Question: What should you do when you want to reseal the jar?

I have only played with this product, but I can get it to vacuum and stay sealed. You just have to hold the jar sealer firmly on the jar. I did not use two lids, wash or heat the lid or jar. The first time I tried it it did not work and I thought I should have listened to the bad reviews, the second time I just held the sealer on the jar firmly and it sealed like it should. No problems. I am going to enjoy these. I have the wide mouthed one too and I believe they will pay for themselves in no time. A tip for both sealers. Take a push pin or thumb tack and poke a hole in your lid. Cover the hole with a piece of tape( I used a bit of duct tape) then seal your jar. When you get ready to unseal the jar just pull the tape back and let the air in. You don't have to pry the lid off. To reseal just fold the tape back over the hole.

Question: What hadn't the author done the first time using the product?

I read everything about this in the reviews before I made this purchase, When it arrived all the instructions were followed and we put it together. The next weekend, It was great..worked wonderful and I put all the attachments on for the steps. After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction. I got it back in but if this is going to keep happening I am going to return it. I did write an e mail to Hoover about it but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up.So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. I order on line because I cannot go pick up heavy items such as this nor take it to a shop to have it repaired..it shouldn't need any repairs for years in my opinion. I rely on products this large being Hassle free!

Question: What is the tool made from?

I eat a lot of tuna. This is why I bought this tool. It works very well, and drains all of the water from the fish before I make tuna salad sandwiches - which means NO water should remain. You can squeeze all of the water out easily, and the tool is easy to clean.The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is made of plastic. For so many years our family owned these and they were metallic. I think it would be much better if this were made from stainless steel or heavy duty aluminum. I still use it often. A good purchase.

Question: How would this user change the water reservoir?

The iron is light-weight, so it is easy to handle and maneuver. Also, the instructions are very simple and understandable, which is nice given that the iron has many functions. The steam feature has many different uses, including an upright steam capability. There are three different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent, which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing. Overall, I am very happy with my iron as it is easy to use and does a great job.If I could change something about this iron, I would make the tip more narrow for increased precision. Also, it would be convenient if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use. Other than that, I am quite pleased!

Question: Does this person have a husband or wife?

I have used this product for the last 6 months without any issues.Since we have a septic system and not public sewers it is very important to me that nothing but water goes down the drain. It is absolutely amazing as to what this tiny little thing strains and keeps from my septic system.I have very long hair and before I bought this I would have to pull up my stopper things and pull the collected hair off of it since my sink would start draining slow after a couple of weeks. It was a pain to do. With this it is simple and easy to keep stuff from going down the drain.And if you are prone to dropping earrings or rings slipping off of your finger, then this product is a MUST ---I never have to get my husband to unhook the pipes to fish out my errant earrings ever again!

Question: What size job is this used for?

This is a great niche tool which does it's job very well so far. It's easier and faster to use that an vacuum on most surfaces. It handles 80% of of what I used to use my vacuum or dustbuster for. Sometimes you need something smaller or other times you need the power and versatility of a big vac-but I can eally get by just using this most of the time. It doesn't run for hours, probably not as long as a hand vac if you use the roller brush, but frankly I haven't used it that long to find out. I take it out, do whatever small job needs to be downa and I plug it back in to the recharger. No issues so far and i'm very happy with it...

Question: Why was it difficult to cut?

I did not like this product. I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean.Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner.CONS:- very difficult to cut, especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend. At least look for something without the ridges and that is not so stiff!

Question: Why should you plan your counter top space?

This baby is the bomb! I bought this for my husbands birthday and I have been celebrating ever since! This does a great job making drinks! I can't believe how well it shaves ice; it makes great icee's also! This is a big machine so plan your counter space appropriately. The pitcher it comes with is glass so we bought an extra plastic pitcher to keep the drinks flowing. This truly makes great margarita's, better than any bar we've been to so don't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Question: What is too much of a hassle?

