Question: What brand of trays are more sturdier that the ice cube tray made from a mold?

So, I bought this mold, to use as an ice cube tray. Also to mould some fondant for my son's lego birthday cake. So far I've only used it as an ice cube tray. The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. This is VERY flimsy, the water was falling as I transferred it to the freezer. I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos, and my son loves it as well. But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer

Answer: ikea

Question: How many have been given away as gifts

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Question: What brand is the mug being advertised?

The Primula Double Wall Glass Mug with Tea Bag Buddy is such a simple idea that it's one of those you're surprised isn't commonplace these days. The lightweight, double-walled borosilicate glass mug keeps your tea warm, while the included tea bag buddy makes squeezing the bag much less uncomfortable (no more burning fingers) and gives you a place to put it for the time being. It makes a great gift to regular tea drinkers, and while I'm not about to say that it necessarily makes for a better cup of tea, it can make for a more convenient one.

Question: When did they buy this product?

I got this set about two weeks ago and figured I'd use all the pieces a bit before I wrote a review. I have to admit that my first impression of the set was pure joy. I had been using a ten-year-old Revereware set, good in its own right, but there were some things I disliked about the Revereware, mainly the fact that the bottoms did not make good contact with my stove burners (ceramic top). These pots and pans were so shiny right out of the box, so much heavier than I expected, and so obviously worth the money I paid for them, that I was thrilled. They are SO much heavier than expected. Not heavy in a bad way, like you can't lift them or anything. Just not cheap and easy to dent. I had never used a frying pan not coated in Teflon, and I was a little intimidated by the fact that these are not nonstick. Since this was the very reason I bought them (Teflon is evil) I decided to dive right in. This has been my experience so far, even though I can't comment on the overall longevity of the set at this time.*I love the finish. These are so pretty, I intend to get a pot rack and hang them for all to see!*The lids are awesome. Nice tight fit. I think they may even be weighted. I didn't want glass lids for breakage reasons, and the lids from my old pans had a lip that trapped moisture underneath. I was forever burning myself or dripping water all over the stove every time I lifted the lid to check something.*I chose this set over the Cuisinart set because of the three sizes of saucepans, which my old set had and I am used to.*Love the handles! I didn't think I would at first, but they really do stay cool and are grippy so you're less likely to drop a full pot when transferring it.*Easy to clean. I haven't tried frying an egg or anything, but I think for everything except eggs and pancakes these will be wonderful. I made pizza sauce in the larger fry pan and it cleaned up in a snap. I even melted chocolate and marshmallow for some cookies in the saucepans and those also cleaned up quite easily.Now for a couple things that could be better:*The set could have included a lid for the smaller fry pan. I assumed that the lid to the one of the saucepans would fit the smaller fry pan as well (my old set was this way) and was slightly disappointed to find that this is not the case.*One of the saucepans has some "pitting" on the inside bottom that was not there when I opened the box. Another reviewer mentioned this too. I tried cleaning it with baking soda and water as the instructions suggest, but no dice.*You must be very diligent about drying these IMMEDIATELY if you don't want water spots on them. I know that is the nature of the beast, my other stainless is the same, but it's a bummer. I want them fresh and shiny clean all the time, and they just don't look as nice if left to air-dry.Just some minor gripes. They were SO worth the money, especially since the price jumped fifteen bucks the day after I ordered them, and I got a forty dollar rebate to boot. I almost spent 3 times more on a much costlier set, but I suspect I would have been paying for the name. Of course KitchenAid is also a brand name, and a darn good one at that, (I am in love with my Artisan stand mixer) so why not the pots and pans set? After reading all the positives here on Amazon, I decided to try them and I'm so glad I did!

Question: What is the weight of the pan in general?

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.

Question: How many filters are in a sealed bag?

