there very expensive

question: What is the main problem for the author with using pods to make coffee?, context: I folowed the instructions and found that the coffee was very weak so I experimented with differint grinds and filter no filter.

.So far, the Food Saver Bags have worked out very well for me.

question: How has using the Food Saver been so far for the author?, context: I'm new to using a Food Saver, and I waited until I had used quite a few of the bags, before giving this review.So far, the Food Saver Bags have worked out very well for me. I have tried different kinds of items sothat I would know if they work on wet and also dry items, and for me, they have really done a wonderful job.These bags are really easy to use, and have been perfect, mainly because the is no loss, or any waste using them.You get to make the size you need, not what's available in the stores that zip. The seals are really strong, and theprice is very reasonable too. All in all, I'm really pleased that I finally purchased the Food Saver system, and will bepurchasing these bags quite a bit in the future.

vanilla ice cream

question: What was the first recipe attempted by the reviewer?, context: My wife gave me one of these for Christmas two years ago. I eagerly tried to make a batch of vanilla ice cream. After an hour of noisy churning, the base was still liquid and the bowl was only slightly chilled. An hour more of churning did not improve things. The thing went down in the basement. I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet. Same result. The base was as liquid after an hour of churning as it was at the start. I give up. I wish I had back the hours I wasted on this piece of expensive junk.

specialty stores

question: Other than Amazon where can the product be purchased from?, context: Like my title states, it is coveted by everyone who tries it. I first used one at my sister in law's house and really liked it. The next time I was there, she told me that some weekend guests had recently used it there and loved it. It "mysteriously" disappeared at the same time they went back home and she was needing to replace it (they haven't been invited back needless to say). I told her that I was ordering one for me from Amazon and she got one here too, as they are extremely hard to find except in some specialty stores. Well worth the money. It slices down through the hardest frozen ice cream with no difficulty. Highly recommended.

very easy

question: How was the install?, context: Looked at a lot of wall-mount pot racks, found several that I liked. My husband wanted one with some wood, so settled on this one. It was very easy to install as the placement of the wall brackets along the length of the track are adjustable, so you can make sure you're getting the brackets into wall studs. The slatted rack/shelf on top is nice, wish it were a little bit wider - the larger lids have to stand upright/lean against the wall and can't be laid on the shelf. Also, the shelf is not attached to the rest of the rack. I don't think it's going to go anywhere. May put some cookbooks up there as well. Overall very pleased with this pot rack, fills the space that I was having trouble finding artwork for, plus gives us more storage for our nicer pans.

American

question: What country does the brother or sister of the author live in?, context: After reading all the glowing reviews for this timer I was very disappointed that when mine arrived it didn't work properly. The timer did count up and down but neither the sound nor the vibrate functions worked. In fact, the light didn't work either. I tried new batteries with no success. I guess I just got a lemon. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem with Amazon. I need only return it for a replacement or refund. However, I live in Australia and had the timer sent to me by an American sibling. The cost of sending it back to the States for a refund would be greater than the value of the timer.

affordable

question: How expensive are these knives?, context: I bought three Victorinox knives based on a recommendation from "Cooks Illustrated" magazine. I am so pleased! I got the 3" and 4" utility knives plus the chefs knife. All three are the best of their kind I have ever used, and I have always considered myself a bit of a knife snob. The polypropylene handles are very comfortable and non-slip, and the blades are just right. They are really sharp and they stay sharp. The chefs knife is perfectly balanced and such a pleasure to use. And the best part of all, they are so affordable. You deserve these knives!

in the past

question: When did the author first buy a bacon cooker?, context: I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price. It's much more convenient than the ones on which you have to put each slice vertically in a slat. The fat does drip off adequately; and it is dishwasher friendly, if you wipe it with a paper towel first. As with all microwave bacon cookers, the fat does pop and splatter through the microwave, but you have to leave it uncovered for maximum crispness. It cooks and cleans well. After a while, it seems to lose its finish, turn brown, as if burned, and then does not clean as well or cook as evenly. I had the last one for 5 years and make bacon a couple of times a month, even if only a slice to crumble on a salad. It didn't get heavy use, but certainly I feel that I got my money's worth. The bacon cooks, crisps, browns and stays flat nicely. You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. I'd recommend it, and obviously would buy it again.

question: Where is tea chilled?, context: I don&#8217;t think I am using this exactly for what it was intended for, but it works great, sooo &#8230; basically, while I&#8217;m not a big &#8220;fruit and water&#8221; guy I do love cold tea, especially during the summertime. Cold green tea. Cold barley tea. Cold oolong tea. Yum! Making them isn&#8217;t much of a challenge. You just pour hot water over the tea bags, then let it chill down in the fridge.I never thought of getting a dedicated pitcher for my cold tea, but then this pitcher came along. It works great! I just put the tea bags in the central pillar, then fill it up with water as usual. I thought this pitcher was going to be too big for my fridge, but it slides right onto the door shelf at the bottom, while still holding considerable volume.No idea how well it works for making fruit-infused water, but it works great for cold tea! And I am tempted to try the sangria idea. That sounds great!

loud

question: what is the noise level of this machine?, context: Is quick and efficient. We keep it in our kitchen. Yes, it's loud, but it neither bother me NOR my boyfriend at all. As you've probably read, you can set what you want the humidity to be at and it will run until it reaches that point. No, the machine doesn't turn off when it gets to your ideal level, but it WILL kick back in if the humidity rises again. For the price and what it offers, I think it's a great deal. I don't have tons of money to spend, but this has proven to be a great investment. The tub has a nice handle to help with the watering emptying process. As mentioned, we keep it in the kitchen, so the sink is right there. So, that's how we use it. Great purchase.

