Best Peeler Ever!
This peeler is amazing, and really inexpensive. I am really please with how easily it takes the skin off of cucumbers, carrots, etc. This is definetly a great item! | 45 stars

Perfect
I purchased the Bissell spotlifter in preparation for brining a new puppy home. (Gotta love the fun of house breaking a puppy!) This was a very smart buy, and has come in very handy. It's quick to use, and easy to clean up afterwards. Makes short work of little "puppy messes!" | 45 stars

Last for years
I'm still using Christy towels (white, cotton, loops) that I bought in the late 80s. THey are no longer as soft as the ones that I bought eight years ago, but they are STILL better than most other NEW towels. As to lint - why yes, they do shed -- for about two washings. Get past it! Do NOT use fabric softener on these or any other towels. Treat them with a modicum of respect, and you'll have them around for a long time. | 45 stars

Inferior material
Ordered this product about a week before Thanksgiving and was surprised it arrived two days before the holiday. The wrap around concept is just great. If only the material was a better quality, it would be perfect. I ordered the biege, which is very light and it's a little transparant. When you're standing away form the bed, you can see the space between the box spring and the floor. We do have a cal-king so there is not that much fullness to the ruffle. If it were a queen, there would be more fullness and it probably wouln't be so see through. But I have to say that the fabric is very thin anyway. I was disappointed in the quality of the product. It doesn't look at all like the picture shown. Quite misleading. Also, I was charged over $10.00 for shipping and if I return it, they want to withhold 10% of the original price for restocking. Guess I'll just live with it for a while and keep looking for a better quality. I feel really taken. | 12 stars

No suction and the brush does not work
This is the worst dirt devil product I have owned. Their descriptions lead me to believe that it would work fantastic. It has little to no suction especially when the filter has the least amount of dirt. The brush does not work. This is the feature I was counting on to pick up cat fur. The power reach with the brush attachment is very awkward to use. The only redeeming feature is when the crevice tool is attached without the brush attachment. I would not recommend this product to anyone. | 01 star

Back to Bunn
I may be a bit biased since I have been using a Bunn coffee maker for over 20 years, and always used a separate grinder. But when my last Bunn gave up the ghost last month, I decided to try something different. I checked into several "grind & brews" and settled on the Mr.Coffee, with the timer. I thought having freshly ground coffee ready when I get up, sounded nice. I purchased this with an open mind, but after using it a few weeks, I think I'll pick up another Bunn.Cons:1. When brewing, the grinds in back of the basket do not get brewed, so when I place pre-ground coffee in the basket, I have to make sure the grounds are piled more toward the front of the filter.2. As with my Bunn, I remove the grounds right after brewing to eliminate the bitter post drip. With the Mr. Coffee, it's not a quick pull out and dump.3. The decanter dribbles like my Uncle Henry unless I pour very slowly.4. The coffee bean chamber will only hold enough beans for about 8 cups.5. The Mr.Coffee makes 12 cups in 10 to 12 minutes, whereas my Bunn would do 10 cups in three and a half minutes.Pros:1. The grinding assembly removes easily and can be rinsed quickly and replaced. Be sure the assembly is dry before reusing, so fewer grinds will be stuck inside of the grinding chamber.2. The grinder sounds like a siren going off which startles my cat, but helps me to start waking up.3. Having freshly ground coffee ready when I get up is nice.4. The controls are user-friendly.5. The two hour shutoff is an added comfort.6. The price is not bad considering what you're getting.Final thought: I'll get another Bunn for coffee throughout the day, but use the Mr.Coffee for startling my cat and waking up with coffee ready. | 23 stars

Expected cheaply made--got faulty junk
There is a huge bar code label half the length of the small handle. Can't peel, scrape, or soak it off. My time-wasted efforts have left most of the label as a unhygenic ugly mess. As to the strainer itself, I expected cheap but got faulty: the wire mesh protrudes from the outside edge of plastic rim moulded over it; there are some much-larger-than-the-mesh holes in the screen. | 01 star