I brew a two-cup thermal mug of coffee every day of the week and sometimes twice on Sunday, and so I use a #2 filter every day, or even more. These filters are pure white, leave no paper taste, hold up well (important when you're dumping grounds) and have a nifty little finger tab that makes the filter easy to open. The best news is that 800 of them will last me more than two years before I have to find #2 filters again. They're in sealed bags of 100, and each bag has its own "zipper" seal. Two years won't be a problem, and the price is right.

Question: How deep was the hole the customer cut in the pillow

I really like a latex pillow. It gives you fluff and won't quit on you. Only thing is my ear feels squeezed and irritated. BUT, I found a way around that. I cut a 7" round cup in thecenter of the pillow, about an 1-1 1/2 deep ( easy to do ) and put it back together.This gives my ear a little place to rest; without feeling squeezed and it supports, my head. Good night sleep. This will only work on memory foam or latex pillows. And you can always turn it over, to avoid the hole.I also ordered the 'high fluff' one, to try it out. But, I likethe high fluff one. More head support and it stays fluffed up.The other one is for people who like to lie their head flat, witha little fluff.

Question: How does the user know when to refill the reservoir?

The iron is light-weight, so it is easy to handle and maneuver. Also, the instructions are very simple and understandable, which is nice given that the iron has many functions. The steam feature has many different uses, including an upright steam capability. There are three different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent, which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing. Overall, I am very happy with my iron as it is easy to use and does a great job.If I could change something about this iron, I would make the tip more narrow for increased precision. Also, it would be convenient if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use. Other than that, I am quite pleased!

Question: Which store should I go to check out other types of tea balls?

I should have listened to the negative reviews. I bought 2 of these; one was for my office and the other for my house. This tea ball is hideously cheap and I'm expecting it to snap apart any day now. The latch to close it seems dangerous. You can probably slice a piece of your finger off if you're not paying attention. The quality of the mesh seems cheap and I'm almost afraid it's some kind of cheap, dangerous metal and not something safe to be steeping in hot water. I should have taken the trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to be able to check out other types of tea balls before getting this model. I won't argue about the fact that it's big. It fits a lot of tea leaves in it. But its quality is lacking and there are definitely better ones out there.

Question: What should be used to trim the bent plastic stems?

At first this is a very versatile knife block that can hold many things. But over time the plastic stems start to bend and create clogs in the block due to repeated use by putting your knives in. Visually you won't notice any difference, but it will harder and harder to put your knives back into the knife block and the knives won't go in as far as it use to.The only way to fix this is to remove the plastic stems from the block itself and start trimming off the bent plastic stems with a wire cutter.It was fun while this block lasted but I'm going to look for a different product that can last longer than six months.

Question: what brand of product does the writer compare this product too?

I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers. It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks, like the canisters) It is easy to use. I use it for left overs more than marinating. It does marinate well, and it's a good sized container. It's flaws are that it can't be used in the microwave and you really can't take it and go, to a party for instance. It also isn't stackable with other marinators (I have two) and it takes up a lot of space in your cabinet. I put the lid upside down in the marinator bottom and stack them that way. The lid doesn't lock without the vacuum sealing, so once it's opened it isn't good for transporting if you're away from home, or moving the liquid left overs from the BBQ back to the kitchen without the threat of spilling. I would like to be able to take it from the refrigerator to the microwave to heat up leftovers or to a party with snacks and have the lid snap back on when it's time to go home or...... Maybe the next generation?????

The lid doesn't lock without the vacuum sealing, so once it's opened it isn't good for transporting if you're away from home, or moving the liquid left overs from the BBQ back to the kitchen without the threat of spilling. I would like to be able to take it from the refrigerator to the microwave to heat up leftovers or to a party with snacks and have the lid snap back on when it's time to go home or...... Maybe the next generation?????

I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other <hl> FoodSaver <hl> containers. It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks, like the canisters) It is easy to use. I use it for left overs more than marinating. It does marinate well, and it's a good sized container. It's flaws are that it can't be used in the microwave and you really can't take it and go, to a party for instance.

