measuring cups

question: What type of product is the person reviewing?, context: One of the better things about getting things from Vine is when manufacturers improve a flawed product and need reviews of the perfected version. Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups.As it happens, I had the older version of this cup in my kitchen cabinet (see photo), and while I didn't have quite the strong negative reaction those early reviewers had, the deficiencies of having a handle a 3 year old could curl out of shape were pretty obvious. Other improvements are a move from a cylindrical shape to one better aimed at digging, and a unibody design in favor of a separate handle spot welded to the cup.In general, a nice set of cups and a good improvement.

Bissell

question: What brand of product is this?, context: I am super impressed with this vacuum, here's why:* Extremely QUIET! Amazingly quiet.* It picks up dirt, dust, debris with gusto. In a room that already looked fairly well vacuumed, the amount this Bissell picked up was crazy!* Okay, I like that I can see all the dirt it picks up in the filter. It makes me feel accomplished!* The tools attached to the body make it easy to grab and use them.* Fantastic price!A very few buggers:* The switch is down real low on the unit so you have to bend down to flip it off and on. A switch on the handle would have been more convenient.Well, actually, that's the only thing I don't love about it.

the cover is the same diameter as the bowl

question: Why the item is difficult to remove without burning?, context: This steamer does a fine job of steaming vegetables and it sounds simple to use. Unfold, insert steaming tray, add vegetables. Add 3 tablespoons of water, open vent and microwave 3 minutes. That's it! Veggies come out crispy!Sounds good, right? Well is would be if it was that easy. The veggies DO come out perfect, although you may have to adjust the time depending on the power of your microwave and your desired level of doneness. For me, 3 minutes was perfect for a 900W oven. Less time is needed for a 1400W oven. The problem is that the container is VERY hot after steaming. Also, the cover is the same diameter as the bowl, making it very difficult to remove without burning yourself. The cover has a small tab protruding but it is not enough to grip when the bowl is steaming hot so you must grip the bowl and cover very tightly to open, which is near impossible when it is steaming hot.If the cover and the bowl were redesigned to make removal easier, I could give this 5 stars. But as it is, I can only rate it a 3. It works great for steaming but it is really difficult to open when hot without burning yourself.

Consumer Reports

question: Who rated the gel foam mattress highly?, context: We just purchased a new gel foam mattress which was highly rated by Consumer Reports through Costco. It was shipped to us so we didn't have a chance to try it out before we bought it. It is like sleeping on granite. Long story but it was just too much hastle to return. A friend suggested a memory foam topper to see if it would make a difference.After much research and reading the reviews here on Amazon we purchased this one. I'll make this short and simple. It arrived well packaged and fully opened instantly. No odor at all and sleeps cool. Most importantly these three little inches turned our granite mattress into a comfy cozy yet supportive bed. Perfectly fits our California King mattress. At last I'm getting the sleep that I have been craving. Fantistic purchase especially considering the very reasonable price.

water tank

question: Which part of the product rattles?, context: Bought this one after our 15bar died (see a previous review on how long that friend lasted...9 years). My husband decided on this one and it works great. LOTS of creama from each espresso shot. Not sure why another reviewer is having problems, but we aren't at all(maybe they should use good quality espresso). We use Lavazza espresso and warm the unit up for about 10 minutes before doing the shots. We did buy a few 4oz shot glasses to do double shots, that way you can get all the creama in one cup. Some people complain that the "ready" light doesn't stay on long, that's true but I just keep it going for the rest of the double shot and it's still hot and produces excellent espresso.Haven't used the steamer. But we didn't use it on the other one. I prefer to just heat my milk up and use it that way.Pros: Great espresso, nice looking, economicalCons: Does make a little rattling noise (water tank) but that's easily quieted. (push it up against the wall and the noise is considerably less).

5-star

question: What rating would I have given if the cutting board didn't warp?, context: I read the previous review about warping and bought the tray anyways. When I received the cutting board, it was perfectly level. I've had this for 5 months. After about two months of daily use, the crumb tray started to warp a little (not the slatted cutting board). I am very careful. I do not soak the pieces in water. I only rinse and towel-dry to clean the pieces because they are only used for bread (and this only happens sporadically because I usually just dump the crumbs). I stopped making bread for the last 2 months and tucked the board away in a cupboard. When I pulled the board out several days ago, the warping is even much more obvious. The corner is now raised about 1/2 inch from the counter. But, other than the warping of the tray, I would have given a 5-star rating. The size is great. It can hold two loaves of bread (about 7 inch in diameter, each), or one good sized loaf. The cutting board works fantastic as a cooling rack for hot bread. The tray catches the crumbs and leaves the kitchen counter so much cleaner than if you were to use a regular cutting board. There is also enough space between the edge of the cutting board and the crumb tray where I can store my bread knife a little more securely (rather than leaving the knife to lay on the counter or on the board), and keep the knife close for another quick slice of yummy bread!

15 minutes

question: About how long does this item take to heat up?, context: I choose this fryer due to it's ease-of-cleaning and it certainly was easy as parts are easily disassembled and re-assembled.The heating for me took approximately 15 minutes as advertised - sometimes quicker and sometimes a bit longer. The temps options are selectable between 300, 325, 350, to 375 max. The basket is easy to handle and clean. The timer was easy to set and very helpful when kitchen gets busy.My only complaint is the cap doesn't have an option to fully cover the oil. While the ventilation is key for steam/smoke to release if I desire to cover the frying, the issue is the times when it is not used and oil sits in there. The oder from used oil does get around the kitchen and may annoy family members sensitive to it.

OXO Good Grips Over the Door Stainless Steel Rack

question: What did they buy?, context: Gosh, I really like the OXO Good Grips Over the Door Stainless Steel Rack...but, our doors won't close. When we hang this on our doors, there's not enough space at the top to close the door. I even applied gentle pressure on the door trying to close it, but it didn't work. Our home was built in the late 50's. This over door rack doesn't work in our daughter's home either. Her home was built in the early 70's. If I use this rack, I will need to leave the door open.This over door rack can be used in a variety of ways. You could hang your purses, camera bags, umbrellas, towels, jackets, jeans, etc. on it. I even use hangers on some of the hooks. Of course the hangers will overlap each other & depending on which hook you use, a hanger can prevent the door from closing.The rack measures 18" long & the hooks hang about 7 1/2" from the top of the door. Silicone surfaces protect the door from scratches, & it is designed with spring arms which flex to fit doors securely & adjust to fit a variety of doors. The stainless steel rack is rustproof & durable.Satisfaction Guaranteed.

