Question: Who's help did the author not need to install the product?

I got this to go in our bathroom. We have a tile shower with a built in seat and I did not want to drill holes in the tile. Most tension caddys look cheap and fragile or are made of cheap chrome or have plastic shelves that collect mold or chrome shelves that rust. We have not had a tension caddy before but asked friends how theirs held up over time and most with chrome complained about rust. One friend pointed me to this product she has one and has had no rust problems.This is an aluminum pole with stainless steel adjustable shelves. It was well packed and easy to assemble and install. I was able to do it alone with no help from my husband. We have a very high ceiling and I found a spot on the shower seat that was perfect and it positioned securely on the first try. I looks great like a high quality item and it holds a lot. The shelves have to be put on before installation but can be adjusted once installed. It has a five year warranty from the manufacturer.This is a quality product, worth the money.

Question: What was wrong with a couple of the bowls?

For our wedding registry, we chose this Colorwave set. That was more than ten years ago. I liked it because the color (we have green) was attractive, and it wasn't too fancy for everyday use. The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked. The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs, which haven't nicked at all. Considering it's been ten years, I don't think the nicking problem is all that bad. I just have to be extra careful with the bowls. They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another.

Question: How loud was the blender when new?

Loved the blender but the motor died within 6 months. At first the blender was fairly quiet and then as time went by it got louder and louder until I had to wear ear plugs to use it. About the time I had enough of the sound, the motor died completely and threw it away. I did use half frozen bananas in the shakes and thought that maybe that is why it didn't last as long but my mom, who bought this blender about a month after we bought ours just used fresh veggies and fruit and she was just complaining this morning that it was getting obnoxiously loud.... I just bought a 20 dollar unit from Faberware. It is not as good as the Nutri Bullet but a lot cheaper!

Question: How well do both Thermoworks function?

I have both the fast, foldable Thermoworks and the fast, non-foldable. They are equal in speed and accuracy, although the more expensive turns itself off faster. That's about the only difference of any consequence. Great value. If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place).

Question: What old appliance color did the reviewer compare the jar to?

Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered. The others were a fairly uniform yellow Dijon mustard color, as in the photos, but this piece, also described as gold, was more of a slightly orangey gold color, like the old appliance color known as harvest gold. Otherwise it is lovely and of a generous size. I am disappointed that I have had to return it. It would be great if the manufacturer offered a set including the canisters and tool jar, to ensure that everything matched.

Question: How long did it take to cook bacon?

This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time. I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. Draping a napkin over the bacon keeps the splatter down.The bacon came out crispy and dry, just as I prefer. Some reviews said their bacon was rubbery, and I think they just didn't cook long enough. Half-way through cooking, bacon always looks rubbery in the microwave. Keep cooking!

Question: Which tea product leaves no single tea leaf in the brewed product?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

Question: Can you fill your mug while the coffee is brewing?

I drink several cups of coffee per day and have been using a 4 cup Mr. Coffee which performs satisfactorily. This new coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee. If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer. I found that making a half pot or more results in hotter coffee. The coffee maker looks great and I appreciate the simple design that makes it easy to clean the tank, the filter holder and the glass carafe. The grey color looks nice and has a matte finish. Unlike my shiny black Mr. Coffee, this unit does not show finger prints and is easier to wipe clean. Other commentors have covered everything you can say. I have no problem with the carafe but I do remove the coffee filter unit before pouring. To me this is only logical.I paid $59.99 through [...] This site had the lowest price and delivered it in a week or so but were very poor in answering calls or emails. Compared to other small coffee makers this is expensive and has fewer features such as a clock or automatic "turn-on" at a set time. This does not bother me since it only takes about 4 minutes to brew and every other appliance seems to have a clock anyway. When I would set my Mr. Coffee to come on at 6AM it seems I didn't get up until 6:20 and the coffee was already burnt! I stopped using that feature. For me the biggest, though very minor, inconvenience is that you can't pour coffee until the brewing cycle is complete.

Question: Is there an additional tool recommended?

