Question: What does the bowl have that makes it easier to use?

I bought this just for the handled bowl to make pancakes. It was worth the money for the bowl alone. I don't even use the measuring cups/spoons. I have weak wrists, so I cannot handle grandma's old crock mixing bowls with one hand. This light melamine bowl is so easy to handle because it HAS a handle and you can scoop or stir with your free hand. Makes scooping out pancake batter a BREEZE!Dishwasher safe on the top rack and has a rubber ring on the bottom of the bowl which keeps it stable and makes no sound when you sit it on a hard counter. I love it and if anything ever happens to mine, I'll be buying it again!

Question: What does this user substitute for flour?

I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans. Even though the USA pans are a bit more expensive, they are WELL worth the money.I do always grease my pans before baking. I generally use butter to grease them and sprinkle with fine sugar rather than flour. Makes a nice coating on the outside of your cakes and releases just as well as flour.You won't want to serve out of them. As with any coated pan, metal isn't their friend, but just cool your cakes and they slip right out onto a serving plate. I never wash mine in the dishwasher. You can, but it isn't advisable..again they do have a clear non-stick coating. They clean up quick and easy with a sponge and a little dish detergent.Absolutely the best pans I have ever owned and I have a lot of pans. Try them, I'm sure you'll love them too.

Question: According to this user, for what purpose is the product used?

I only came across this product because I'm looking to buy a replacement for it. Before you think I'm ridiculous for rating it 5 stars, let's just say I have had this hot pot for 9 1/2 years, and it has served me well. The water boils much faster than heating on a stove-top kettle. I use it to boil water for hot chocolate, tea, etc. It recently started making sparks when I heat up the water, so I figured it's time for a new one. I think I only paid about $10 for this at Linens n Things when I first purchased it, so I can't say that it wasn't $10 well-spent.

Question: What did the writer make with the blender?

I bought this last night from a brick and mortar store, I didn't want to wait for shipping. So far I am impressed. I am following a 3 day detox/cleanse from Dr. Oz's site, so I picked up this blender. The unit feels really well built and sturdy. The grips on the bottom of the device are like superglue, the device is not going to go anywhere. It packs a punch and does so without making you wish you had ear protection. It does not take up too much counter space, which is a huge plus. So far I am happy with it. I read the booklets that came with it and made sure to follow the directions. One of the books has recipes and is very bright with color. I made 3 shakes with it last night and it powered right through them. I had no leaking and everything was very well blended.Owned it for one day, no regrets about my purchase.

Question: What type of device is the Roomba?

This is my second Roomba. The first did an awesome job, but it didn't survive when we moved. Maybe I should have packed him a little better. Sorry little guy. :(But got a new one to replace him as soon as possible because I love my little Roomba. 2 cats, plus a wife with long curly hair, means a lot of hair, fur, and litter tracked around, and Roomba takes care of it all without a complaint. And maybe he doesn't do a "perfect" job all the time. So you know what, I just run him more frequently and it comes out great.We have a pretty good sized condo and he can't do the whole place at once. So I just put him into different rooms different days with the virtual walls. I start him when I leave for work and come home to a clean place. Don't even sweat not having the programmable timer. Just set him off when you go out or when you are doing laundry or something.The cats don't mind him either. They watch him as he works and sniff him when I have Roomba upside down to clean him ("Oh, of course it's a robot, we knew that all along...").Still haven't thought of an appropriate name for my little buddy. He's definitely a blue collar kind of guy though. I give him weekends and holidays off, unless it's an emergency. But he is always there for me when I need him, and I do my best to be there for him when he needs me too.

Question: What size is the product?

Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch. Love this item. I ordered one and liked it so much I got another one. I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. I transfer them from the baking sheet, covered with a Silpat, to the cooling rack after about 8 or 10 minutes. While still soft, but I wait until they won't pull apart while transferring. Then I let the cookies cool completely on this rack. It works great, the cookies don't stick to it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cooling rack, especially for cookies directly onto the rack.

