metal muffin pan?

I have never baked with Silicone before, and was curious to see how well it does.I made cupcakes in my Freshware pan. When you place it in the oven you need to put it on a flat baking sheet or pan.My cupcakes cooked evenly and were super easy to pop out by using my fingers to push the bottom of each muffin cup. So much easier than trying to bang them out by turning the pan upside, which is what I have to do with my metal muffin pan.Clean up was super quick and easy. I am now going to start buying silicone pans for all of my baking. Much easier to use, and my baked goods will stay in one piece (no struggling to get them out of their pan)

Answer: bang them out by turning the pan upside

Question: What did this person buy?

I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. I watched her show occasionally and I like her and some of her ideas although I am not a devoted follower.I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. I have stainless steel cookware and compared to my stainless steel pots this is functional and easy to clean. The oval shape is easier to handle compared to a big round tall pot, the dome shaped lid allows more cooking flexibility, it conducts heat well and Anolon makes quality cookware. I also purchased the 5-quart Oval Saute pan and the lids are inter-changeable. This is great for the times you don't need a lid that is domed and taller, has a vent, and you need to see the dish you are cooking.I like the looks of this line better than her other line with the safety orange handles. That line has the same pot with a flatter glass top with no vent and it is called an 8-quart oval stock pot.I watched the price for a while before I made a purchase. The price on this pot went up and down; as high as $99.00 and as low as $66.88. A friend who is a longtime Amazon shopper suggested putting it in my cart and waiting until it hit a good price to purchase it I did, I got it at a good price and I am happy.So this is a great pot heavy duty and cleans easy. If you are a Rachel Ray fan but not into her line of pots with handles the same color of orange construction cones this is a great choice.

Question: How does it indicate that it is charged?

This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery. There is a blue light indicator on the top that shows you how much battery is left. The battery itself charges in I think about 3 hours and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use. When using the vacuum, I get a lot of time with it on one charge and as I said, it hardly loses suction, if any at all until the very very end. It's hard to measure just how long it lasts, because it is substantial time. It's very handy in so many ways and pretty versatile. Compared to other handheld cordless vacuums, this is top notch. I had a green one (I believe it was a Shark brand) that was just awful. Practically immediately lost its charge and suction and took forever to charge. Also it was very clunky, so I ended up just throwing it out. While this Hoover vacuum is more expensive than others, it was well worth the investment. It will last and it out performs the competition. I have a dog who sheds all the time. This vacuum takes care of that fur on the couch and car seats in no time. I love it and I'm glad that I purchased it. I highly recommend it.

Question: How many watts?

I put the ice and the margarita stuff in the container, twisted and - I kid you not - about 3-4 seconds later I had a blended margarita. That's the fastest full blend I've ever had. And it stopped on its own for me as well. I did it side by side with the Bella version of this product (which I love) and it is about a second or two faster. The 900 watts shines.I also used this with a smoothie - and here is why I'm only going four stars - and the height of the blades was difficult to use with a full cup. I had to take some of the fruit and ice out to make the base go on. This isn't a problem with other brands. But Ninja always has the blade issue on blenders or these bullet-like devices. I get that it chops great but with the high profile you get smaller cups.I'm super happy with this product and would recommend it in a heart beat for mixing drinks and making smoothies. But if you want to fill the whole cup with smoothie or something harder (like bananas) it doesn't fit.

Answer: 900

Question: What should you do after you plug it in?

We needed this to smooth out the table skirts of our retail booth at craft shows and festivals. The first time I used it, I was setting up the booth while it heated up — and it went off like a tea kettle except instead of whistling, it began spewing hot water! As you plug it in, keep a close eye on it so this doesn't happen to you.It worked well to get the wrinkles out. Not great, not instantly, but with enough passes over the heavy fabric, most of the wrinkles fell away.

Answer: keep a close eye on it

Question: From where should you recycle lids?

Don't waste your money. Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing. They leak less than these and are free. If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. I will grant that these are pretty and white and don't have a food name embossed on them. But they are for storing stuff, so who is really going to see it? I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. I use recycled lids or canning lids for everything else.

Question: What doesn't the fan move around adequately.