I have purchased Fred Cool Products in the past to make ice. When I saw that they had a mold for Shot Glasses I knew I would give it a try. Ok making ice is pretty basic but these tips I have learned the hard way. First I start out using bottled water and I pour nice and slow so the mold is even. Make sure that you pour evenly and that you have a flat spot in the freezer so they freeze evenly. I than wait 6 hours. I get a plastic bag out and put the tray over it than I gently hit the tray with hammer to help the shooters come out and than I catch them in the bag (I had lots fall out and end up on the floor before i started catching them in a bag.The glasses are a hit for all my friends but remember these are for shots not sipping. Pour a drink and do the shot unless you are using a chilled beverage your glass will start melting instantly. Also, remind your guests to disgard the glasses into the sink once they are done or once again you will have a mess. I have done glasses with coke and poured rum in, I have also kool-aid and poured vodka in. I encourage people to lick the glass and than do the shot.These glasses solve the problem of what to do for big parties and limited shot glasses just start a week ahead you can have as many glasses as you need. Everyone will talk about it and it really adds a sense of fun to your parties.

Question: How does the product work in the dishwasher?

These are a happy addition to my kitchen. I like the bright colors. They handle the dishwasher just fine. The handles are sturdy enough not to bend when measuring brown sugar or other "heavy" ingredients. I recommend them.

Question: How is the knife for cutting?

I like the feel of wood handles, but the handle on this is still quite good.It doesn't have the weight of some knives, but so far that's just a matter of "feel"As a tool for cutting, it works really well. It's very sharp, at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. This wasn't while I was using it. I put it in a place that in hind sight wasn't a good idea. And while reaching for something shoved a finger against the edge. The result was a very deep but very straight/clean cut almost to the bone. Ooops?No urge to rate it down for my own mistake.The drop in one star is just for lighter feel and the edge flutes that haven't helped with any of the things I've been cutting. I had really hoped they would help but they haven't at least for cutting veggies or other very wet things.The weight is a bit of an issue for chopping. But maybe this style blade isn't used for that normally. Not being a serious cooker or chef, I don't know.

Question: The interior of the kettle is what?

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. It is a real winner in my book! i like the safety features of this kettle and especially not having a cord dangle as I'm filling my teapot with boiling water,My expensive coffeemaker has a plastic filter basket which I think imparts a flavor to my coffee. Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal. This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

Question: What happened to one of the trays that caused the purchase of the new one?

As an addition to a new corelle set we bought 2 of these trays 20-something years ago. Well made (China made- at the time not a popular choice). They were made of a very sturdy plastic, gloss finish, and nearly perfectly flat. One of the old trays recently broke when dropped on a sharp object, so i ordered this tray being reviewed. The price seemed high, but i loved those old trays. This is an abomination! The rough finish is warped upwards at least a quarter inch! It can't weigh but one-half of what the older tray does and, it is way overpriced for what you get (same company in raised logo/letters on the back. Shame for selling over-priced crap such as this product! Two stars as i try not to hate anything.

Question: How long has the writer been using the product?

We purchased 2 of these to use in a temporary home this summer. We have now been sleeping on these beds for 2 and a half months. We could not be more pleased. This bed is pricey for a blowup, but worth it. We added good quality bed pads to them under the sheets. They feel more like a real bed than a blowup. You can sit on the edge of the bed, tuck in the sheets and get in and out of the beds easily (an important feature to us as we are over 60). The built-in head board works as promised, keeping the pillows from sliding down the wall. The built-in pump is a necessary feature in any air bed that is going to be used as a real bed. We only need to add air every couple of weeks, but it would be a real nuisance to attach a standard pump that often. Also, a standard pump usually lets out some air as you remove it. I like a firm mattress and this loss always makes standard air mattresses a little too soft for me. This bed can be kept very firm.

Question: Why do they recommend it?

I love the VRT juicer. I watched a few videos on youtube and they helped me decide on this model. It does everything I've put into it, with no issues at all. I do cut the pieces into smaller pieces, and rotate veggies/fruits as I juice (as the videos on you tube suggest) and have had great success. I also do greens like spinach and kale. It's small enough to stay on my countertop which I think reminds me to use it more. Parts are easy to clean and after a few tries I've gotten the hang of it and can put it together pretty quickly. For the price, features, I recommend it!

Question: What about a vacuum made them hate vacuuming originally?

