Question: What is a bit small on the holder?

love this product; set up was sooooo easy; no screws at all, just follow the instructions step by step, takes about 20 mins to finish; soooo light and so portable. I put it to use last nite after a load of laundry; saw some minor flaws...1. due to it being so light, when you hang heavy towels, it feels like it could tip, so you'll have to balance the other side with another similarly heavy towel or garment2. the sock clips are a great idea, but they're made of plastic, I broke one already during installation3. space between each rail on the individual racks are a bit small, but manageableoverall, nice product

Answer: space between each rail

Question: What is the only complaint?

We had previously used a "cold air" humidifier but it made the room too cold so I tried this one. It works perfectly. My only complaint is that you have to constantly refill it. We can barely make it through the night on one tankful. Otherwise, it works great and I recommend it.

Question: What is a quality of the handle?

These are decent teaspoons for a reasonable price. Ultra simple style. The handle has an upward tilt at the end for easy gripping. I recommend these for stirring coffee/tea and for eating cereal. IMO, they're too small for soup or other heartier dishes, mainly because the handle is relatively short and the "eating" portion somewhat shallow (although not narrow/small). My 5 y/o son uses them with ease. They are not flimsy at all yet not too heavy. The finish is highly polished/mirror, which does show some scratches. I've run them through the dishwasher with Finish Power Ball detergent tabs with good results.

Question: What falls from the author's car window?

Cool idea. It helps keep the sponge out of the sink plus off the back of the sink. There needs to a pretty flat area of sink to put this on in order for it to stay best. If your sink is too curved it may not stay stuck for long. Even if you do need to restick it now and then though, I wouldn't count that as a deal breaker. It's just something that happens with suction cups. Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. It still does the job, just needs to be put back up. All in all I am content with the cradle and would buy it again.

Question: what is the author able to limit the use of

I needed a good window fan to keep the air moving in my country cottage. I am able to limit the use of A/C if I have a means for proper ventilation. This fan satisfies that need.It was fairly easy to install but still required a bit of ingenuity as the side panels were a bit of a challenge. They will slide but be patient because they will also break if forced. The fan is very quiet, emitting a hum rather than a roar when running at full speed.I will leave the fan in the window for the entire season so I will not have to struggle with the side panels again until it is time to remove it.

Question: Is the reviewer's husband healthy or disabled?

I am so very, very happy. I have been looking all over for a "large hole" grater for potatoes. This grater is so fast and easy to use and since its stainless steel is cleans up with a snap. I make hash browns every morning for my disabled husband and have tried all types of graters but just couldn't find the size I wanted or needed. When I came across this I checked the size and counted the holes and figured I'd give it one last try. This grater fits my needs 100% and not only does it do a wonderful job on potatoes but it made short work of a block of cheese I grated for baked mac & cheese. I am very satisfied with this purchase

Question: What would make the the box more efficient?

I love baking my own bread and needed something to help me cut the slices evenly. This item works for the most part, but the plastic end has warped which makes for an uneven cut. I would suggest making the end more sturdy and less susceptible to bend.

Question: Using what item will muffle the sound?

I needed a loud kitchen alarm that I can hear from another room. I liked that this model is capable of doing many hours too (which can be good for 24 hour fermenting on yogurt) or a several hours on a roast/turkey.The magnet on the back is robust enough to hold the heavy body weight up on the kitchen door or a metal panel. However, just be cautioned that using the magnet will muffle the loud volume somewhat. It is still very loud, but less loud when magnetized to the wall. I recommend if you need max volume use the stand on the back it projects the sound much better that way.I love this company. They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome. If you ever have issues with your product they are amazingly helpful.

Question: What type of lemons come from China?

The squeezer looks nice and sturdy, and has a good heft, which is good since you need to put a little bit of elbow grease into it to get your juice. I juiced a few limes and a couple of lemons last night with great results. After juicing a lime, it looked still pretty pulpy, and I was concerned that the squeezer had left behind some juice, but when I squeezed it by hand, I was only able to eek out a few more drops. The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out.Washed it up in the sink and it's all ready to go for the next cocktail party or batch of lemonade.No directions are included, but a quick search online gives you the definitive answer of which way to put your citrus in... Cut side down! Or up! ... Cut side down is what I used, which seems reasonable, since you want the juice to go down to the holes, and not squirt out the sides.Inexpensive, easy to use & clean, gets the job done.