PROS: Compact, quiet, nice color, OK Ionizor, remote, easy to useCONS: blow power on high setting is weaker than my old fan on low setting, doesn't move air around as adequately as I'd hoped in a small room (direct air is satisfying at best), blue/green light is too bright at night (had to stick tape over my lights to dull the glow.Ultimately, the weak blowing power is what's making me put this back in the box. You can feel the air but when that 85-100+ degree heat starts warming things up, the air from this just isn't enough and I have to plug in my old fan to dry up that first thin layer of sweat. I suggest looking elsewhere if you live in primarily hot areas.UPDATE 12/27/12:I was going to return this but ended up taking it to work instead. It works MUCH much better in larger, mildly air conditioned rooms. It pushes the air around alot better keeping it cooler. I'm glad this didn't turn out to be a waste afterall. The only complaint I have is that you have to be standing about six feet from the unit to get the unit to respond to the remote.

Question: how do you open the canister on this vacuum cleaner?

This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. First of all is the new canister. Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. This feature allows you to empty it easier and with less mess. The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. While the weight is a touch heavy, the suction power is good and makes up for it. Overall, I am very pleased with this vacuum.

Question: What brand of throw has the reviewer been using for years?

I just received my Pinzon throw today. This is my first review out of hundreds of products I have bought from Amazon or elsewhere. First of all it is throw size, not a blanket. I have been using a Liz Claiborne throw for years that was very soft and very big. It was also in boring beige. I bought the red color to give my chair a little spice. The color is gorgeous. A true jewel red. It is even softer and thicker while feeling a little lighter than my big LC throw. Maybe due to the smaller size. I had read other reviews that said it smelled and must be washed immediately. It did not smell but I thought I should wash it first, according to previous reviews. It says to wash it separately, well I didn't do that ,but I did wash it with other red items and a few white rags, and other items I was willing to risk. It came out of the wash without leaving any color on even the white items. It came out of the dryer nice and fluffy. I just remember I forgot the dryers sheets. Buy it for yourself and others. Can't beat the red color for a Christmas gift. Leave the boring beige for another purchase.

Question: How much of the apple does it work on?

I'm not supposed to have apple skins anymore. Believe it or not, they make me sick. So much for 'an apple a day.' So I thought I'd give this peeler a try. First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that. Only problem is, there's a good third of the apple that it can't peel. Apples are basically round, and the blade on this can only follow that curvature for so long before it's just ineffective. So I gotta use a knife to peel away the third that this machine can't. Well, that just creates an extra step and extra mess, and takes up extra counter space for a product that only does 2/3 of the job I need it to do. If I gotta peel 1/3 of my apples by hand, then I may as well peel the whole thing. Sent this thing back, pronto.

Question: how long do you have to recharge it?

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

The new dustbuster models are now just cheap knock offs of the original great machines. Black and Decker in their attempt to make a higher profit by cheapening a previously great product, destroyed a really good thing. I strongly recommend the Eureka below:Eureka Quick Up Cordless 2 in 1, 96Hproduct.

I have always kept a dustbuster in my kitchen for quick clean ups. They are always charged. Not with this new 18 volt model. Not only does is not have much suction power, you can't keep the battery plugged in so it is always charged and ready to go. If you don't use it for 4-5 days, the charge depletes! So then you have to recharge it for <hl> 14-16 hours. <hl> Not convenient at all. So I returned the dustbuster. I then ordered a Eureka that works great and can be left plugged in, permanently.

Question: Why is it easy for the writer to clean the kettle?

I like this kettle, even with its minor flaws. I have very small hands, so its easy for me to clean. However, I'm the only one in my household who can get their hands inside this pot. The lid must be removed to pour. Yes, really. Very klutzy person here, and I'm afraid of having issues removing said lid to pour boiling water, so the lid just gets set on, not pushed in. My favorite thing about this pot is that it's glass, and I can see when the water is at the proper temp, just at the beginning of boil. It also doesnt seem to attract build up as quickly either.

Question: What type of coffee drink does the author prefer?

We have two of these. One at home and one we use in our RV and cabin. They both work great, We like the choice of coffees and the quick service we get when orgering coffee from Amazon. We have found out that we can buy coffe at Targets and Bed, bath & Beyond, so we're never out. Maybe not the cheapist way to get your coffee fix, but far cheaper that going to starbuck's shops and the product is just as good. I like the Late's and have not notiuced a chemical taste as was noted. You do have to watch the dates on the milk containers.

Question: What did the previous reviews say about assembly?

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

Question: what occasion was this cooker received?

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

Question: Describe the finish of the Black and Blum Fruit Loop according to this buyer.