I have owned many vacuums in my life and, because they were so heavy, I hated vacuuming. After throwing away like my 4th vacuum, I decided to get a Dyson. I love the Dyson; it cleans dirt deep down on the carpet and floor. The only problem I have had is hair; it tends to roll over hair instead of picking it up.I do want to add that the problems I have started after I used one of those carpet cleaners. Thus, I can't be sure if the DYSON doesn't like to pick up hair or there is something wrong because the carpet cleaner messed up some parts.Pros:LightweightCleans up the smallest particles of dust and dirtCons:Hard to get cornersLeaves hair, bobby pins, and other debris behindDo I recommend? Yes, highly. I let my neighbor use it and he went to buy one at Walmart because he loved it so much. He realized it was #400.00 and didn't buy it but he loved it just as much as I do.

Question: The knives under review are sharp, but not what?

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 product is the author talking about?

OXO GG Press Sure Corner CaddyThis thing is magic! It is a shower and tub corner stuff holder. It doesn't use ANY glue or screws to hold, just friction. If you have an open corner in your shower or bath tub you can most likely use this. If your corner is heavily coved you may have an issue. If it's a squared corner, get this!After opening the box it comes in you remove the caddy, take off the plastic and paper wrapping, and then step into your shower. Align it to a corner, if you have a small level, use it to straighten it. Then once you are happy, firmly press the big front mounted button and voilà it is now mounted in your corner. This is as easy as it gets. The box and the instructions don't tell you the weight capacity, a major omission from Oxo. Still I loaded it up with two full big bottles of bath stuff and a wash cloth and scrubber. It can hold a bunch more and seemed like it could easily carry a big load.It survived some steamy showers with ease and looks like a great addition to my shower. I'll report back if it ever fails and falls. It easily removes by pulling out the big button, no marks left. This is a fantastic device.

Question: what keeps the napkins secure

I always felt that the traditional napkin holder is one of those products you just can't really improve on, much like the paper clip. But OXO has tried to one-up the napkin holder by producing this device.It works well, as advertised - the weighted arm keeps napkins secure and only dispenses one at a time when a napkin is pulled. However, what problem was this solving? I don't have a problem with napkins blowing away off my kitchen table. Nor do I have a problem grabbing for a napkin and ended up with fifteen in my fist instead of one. Furthermore, since the napkins lay flat, I would suggest that this creates more problems than it solves because it takes up more table surface area.This is way more than I ever anticipated typing about a napkin holder. I deduct one overall star because it's a needless product for reasons mentioned above, but let it keep five stars because, like all OXO products, it's solidly built and works as advertises. And it looks cool.

Question: Is the spoon suitable for deep items?

In our household, we use long spoons for everything: ice cream (even out of the pint container <g>, ice-cream sodas and tall glasses, smoothies, health drinks, and, of course, iced tea. And we use them to get to the bottom of tall cat and dog food cans, tomato sauce jars . . . just about everything! Teaspoons would have us holding on by our fingertips, so we need the length.These smooth spoons have a nice feel and fit on the lip. The bowl of the spoon is shallow enough that you don't leave ice-cream or peanut butter on the spoon--it all gets into your mouth.I'm very happy with the extra long handle length--about an inch and a half longer than my other, older "iced-tea spoons". And the price is excellent.My only complaint is that they are connected tightly to a piece of cardboard by covered wire. The wire was tedious to remove. One wire was broken and will require pliers to remove it because it is wrapped tightly around the neck of the spoon. Nevertheless, I will order more.

Question: What cooking method does this person use for foods that are preserved?

I have been using my mat for about three weeks now and am very impressed.First of all, unlike my "red" ones, this is a nice light blue - and best of all it fits my cookie sheet perfectly!This mentions several "other" ways to use a silicone liner, but as a "canner," I want to mention an area that this comes in particularly handy.First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods. Then, I place the hot jars on top of it while I am filling them. This protects the jars from the cold counter and keeps the mess to a minimum.While I am processing the jars, I do a quick clean up of the mat, drying it off. When the jars are ready, I remove them. Instead of placing them on a towel (which again keeps the cold counter and hot jars from being a problem) I use the mat again and the heat is evenly spread. No problems, no jar issues.I have used it for cookies and appreciate how easily they are removed from the mat.Nice, very nice. I appreciate the complimentary mat I received in order to test it out for a review and it is used on a regular basis, both for baking and for canning.

Question: How many mitts were ordered?

Question: How heavy are the 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 is the number of the different handle sizes?