I decided to buy this one on the strength of the good reviews. I'm glad I did! It's a very simple machine with no temp/browning control but it makes waffles that are crispy outside and soft inside. That's all I've ever wanted. I only have to flip once which is cool. What I do now is I make a big batch of waffles, cool them on a wire rack and then freeze them in a ziplock bag. I heat them up in the oven for 5-10 minutes whenever we feel like having waffles at any time of the day.It also helps reading the manual first before using it. It said to never use PAM because it destroys the nonstick coating. I brush the plates with some canola oil and pour 3/4 cup of batter. Pouring in more than that would cause spillage. Hope this helps. And FYI, this item goes on sale at Macy's from time to time for around $17.

question: What is the reviewer going to do with the product now?, context: This is my second T-Fal purchase, spend 6 mo with their cheaper model, and thisProfessional model is a pleasure to use. So many features and I'm able to use metalturners with this one.Only time will confirm how the anti-warp feature will work but meanwhile I'm a happy camper.I like the feel of the handle grip and the see through lid. I'll let my cast iron skillet rest for a while.When and if it warps, I'll update this promptly.Don't waste your time and monies on the cheaper models, I'm sorry I did.Good Luck9/21/13 after extensive use it has not warped and it's been through some heavy usage.11/25/13 and it will warp, lots of usage and it is warped, very disappointing.*** 11/29/13 *** after a call to Amazon got the number for T-fal USA then got into and endless telephone loop where you just listen to the computer repeat the same message 5 times, hangup- and rewrite my review, they are not specific about the warrant, so forget that and so I'm back to a clad stainless steel that I know won't warp. It was great until it warped and that was reason for buying this in the first place. So my stars go from 5 to 2 or 3, because you can still fry in it on a gas stove, and the lid works, it did not change when the bottom warped.MY advice move on don't waste your money on one that has no warranty department that you can talk to.I'll just donate this to Goodwill tor a tax deduct.

week before Christmas

question: When did the reviewer get the product?, context: I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . It is clever design and the cleaning process is simple and quick .. no filters no mess , I cheat on my Tassimo with this one and for me the coffee I choice taste better , it is so much cheaper so I am keeping it , love the design and overall presentation and the price is nice also , I tried to make also tea and worked well and for sure I am not going back to regular coffee maker again that's for sure .. I would give 5 stars if I could use my fine grinded coffee with but you can't .

a little pricey

question: What phrase describes the cost of the toaster oven?, context: This Toaster Oven does everything it says it does except you can prepare toast better in the toaster. The touch pad controls take a bit of time to become easy to operate because I always had dials to turn. It sticks out farther than the one that I replaced and I was surprised that the actual oven space is a lot smaller than I anticipated. It is deep but not very tall. I can't see baking a 2 - 3 pound chicken in it but I'm not going to do that anyway! It is a little pricey too but it is a good toaster oven and I will use it at least twice a day because I never use the oven on my stove. I rely on the microwave and this toaster oven.

many different cleaning products with plenty of elbow grease

Christmas

question: What occasion were the glasses purchased for?, context: I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. I bought the shot glasses and iced teas' as well (they may not call them ice teas' but they are long and tall). Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different but that's why we all like 'em. They feel good in your hand I a imagine they won't get dropped as often as others because of the indentations. Nice weight but I would have given them five stars if they were just a bit heavier and a mil thicker but I have no complaints because these are reasonably priced for what you get. Shot glasses are perfect. I would give 4.5 stars but you can't. I have been looking for other gifts for the kids because I want to keep the glasses. I know it's terrible but if anyone has any ideas...

I've not had any problems

question: Have they had problems with the bottle?, context: 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!

prevent leakage

question: What should the seal do?, context: I bought this crock pot for my wife when I saw the TV commercial with the locking lid. That part is very cool. However, I didn't look much closer. This crock pot doesn't have any whistles or bells. There's just a knob with three temperature settings. I suppose that's all that matters though.I like the size and quality of this cooker. The crockery insert is well made and seems very durable.The locking lid is really a nice touch. It's really convenient for taking hot dishes to work or other events. You need to be careful to seat the lid just right before you latch it. Give it a slight twist back and forth to make sure it's straight. Then after you secure both latches, try to twist the lid again. If it moves much, unfasten the latches and make sure the seal is clean and then latch it again.

What should the seal do?

The lid has a nice seal that should prevent leakage when it's latched.

I bought this crock pot for my wife when I saw the TV commercial with the locking lid. That part is very cool. However, I didn't look much closer. This crock pot doesn't have any whistles or bells. There's just a knob with three temperature settings. I suppose that's all that matters though.I like the size and quality of this cooker. The crockery insert is well made and seems very durable.The locking lid is really a nice touch. It's really convenient for taking hot dishes to work or other events. You need to be careful to seat the lid just right before you latch it. Give it a slight twist back and forth to make sure it's straight. Then after you secure both latches, try to twist the lid again. If it moves much, unfasten the latches and make sure the seal is clean and then latch it again.

rinse the rice well

question: What do other reviewers advise to do with the rice before cooking?, context: I have only had this rice cooker for a short time, but have been very satisfied with it's performance. I haven't used the vegetable steamer yet, only the rice cooker, so my review is only for the rice cooker portion. This cooks rice (white & brown) very nicely. I followed other reviewers advice and rinse the rice well before cooking. I also add a little olive oil to the water. This seems to keep the rice from browning too much on the bottom. I will try and follow up after I've had this for a while.

upon the can lid

question: Where should the motor be seated?, context: BEWARE !! If you do not install the electric crank/motor properly, the paddle shaft will strip out the metal insert of the motor housing causing metal shavings/filings to contaminate the product. The first time we used the maker, we were able to place the electric crank/motor on top of the can with the lid engaged...or so we thought. We were able to "lock" down the motor and the maker was able to turn the can / paddle. Everything seemed hunky dory until we opened the can to check on the progress to find the top covered with metal shavings. After further inspection, we noticed that the shaft of the paddle was striping out the metal gear of the motor. It is very disappointing to have to throw away 5 qts of homemade ice cream...not to mention the cost of ingredients. We have since been able to produce ice cream while making sure the motor is properly seated upon the can lid. However, we will be looking for a better machine.

the indentations

question: What feature of the glasses might prevent accidental drops?, context: I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. I bought the shot glasses and iced teas' as well (they may not call them ice teas' but they are long and tall). Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different but that's why we all like 'em. They feel good in your hand I a imagine they won't get dropped as often as others because of the indentations. Nice weight but I would have given them five stars if they were just a bit heavier and a mil thicker but I have no complaints because these are reasonably priced for what you get. Shot glasses are perfect. I would give 4.5 stars but you can't. I have been looking for other gifts for the kids because I want to keep the glasses. I know it's terrible but if anyone has any ideas...