Question: What does the product require to work properly?

This is like a dense, dense cotton, or a very thin felt. It doesn't crinkle, and seems very sturdy. Easy to put on with 2 people-- doable with one. Slips on then zips on one end. I'd recommend this for anyone living in an apartment with a mattress they don't want to throw away-- even if you have heard nothing about bedbugs in your area. We were told to put it on after plagued with a small bug problem to "lock whoever is left, in-- and keep others out" (The apartment was also sprayed-- this product doesn't fix anything without help). Good precautionary idea and well as a reaction to an infestation.Aug 2012 update:We move across the country with this on our mattress. It's scuffed and a little rough looking, but didn't tear. Zipper still works-- it's holding up very well.

Question: What's the benefit of the etched star on the bottom of the glass?

I don't drink ale or beer very often (worse than ice cream for my weight) but when I do want to indulge as a treat or give a gift to a beer-lover, this is on the top of the list for a drinking glass. I always find ale and stout tastes better from a vessel shaped as this (and the etched star on the bottom allows bubbles to form on the micro-surfaces of the etching, and adds to the aroma and sensation.) It's also nice for Stella Artois (a lager), local crafted ales and Pils (Pilsner) if you can find a good one.

Question: What product is the reviewer writing about?

The reviewers that said this product broke or has poor quality must have gotten a lemon.I bought this oven 7 years ago at Macy's not knowing how it will perform and it just died on me this weekend. I used it nearly everyday. It has many great features such as multiple settings and temperature ranges, two stackable shelves (top and bottom), and a bottom tray that collects bits of food for easy cleaning.The product is durable to say the least and looks great. The thing that I love about it is that it actually have a lot of room but isn't that large for smaller counter tops. Looking at newer toaster ovens I've noticed that most are too large and bulky.I loved this toaster oven and am seriously considering getting another since I was so happy with it for so long.

Question: What style of cookie sheets dissapointed the reviewer?

Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). The different styled sides makes this sheet perfect.Two sides of this pan are raised which makes it so easy to pick-up while the other sides are flat making it easy to remove baked food. My 'testing' of this pan is over and I'm planning on purchasing another.

Question: What brand is the 7-slot?

I have two of these - one 7-slot and one 14-slot tray - and the two together fit perfectly in my kitchen drawer and hold all of my knives and honing steel. My 14-slot-tray is Wusthof, and the 7-slot is Victorinox. They are made very similarly, but the Victorinox seems to hold the knives a little better. My larger chef's and santoku knives fit better in the Victorinox, where in the Wusthof they seemed like they didn't "seat" well in the slots.Overall, this is very well made and is exactly as described. It seems to be high-quality wood, and looks very nice in the drawer. I've had several compliments on them already, and have only had them for a short time.If you're looking for a way to organize your knives in a drawer instead of a butcher block, then you don't have to look any further.Just be sure to check the dimensions to make sure it fits in your drawers! (both length, width, and height!)

Question: How much was the trashcan?

After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. No regrets. Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. It's fun to see when your friends come over and watch their face as the trash can opens. I've had two grown men friends sitting there playing with the trash can. That in itself is reason enough to get it. Occasionally I walk by and it opens on its own but no big deal. I don't really use the on/off button or even the open/close button. Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen!!Another great purchase from amazon!!

Question: how far does the rack stick out?