Question: How long is the greek yogurt left to sit in the bowl?

I love this yogurt maker! Since I am making greek yogurt - I don't make it in the jars. Instead I bought a 7-cup pyrex bowl that fits perfectly in this maker. I let the yogurt make all night in this and then strain for about 3 hours in the Euro 2-Qt Gree Yogurt Maker. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1.I eat yogurt every day so usually make a batch and half every weekend.

Question: Can the shears be used by left handed people?

It's been a long time since I had a good pair of Kitchen shears and when these were offered, I jumped on them. They do everything from clipping chives to cutting out a chicken back. The handles are generous (even my husband can easily fit his fingers into them) and can be used by both righties and lefties with comfort.The other cool thing about these snips is they come apart for super easy cleaning. A simple twist and you can get to the dust, dirt and other grime that tends to hide between the blades. This feature alone give these scissors a huge boom compared to other brands.Would I recommend this snips to my friends and family. You bet I would (may even buy a pair for my daughters kitchen). Now that I have them, have no idea how I managed in the kitchen so long without them.

Question: What did this person order that wasn't intact?

I ordered these yesterday and got them today. All intact, no breakage at all, and exactly as described. Thank you Goodman's! These glasses are the best. They make a nice "rocks" glass for alcoholic beverages, but that's just the beginning. They're heavy, of fine quality (made in France, not China), and very versatile. They're called "working glasses" because of the well-fitting lids which turn them from a drinking glass into a nice storage container for the fridge. I make a big pot of homemade soup and spoon it into these glasses, cover them, and refrigerate till ready to use. Perfect one serving size. Great storage They feel good in your hand, and their style is classic. For the price, you can't go wrong. I've used them for many years, and was happy to be able to find replacements on Amazon. (They're sturdy, but GLASS. Accidents happen!)

Question: What did I finally use to clean the kitchen?

Maybe some of these machines are better than others? Like from a different factory? Because some people really love this thing. I read all the great reviews. Or maybe some jobs are not as dirty? I found it worked fine if the surface was not too dirty but for a real job, not so good. I could steam the tile in my bathroom, use a brush and a cloth and it looked nice. But the grout in my kitchen was a different matter and THAT was what I bought it for. My kitchen grout had become very stained and I figured I'd get it pretty and clean with this thing and then seal it. Good plan but it did not work, not even on my hands and knees and steaming and steaming and scrubbing with a brush. No joy. I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle! They have their own website and amazon should carry this but it does not. Yet...

Question: What is it the CALPHALON NYLON TURNER?

You can do all sorts of things with a CALPHALON NLYON TURNER (aka spatula): flip hamburgers, scrape grease off the bottom of a skillet, turn over pancakes on the stove, make a miniature trebuchet, fling food across a room, and pretend to sword fight with someone else in the kitchen who has a plastic spoon. This CALPHALON NYLON TURNER works great for any of these things and many other activities not mentioned for brevity sake. Occasionally someone might have an issue with a nylon turner with pieces of the plastic falling off. This means either one of three things: it is defective, you are pressing two hard while cooking/scraping skillets, or you are using this device in a substance and temperature that it was not designed. If it's defective, you should ask for a refund or exchange, but if you press too hard or use it in a substance and temperature that it was not designed to be used in, that's your own fault. My only complaint about this particular device is that it is a bit pricey.

If it's defective, you should ask for a refund or exchange, but if you press too hard or use it in a substance and temperature that it was not designed to be used in, that's your own fault. My only complaint about this particular device is that it is a bit pricey.

You can do all sorts of things with a CALPHALON NLYON TURNER (aka <hl> spatula <hl> ): flip hamburgers, scrape grease off the bottom of a skillet, turn over pancakes on the stove, make a miniature trebuchet, fling food across a room, and pretend to sword fight with someone else in the kitchen who has a plastic spoon.


Question: About how many drinks did he sell within three hours?

