The perfect cookie scoop!
All these years I have made cookies with a spoon but no more. This is a thing of wonder! It works easily and cleanly and makes me want to make more cookies!! | 45 stars

After several uses, not happy
Initially I gave this item 4 stars, but actually now that I have used it for a couple months, would take that down to 2 stars if the amazon system would allow a change in rating. The heaviness of the pan seems to retain a great deal of heat, which often results in muffins burning on the bottom. I would not recommend this item. | 34 stars

Great little steamer!
This replaced a conair steamer that was awkward and difficult to use properly for good results. It was constantly falling over, dripping water constantly. I struggled along with this until the tank started leaking (Thank goodness!)and I replaced it with this Steamfast. This is very fast to heat up, eliminates wrinkles quickly and is easy to move and store. If you like stiffer finish as in starched shirts you probably will want an iron, but this makes the material look great, no shine and much faster than an iron in my opinion. The price is great and It gets easier to use the more I use it and the pressing pad really helps. I am getting another one for my daughter for Christmas. | 45 stars

Quick replacement for defective unit
Basically our experience is the same as that as everyone else. We got this as a gift for my FIL, who found it didn't work on his carpets at all. We took it back to try it on our hardwood, though, and it was fine there. Adequate, at least. There are some thing about it I don't like, such as the fact that the vacuum chamber has a paper filter that it is hard to completely clean without ripping.When we got the unit back from him it had a problem, though. No matter how long you charged it, it would only run for 10 minutes. Maybe a "memory" issue in the battery? I called the maker, which wasn't really B&D; but their parent company. There was a date code on the plug prongs that estabhlished that the unit was under warranty, so I just had to cut the electrical plug off and send it in. In not much more than a week I got a complete replacement unit via FedEx. So I give the customer service people kudos. If it were me, though, I would probably still buy the Roomba for myself even if I only had hardwood. | 23 stars

Quiet heat and a great price!
I have owned several types of space heaters but have never tried an oil-filled model until I saw this being offered for $49 shipped! I have been very pleased. We have a cold room that the forced air furnace just doesn't heat properly due to the vent positions, and this more than makes up for it. I can leave it running all night and because of the fact that it is quiet, doesn't wake me like the others did with their noisy fans. I also am not worried that my kids will burn themselves on it like I was the other units. It does get hot, but it is not like the active element units that reach hundreds of degrees in surface temp. The radiated heat is much cooler to the touch and actually heats the same room better than any of the other units did by far. I couldn't be more pleased with it. The five year warranty also is a nice plus. Out of the box I had it set up in just a few minutes with no tools and the controls are easy to understand even if you don't read the manual (which you should, at least once.) If you have a cold room and are looking for a small heater to warm it up, look no further. I liked it so much, I bought a second one. | 45 stars

Great Grill Pan
I've had this grill pan for at least 5 years now. It's a great pan and cooks well on my ceramic cooktop. I grill steaks indoors using this pan and have been extremely pleased with the results, much better than any other pan I've used. Cleanup is generally a snap and the non-stick surface has held up well over the years. I'm in the market for new cookware and am looking at other pieces of the Berndes line. | 45 stars

I Can See the Clean in the Dark
This thing may work a little too well. Within 10 minutes of opening the box, I was cleaning black grease stains that had been ground into my carpet by workers over a year ago. Just fill the fluid tank. Set it on a spot, push one button, and six minutes later, the stain is gone. The trouble is, now I have six-inch clean circles all over my apartment. I'm going to have to clean the entire place once I get rid of the set-in stains. But I'm loving it. Who would have thunk it? I can clean my carpet without the addition of elbow grease! | 45 stars

Useful and practical
Product is as described and, as the other reviewers suggested, I used three screws to hang it on the wall and it's quite sturdy. I'm using it for my kids' coats. The pegs are nice and long. | 34 stars

Excellent Towel, Outstanding Value!
Purchased 4 towels in "Pale Linen" and could not be happier. These towels are soft and absorbent. They wash and dry with no problems (no pills). I would be proud to let any guest at my house use these towels and at $5.07 per towel, they are an outstanding value. This towel does what it is supposed to do; remove water, wash and dry without falling apart . . . case closed! Maybe it's just me but I cannot see paying $12+ for a bath towel when this one performs as it should (I've got better things to spend my money on). | 45 stars