2 cup round glass containers

question: What kind of containers does the user put in the freezer?, context: Great product! I have to say this lunch warmer heats food quite evenly, much better than a microwave. My husband and I keep stash of healthy leftovers in 2 cup round glass containers in the freezer to grab and go. These work beautifully with the lunch warmer. The night before, I choose lunch for the next day, put it in the frig to partially thaw and my lunch is ready to slide into the crock pot warmer once I get to work the next morning. No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert. I must say I am looking forward to our next road trip as I plan taking 2 crock pots, a cooler and an inverter to help minimize the monetary and weight gain expense of travel. I've read complaints about the cord length (3 ft), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry. Liked this product so much, I bought 7 of them as gifts, all greatly appreciated....even got a lunch text photo from my son, the engineer and a big thank you from my Marine! Enjoy

an espresso cup

question: what kind of cup can fit in it?, context: First of all I like the small size of the unit since it takes up little room on my counter. But that comes at a price. There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. Nope, you have to manually turn it off when it reaches the right level.Final quirk is that the flow between the two nozzles is seldom even. One side always seems to get the bulk of the flow. Perhaps it is the way I load pods in it. But I only make a cup at a time so that is okay I guess. Which sums up my review. The unit is okay considering the price.

Spiegelau

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

exactly like it was suppose to

question: The fan runs how?, context: This item operates as it should. All mechanical operations did not fail. It is simply too small, and not powerful enough to cool anything with any degree of effectiveness. I followed all directions for use. Inserted fresh batteries. Turned it on. Then left it in my car for a few hours on a 60 degree temperature day. When I came back to the car, the fan was still on. But the interior was hot. The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to, but the air was not cool. All that it did was circulate hot air. If this fan can't cool the inside of a car, then how is it suppose to work in a room?

works for an hour

question: What does the package say?, context: This tortilla warmer really works. I find that it keeps the tortillas warm through our dinner. There are never any left to see if this will work an hour! It is perfect for warming them in the microwave and keeping them warm through the meal. I don't have a clue if it works for an hour, like the package stated. I'll never know because it does not take us that long to eat. Great Item!

1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart

question: What 3 sizes of slow cookers do these fit?, context: These are fantastic! I slow cook, ALL the time. I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey, in slow cookers! I typically use the name brand ones found at my local grocery store, if I get them on sale I can get 2 boxes for 5 bucks, so, 8 bags total for 5 dollars. With these I got 25 for 10 dollars. You do the math. They worked just as great, if not better. No bubbling like the ones from my grocery store, they held up, no mess at the end of the day, I threw everything away, and I used 7 slow cookers, if that tells you anything. They fit my 1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart slow cooker.

What 3 sizes of slow cookers do these fit?

They fit my 1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart slow cooker.

These are fantastic! I slow cook, ALL the time. I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey, in slow cookers! I typically use the name brand ones found at my local grocery store, if I get them on sale I can get 2 boxes for 5 bucks, so, 8 bags total for 5 dollars. With these I got 25 for 10 dollars.

the juicer attachment

question: What attachment do they use frequently?, context: Bought this last fall. I really have enjoyed its versatility - but find that so far, I've used it mainly to make the expensive shredded cheese - which I then freeze. I've mixed smoothies, cookie dough and much more. We've chopped potatoes into chips, veggies, etc. I have absolutely no complaints. Love it.Update 4/2011: It has been used almost daily since we bought it. We frequently use the juicer attachment. We love this thing so much we are attempting to prepare for the inevitable day when we may need new parts and have begun to look for another juicer attachment (hard to find alone) and the main bowl. There is nothing wrong with them or the machine, but we just want to be prepared so that if/when that day comes, we don't discover it is no longer being manufactured. Love it even more than I did a year and 1/2 ago! :-)

It's a space saver

question: Does it take up a lot of space, context: Again, when I decided to look for a toaster, it must be practical and the price would be reasonable,too. I found this product which my husband liked, too because of the oven feature! The only thing is that they should try to consider putting a timer for the oven, like any other oven toasters out there for convenience...because you really need to watch over it while in use. Otherwise, for the first reason I bought it does a good job! It's a space saver plus I got a good deal on it since I used the "super saver" for shipping and an addtional discount if you spend more...$125 more so I decided to get other new appliances for my kitchen, I needed it anyway...

whipping attachment

question: What part of the machine is delicate?, context: This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. It works quickly and easily. I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the &#34;whipping attachment,&#34; but I don't see it as a problem. I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. One does need to make certain that the milk &#34;film&#34; that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed.

dirty water container

question: What is more easily removed for emptying on this version?, context: I've had two earlier versions of the Floormate. They seemed to pick up the wet water better. This model doesn't do quite the job they did on pickup. This is wider and I do like the attachments (and the nifty storage rack) to get under things. I have sheet vinyl throughout the house due to a wheelchair bound family member so use it daily. Being wider has it's pro and con - faster on the big areas, but harder to get into spaces that the older version could manage. Go SLOW if you want a decent job done. Clean up with the new version is much improved and easier! Like the easy way the dirty water container comes out and apart to empty. Advantage is that you aren't just slopping dirty mop water around so floors feel and look really nice. I will ALWAYS have one in my house! Makes life easier!

powerful enough to handle anything you are looking to blend

question: How long have they had the blender?, context: We have had this blender for over five years now and it is an absolute workhorse and hands down the best blender for crushing ice. The construction of the blender is quite solid and the motor is powerful enough to handle anything you are looking to blend. The best feature by far: ice crushing. Recommended by Cooks Illustrated for this feature, this blender is incredible at crushing ice to the right consistency for a crushed-ice margarita, which, let's face it, is one of the best reasons to have a blender. Not to mention the fact that it is gorgeous in orange. A best buy for my kitchen for sure.

round

question: What were the old spoons like?, context: Trying to get through baking with a single set of measuring spoons had become a pain in the neck. If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using. I decided I needed a second set of measuring spoons -- right up until these spoons arrived. Now I don't use my original set because these offer a "dry" and a "wet" spoon for each measurement. Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish.The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil.

an old strainer

question: What did the new strainer replace?, context: 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.