I am very happy with the Black and Blum Fruit Loop. It is very well made, has a shiny chrome finish which, coordinates beautifully with my stainless steel kitchen appliances, and is very pretty to look at. It holds 5 or 6 apples easily, and can fit other types of fruit. It is a very modern take on a fruit bowl, but it functions very well as one. It has become a conversation piece in my kitchen because it is so unique and pretty. And it goes very well with my contemporary kitchen. I received mine in a timely fashion. If you are looking for a very modern, unique fruit bowl, then this is for you. I highly recommend it.

Question: What is the better choice?

I purchased this air mattress and the Intex Nylon Flocked Queen air mattress. I think for the pricing difference this less expensive Pillow Rest Queen air mattress is the better choice than the more expensive Flocked mattress. Both worked well, needed a little more air added after a few days, both inflate and deflate quickly. I have owned other air mattresses in the past, low profile instead of the high profile of these two. BEWARE that the higher profile air mattresses allow more body heat to escape than the low profile, so be sure to insulate with blankets under you as well as over you if you are sleeping in cold conditions.

Question: What company makes the Green Earth Wok?

"The heat will not spread evenly" when my 80 year old Chinese grandmother first saw this wok and she was right.When you're using this Wok on an electric stove the heat is completely concentrated at the bottom, so things get super hot, stuck, and then eventually burn at the bottom.I eventually got a Green Earth Wok by Ozeri. I know it doesn't come with a lid and it is more expensive but that Wok lets me have the electric burner running with red hot coils and not burn my food at the bottom. With Chinese cooking you need heat and this one from Cuisinart doesn't spread it evenly.

Question: How many BTUs is the unit?

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 was this item a part of

I attempted to screw this into a glass base and it wouldn't screw all the way down tight. Instead there was a gap where if you shook the glass with base, the metal blades would clang around. It has to be tight in order for the gasket to seal the liquids in the glass container. My first (and last) attempt in blenderizing with this product resulted in liquid squirting from the base all over the blender and counter top.This is a knock-off of the original Osterizer part. I thought it was an authentic Oster part when I placed my purchase. I should become policy of Amazon to demand knock-off information on the product page as a warning.I am learning that you must be very careful when you purchase anything on Amazon. It has cost me a lot to have my head in the sand about these things.

Question: What model is it?

As far as steamers go, this must be one of the best. Long cord, easy to fill with water, steam in 30-seconds, two levels of steam, even distribution of steam, light weight, no hand pumping, swivel head for tight spots, pad attaches easily. If the one I have were to break, I would probably get another SI-60 just like the one I have now.All that being said; I mop twice after first sweeping and vacuuming the floor. First mop is with a sponge mop that has a squeeze type ringer and a bristle scrub brush on the flip side; I do use a floor cleaning product in the hot water. Then I go over the floor with the steam mop. When I get done the floor looks good and I think its clean. I was not satisfied using the steam mop alone.

Question: What material is it made from?

I've been using this product for six months. I bought it after I saw the bottom of my old aluminum surface rice cooker where some area are scratched and chipped after many years of use -- I wonder where the extra aluminum material went!?! This comes with great stainless steel inside cooker (thick bottom). Easy to clean, just soak in water and brush it later. I ordered most of my online purchases through Amazon and they haven't disappoint me yet.Update 05-2014:Still working great after a couple of years. Just keep the steamer basket in a safe place. I bought this primarily for cooking rice but one time I was looking for a steamer when I remembered that this rice cooker came with it. Since then, I used the steamer basket several times and it was like an extra bonus for me. (either steaming while cooking rice or just by itself with water in the bottom).

Question: Why is the quesadilla maker easy to clean?

I didnt realize when I bought this, but you can only use 10 inch tortillas with this. I can find them at the store easily, but keep this in mind if you decide to buy. Anything smaller is a disaster (especially if you are using cheese)When using 10 inch tortillas, this quesdilla maker seals the edges when you close and lock the lid, and makes little pocket triangles. The quesadillas are delicious! It took some practice getting the cheese amount right as if you use too much it will seep out the edges, but once you get it down you wont be able to put the quesadilla maker away! I love using it with leftover chicken or steak and throwing something together. I make breakfast quesadillas all the time too with salsa, cheese and egg. I cant get enough!Another thing to keep in mind with this, is the plates do not come off. It is very easy to clean as it's nonstick, but it doesnt come apart. I always clean right after using to avoid anything getting crusted on. No dishwasher for this quesadilla maker.