This over the door towel rack consists of a white backboard piece and three chrome towel racks. It couldn't be easier to put together. There are three different size towel racks. There is a small, medium and large rack. Simply slide the rack through the holes on the backboard and snap it into place. Be sure to put the largest rack at the bottom, medium size in the middle and the small rack at the top. Once complete you are ready to hang it. It's easy enough to open your door and slide the hook over the top and that's all there is to it. The problem is that my door can't fully shut because it sticks out so far. I would say that it sticks out a total of about 5 inches so it will hit the wall long before the door will hit the doorstop. We have to be careful not to swing the door open too fast or it will hit and leave a big dent in the wall. At first I thought well maybe it's just our door but I would think it would be the same with pretty much any door. The hook at the top holds it firmly against the door so it doesn't bounce around or make noises. Depending on your door it might take a little extra effort to close it though. It seems very solid and not fragile at all. Our interior doors are white and it blends in perfectly with white doors. It makes the white backboard hardly noticeable. On the other hard I'm not sure how it would look against a natural wood colored door.Overall I think this towel rack is well made and looks nice. My only problem is how far it sticks out. The smallest rack is no problem but the largest of the racks is just a little too big in my opinion.

Question: What hurts the reviewer when using the product?

Bought this six years ago to use instead of the under-cabinet one that was already installed in my kitchen. The under-cabinet one was better at unscrewing a lid, but occasionally the jar would slip out of the vice and my hand would get pinched. Well, this OXO opener proved to be a disaster in every way. Like other reviewers noted, it doesn't secure well enough to the lid, slips off the lid, and hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar. I'm surprised no one has sued the company for manufacturing this awkward, uncomfortable, dangerous product.

Question: What safety features does this product have?

I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3(?) I have which is exactly the same otherwise. My 1500 watt Costco bought $199. unit (which I assumed would adjust wattage as I adjusted the heat level)just didn't. It runs at an average 1350 watts no matter what (using kill-a watt meter). So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts. A remote that works out of the box would also be helpful! Heat varies according to space requirements.Don't expect fast hot heating under 52 degrees. Best feature is its safety and non off gassing and non oxygen depleting features. Oh, a five year warranty.

Question: What brand is it?

I purchased two of these dredges to keep salt and pepper handy on my stovetop. I am very happy with that decision, and am planning to buy several more for sugar, seasoned salts, and other spices. This item is solid and well-manufactured; the tops screw on easily and fit snuggly. It is important to note that these dredges are made of POLISHED stainless steel and are shinier (and more attractive) that the photo suggests. I only gave this item four stars because Winware does not seem to make interchangeable tops with larger holes for their stainless steel dredges like they do for their plastic dredges. I would like to be able to use the stainless dredges for Splenda, dried parsley, etc.

Question: How long does it take to bake a chicken breast on a Foreman grill?

I have no clue if this product existed before George Foreman put his name on it. I'd assume so, but I'm not sure. Whatever the case, the Foreman grill has become a staple in most kitchens around the world. It cooks any meat within 5 minutes, perfectly every time. How can you go wrong? If you oven bake a chicken breast, for example, it takes 30-45 minutes.George Foreman added to his legacy by putting his name on this fantastic product. Old times will always know him as a great fighter, but generations to come will know him as the guy who's name is on this incredible kitchen device. Way to go George!

Question: What is one of the negatives of this food processor?

I've gone through several food processors in the past few years, and this is by far the best I have ever used. The 12 cup capacity is the perfect size in my opinion: it's large enough to puree large batches of soups, but small enough to be practical to mince up a few cloves of garlic (especially with the mini bowl attachment).I haven't found anything this device can't do. I've liquefied onions for sauces, pureed soups, made doughs, etc, and this thing has taken care of them all. The only downside is that this base of the device is pretty darn hefty...but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful. I used to drag it out of the cabinets each time I needed it, but now I just keep it out on my counter--it's pretty enough to be on display, and useful enough to make its presence there practical.

Question: what do they like most about the whisk?