Amazon and Thermos

question: What companies advertised the mug as safe from spilling?, context: I had high hopes for this travel mug. It's well-insulated, stainless steel, and the lid appeared to seal very well. In fact, both Amazon and Thermos advertise the cup as being "spill-proof." It's also my favorite kind of lid, the kind that flips open. I like those because they're the easiest to clean well.Unfortunately, for some reason, Thermos decided not to make the flip part of the lid seal. It's just two pieces of plastic that fit loosely together - no rubber seal at all. So while the lid twists on and seals tightly, the part that you actually drink out of leaks like crazy. I suppose this cup is perfect for anyone who can guarantee that it will never tip over. But for those of you who do things like put it in your briefcase, toss it on the car seat next to you, or even just tilt it a bit while walking around, it's an awful travel mug.

an outlet mall

question: Where did the author buy the blender?, context: Got this at an outlet mall at deep discount, so not expecting miracles. We use it 1-2 times per weeks to crush ice for smoothies and other drinks. Have had for appx 2 years. Have not noticed any de-coupling of the blades to the connector. No rubber seals failing. Everything works very well.Our only problem was that we lost the little clear cap that goes over the large lid (the one you can take off while it is blending to add ingredients). Probably because the thing is clear.I went to the kitchenaid website to ask about ordering a replacement, and they simply asked for my address and sent a new one. No questions asked. No proof of purchase. No shipping costs. I was very surprised. Maybe their customer service has turned around? I have not received the part yet (this was just 1 day ago) so I will update this thread if and when it arrives.

ordered it without reading reviews

question: Why was the reviewer initially worried about their purchase?, context: I was worried about this set as I had ordered it without reading reviews (something I rarely, rarely do but I was leaving town and on my way out the door) However it's not nearly as &#34;shiny&#34; as other reviews would have you believe and certainly looks just great. Certainly ambiguous enough to be in a guys or gals bedroom without being particularly overly manly or feminine. The underside is a more cottony feel and very warm which I appreciate and the throw pillows look great. Overall I'm really happy with it.

a very good item to donate

question: What does the reviewer think is a good use for the item?, context: This item is more of a space taker than a necessary investment. It works fine, but it is faster and easier to just add ingredients directly to the bowl. Plus, it is one less unnecessary item to wash. After using it a few times it is stored somewhere, but have not bothered to look for it as it will not be used again. Once found it will make a very good item to donate, and I would rate this as a 'want' as opposed to a 'need'.KitchenAid Toll Free Customer Service:1-800-541-6390 - USA1-800-807-6777 - Canada01-800-024-1717- MexicoSnail Mail: Customer Satisfaction CenterKitchenAid Portable AppliancesP.O.

question: How many free bags are included?, context: These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk. They're fingerprint proof and include 3 FREE BAGS for you to use. There's a plastic insert in the trash can to allow for easily hiding the trash bags and for holding the bags in place. If you'd prefer not to buy the Simple Human trash bags, you can use grocery store bags or if you're REALLY feeling adventurous, you could skip the bag and just wash the plastic insert after you throw out it's contents in a different room. (Ex. The kitchen as that one really should have a bag and be much larger)

This little kettle is tiny, so it heats up to a boil at a rapid pace.

question: How much water does the tea kettle hold?, context: I needed a one-person, smaller tea kettle but did not want a cheap metal kettle that would look dented or tacky within a month. Nor did I want to drink water boiled in aluminum. I also didn't want to spend $80 or more for a better quality kettle. Though I love both glass and ceramic, it's too easy to break with regular daily use.This little kettle is tiny, so it heats up to a boil at a rapid pace. You'll have a cup of hot tea in minutes. Perfect.No it's not thick, but it is stainless and it's easy to clean. Pop it into dishwasher and it looks new again.Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size. It's NOT loud. That is my major caution.If you tend to wander away to the other side of the house and forget the kettle is on the stove, you likely won't hear this little fellow whistling and should buy a bigger, louder teakettle.If your needs are similar to mine, you'll think it's perfect. Will it last for ten years? Probably but the plastic parts might not. And the price is beyond reasonable.

to cool the tent

question: What is one way the fan can be used while camping?, context: Some people see this fan as a way to cool the tent while camping, but my family wanted a backup in case our electricity should fail. It's not a replacement for air conditioning, but has plenty of airflow at arm's length, even on the lower setting. High setting should ventilate diners around the kitchen table.When you pack, it folds into a 4" thickness. The battery enclosure is secure. It trades steel housings for light weight, and I think the trade was worthwhile. 8 D cells does make it heavier, but gives it long runtime.

question: Which product purchased by the reviewer works better?, context: GOOD FEATURES:1. Looks niceBAD FEATURES:1. Not sturdy2. Poorer quality than the Tablemate I bought a few years back.The one I bought a few years back was called the same thing, but the metal legs were much stronger and of a heavier metal. I use that one all the time to eat, rest my elbows on when watching TV, or to sort things. It can support a lot of weight. The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. Very inferior.

wrinkled

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

store water

question: What does this pot not do that Keurig does?, context: I bought the Dolce Gusto Piccolo after using my sister's when staying at her house. I already had a Keurig so it is difficult not to compare the two. I do infact like them both.Here are my key points:1) Purchased the Piccolo model due to price. I wanted to stay as far under $100 as possible to get a Dolce Gusto.2) Now that I've used it, I probably would rather have the Genio model because it is a less-manual process.3) You have to fill the water container each time you use it. It doesn't store water the way my Keurig does.4) Really like the frothy, coffee-house textured drinks. My Keurig does not do this.5) The Dolce Gusto website offers a reward program too. Each box of capsules contains a code in the box. Enter the codes online and store your points until you have enough for free product. That's great!

vent tab

question: What was the author worried wouldn't be away from the hole?, context: I've had no problems using the bowl in the microwave (so far) except that it is hard to handle. Sides are straight up so it's hard to get a grasp on it. I have to use "super-grippy" potholders to pick this up. Looking through the reviews here, apparently I'm the only one who's had this concern - weirdly. Previously I'd remarked that vent tab doesn't stand away from the hole, but it does; you can even rotate it away.

sleek simple design

question: What kind of design does the scale have?, context: I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

a LOT of coffee

question: what does this grinder put out?, context: I purchased this grinder last June. It is an okay grinder, but it doesn't measure up to my old one - literally. This grinder puts out a LOT of coffee. For instance, I normally add about 4 cups of water to the coffee maker for my morning coffee. With my old grinder, I would turn the dial to 4. It coordinated perfectly with the amount of added water. This grinder, however, puts out a lot more coffee. I only turn it to 2 1/2. It's not a huge gripe I suppose, but I wasted a lot of coffee and drank a lot of bitter brews before finally perfecting it.On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble.Bottom line: It's okay, but you can either get a comparable grinder cheaper or a nicer grinder for the same money in my opinion. My parents own a $60 Cuisinart from Kitchen Collection that works just as well if not better.