A mixed bag
I own a number of humidifiers, so I have a little perspective on this one. The tank is easier to handle than many other models and it does a good job of humidifying the air. Also, it is relatively quiet (especially on the low setting), but it does have a number of drawbacks.First, the filter requires a lot of maintenance, especially for a model that claims to have a permanent filter. That is just not true. Depending on your water quality and how well you stick to the maintenance schedule, you will need a new filter at least every 6 months.My bigger complaint has to do with the auto feature. The big draw of this model is that you are supposed to be able to set the humidity level to a certain point and the humidifier will run as necessary to keep it there. But what ends up happening is that it simply cycles on and off (sometimes for just a second or two) in order to keep the humidity level constant. I thought maybe just my unit was defective until I saw other people had identified the same problem. The only conclusion is that this is a design flaw. And don't think you can leave it on all the time. You will probably just end up overhumidifying your air and having to refill the tank constantly.Bought mine at Costco for a pretty good price, but given the problems | 12 stars

Just like the Dr's office.
Excellent scale. I gave it 4 stars because the numbers could be larger, so I have to put on my glasses to see it. | 34 stars

The perfect coffee maker for one or two people
I have had this machine for a little over a week now, and am overjoyed. I have owned more expensive "full-size" machines, and have always found that the quality of the coffee they make is quite poor when you are only preparing three or four cups. This cuisinart is a pleasant change on that score. The coffee I made this morning was flavorful and hot, and certainly better than what I can get at Starbucks or the equivalent. I'm a bit baffled by the negative comments I have read about the machine's design. I've had not even a little trouble with pouring, removing the lid, etc. In short, get this machine if you want high quality coffee in three or four cup doses. | 45 stars

Great iron
Very nice iron - especially for the price I paid on Amazon.com. Has a removable water tank which makes it easier to fill without making a mess. Nice, very polished stainless steel soleplate which glides easily over clothes. Has an anti-calcium system to prevent buildup caused by hard water which can block the steam system. Another nice feature is the power cord retractor - which works very well. | 45 stars

Good until I put it in the dishwasher
As one of the reviews already says, I loved this machine and it was a terrific bargain. However, the dishwasher (top shelf, mind you) warped the bowl so badly that I couldn't even put its cover on it anymore. | 12 stars

Disappointed Smoker
I wanted this smokeless ashtray because I don't smoke in the house but now that the cold weather is here it makes it impossible to go outside or even to the garage to smoke. It sort of works if you keep your cigarette inside or at the edge when not at your lips. I was hoping it would be a little more powerful. | 23 stars

Couldn't resist the bargain but . . .
should've. I just recieved the sheets and washed them. The washer was full of wet fleece clumps. The dryer lint fliter became full and the sheets themselves have clumps on them. | 12 stars

Not worth the packaging
Real junk .. albeit good-looking. Fell apart after 1 month of use. We replaced it with a 10-dollar cooker from Walgreens that still works. | 12 stars

Superb Value
I bought this set because I wanted a classic, beaded design and found this set to be comparable to a Williams Sonoma set (also 18/10) that was priced 3 times higher. I've now had this service for 12 for over 3 years and it still looks great. It complements my fine Wedgwood china as well as my everyday. The Continental sizing is a plus, and the weight and feel of the pieces are excellent.I haven't experienced any of the pitting or rust problems others have, perhaps it has something to do with water quality or detergent? | 45 stars

Died after 8 months!
I bought the Blendtec TB-621-20 Total Blender, Black in May 2012 and it broke just now, right in the middle of a smoothie. I use this blender maybe 4-5 times a week, not even every day, and it has died just eight months after I dropped $400+ dollars. I have just written an e-mail to the company to find out about a warranty or what they can do to fix this. Before this unexpected and very disappointing failure, I would have given it 4 stars. | 01 star