Question: What is the brand name of measuring cups?

I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. These measuring cups are no exception. They are made from reinforced steel and have a great rubber handle. I've had zero problems with bending and have used them extensively on wet and dry ingredients since owning. They wash up great in the dishwasher and are a substantial weight - not too heavy, but they don't feel cheap. The only drawback I can see is the price; however, with everything, you get what you pay for. I highly recommend these measuring cups!

Question: how long ago did the writer buy the product?

I bought this pan about 3 years ago. It hangs on a side of my cabinets where I can reach it easily. Today, it looks as new as the day I bought it. Cleans up so easily! Just a little soapy water and a soft dishrag or plastic pad... and it's looking new again! I cook on a gas stove and the handle of this pan does require me to use a potholder of some sort. It's not exactly hot... more, just uncomfortably warm. Since the description says handle stays cool... I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. All in all, this pan is a workhorse, it doesn't hold odors and it's one of the best kitchen pans I've ever purchased. I love the ability to grill indoors on my stove without having to give it any thought! I can easily grill four steaks on this pan. Or 2 large steaks. Think I'll have a nice grilled steak tonight!

Question: What is wider?

I bought these pans thinking that this style/size would be a universal size for all types of tins. I already own two of the Wilton Jumbo pans and assumed these would be the same. These cups are wider than wilton, resulting in a shorter, fatter muffin than if I put the same amount of batter into the Wilton pan. Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. These may say non-stick, but I always spray as I do not use liners when baking jumbo muffins for our local cafe.If you are looking for a taller muffin pan, I would recommend using Wilton's:Wilton 6-Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan

Question: what makes juicing tasty?

This is my first juicer and I love it. It is easy to use and clean. I use the juicing for nutritional support. Juicing makes it easy to get my daily fruit and veggies, as well as the enzymes, minerals, vitamins, etc. When I am juicing regularly, I do not crave the sugary drinks, processed foods and I have a great energy level. It was my first step in eating better and becoming more active. It is amazing the liquid you can get out of produce, and it is quite tasty if you find the right mix fruit and veggies. I love making my own variety of juices :-)

Question: Is the price reasonable compared to other pan covers?

I love these covers, I have two (one for a 12" and one for a 14" pan). They are perfect for what I need. I have several large skillets for my induction stovetop that didn't come with lids, these lids fit the bill perfectly. They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? They let out steam if need be and they are easy to clean. Who could ask for more? I also own a universal lid cover that is glass and stainless, and although it's nice, I prefer these because they don't weigh as much and they are easier to clean than the glass one. Plus the price is much, much lower than the universal lid I purchased. I would definitely buy these again, if I needed to.

Question: What kind of squeegee does the vacuum have?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What was purchased as an add-on to the mattress to try to get a more body conforming feeling?

This mattress arrived in a rectangular box that was in perfect condition (I say this because there are some reviews of the box being damaged). We unwrapped it and watched it grow. I didn't purchase a new platform; instead, it sits on my not-too-old box spring which is fine.Now, I love a firm mattress, but it conforms to my body only a little. In other words, there isn't the "wow factor" of feeling weightless yet supported like many of the other foam mattresses available. I debated returning it, but decided that I didn't want to go through the hassle of figuring out how to get it back inside the box - seems impossible once the mattress grows to its full size. So, I purchased a topper - material-filled (down, or something like it); not foam - and it does make somewhat of a difference.. However, I am thinking about getting a foam topper to see if that makes it even more conforming.So, while this mattress does give me a good night's sleep, I wouldn't buy it again.

Question: What will happen if my son helps prep food?