It's not the pan so much as the condition it arrived in that I'm reviewing. It came slightly damaged. Instead of a pristine flat baking surface, there are some dents in the pan's surface. They're small and it'll be too much hassle to return it, but I suspect this was not damaged in shipping but rather it was sent already damaged. Amazon either missed it or they didn't care and sent it anyway.When all is said and done, it'll probably be fine, or good enough, but I have to tell you, it's a bit of a downer when your brand new item comes damaged, and it's a hassle to return it, particularly when my printer is out of order and I can't print a return label, or one's plans require the item's use immediately, regardless, so one is pretty much forced to accept it or put more work in returning it than it's worth and ruin one's weekend baking plans besides. Maybe whoever sent it like that knew the customer would probably keep the damaged item as long as it wasn't TOO damamged, so sent it anyway - I dunno - but it's unsatisfactory.

Question: What is made well?

This is a well constructed, easy to assemble, nice looking TV stand. It easily supports my Samsung 55" LED TV. The plastic feet allow it to slide nicely on a hard-wood floor, so you can easily pull it away from the wall to manage TV connections.I had to ding it one star for the cheap-plastic "decorative rings" between each leg piece, and the difficult to remove inspection stickers on every item; the stickers indicate that they are doing good quality control, but they need to use a sticker that doesn't leave a sticky mess on 16 different pieces. It took me longer to get all the stickers off than to put the thing together.

Question: What was the box like when the package arrived?

I ordered this and it was delivered fast but in an extremely damaged box with only a sheet of packing paper shoved in one side. It had been dropped on the small handle end and dented, and there were dents in the metal trim ring of the lid. Amazon immediately sent me out a replacement and I had it in less than 2 days; but the replacement had even less packing and had similar but smaller dents from banging around inside the box. I kept it since it wasn't too bad to be used. If it starts to chip or peel the non-stick where the dent was, I'll update the review - but so far (2 weeks) it is still looking great.

Question: What kind of bag is the soap in?

I've had a good experience with this bottle, but I haven't been using is for lotion as the name suggests. I buy Dial antibacterial hand soap in large eco-friendly refill bags (Dial Eco-Smart Pomegranate & Tangerine Antibacterial Moisturizer Hand Soap Refill) and pour it into this dispenser, using it as a soap dispenser in my home bathroom. I've been doing this since July of last year (so 7 months now) and I've not had any problems with the bottle. We are a family of 4, all using a single bathroom. So the bottle sees a lot of use. But it's never clogged or leaked or anything like that.I can't say how will it does or doesn't work for lotion, but it works great with liquid Dial soap!

Question: When is the dehydrator mainly used?

Having read so many negatives, I couldn't believe we are talking about the same product. I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years. I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. I have not had any bad luck with it. Maybe I wasn't expecting a Rolls Royce for the price I paid - but it has certainly paid for itself many, many times over.

Question: How long do you spend in bed?

We have friends that sometimes will have a few too many and end up staying the night at our place with some frequency. The bed in our guestroom isn't the most comfortable (so we've been told by family and our friends). I saw this on sale and thought it'd be a good purchase, and it has been. We've had three separate comments since the switch about how comfortable it is to sleep on our guest bed. I'd definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to change the feel/comfort level of a bed.I wish I had something like this in college, as it blows the standard "egg crate" away. Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's hard to justify not spending $100 or so to vastly improve your quality of life.

Question: What is one downside to the bottle?

I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink. But I have to admit -- it's handy. I especially like having one in the car.I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. But I don't like it when the water gets warm and in the summer, leaving the bottle in the car means hot drinking water. Yuk. So I wondered, there must be insulated bottles and sure enough found this one.Love it.It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool.The spout is handy and flips open easily. It doesn't leak at all.

Answer: It's a bit smaller than most

I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink. But I have to admit -- it's handy. I especially like having one in the car. I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor.

Question: How much does this cost?