Great looks, size, speed but high-pitched whir/whine
POSITIVESLove the color, relatively compact size, and fan speeds. Low is great for desktop or personal fan as long as it's not blowing right on papers. Oscillation makes a good sweep too.CONSToo tall if you need this to fit under an overhead bin in an office cubicle. The machine also has a moderately-high pitched whir/whine that is louder than the sound of the air blowing. I returned the first one and the second one was quieter the first time I plugged it in, then just as noisy as the first one. I could hear the whir/whine from another room even on low speed. If your office is not super-quiet or you are not using this as white noise it's still a great choice. Otherwise I'd keep looking. | 23 stars
|
Awesome bang for the buck
I have few complaints about this unit. I use it as a small desk fan and it does the job. While hard to complain about, a minor complaint would be that I would like a slightly wider stream of air, despite knowing how small the unit is. Other than that, it's a no-nonsense quiet fan with easy digital controls. I would recommend this to anyone that needs a desk fan or a fan for a small area of use. | 34 stars

NOT Pottery Barn!
If what you're looking for is lush, plush truly thick towels, these are NOT it. If you want Pottery Barn luxe, you'll have to go there. These are a poor substitute. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned them all. | 12 stars

Fulfilled my expecations
Indeed worth the extra price, even heat distribution, great quality, outstanding workmanshipThe perfect size for a family of five. | 45 stars

Flat bottom too small for gas range
I did a fair amount of research and this looked like a great wok. Unfortunately, the flat bottom is too small for the grate on my gas range so the pan does not sit flat. Something to consider if you are looking at this wok. | 01 star

Mosquito Magnet delivers a HORRIBLE experience.
We purchased a mosquito magnet freedom unit in January 2003. The cost was approximately $800. The unit worked for about 50% of the time and was a constant source of incredible frustration. The normal maintenance for a working system requires a propane tank change every couple of weeks, but about half the time, the system would not restart. The sequence of events was then to call the manufacturer of the product who would provide excuses for its malfunctioning and a supposed solution. The new piece of equipment would arrive which inevitably didn't solve the problem for more than a month or two. In most cases, American Biophysics' help desk, the manufacturer, would be rude and didn't care if the customer's problem was solved or the frustrated user was satisfied. After about 18 months or two seasons of problems, new parts, and in one case, a new system, the unit doesn't work. Since the system is now out of warranty, their new solution is for us to fork over another $500 to fix the failed unit or buy a new system. It takes tremendous audacity for this company to suggest their customer should waste another multiple hundreds of dollars in 24 months when the first experience has been an absolute nightmare. One would think that the company would stand by their products and care about the customer and his/her experience. My strong recommendation for any interested party in a mosquito magnet unit is to reconsider. Unfortunately, my experience is not alone as another colleague has shared a similar nightmare. My recommendation is to give the $800 to charity instead of spending on a time-consuming, exasperating 18 month experience and an eventual backyard ornament. | 01 star

This Rack Made My Day!!
I just received my Commercial Collapsible Clothing Rack, a full five days sooner than expected I might add, and it's WONDERFUL! In less than fifteen minutes I had the rack set up and practically all my clothes hanging on it. I rolled it into my closet and it fit well...with NO wobbles! I've probably spent over $100 on racks that fell down almost immediately. I wish I'd found this rack before I wasted all that money on those cheap racks!This was not the rack I originally wanted, I was thinking that I'd need the rack that holds 400 lbs, however, after I did the measurements, I realized that the Z-rack wouldn't fit in my closet, too tall. So, with available space being the deciding factor, I ordered this rack and I'm very happy with it and it's adjustable uprights. My closet is almost organized and I'm thrilled! In fact, I'm ordering another rack next week! | 45 stars