First things first – PLEASE make a machine that holds all three alcohols ! I would gladly pay $500.00 for that machine. My bother-in-law was having an open house party and was serving red or white wine only. We had recently purchased our machine but hadn’t had a chance to give it a full run so we volunteered to bring up our Drink Mixer . Because over 100 people had confirmed (75 showed up) and it takes about 30 sec. to flush out and change alcohols I elected to only use Tequila. And it’s a good thing I did that because I ended up serving over 60 Tequila dinks in less than 3 hours. People were lined up as many as 5 at a time. To be fair – it was in the 90s and the men outnumbered the women 2 to 1. It was so popular that one of the guests went on line via his iPhone and ordered two mechines, one machine for himself and the other for his Mother. I went through 1 gallon of OJ, 3-1.75 liters of Margaritas Mix 1 - l.75 liters of Cranberry Juice and 2-1.75 liters of Tequila. If this machine could mix all 3 alcohols without change over I’m sure that I would have served at least 30% more drinks.

Answer: 60

Question: What type of mess did the cleaner pick up in the bedroom?

This cleaner is very light weight. I suppose that might be an advantage if you have to schlep it up and down stairs, but it also tells me that it's mostly made of plastic, and that it's probably not all that durable. I used it on my bedroom carpet, and it cleaned up new messes (cat barf) admirably. It didn't do as well on the old dog pee stains (yes, I need to replace my bedroom carpet), but it improved them.It was easy to assemble and use, which is good, because mine did not come with an instruction manual. I'm still not sure I mixed the cleaning solution correctly.I didn't try the attachments.

Question: What made me doubtful about the towels?

I'd ordered Pike Street towels from Amazon previously and been very pleased by how soft, absorbent, and full they were. However, this batch was entirely different. The price made me doubtful, because it's exceptionally low for the number and size of towels, but you get what you pay for, I guess. These are much less full and fluffy than the others - when you rub the pile, you can definitely see the fabric underneath. Instead of feeling soft, they feel kind of nubby when rubbed. There were several long strings randomly hanging out from the pile. They're acceptable, and I ended up keeping them for emergency use, but "luxurious" isn't a word I would apply here. On the other hand, they are generously sized. I would say that overall, the price justifies what you get. Be aware the Wedgewood color ended up being more of an ocean blue and less grey than I was expecting, at least on my monitor display.

Question: What had lint remove in the dryer?

I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them. Won't be of any use in the kitchen for wiping up spills and such.

Question: What does the baker love doing?

Answer: baking my own bread

<hl> I love baking my own bread and needed something to help me cut the slices evenly. <hl> This item works for the most part, but the plastic end has warped which makes for an uneven cut. I would suggest making the end more sturdy and less susceptible to bend.

Question: How high does it sit compared to a regular bed?

I ordered this frame in king size after reading the reviews and am really happy that I did. When I opened the box it looked like it might be difficult to assemble, but it was really easy! It took my husband and I about half an hour, and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. It is solid wood and looks lovely as is, but can be stained to match your other furniture. It does sit a little higher than your average bed, but since we're using it without a box spring it is the perfect hight. Best of all, it is really sturdy and noiseless. It was exactly what I was looking for!I also have to say that this seller is great! World of Futons shipped this the day after I ordered (which was Saturday) and I had it by Wednesday! I've ordered much smaller items that took twice as long (or even longer)to receive. I really can't say enough good things about this seller and highly recommend them.

Question: for what did ou get the roller?

I'm very new to my Kitchenaid Mixer and it has been intimidating to use at first. I got this roller to try out making my own ravioli's. I hate rolling out dough.I attached this to my Kitchenaid Classic 4.5Q and it fit and worked perfect. After watching a video on youtube to understand more on what to do I tried it out. It is easy and kind of fun.I would recommend this to anyone that has a kitchenaid mixer. I also recommend if you have never used one to check out some videos on youtube to understand it more.Now I only need to get the ravioli maker. :)

Question: How many lbs was the lean roast beef?

Wow. this is a really big unit! I was able to fill it up with 1 large pineapple, 4 pounds apple slices, and 12 large bananas. This filled up all 9 trays. Works great. I also took a lean beef roast, about 3.5 lbs, thin sliced it and marinated it in a pre prepared mix. It took up about 3 trays. Turned out great also. Very happy with the purchase. I did not think it was all that loud when operating. Fast service from Amazon Prime. I think the smaller unit would have worked for a 2 person household. Unless you are prepping for the next Apocalypse of course.

