Question: what was the problem with the sunbeam buzzer?

It is very simple to use and I don 't know why I stuck with manual timers as long as I did. My last timer which was a Sunbeam manual timer cured me of my ignorance; it couldn't keep proper time and would sometimes stop ticking all together or other times the buzzer wouldn't ring or very softly.This timer costs less than any timer I have previously bought but you get a lot of bang for your buck! I really liked the memory function so when I make cookies for example with one push of a button; I can reset it for the same time again and again.

Answer: wouldn't ring

Question: What brand are the liners?

Got the standard size white cups; nothing special about them as they're just your basic white cupcake liner. Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? There's NO need for holes!) So, my first impression - unsanitary. They should be tightly packaged, especially for being a food-related item you can't wash. It was literally covered in brown dust/fine powder like it was on the shelf for months without dusting and I know some of this dirty powder got into the wrapping via the holes on both sides; hence onto the liners. I've a neuroticism about cleanliness so this was a turn-off. I'm going to be baking foods in these things and it's not like you can wash them beforehand, because hello, they're thin paper! I subsequently purchased the Wilton cupcake linersWilton Assorted Baking Cups, 75 Countwhich were not only cheaper (and didn't have any of the dust blanketing the product's casing) but were also of much higher quality; plus, the packaging of these liners were enclosed in a tough plastic wrap with ZERO HOLES for dirt to get in.

Question: In which way is the new one different from the Smith's CCKS 2-step Knife Sharpener?

Yeah, it's cheap. It's tiny. And it's the same thing as the Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener, just modified to be kitchen-friendly.I had the Smith's sharpener and was ready to move on to something better. I should've been more careful when purchasing. It's not a satisfactory sharpener for a slightly-discerning chef. Not bad, but without a blade guide your technique will determine consistency. The edge is functional but if you're doing some technical/fancy chef style cutting, it's just not enough.

Question: What food can you cook on the pan?

I truly love this pan. It is worth every penny I paid for it. I usually cook with Calphalon (the original), but after researching grill pans, decided this would be the one and I have never regretted the purchase. I use this pan 3-4 times per week; it does well with fish, steak, hamburgers and the ubiquitous chicken breasts. I also grill peppers and onions on it for fajitas. Cleaning is really never a chore; don't ruin the pan by trying to put it in the dishwasher, though. Not a replacement for my BBQ, but much easier to fire up, especially during the cold 2009 winter in OR.

Question: How does the coffe made by the French Press taste?

At a reasonable cost, one can determine if using a French Press is at all appealing. The unit, though possibly effective, seems flimsy for long-term use. But, after finding a congenial grind which takes some time, one might then wish to "graduate" to a more expensive (and clearly superior and durable) press.UPDATE: Pitted against "conventional" Cuisinart and Gevalia 12 cup coffee machines, and using brown filters, the equivalent density of coffee from the press is totally unacceptable to my taste. Exceedingly mild and flat in flavour. However it does superbly with loose tea. Also, it should be noted that a 33 ounce capacity yields about 4 standard cups, not 8.

Question: What is the brand?

The 1-cup and 2-cup Pyrex measuring cups are indispensable in the kitchen. I'm sure I use one or the other at least every day. I have two of each size because larger cooking adventures of require multiple measurements and sloth or time demands often preclude prompt washing.It is very easy to set the cup on a counter and pour a liquid to just the right level. I have large hands and either cups fits them well. I also use the cups for tasks such a heating or melting items in the microwave. Liquids pour well from the cups which can't be said for far too many containers.

Question: What did I buy?

My first thought while taking the first glass our of the box was; "wow, are these crystal?". Well, they aren't but it might fool some people. No ringing rims like crystal but they weigh as much and feel the same. Although 1 of the 4 pack was broken (Amazon refunded the purchase and let me keep the other 3) they seem very rugged and have thick sidewalks. If you like heavy, quality feeling glassware, these are a fab deal!

Question: Would this customer say that the bowl was aesthetically appealing?

I am very happy with the Black and Blum Fruit Loop. It is very well made, has a shiny chrome finish which, coordinates beautifully with my stainless steel kitchen appliances, and is very pretty to look at. It holds 5 or 6 apples easily, and can fit other types of fruit. It is a very modern take on a fruit bowl, but it functions very well as one. It has become a conversation piece in my kitchen because it is so unique and pretty. And it goes very well with my contemporary kitchen. I received mine in a timely fashion. If you are looking for a very modern, unique fruit bowl, then this is for you. I highly recommend it.