30 seconds

question: How long did they let the product sit for?, context: I have used this multiple times on my living room rug. It is the only carpeting we have in our house and it sure takes a beating. It is a light beige color and this little cleaner made a HUGE difference in it and didn't alter the original color. The spray puts out a flat, uniform line...and then I let that sit for about 30 seconds and then i used the vacuum to suck up the extra water. There is a brush on bottom but I am not sure what it is supposed to do. If you try to use it to scrub while you are vacuuming then it pops off. I got to where I just used it by hand for those extra tough stains and it really helped. The container for the cleaner/water mixture is pretty small so you wont get a huge space done. but as long as you only use this for the small stuff it is perfect. It is easy to take apart and clean so it is definitely going to be my go-to spot lifter.

the convection fan has become quite noisy

question: Does it make any noise?, context: Every time I used the full size oven in my small apartment, I had to turn on the air conditioner to offset the heat output. Since I bought the Breville, I use the traditional oven as extra storage for pots and pans. The Breville heats quickly, bakes/broils/toasts quicker and more predictably than the big oven, and it doesn't turn my apartment into a sauna. I've used it to bake pies, cookies, bread, and casseroles; broil fish and bake chicken; toast pecans, bread, bagels, and open-faced sandwiches. I love heated plates and the top surface doubles as a plate warmer. The crumb tray isn't the afterthought that it is on most toaster ovens - it's convenient and easy to clean after every use. I stacked the Breville on top of my microwave so it doesn't even take up any additional counter space. Looks good, works great.Update 11/10/13: After 10 months, I still love the performance and functionality of the oven, BUT the convection fan has become quite noisy as other users have reported. I've dropped my review rating of the product and notified Breville of the fan issue. I'll see what response they have.

a snap

question: How hard is installation?, context: Works great!We have this heater mounted to the wall in a really drafty and cold bathroom. (Maybe 60 sqft) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. The wall gets warm but not too warm, I can touch the panel but I wouldn't keep my hand there too long. The heater panel is paintable so it will fit your decor if you spend the time painting it.The installation was a snap and included everything needed (except the power drill).I am not sure how well this heater would work in larger room but I really like that it is not driven by a fan and is quiet as can be.

a razor and goo be gone

question: What was needed to remove the sticker?, context: I have 3, 17-20 year old children, so they are harder on things because they are bigger and these glasses are the ticket. We did a kitchen remod and new glasses were in order. I searched all over Amazon and other places to find a tough glass and I like the reviews. These are very simple stylish tough glasses.. I hope they stand the test of time but that will be seen. They are thick and solid.The only beef I had wasn't really with the glass but the sticker that is put on the bottom of the glass, whew, they took a razor and goo be gone to get rid of the sticker and the glue residue.

The box and the instructions don't tell you the weight capacity

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

old-fashioned basting brushes

question: What has the reviewer felt was never sanitary?, context: I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles. This basting brust solves that problem perfectly! It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table, but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. It should last for years. I recommend it.

4" thickness

question: What is the size when it is folded?, 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.

Presto

question: What is the brand of the skillet?, context: This thing is great! I've only had it a couple weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, although all the other Presto products I have keep doing what they're supposed to without any breakdowns so I'd guess this one's no exception.Since I got this in the mail, I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! There's so much you can do with it. Another advantage is that it's allot more energy efficient than using a range top. All the energy is directed to one purpose, and not heating up your kitchen instead.And NOTHING sticks to the surface! The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. They have a fairly high sugar content and will stick to virtually anything while cooking over an hour, creating a several hour soak to clean. Groats do this also. Anyway this skillet did the job. I just flipped the skillet over and out came the grits! I didn't even have to pry them out! I'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people. Great stuff!

snap closed

question: How do the bottles close?, context: I've used these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them. We have a set for milk and a set for water. The ONLY thing I wish these had is a little latch to hold the top shut. Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw). I'm guessing it's from bumping against other things in their bags??? We keep them inside gallon sized ziploc bags lined with paper towels now, after I had to replace 2 library books that ended up soaked in my son's backpack. The bags work well to contain the mess if/when they open now, but I REALLY wish there was a latch on these like there is on the bigger ones. Otherwise these are fantastic!

I'm guessing it's from bumping against other things in their bags??? We keep them inside gallon sized ziploc bags lined with paper towels now, after I had to replace 2 library books that ended up soaked in my son's backpack. The bags work well to contain the mess if/when they open now, but I REALLY wish there was a latch on these like there is on the bigger ones. Otherwise these are fantastic!

vacuum cleaner

question: What is being reviewed in the article?, context: I really like this machine. Really, really like it. And I hate vacuums. It's unnatural how much I like it. It works great, is convenient, and happens to be the best value I could find.The handle release switch almost caused me to return it, but I figured it out after two uses. Here's how to make it work smoothly: * Press the handle forward, * Press the release switch with your whole foot (it takes some pressure; toes won't work, but the outside of my right foot works fine), and * gently pull the handle back.Follow the manual and use a height setting that lets the brushes just contact the carpet to avoid burning up belts. Scrubbing the carpet at a low height doesn't clean better and wears both the machine and the carpet out faster.PROS:** Using attachments is convenient; they don't stick out and stay where they're put. Switching from floor to attachments is easy, too, and the suction is great. I'm surprised how much I like the power paw.** Nothing will revive my 15 year old carpet, but this really cleans deeply. It even pulled the cat hair out of the jute area rug, which has no pile.** The cord clip on the handle makes cord handling a snap. When using attachments I unclip the cord so it comes from the bottom and won't tip the machine over.** The cord is long enough; I only have to move the plug once to do my 1500 square foot apartment.** The brush roll stops when the handle is upright and you can switch it off when you're pushing the vacuum around unplugged. Few vacuums in this price range have that option.** It takes up less room in the closet than my canister vac did.** It's heavy duty, which means it's not great for someone who's frail or has back/shoulder problems. But heavy means solid, which is what I want.CONS:** It's a vacuum cleaner. Really, I hate vacuums, though this one inspires me to clean more often.THINGS I DON'T CARE ABOUT:Noise (I hate vacuums, remember?), hose length (could have bought the GZ instead), hard floor cleaning (don't need it).Overall I'm very satisfied. I bought an extended warranty but don't expect to need it.

10 years

question: How long did their previous iron last?, context: My husband loves high quality irons. He has used this brand in past and it lasted about 10 years. He asked me to purchase another but I went to local store and paid $40 for a shark. This was a big mistake and waste of money - the iron lasted less than a week and the plate seemed to magically get dirty. The self clean didn't help neither did extensive wiping. I was relieved to get this from amazon and the difference is unbelievable. The contour and glide of this iron is great. It feels good to hold and it catches corners around collars and buttons with ease. I see why my husband loves this iron.

question: How many knives did the speaker receive as a gift?, context: I got these as a gift. I wasn't wild about the crazy colors, but as knives go, they are really good.They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized, and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths. I previously had a giant wood block full or terribly dull knives. I was very glad to get these. I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. It's nice - takes up less room, and the knives actually WORK. All you need are these knives. Steak knives, you can keep in the drawer. Good gift!