My son LOVES these. I'm sure I'm breaking some rules of Motherhood somewhere, but he's three and Iet him use them. Thus far, he hasn't severed a finger off or anything. They ACTUALLY work, but without my worry about him bleeding profusely if I turn my back for a moment. I would still always use them supervised - especially with multiple kids around. Great product. BPA free. High quality. I'll be purchasing these for friends and their children. Great way to get the little ones involved in food prep! My son is MUCH more likely to eat the food if he helped prep it!

BPA free. High quality. I'll be purchasing these for friends and their children. Great way to get the little ones involved in food prep! My son is <hl> MUCH more likely to eat the food <hl> if he helped prep it!


Question: The new features of the Breeze have what, over time?

I bought the Dirt Devil Breeze years ago and it is still running. I have always liked it; it is pretty light-weight and handles easily. The cord is super long. So when Amazon offered the Breeze at a really good price, I grabbed this one as a second one in the house. One thing I like about it is the fact that it is bagless. We have a Black Lab and it is amazing the amount of dog hair it picks up that you see in the reservoir after running it. It is easy to empty. The tube snaps off the cleaner easily and you can dump the dirt right in the garbage can. There is really nothing I dislike about it. For the price, it is highly recommended. Although I have a bigger sweeper, I keep using the Breeze. It would be perfect for an apartment as it is a bit smaller than the full size cleaners yet not too small to be annoying. Also, it would be good for those who have a hard time pushing and pulling a cleaner around. The new Breeze features have changed a little but so far I have had no problems.

Question: How do you clean the container?

I have owned my Dyson DC15 Animal for many years now and it still works perfectly. I have "2" pugs who shed a LOT and this vacuum handles them guys and more. It is easy to operate and actually "fun" to use. Previously with my old Orek (before they had the HEPA filter) my house would smell like "dog". As you use the Dyson, the air it sucks in actually comes out cleaner than before it went in. No more dog smell. The key to this vacuum is maintaining it. Don't wait until it fills to the top with dirt. Just pop out the container and drop the dirt into the garbage in only a matter of seconds. I use the brush attachment tool that comes with the vacuum to brush off the inside of the vacuum outdoors every couple of empty-ings. Once or twice a year you take out the heppa sponge and wash it in soap and water. (be sure to thoroughly dry). Best vacuum ever owned. As a MAN, I appreciate how easy this vacuum is to keep running and my wife agrees it is the best vacuum she has ever used. We are in our 50's so we have owned a few vacuums in our time. amazon had the best price at the time and I like their easy return policy. Nice job Amazon.

Question: The customer bought this item for his daughter because of what reason?

I have owned a factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional Mixer (6 qt.) for over two years and have had no trouble with it. It arrived in perfect shape, looking brand new. I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. It was on her gift registry at a chain store. I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest. The mixer arrived yesterday and has no scratches or blemishes. It, too, looks brand new. I took it out of the box to be sure it looked new, and only had to adjust the beater height using the screw in the neck of the mixer to get it in perfect shape. I know she will love it and it will look great in her kitchen. Maybe she'll even use it to cook something!

Question: What makes the shears easy to clean?

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 is the powder used to harden?

I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago. I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste, it works great. For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. It will harden the fondant eventually. For gumpaste, a lot of it is needed, and it's actually added to the recipe. Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag. Otherwise it will harden really quick. This product is a bit pricy but it works. I recommend buying more than one at a time to save on shipping.

Question: What is the brand of the kitchen scale?

I can never have too many scales in my kitchen. This is one of my favorite scales because it's so reliable. I weigh a lot of my ingredients, especially when I'm baking gluten free goodies, so it's important to have a good scale on hand. This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. It also allows to tare/zero out weight as needed. The scale also measures out grams, ounces, fluid ounces and kilograms. And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds.

Question: What was on the side of the box?