Easy to fill and clean. Fits perfectly, but you first have to remove the original K-cup holder already in the machine when you purchased it. With some tugging and prying, the original K-cup holder pops right out. The new filter basket slips right into place. When you want to brew a pre-sealed K-cup, you have to remove this device and put the original basket back in. This is just plain annoying.I like that the top snaps on and off easily. It keeps all the coffee grinds contained in the filter. Nothing spills out. I do, however, find a bit of sludge in the bottom of my coffee cup. I don't notice a decline in taste or strength of the coffee. The filter makes as good a cup of coffee as the sealed K-cups. It has to be removed, cleaned and refilled after every cup.This K-filter is nothing but cheap plastic and a little bit of mesh. It shouldn't cost more than $2.99 at best. Keurig should have placed this cheap plastic gizmo in with their machines instead of charging an extra $15 for it. It's disgusts me that this crucial filter didn't come with the machine.

Answer: $15

Question: where did they put the sheets?

I ordered these sheets and must say was a bit surprised at the thinness of them, esp to be 1500 thread count. All of my other 1500 count sheets are really thick and cannot be seen thru. These sheets were very light and you can see through them BUT they were SO soft! I washed them and put them on my bed immediately. I had a great night sleep! They were incredibly soft and comfy. They also fit my pillow top matress that has a 4" memory foam topper perfectly. I find it difficult to find even deep pocket sheets that fit well. I came back and ordered 2 more sets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Question: What kind of pattern does the curtain contain?

What makes the Pinzon Hotel Stitch Shower Curtain, Silver Blue, stand out is its stark whiteness. It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory.The curtain itself, when paired an inexpensive liner, makes a nice upgrade to one's bath, and if it proves truly washable, then its value is cinched. But the sheer expanse of white also poses a potential target for all manner of liquid soaps, shampoos, and rinses. The true test lines ahead in the heat of bathing.

Question: What is the cup's primary material?

This is a beautiful, solid, stainless steel cup. I was searching for a stackable set of stainless steel cups for holding cold beverages, and this fit the bill to a T.These remind me of the stainless cups they use in India for water.There are no "indentations" on the side.

It is spill proof, has better insulation, and built like a tank, but it is NOT dishwasher safe.

Question: How often does the writer grill meat?

We picked up a William Sonoma remote meat/temp probe a while back. After long use, the probe cord material starts to crack (especially if you let the grill get too hot). ONce the insulating material starts to crack the probe reading becomes variant and intermittant if at all. I ordered this on line as I could not find a replacement for my "William Sonoma" Brand. Works like a charm. I've booked marked this part as I'm sure I'll need another one in a year or two .. but then we smoke and grill all the time

Question: How many hooks does this product have?

There's a lot of function packed into this product. Besides being able to support the weight of as many soap and shampoo bottles that you can fit on top of it, but it has a small bar and two hooks for your rag, loofah or whatever other accessories you use in the shower. If you shave in the shower you can also hang your disposable razor in the hooks. The bottom of the shelf has small openings in it so water can drain.Installation is a snap - quite literally. Once you make sure the pads on the side are attached (if they're not, it's a simple matter to reattach them). You place the shelf in the corner where you want it, and give the button a nice firm press, and boom - you're done. If you don't like where it is, you just pull the button out and start over. Since it works by pressure and not by adhesive, there won't be any marks on your tile. I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems.This might be a little pricey at first glance, but it is very well-made of quality material and does its job perfectly with no flaws, making it worth the $30 price point in my book.

Question: What type of furniture was the author given by someone else?

My bed is a hand-me-down, and it was firm. I wasn't to happy with it but I made due. I prefer a soft bed and so with a foam liner and a decent comforter I made due. After many nights tossing I got this and with those three combined I am much happier. Its not the most plush one out there, but its pretty cozy. At about 2 inches thick and made into squares to keep the materials from shifting too much its pretty nice, especially considering the cost. (Im in the poorhouse at the moment)That all being said, I still use a foam pad under it and a comforter on top to make the bed practically a cloud, and considering how firm it was I must give a good deal of credit to this particular product. So if its just a little extra softness your body craves it will help, but it wont work miracles on its own should you be trying to get from washboard to body-pillow comfort.As far as quality goes, time will tell. So far after a few weeks its doing fine. First wash went ok. The stuffing still in place, but again after many nights on it even the best start to loose their fluffiness. How long will it go only time will tell, but for now, Im enjoying the Z's.