2011

question: When did the reviewer first obtain the carafe?, context: UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. Love it!!After going through many glass versions of different quality I decided to bite the bullet and spring for this one. Not only is this piece beautiful to look at, it keeps the coffee warmer much longer with it's double walls and you can stir with anything, not just a wooden or platic spoon like a glass caraf. Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time. This is one of the very few things I keep out on my counter. If you have stainless appliances you'll really like the pick up of tones. We've had it for at least six months now and it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.

to use as a scoop for my dog, cat and bird foods

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

must exert some force to remove the cork

question: What's a downside of the product?, context: Was given the Cork Remover as a gift. What a terrific gift it is. Was very worried when the air ran out on the original but was thrilled to see you could get replacements. Installation couldn't have been easier! One does have to get used to it. The cork pop can be a surprise, and one must exert some force to remove the cork afterward. But how cool it is! So EASY and quick. A twist of the wrist removes the wrap at top of bottle. Push the needle down through the cork. Press the canister with your thumb, and POP! Cork out.Great product!

wedding gift.

question: The customer bought the factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional mixer for what occasion?, context: I have owned a factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional Mixer (6 qt.) for over two years and have had no trouble with it. It arrived in perfect shape, looking brand new. I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. It was on her gift registry at a chain store. I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest. The mixer arrived yesterday and has no scratches or blemishes. It, too, looks brand new. I took it out of the box to be sure it looked new, and only had to adjust the beater height using the screw in the neck of the mixer to get it in perfect shape. I know she will love it and it will look great in her kitchen. Maybe she'll even use it to cook something!

question: Is the product machine washable?, context: I have a young toddler who just started taking "big boy baths" in the tub, and this is perfect for him. (If there was a product that would make him sit down when he bathes, that'd be even more impressive :-) I was looking for something that didn't look like it was a medical product. The blue one provides a little style, and goes well with my bathroom decor.My husband travels periodically to places that manufacture rubber products, and the odor of the new product is par for the course. There's nothing the manufacturer would be able to do to remove the odor, except to use it a little like I did anyway. The smell fades. After you are done using the tub, turn on the shower as hot as possible and rinse the mat. You should be doing this anyway to keep residue from building up, but it'll make the odor go away faster. Also, it indicates on the product packaging that the item is machine-washable, so if it's important to you to get rid of any noticeable odor before you use it, throw it in the washing machine.I recommend this product.

anything

question: What can be cooked in the pan?, context: I was genuinely shocked at the quality of this pan compared to the price I paid. Completely worth it. It's a 5 ply, and the bottom is HEAVY. The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy. I can cook anything in it, it's very wide and shallow enough to pan sear steaks or saute asparagus or cook a whole breakfast like in the picture. It holds and distributes heat well and can easily burn, but cleans up just fine with some steel wool or baking soda. This is my go to pan for meats. Solid construction.

The pan will season itself

question: What does the pan do with each cooking?, context: I own this pan in the 8" and just love it. I was looking for a good quality egg pan and this is it! I use it everyday. All the teflon on my other pans eventually peeled up and I was afraid we were eating the product! I tried other types of pan, but my eggs always stuck. I went down to the outlet and found this pan. Yes, it was pricey but if I never have to buy another egg pan...I'm happy.The very first time I used it for my eggs, they did seem to stick a bit and I started to get discouraged...don't. The pan will season itself with each cooking. By just the third time of egg cooking... no sticking what so ever! The pan has a nice beefy weight feel to it without being heavy and looks beautiful. I could not be without this pan anymore. Le Creuset continues to make high quality products and you will not be disappointed with their non stick pans.Update: I did purchase the 12" too. Needed more room for cooking eggs for more than one person. Just as perfect as the 8" no sticking what so ever even with the first use on this pan. Definitely my favorite pans. You will not be disappointed if your looking for a superior non stick.

coffee easily spews out of it

question: does the Timolino hold in coffee well?, context: This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. Though coffee will stay hot in it for hours, acting as a small carafe, you cannot succesfully mobilize it - for the lid drips out coffee. The lid is not deep,even slanted - so coffee easily spews out of it. If they changed the lid, to put a closure which at least snaps into place, it would be useful as a mobile coffee tumbler. The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. Ironically, if it tumbles, coffee spills out and ruins anything nearby. The price is too high for what it really does, since you have to leave it in the office or at home.

stopped making the dessert I liked

question: What is the author's complaint about their favorite Thai restaurant?, context: So, my favorite Thai restaurant stopped making the dessert I liked, so I decided to try and emulate them with this grill. I won't blame the grill for my crappy batter, but I will say that this didn't sit straight on top of my gas stove (standard size), it kept wobbling. Also, I'm generally a fan of cast iron, but even when oiled, the batter stuck to the divots which were really annoying to clean. Bottom line, I have only used it once, and I can't bring myself to try again.

four

question: What is the highest number of stars they normally give to a product?, context: I almost never give more than four stars to a functional product such as cookware. Why? If something does a task that it was designed to do, that doesn't automatically qualify it for rave reviews. It means it is good and effective. But I must tell you, I quite fell in love with this Circulon Symmetry Ultimate Stir Fry pan over the holidays. As the name would imply, this is a pan that might be used in place of a regular fry pan but its design lends itself to wok style cooking. It has a real versatility and depth to make it an essential piece in our household.Cons: The only negative thing that might affect someone buying the pan is that it is quite heavy. I think this is actually a plus, but just a shout-out to those for whom this may be an issue.Pros: Size and shape give you the classic twelve inch width, but the stir fry depth make it virtually impossible to slosh contents over the side. Sturdy and durable, hence the aforementioned weight. Looks great. And this one (surprisingly) is genuinely made to be dishwasher safe. That's a big bonus on professional style cookware.We have done some stir fry in this pan, but I suspect we'll be using it for much more varied cooking. I don't really gush over pots and pans, but this one is a winner. KGHarris, 11/12.

Mr. Coffee

question: Who makes this coffee maker?, context: Mr. Coffee has outdone themselves with this coffee maker. It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. Anyway, I've given this maker a good run creating all sorts of coffees. I've tried different grinds and types of beans, all with excellent results. The unit itself is primarily plastic but everything fits nicely. I have only one concern with the obvious connection made between the main unit and the milk frother. It is a bit tough pushing it in and later removing it. Only time will tell how well it really is. However the coffees you create using this maker is as good, if not better than what you can get out. Take your time to learn it, care for it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I had originally put this on my Amazon Wishlist and was surprised when I received it as a Christmas present. I had it up and running the day after Christmas and have been happy ever since. One last hint.... Remember to use cold milk to get the best froth !!

24 hours

question: How long does the reviewer allow their coffee to brew?, context: I love cold-filtered coffee. But I don't like purchasing a $3 cup every morning. This Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot generates a lovely cup of cold coffee. Yes, it takes A LOT of coffee (I use 22 tablespoons for each batch I make) but coffee that emerges tastes rich and strong, just how I prefer it. I let the coffee brew 24 hours on the countertop and the results are consistent. Clean up is easy too; I just use a strainer and pour the granules into the trash. I use this device every day; yes, it's that good.

Hand washed

question: How should these washclothes be washed the first time, context: Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. Hand washed as they bleed first time it says, but seemed ok to me....will always hand wash, to not subject them to washing machine water turbulence, although should hold up in it. Would re-order if ever needed to, but these are PLENTY and just right for thickness---NOT TOO thick. NOT irregulars....retain shape. No signs after first wash of falling apart. If washcloths ever go bad, will do review update & re-rate stars. I recommend as better than the average washcloth, as very usable for different things and at various locations. Shower-1, Wash basin for face-1, Dry basin & counter-1, Kitchen sink for dishes-1, Dry sink & counter-1 General cleaning of areas-1. Nice for gift. My colors; 3 pink, 3 green, 4 blue, 1 tan (received 11, not 10). No shrinkage. Note; thick/plush ones quite expensive, hard to hold & use, hold too much water/suds, although look great just to show them off, and fluff gives poor scrubbing. Buy, as good price. YES, ribbon nice touch. Exactly right for me.