As much work as ironing
For the price, it IS amazing that this steamer does anything, which accounts for all the rave reviews. This little number is not real powerful, so you don't get the effortless, quick steamer results that most of us seek. The steam output is low, so you go over and over the garment, with little improvement. Forget about using it on linen. Even on thin cotton, it creates tiny spider wrinkles. You have to hold the hose vertically to prevent water from spurting, which is awkward and dangerous, as the hose gets HOT. You have to have a door near an electrical outlet. Then the hook doesn't fit over the thickness of the door, nor does the hose reach the item hanging from it. It is as much work as ironing, but with ironing, you can eventually achieve the desired result. The steamer is compact, heats quickly and doesn't take up much room. I returned mine, but there may be a few people who like this steamer. | 01 star

Best Microwave Plate cover
This is an excellent product. Very durable. Made of a thick plastic, not thin and flexible like most of it's competition. Great size for the average dinner plate. Have not been able to find a plate cover of equal quality for years. | 45 stars

What a SWEET product!
Where has this pineapple slicer been all my life? Fresh pineapple is so much better than canned and this slicer makes preparing fresh pineapple a breeze. Easy to use and easy to clean up. This one is a winner! | 45 stars

Good for more than produce
These bags are brilliant! They are good for produce, of course. They launder well. They are also brilliant as replacements for plastic shopping bags, much better than the string shopping bags that I ordered. The drawstring keeps everything nice and safe. I'm ordering more! | 45 stars

Timeless Classic in Ancient Egypt
It's got all the qualities of a children's classic: adventure, a mystery to solve, interesting characters--and you inadvertantly learn a good bit about ancient Egyptian culture. Written well, plot is paced well--all in all, a very enjoyable read at any age. | 45 stars

Generally good
Well crafted except for one thing I have noticed so far: The caps/nuts on the screws on which the mirror flips/rotates are prone to come undone and fall off. I can scarcely turn from the normal to the magnified side without one or the other of the caps coming loose. | 23 stars

Excellent Cutting Board!
I received this board 4 years ago and it worked perfectly for four years. I followed the instructions and I oiled all surfaces of the board well with the recommended food safe oil. This board was good to my knives and worked well. It is really a beautiful board. Unfortunately, I did not tell my wife that you cannot soak this board in water and she soaked it overnight. It ultimately cracked so I gave it to a friend who liked it enough to try and fix it for himself. I've ordered another board and I expect to get many years out of that one as well. I strongly recommend this product! | 45 stars

Order cancelled without explanation
Allergy Be Gone sent one note a couple of weeks late saying they were having trouble getting this in. A couple of weeks later I received a note from Amazon that the order had been cancelled. So, although I'd love to review this fan, I was disappointed by the vendor. Current product listing on Amazon shows "one left in stock". Frustrating... | 01 star

I LOVE THIS JUICER!!!!
I had a Green Star juicer for a few years. According to information I found online, that juicer was supposed to be top of the line, and I suppose it is, but it was also big, heavy, inconvenient, hard to use and difficult to clean well. So much so, that it ended up being a dust catcher and I finally sold it.For Christmas, my husband gave me one of these Breville compact juice fountains. It is wonderful! Lightweight, easy and quick to clean, works FAST and efficiently. The pulp is considerably dryer than what came out of my Green Star.I realize that the life of this juicer will be less than with the Green Star probably, but for the price, I could buy several replacements, and since I was reluctant to use the other one.... well, enough said.I heartily recommend this juicer! | 45 stars

Love these sheets
I purchased these sheets and I LOVE them. I recently got into buying higher thread count sheets and saw these on sale on amazon. I purchased sage king size sheets. I thought they where solid but they ended up having small sage and white checkers on them but they matched anyhow and they are the best flannel sheets I've ever owned. LOVE them and have recommended them to friends and family. | 45 stars

Best Juicer Ever!
I bought this product and was immediately impressed. In a short time I understood how to use it effectively, including putting it together and taking it apart. It is easy to operate and to clean, and is quiet as juicers go. The system is designed to minimize clean up. The juicer extracts efficiently and I seem to get more juice from this juicer than my previous brand. Highly recommend! | 45 stars