Question: What must be done first before activating the bread machine?

I really like this machine. I have made bread for years by hand but found I was making it less and less. I bought the book " The bread machine cookbook" at the same time that I bought this bread maker. It is a perfect compliment. I have made about ten different recipes from this book and they all have been perfect. The machine works very well and is very easy to program for the different types of breads. I now make organic bread when ever we need it. It just requires adding all of the ingredients and just turn it on.

Answer: adding all of the ingredients

Question: What do they freeze?

I bought these because I do a lot of freezing of extra milk or fruit or vegetable juices that I make up. I wanted something that would give me a 'glassful' of juice or milk thawed out at a time. I liked what I got. I got a new juicer and the carrots that had been waiting for me to juice were going bad. I had a lot of carrots to process in one day and I needed to store them in the freezer. These were perfect! I got all the carrots processed and put in these little jars into the freezer and saved a lot of money by not having to throw out carrots or carrot juice that I couldn't drink in one day (fruit and vegetable juices that are fresh juiced need to be drank the same day if in the 'fridge.) I just finished off the last 8-ounce jar of juice today that I had stored in the freezer. I'll be repeating the process next week when I get more juicing carrots in 15 pound bags. I'm grateful to have these jars from Ball for all my freezer needs. There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon. I found that when I figured it out, those would be more cost efficient for my needs. But these are great if you don't have allot to freeze. I highly recommend these.

Question: Whic store should carry Finazzle but does not?

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

Question: Does the item have any accessories?

This unit has a nice large 14 cup bowl along with a smaller one, a nice idea. As with all food processors there are safety features and you must line up the bowl and the shoot and lock before activating food processor. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy but the first time can be tricky.This unit is powerful and super fast. The shoot is larger than the processor I have now which is a plus. Under the motor you can wrap the power cord, which prevents a messy cord. My one negative issue so far is the unit with the bowls needs plenty of storage room.Highly recommend but you will need storage room.

Question: How do the sides of the wok look?

I am just amazed at this wok! I had just bought an electric wok this spring and while I like it (I think I reviewed it...) this Chefs Toolbox wok is much, much better quality.First, the wok is heavy-duty and has a top-of-the-line feel and look to it. If you wanted to give someone a wok as a Christmas or wedding gift, a moving out present..this would impress! It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. (Be sure to wash it with hot, hot soapy water before that first use, as with any cookware.) The cooking area goes from the flatter/bottom area of 7 inches to the top of the wok coming in at 14.5. The sides are pretty sloped. The handles have a nice, slightly brushed look to them and they are super solid. There is no fear of losing a handle or having trouble gripping these. I also love the flatness of the main part of the handle, it just feels nice, looks good, gives a professional quality.The steamer..dang..it is HUGE! If you like to steam ANYTHING at all, this is the way to go! As soon as I opened it I thought, wow!! I can toss all my old (broken, bent etc) cheap steamer baskets and use this to steam crab legs!! Yay! I just can't think of anything you could not steam with this. The base/cooking area is 14 inches, can you believe it!? The only thing is you could not use it for anything too small or fragile (like broccoli) because the holes themselves are big enough to easily put a pencil through. You could use foil to place food on though, if you wanted to.The lid is clear, a major improvement over most woks. I've actually never seen one with a clear lid before, so this will allow you to see your food without letting out heat. A nice feature.The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy. My electric wok is super light, but in the end, it feels like a cheap kitchen item compared to this. The Chefs Toolbox's weight makes it feel like what you paid for it. Again, this would make a great gift and a super addition to any kitchen.Sheri Gill

Answer: sloped

The sides are pretty sloped .