I rarely use a whisk (mostly when I am preparing a béchamel sauce), but I invest in quality kitchen tools and this is just that.The construction is exceptional. This is not some cheap whisk that has a loop at the end holding the wires together - its floating wires are the key to whipping sauces, eggs and other related food preparation tasks.Wires are medium gauge: not too stiff nor too flexible. This feature is important to me because I use basic tools instead of specialized ones. Some friends have four or five different types of whisks - I make do with this one and it does everything I need from a whisk.The 10" size has worked for every food preparation task - large or small - for which I've used it. If you are going to own just one whisk this is a good size for multi-purpose use.What I most love is the handle. It is as though it was designed perfectly for my hand because the diameter reduces fatigue when you are using it briskly over a medium heat and cannot stop or risk ruining a sauce.Cleaning it is also easy because of the wire design. I place mine in a dish rack after cleaning and allow it to air dry after a few towel wipes.I view mine as an investment in both quality and function.

Answer: the handle

What I most love is the handle .

I rarely use a whisk (mostly when I am preparing a béchamel sauce), but I invest in quality kitchen tools and this is just that. The construction is exceptional. This is not some cheap whisk that has a loop at the end holding the wires together - its floating wires are the key to whipping sauces, eggs and other related food preparation tasks. Wires are medium gauge: not too stiff nor too flexible. This feature is important to me because I use basic tools instead of specialized ones. Some friends have four or five different types of whisks - I make do with this one and it does everything I need from a whisk. The 10" size has worked for every food preparation task - large or small - for which I've used it.

Question: Does it have a clock function?

The only issue I have with this, is it beeps (and loudly too) every time you push a button. If you hit the button to change the time or temp it beeps, it beeps when it's hit the preheat temperature, it beeps when you hit start or stop, it's crazy.I did order another rack for about $16 from the customer support number. I love everything but the beeps, it can handle a frozen pizza (just turn it half way through the cooking time). Heats up quick and even, timer is accurate but does not double as a clock. Lots of room without taking up a lot of counter space. Could use a longer cord now that I think about it. Good buy for the money though.

Question: What did the writer get this tool to ascertain?

I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond. I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats. Then I used the scale to weigh the stone. It weighed 3.4 carats, meaning that it's cubic zirconia, which has a specific gravity much higher than that of a diamond.Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it.By the way, this scale is quite small and light, can use several different units of measure, and arrived with batteries installed and ready for the calibration to be tested and the scale to be used.

Question: how long has the reviewer used the product?

I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year, and it still looks brand new. The bristles have not bent or fallen out. It fits into the hand nicely, and is easy to use. The bristles are stiff enough to take care of business, but not so stiff that they rip up the skins on the vegetables. Because the bristles are not harsh, I also use the brush on my hands to clean off ground-in dirt or paint. Best of all, I can pop it into the dishwasher and restore it to germ-free cleanliness. I am very satisfied with this product.

Question: What part of the lid gets extremely warm, unlike its counterpart on the pot?

This is a beautiful pan to look at and easy to use. The handle on the pot does not get hot, but the handle on the lid sure does. All that means is a hot pad to take the lid off.The pan is somewhat heavier than single ply pans but the evenness of heating is worth the extra weight. We use it on an electric ceramic cook top so the flatness of the bottom of the pan is critical.All-Clad recommends warming the pan up gradually and not using any more than medium heat with the pan. We have tried to follow those instructions and the pan has done an excellent job.

Question: What does he dislike about the product?

This induction cooktop cuts down on boiling time about half from what it takes on my electric range. No complaints there. The problem for me with this cooktop is its incessant beeping. You take a pot off the surface from where it's been boiling to pour some water into your cup, and it beeps immediately until you put it back down. It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm" instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. Some days I move slowly, and get beeped/yelled at a lot by this cooktop. It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. I'd rather get a different induction cooktop that's a bit friendlier and doesn't beep at me so much.

Question: what do they want their pan to be?

The good thing is they are cheap for 2. The bad thing is the coating wears off. I have the 12 inch in storage... too large to use daily. But the 10 inch coating has worn off and is chipping off. I need to throw this away... dangerous to injest this coating. My husband is not wanting me to toss the pan at the end of it's lifespann but I know it is not safe to eat from this now that it is chipping and peeling. What else works other than stainless steel? I want a durable pan that LASTS. I will use it 1-3 times a day. I like the idea of nonstick. Might have to go back to stainless steel.