Great for Steelers fans
Firstly, it is huge. It is nearly 2 1/2 feet tall. The white cuff part on the top was a little too folded under so the bottom of the "Steelers" letters got a tad cut off, but the recipient loved it so much that no one cared. The snowman decoration was pretty cool in person. It is 3D (bas relief) and looks really cute...I mean, manly(hahaha). The real fringe at the end of the scarf is a nice touch, too. I was very pleased and would definitely purchase this again (if I meet any more Steelers fans). | 34 stars

Love It!
Single mans dream!~Perfect for couples. No Glass to clean-Doesn't dribble. Easy to clean. Only thing I could see as a slight but insignificant negative is it shuts off quickly but you just push the button again. Better safe than sorry. Would buy it again! | 45 stars

Fresh nutmeg is the best

pressing matter
I have owned Rowenta irons, primarily the Pro. I was in need of another iron and wanted to spend less money than a Pro but get similar features. Based on my Consumer Report's review of this iron I tried it and I love it. For about half the price of Rowenta's Pro, I have the similar weight, spray, spot steam, this one has digital read out, heats up fast and beeps that it's ready. So when my daughter told me the Pro had a short in the wiring, I replaced it with another one of these. | 45 stars

Good Microwave- great price
It's not as powerful as I had hoped, but it's basic and cheap and gets the job done. There's no "one-button" cook functionality so that's a bummer, but the defroster is great, just as all the reviews say. | 34 stars

Green light clock
The clock is quite functional, the green light is not too bright in the dark, making the numbers easy to view. | 45 stars

Best I've Found
This is the one I use. It's better than the new ones with removable plates. Even though a bit more combersome to clean, it has a more even heat. And, after a couple times using it, you will know where to set the timer, so you don't have to keep opening it to see if items are done cooking. I would recommend this one to anyone. | 34 stars

Nice napkins...
Although you should probably follow the washing instructions to a T. I washed on cold but tumble dried low instead of air dried, and they seemed a little less vibrant than when they were 100% new. | 34 stars

Softest sheet you'll ever sleep under!
I first bought these sheets at an outlet store and went crazy trying to find them again! They are the softest, smoothest, lightest sheets I've ever felt, much softer than sheets with much higher thread counts (believe me, I've tried quite a few in search of these). I finally found a tag I hadn't already removed in a pillow case and was delighted to find them here at reasonable cost.The only downside is that because they are so light and soft they don't wear as well as some heavier, tougher sheets. DUH. After using the same fitted and flat sheet set practically without a break for two years now the fitted sheet is starting to fray through. So what? Indulge yourself! | 34 stars

Works great, for a while
We were pleased with this kettle, looks good, boils fast. However, after 16 months, it leaked and then stopped working (presumably something shorted out). Not terrible, but these things should last longer! | 23 stars

Delicious!
These pods work great in my Krups machine which has ESE capability. I don't notice enough difference between these and the Illy pods I was using to warrant the much higher Illy price. I will buy again. | 45 stars

Great product could use a modest improvement
I am very fond of this product. After 1 month of continuous use it has retained its shape and distributes weight well.There is one modest suggestion. I would put in a few pockets of soft cushion on top of the bean padding. This would make the pillow more comfortable. The pockets would require sewing in to assure that they don't wander. A silicon jell pack or a cotton (preferred) would work best. People who will pay for this pillow won't mind the additional cost.If this review was helpful, please add your vote. | 45 stars

VERY CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING........
I found a convection oven that is IDENTICAL to this one....at my local CVS over the holiday; it was reduced to $49.99 from $59.99!!! I had a NuWave oven - $120 down the tubes....DONT EVER GET THE NUWAVE..really crummy...anyway, I got this, only mine was called the "Infra-Chef"......I love it!! you have to experiment with cooking times, and the instruction manual that comes with it is rather sparse on recipes, but you can get started with it very easily....I use it for EVERTHING, even toast!! and bagels...wonderful!What I am 'curious' about is that I see this EXACT same convection oven with different names and different prices.....just yesterday on SHOPNBC I saw the exact same thing, by Sharper Image, for around $80...identical to the one I got...So who the heck is making all these? one company, or several? and when did the very first one come out? and how much was it?I seriously doubt I'll ever be able to find out any of the answers to these questions, but it never hurts to try..Any info anyone can find out on this, I will be anxious to hear about!!Anyway, it's a great product, no matter who makes it, and is well worth the money...Just don't fall for the NuWave Oven junk!! | 45 stars