Shower-1, Wash basin for face-1, Dry basin & counter-1, Kitchen sink for dishes-1, Dry sink & counter-1 General cleaning of areas-1. Nice for gift. My colors; 3 pink, 3 green, 4 blue, 1 tan (received 11, not 10). No shrinkage. Note; thick/plush ones quite expensive, hard to hold & use, hold too much water/suds, although look great just to show them off, and fluff gives poor scrubbing. Buy, as good price. YES, ribbon nice touch. Exactly right for me.

Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. <hl> Hand washed as they bleed first time it says, but seemed ok to me....will always hand wash, to not subject them to washing machine water turbulence, although should hold up in it. <hl> Would re-order if ever needed to, but these are PLENTY and just right for thickness---NOT TOO thick.

steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto

question: The reviewer looked at the following two products?, context: I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious. Alas, I have not yet hit the lottery. While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. It took so much time to perfectly arrange the shirts on the board and spray down any deep creases with a spritzing bottle (not to even mention the fact that I would burn my knuckles putting my hand in there to re-arrange the shirt), it ended up taking only slightly less time to iron the same number of dress shirts as if I were using a regular iron. It was pretty cool though, that the ironing part was a simple push of the press, a count to 3, and voila! Ironed clothes! This thing is also a dream for ironing linen napkins, tablecloths, and flat sheets.If you're a perfectionist about your dress shirts, but don't have the time, money or desire to take things to the dry cleaners, this might be the product for you. But if you need to press large amounts of items, if you need to iron a variety of different types of garments (i.e. women's clothing or items with intricate designs), then you might be better off getting a steam generator.If you found this review helpful, please let me know!

the unit is not angled properly

question: What's wrong with the drip tray?, context: I've been using this item at least once a week for about six months now. I use it primarily as a griddle for french toast or pancakes or as a grill for hamburgers. As a griddle, it works fine. I wish it were a little bigger, but with creative arrangement it will hold 6 pieces of french toast. As a grill, it leaves a lot to be desired. It has a drip tray, but the unit is not angled properly for the grease to drain. I use 96% fat free ground beef, which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. I'd taken to propping it up, which helped but didn't solve the problem. Last night, I propped it on two inverted bowls--so much of an angle that the grease was running down over the controls in the front, and it -still- ran out the back of the unit. It isn't that I've overloaded the grill--we're only talking 4 hamburgers. But that's done it for me. I'm going to take a good look at the George Foreman GRP90WGR. It also has removable plates, and maybe it's better designed.If you're looking for a griddle or a panini press, the cuisinart could be great. But if you make hamburgers as often as I do, you might want to look somewhere else.

anything that isn't "juicy"

question: What kind of foods is this item ideal for?, context: This is a great product. I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice. It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day. It's perfect for anything that isn't "juicy", in other words veggies and that kind of thing. The compartments are vented, so if you put anything at all drippy in them, it goes thru onto the ice. (I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) It isn't a huge deal because there are three different ice compartments, each with two vented trays above them, if that makes sense. I just made sure that the two upper portions that drained into that ice compartment both contained the shrimp, so there wouldn't be any flavor contamination. (I hope that made sense!) Anyway - I highly recommend this product and I am definitely going to purchase more Prodyne acrylic on-ice serving pieces. I purchased a salad bowl that had an ice compartment from a local store and the quality was no where near what I received from Prodyne.

feel and smells much better now

question: How do they describe the room after using DampRid, context: We have a small room converted to an office, on the second story of our house. The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there.Based on a recommendation from a Home Depot associate, decided to give DampRid a try -- and have been very happy ever since. We put the container in the room, and about every few weeks or so we dump out more than a cup full of water down the drain. These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now.Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.

The paper is a little thinner

question: What makes parchment paper different than Reynolds?, context: As most bakers know, parchment paper makes clean up after baking a whole lot easier. It also helps with the "black bottom" syndrome I used to see in my biscuits and cookies. When it comes time to purchase parchment paper, I'll be back for this one again. The paper is a little thinner than the box of Reynold's that I bought, but it still works as well and saves a LOT of money to boot! Some other reviewers have mentioned that it is only 165 feet instead of 205. This is correct, yet incorrect. The roll contains 165 lineal feet and 205 square feet. The difference is that the paper is a little wider than 12". Please don't let the numbers confuse you. This box is exactly as claimed.

a tennis racket

question: What is the person's last colander shaped like?, context: I really like this version of collapsable colander. I had one that was collapsable and shaped kind of like a tennis racket and I loved it but it was really hard to hold let alone dump something in it from a heavy water filled pan. I didn't have enough arms!! So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily. Its easy to clean. Its a little tough at first to squish it down but it gets much easier after you do it once or twice. Brilliant invention.

a great little vacuum

question: What did I buy?, context: I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. It has filled the bill precisely. It's small, compact, easy to pull around and has plenty of suction. We also like the retractable cord feature. Now we don't have to drag that big, bulky shop vac around and knock paint chips off the door frames when getting it out the garage. The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable. I didn't need to take out a loan to pay for it either and I wasn't paying for features I'd never use such as paint spraying, trying to suck up bowling balls through a 1 1/2" hose or mixing smoothies on the veranda. This is a great little vacuum for the price.

washing instuctions

question: What was missing on the shower curtain?, context: pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub; the print is wearing off. I still like the shower curtain and will continue to use it.Update: Its been almost 7 months now and I threw this away.... its not the fault of the shower curtain, its my own. I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.

I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the <hl> washing instuctions <hl> (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.

pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.

scissors

question: What did the user use to make the slits bigger?, context: Absolutely love how this looks in my bathroom. Its not as long as other curtains I've had, so some may want to lower the curtain rod. I personally like that its not so close to the floor. Only semi-negative things I have to say is that some of the slits for the rings weren't all the way cut through so I had to use scissors to open them. If you use a vinyl curtain behind it, it is not see-through but without it you can see right into the shower. I bought a cheap frosted one and VIOLA! problem solved :)

We are very pleased with this product

question: How did the customer find the product?, context: This rug started out in my bathroom and I absolutely loved it. Then my daughter stole it for her bathroom and left a similar colored one in its place and that helped me realize how different this rug was. Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent. We do hang it up to dry when it is wet and it drys very quickly unlike the similar replacement. I have since taken my rug back and my daughter is waiting for them to be in stock again on Amazon to order her own. We are very pleased with this product.

rotate the mattress

question: What does this person do every month to their mattress?, context: I spent 6 months considering this mattress, reading reviews, making up my mind. 6 months I could have been getting a good nights sleep and not tossing and turning every night. Best sleep ever!! Both of us have back problems, bed time used to be nightmare, most mattresses don't hold up as advertised. I have a platform caption's bed, the mattress has been on a surface without sloops as the last salesperson tried to tell me was the reason my mattress failed. This has been a pleasant surprise! Only problem I had and was easily fixed, it was so firm where my hip pressed on the bed I developed sore areas. One trip to store for egg crate on my side of bed took care of the problem. I have a cover over the mattress and was worried if I put the egg crate cover under the cover it would slide around, hasn't moved. Every month I rotate the mattress, don't know if have to but old habits die hard. Has been the best mattress I have ever bought.

