Question: When was the product purchased?

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

Question: How many pillow covers come with the sheet set?

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

Question: How often have they used the device?

I love this little thing. It counts up, counts down, easy to use, easy to see and hear, sticks to my fridge, stands upright on a surface when you deploy the little stand in back, and very best of all just pops in your pocket. The latter feature is especially useful to me, as I will frequently have something going on the stove or in the oven but do not wish to be stuck within hearing distance of the stove's timer. This little device allows me to roam, even outside, confident that I won't forget something is cooking, and is handier than other portable alternatives.As for durability, I used it very frequently and without incident for 15 months. Then one day I accidentally bumped it with my shoulder while passing the fridge (I store the device on the fridge door) and the magnet failed to hold it and it fell around five feet to the kitchen floor. This knocked open the battery case door, dislodged the battery, and bent the spring that holds the battery in position. However, I easily repaired it and, bearing in mind we're not paying Rolex prices here, I considered the problem to be more the magnet is too weak to handle a careless passerby than the device is too flimsy to withstand smashing on the floor. You could of course just store the device in a safer position or place, but I elected to glue a neodymium magnet to the back to take care of it, and we've since been using the timer almost daily again without any problems.Given what I paid for it and the length of time I have now used it my ownership costis about to get below a penny a day. Given its utility and the frequency with which I use it I'd have to say that "for the money" this merits five stars, for me it has been a very useful item for little cost.

Question: What kind of filter bags does the product come with?

When this vacuum came in a small square box, I wasn't quite sure what to think. However, after taking a little time to put it together (with the help of hubby), I'm happy to say this vacuum delivers what it promises. It's a great vacuum for someone who has heavy duty cleaning needs. It's sturdy and has great suction power. I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer.This vacuum is definitely built more for corporate cleaning than household cleaning - there is no twisting or bending, no hose with various nozzles for cleaning stairs. This is a straight-forward heavy duty vacuuming machine.

Question: What is this product?

I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can, but alas I did not just once but twice! We wanted a fingerprint proof garbage can, so we received a stainless steel one a few years ago as a gift. It worked great, except that it had an external hinge, which left scuff marks on our walls. THese cans have an internal hinge, so they do not rub on the wall that they are next to. There is an internal removable can for easy cleaning. You can also lock the lid open for airing it out. Simplehuman recommends using their bags, which do fit perfectly, but just buy generic ones from the grocery and they work fine. We bought 2: one for garbage, one for recycling.WHen we first ordered these, they arrived damaged in shipping. Each had a big dent in the back. Granted they were shipped in their original Simplehuman boxes with no extra padding. Returns was easy, and new ones arrived 2 days later. They were packed with lots of stuffing within the Simplehuman boxes. Then placed inside another "shipper" box with lots of filler. No dents!

Question: What magazine had a review of the product?

I purchased this set about 7 months ago when it sold for $62.99. So my first bit of advice is to wait for a sale.Many glowing reviews on this set. The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is very affordable, and well regarded for the price (there was a review in CooksIllustrated). Handles are very comfortable. And if the pots/pans become discolored by heat, just use BKF (Bar Keeper's Friend) to make them look new again.To round out the set, get a 2-quart saucepan and a 12" skillet... TJ Max/Marshalls has great prices on open stock.

Question: What does it not make worse?

I am very excited about this vacuum. Maybe overly excited, because the one I'd been using for the past couple years was purchased by my parents in the mid-90s and it had gotten to the point where you had to twist the handle as far as you could (till it made a crunching noise) and put all your weight on it to get it to clean anything for a few seconds.Anyway. Pretty much any vacuum would be better than that, but this vacuum works and looks better than most others I've used. Its footprint is of a reasonable size, and I appreciate how contained the components and features are. (In the past I have used cumbersome canister vacuums.) I'm very impressed with how close to the wall it picks up dirt. The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. The air powered turbo tool gets the stairs cleaner than they've been in recent memory.Above all, I love the HEPA filter. Ordinarily, vacuuming stirs up dust and pollen and allergens that leave me sneezing for hours. Instead of stirring things up, this vacuum actually picks them up. It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma!

PROS:- Nice design.- Blue lights can be switch On and Off.- Easy to clean.- Good amount of steam.- Tank is easy to open and carry.CONS:- Tank is small, 1 gallon is for approx. 8 hours. So You have to refill every day.- Steam only goes up straight, the angled attachment seems not working great.