Excellent distiller for the price
Received this distiller about a week ago. As with other reviews, the first 4 or 5 gallons tasted horrible. Tasted and smelled like the inside of the distiller. I blame that on the break in process. Leave the top off of the distiller and let in air out after use and cleaning. This helps to dissipate the smell of the inside quicker. After about the 5th gallon, the water had no taste, which is the way distilled water should taste. The charcoal filters work fine, but in my case not necessary. The water will taste the same with or without using those filters. An added side benefit of distilled water is that you can also use it to rinse your car after you wash it and you will have no spots. So not only does it taste great, it cuts down the time to wash your car. No towel drying necessary. Just get one of those 3 gallon weed sprayers and put the distilled water inside, and use it to rinse your car off. | 45 stars

Purchased for my Mother....now I want one
My mother's friend had this clock in her apartment. I had never seen one before. We purchased one for my Mother as she was losing track of the day/date etc. It was a little pricey but worth every penny. It helps to keep her oriented and is easily seen across the room. Now that I am retired, I am thinking of purchasing one for my home. Ohhhhh........ how easy it is to forget what day it is. Thank you Amazon....you make shopping hazzle free. | 45 stars

Great little ironing board for the money
This ironing board was well worth the money. It is sturdy and the padding is pretty good. Great for touch ups and if you have limited space as I do living in an apartment, it folds up and can be stored under a bed or in a closet. I would recommend this product for people with limited space. | 45 stars

Adios Sai Baba. Thanks for the incense.
I have always had a fondness for Sai Baba's nag champa. It has an earthy, warm scent that isn't cloying and is subtle enough to use in close quarters. Sai Baba devotees have told me the smell of this incense transports them to their teacher,fills them with a sense of well-beng and I get a feel of that each time I light a stick. | 45 stars

Un-American Expedition
I purchased this and an American Expedition coffee mug for myself. I was shocked to discover that both of these products are actually made in China (along with everything else that "American" Expedition sells, as far as I can tell).Functionally the mug works fine, and the artwork is attractive. I paid a little more for this than I normally would for a similar mug thinking I was getting something special, but other than the artwork it is just a cheap travel mug.The words "America" and "American" appear about a dozen times on the packaging, along with words like "authentic" and "pride." Apparently American Expedition takes pride in America, just not enough to have their products made here. | 01 star

Best Flocked Tree
Couldn't find the $700 tree I wanted so I got the Barcana. It is every bit as pretty. Easy set up. Comes with a storage bag and extra lights. Lots of flocking at the ends of the tips. If you want a flocked tree, this is a great looking tree as well as a great price. | 45 stars

Very pretty pattern, chips easily, difficult to find extras
We got this set about a year ago when Amazon had them on sale for a very good price. It is a very pretty pattern but what others say about the chipping is true. We have several plates with small chips out of them, most likely due to some rougher handling by teenagers in the house. Still I think they should be a bit more durable. It is also getting more difficult to find matching pieces to the set. I have had to resort to Ebay to find extra items. Still looking for a set of cereal bowls. | 23 stars

a little loud, but effective and well designed
Of course it's going to be loud as any true hepa filter air purifier has to have a strong fan to push air through the filter. I like the design in that air is sucked in from all around and blown out the top. I leave it on low all the time and have already noticed the filter collecting dust and a reduction in how much dust I'm finding in my home. 2 dogs kick up alot of dust and dander and I just couldn't keep up. This air purifier seems to help reduce the dust collecting on my furniture and improve the air quality. I've order and am awaiting 2 more models from Honeywell, a quieter tower for the bedroom and shelf model for my office. I'm pleased with the purchase and the price. | 34 stars

Space saving is always a good thing
Seems silly to write a review for a cooling rack, but here we are. It's not going to solve world hunger (though if you use it to cool an extra large batch of cookies, it'll solve your hunger). It's not going to cure some horrible disease (unless that disease is a distinct lack of two layers of cooling). It can't possibly solve a Rubik's Cube with only its awesome rack spacer bars as manipulator arms (this is a cooling rack people, not a sentient robot).This item makes me want to bake more. I should listen to its subtle telekinetic commands.Yes oh great cooling racks, I will do your bidding... | 34 stars