Question: How many stars were given to the item?

I gave this organizer three stars because it seems well made, however I couldn't actually use it because it didn't fit any of our doors. It was wide enough to fit over the top on some of the inside doors on our 1960's era home, but not our door to the garage, where I wanted to use it. On the doors where it did fit on the top, we decided not to use it because it made the doors difficult to close, and my husband concerned that the top of the rack was bulky enough to damage the doors if we tried to force close them.I have a different brand of over the top door hangar and that actually fits our bedroom and closet doors with no issues, and I am able to close the doors just fine. So I am not sure what is up with this particular door rack. Overall I usually really like OXO products, so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe this rack fits the doors on newer homes better. But for me this was a product I could not use.

Question: What are these towels made out of?

These towels are, well, fine. They don't stand out in any real way. They aren't extra thick, or soft, or absorbent, or pretty---they are just standard white cotton dishcloths with blue trim. I used and washed them a few times, and they washed pretty well, but didn't really get softer or better (or worse) with washing. They are not fuzzy or plush---they are broadcloth cotton. I don't think they'd fall apart or anything like that, but they really don't stand out in any way. I'd get them if you feel the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special.

Question: Why am I giving it two stars?

I purchased this steam mop because I love "clean", but hate the time it takes to get there. Here are the pros and cons on this product IMO: Pros: generates lots of steam FAST; the mops are very easy to put on and take off using hook and loop fasteners; very light appliance and easy to push around; loooong cord; the powerful steam really does pick up dust and dirt effectively. The reason I'm giving this two stars is because: the handle is weak and feels flimsy to use (and if you have to constantly be pushing it forward to generate steam it should feel sturdy); the mop head stays in a fixed position and does not swivel, therefore; does not get in hard to reach places like the base of the toilet or tough corners. Because the above is my main reason for purchasing an appliance like this I was disappointed it didn't perform up to my expectations. I returned this product and purchased the Bissell Green Tea instead and love it!

Question: What does the steamer in an iron do to clothes in order to avoid taking them to the dry cleaner?

It's not that using the iron is so terribly difficult but, with garments made of linen or wool, you can often iron in such a way that a seam becomes permanently visible. The steamer allows you to get rid of creases and wrinkles without leaving collateral marks on the clothes. It also is a great way to "refresh" otherwise clean clothes that I'd normally send to the dry cleaner just to get them to hang properly again.The hanger that's included isn't that great, but when I substitute my own padded hangers it's ideal.For whatever reason, using the iron seems like a chore, but using the steamer is like playing with a toy. It's easy to set up and operate, plus it saves me money! I love it!

Question: From what material is this person's other soap holder made?

Keeps the soap hi-n-dry with ease. I like its simple rectangular shape with rounded corners, and it's big enough to hold very large bars of soap. The chrome look matches my faucet and is fairly unobtrusive. I particularly like the large drainage holes in the top part of the holder - really lets the water slough off the soap so it never gets soggy. Glad I bought this! I'll probably wind up buying another one when my wooden soap holder/drainer disintegrates, as they inevitably do (this stainless one will probably outlast me!).

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.

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. <hl> 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. <hl> 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 fits the bathroom appeal of many?

The beige textured background that mimics rice paper along with a plethora of butterflies and dragonflies amongst tall grass make The Lorraine Home Fashions Enchantment Shower Curtain very pretty! The neutral tones in the design certainly can fit the bathroom appeal of many. You can really base an entire theme off of just the curtain. For example, you could use ecru towels to softly blend or chose a more standout out color from the curtain to add appeal to your bathroom.This is your standard size curtain that measures 70-inch x 72-inch. It's fabric contest is PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) which is free from chlorine, pvc, and its biodegradable. The material is basically chemical free, non-toxic, and safer for the environment. The holes are sized accordingly and it was easy to hang up. The creases from it being packaged went away after several showers. If I need it to be cleaned, I can do so with a damp cloth. The shower curtain isn't see-through at all.It's holding up well so far and in my opinion a good substitute to more expensive options such as the fabric types out there. Overall, it's a good price, nice design and I would recommend it. If this design isn't for you, note that the company offers many other nice designs.