Question: Is the author happy with his purchase?

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 does the writer use the products for?

Updated 2/28 - 4 months now and they have become a staple on the bed. Still fluffy and yet firm and absolutely no feathers. Glad I bought an extra set for the other bed. Can't go wrong with these.After 30 days they're still fluffy and holding up to use daily. I use them as support for my other pillows against the headboard. Basically to cover the gap between the mattress and headboard, but in the morning they've always found their way to typical pillow mode. I do make sure I fluff a little when making the bed, but there is no breakdown and no feathers of any kind. Will update if this changes, but great deal and no problems. Not even from Mrs allergic to everything.

Question: What kind of meat do they use this thermometer for?

Purchased this thermometer along with the CDN IRXL220 Large Dial Insta-Read Thermometer. I use the Large Dial for roasts and this one for poultry (this thermometer's sensing part extends from its tip for 3/4 of an inch which works better for the thinner poultry meat). I tested both of them out of the box on a glass of ice water and a pot of boiling water. The readings were right on at 32 and 212 degress plus or minus a smidgen of a degree. So far, this thermometer works well and has not given me any problems. Its hold feature comes in handy when you need to get to a better light source to read the temperature.

Question: What is the product known for being in the market?

Many lunch totes on the market are bulky; this one is not. It has very soft sides, so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed.One nice this is that this is made from neoprene and is easy to clean.One drawback is that the zipper is hard to close sometimes...and to be specific, hard to get started to close. Once it gets going, it moves well.I'm not totally convinced that the 4 hours this product claims to keep food items insulated is accurate. I put it in the our refridgerator at work and my food got colder, even after an hour. I tend to think the opposite would happen if I left the bag at room temperature.All in all, it has a nice look, and the shoulder strap is at a really great length. I'd say it is durable enough for most people.

Question: What does the author describe as 'solid'?

So... I'm fairly new in the kitchen. I recently bought a nice (red) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. While the included attachments worked just fine I splurged a little and got the upgrade whip along with the coated paddle and hook. Really, I had no complaints about the original whip (actually never used it) but I can say this one works well enough and maybe the extra wires are a benefit I don't have the experience to appreciate.The build quality is solid as expected. I did not have to adjust my bowl height to accommodate the new whip. It works as expected and cleans up easily. It is what you'd expect from KitchenAid I think.

Question: what did the they lay down to watch one night?

My husband and I had to get creative when we moved into a place that had a master bedroom without a closet. We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. Then one night we just laid down to watch a movie when suddenly; BOOM! One of them collapsed and literally fell apart right before our eyes. 100 or so pounds of clothes ended up sitting on the floor until we bought our second set. Even the second set that had slightly better build quality ended up leaning to one side after about a week of ownership. Feeling completely helpless, I thought about looking into industrial clothes racks because you never see those babies bend or break in stores! So, I found this one, bought it, and we LOVE it. It is a tank! We have all of our clothes filling both sides including several heavier coats and suits and it has not bent at all. The wheels roll smoothly too and it is pretty attractive for being a garment rack. I wish we bought this in the first place. If you need a strong, functional garment rack, don't hesitate and buy this one right now!

Even the second set that had slightly better build quality ended up leaning to one side after about a week of ownership. Feeling completely helpless, I thought about looking into industrial clothes racks because you never see those babies bend or break in stores! So, I found this one, bought it, and we LOVE it. It is a tank! We have all of our clothes filling both sides including several heavier coats and suits and it has not bent at all. The wheels roll smoothly too and it is pretty attractive for being a garment rack. I wish we bought this in the first place. If you need a strong, functional garment rack, don't hesitate and buy this one right now!

Question: How does this garlic press work?

until i bought this, i was hand-mincing garlic with a santoku-style knife, and though i love putting garlic in my food, it was so time-consuming that i didnt really want to use minced garlic anymore :S then i remembered the garlic press my mom had while i was growing up, more rounded than this one and with a pivoting hammer, but this one works very well too. Self-cleaning seems kind of a misnomer? i still have to scrape it with a knife to get the bits of garlic out from the little holes. i also pre-peel my garlic so i'm not sure if this could have an effect? anyhow it's an inexpensive, very handy tool as i love to add garlic to almost everything :3 glad i bought it, though if it ever wears out i think i'll seek a slightly different design next time.