Saw the review for this in Cooks Illustrated and couldn't believe there was a spatula out there that was real rubber and I had missed it, but here it is! Just like the old Rubbermaids of yore. It is all it says that it is! It has a substantial handle a very good sized "head" and a little notch to clean the bowl. There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. At first I thought the 13" was too long, however, it has become very useful for many jobs around the kitchen.Rubbermaid White Spatula 9 1/2"I have found that they do not pick up color, at least not with my pasta sauce or food coloring when baking; nor do the heads pick up any odor, especially when working with pasta sauce and garlic. Ultimately a very useful and dependable tool to have around the kitchen.

Question: what occasions is this good for?

I had high expectations when I ordered this product. I was hoping that it would be as nice as my tupperware cupcake carrier, only with a handle. Well, don't order this thinking it's going to be a piece of tupperware. Nothing's further from the truth. It's made of that "easy to crack" plastic, making you leery of putting it down anywhere unsafe for glass. It does include a small, glass pie plate which would be nice if it was a deep dish but alas, it isn't. It can hold about a dozen cupcakes too, if you don't just put them all in the pie plate area. But be careful transporting - they'll get all over the place! It's good for its intent - as a pie carrier. I suppose that this is nice for things like picnics, informal get-togethers, etc., but if you're really going to a fancy holiday party, this guy just WON't be appropriate. Just wish the plastic was of a better quality. Recommend, but with the above disappointments.

Question: What do they never need to do?

I use this in a basement closet that is isolated from the rest of the basement (which is treated by a larger dehumidifier.I hooked this up with a timer so it comes on every few hours. Also, even though it is not made this way, I was able to drill a hole in the lower front of the reservoir and plumb a drain tube into the unit (much like you see on larger/more expensive units). This allows it to drain directly into the HVAC drain line in the floor, so I never need to empty it. Take your time with drilling the hole as the plastic is a little brittle, but as long as it's sealed with silicone/teflon tape, you should be good to go!

Answer: empty it.

I use this in a basement closet that is isolated from the rest of the basement (which is treated by a larger dehumidifier. I hooked this up with a timer so it comes on every few hours. Also, even though it is not made this way, I was able to drill a hole in the lower front of the reservoir and plumb a drain tube into the unit (much like you see on larger/more expensive units). <hl> This allows it to drain directly into the HVAC drain line in the floor, so I never need to empty it.

Question: What is is made out of?

I usually cook for an army of one and these are perfect. In a pinch, I've used them to fry breakfast links. Perfect for a quick lunch or side dish. I do lower the recipe temperature when baking. I think these are really impressive when entertaining. With that said, if you're in a hurry they are not so great for reheating because the microwave is a lot quicker.As with all things All Clad, these heat evenly and quickly. Stainless steel is easy to clean. My favorite words in the English language are "dishwasher safe."

Answer: Stainless steel

Stainless steel is easy to clean.

Question: How many emails did this person send the first time around?

I liked it when it worked. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Opening a warranty claim was easy, but it stopped right there. I sent 2 emails, I called twice and I'm still waiting. I have no idea when am I gonna get the replacement etc,etcIt is sad that when they take your money, the transaction is easy and smooth, but when it comes to assume responsibility, they are soo slooow.Update: 08/02/13I received my replacement on 07/22/13 and the replacement stopped working 6 days later! I requested a refund and I have not heard any reply yet. I've had enough. It is a hassle.You have to report, wait,repack the item,drive to Fed Ex to return it, wait for a replacement, etc. (twice)I will update of how good or bad are they in refunding your money.08/22/13Not a word about my refund yet. The last time I checked BBB, Kalorik had an F on their website.09/10/13After countless emails, I was told by Kalorik that they will refund me the money, but the shipping for the defective unit, is my responsability . I paid about $11 today to return the item. Let see what happens next.11/17/13I finally received my refund after SOOO many phone calls and emails.

Question: Was the wok expensive?

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: What was giving the husband back pains?

We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains. Anyways this Mattress Topper has solved that issue and I enjoy the extra softness as well! It is definitely a cheaper alternative than returning our mattress and upgrading to one of the tempurpedic "cloud" series which basically just has a pillow top stitched onto their patented memory foam

Question: What is it free of?