Question: What is one of the main reasons you would use this product?

Wife bought this a long time ago.I still not sure about the usefulness of this thing.One of the main reasons you use this is to prevent your microwave from getting dirty from splattering when you heat your food. Which mean you have to clean this cover instead. Better solution than cleaning the oven itself. But still I find it more convenient to just cover the food with a paper towel. You don't have to clean the paper towel, you just throw it away afterwards.It is not a one-fits all solution. Sometimes it is not tall enough.It could have been better if the handle is a knob instead of a hole. The steam can be a bit of a surprise when you get a little careless.Ours has not cracked yet. I guess that is an indication how very few times it has been used in the household.

Question: During what typical daily activity could the product's failure to keep drinks warm be an issue?

Not as good as the shorter one, coffee does not stay hot as long and for driving this would be a problem if you don't like luke warm coffee. The size is great and for cold drinks it may be better.

Question: What product I used to clean the tablecloths?

These are fabulous tablecloths. I needed 10 for a charity event so I wanted a good product at a good price. I couldn't have done better. I ordered 10 ivory ones (two different sizes) on a Saturday night and they arrived by Wednesday. The quality is much better than even more expensive ones. I like the true hemmed seams and the nice weight of the fabric. The best part is the stain and wrinkle resistance of the fabric. When our event was over, we had to clean up and pack up quickly; so the tablecloths just got balled up and put in a huge bag. The next day, I pulled them out to wash them and saw that the one from the wine table was covered with red wine stains. The one from the dessert table was also filled with many stains, including chocolate. I considered just throwing those two away as I was sure they would not come clean. To my surprise, they came out spotless! These are ivory tablecloths that now look just as good as they did new, even washed in cold water. (I wash all of my laundry in cold water with Tide Cold Water detergent.) I have already bought two more (in round sizes) to use in my home. My only disappointment is they only come in white, black, and ivory; if they came in more colors, I would order more.

Question: In addition to myself, who else did I buy a Panasonic iron?

I love this Panasonic iron! I bought one for me and one for my mother-in-law, and we're both thrilled with its performance. I won a lot of brownie points with her by getting her this great iron. My guess is that she probably switched from some old Sunbeam cheapie that barely could remove the slightest wrinkles, and she got this Panasonic from me and all of the sudden, wrinkles were a thing of the past. I can get all kinds of wrinkles out of my clothes with relative ease, and it's so much easier to fill with water and to put away (retractable cord) than past irons that I've owned (B&D;, Sunbeam).My previous iron was a Black & Decker Digital Advantage which was an awesome iron, indeed, but it did not have the detachable water tank, nor the retractable power cord. The B&D; served me well for a number of years and countless hours, and I would argue that it's a better iron (performance-wise) than this Panasonic, but it must now be retired because it was starting to lose its effectiveness (not sure why), and this Panasonic simply outperforms it (only bc the B&D; is older and had been used for hundreds of hours). If you want the best "performing" iron, I'd probably get theBlack & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron, but if you want the best overall iron for it's combination of ease of use, ease of refilling water tank, performance, and price.This Panasonic is definitely a craftier tool overall because of its features that the B&D; doesn't have, and it is almost as good performance-wise as the B&D.; If this Panasonic breaks anytime soon (within a year), I'd definitely switch back to the B&D; Digital Advantage because it was one hell of an iron for me.

Question: What do they not own, but still makes these very easy to clean?

I have just about every piece in this line and I love it..the pans all cook evenly and with less heat than any other cookware I've used. Keeping it shiny and beautiful is easy..just follow the instructions that come with it. A little bit of white vinegar after washing keeps it sparkling. I don't have a dishwasher and it's easy to clean. The ONLY drawback is that you have to use a towel of pot holder to lift the lid when they're on the stovetop because they get hot. I've recommended it to friends and they love it, too. You can go from stove to oventop. It's very versatile. Buy it! You can't beat this price.

Question: What is a problem with the hand-held vacuums the customer previously ownded?