Question: Where does the author keep the disc holder?

I would have given this disc holder a 5-star rating except that the child-resistant safety button/knob is difficult for arthritic hands to lift and twist at the same time. If I am very careful when closing it, I can avoid having the safety latch catch, but that does not always work. I wish they had an option to purchase it without the child-resistant device, for non-child older households.Other than that, it is a great way to keep sharp blades and discs organized and safe! It is well-made and stores 3 discs, a dough blade, and the chopping blade. Although it is fairly large, it is easy to keep on top of my fridge, as it is very lightweight but sturdy.This would be a great item for a household with children, with its safety device.

Question: Where did the person buy travel mugs in the past?

After buying several plastic insulated travel mugs from Starbucks, I was looking for something better. The best thing the Starbucks travel mugs had going for them is that they did not leak, unless you screw the top on too tight; then the rubber gasket comes loose from the lid and it leaks around the gasket. Another reviewer here had mentioned that the Contigo mug she had did not keep hot for the 4 hours indicated. Did a bit more research, including finding both models at a local retailer. The plastic/foam insulated are only rated for 1 hour. The stainless steel/vacuum model is rated for 4 hours and I'm finding that it is indeed keeping water and coffee hot for 4 hours. They're both leakproof, but another big advantage to the stainless steel for me is that it doesn't absorbe taste or odors like the plastic will. I have smallish hands with weak grip strength and the push button mechanism for drinking is not difficult for my hand at all. Will be purchasing another to keep in my suitcase. It's the perfect travel mug.

I bought an expensive coffee maker by a known name brand. It made terrible coffee.

Easy to use. One button: Off and On. Fill up the basket with coffee grounds and the reservoir with water and turn it on. Great coffee awaits. Doesn't seem to burn the coffee when left on the burner for several hours. Stays hot until you turn it off. Good deal.

Question: What retailer did the person use for purchase of their new blender?

Recently my husband and I upgraded most of our small appliances and cookware. We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender, figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. We bought an Osterizer for dirt cheap at a local kitchen supply store and were not impressed with its capabilities. At this point I thought about buying the Kitchenaid but wanted to wait a little while, since the price was rather more than we wanted to pay for a blender.Around Christmas my husband and I visited back home. His grandparents have the Kitchenaid 5-speed blender. We were quite impressed with its capabilities in making a great mudslide; although there were still tiny ice chips in the drink, the blender did quite well in mixing everything very smoothly and with a minimum amount of noise (for a blender anyway).I was able to find one of these wonderful blenders refurbished through Amazon. Since I had earned a couple of gift certificates through my Amazon Visa card I got this for practically nothing. I must say, this would still be worth it even if I did pay full price. Even though it is refurbished it looks like new, and works great. The past few nights my husband and I have enjoyed the same great mudslides that we had in California, and I'm giving away my old Osterizer.Another impressive thing about this blender is its sturdiness. With the glass and the strong base, I'm not worried about this breaking; I was worried about that with all of the flimsy plastic of the Osterizer. When trying to make smoothies on the Osterizer I always kind of winced, afraid that it might blow up at any second. I don't worry about this with the Kitchenaid; this is very obviously a sound appliance.If you are in a money crunch, it's probably best to wait until Amazon has a refurbished model of this blender available; the only visible difference is it comes in a box that states that the product is refurbished. Also you usually won't have your pick of colors; you'll only be able to choose whatever color they have available. But whatever the price this is a great blender and you won't regret the purchase.By the way, I did A LOT of comparison shopping at other sites before I found the refurbished model here at Amazon; Amazon does have the best price on new models that I found, even without the current rebate that Kitchenaid is offering.

Question: What keeps items from falling off this door rack?

Over the years one thing is sure about closet hardware. There are a few good solutions and a whole lot of bad ones out there. Fortunately this Oxo door rack is one of the good ones. This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks. Scuffing is zilch because this flex fit rack is outfitted with silicone contact points. Unlike other over the door racks that I've purchased, this product does not slide and bang against the door. Thanks to the padded hooks, I've had absolutely no problems with garments or hats slipping off and falling to the floor. Unlike the cheapies out there, I've had no issues with opening or closing the closet door. This Oxo product is a welcome closet tool that I use and can easily recommend.