For instance, I normally add about 4 cups of water to the coffee maker for my morning coffee. With my old grinder, I would turn the dial to 4. It coordinated perfectly with the amount of added water. This grinder, however, puts out a lot more coffee. I only turn it to 2 1/2. It's not a huge gripe I suppose, but I wasted a lot of coffee and drank a lot of bitter brews before finally perfecting it.On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble.Bottom line: It's okay, but you can either get a comparable grinder cheaper or a nicer grinder for the same money in my opinion. My parents own a $60 Cuisinart from Kitchen Collection that works just as well if not better.

dinner party

question: What are they worthy of?, context: Just got these today. I like them just on sight alone. They have a nice weight and I anticipate long wear as this is my 'entertaining' set of flatware. The product image gives the impression that the handles on the spoons and forks have a more voluminous shape. But they are flatter than the handle on the knives, which are more substantial rounded and hollow, though still of considerable weight. I'm guessing knifre handles must be weighted and filled out to balance the weight of the blade.Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) restaurant quality appearance. The design is beatiful and not overtop making them a a plus to use with the good dishware. The overall appearance eliminates the need for super design-centric dishware and will very nicely accent good quality plain white dishes.

easily

question: what degree of difficulty is cleaning these?, context: They fit my half sheet pans, clean easily, work as good as parchment for my uses and baked goods come right off.I did purchase a silicon coated flipper/turner as I did not want to use metal implements on this. The instructions did not warn against this, I was just being cautious.I have used nonstick silicone baking sheets before but these are much more substantial (thick).

6" 'Cook's' knife

question: What size knife did the package say this person was getting?, context: I purchased this set for my son who was ready to upgrade to 1st class knives. Although the packaging said I was getting a 6" 'Cook's' knife, what I actually received was an 8" 'Chef's' knife (and that was fine with me).I had hoped the block would also accommodate the Calphalon (See my review of this bargain.) 6" meat fork I purchased to go along with the knife set. Unfortunately, the slots are a little too thin to accept the tines. (This was also true of the Henckels knife block, part of my personal set.)The reason I rated the set 4-Stars was that the handles, poly(whatever), did not fit my hand as comfortably as my Henckels 4-Star set. Additionally, they felt quite slick. The knives feel heavy and are well balanced (as well, they should be).

Ethan Allen

question: Where is the couch from?, context: I got this a s a Good box deal, what a deal! It is very high quality and I agree with the other positive reviews quite yummy.I have a great couch from Ethan Allen but I'm just sick of the color. I found that just putting a throw over the seat and hanging down the front changes the whole look of the room, rearrange some pillows I already have and for $9.99 it's a new couch. The Dog is always sleeping there so I don't want expensive throws there. This is perfect.These are NOT the ones you get for $10 at a "mart" store. These are high end.I depend on people who give good reviews to make my choices and the first person here is so correct, they are great. I think I'll get another for a gift they are that nice.

between 3-1/2 and 4"

question: What is the height of all of the author's coffee mugs?, context: That's the height of mugs that this Hot Shot can accommodate. All of my coffee mugs are between 3-1/2 and 4" so it works fine. I fill a mug with cold water, pour it into the Hot Shot, and I've got boiling water in 90 seconds. (Full disclosure: Then, you have to drain the water into your cup, so that by the time you're done about two minutes has past. So, it isn't really faster than a microwave, but it's no slower.) After I fill my cup with the now boiling water, I open the top and the residual heat from the coil makes the thin film of water that's left evaporate almost immediately.Once the water boils, the Hot Shot cuts off automatically, so there's no problem leaving it plugged in.Highly recommended!

like an Olympic track star

question: how fast does she have to run to catch the mail truck?, context: I adore my husband. But he is always hunting for his keys before work. He also has trouble remembering to take outgoing mail to the mailbox, even if I place it on the table beside the front door OR stick it in between the door and doorframe so that it falls out and lands at his feet as he leaves the house. He just steps right over it and I've got to run it out like an Olympic track star when I hear the mail truck come around the corner.I installed this above the light switch next to the front door, and he can hang his keys and grab the outgoing mail in one swipe. He also has no excuse for not taking the dog out with his leash because it's in there, too.For any wife of a forgetful hubby, this is a real godsend.

question: What type of buy is this for someone on a budget?, context: Works great not too sure about the &#34;ion&#34; part def not its strong point. I have had two of these from Amazon the first one the base didnt work at all, this one the base is like 90% working... there is a screw you are supposed to attach to the swivel part of the base but if you do it properly it wont swivel, so I left it off and it swivels &#34;good enough&#34;. All and all its a good buy for a budget but if there was a better one out there Id go for it.

starburst pattern

question: What pattern is on the bottom of the dishes?, context: I ordered these to complement16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set, I intended to use these a tea mugs. I liked the uniqueness of them but, when they arrived I realized that the handle is not well-balanced. The handle will accommodate a large hand but, the curve makes it awkward. The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. The dishes held up in the dishwasher, no chips or porcelain impurities noticed. The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle, it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it.

size

question: What decreased very little when the purchaser tried to get the air out?, context: I bought this in the hope that it would hold a queen size comforter, 2 standard shams, 2 euro shams and 2 decorative pillows - that's all I wanted it to hold. Well, it packed fine but when I tried to extract the air, the size decreased very little (yes I have used other space bags so I know how to "suck the air" out of them!). I thought that I could use my weight to tamp down the rest of the way and zip it like you would a suitcase - one side zipped but the other zipper came off in my hand - it is going in the trash. Do not waste your money or time unless you are going to use it to pack what would basically fit in an under-the-bed non-space bag container!

450 degrees

question: What temperature did I use to bake?, context: I've been served individual mini-loaves of warm bread in restaurants and wanted to do the same at home. This loaf pan works precisely as advertised and produced twelve perfect sourdough rolls shaped like a tiny loaf of bread.

Rachel's name

question: Whose name appears on the blade of the butter knife?, context: I found this to be a very nice, fairly light set of flatware that's standard in design, enabling you mix them in with just about any existing silverware of dinnerware patterns you have.In the box you'll find four of the following: butter knives (aka dinner knife), dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons, and tea spoons, for a total of twenty pieces. Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle, terminating at the head of the utensil. Rachel's name appears on the blade of the butter knife and the backs of the other utensils. That may be an issue for some people, but I don't mind it.While each piece of flatware is made of stainless steel and claims dishwasher safe, after about the third or fourth washing, I found a noticable bend in three out of the four larger fork prongs. The middle prongs were bent slightly forward. These were run through the normal wash cycle each time; they weren't crowded in the silverware basket; nor did the other forks from mixed sets bend. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this.

does not leak

question: Is the seal tight?, context: If you are going to only use this in a cup holder, it is great! It insulates well and keeps my water cold and refreshing.The big design flaw is the top-heavy design. I have knocked this thing over many many times and sometimes 3 or 4 times in one sitting. Last night, the wind blew it off of the bleachers while watching a ball game.Also, the lid is a bit warpy and will not seal perfectly.If you decide to wash in the dishwasher, it will get water inside of the double wall and leak all over the place for about 15 minutes.I wish I could give more stars because I love the capacity and insulating, but the top heaviness makes it almost unbearable.UPDATE:I got another one of these, because I lost the first one. The lid does not leak on the second. It is still a top heavy mug, but you learn to adjust.If you don't need the cup holder, then get the keg shaped version in the same 34 oz size. I use one for around the house to keep my water refreshing without sweating on the furniture.