Question: What year did the author's first Kitchen Aid stop working?

The first KitchenAid stand mixer I had was inherited from my mom and dad and they got it for their wedding in 1956. It finally pooped out on me in 2001. That beauty had steady hard work from the beginning with my mom and it continued to work hard for me at least twice a week until it expired. I was gifted with a new one that same week (*whew! Would have felt lost and had sore arms without it) and it's in storage, so I bought this one a few weeks ago I'm back, baby, I'm back!So far, I've only used it for cakes, cookies, etc. haven't tried any of the attachments, that will be soon. Unbelievable array of attachments/equipment, these mixers do SO much more than just mix my cookies! I will be grinding meat, but also whole fresh oranges and nuts and dried fruit with the meat grinder attachment. Pasta with the pasta attachment, and I haven't begun to explore the rest of the goodies!

Question: How much does it cost them to refill the tank?

This is a substantial piece of brass! I realize it's WAY over priced. Everyone is looking to make a buck off the Sodastream bandwagon, it seems. But once you look past the price gouging, it IS worth it. I'm finding that in our area, the price of CO2 seems to be higher than other reviewers. It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod. Just bite the bullet and get it.

Answer: $6

Question: Will it work on an electric range?

This is the standard by which grill and griddle pans should be measured. This is my third stove-top grill/griddle, and I think this one will probably last me until the day I die.It's made of extremely heavy cast iron, comes pre-seasoned from the factory, and is a dream to use on my electric range. It heats very evenly, although you need to give it time....something this heavy takes a while to heat.Clean up is a breeze. Just grab a stiff nylon brush, and scrub it underneath some hot water (no soap or detergent please). If you have some heavy food accumulation, just heat it with some water on the surface, let it come to a boil, and then scrub. It's gone in a jiffy. Finish by drying with a paper towel and wiping the cooking surface with a bit of oil. It's ready for next time.The only con I can see is that it may be a bit heavy to handle for someone who is delicate. As another reviewer said, I would hate to drop it on my foot! Other than that, it's perfect, easily the best pan of this type I have had the pleasure of using.

Question: Does the device work well for printouts?

I use a lot of recipes from the internet, and this is the ideal way to store those print out sheets of paper. Before, I would just bring my laptop into the kitchen. The problem with that was that if I wanted to use that recipe again later, (usually for me, months later), I would forget exactly which site and recipe I had used. This is also excellent for those printed out recipes that I get from friends and family. I love it, and am much more organized with this in my kitchen. By the way, it is very solid and stands sturdy. My only concern is that when I have used all 26 pages, I don't think Umbra offers refill pages.

Question: How does the reviewer describe the grinder?

I bought one of these at Kohl's on 12/27/11. It worked just fine but stopped working by February, so I exchanged it at the store. I only used it when I found 2 pound bags of Starbuck's French Roast at T.J. Maxx for $14.99 and would grind a partial bag at a time. Probably no more than a half hour's use since then but when I ground up some in advance last week, I'm guessing the motor overheated and seized up. It's in the trash now. I'd recommend using this light-duty grinder for no more than a few ounces of beans at a time.

Question: What was the speed of delivery?

I'm using it in front of the kitchen sink and it works well. It is indeed easy to clean - spills wipe right off which means it should last longer than the cheap slice rugs I've been using which just can't be cleaned up. My only issues with it are that it's not particularly comfortable to stand on and the color is much more golden than pictured. I would have preferred a dark color. It's not uncomfortable but is totally flat, giving no support or relief. But overall I'm pleased. And it came very quickly. It was rolled up but laid out flat just fine.

Answer: quickly

Question: What is the only way to dry this out quickly?

Though it is suitable for use as a throw, or to sit upon at an outdoor event, this is not a very absorbent towel. One is not likely to get dry very quickly, unless intense sunlight is the primary source. I have found it useful to place on upholstered chairs during hot weather, and, since it is light, it is easy to carry if one is planning to sit on the grass for an outdoor concert or picnic. It has little absorbency, and, even after washing, a rather irritating surface. I do not recommend it as a bath towel, though it could be a pretty sarong if one is using it after swimming.

Question: How much bacon does the cooker hold?