Exceeded my expectaions
We bake our own bread and we were looking for a knife that wouldn't compress a freshly baked loaf.This knife is so sharp and well designed that almost no pressure is needed to cut the bread, which is perfect for soft bread.It is also very good at cutting the occasional brick that comes out of the bread maker (we are still experimenting ha ha).Seriously though, this knife is VERY sharp and watch out for the finger tips of the hand holding the loaf as it can cause a very nasty cut. | 45 stars

Why you'll never use anything else for garlic
You may have tried garlic presses before. They were probably yhe type where you have to peel the garlic first. Then they're a menace to clean. This is different, mainly, I reckon, because there is NO NEED to peel the clove. Just throw it in, squeeze hard, and that's it. Usually, the skin comes back out cleanly first time. If it doesn't, it comes out easily on your knife. They even give you a little plastic thing to clean out any excess, but I've never needed it -- it's very easy to clean. I think this will become one of those ESSENTIAL gadgets. I might buy another now, because if mine ever broke (it doesn't feel like it ever will) I'd be lost. | 45 stars

Froth your nutrients

Excellent products and superior customer service!
I have recently purchased two tablecloths, two sets of placemats, and two sets of napkins. I am so pleased that I have just now ordered another two sets of placemats in a different color.

Fast Shipping and Great Quality
I loved this set when I found it. Most of the other products cost just as much but are single mortar and pestle sets. This has three different sizes that all sit stacked together nicely. This is great if you need to mix different ingredients seperately, or like me, your three year old likes to mash cherrios in the small one while you grind herbs for poulices (the set is sturdy enough that I can trust him with it!). The inside of the bowls are textured so it actually grabs the herbs your grinding unlike alot of the stone set which I've had problems with. The only potential downside is that the largest mortar and pestle aren't huge like some of the other sets so read the measurements before you order to make sure they'll worke well for your purposes. | 45 stars

Service needs improvement
We purchased a set of dinnerware made by Mikasa. The set was very beautiful. And the delivery was very prompt. Unfortunately the outer box was so big that middle box which carried the Mikasa box was moving about so much that by the time the package arrived at our house a teacup and a soup bowl had been broken into many pieces.We emailed you right away to let you know about the damage but we have not heard from you. We think that it is not fair that we have to pay the full price for an incomplete set of dishes. We would like to receive the rest of the set because we do not think that anyone would like to pay $100 for an incomplete set of dishes no matter how beautiful they are.John Lam. | 45 stars

Wonderful Orthopedic Pillow
These orthopedic pillows are the best in supporting the two herniated discs in my neck. I used to get a lot of pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulders. Once I discovered these pillows, those problems became a thing of the past. Love the smaller travel size, rather than the standard size pillow; you just don't need a longer pillow. Highly recommend these pillows. Also the vendor is excellent as well; quick delivery, great price, and appropriate shipping package so they do not get crushed. | 45 stars

OK
Agree with pours to fast. you must take it easy when pouring or alot will come out. Disagree with hard to fill. They could not be easier to fill the top comes right off unlike others that must be filled from the bottom. Very stylish and I like having a top to put over them when they are in the cupboard. This insures that no moisture or dust can get into the salt and pepper. For the price its not a bad deal. | 34 stars

Nice and soft
Sheets are the perfect chocolate color that I wanted. I've already washed them twice with no problems. They are a little wrinkly when they first come out of the dryer, but I've had that happen to every 600 count set I've used -- it doesn't bother me. They straighten out after being on the bed for a few days.The only issue I've had was the sheet depth (which I knew would be a tight fit to begin with). I have a king bed with a 20 inch deep mattress and while the fitted sheet will *just* fit, one corner will start to come off every so often.Otherwise, a good deal. I'd buy more. | 34 stars