Question: How much of the powder was added for the fondant?

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 one of the cons?

This replaced my first Cuisinart Smartstick which did rough duty for years before one of the blades broke on some ice (I'm not even sure you're supposed to used it on ice, but I did for years.)I use it VERY regularly. Its primary duty is making breakfast shakes/smoothies/frappachinos for my daughters before school. I love it because I can cook potatoes, carrots, etc and then blend them IN THE POT for various recipes. I have gifted it to others.VERY easy to clean. Most mornings I rinse well under hot water immediately after use and throw in the dish drainer and that's it. Every few days I cycle it through dishwasher on top rack. MUCH easier to clean than my old style hand blender.Con: It REALLY purees things...too creamy sometimes. For example, I don't use it for mashed potatoes anymore because they come out too creamy ... just a weird consistency, But for potato soup it is perfect.

Question: What brand name has gone beyond just being a simple brand name?

Ok, so 'Thermos' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - but this little container reminds us once again of how Thermos got to be the standard. Pre-warmed, or pre-cooled as directed, this will absolutely and reliably keep hot beverages hot, and cold beverages cold ... for hours. It is compact enough to fit into the cupholders of most modern automobiles - which is not something one could say of the regular, old-fashioned full-sized Thermos. Alas, that very same handy size only holds 16 ounces - not enough to share a hot drink with a crowd. I anticipate though, that the next development in the Thermos line will be something like the Tardis, in that it has a bigger capacity on the inside then appears from the outside - say, holding a gallon, while still only appearing to have a 2-cup capacity. Until then, though -- this will do very nicely.

Question: How is the wight of the pan described?

I never thought I'd love a bread pan so much. The pan has a nice weight. My bread comes out evenly cooked and perfectly browned on the sides and bottom (as well as on the top). I greased my pans the first 3 times, but the last time I baked bread, I didn't grease the pans and the loaves slid right out. These are truly non-stick (unlike my older "non-stick" teflon loaf pan). I also love that these are made in America. I've recently switched to baking all of our bread, rather than buying sandwich bread, and plan on picking up 2 more of these (I already have 2).

Question: What kind of mop is being reviewed?

This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. We have stone tiles in the kitchen and I've been finding it hard to clean lately. I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been boiling water and using that as mop water. This is perfect -- saves me a step and works twice as well! The cord is really short, so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint. I also wish there was another cloth that came with it so I would always have one ready when the other one is in the wash. Quick to heat up and quick to dry as well. Really enjoying this product!

Question: What fits well in spaces that do not have much room?

I love these trash cans. They look clean and fit well in tight spaces like I needed. Only downside is they are fragile and easily dented. I ordered two of them on the same order and both arrived with dents in them. They were packaged in a box barely big enough to hold them with no padding or protection other than thin plastic bag. Fortunately I was able to situate each can so the dented side is against a wall so it doesn't show. If you are lucky enough to get yours undamaged, I'm sure you will be pleased with this trash can.

Question: What kept going off?

I've been using my Breville three months now and love it. I live alone so this is a perfect little oven for me! The only problem I had was my smoke detector kept going off when I used "broil" I learned to overcome this problem by using the lower rack instead of the suggested top rack. (you can always make adjustments with this oven)Pizza is great as I can set the oven for two small slices. What an improvement over using a microwave which totally deletes the taste of pizza.I also bake my own granola in my oven and much more.Kay

Question: Who did the reviewer buy it for?

I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. So I bought him this (and so I could secretly use it because stale pepper is a pet peeve of mine) Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. Cute, but I think next time I will spring for the pricier one and hope it works better.

Question: Harder items should be accompanied by what?

...... we found that it is not as powerful as we expected. The blender works better if "frozen" fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut / sliced into smaller bits and crushed ice instead of cubes. Harder items should be added first another with some type of liquid before softer items otherwise the blade just spins. Don't overload the blender! The blender does what it says it will do, providing you follow the instructions and enjoy "thinner" smoothies. This blender is rather loud but expected.

Question: How does this customer think the ice balls look?