Question: What is a must have weapon of war in the fight against pet hair

There is not a better power-nozzle available for pet hair. The Miele Capricorn with the 236 power-nozzle is the best way to win the never ending battle of cleaning pet hair.I have a 80 pound Staffordshire Terrier. No matter where I go, the pet hair follows. It is mission impossible to keep my house pet hair free. With as much vacuuming as we do in our house, (as well as a nice employee discount) I decided to get the best.I have always heard good things about Miele from my customers. Every customer that comes to our store I will ask them how their vacuums are working. Most vacuums I'll get the usual, I hate it, it sucks, it smells funny, etc. When I ask a Miele customer buying bags how they like their vacuum, 9 times out of 10 the answer is I LOVE IT! Never did I expect such enthusiasm from people about their vacuum. Only after hearing so many customers tell me how good their Miele was, and after seeing how few Miele repairs I was doing, did I become a believer myself.I have had the Miele Capricorn in my home for two years now. I have never had one problem with my vacuum. Vacuuming is never fun, but when you have a good vacuum, it becomes a lot less stressful of a task.The STB 101 hand held turbo brush is a must have weapon in the war of pet hair. This brush is ideal for my stairs and upholstery that seems to get covered in pet hair more then any other place.You will pay more money for a Miele, but the time you will save vacuuming is priceless.

Question: Who recommended this juicer to you?

I have been juicing for years now and decided to upgrade my juicer to the Power Grind Pro. It was working great for about a month and then it stopped yielding as much juice. Fruit and veggies kept getting stuck and pieces would shoot out of the basket. I watched your video a couple of times, doing what it said and I was still having problems. I just didn't have the time to stop juicing to clean and finish juicing to only have to clean it again. However, it did make great almond milk but overall I was very disappointed. I ended up returning. I really respected Drew Canole's opinion (who highly recommended it)......not so much anymore.

Question: What is it ideal for?

This is a cool and very nifty collapsible kettle. The top is silicone, the bottom is stainless steel.It is quite lightweight, and collapses into a pack about the size of a thick paperback. Ideal for camping, travel, and those who have limited kitchen space. Also nice for those who don't use a kettle all that much.In boiling water it worked fast & flawless. The handle and top remain cool to the touch. There was no "off" taste to the water.However, if you let the water sit in it for a couple of days, there is a tiny rubbery taste.I rcvd a sample for review.

Question: Where is this product made?

The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need. And you'll need lots of them, because they're really, really small. They're kind of hard to find in the store, probably because Electrolux disowned the Intensity vacuum (model EL5020A) after having come to the realization themselves that it was terrible.There are six bags and one motor filter in the box. This product is made in China.

The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need.

Question: Do you need to buy special beans for the accessory?

If you love your Keurig because it's a great cup of coffee but not particularly partial to any one of the available k-cups then this is a money saving must-have. Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter.My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight. I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. And don't overfill it, for some reason it doesn't make as much coffee when the reusable filter is too full.I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine.Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!

Question: How does the user describe this products ability to be cleaned?

This is a very handy tool that I know I will use often, not one of those that will sit in the bottom of the drawer. It is very easy to use and clean. My only comment is that while it is called a Julienne peeler, what it produces are very fine shreds, finer than what I would call julienne. But it made quick work of a couple of carrots for salad and produced a size and texture that were much better to my taste than carrot slices and it's a whiz for cole slaw. I've only had it for a short while, but it seems to be very sturdy and I can imagine it holding up well over time. Recommended.

Question: What material were the reviewer's previous measuring cups made of?

If you like a good solid measuring cup then look no further! I was looking for a set of measuring cups to use as a scoop for my dog, cat and bird foods. These are stainless steel and strong. I've used plastic ones and the handles generally snap. The handles on these are nice in that they feature non-slip handles. When scooping the pet food you don't lose your grip and spill kibble or seed all over the place. They do come with a plastic ring that you can use to keep the cups together and then when you need one you can easily slip it off. I don't really need this feature, but it is a nice way to keep them together.

Question: Steamers are great for hardwood floor, because it allows them to be thoroughly cleaned without using what?

i like using a steamer on hardwood floors as it really cleans them without using chemicals. i don't like using vinegar and water either as i think it leaves the floors looking dull. this steamer works, but there are better ones out there. i didn't like the way the pads attach to the steamer. you have to be careful when laundering. i wouldn't put them in the dryer because if they shrink, they are not going to fit. i have used other rags (diaper cloths) with the steamer, but if the material is too thin, i felt it didn't work as well. i prefer some of the newer designed shark steamers over this one. i like the shape and design of the pads better. you don't have to worry about them staying in place as with this one.