I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price. It's much more convenient than the ones on which you have to put each slice vertically in a slat. The fat does drip off adequately; and it is dishwasher friendly, if you wipe it with a paper towel first. As with all microwave bacon cookers, the fat does pop and splatter through the microwave, but you have to leave it uncovered for maximum crispness. It cooks and cleans well. After a while, it seems to lose its finish, turn brown, as if burned, and then does not clean as well or cook as evenly. I had the last one for 5 years and make bacon a couple of times a month, even if only a slice to crumble on a salad. It didn't get heavy use, but certainly I feel that I got my money's worth. The bacon cooks, crisps, browns and stays flat nicely. You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. I'd recommend it, and obviously would buy it again.

Answer: about 7-8 slices

Question: Where is the backup wisk stored when not in use?

I sure hope it lasts though! There been alot of comments that these frothers break down after a short while or straight out of the box. My friend bought the capresso machine and it didnt work out of the box so it was returned. This one works beautifully do far, I love the feel of the machine. It feels like ceramic sorta, it has a nice weight to it. Love the design. I hope it lasts even though it has a warranty I'm assuming because we really enjoy this little machine. The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. This comes with 2 whisks but the little circle seems to fit one only, I guess you keep the other on the machine because your using it. Well I can't say enough about how great this machine is so far. I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine.

Question: What kind of material are they made from?

This review is for the green body pillow protectors. In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body, and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. Body pillows are especially useful in providing support for those who sleep on their sides and for pregnant women.The BlowOut Bedding pillow protectors are very nice. They're more soft and comfortable than I would have expected for 100% polyester. The hem-stitching is tight and uniform. My wife was impressed with the pillow protectors too, and she knows fabrics better than I do. (Her late father had a degree in textile engineering, and he felt compelled to pass on his knowledge of fabrics to her!) We washed the pillow protectors in cold water with a mild detergent, putting a white cotton towel in the washer to see if the color ran - it didn't. We tumble-dried the protectors in the dryer on medium heat with a fabric softener sheet, and they came out very soft and fluffy.We're both impressed with these pillow protectors.Note: On the label attached to the pillow protector, the washing directions appear to be for the pillow itself, not the pillow protector.A product sample was provided by the seller for review purposes.

Question: What is the weight of the man that I had sit in the chair in order to test its strength and comfortability?

These are great. They are very comfortable as they have a give to them that lets them almost form to you. Yet are strong enough to hold 1000 ponds. I had a 600 pound man sit in one and he said it was very comfortable for him and obviously did not break. I also have had people who are skinny and they have said it was the most comfortable folding chair they have sat in too.

Question: What pattern does the reviewer wish the sign came in?

I bought two of these for my dish drawers, they're perfect for keeping everyone in the house on the same page. Despite it being cardstock (basically thick paper/thin cardboard) they do not look like cardboard at all; I was concerned that the edges of the sign would be a different color and give the sign a cheap look, but I'm quite pleased with them in person as they actually look like plastic signs. They are also quite well constructed, the slider between clean and dirty works very smoothly and I fully expect them to last a good while.Really my only complaint isn't so much a complaint but more a request; these would be perfect if they came in a stainless steel pattern, or even a bit darker shade of silver so they blended into stainless steel more.

Question: what does the author definitely like about the napkin holder

This napkin holder from OXO is a really interesting and cool design. I have to admit that I've never quite seen a napkin holder like it, and it's uniqueness really adds something to an otherwise boring dinner table. I definitely like the feel of it too - it's weighted and so it feels substantial, yer retains its sleek look. When the napkins start to get low in the holder, the weighted arm does make it mildly difficult to neatly pull out napkins - perhaps this is a mild nit-pick which can be easily remedied by just re-filling the napkins. But otherwise, I quite like this napkin holder.

Question: What did they rate this?

Rated this a 3 because I love the tiny pepper mill but the salt mill, leaves a lot to be desired.The actual mill pieces for the salt mill are plastic and for the pepper mill, they are metal. I would much rather have two metal mills! The salt is used more and will most likely break first. Love them, love the look, disappointed with the company for cutting corners.UPDATE: I understand that the mill for the salt was plastic due to corrosion of metal pieces but I keep this at a three. The mills (notw that I have had them for awhile) are too small to be useful most of the time. They are cute and useful when you need an extra set on the table. That said, they are tiny and hard to use as your primary grinders. I still like them but I find my self looking at new ones every time I'm at the store.

Question: What happened when the shower curtain was washed?

pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub; the print is wearing off. I still like the shower curtain and will continue to use it.Update: Its been almost 7 months now and I threw this away.... its not the fault of the shower curtain, its my own. I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.