Pretty easy to use. Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. Just make sure not to overfill! All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great! I can't wait trying these with something other than just water! Maybe some lemon, or juice...mint leaves perhaps? :)

Question: Does the holder work with different brands of razors?

Works as advertised. The only thing i wish it didn't have was "hang away" right smack in the middle of the front of the product. This product only comes in white but can probably be easily spray painted to match any decor shower bathroom etc wherever you put it. It can fit up to four toothbrushes and two razors comfortably (I was able to fit three razors, two being venuses and one being schick sp? comfortably on one product. I bought two of these products in case I needed another one but haven't used the second one. You have to mess with it since all different toothbrushes and razors are different sizes. It sticks on whatever surface you want it to be on. I haven't taken it off so I'm not sure what that is like but judging from what stuck it on seems to take some elbow grease to take it off but it will come off completely but that goes to show that this thing will hold some pretty heavy things and if you really wanted to I'm sure it would hold an oral b electronic toothbrush. Just follow the instructions to put it on and you are good to go. This product works great and hasn't come off or moved the slightest and i've had it for almost a year and i've cleaned my bathroom numerous times with this thing still in place and i've even scrubbed the sides of this product. there's not much build up that gets stuck around the product where i put it but i guess it depends on where you put it if gunk will build up around it but if it does like i said i've scrubbed the product and around it and it hasn't moved. Great product i would buy again

Question: Who did the author get this for?

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: how many years have they made saurakraut?

Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. I worry that my simple old two-knife shredder will wear out so I purchased this item as a backup. Firstly, the "current" model Weston Shredder does not have the plastic or laminate base shown. It has a thin, non-laminated, non-plastic wood base that will warp with usage. The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable. The blades are held in place with hand-hewed chips of wood wedged and glued into place. I think there is more chance of this slicer self destructing that there is of my old model wearing out.

Firstly, the "current" model Weston Shredder does not have the plastic or laminate base shown. It has a thin, non-laminated, non-plastic wood base that will warp with usage. The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable. The blades are held in place with hand-hewed chips of wood wedged and glued into place. I think there is more chance of this slicer self destructing that there is of my old model wearing out.

Question: Where is it safe to wash the stick?

We've been using this product all Summer, with great results. Our 'normal' stick (an East Coast stick, as I understand that they are different on the West Coast) fits in fine - you do need to 'load' it from the bottom (remove the plunger, then insert), but that's not hard at all. Curved to 'fit' the ear of corn. And, we've had no issues with the top falling off. I do suppose it's true that it's not an airtight seal, but we've gone through its' capacity (1/2 stick) in no more than 2 meals, so it's not really an issue for us. It's also top-rack dishwasher safe, so clean-up is a breeze.

Question: What is this good for?

Other reviewers have already said it, and I'll support all the comments ... this pot is great for homebrewing! It is heavy duty but not heavy (an advantage of aluminum). Having brewed in it a couple of times, it has already begun to develop a patina that will serve to protect the pot in much the same way as seasoning a cast iron skillet. Sure, I'd rather have a stainless steel pot, but a similar quality SS pot would cost several times as much. I don't subscribe to the theory that aluminum pots in home brewing causes Alzheimer's disease, but I keep forgetting why. I just use my Winware pot and never look back. I wish it fit in my sink for easier cleaning, but it's about an inch too wide to fit inside either side of my two bowl sink. Not a big deal for me though.

Question: What is used to stir the Cream of Wheat into the boiling water?

I make Cream of Wheat about once a week (more if I'm sick) and it requires a whisk to stir it into the boiling water so it doesn't lump together. Having non-stick pots, meant I was using a large non metal spoon which left lumps in my Cream of Wheat. This whisk is perfect. No scratches on pot and mixes well, no lumps. It also washes up nicely in the dishwasher. I like this so much, I would buy it to be included with a kitchen themed gift (think bridal showers or weddings).

Question: What type of rice requires a special feature on the rice cooker?