I wouldnt buy this product.
Its loud but I like that for the white noise. I was really alarmed when I noticed a white film all over everything. So my 5 month old has been breathing in this white crap. I thought he was getting sick because he was coughing at night....nope its the white stuff. I don't even know what it is. Scary I am going to call the company to see if it is harmful. | 01 star

Great Clock -- Sets itself!
Love this clock. It sets itself for daylight savings time. No more taking the clock down twice a year and moving it forward or backward.Need I say anything more? Well, it is also reasonably priced and came within 2 days of ordering it.Just buy it. You will be so happy. I have 2 of them in my home.It is almost impossible to find a nice wall clock in stores these days. I tried with no luck.The only downside is that it does click with the minute hand but I have one in my kitchen and one in my garage so thats not an issue for me. I would not put this in my bedroom because I am sensitive to sound while I sleep. | 45 stars

7th Zyliss Cheese Slicer
I purchased a Zyliss Dial-a-Slice cheese slicer 4 or 5 years ago and just love it. It's still going strong. I've been giving them to friends as a gift and all have loved it. This is my 7th one and wrapped for a friends birthday. It's easy to use and works extremely well for thin and average slices. If it's a very hard cheese, the largest slicing width works, but I tend to use a sharp knife instead. It's a terrific product. | 45 stars

does a lot more than expected
I bought the Hoover Flair for cleaning a small one floor house and it's worked wonderfully, picking up things out of cracks in the floor that my old Eureka upright vacuum never could pick up.The big test came when the vacuum at my church broke down. I'm the church sexton and I had to vacuum a thick pile carpeted sanctuary that seats 500 people, as well as do the lower pile carpeted 2nd floor of the church - two 40 foot hallways and a 20 by 30 room and then a 60 foot hallway and four small offices on the first floor, all carpeted as well.I went home and got my Hoover Flair.As I started out I kept waiting for the rollerbrush to overheat and quit, knowing that this little vacuum was not meant for such a big job but, to my surprise, after an hour and a half I completed the sanctuary without a single stop caused by overheating and I completed the other two hours of vacuuming as well quite easily.Yes, the narrower head width of the Hoover Flair made the job take slightly longer than our full sized vacuum but I was amazed that this little vacuum did the job so well!!!It was also so much easier to maneuver between the pews and around furniture.Candy wrappers and the infrequent dropped piece of candy were gobbled up along with small scraps of paper.I emptied the canister three times but that was no problem.The next week week our vacuum was still waiting for parts and the Hoover Flair did a yeoman's job once again.As to the claims that this vacuum cleaner won't stand up by itself when storing it, if you lean the handle forward a little it engages a catch and stands alone quite well.I'm hoping to not put this vacuum through this kind of a work out again any time soon as I know that I'm shortening the life span of this work horse but I was really glad that I had it to come to the rescue. | 45 stars

Cooks nicely but AWFUL clean-up cancels out any benefit....
This is the second grill pan in my cooking arsenal. I picked it up during a deal-of-the-day promotion at Amazon, and was anxious to try it out. I was impressed with the way it performed during our first cooking session together, but when it came time to clean the pan - egads. It's a nightmare! Food sticks, bakes right on and refuses to let go. I did some research on cleaning options, read reviews, tried different cooking, seasoning, and cleaning methods, hoping to come up with a method that would allow me to cook chicken or a burger without having charred remains in the pan, but frankly, it just isn't worth the effort. Nothing makes much difference. I've greased the pan with Pam, brushed it with oil, used it dry, seared hot, started up cold - I've soaked in hot water, cold water, baking soda and water - I've soaked for hours, overnight, 24 hours! I am sorry I spent 39.00 on this pan - knowing what I know now, I wouldn't spend 3.90 on it. I won't even donate it to our local thrift shop - why punish thrift shoppers with this albatross? It'll make a lovely doorstop, and for that I give it one star! | 01 star

The KitchenAid KHM9PWH is truly a professional mixer. It is simple to use and operate. Its various speeds offers a solution to any mixing need in your kitchen.