Question: What kept falling off the dispenser and had to be discarded?

I, too, bought this dispenser so that I could easily refill my three cats' bowls each day. While this dispenser is attractive, functional and air-tight, it is too small to hold a week's worth of food and I have to hold my hand next to the opening to keep the triangular-shaped food from being shot across the counter.After less than a year, I had to discard it because the rubber seal on the bottom kept falling off.

Question: What happens when the water boils?

i wanted an electric kettle, but landed up ordering this as i thought this was multi-functional and could be used to boil eggs etc as well. While it is muli-functional; 2 biggest irritatiosn are:- it has to be plugged out - i cannot just press a button for it to stop heating. I literally has to be plugged out. That reduces the functionality and safety of this product. bit of an irritation in a busy kitchen.- it leaks... within one week of using it, I noticed it leaks water while boiling and also leaks if there is any water left in it... Cleaning mess adds to the list instead of reducing it...

Question: How does the frame feel?

There's really not much more to add to the other favorable reviews. It was delivered quickly. The frame is light, easy to move, simply secure a few wing nuts, and connect the two frames (if for a larger bed) and you're good to go.Having looked far and wide for affordable platform beds (which were much more expensive - and often difficult to assemble) I went with this basic model... no wood siding, no headboard - but that's ok by me - and for a fraction of the priceIt doesn't look "bad" with just the mattress on it eitherThe mattress fits securely, the frame feels EXCEPTIONALLY strong and secure. I just followed others advice since this is going on hard wood and added some felt furniture/floor savers (no noise from the footings - though it may allow the frame to slide on the wood floor more than I'd like now - if that's the case I'll replace them with small rubber footings)

Question: What is the purchaser's only gripe about the fryer?

When I first opened the box with this "fryer" inside, I was a littleintimidated! The round, ball-like control panel looked bulky anddifficult to handle. In reality, the ease of operation was quitegood. So far, I have "fried" chicken that came out great - crispyon the outside and moist on the inside. I also used this cooker tomake "fried" potatoes. Again, I experienced very good results. Atthis time, I definitely recommend this procut. I gave it 4 out of 5stars only because it is bulky to store. I have yet to find a placefor it in my kitchen, so it is currently in my storage room.

Question: Besides carpet, what flooring material does the author also use this on?

I have several problems with my arms. It is extremely difficult for me to usean traditional upright vacuum/or a canister type style; where you have to pushand pull with your arms. I invested in an iRobot vacuum; which at first wasjust the ticket. Then it started having issues, EVERY single time I'd use it.And it was rather a pain to go through all the "steps", to try & find the problem.And it keeps beeping at you; and driving you NUTS !!So, for the price; I decided to try this VERY lightweight little upright.For me....it's the BEST EVER. My arm can handle the little bit of weight,and it had better suction than I ever thought it would. Now, I have only tile,and low pile carpet. So, for me this works excellent. I'm not sure itwould work as well on high pile carpet. I LOVE IT....and will buy another onewhen the time comes. Eureka has been a trusted name in vacuums for years !!

Question: What brand is the sugar keeper from?

Just received the Progressive International Powdered Sugar Keeper and am so glad I did! Powdered sugar is always messy (for me at least) regardless of how I've stored it in the past. This keeper is the perfect size for a standard box of powdered sugar with a little room on top to scoop out without it spilling over the top. It is well made, the seal is airtight and having the shaker built in is great!I've just recently discovered the Progressive line and am really happy with all their products so far.

Question: What brand vacuum did the person finish using?

Look, to tone down those who say that the bag is not HEPA, 'reality check' nowhere on the bag does it say HEPA. I have used these bags and for the price they are great. As one reviewer states "It's good to have inexpensive cloth instead of the paper" AMEN. I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace, my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! For the money, Highly Recommended.