With two cats, little messes--litter, catnip, fur, food--are inevitable, but hauling out the big vac is more of a production than I can usually be bothered with. But my last hand-held vac was a total waste of time and money. It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) Granted, this was about 10 years ago. So it was with some trepidation I selected the Pet hair Eraser. As it turns out, I am reasonably satisfied with it. It has a decent amount of suction, although of course it doesn't do as good a job at the big vac. It picks up litter and cat food quite well, fur and catnip slightly less well. But for a quick tidy-up, it certainly serves its purpose well. I've used it for maybe 15 minutes now and haven't had to recharge it. I do have to empty it after every use (a good sign, really, that it's functioning well). The filter does clog up, but it washes easily.My one big complaint is about the "integrated crevice tool." It's not really a crevice tool so much as a narrow opening for the vac itself. It's not really narrow enough to be a crevice tool, and not really big enough for the vac itself. I wish they hadn't gone for the compromise here.

Answer: little suction and clogged up quickly

With two cats, little messes--litter, catnip, fur, food--are inevitable, but hauling out the big vac is more of a production than I can usually be bothered with. But my last hand-held vac was a total waste of time and money. <hl> It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) <hl> Granted, this was about 10 years ago. So it was with some trepidation I selected the Pet hair Eraser. As it turns out, I am reasonably satisfied with it. It has a decent amount of suction, although of course it doesn't do as good a job at the big vac. It picks up litter and cat food quite well, fur and catnip slightly less well. But for a quick tidy-up, it certainly serves its purpose well. I've used it for maybe 15 minutes now and haven't had to recharge it. I do have to empty it after every use (a good sign, really, that it's functioning well). The filter does clog up, but it washes easily. My one big complaint is about the "integrated crevice tool." It's not really a crevice tool so much as a narrow opening for the vac itself. It's not really narrow enough to be a crevice tool, and not really big enough for the vac itself. I wish they hadn't gone for the compromise here.

Question: What kind of fan is the reviewer writing about?

I had a tower fan for over 8 years and it suddenly died and they didn't make it anymore. So I searched and found the Lasko 2551, decided to give it a try. It comes just needing to be attached to the base, which is easy. It's nice and tall, so half the air isn't blown into the floor. I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly. For me, the fan is almost too quiet. It's sturdy, doesn't tip over easily, and has a nice cord length.

Question: What is it?

We bought this cover for our mattresses at home. They work great. Our youngest has had many accidents on it and we just keep washing it. It has breathable sides which is really reassuring in case if any moisture is underneath for whatever reason we don't have to worry about puling the cover off and discovering a mildew.So that is why we bought this last bunch of covers for our ski house. When we are not using it, we are renting it out or lending it to friends / colleagues and we want the mattresses to last forever. Plus is it just more hygienic.

Answer: hygienic

Question: What three things does the reviewer say right away?

Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight. I'm not going to pretend that it makes vacuuming the house any more pleasurable but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed "The Beast" soon after its arrival. It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag, unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. (I do have three Rottweilers, so we don't lack for hair on the floor). As some others have said, the cord is a trifle short but luckily, I have an abundance of outlets and if that's its biggest flaw, I can't complain too much. I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get.

Question: How long does it take to cook meat 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 the name of the manufacturer?

I have a drawer full of OXO kitchen tools so I definitely am impressed by OXO's product line. Good quality, comfort, effectiveness, and smart design are the hallmarks of OXO and this tool is no exception.Ideally this is the size of a perfect wedge of pie. It has a comfortable handle and is made of a sturdy grade of stainless steel. It is flexible enough to make a non-messy first cut and it can slide under to pick up the last piece of pie. It has a serrated edge that produces a nice cut and it washes up nicely by hand or dishwasher without staining.It also has a hole in the handle which is perfect for hanging on a rack.Overall, a great pie cutter which can handle a hefty wedge of pie.

Question: What position does she normally sleep in?