18 months

question: how long did the second one last?, context: We received an EC701 model for our wedding, which died after almost 5 years of daily use. We replaced it with this newer model at half the price. Overall, we love this little machine. I make primarily lattes, so I can't speak for the espresso afficionados, but one of the reasons I love this thing is that it will actually foam milk well, which is hard to find in a machine at this price point. It also looks really good on our counter, which is not unimportant. The water reservoir is very easy to access, which is really convenient given how often we use it. Unfortunately we just had our second machine die after only 18 months of daily use. We will be replacing this one with another of the same, simply because we haven't found anything we like better without spending $500+. We will buy the next one at Bed Bath and Beyond, though, because if it dies after 18 months again, we can just bring it back to the store due to their incredible no-questions-asked return policy. That's worth the little extra it costs through them vs amazon.

rubber lip

question: What feature of the product prevents items from slipping of of it?, context: I have a small kitchen, but the corner cabinets are really deep. I'm really short so it's difficult to reach the stuff in the back of the cabinet. So, I got one of these. I've had turntables before, but they didn't always turn well, or stuff would fly off when unnamed &#34;someones&#34; would turn it too quickly. The bearings in this are really solid, and it turns very smoothly, even if the weight of the items on it isn't even on both sides. The rubber lip on the sides prevents items from skidding off, which is great. The 16&#34; diameter is great for big cabinets. It's reached the top 10 must haves for my kitchen.

not a satisfactory sharpener

question: How is this sharpener for me?, context: 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.

can opener

question: What is the author reviewing?, context: I was in desperate need of a can opener, and this little guy saved the day. It is extremely easy to use! Even someone who struggles in the kitchen, like myself, feels like a pro using this can opener. I have to be honest, I didn't think the can opener was working when I first used it. It cut into the lid so smoothly I couldn't tell it was working. I kept turning and suddenly the lid was off. (insert joke about men being fish out of water in the kitchen). It was slightly embarrasing, but I have never used a hand held can opener that was so easy to operate. I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. I know she will love it too!

It cut into the lid so smoothly I couldn't tell it was working. I kept turning and suddenly the lid was off. (insert joke about men being fish out of water in the kitchen). It was slightly embarrasing, but I have never used a hand held can opener that was so easy to operate. I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. I know she will love it too!

thread counts

question: What about sheets is often misrepresented?, context: Buying bed sheets is always a challenge because of the misleading cotton thread counts, single thread vs multi threads, etcetera. I was a little skeptical when I first ordered these because the price was good compared to other high end brands I was considering. When I received the sheets I immediately washed them and put them on the bed. They fit my oversized King mattress perfectly. They were a little wrinkled when they came out the dryer, but I put them on the bed warm and 30mins later they flattened out perfectly. The sheets were very soft with a HIGH quality feel to them. It was exactly what I was looking for.Please be aware, these sheets are heavy (due to the high thread count I believe). If you like a light weight sheet then these are not for you. BUT if you like a extremely comfortable sheet that is high quality, then these will fit your needs perfectly.

finer sized heating elements

question: Why did I go for the low-voltage?, context: I had a Sunbeam for 4 years which I loved. It died and even without a receipt, Sunbeam replaced it based on the Mfg. code. However changed locations and bed size so it was bye-bye.I went for the low-voltage mostly due to the promise of finer sized heating elements.WOW!So small it is like magic. I could feel the ones in the Sunbeam. I also like how they placed the connector to the side so I don't kick it.In early use I have heard zero transformer noise.Either pad will save energy. The soft heat dobby is pure luxury

years ago

question: How long ago did the reviewer purchase the blender?, context: I bought this hunk of junk years ago and I can't believe it is still being sold! It is junk! I had a cheap oster years ago that did a better job. It locks up. It doesn't blend well. It is noisy. It leaks. It runs hot. It smells like burned rubber. It is useless with ice or frozen fruit. I actually have to open it and stir any thick liquids. And to top it all off, it is nearly impossible to pour anything out of it without spilling it everywhere. I bought this blender because I loved my Cuisinart food processor and the brand used to be known for quality and their products were always used on the cooking shows. Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why.

Another of the three would break in half where the tray meets the base each time it was accidentally knocked over

question: What happened when the product fell over?, context: Saw this on-line, and loved the idea of being able to use bar soap without the scummy film. Soap would last longer; money would be saved; and, there would be less empty plastic liquid soap bottles in landfills. The idea behind the product design is good. I ordered 3 of these. One of them arrived in 2 pieces, but I just glued it rather than returning it. Another of the three would break in half where the tray meets the base each time it was accidentally knocked over in the shower, and eventually I got tired of slotting it back together. I might buy something like this again, but it would have to be sturdier.

cast iron

question: What does the reviewer cook with almost entirely?, context: I cook almost entirely with cast iron. Most of my pans and dutch ovens are Lodge and I've been very happy with them. The T-fal is cheaper, but not by much. For $26, this pan is surprisingly underwhelming.Like others have mentioned, the finish isn't very smooth, compared to Lodge. This isn't too big a deal because over time it will get there with regular use. But for most people, we like to have the smooth finish from the start and save ourselves the frustration of seasoning over years of cooking.I've often struggled with using 12-inch pans at home. They work okay on a gas range, but for the most part they seem to be far too large for day-to-day cooking. A 10-inch pan is much more practical, especially if you've got things on the other burners.This isn't terrible. It's cast iron, and it does it's work fine. I've decided this will be my camping skillet and leave the Lodge for cooking at home. It does what it's supposed to, but it doesn't have quite the same finesse as the Lodge pans.