Awesome
This machine is truly awesome. You can't make a bad loaf of bread. No mistakes, each loaf comes out perfectly. I had an old breadmachine (one of the first I think) and I was shocked at how much of an improvement this one is. The texture of the bread is dense and perfect, and the french bread has true french bread chewy texture. Its amazing! | 45 stars

Knee Healer
I purchased this for my daughter-in-law because she has bad knees and to provide more comfort when she washes her new born baby. She really loves it and said it does not hurt her knees when she bends down. My son also loves it as well. They like the pouches where you do not have to reach far to gather the bathing accessories. | 45 stars

Cute but not very functional
The appearance of this tea kettle is very attractive - however due to the design you must be very careful when pouring boiling water to prevent a steam burn. Also, it is virtually impossible to completely empty all of the water from the tea kettle - you have to wait until the water cools before you turn it completely upside down to extract all water before storing. I would not even attempt to remove all of the water while it was still hot. | 01 star

Well use Stir Crazy 8-Quart Corn Popper
We use this at work (24/7 shop) and pop a minimum of 4 times a day and many times double that and more. With that usage the machine will last, with minimal cleaning, 4-6 months (we've been through a few machines over the past years, so I know). I am going to get one for the house, as the popcorn is better than the microwave bags and it's easy to make. | 45 stars

Absolutely the Perfect Springform Pans
I saw a great deal on a set of 3 that was too good to pass by and I am really glad I got them. These Wilton Nonstick Excelle Elite Springform Pans perform perfectly. It is great to buy a product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. When you take the time to make a cheesecake or any cake you want flawless performance like these pans deliver. You can use these on virtually any cakes or tortes. I have the 8", 9", and 10". No drama baking and no surprises. Yummmoo. | 45 stars

I had my doubts, but now I'm a believer!
I was a bit skeptical about whether or not this separator would actually work. I'm happy to say it does a fantastic job and I'm so glad I bought it. My last separator did not have a plunger and I had to wait quite a while for the fat to rise, then pour very carefully to keep the fat from coming out. What a pain. The design of the OXO separator is so simple, but works immediately and so well. As at least one other reviewer already mentioned, be sure to have the plunger in place before adding your liquid.While I don't consider this a design flaw at all, I do find the holes in the strainer/lid to be a bit larger than I would like for some applications. When necessary, I just add a few layers of fine cheesecloth over the strainer/lid. Problem solved. | 45 stars

When I first got this I would have rated it a low 5.. after a year I give it a high 3
When I first got my cleaner last year I would have given this a low 5 stars only because I didn't like the amount of cleaner it used. It seems like you use a lot of solution for such a small area being cleaned. Also (and this would be more abouth the solution they have with the product than the product itself) the solution must be sticky or attract dirt because the spots I have cleaned tend to get dirty much quicker - leaving darker colored spots where you have cleaned, after a few weeks.Now after a year of use (using it maybe once or twice a month) I would give it a high 3 because of one main problem. When using the auto cleaner the machine doesn't suction well, leaving a big wet circle in the carpet. I end up having to use the hose to go back over the carpet to get the extra water up. Not a big deal really but just a slight hassle. The hose still suctions well and I have made sure everything on the cleaner itself is cleaned after each use, so I am not sure what the problem is with the brush suction.Like others have mentioned the machine does tend to use a lot of cleaning solution for the very small spot it cleans. I generally spot treat the stain first then just use really hot water in the machine for cleaning. Sometimes I will spot treat again when the machine gets to the point where it should be adding more solution. I have found this seems to get the carpet as clean without wasting so much solution and saving some money.Overall, it does what it is supposed to do and gets small areas clean with little hassle. | 23 stars

Good for the Price, Plays CD-R well.
I bought and returned three clock radios in this price range from other companies because they did not play my audio books and CD-R music well. This device does play these well and I am keeping this one.The only problem is lack of batery back-up, it does have some kind of internal memory but I am not sure how long it can last in a power outage or if the alarm will still go off, I could not find this information in the enclosed instructions. | 34 stars

wow! thats scary.
This book will make you jump out of your pants. It is a scary book! My favorite part was when they found a closet that takes you from this "summer" to the summer of "1956". It is a suspecful book once you start reading it you will never stop reading it untill you finish it. | 45 stars