I thought this was going to be my THING! While it is comfy and offers pretty good support, the ear hole helps, but isn't QUITE big enough (and I have reg-o ears)- This is NOT good for anyone who doesn't stay in the exact same position all night. I like to flip sides - I'm mainly on my left shoulder - but I like to switch it up at night and this pillow does not allow for it. You'd have to flip your pillow over to go to the other side b/c the longer side is supposed to stay on your back. Also if you ever lay just on your back...this is useless! SO! If you stay put while you sleep, get this! If you like to switch sides at all without having to sit up to flip you pillow to do it...this would not be the pillow for you.

Question: How many implements did I need to assemble the shoe rack?

This shoe rack is OK. It wasn't too difficult to assemble, no tools. It comes with 8 metal bars and 2 sides to push the bars into, this is most easily done if you put the side of the rack on the ground and push the bars down into it and then put the top rack on top and push it down. It fits perfectly underneath my clothes in my closet and holds exactly 20 pairs of shoes; I have my boots, heels, flip flops, sneakers. The problem is the height of the shelves, it is a very small space for my shoes to fit, even the heels. I put my boots on the top rack because that's the only place they could fit. Like I said, it's OK but a great space saver.

Question: What have they struggled with for years?

I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. I just wound up digging through tons of canned goods, wound up loosing small things and was generally unhappy about the whole situation. This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's not especially strong palstic, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.

Question: What is the manufacturer's name?

I ordered one of these covered casseroles to use as a salt crock. I fill it up with kosher salt and keep it right by the stove and find it to be the perfect size opening for me to snag a pinch of salt without it being outrageously big or too small. (If you watch a lot of Alton Brown like I do, you'll know how often he reaches for the kosher salt; now mine is actually convenient to reach and beautiful enough to leave out all the time!!!) It looks great sitting out on my counter where it is always left out. An even better benefit is that it matches with the other Le Creuset products I have in my kitchen. Is this thing made in China like others have suggested, sure, but for the price, I found the quality to be right on par with my expectations!

Question: How is the power of the juicer compared to the super-duper juicer?

I use this primarily for getting lime juice for margaritas. It is a lot faster than squeezing by hand and more efficient than using one of the manual squeezers. There are separate attachments for limes/lemons and oranges/grapefruits. It's very quick to set up and its use is intuitive.If you have used one of the super-duper juicers out there, you may be disappointed by this unit. The power is adequate, but I can almost bring it to a stop using strong pressure. I would like to be able to extract the juice faster.It cleans up and stores easily, and I like the way you can vary the amount of pulp you allow in.It's a good deal for the money, but I long for something with a more powerful motor.

Question: Why does the writer love silicone pans for baking?

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)

Question: The customer really likes this function of the griddle?

I really like this griddle because I like the cooking space, BUT the griddle cooks unevenly. I'm not sure if this will go away over time. When making pancakes you can clearly see that parts of the pancake are cooking faster/better. It still cooks all the way through but I really wish it was more even. It heats to temperature quickly. The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. If it were not for the uneven heat I would definitely rate this at a 4 or 5 stars, but I really expected more for the overall review rating.

Question: Why did the reviewer purchase this item for the kids?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: Which brand did the reviewer call the best brand they had owned over the years?

I read many of the reviews here on Amazon for this (and other) grinders before making a purchase. Since I have owned several types (Braun has been the overall best) over the past 30 years, I knew what I was looking for. This one seemed to fit the bill: Less expensive, larger grinding volume, quieter, longer lasting, etc.Well, I was disappointed with it. It took what seemed forever to grind the beans to the fine consistency necessary for our machine. Then, after grinding about two cups of beans (we keep a few days worth of the ground beans in an airtight container), it completely stopped working. I am not sure if it was defective or just not capable of grinding properly. I am thinking it was the latter.I sent it back and am not taking a chance on another one of these. I'm looking to purchase a better quality unit.

Since I have owned several types (<hl> Braun <hl> has been the overall best) over the past 30 years, I knew what I was looking for. This one seemed to fit the bill: Less expensive, larger grinding volume, quieter, longer lasting, etc.Well, I was disappointed with it. It took what seemed forever to grind the beans to the fine consistency necessary for our machine. Then, after grinding about two cups of beans (we keep a few days worth of the ground beans in an airtight container), it completely stopped working. I am not sure if it was defective or just not capable of grinding properly. I am thinking it was the latter.I sent it back and am not taking a chance on another one of these.