thirty seconds

question: How long does the customer leave the lids in the microwave for?, context: I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

weight subtracted

question: What does the scale do to the plate used to weight food on the scale?, context: After looking over all of the available food scales on Amazon, I decided that the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale seemed like the best choice. I have to say that it is easy to use, looks nice, and has great features.The scale can be used to measure every food you want so there will not be any guessing of the nutritional content when using the scale.One of the great features is that you can put something, like a plate, on the scale and then have that weight subtracted so you can measure only the weight of what is on the plate.The scale isn't too big and looks very nice. Besides food, the scale can also be used to measure the weight of other things, such as small packages.

zero

question: How many stars does this reviewer want to leave?, context: I bought this without bothering to read the reviews first and what a mistake and waste of money that was. This humidifier is LOUD; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. Another reviewer said they had to get a sound/sleep machine to duplicate the sound it makes. Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck! And it leaks! Not just a little, either and not something just a hand towel can absorb. Noisy, leaky and wholly unsatisfactory! I already own the Crane "Penguin" and couldn't be happier with that but I didn't want to have to drive all the way to the store that has them. I should have because now I'm going to have to do it anyway. Also, the filters get nasty in a very short period of time and I'm not crazy about trying to find them or wasting money changing them out when all I want to do is add a little humidity to the air. After all, you're adding clear tap water not something you dredged out of the drainage ditch. Amazon needs to add a "zero" stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return!

cookies

question: What does this help the author bake in a consistent size?, context: Finally have the perfect scoop for making cookies just the size I want them. Gave one of these to a daughter a couple of years ago and have wanted one for myself ever since. Why did I wait so long? The scoop is easy to handle, easy to use, easy to clean and does just what it should - scoop & release cookie dough or (probably) meat balls, etc. Haven't tried anything but dough so far. If you want your cookies a nice, uniform size, this is for you! Oh, and you can make nice, small ice cream scoops also. Kind of cute!

the two cupper

question: How big is the measuring device that the reviewer has?, context: I used to have one similar to this one, which always tended to leak, and was made by a different manufacturer. This one seems to have a better sealing mechanism and is really sturdy. It says in the directions to hand wash only, which is not a deal breaker, but it loses a star for that as it would be really nice to put in the dishwasher. The only other reason it lost the one star is you have to be careful rejoining the two pieces as to not ruin the seal. We will see how things hold up with use and normal wear and tear. I have used it several times in the last few weeks and it has held up really well. Perfect for measuring things like corn syrup, honey, cream cheese, etc. I got the two cupper. Not sure I would get the 1 cup as it would probably be redundant.

about three months

question: How long have they owned the product?, context: I was excited to have one machine to make espresso and coffee in a compact size at a reasonable price. Be warned - you get what you pay for. We have had the machine about three months now and we are starting to have some issues with it. The espresso carafe is cracked and it was never dropped or mishandled. The cost to replace it is outrageous. In general, it takes 20 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee and the temperature is never consistent. The coffee pot spills everywhere when you pour due to the venting on the lid. It is pretty easy to clean. But the whole design is odd/poor overall. I am not very pleased with it as a whole. I will not buy another one of these. I will buck up and buy a more expensive one with better features.Just an update. The coffee maker suddenly stopped working completely. We cleaned it repeatedly on a regular basis and have no idea what the problem is. The espresso make still works. I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. You really do get what you pay for. After we get back from vacation, I will be looking for a higher quality dual machine that will hopefully last more than three months. Buyer beware.

We cleaned it repeatedly on a regular basis and have no idea what the problem is. The espresso make still works. I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. You really do get what you pay for. After we get back from vacation, I will be looking for a higher quality dual machine that will hopefully last more than three months. Buyer beware.

I was excited to have one machine to make espresso and coffee in a compact size at a reasonable price. Be warned - you get what you pay for. <hl> We have had the machine about three months now <hl> and we are starting to have some issues with it. The espresso carafe is cracked and it was never dropped or mishandled. The cost to replace it is outrageous. In general, it takes 20 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee and the temperature is never consistent. The coffee pot spills everywhere when you pour due to the venting on the lid. It is pretty easy to clean. But the whole design is odd/poor overall. I am not very pleased with it as a whole. I will not buy another one of these.

scrubber

question: What did this person buy?, context: For now with the more limited use of this scrubber I'll reserve my 5 star KUDOS after a year from now. Otherwise it's a nicel little scrubber. I still haven't given up the stainless scruffy one we've used for over 14 years but I'm working on it. This one doesn't seem to hold the food gook like the wooly version does. And a shake or two lets out most of the water. I'd like a place to actually hang it up but so far haven't figured that one out. The round tab I assume is for scrubbing at a difficult spot or along the rounded curves of the bottom inside of the bap but so far haven't taken it up on that. I think if that is the prurpose it could stand to have a little bit bitter one or even a triangle with rounded corners in different sizes to fit different sizes of corners. But it does ok with stainless pans too. So far no damage to them or the cast iron pans.

is a trifle short

question: What is wrong with the cord?, context: Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight. I'm not going to pretend that it makes vacuuming the house any more pleasurable but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed &#34;The Beast&#34; soon after its arrival. It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag, unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. (I do have three Rottweilers, so we don't lack for hair on the floor). As some others have said, the cord is a trifle short but luckily, I have an abundance of outlets and if that's its biggest flaw, I can't complain too much. I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get.

Lodge

question: What are most of the reviewer's pans and Dutch Ovens?, 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.

Eko Cup

question: Alternatives to this product that the customer is looking into include My Caps and what else?, context: I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. Our French Press is great but many mornings it's just one of us drinking and only one or two cups per day, so I bought this Kuerig product thinking it would be the answer. It is AN answer but the coffee it brews is not. I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak.If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. I reached up to the seal that would prevent the leakage and moved it down a bit but it still leaks.I could probably live with a little water leakage but not the sadly weak brew that results.I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) but this filter just doesn't do it.Perhaps there's too much filter screen and the water isn't allowed enough time in contact with the ground coffee. I've tried cutting the top bit off a K cup and placing it into the My K-cup, then dropping the provided filter in which seems to help, but not much.There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps.This item isn't worth it.

mathematical formula

question: How did the writer figure out the weight of a diamond of the dimensions of their stone?, context: I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond. I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats. Then I used the scale to weigh the stone. It weighed 3.4 carats, meaning that it's cubic zirconia, which has a specific gravity much higher than that of a diamond.Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it.By the way, this scale is quite small and light, can use several different units of measure, and arrived with batteries installed and ready for the calibration to be tested and the scale to be used.

question: when did mr coffee appear?, context: Recvd in excellent condition and very attractive. I have always used Mr.Coffee ever since they appeared in the 1970's I believe when Joe Dimaggio was their spokesman.On this particular model I don't like the way you have to open the top and lift out the container that hold the coffee. Prior models this part just swung out. another dialike is the little "red ball" that floated to the mark on the outside to show how many cups you were making. They have done away with this on this model.The most objectionable thing I have against this coffee maker is all the noise it makes after it has quit perking.It heaves and chugs and sputters and spits it sounds like it has emphasema... I dont get this at all, just aggravting to listen to this in the morning