overpriced

question: How is the pricing of the product described?, context: While I love a lot of OXO products, I this this one is pretty mediocre. I don't think the design is that great and I'm not into the white color. It's also overpriced for so much plastic.The rack assembles very easily since there isn't much to it. It sits on the door top snugly thanks to the rubberized self-adjusting clamp. But I'm a bit surprised that it's not secured to the door in any other way. The back of the rack bar isn't padded, so it just slides/bangs around on the door - it would have been nice to have some rubber feet and maybe a strap that secures it to the door edges. The towels also kind of sit atop each other if they're of decent size, which doesn't help them dry effectively. This rack isn't designed to dry more than one body-sized towel; the other two towels better be hand towels. Lame.

two

question: How many holes were in the packaging?, context: 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.

lightweight

question: Is the pan very heavy to use?, context: I bought this as a gift for my mother, so I can't review how this pan is in use. We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.

guaranteed for life

question: What claim does the item have?, context: I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months. This is &#34;guaranteed for life&#34;, though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so. Seems extremely well made and solid and comes with that stylish and effective steel and rubber bottle stopper. Will keep fingers crossed.

4 hours

question: How long passed when the reviewer realized the coffee was still hot?, context: I checked consumer reports for well-rated insulated travel tumblers because I was tired of sipping on luke warm to cold coffee when driving. This one was the right size at the right price. I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours. As a bonus, when I purchase coffee and have it filled in my tumbler rather than the store provided styrofoam or paper cup, I only get charged for the coffee. It's reusable which means no coffee cups and tops for the trash heap at the end of the day. I'm giving it four rather than five stars because there has got to be a flaw with the design. I just haven't found it yet.

How long passed when the reviewer realized the coffee was still hot?

I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours .

I checked consumer reports for well-rated insulated travel tumblers because I was tired of sipping on luke warm to cold coffee when driving. This one was the right size at the right price.

question: What two letter word describes what they thought of the original purchase?, context: Yes, it's ok. That's about it. had bought a KitchenAid for myself previously and bought this for my neice. Thought it would be ok. Well it was ok, but that's it. Leightweight, rolled edges not well rolled. Returned it & got another KitchenAid. Worth the extra few bucks.

Williams-Sonoma

question: Where I am planning to get the item at?, context: I have used my pans a few times since purchase and love them! I bake all of our own bread and the loaves turn out perfectly every time. I thought the raised portions in the pan would make it nearly impossible to clean, but I was wrong - they clean up like a dream (I hand wash them). The grooves allow air to flow and make the crust brown perfectly all around. I was going to order the more expensive pans from Williams-Sonoma until I read that USA pans also makes those pans, therefore I ordered these. They are great pans for a great price!

coffee grounds

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

BODUM USES A SPECIAL BOROSILICATE GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON

question: Why shouldn't a consumer buy a bodom press with glass?, context: DO NOT BUY ANY BODUM COFFEE OR TEA PRESS THAT CONTAINS GLASS. BODUM USES A SPECIAL BOROSILICATE GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.I love Bodum Coffee Presses. But I would NEVER recommend anyone buy one with a glass beaker. You will need to replace the beaker frequently, since the special glass Bodum uses is extremely fragile, and breaks repeatedly for no apparent reason at all. I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. Make no mistake, you do not have to bang the glass against anything for it to break. It simply cracks spontaneously for no apparent reasonBodum has come out with some presses with a LEXAN clear plastic beaker.These do not break. I assume they came out with the LEXAN product because of problems with the glass. Be warned.If you do buy this product, buy a half dozen replacement beakers at the same time. You will need them.

two years

question: How long has the author used the product for?, context: We are VERY happy with this purchase even after two years of use. There has been no shrinking in the washer/ dryer and it's very effective at protecting our mattress, even from an attack of a toddler "accident"- leaving our mattress pee free! Two kids have now made it to toddlerhood making a mess of our bed, but our mattress is still safe! When we bought a king size bed to replace our queen, my husband asked "we're getting the same mattress cover, right?" I said yes. He said "the exact same one?" I was sure to make sure we did. It's safe and free of chemicals and plastics, really good at repelling liquids and makes NO NOISE when you lay on it.

knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment

question: What happens due to the small gaps in dividers?, context: This cutlery organizer looks great, seems very durable, and I really like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers.It has 2 small shortcomings, however: 1) It slides around in my drawer, just like any organizer I've ever had. I would love to have an organizer that stays put. 2) The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment. It's not a huge problem, but it can get annoying.Despite these issues, I think this cutlery organizer is the best one I've ever owned and would definitely recommend it.

You don't have to clean the paper towel

question: Why does the reviewer say he would rather just cover food with a paper towel?, context: Wife bought this a long time ago.I still not sure about the usefulness of this thing.One of the main reasons you use this is to prevent your microwave from getting dirty from splattering when you heat your food. Which mean you have to clean this cover instead. Better solution than cleaning the oven itself. But still I find it more convenient to just cover the food with a paper towel. You don't have to clean the paper towel, you just throw it away afterwards.It is not a one-fits all solution. Sometimes it is not tall enough.It could have been better if the handle is a knob instead of a hole. The steam can be a bit of a surprise when you get a little careless.Ours has not cracked yet. I guess that is an indication how very few times it has been used in the household.

awesome

question: What adjective did they describe the customer support as?, context: I needed a loud kitchen alarm that I can hear from another room. I liked that this model is capable of doing many hours too (which can be good for 24 hour fermenting on yogurt) or a several hours on a roast/turkey.The magnet on the back is robust enough to hold the heavy body weight up on the kitchen door or a metal panel. However, just be cautioned that using the magnet will muffle the loud volume somewhat. It is still very loud, but less loud when magnetized to the wall. I recommend if you need max volume use the stand on the back it projects the sound much better that way.I love this company. They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome. If you ever have issues with your product they are amazingly helpful.

rotary

question: What kind of brush assembly does the vacuum have?, context: 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.

beeping

question: What sound is made when the set it and forget it process is finished?, context: New off-white carpeting and a sick cat do not make good combos. Tired of hand scrubbing the carpet w/mixed results we opted to try the SpotBot. We are *thrilled* with it.Solidly made product. Easy to set-up. Simple to use. Fortunately have not had to use the deep stain setting - but the 3 minute cycle setting cleaned up all the messes in said time. The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it.There is also the more manual process w/a hose for stains that don't fit into the circumference of the auto-brushes. That worked well too.Why only 4 stars? I don't have longevity w/the product - and hopefully it won't be used daily, but so far so good.