Little Zoji
Pay money for a rice cooker? Who can't cook rice? HA! If you eat rice more than once a week OR if you are just accustomed to having things done right, then this is the deal for you. This is a WONDERFUL machine. It is just great- the timer function is fabulous (imagine, fresh hot oatmeal waiting for you in the morning OR having your rice piping hot, steamed to perfection at mealtime!) and its range of "cookables" makes it more than a "solo-tasker."White Botan rice, short grain brown, long grain brown and standard rice have all cooked great. I did take liberties and added a smidge more water than called for whenever I cooked a rice with a heavier coat. Having the rice sit in the water (as it does when Timer is being used) also seems to help. I have not tried it for wild rice yet, but we do eat rice about 4-6 x a week and this has certainly been a timesaver.The product cleans up easily, although it took me a coouple weeks before I realized the metal steam-lid can be removed from the plastic top lid. That done, ALL parts can be cleaned. Don't forget to empty the "dew cup" on the back- this collects condensation that runs down the lid when you open the machine. How tidy!All in all, I cannot believe how long I waited to buy a rice cooker, but I am glad I did as this is one handy kitchen tool. Future designs should include a removeable storage lid for the cooking pot so you can store the rice, in its pot, in the fridge. I mean, it has a reheat mode- so why not? | 45 stars

Love this pot!
Like most other reviewers, I absolutetly love this small oval french oven pot. It is my third Le Creuset piece, the other two are large round french ovens and all are loved and used often.Le Creuset is a high quality line and their enamel over iron is a breeze to clean up even after oven use or after hours of simmering a stew.These pots heat up fast and hold their temperature evenly even when simmering over low temperatures. Their weight is an issue if loaded and you have some arthritis in which case, plan ahead! Get a volunteer to lift the loaded pot or help with the cleaning. Don't let their weight be a negative; this is a plus with using the iron pieces. These pots are wonderful and are really prized by all cooks!This new 2-3/4 qt oval is a great "try me" size at a reasonable price. It is a great investment and will introduce you to the great Le Creuset line. Enjoy! | 45 stars

Great Cooker, Only Issue is the Screws Rusting
This is a great addition to my kitchen. It works great and easy to operate also saves so much time cooking the same meal. I first purchased 16-qt cooker/canner then purchased this one and a 6-qt also. Now I use all 3 cookers for everything. I am very happy about "stainless steel" because I can use dishwasher without worrying about discoloration (they only make 16-qt cooker in aluminum so I have to hand wash it). This is a well-made, top of the line product for such a great price. Only issue that I have is occasionally I have to exchange the screws (holding the handles on the lid) since they rust after a while. Other than that, I am very satisfied with this purchase and strongly recommend to others. | 34 stars

Very nice
Bought a year ago. It's always nice when you can find super great looking china at a price like this. I wouldn't feel bad about using these everyday if I wanted to. They are sturdy, awesome looking, food presentation is greatly enhanced by these, and they're dishwasher safe! Buy these. | 34 stars

amazing!
The way Lois Lowry wrote this book is great. It is pretty confusing at first, but it clears up. It is weard how they think of our world and we think of theirs. This book should be a must for readers. | 34 stars

Chef's Choice
I read reviews on all of Chef's Choice Food Slicers before I selected this model. I am very pleased with it. I have had other smaller slicers and did not use them very often because of difficulty in getting them as clean as I think they should be. The blade is easy to remove and it is easy to clean behind it. I keep this slicer where it is easy to get to and use it often. My husbank even uses it.Chef's Choice 632 International Gourmet VariTilt Electric Food Slicer | 45 stars

not 18 inches
Don't be fooled by the description. These pillow inserts were suggested to go along with an 18 inch pillow cover--don't delude yourself--they are 15 inches--or as some critques say 16 inches--a stretch. Very poor advertising--literally a "sham". A waste of your money--don't buy them if you want an 18 inch pillow insert. Will never buy from this company again. | 01 star