I was worried when it arrived. I had to leave and couldn't inspect it immediately. There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue. Everything was okay, except for the heating/warming bulb which was broken off in the base. I haven't been able to find a replacement for it yet.The machine itself was simple to assemble, extra switches were included. It looks very nice, like some of the more expensive commercially available poppers.As far as operation, I wish the pot itself was deeper, as several un-popped kernels get knocked out as the popping starts. It's also a tight fit to load the pot, if you're not careful you'll dump everything. Besides that, it heats up and gets popping very fast, with a lot of steam and fresh popcorn-y goodness filling the area.I cannot wait until this winter to curl up on a cold night with hot popcorn and a good movie. This seems to be money well spent, if any issues arise, I'll "pop" back in later with an update.

Question: How soon did after ordering did the unit arrive?

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

Question: What is this spoon rest made out of?

If you have a smaller spoon -- say a teaspoon or tablespoon -- this spoon rest works well. If you are using actual cooking utensils with longer handles, however, this spoon rest falls short. The longer stem length of the spoons do not allow the bowl of the spoon to sit in the rest. Instead, the spoon tends to angle up and tip over, making a mess of your counter or stove top. A rather huge design flaw, I'd think. (And the fact it's cheaper plastic means you really shouldn't set it on your stove top but on the counter next to your stove which, again, kind of defeats the purpose, eh?)

Question: What color is the product?

As someone who's fond of making margaritas and Moscow mules, it's a lot easier when you have a citrus squeezer. I originally had one of those manual juicers with a jar under it to catch the juice, but it was just inefficient and quite messy.This has been a breeze to use and clean. AND as an unforeseen added bonus, the bright cheerful yellow color has made it extremely easy for my blind-as-a-bat boyfriend to find. Instead of standing in front of the open drawer yelling, "Where's the lemon juicer!".. he actually finds it himself.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to juice limes or lemons regularly.

Question: What is wrong with the reservoir?

While this is a good product and our family likes it there is one serious negative for this coffee maker and that is the water reservoir! It is WAY too small and they could have made it hold more water. While they set it up for the specific sizes of cups of coffee it supports someone should have realized it would be nice to have a larger water reservoir so that you could make one cup after another (like when you have multiple family members wanting coffee at the same time or guests) instead of the TINY reservoir they provided. However with that being said this produces an excellent cup of HOT coffee (the hot part is important for us since we don't care for lukewarm coffee). The ability to switch between regular coffee and kcups is just awesome!

Question: What are they made from?

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: What are the main measurements of the Joey?

I'm on my second Joey after the first [yes, plastic] pump deteriorated, but that was after 3 and 1/2 years. That's not an especially laudable longevity, but I otherwise like the Joey so much that I got another one anyway. (The whole Joey: ridiculously, there's no Umbra replacement pump part. A substitution, however, could probably have been found.) Yes it's rather big - the base is 4" front-to-back and 3" side-to-side - but I could not find another dispenser that also holds the sponge, a convenience I now require. It does fit on the corner of the lip of my sink just fine. The pocket is only 1+3/4" deep (top-to-bottom) so regarding 'Grandma's' claim, I can't imagine how anyone could store a toothbrush and toothpaste and timer and floss in there: absolutely no way, as they would just fall over and out (except for the floss). But it holds one sponge or Dobie reasonably well. Don't expect any more than that. The dispenser holds a lot of soap/detergent, so you rarely have to refill it. I bought mine in white, through Amazon.

It does fit on the corner of the lip of my sink just fine. The pocket is only 1+3/4" deep (top-to-bottom) so regarding 'Grandma's' claim, I can't imagine how anyone could store a toothbrush and toothpaste and timer and floss in there: absolutely no way, as they would just fall over and out (except for the floss). But it holds one sponge or Dobie reasonably well. Don't expect any more than that. The dispenser holds a lot of soap/detergent, so you rarely have to refill it. I bought mine in white, through Amazon.


Question: What should you do if you wash with hard water?

It's big, it's beautiful and it the smell reminds me of the beach! the straw mats you lay on It is thick and heavy and sturdy.....love the two tone. Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away) and keep some bamboo oil on hand and your set for a loooong time! :)

Question: What does the user say about the product?