This rice cooker cooks my rice perfectly every time. I have grown up using rice cookers from the $30 models to the nicer Sanyo micro-processor models. The Zojurishi comes in handy to not only cook rice for large groups, but also to keep rice warm and ready for consuming for around two days. The 10 cup model is also good for one or two rice eaters. i believe you have to cook atleast two cups of rice, but the cups are smaller cups (i believe a 3/4 cup measuring). Although I haven't cooked brown rice yet it has some special settings for the GABA brown rice, which i will be switching to once my 15lb bag of jasmine long grain white rice is used up. Also, I still wonder why Zojirushi does not include any rice cleaning bowls, but make sure you grab one to easily wash your rice before cooking!I got mine using the Amazon warehouse for a discounted price and I couldn't really tell "the box was opened and the item was repackaged" since all of the stickers were still on it and it was well packaged. I saved over half the price as well going with this option. I love mine, get one!

Question: how does the actual product differ from the photo?

I had been looking for a magnetic note pad center for quite some time and I just couldn't find one that I really liked. Then I came across the Forma Memo Center and I really liked what I saw. It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator. So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup. I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. They have a great weight to them and the magnetic backing is more than capable of holding it in place. They also look very nice, much better than I expected them to look. While it looks nice in the picture, it definitely looks much better in person. We have a stainless steel refrigerator so the memo center and pencil cup just blend right in. If your looking for a stainless steel magnetic memo center then you should definitely give this one a look.5 stars!

Question: What was purchased 4 years ago?

I purchased this mattress mostly based on prior experience. I had purchased a memory foam mattress from Amazon about 4 years ago and it was perfect - and comfortable. I thought I was buying the same item based on price and description. I bought this mattress about 6 months ago when I moved. It's not the same mattress! As others noted it never expanded to the full 10 inches (mine went to about 9 - which is OK) but the lower corners (especially 2) of the lower-firm-foam didn't fill out much - the corners are only about 4 or 5 inches thick. This does not affect sleeping comfort and actually makes it easier to put the fitted sheets on. At $300 vs. $1200+ for local priced twin memory foam I suppose one can't complaint too much - but I would not have accepted such a defect if I didn't have to send it back - and that's not easy from Alaska. After sleeping on the mattress for 6 months it is very comfortable and still no "dips" in my usual sleeping position - but those corners still bother me every time I change the sheets! Considering the price I would still buy my next memory foam mattress from Amazon but would not buy this brand.

Question: what do you need to get?

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

Question: What was the first thing used to chop?

It's too late to send this back!! (fume!!) This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz.....THE WHOLE CHOPPER IS KAPUT,DEAD, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!!

Question: What substance is recommended in case of burns?

I absolutely love these potholders!!!! I have four sets of them. They are great as potholders but they also have other uses. I place them under cutting boards to keep them from sliding on the counter when I am chopping. I also use them to keep bowls firmly on the counter if I am whipping cream. I also use them as trivets when placing hot pans on my counter top.My only caution regarding this product is that you need to be aware of the location of the hole in one corner of the potholder. I didn't pay attention one day and got a nasty burn pulling a very hot pan out of the oven. If you are a bit of a klutz, like me, best to keep 100% aloe in the house just in case you do what I did. Repeated applications of aloe took the burn out of the fingertip in a few hours. I was very fortunate. I hope this doesn't happen to you.I highly recommend this product.

Question: What's the product made of?

There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work.

Question: What brand of dish is this?

I have other Butterfly Meadow items (bowls of different sizes), and they seem to be thinner, more delicate and more elegant than this dish. I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful -- but it is not as dainty as the bowls, and it's a disappointment.The other complaint I have is the same as I have with Butterfly Meadow plates (which is why I'm not buying them) -- the pretty pictures of flowers and butterflies are in the middle (in the bottom) so they get covered by food. It makes no sense. The designer wasn't thinking straight. For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table).

Question: If you lose power and regain it again, what happens?

We have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater.The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. We were looking for an alternative which would still keep our play room nice and toasty warm. Since I already had one smaller Lasko heater and was thrilled with it, we decided to get this one on sale and give it a try.So far it has kept our large basement at 70 degrees and has not run that much even though it is really cold up here in NE PA.Now if the electric bills are less than last year that will be the icing on the cake. And I am pretty sure they will be, considering our baseboard is an inefficient killowat sucking machine. ;)Update 1/21/10The heater is still working well and has kept my basement at 70 degrees all through the cold, cold winter. We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009. (we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill.One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. If you are away for the weekend and get a power spike you should expect whatever area was dependant on the heater will be quite cold.