Piece of nice looking expensive junk
After about six months our toaster started to emit an electrical smell which was later followed by electrical smoke. The toaster soon ended up in the garbage which is where my money went. No more Cuisinart for me. | 01 star

Attractive and good for small areas.
Very pleased with this purchase. I was hesitant, at first, but was impressed with this small appliance . My only gripe is lack of even toasting on large pieces of toast and that's why I give it a 4 star review. Quick toaster, easy to use and nice looking. Works well in tight spaces. | 34 stars

review
This is my second toddler aero bed. I used the first one until it started leaking the second time. It was well used. A friend borrowed it for not the first time. I said if you can patch it you can have it. I then ordered a second one for me. My oldest grandson is 11 1/2 and had used it for years. Now my last grandson who is 2 1/2 uses it when he sleeps over. It is a nice size, I love the rounded edges to give the comfort feel to a young child. I also have other aero beds that get a lot of uses between my house and my daughters next door. | 45 stars

Really nice tongs.
Finish is great, the locking mechanism works well, comfortable rubber grips, convenient hang loop. | 45 stars

Good hanging organizer
This product works as advertised and expected. Easy to put together and hang in the closet. Great for holding sweaters, shorts, t-shirts, etc. Excellent customer service from Stacks and Stacks: I ordered two. One arrived without the required hooks. I called the vendor right away and received the hooks a few days later. | 45 stars

Eloquent and enjoyable.
What an incredibly well organized book! Every thought about how the futuristic society exists and operates has been meticulously figured out and recorded by the author, Lois Lowry. There is not a word out of place in this novel. When younger, I often got this book mixed up with the similarly titled, "The Cay". An unfortunate mix-up when you consider that Theodore Taylor's "The Cay" is regarded by many to be a badly written pompous book. This book, however, is lovely. An easy read, it sets up all its ideas perfectly before knocking them down. The reader is placed in a position not too different from that of Jonas, the protagonist. What Jonas learns to feel about his community, we readers learn to feel the same things at the same time. Lowry is especially skilled at the slow reveal. We do not know that the citizens of this world do not distinguish height or sunlight or snow or color until Jonas learns about each of these things in turn. And the book is especially interesting when you consider that there aren't any villains beyond the system itself. This is a laudable book and a good didactic (without being preachy) tale. This would pair well with other dystopian futures, such as "A Wrinkle In Time" (remember the world where "It" lives and the children must bounce the ball all the same way?).I disagree with those readers who feel this book is inappropriate for younger readers. While the open ended ending will probably disappoint or anger some, kids will enjoy the writing for what it is. Eloquent and enjoyable. | 45 stars

Looks great, not that comfortable
First, I would buy the product again. That said, I'm hoping the stool becomes more comfortable over time as the cushions wear in. Right now, they are not very comfortable. The cushions are very stiff, and it almost feels like your going to fall forward when sitting in the stool (and that is before drinking).I read some reports complaining on the difficulity to assemble. That is very surprising to me. I found them very easy to assemble - from box to stool in 15-30 minutesThe stools look great sitting against my cherry bar. | 34 stars

Luscious scents!
I have never been passionate about a candle before. But for over 10 years I have been chasing Trapp candles down and buying as many as I can when I find them. How delighted I was to see that Amazon has been making them readily available. The richness and purity of the scents is par none. The finest rich parfum goes into every Trapp votive, and once you revel in their scent, you will know the quality of their workmanship. They use lead-free wicks and a blend of fully refined paraffin and soy wax for an optimal burn time of 20 hours for votives and up to 50 hours for their large poured candles.The scent is also long-lasting. I have kept unburned candle (No. 4 Orange-Vanilla) next to my bedside for over a year and it still sends me off to blissful dreams with its warm summery scent (think creamsicles and sunshine). Every room has it's own scent. I love the Sweet Honeysuckle (No. 33) in the kitchen... a crisp, clean, sweet scent, without being overly floral or the luscious No. 12 Guava Mango. And for gathering areas, I recommend the No. 14 Mediterranean Fig: warm, plush, and intriguing.But don't stop there. Trapp offers about 30 different scents that you'll soon want to make your own. | 45 stars