I am just amazed at this wok! I had just bought an electric wok this spring and while I like it (I think I reviewed it...) this Chefs Toolbox wok is much, much better quality. First, the wok is heavy-duty and has a top-of-the-line feel and look to it. If you wanted to give someone a wok as a Christmas or wedding gift, a moving out present..this would impress! It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. (Be sure to wash it with hot, hot soapy water before that first use, as with any cookware.) The cooking area goes from the flatter/bottom area of 7 inches to the top of the wok coming in at 14.5. <hl> The sides are pretty sloped . <hl> The handles have a nice, slightly brushed look to them and they are super solid. There is no fear of losing a handle or having trouble gripping these. I also love the flatness of the main part of the handle, it just feels nice, looks good, gives a professional quality. The steamer..dang.. it is HUGE! If you like to steam ANYTHING at all, this is the way to go! As soon as I opened it I thought, wow!! I can toss all my old (broken, bent etc) cheap steamer baskets and use this to steam crab legs!! Yay! I just can't think of anything you could not steam with this. The base/cooking area is 14 inches, can you believe it!? The only thing is you could not use it for anything too small or fragile (like broccoli) because the holes themselves are big enough to easily put a pencil through. You could use foil to place food on though, if you wanted to. The lid is clear, a major improvement over most woks. I've actually never seen one with a clear lid before, so this will allow you to see your food without letting out heat. A nice feature. The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy. My electric wok is super light, but in the end, it feels like a cheap kitchen item compared to this. The Chefs Toolbox's weight makes it feel like what you paid for it. Again, this would make a great gift and a super addition to any kitchen. Sheri Gill

Question: What should you not do with the new three-piece set?

I needed a larger (4 cup) measuring cup in addition to my old 1 and 2-cup Pyrex cups, but this three-piece set was less expensive than 1 4-cup glass or Pyrex model. I really like the top view graduations on the inside of these cups, because I no longer have to kneel down to get an eye-level view of the measure. I tested the cups using water weighed on an accurate kitchen scale, and the measures were very close. The only question will be how well the plastic cup body stands up over time - I note that the directions warn against heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave.

Answer: heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave.

Question: What is the  item in question?

Answer: wine. Libbey glasses

<hl> These glasses are just right if you want one glass for either white or red wine. Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. <hl>

Question: According to the reviewer , what do you need to have if you want a perfect cooked meal?

I love Circulon pots and pans and this new addition to my kitchen is a sure keeper. So far I have cooked my asparagus and love it for that but since it has the basket I decided to try corn on the cob which worked nicely and also boiled eggs. So easy to just pull the basket out and wa la it's done.The pot is a nice size and perfect for what you need. The handles are great and do not get ouch hot. The only problem I found with it is that empty it's a bit top heavy. Non stick interior is great and the basket to just pull out the veggie is the bees knees.I have a couple of sets of Circulon pots and pans and I love them more than anything else I've had and I have had a very expensive set of high end pots and pans. I would recommend these to everyone and anyone, new cook or experienced. If you are going to want a perfect cooked meal you need to have the proper tools. Easy sneezy to clean makes cooking a wonderful experience.

Question: which part doesn't work that well?

I bought this because I didn't want to get on my hands and knees and scrub floors..........no, the vacuum part does not work particularly well, but the cleaning and drying are nothing short of spectacular. I use the right detergent, I don't stint, and my results are impressive. I do six rooms and a hallway, all wood and tile, in about an hour. It fills the tank three times to get the job done. No back problems, no knee problems, and the little scrubbers do all the work. This jewel is about as heavy as a normal upright vacuum cleaner.....it takes maybe three minutes to thoroughly clean the tanks and filter when I'm done. Now my floors have that incredible squeaky clean feel for my bare feet.........I do my home once a month, with some manual touchups in the kitchen.

Question: What kind of mug is the person using?

This travel mug is worth every penny. I used to have one of those dime a dozen, crappy travel mugs and couldn't wait to throw it out. And, just like many of the travel mugs out there, It leaked and looked cheap and flimsy. This travel mug is just the opposite. It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours. I mainly use it in the morning to transport my coffee to work and it is the perfect mug for that. I am very glad that I finally decided to buy this mug.

Question: How many ounces does the larger thermos hold?