The best invention for eggs & kitchen!
This is far better then any Oster or domestic brands. This is German engineering at its best! - It cooks the egg9s0 perfectly, has a sounding buzzer when the eggs are done. It looks good. It looks clean. A place for the cable to wrap on the bottom. Williams Sonoma, sears, you name it - DOES NOT carry in Canada. Krups Canada - doesn't carry it either. Go figure, Thank God for my seller and Amazon!!!Go and buy one - I bought 3!! You will not regret. The eggs cooker is a healthy and fun way and efficient way to cook your soft, medium or hard eggs. Much easier then the stove top!!Again - Great German designed product - you can't go wrong!! Buy one now! | 45 stars

This line of stainless is great.(do not confuse the different grades of calphalon) Heats well, cooks well, good weight, good balance, cool handle. Best thing: dishwasher safe! Next best: all utensils safe to use. (FYI, I love the anodized everyday pan for searing, browning...but the convenience of cleanup makes these the pans for everything else.) | 45 stars

The container may actually hold 8 cups BUT and it is a big BUT the interior metal has a MAX line at the just under 6 cup level. So if you think you are able to boil one full quart with this one, don't buy it. I'm disappointed. | 12 stars

The best HARD CHEESE grater on the market.
After seeing the Zyliss grater used in so many restaurants, and unable to find it locally, I was so thrilled when I was able to order it online. It delivers everything it promises and more. I have tried most other brands before, and none comes even close to the performance of this little marvel. My wife being French, she insists that we purchase REAL ITALIAN Parmesan, and uses it almost every day. The instructions state clearly that it is a grater for HARD CHEESE, dry nuts, and chocolate. We have used it for all the above and had extremely good results. The cleaning being so easy, as there are so few parts to clean, we haven't seen the necessity to put it in the Dishwasher, but I am pretty sure that it would not be damaged if one has the good sense to put on the top basket. Will recommand it without reserve. | 45 stars

Excellent product - I'll never buy bread again.
Preparing a small loaf (perfect size for a week worth of bread for us)couldn't be easier. Add quality ingredient, push start, and enjoy fresh bread in less than four hours. The only thing that could make this machine better is if it sliced it for me. | 45 stars

Great DVD stand!
I purchased this about six months ago and it's holding up great. I love the design and color, it's actually quite black compared to the pictures - or at least mine is. The assembly took a little while and a couple of pieces I had to really force into place, but it was worth it. I wouldn't recommend putting anything heavy on top of the stand as it really messes with the rotation down below. Also, speaking of rotation, you can adjust how loose or tight the rotation is by how tight the center screw on the bottom is. | 45 stars

Very good Saute Pan
I am taking a culinary arts class here at school and found this saute pan very easy to use and clean. I used it everytime to cook meat and the meat came out delicious. | 34 stars

Not bad
The stools hold up well and seem supportive for the average weight. I had a hard time with attaching the cushion using a screwdriver. It might be best to use a drill to get the screws to go directly into the wood underneath. The directions are not the best because they are all images and no text. I like the back rest though and they swivel very nicely. It's great being able to buy two at once. | 34 stars

Babyprints Keepsake Kit - A really nice baby shower gift!
I bought this as a gift. Thought is would be a treasured keepsake for the recipient. After reading other reviews explaining how easy the "footprint" was to get with the substance that was already "mixed up" I thought I'd order this. The frame is really classy looking and I'm sure once the little bundle of joy comes, they will cherish this gift for a long time. | 45 stars

Find another blanket
I purchased this blanket for $30 from Amazon after reading the same reviews I see now. The negative comment about it being too light weight sounds fake after I saw the blanket and found that it weighted more than I expected from the review. The real issue is that the quality is very poor. I returned it and got a $30 blanket from Target and found the quality much better. Luxuious Egyption cotton--no way. | 01 star