For once, a high-tech wine opener that really works!
I got one of these as a Christmas gift and have been amazed at how well and how easily it works -- especially for someone with arthritic hands. It pulls the cork for you, then unscrews it and drops it on the counter. I've been so impressed with the Oster 4207 that I've been ordering them as gifts for my friends. This is the 4th one I've bought. Oster claims the new model is even better, but I can't imagine what they've improved upon. | 34 stars

Glad I chose this alarm clock!
This Sony CD player/alarm clock seems to be a great product so far. I got it for my 7 year old daughter and she has had no trouble operating the unit (I set the alarm for her). Again, the main drawback is the lack of battery back up but other than that I love it. I don't mind that the tuner is analog since digital tuners may skip over low signal stations. I love the Sony quality sound in such a multi purpose application! My main problem now is listening to her single Disney CD over and over and over.... I guess I will have to do more shopping!! | 34 stars

Wonderful
Fantastic quality for the price. Wonderfuly soft, and the down stuffing makes a great insulator. The only downfall is that it's dry clean only. | 34 stars

Log rack
This is a good product, simple, effective and economical. I have it on my deck, but I plan to buy more for my bulk wood storage. I would like to see the company offer a third piece because I keep two different types of firewood on my rack and I would use the third section as a divider. | 45 stars

worked fine until metal poked through at the bottom...
it folds quick and it's fun for the kids to use and play in. though after 1.5 yr of use/abuse, the metal spring/support came through the bottom of the basket (the stitching couldn't hold it in any more). otherwise, zipper works great and handles are handy. nice size. | 23 stars

Holmes Heater
Great little heater that does keep you quite toasty in a small room. The only thing I don't like about it is when it reaches a particular temperature it automatically shuts off. This is not really a bad thing but when it cuts off I am still cold so you must have to turn the heat up all the way. | 34 stars

Love this pressure cooker
This has revolutionized dinner time. Several of the recipes in the accompanying cookbook were smash hits at our house. Wish I had gotten one sooner, I was always afraid the one my mom had when I was growing up would explode. | 45 stars

Tiny, yet still very accurate
I use this as a food scale, and its small size and light weight makes it perfect for traveling. It is also very accurate, and measures a sizable quantity of product in both grams and ounces. It's at a very reasonable price, too. Overall I consider it an excellent buy, and will purchase another one should the one I have ever quit working. | 45 stars

Pine clothes drying rack
Craftmanship and quality excellent. Purchased through Amazon and saved over $100 compared to one seen in another catalogue. Came unfinished and we spray-painted it ourselves. This was worth the cost savings. I would highly recommend this item if you have limited laundry space. Works excellent and we are most satisfied. | 45 stars

Table Mate
Okay I liked it! For $20 how can I go wrong? It works fine and is perfect for what we wanted it to do, for mom's laptop at the sofa or chair. It even has a drink holder! COOL! Easy to set up and put away. Cant ask for more. Like it would recommend it and tell others where to get it. | 45 stars

Theatre wardrobe storage
These racks are perfect for all of the heavy coats and tons of pants, dresses and shirts our community theatre has accumulated! We purchased racks at WalMart and Target, but they were not nearly as sturdy as these hanging racks! Don't waste your money on mediocre racks that fall apart after you hang way more stuff than the cheap racks can hold! These racks got rid of our frustration and keep the stuff hanging up instead of on the floor! | 45 stars

so simple, so useful....
I've been impressed with the value of Taylor thermometers for a few years now. I use this one in soap making, where I have to measure oil and lyewater to the point where they are about the same temperature. The clip for the side of the pot is very useful, and I appreciate that in this model there is both fahrenheit and centigrade scales. Most of all, the price is right! | 45 stars

Hunk of Junk
Absolute junk! My husband got this for Christmas and by the end of May it was broken. It has rusted at the bottom of the base where the gears are. Smells like it is burning up when we use it. I was never all that impressed with it to start with. Now it is just another hunk of junk for the land fills. Too bad we did not just keep our old hand-me-down blender that was about 30 years old. (An Oster which just needed rubber seals replace.) | 01 star