I use it with gunpowder green tea and put a thin layer of tea at the bottom of the infuser....it blossoms up almost to the top.... this works PERFECTLY for me... no tea in the cup... I use it with a large cup but you could use a lot more tea and probably use it in a kettle.I like a good strong steeped tea and let it infuse for awhile...I know, I'm weird -- totally ruined the bouquet or whatever the tea itself... but I'm not after the flavor (which is delish), I'm after the green tea caffeine ;)(and anti-oxidants, of course)The drip cap is perfect... I don't think I fully realized it included this and so that was a huge bonus... I keep meaning to try to steep twice from the same bit of tea but one cup is usually strong enough for me.I wrote the company to find out if the plastic used in this is BPA-free (friend of mine is obsessed with this) and was assured that it is free of BPA... this is a good quality product that I've used every day for 3 weeks.Highly recommended!

Question: Besides a nice grip, what other features does the handle have?

I bought this to replace an old strainer I had used for years that had belonged to my Mother. This OXO strainer was the closest I could find to what I had been using. It seems very well made and the mesh is secure in the handle and does not push out on the sides which will keep food from catching up under the rim.This is actually nicer than I expected it to be, I like it. It will be used for straining seeds out of fresh squeezed lemon/lime juices, pulp from making almond milk, and for any of the smaller jobs that don't require a larger strainer. The little loop on the end helps this balance on bowls making it easy to pour your food without spilling. The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold. I have no doubt that this will last for years.

Question: What is easy to clean?

This Baguette pan, works wonderfully! I baked 6 hoagie rolls on it, at approximately 7 inches long, works like a charm, Beautiful coloring on the rolls, they are light and airy. I definately recommend this product as its functionality, ease of use/clean up, end product after baking, and the great production of hoagie rolls. I live at approximately 4600 ft in altitude and have been working on perfecting the perfect loaves of french bread, hoagies, white bread and artisian. I will definately continue utilizing this pan, and if you do, you will like it as much as I do.. just used water after the rolls baked, no soap.. it was perfect.. as the dough did not seep through the holes, and i did not use parchment paper at all..

Question: how large is it writer's daughters room?

First off - this is a semi-disposable item. The tank is extremely thin and cheaply made and I wonder how long it will last. The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip. I disinfect once a week with vinegar and otherwise replace the water in the tank daily. It's a little bit hard for my wife to align the tank properly when seating it in the base. My daughter loves the pink pig design and most importantly it does a great job of humidifying her room which is probably 14x14 or thereabouts. It's easy to change the amount of humidity. I put a little sticker on the dial so we could get the right amount each night.Update - broke after 3 months. The owl humidifier I got for my son's room made by a different manufacturer still works OK.

Question: Where did the tortillas rest?

My 4 tortilla shell makers came nicely packaged in a box with a free squeeze bottle(?) in it. The side of the box had the baking instructions which were 375 degrees for 8 minutes. I left mine in for 10 minutes when the top edges started to brown. The bottoms were soft still, but when I pulled the tortillas out of the maker and put them on a cooling rack, the bottoms hardened up within a minute or two. I used flour tortillas that were 8" and they worked perfectly. These are a little interesting getting in and out of the oven, but that may be my only complaint. I will get lots of use out of these for our family taco nights!

Question: what were hard to insert properly?

Absolutely love it. Researched a dozen mixers, biggest complaint was that slow speeds were too fast. This one is realllllly slooooow and always starts at the lowest speed. Beaters were a bit tricky to learn to insert properly, finally found the knack for it. Having the blender beater (single) means I can mix dough and beat egg whites or cream separately without cleaning anything in between. Feels like a quality piece of equipment, well made. Hoping I won't experience the failures described by others as I only use it once a week.

Question: What activity can you do when the Roomba is set to clean?

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 were they looking for?

I was looking for an old fashioned flour sack dish towel and thought I would try these BUT they are so small - especially after I washed and dried them! I was pretty disappointed in them SO I went back on Amazon and looked for something better for dishes. I finally found the RIGHT ONES….instead of buying these PLEASE check out the AUNT MARTHA'S 33 X 38 INCH FLOUR SACK DISH TOWELS!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME! MUCH MUCH better than these! I was looking for extremely absorbent dish towels and large ones that won't shrink….and these are NOT the right ones to buy.

I was pretty disappointed in them SO I went back on Amazon and looked for something better for dishes. I finally found the RIGHT ONES….instead of buying these PLEASE check out the AUNT MARTHA'S 33 X 38 INCH FLOUR SACK DISH TOWELS!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME! MUCH MUCH better than these!