It heaves and chugs and sputters and spits it sounds like it has emphasema... I dont get this at all, just aggravting to listen to this in the morning

the back seat

question: What part of the car had much more room?, context: I bought a new car and had a dilemma. When I have a passenger in my front seat I would put my purse on the back seat...the new car had much more room back there and I could no longer get my purse back! This hook hanging on the passenger seat was perfect. It's not overly big so it's not really an eyesore which is something I was concerned about (new car, remember?). I rarely use the second hook but I have hung a water bottle on it when I needed the cup holder space. The quality/sturdiness is excellent. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is it would be nice to have a single hook option.

a simple spray mop

question: According to the reviewer what would be more convenient if you don't have pets?, context: I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon. In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking. I was previously using a rag mop which takes a lot of exertion and dreading on my part. This unit seems to pick up a lot of filth that mopping alone doesnt do as even when my floors looked clean the bin was filled with dirty water. If I could change some things I would have them lower the brushes a little, it doesn't always get the grout especiially the first time around, my solution for this is to spray cleaner onto the floor before to loosen up dirt and get everything wet before using the machine. I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. I would also love it if the unit could scrub and vacuum the liquid seperately instead of at the same time. If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then.

a lot of it is needed,

question: And how much is needed for the gumpaste?, context: I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago. I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste, it works great. For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. It will harden the fondant eventually. For gumpaste, a lot of it is needed, and it's actually added to the recipe. Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag. Otherwise it will harden really quick. This product is a bit pricy but it works. I recommend buying more than one at a time to save on shipping.

vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag

question: What is a benefit of the product?, context: Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight. I'm not going to pretend that it makes vacuuming the house any more pleasurable but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed &#34;The Beast&#34; soon after its arrival. It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag, unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. (I do have three Rottweilers, so we don't lack for hair on the floor). As some others have said, the cord is a trifle short but luckily, I have an abundance of outlets and if that's its biggest flaw, I can't complain too much. I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get.

digital oven thermometer

question: What does the customer plan on using for a long time?, context: I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. After 1st use my probe stopped working (maybe it was defective). Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). To my surprise, the new probes had stainless steel shielding all the way from where it plugs into the unit to the probe itself. Now this is how it should have been made to begin with. The replacement probes were genuine Polder products. Even with the added expense of the better probes I still plan on keeping this unit for a very long time.

This cabinet is very easy to assemble

question: Was the cabinet easy to put together?, context: This cabinet is very easy to assemble. It says &#34;no tools&#34;, but I found it handy to have a rubber mallet for tapping pieces into place. It is a one-person job, no problem. Once assembled, this unit is pretty sturdy and looks to be very durable.I bought several of these to use in my barn, to keep my equipment and supplies out of the dust that inevitably accumulates. I am a bit disappointed that the front doors don't quite meet each other. There is a gap, up to about a quarter of inch. So these cabinets won't keep the contents as dust-free as if I stored them in stacked plastic bins. And they are definitely not rodent-proof! But they are much handier to use than a pile of plastic bins, so I am still happy with this solution.

living room

question: What part of the house contains carpeting?, context: I have used this multiple times on my living room rug. It is the only carpeting we have in our house and it sure takes a beating. It is a light beige color and this little cleaner made a HUGE difference in it and didn't alter the original color. The spray puts out a flat, uniform line...and then I let that sit for about 30 seconds and then i used the vacuum to suck up the extra water. There is a brush on bottom but I am not sure what it is supposed to do. If you try to use it to scrub while you are vacuuming then it pops off. I got to where I just used it by hand for those extra tough stains and it really helped. The container for the cleaner/water mixture is pretty small so you wont get a huge space done. but as long as you only use this for the small stuff it is perfect. It is easy to take apart and clean so it is definitely going to be my go-to spot lifter.

32 oz.

question: What is the volume of the Ikea UPHETTA coffee press?, context: Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called &#34;8-cup&#34; models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press &#8212; thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

question: What do they think about the item?, context: This table is a little bigger than I expected! I like it for the area I bought it for, but I might move it because it is in fact a little too big for my taste for where I intended for it to go. I am going to keep it and do like it very much!

non-plastic

question: What material is the containers made of?, context: I tried all kinds of non-plastic containers for dressings and all of them either leaked or were huge heavy glass. This finally gets it right for ketchup, peanut butter, cream cheese, dressing, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, or even toddler portions of things like raisins or nuts.They are stainless steel cups with stainless steel lids. The lid has a screw-on mechanism to lock it and a flat silicone ring fused to the inside. The silicone being fused on is nice so it can't get lost or fall off in the dishwasher. They are style neutral for adults or kids with no paint to chip off.They have gone through the dishwasher no problem. It's a great idea, long overdue.Update 5/31/13The silicone gasket has loosened and is warped (probably from me being so lazy and washing it in the dishwasher-even though it says it is dishwasher safe). But it has made is nearly (but not altogether) impossible to close them with a leak proof seal. I continue to use them, since I never trusted the kids to thread the lids on securely anyway, I can deal with it.

cord-free

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

Sept 17

question: What date was the review updated in 2011?, context: I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. I was able to assemble this in less then 5 minutes, and only needed one screwdriver for the one screw. The vacuum sucks up hair, dirt, fuzz and bird seed from my parrot with ease, and I love the auto cord feature- that is a blessing! The canister empties easy as well.I have read reviews about this, and there seems to be a flaw with the belt, but I have been using it for 2 weeks now daily, and so far working perfect. As always if my opioion or any issues come up I will update this review, but so far super happy with this vacuum... A good Vacuum is a must, especially with pets and allergies :)* Update Sept 17th, 2011 * Its been a couple months since I received and my vacuum is still running great! I use daily to clean up after my dogs, cats and parrot.. It picks up hair, dirt ( on my tile floors ) and bird seed. No issues with belt, or any issues period! Very Very happy with this vacuum-

40 minutes

question: How much time can the clock lose over the course of a battery set?, context: The good:1) 10 keys to enter time. It's quick and easy to set any time up to 99 minutes.2) Beeper keeps beeping until you turn it off - doesn't stop after a minute3) Loud enough beeper. Has a flashing LED too.4) Magnet strong enough (see below).The bad:1) on my example, when the beeper is running it seems to lose time on the clock. Not a lot, but over the course of a set of batteries it can be 40 minutes or so.2) It is completely non-obvious how to set the clock. If you don't set it, it reverts to a bogus time when it sits for more than a few minutes. It doesn't "lock" into timer mode. Hint: Press and hold "STOP" Then use the "START" button to cycle the flashing hours, "STOP" then minutes.3) If you set the time, but don't press start (for example, waiting for something to come to a boil) and it takes more than a couple minutes, the set time is cleared, and it goes back to clock mode so you have to enter your time again.4) The magnet is -barely- strong enough, and leaves scratches on my stainless hood.I've tried a bunch of different digital kitchen timers, and this one has stuck around longer than most. It's not clear why it is SO HARD to make a timer that is easy to use and sturdy, but it apparently is. It's not great, but it's not as bad as some.