Attractive, sturdy, and holds a lot of utensils! The holder is divided into 3 compartments so the utensils don't become hopelessly tangled. It has a nice non-skid bottom surface so it does not scratch or slide on my granite countertop. The finish is shiny, but it still works with the matte finish of my stainless steel appliances.

Question: What is its size?

I have been using this wok for several weeks and I really like it. It seems to conduct heat very well, so things cook quickly -- and the steamer basket is HUGE! Of course, it's hard to stir fry chicken and steam veggies at the same time (impossible, really, since you need to keep stirring the chicken but you can't with the basket on top), so it's mostly a one-or-the-other situation.I have two negatives: First, I have noticed that the non-stick coating seems to have tiny little scratches in it. Nothing major, and the teflon is still intact, but I have definitely noticed some lines that weren't there beofre. This is disheartening, as I have only been using wooden spoons and there should be no scratches this quickly in any case.Second, the metal handles tend to get very hot -- too hot to handle without a pot holder or gloves or something.Still, this is a very nice wok and I do recommend it.

Question: Who is the reviewer a fan of?

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 did the reviewer notice on newer toaster ovens?

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: How many glasses did the reviewer buy?

These glasses I picked up because I wanted to experiment with some Absinthe mixes. With my large ice cube tray, these seemed the perfect glass for it. I did not want to just get a normal set of glasses, something you might get at the "Red Bullseye" store. Or even just something cheap. Granted these are not the most expensive out there, but they are Made in Germany, and the reviews spoke of it being solid, and had durability and some weight.When I got them, they were nice clear, solid glasses with the right width. All 6 were in perfect shape and shipped well. I never heard of the company Spiegelau, but I really like the glasses. They feel good in the hand. They show off the drink well. I wanted a good glass and I got a good glass. So I am happy with them.

Question: What kind of adventure did she go on with her 3 dogs?

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

Question: How many sets did they order?

The softness and texture of a towel are the utmost importance to me. We ordered one set of these to try them out. The towel didn't seem very think or plush and certainly was not soft. I thought if we washed it, it would be better. It improved a little and certainly is usable and ok, but not the type of towel that I love. It's just Okay.

Question: How was the customer service?

When I first ordered this timer I was a little unsure that I would be satisfied with this item. Having to buy many timers that broke after a short time, I am pleased to say; I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is the best timer I have ever used even though it is very small in size, it is an excellent produce that works very efficiently. The customer service I received was excellent also.

Question: The reviewer boasts that they have never has what kind of issue?

I love these knives and have not one complaint. They are sharp, but not dangerously sharp like some knives I have used. They did scare my daughter when she came over to use them as she has dull knives at her house and was expecting how sharp these were. I haven't had one rust issue. I believe you just need to wash and dry them after each use. My husband has stuck his steak knife a couple of times in the dishwasher without me noticing and even then no rust. Love these; you just have to know how to take care of a good set of knives. I really didn't understand this until reading through all the reviews on this set.

Question: What is the problem with the silicone roasting rack?

A silicone roasting rack is a great idea and much needed, given that most "non-stick" roasting racks are anything but. However, this version is not well executed. It is way too small to have much utility. You can get a single small pork roast on it, but that's about it. You won't be using this for baking poultry pieces, pork chops, etc., and don't even think you could put a turkey on it. Somebody needs to take this idea and make a big version of it. They would sell a million of them.

Question: What were they afraid would break?

Never used a ricer before so can't compare the workability of this product compared to others, but this is not as easy to use as it seems. Still need to use a lot of strength to squeeze the potatoes through as well as doing it in many batches for 2.5 lbs potatoes. I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard. The potatoes have to be very, very soft in order to squeeze them out easily. Some lumps still remain. It's not too useful for drier, denser or more fibrous variety of root vegetables such as the purple sweet potato I tried ricing. Sometimes the mash pushes up the inner basket because the metal plate couldn't squeeze out the mash fast enough and that makes a mess. Finally, for around $20 (incl. shipping) this is rather expensive for a piece of plastic.