Fortunately have not had to use the deep stain setting - but the 3 minute cycle setting cleaned up all the messes in said time. <hl> The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it. <hl> There is also the more manual process w/a hose for stains that don't fit into the circumference of the auto-brushes. That worked well too. Why only 4 stars? I don't have longevity w/the product - and hopefully it won't be used daily, but so far so good.

$26.99

question: what was the purchase price?, context: This is a thermos... not a mug, so if anyone out there is thinking this is easy to drink from, it isn't. Keep that in mind before purchasing since you may want to drink from it on the go. Also, there are a few pieces to the top of the thermos that I can't seem to figure out why they are there - lol. The instruction pamphlet that it came with is in Japanese only so that's no help. When was the last time you looked at any instruction manual and did not see multiple languages represented (especially English)?The thermos does keep my beverage hot for many hours, but a lot of other products do that (like Starbucks' mugs which are designed better and are usually the same price - note to self for next time!). The one saving grace about this thermos? It's very pretty. I purchased the rose colored one which has a soft, iridescent, pearly rose tint to it and I've gotten several compliments on it, but I don't think the presentation alone is worth $26.99. Next time I'll invest in a new Starbucks insulated travel mug which is user friendly and does the same thing that this product does.

tea

question: What have i been drinking?, context: I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years. I have used many methods to steep my tea but with these filters I use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf pu-erh tea and steep in a 12 oz. mug for just about 20 to 30 seconds, and pull it out. I get 3 perfect cups of pu-erh tea. The second cup is always the best because the tea leaves have already been rehydrated. After the 3rd cup I discard the tea leaves and rinse the filter clean. Simple easy no mess and the perfect cup.

it wasn't as easy to carry

question: Why was the larger than expected product a problem?, context: First of all, let's get to the minor flaws. This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be, so it wasn't as easy to carry. That's pretty much it for the negatives. Everything else about this product works for me. It kept my food warm for a loooong time, and it definitely saved time(no more reheating food that's been ignored on the table!)during dinnertime. Plus, the handles are easy to grip, so you can carry this with ease(just know that's it's kind of heavy).So, if you don't mind the size and the weight, this crockpot can be a good addition to your kitchen.

non-stick

question: What type of pans are these?, context: These are really nice non-stick pans. They are very attractive as well. I got the blue speckle and I think that is probably the most attractive color choice.Construction is really sturdy and they are suitable for whatever stove top surface you have according to the packaging. I don't think they are dishwasher safe though, as I saw nothing about that in the literature that came with the pans or online. If they were dishwasher safe I am almost certain they'd tout that.There isn't much more to say other than they work just like a frying pan should.The smaller pan is perfect for when I'm just cooking something small for me, the larger pan is great for the family. I am really thrilled to own these. They seem like they will last quite awhile with proper care, of course if my opinion changes I will update this review to match.

the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob

question: What is a flaw?, context: The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. Based on those 2 things alone I would have bought it and I am happy I did buy it. It cooks as well as any deep fryer should and it cleans and filters/stores oil as advertised. If it didn't have those 2 features I would not have bought it, though. There is one inexplicable design blunder that makes this machine frustrating: the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob. It cannot be seen from any reasonable height at any normal angle of view. This makes it frustrating because you are always waiting for that red light to go off before you start using it, but instead of being able to simply glance at it, you have view it from an extreme angle. I use this fryer on my stove top, which is the height you would expect it. I am 5' 6" and when you stand in front of it or even to the left or right, you cannot see any portion of the on/off light. I even stood up on a stool and looked, but the light is perfectly positioned to be completely blocked by the knob. It amazes me T-Fal could have approved this design.One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works. I couldn't figure out if I first wait 3 hours then turn the knob to "drain" or what. I ended up turning the knob to drain right after I used it and it turns out the fryer waits itself until the oil is cool enough (less than 3 hours), then it starts to drain.So, I'm keeping it for the cleaning/oil storage features but otherwise I would have liked a more viewable on/off light.

Allen wrench

question: Which tool is used to tighten the bolts?, context: Directions could have been better (especially diagrams) but I'm a technical writer so I'm fussy that way. It went together nicely nonetheless--I needed an extra pair of hands only briefly. For a really nice finish you'll need to devote some time to sanding, but it was OK as it came out of the box. Be sure to hang onto the big Allen wrench so you can tighten up the bolts when it starts to squeak after a couple of months. Overall, it's a good looking piece for the money. Packaging and delivery were all good.

sponge and a little dish detergent

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

granddaughters bed

question: Where did the author put the matress?, context: The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed. The pad gives her just enough softness. The cover comes in handy and fit just fine. It fits slightly smaller than the bed mattress but, as the instructions that came with the pad say, that allows for a better fit under mattress pads and sheets. Very happy with this product.

it does not disappoint.

question: does the humidifier work well?, context: I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores. He doesn't just snore a little bit, he SNORES LOUD. I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud.This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better.It is a great product.

I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud. This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better. It is a great product.

disposables

question: What did they want reduce in their home?, context: I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. I was not thinking of any use for them beyond the obvious of cupcakes and muffins normally baked in paper cups. I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... whatever you use stock for. I love these, I'm glad I bought two sets, and I may order two more soon.

computer

question: What was this meant to hold?, context: I bought this for a corner in the lunchroom for a computer the employees could use on break. I figured it did not have to be great because it was not actually going to be a business desk, and honestly did not expect much. BUT the wood shelves are solid; the metal frame is quality powder-coated and stylish. The parts are perfectly matched and go together well. Screws together tightly. The casters are full-size and fit metal to metal so there will likely be no stress-breakage; they roll and lock perfectly. The keyboard tray slides in and out with ease. It is hard to tell the size by the photo, but here it is: on the bottom shelf I have a 3-in-one inkjet printer and the CPU, side-by-side.The only part I did not like was the little mouse shelf that attaches to the bottom of the keyboard tray so it can pull out to be used. Since there is plenty of room for a keyboard and mouse on the tray, I figured it would be an annoyance - just personal taste and certainly nothing to be marked down for.Truly an exceptional value for a very low price. Great for students, college, bedroom, corners, mobile homes, or business applications like mine.

perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly

question: How does the toast come out?, context: The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out. I really like the bun warmer and it has been handy a few times already. Basically the buns just sit on pop up rods over the toaster and the heat from the toaster warms them up. The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly. I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges. This toaster is really big, but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it.