Question: What is being reviewed?

I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. I just like to do my routine with creams, lotions etc while in the living room and with so many bottles, cotton pads etc, it could look messy on a shelf or on a side table. This little basket does the job perfectly - it's the ideal size to hold all of my items and is very sturdy, has a very stylish look, the brown blends in with my furniture and so having cosmetic bottles in my living room doesn't look nearly as odd! Also, I like the handles, allows me to transport the basket around with ease. I can imagine using this basket and the same set in different sizes for a million things in the apartment, so I will definitely be ordering more. Highly recommend!

Question: When did they buy these bags?

I bought these when I had a party at my house. These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans. After the party I've used these as my recycling bags that I keep in my pantry and garage. I used to use paper grocery bags, but they'd leak and the handles would often break. These sturdy bags are a nice alternative to my old bags and they hold a lot more so there are less trips to my outside roller cart. Overall a great buy.

Question: What is the brand?

Great strainer- an awesome piece of Kitchenaid accessories. It arrived a little dirty. The handles and bottom are rubberized and make it quiet when you drop it in the sink.The handles are great and sturdy, the whole bowl lining is thick and quality for your needs. It is dishwasher safe or can just be rinsed out.I love that it is not stainless steel. The handles don't heat up when you are straining and it is perfect. The one thing I love, is that it is a large bowl! There is no overflowing or spilling with this product- I love it! Glad I ordered it.

Question: What type milk has a milder less tart taste?

I enjoy using this however it had a learning curve for me. My first batch was runny, I didn't follow the directions! I used cold water from the refrigerator and I didn't use enough boiling water, lesson learned. I've always made my own yoghurt the old fashioned way for years. I use yoghurt in bowls within bowls of warm water, covered, wrapped in turkish towels. For me, easiyo is especially in winter, when I don't have the help of the warmer weather, easier, AND I enjoy the milder less tart taste of the NZ milk as well. That is of course when I use the easiyo sachets to make the yoghurt. Even the plain is sweeter than what we are used to, it's almost like eating custard (in flavour, not texture unless I'm presuming you buy the custard style, which I have not, as I prefer the european style). Again I do make my own as well and yes, I have made my own in this and it works just as well as my bowls and turkish towels.

Question: Where does it fit perfectly at?

My bedroom is very dusty for some reason. I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter. But I didn't want some monstrous thing sitting in the middle of the room. This was an ideal solution. It fits on my nightstand perfectly and I run in 24/7. It's not super quiet, but the white noise is actually a bit soothing. It did take a few days for me to get used to it. The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. After a month or so I took a look at the filter - it was covered in dust - but I simply vacuumed it clean and it seems good as new. Great benefit in my opinion. I hate constantly buying and replacing filters. No need here. Nice, tabletop unit.

Question: What is the volume of the Bodum Chambord coffee press?

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

Question: Is the user going to keep this product?

I wanted one of these so badly. My sister bought this for me as a gift. It is not at all easy to clean. With the first use, the silver backsplatter sheild had burned-on goodness all over it that could not be removed. Cleaning the stuff that goes inside, especially the cage that holds chicken parts, takes some skill and patience - things I don't possess in great measure. The skin of the chicken sticks to the inside. I've tried spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and it helps a little but not enough. Also, a few times the chicken that I had placed in the tray came out bad in some places. At first I thought I was being hoodwinked by the local grocer and getting bad chicken parts. I make my food to bring to work for lunch and can't have the smell of rotting chicken eminating from the microwave in my office and this seems to happen consistenly with this rotisserie. Not when I just bake the chicken in the preheated oven. Right now it's just taking up space on my table. I'm getting rid of it.

Question: How can be sealed cork be tested?

These worked fine for me at first. But the rubber seems to lose some of its filling power over time and doesn't make a tight seal, as I found out when the cork that was sealed slipped out of a red wine bottle on its side. If you buy these I suggest you test it on each use; grasp it by the rim and lift the bottle, making sure it doesn't slip out. When it slips out, its usefulness is over. Also I had the lever mechanism break on one of them. I have since bought a brand at Bed Bath and Beyond that has a much more solid feeling thick toggle in the center, and 1+ years with no problems.