Question: What did this person buy?

No more bagged microwave popcorn for me. I've used this with and without oil and with butter flavored cooking spray. The biggest drawback is I've been reintroduced to popcorn popped in oil and it is delicious! Without oil is ok too and the cooking spray is ok, but I was surprised at how much I liked it popped with oil. This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. It's tremendously cost effective because popping corn in a jar is much cheaper than buying bagged microwave popcorn. You also have control over what you put on it - nothing, butter, spray butter, seasonings. If you love popcorn, I recommend this popper.

Question: Besides the anchors what other items comes with this item?

While this does make a very nice key rack, that's not what I got it for. I had been looking for something to hang long necklaces on in my closet/dressing space, and I thought this would work well. It does! It was easy to install. It comes with screws and anchors, and I have to say I never mess with anchors and never have an issue - point being that I screwed this into the wall without the anchors. I like the simple style, and the silver finish adds a touch of elegance. I'm sure this would also work well to hold keys, but I like it as an accessory organizer, too.

Question: How does it look the color of this product?

The color that I chose was amazing, and I believe it's a MUST for every family to have. It simply makes baking easy and fun. Also, it's so convenient as far as cleaning. Just throw the bowl and the paddle in the dishwasher. Plus, this machine doesn't make noises. Simply FANTASTIC!

Question: How much clorox do you need in order to clean the kit?

This is a fanatic kit that offers everything you need to make beer besides the ingredients and the bottle caps.The lit offers high quality equipment for a starter kit or a beer veteran looking for an upgrade. You could easily brew two beers at once, 1 in the carboy and the other in the plastic bucket. The siphon in invaluable in the bottling of the beer and drastically reduces the sediment during bottling.Other tips for people just starting out:- I do not like the cleaner agent that comes with the kit. I think 1 cup Clorox per gallon water and then rinsing in tap water works better and does not leave an odd taste.- If you live in a warm climate and use the carboy, you should google how to make an airlock run off before brewing (this is something that happens with carboys and has nothing to do with the kit)

Question: does the mattress cover fit a king size mattress?

I've tried so many mattress covers and found they're either noisy or cause my sheets to not fit correctly. I found neither of these a problem with this cover. The top layer is like a terry cloth towel and the sides are a mesh like material. It fit our king size mattress perfectly and my sheets slid on without a problem. I'm planning to purchase more for my children's twin beds. We have cheap covers on those at the moment and their sheets are always sliding up. I haven't tested the water resistant factor, and hopefully won't have to. With that said I think it could handle a minor spill, but honestly anything but a plastic cover isn't going to protect 100%. I for one refuse to sleep on plastic so hopefully this will help prolong the life of my new mattress.Update: Puppy barfed on our bed, and this cover did an excellent job of protecting our treasured mattress.

Question: How long did the person vacuum for?

I have a larger model of Eva-dry that I have loved. It absorbs water fast (almost too fast; I think it has quickly taken to holding less water per charge). These smaller ones seem to take forever to turn pink even with a fair amount of humidity. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, exactly. At least they are not holding less water per charge like my older, larger models seem to be doing after only a couple of years. However, one genuine complaint is that one of these slipped out of my hand less than five feet onto a relatively soft flooring (wood) and burst open. After 15 minutes of vacuumng, I'll still be cleaning the little balls up for days. It seems to me these units should be less fragile than THAT.

Answer: 15 minutes

At least they are not holding less water per charge like my older, larger models seem to be doing after only a couple of years. However, one genuine complaint is that one of these slipped out of my hand less than five feet onto a relatively soft flooring (wood) and burst open. <hl> After 15 minutes of vacuumng, I'll still be cleaning the little balls up for days. <hl> It seems to me these units should be less fragile than THAT.