Our family of four has a variety of Thermos brand products. I like the quality of their products, they're made to last. We're still using the same Thermos bottle we bought for my daughter when she started Kindergarten five years ago. I like buying and using products from companies who make things that aren't disposable like so much of what is available these days.I love the color of this thermos and have the same color in the short stout 16 oz. version that we use for soups and stews and warm meals. This 24 oz. thermos is also really nice, though it is big. It's about ten and a half inches around, and thankfully fits in my car's cup holder.I really like that the lid is spring loaded so when you open it, it stays open and doesn't flop down while you are drinking and bash you on the nose. And the spring loaded lid has a button to flip open the top, which I think is nicer that some of the other lids we have on our drink bottles. Another other thing I like is that when you are drinking from it there are no guzzling noises. My husband has a lovely big thermos from LL Bean (another company that makes quality products) but when he drinks out of it it makes this hideous noise (like fingernails on a chalkboard).I continue to be pleased with the products we have that are made by Thermos.

Question: The teaspoons are too small for eating what?

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

Question: What was the first thing the reviewer noticed ?

What a piece of POOP! This is the first time I've posted a negative review on Amazon and for good reason. I got this as a hand me down to make fruit smoothies. The first thing I noticed it the automatic blender action. Who designed that? That was the dumbest thing. Right when you push the cup down into the blender, it starts to engage the gears. The problem is that the teeth don't always match up. So, you have this grinding effect until the teeth of the gears engage. What an moronic design decision. I knew this was going to eventually happen, but after just three days of using this thing the teeth from the gears completely stripped. There was smoking and all sorts of black plastic flying around. I mean, this idea COULD work, but use metal for god's sake.And what's up with the small cup sizes? They should have one a big larger for regular sized smoothies.All in all, the biggest piece of junk I've ever been given. DON'T BUY IT!

Question: How should you store the dishes?

This set is much prettier in person than in the pictures.The first thing you see when you open the box is the Use and Care Instructions which are positively ridiculous. Things like "Never nest the mugs", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". Yeah like the average person is going to do that. Get real! So it was with some trepidation that I opened the individual boxes to see just what I had gotten myself into.In actuality, the dinnerware is attractive and seems fairly heavy. I have some rather expensive sets that have chipped and cracked a lot more than I think this will. I am a ceramic artist and have a pretty good sense of the quality of a piece by the heft and manner of the glazing, and this seems like it will be fine. Of course anything is going to chip if it gets banged excessively into and out of cabinets and dishwashers.All in all I am pleased with this and expect to get good use out of this, or at least until I get tired of the pattern. :0)

Question: What made the manufacturer cut corners on product?

PROS:I pack my lunch everyday to office. I hate to walk to microwave to heat it up , so end up eating semi-cold lunch. Voila!, Crock-Pot solved the problem. Now I get a pleasant, flavorful and hot lunch. Wonder why no one knew about such a simple idea,but powerful concept.Hats off to Crock-pot if they are the first one. The size is good enough as well but this is not for cooking up frozen lunches. Just heating up prepared lunch.CONS> A traditional lunch box is not deep and wider. But this one is deep ..at the bottom is less convenient (esp noodles, Pasta)> There is no On/off switch which is a nuisance. In an office cubicle, usually plug points are set below your desks. The manufacturer claims it is fine to leave the unit plugged but why leave it on when you do not need to !> The food container that holds the lunch , when open and ready for eating is little above the warming base. The Food container is hot and u have to consciously hold the warming base and not the food container...You will get burnt.All of the Con's can be fixed easily . Probably Cost considerations led the manufacturer to cut corners!

Question: How long before reviewer threw the pillow away?

Find my original review below. This has taught me a lesson, wait weeks or months before posting a reviewfor home life products. This pillow broke down and turned into a misshapen lump within 2 weeks. It got worse and worse and finally after 4-5 weeks I threw it away. When I removed the THREE fitted covers I had on to keep it protected, and the pillowcase, I found that it had turned yellow and crumbly. My previous one was 3 years old and didn't look this way.AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID~~!!!!This was a great choice!From day one my sleep improved. Neck, back and shoulders are in a great position for sleep.I have a shoulder injury that bothers me at night..with this I do not need an addition small pillow torest my shoulder on.Great design, very comfortable. I never want to be without one!