Horrible!
Looks great...until the first wash. fitted sheet shrunk from a queen to a full size mattress!! Also, lost all its shine. Looks like a very cheap pair of sheets now. Washed in cold water and dried at low heat. are those disposable sheets? | 01 star

Perfect for my daily coffee
I got this to take coffee with me to work every day. My company provides coffee, but it really isn't the best. Due to this, I brew a french press of coffee every morning. As most french presses, it doesn't seal very well. So, I had to get something to take the coffee to work without spilling it.I searched around for quite a bit for one of appropriate size, and landed on this one. It is large enough for my ~30 oz french press. It also doesn't look too bad. It has a bit of a "construction worker" look to it, but I think people understand that I'm just addicted to coffee. The strap is useless, I don't even know where I threw it. Luckily, it is optional.It also keeps my coffee hot for pretty much the whole day. Of course, the coffee isn't the best once half the day is over, but for the afternoon caffeine, it's still plenty warm enough to pass. It is also very durable. I've dropped it a few times, and looking at it, you cannot even tell.It is plenty easy to clean, as well. I rinse it out well every day, and about weekly put soap in it, and use a bottle brush to clean it out, then put the 2 lid parts through the dishwasher. Rinse, let inside air dry, done.I'd recommend it for the coffee addicts out there that drink lots of coffee every day. | 45 stars

A nice little desk
This is a good deal for the money. The top drawers are a little cheesy. They aren't fastened to any runners. But for the price, I was pretty pleased. There were comments regarding the color. I really liked the color, and it worked well in the room it was for. It was not hard to assemble, and appears to be solid wood. It arrived quickly with no damage. I believe you can also use it without the hutch. A laptop fits on it nicely. | 34 stars

Excellent for the Price
I bought this comforter at a discounted price(somewhere around 20$) and am fully satisfied with the purchase.True, it may not be as thick or as cozy as the expensive ones; but for the price I considered it a very good purchase.I am living at Chicago (whcih gets really cold during winter) and this comforter was useful for meCons : I could see a few feathers on the bed on some occasions but that has been rare occurences and does not keep me awake at night | 34 stars

Love this muffin pan....
Just received our Nordic Ware Cast-Aluminum nonstick muffin pan, the Sweetheart Rose. My daughter just made pumpkin-cornbread muffins. I sprayed one quick burst of a generic cooking spray in each muffin cup. They came out beautiful and all she had to do was turn the pan over and the muffins fell out. They look wonderful and taste even better. I would definitely recommend the Nordic Ware. I am keeping my eyes open for deals on other Nordic Ware, definitely sold on these... | 45 stars

Great Air Mattress
This is the second AeroBed I have purchased, one for each of my grandchildren. This bed is great and it takes about a minute to inflate. | 45 stars

Best thing since sliced bread!!!!!
Anyone who says this product doesn't work is not using it right! Just push the down arrow it will do all the work.....don't try to pull up. When your bottle is open push the up arrow and it will spit the cork out. Easiest thing every! Does have a bit of a problem with dried out corks! | 45 stars

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT ~ CONSIDER it to be 12 pieces if you include the storage case :).......
Absolutely LOVE this 11 piece set, although I like to think of it as a 12 piece set (if you include the storage case :)The Ateco11 Piece Stainless Steel Round Cutter Set contains cutters in the following sizes (approx):3 5/8 , 3 3/8 , 3 1/6 , 2 3/4 , 2 1/2 , 2 1/4 , 2 , 1 3/4 , 1 1/2 , 1 1/4 , 1Each cutter has a rounded top (the tops are turned under) , so you don't cut yourself when using any of the cutters. I have used these several times and the larger one I used to cover my christmas ornament cupcakes. It was the perfect size.These cutters are Made in China for August Thomsen Corp., Glen Cove, NY.You won't be disappointed! | 45 stars

a little disappointing but works well
I was disappointed in that the plastic parts seem cheaply made. The front tab was broken and the hose is VERY short and is now bent. I didn't want to bother with the return, so a little duct tape holds it together and it works well. | 23 stars