These are short and hard to knock over

question: What is better about this set?, context: These are short and hard to knock over. My parents had knocked over and cracked their taller acrylic set. The dispensing end is on the top so no annoying crumbs on table or cabinet. My parents like the little screw on caps which I might have thrown away. Also good If you live in a humid climate where salt cakes. Great genuine ceramic grinder, easy to turn. Since my parents are older I was worried about ease of use. These are very easy to use and adjust grind coarseness. I have been looking for these after buying a similar set 10 years ago. They are thick glass so very tough and seemingly impossible to break.

years

question: How long has this product been available for the public to purchase?, context: For years I have seen this product in stores. After buying one and using it over & over again, I am a believer. Great for candies, chocolates, fondant, dough, bread, you name it. I never had a great place to roll out pie dough...now I do. Bake anything on it and it wipes clean. Fondant peels right off, royal icing cake decorations too. Nothing sticks on it, I love it. I don't have to buy parchment paper anymore..so it saves money in the long run. I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. Saves time too, washing-pans only need a rinse instead of a soak & scrub.

waffle maker

question: What is this product?, context: To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. If you do overflow do not try to clean it right away - you'll make a battery mess. Wait for it to harden - the maker will be hot so this will not take long. The mess will then flake right off.3. Do not expect the timer to tick off evenly - it will tick off the first couple lights slowly and then the rest comparatively quickly. You have to keep an eye on it.Having said all of that, I love this waffle maker. I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. Clean-up and storage is very easy if you wait to clean it up until after it cools and any spilt batter has gotten crusty. Now if I could only find the perfect batter.....

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.

stamped steel

question: What kind of steel are the Gourmet knives made of?, context: Wusthof knifes are the best knifes made as far as I can tell. Tried others but nothing beats Wusthof. Well balanced and razor sharp. I bought 2 Wusthof Gourmet knifes trying to save some money but wished I would have just bought the Wusthof Classic instead. As far as I can tell it was a waste of money buying the Gourmet knifes.The Gourmet knifes are made of stamped steel not forged from a single blank of high carbon steel. The Wusthof Classic just holds an edge better and longer. So don't be cheap and breakdown and spend the extra money it will be worth it in the long run.My wife tells me I'm a knife snob now. I don't care and we now have 12 Wusthof Classic knifes. I told my wife those Wusthof Gourmet knifes have got to go but she tells me no and just calls me a knife snob. One day there going to come up missing. ;)

two

question: How many products did this person purchase?, context: I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet.I use them for baking chips (kale, yams, potato, etc), and these allow the air to circulate, which has resulted in nice, crispy chips EVERY TIME (without having to turn over half way through)!Easy to clean and durable. Really wish I got these sooner!

cook larger items

question: What is it a little small for?, context: I've had my original Panasonic Flash Xpress since 2003. I've been wanting to replace it because it was looking pretty bad due to the heavy use - but it still works great. I was so happy to find out they were finally selling this oven again! The price was kind of steep, so I waited. Finally they dropped it to $99 and I had a $10 coupon. I snapped it up. I can't say enough good things about it. It is great for our needs. I can see that it might be a little small for folks wanting to cook larger items - but it works great for our purposes. Makes wonderful baked potatoes, toast, bagels, waffles, fries, chicken nuggets, hash browns, great for roasting hot dogs or sausages, chicken breast, steak - really anything you want to try. It gets hot fast. No preheating. You will have to experiment with the temperature and time settings because it is not the same as a conventional oven or even a regular toaster oven. One note - the rack does not look like the one in the picture. It does not have the squiggly bars or the cross pieces, but only straight bars and no cross-pieces, just like the old one.

lactose-intolerant

question: The customer does not recommend this frother for people with what type of condition?, context: I am a big fan of cappuccino, and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop. I have a small espresso machine at home, but until now I was not able to use it to make any of the more involved coffee concoctions. This little Epar&eacute; milk frother has enabled me to froth-up my own milk.The frother is very elegant, easy to use and operate, and it sits very comfortably in your hand. I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk. The regular milk was mostly a success, albeit the froth was not as &#34;stable&#34; and rich as i would have liked. The rice milk was an almost complete failure. Despite my best efforts I was only able to produce a very small amount of froth. Others might have a better success with this device than I do, but right now I would not recommend it to the lactose-intolerant types.The frother was extremely easy to clean. You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

cherry

question: What color did they end up going with to match their room?, context: I like how solid this seems along with the ease of puttng it together. However, before I purchased I magnified the picture to be sure that the cherry was a good match for my room. Upon actually receiving it, however,the product appeared darker. I have realized how many products are photographed with an extra amount of surrounding light to boost the visibility of detail; however, in doing so, some products like these I've ordered are inaccurately represesented in pictures. So live and learn. The other aspect of the item I didn't care for was the width- it seems just a bit too wide for the proportions of depth.

heats up and gets popping very fast

question: What does it do well?, context: I was worried when it arrived. I had to leave and couldn't inspect it immediately. There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue. Everything was okay, except for the heating/warming bulb which was broken off in the base. I haven't been able to find a replacement for it yet.The machine itself was simple to assemble, extra switches were included. It looks very nice, like some of the more expensive commercially available poppers.As far as operation, I wish the pot itself was deeper, as several un-popped kernels get knocked out as the popping starts. It's also a tight fit to load the pot, if you're not careful you'll dump everything. Besides that, it heats up and gets popping very fast, with a lot of steam and fresh popcorn-y goodness filling the area.I cannot wait until this winter to curl up on a cold night with hot popcorn and a good movie. This seems to be money well spent, if any issues arise, I'll "pop" back in later with an update.

flat washer and nut

question: What was used to secure the back support brack?, context: These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.

it works great

question: This products works, what?, context: We had previously used a "cold air" humidifier but it made the room too cold so I tried this one. It works perfectly. My only complaint is that you have to constantly refill it. We can barely make it through the night on one tankful. Otherwise, it works great and I recommend it.

smooth stones

question: What does the product look like in the picture?, context: So, I just paid almost 25 dollars for some rough chunks of glass. They look nothing like what is pictured, nothing. One is significantly smaller than the other two, with a rough jagged spot. The product pictured looks like smooth stones. The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs. And the third looks like a cast off from a glass blowing place. Who knows. Terrible. I wouldn't normally leave such a bad review, but these were ridiculous.