Love this!
I never had a pressure cooker before and love this. I have made 3 things; beef stroganoff (super tasty) chicken caccatoire (delish) and pinto bean soup ( yummy)... it is very easy to use and is easy to clean. I am so glad that I purchased this item. | 45 stars

From 5 stars to 4 stars to 2
Nice microwave, lots of functions. It's larger than we expected, but fit fine within the space above the range - the interior rack is really nice for heating or cooking on two levels. Also the fan is really strong and moves a lot of air. We like this unit a lot.**18 months later - door latch broke. We have 6 people at home, but we haven't mistreated it, so I still don't think it should have broken. I bought a Panasonic replacement part locally ($7), it looks a bit more heavy duty than the original that broke, so I'm guessing they figured they needed to beef it up. Install was a bit tougher than I expected; had to take the whole unit down (it's big). The tech manual was unclear and I struggled with the latch, but then I finally figured out the door had to be closed to install the latch.It's working again, like new. Still a very good microwave, but due to the latch I'd give it 4 stars now, though.**After 5 years, the unit died. Snap, crackle, pop, big puff of smoke, electrical smell, breaker blown. Completely shot, nothing works now. It worked reasonably well for the time we had it, but I would expect an expensive microwave to last longer than 5 years. Down to 2 stars now, final review. | 12 stars

Good, but has some problems.
This is a good CD clock radio from Panasonic. Just good. As I am a pessimist, we'll start with the bad. The comment that another reviewer made about the unit being bright was very true. Even with the dimmer on, the display lights up the whole room. This is not a product for light sensitive people such as myself. I found it necessary to put a piece of black construction paper over the display. Of course, then you wont be able to read the time, but your light problem is taken care of. I know this all sounds trivial, but it spoils a rather good product. Also, when the alarm is on, a red light lights up on the top of the clock. Also annoying. Another negative is that this does not have a gradual wake up feature. If you want your songs to fade in and wake you up without jolting you out of bed in the morning, you might want to consider another radio. I made a special CD where I edited wake up songs with a WAV editor to fade in. But not everyone is as clever as me :) Also, some websites say that this model has a headphones jack, but it does not. Now some positives; the player does what it's supposed to do. You can wake up to whatever track on a CD you want and the sound quality is very good, especially when you take into account that you are listening to a clock radio. I wanted to wake up to my favorite music in the morning, and I can do that now, so I am pleased with this product. I just wish some of the little annoyances were taken care of. | 23 stars

I love this
I have been making cheesecakes for 25 years which means using the old time aluminum pans. This has got some weight making it easier to use and clean. I always cover my bottoms with parchment or waxed paper so I can move my cheesecakes onto serving platters and for storage. It is easy to clean, you can't put the "body" in a dishwasher on any springform pan and expect it to come out spotless but there is NO RUST and the bottom does go in like a plate.If you lightly butter the sides nothing sticks to this as it bakes so transfering your product is a breeze. | 45 stars

Very Big Bag
This tree bag will fit a tree or two- if you have two! Very roomy I still have alot of room to fill in mine. Seems to be a pretty good bag that will hold up as long as you don't drag it because it's too heavy once you fill it!! | 45 stars

Not brand name as advertised
These bags are OK. But they are not as advertised. The page about these bags on Amazon says they are "Sharp EC10PU" but in fact the bags I received from B&M Housewares after ordering from this Amazon page, were a brand I never heard of called "Micro Lined" and the bag says they are "designed to fit Sharp models using bag type PU-2." So a more honest listing for this item should say they are generic or should state their true brand, or should say they are designed to fit Sharp. It should not misleadingly say they are Sharp bags. | 34 stars

Great Grinder
I was delighted to find a replacement for our Burr Grinder on Amazon at a reasonable price. We had the first one for over four years, used it every day and, I'm embarassed to say, had never cleaned it. It finally gave up and we just HAD to find another. Since we use Starbuck's French Roast beans almost exclusively, I am cleaning this new one religiously and anticipate that it will last for many years. | 45 stars