One is significantly smaller than the other two, with a rough jagged spot. <hl> The product pictured looks like smooth stones . <hl> The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs. And the third looks like a cast off from a glass blowing place. Who knows. Terrible. I wouldn't normally leave such a bad review, but these were ridiculous.

very happy

question: How does the writer feel about the product?, context: I wanted to purchase a food saver to use when I made smoothies. I bought small mason jars and the attachment to place over the lids to seal them. You do not have to use a hose with the hand held vacuum sealer. It works very well, costs much less than the non-hand held products, takes up less storage space and works well with the vacuum sealing bags that zip lock. I am going to purchase larger mason jars and the larger cap attachment and start to vacuum pack my salad. I am very happy with this product and can't wait to try it on other food items. I do not know how long the charge lasts but so far I have sealed at least 15 jars and it doesn't appear to need charging yet.

taking in to your local Starbucks

question: Aside from filling at home and travelling where else is this cup good for using?, context: This is a great reuseable cup. Fine for filling at home and traveling with and just as good for taking in to your local Starbucks and getting your fix. It washes up well, I have not seen any staining like another reviewer mentioned. The insulated grip is in the right place and is comfortable to hold. The plastic cup material doesn't get too hot anyway and acts as a good insulator. I have a ceramic to go mug as well and it gets really hot and transmits that heat. If you don't hold that mug by its grip you will get burned. Not so with this one. The lid is sturdy and easy to thread on every time. There is no leakage or dribbling and the drinking hole is quite adequate for sipping, even when you're driving. If you take this baby into Starbucks just hand it over (minus the lid; they make you hold on to that for some reason) and ask for a grande. yay! Win-win! You have a cool cup with your favorite Starbucks coffee beverage AND are doing your part to keep paper cups out of our landfills. AND Starbucks will charge you 10 cents less (you may have to remind them)! The only thing that would improve this cup, in my opinion, is an awesome design on it, the white is OK, simple and elegant even, but not exciting. But that's just aesthetics--the functionality is the best. Buy it.

breaks or cracks

question: What is the problem with tall or strange plastic containers?, context: I love oxo products, with the exception of their plastic. It WILLcrack. I love these lids. Occasionally they fall apart, but usually I can get them out back together. I like this product, but not as much as the others. We had filled it with a fruity mix of candy, and were at the end when my son touched it and knocked it. Kept tipping because the lid was heavy. Not a big deal if it is full, but with their plastic, I don't like the tall or strange shaped containers. They tip and the plastic breaks or cracks.

a small apartment

question: What is this a good fit for, context: I carefully read all other reviews on Amazon and everywhere else before purchase. I have had Krups products before and been happier with them than with most of the other brands. I am not in the market for those really expensive Espresso makers but do want my espresso daily. My husband wants his coffee and we are furnishing a small apartment. This looked like the perfect answer. I have only had it one month but so far I am very happy. It makes both good espresso and good coffee and the milk steamer works very well. I saw that many people complained about it but I think they did not read the directions well and practice using it first. It appears that the original steamer design was not good and now Krups has modified and replaced it with a design which does work well.I like cappuccino and I use it by steaming my milk in a large cup first and then making the espresso in another smaller cup and adding it to the cup of milk. This way the cup I drink from is pre-heated and my drink stays hot. If just making espresso then use a small cup and it makes a very nice crema. Enjoy.

question: How many months has the author had their set?, context: The red looks good with our Empire Red Kitchen Aid appliances. The look and feel of the dinnerware is excellent. The plates are large, the bowls are deep and the mugs hold all the coffee I need (which is a lot).We've had the set for 4 months now, and have only chipped one plate and a bowl somehow developed a long crack from top to bottom. Not a big deal since it is Stoneware, which does break if you aren't careful. We wash ours in the dishwasher all the time, so accidents will happen. I'm still satisfied. Besides, the local supermarket is selling these as well so I can easily purchase a replacement as needed. The price I paid on Amazon.com for the entire set was a much better deal.

straight, small screwdrivers

question: What tools do you need to open the glue seam holding the battery case shut?, context: You need to know that iRobot corp. makes it difficult to change this battery. After removing the screws, I found that the yellow battery case lid is glued to the bottom of the case. You need a couple of straight, small screwdrivers to slowly tap open the glue seam much like a diamond cutter uses a tiny chisel to tap cut a diamond. I had to tap the seam every 1/4 inch to break it loose. Hit it too hard and your cost savings are gone if you break the case at the attachment points - you would need to buy the whole battery pack - so only do this if you are careful and patient. Removing the old battery pack also is challenging if you are not the careful type as it is glued to the base of the case internally. Cutting the wires and soldering the leads is easy but there is no room for any other attachment method so you had better be confident in your soldering skills. This is not a job for the impatient person and you had better have all the right tools but since I am a nerd geek, I enjoyed the challenge and IT WORKED GREAT!! CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES AND KNOW YOUR SKILLS and if this sounds fun and challenging (like I do), it is a great way to save $40.00 AND set it up to do future battery replacements more easily.

Baking them in the Oven

question: What is better then frying the tortillas?, context: These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven, I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla. I use the Tortilla Bowls to make all kinds of Food variation Items, Mexican Tostadas, Small Salads and even Desserts. I Bake individual Apple Pies with Pastry Pie Dough, Apple Filing and Streusel Crumb Topping, it's a little bit of work involved, however, everyone loves getting their own little Pie. I am glad I've got the Tortilla Bowl Makers! ...Thank You D.D.

works exceedingly well

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

borosilicate, a laboratory-quality glass

question: What kind of glass baking pans are safer?, context: I haven't actually bought or seen these, but wanted the dimensions. FYI, the Libbey site has 4 in a mini baking set, and the dimensions are 4.9" x 1". The site does not say if that is the inside dimension or measuring the rims. Glass or ceramic is by far the best material for a good pie crust, these are tempered glass, so they should be quite good.Sept 15, 2012: Bed, Bath & Beyond has this set for $19.95, but only in select stores.Oct 2 2012: I have just read that all Libbey bakeware is made from lime soda glass, which IS NOT STABLE, and can explode easily. Good quality baking glassware used to be made from borosilicate, a laboratory-quality glass. Pyrex was sold off to a non-US company, which changed its formula to lime soda, and there have been hundreds of cases of injuries and mess from exploding bakeware. See Snopes for a definitive article on this problem. Explosions can happen in the microwave, the oven, even just pouring very hot water into a cold glass container. Moving glass from the freezer or oven to even a room-temp countertop can cause cracking/breaking/explosions. Pyrex glass storage containers are ALL lime soda, and should ONLY be used in the fridge, after the food has cooled--NOT safe in the microwave or in the oven, or moving from freezer to warmer temp, unless you protect with a hot pad. If you want mini pie pans, choose a good quality ceramic, or a metal that conducts the heat evenly. Too bad, there is so little we can trust anymore.

What kind of glass baking pans are safer?

Good quality baking glassware used to be made from borosilicate, a laboratory-quality glass .

I haven't actually bought or seen these, but wanted the dimensions. FYI, the Libbey site has 4 in a mini baking set, and the dimensions are 4.9" x 1". The site does not say if that is the inside dimension or measuring the rims. Glass or ceramic is by far the best material for a good pie crust, these are tempered glass, so they should be quite good.Sept 15, 2012: Bed, Bath & Beyond has this set for $19.95, but only in select stores.Oct 2 2012: I have just read that all Libbey bakeware is made from lime soda glass, which IS NOT STABLE, and can explode easily. Good quality baking glassware used to be made from borosilicate, a laboratory-quality glass. Pyrex was sold off to a non-US company, which changed its formula to lime soda, and there have been hundreds of cases of injuries and mess from exploding bakeware. See Snopes for a definitive article on this problem. Explosions can happen in the microwave, the oven, even just pouring very hot water into a cold glass container.

question: How long was assembly?, context: I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. The real reason I am mainly reviewing this item is because I had read reviews prior to purchasing it where seemingly a lot of customers received the desk in a somewhat damaged condition...I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches. I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes, super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast.I would totally recommend this desk to a friend who wanted an inexpensive, very attractive desk without all the bells and whistles that tend to take up more space...A very nice buy overall
