Would not recommend
I agree with one of the previous reviews that looks can be deceptive as far as this kettle is concerned. Very poor quality. This pot basically disintegrated over the period of 6 months. First, the plastic power on button broke, steam started to escape through that opening so the foil on the handle and then on the lid peeled off. Capresso customer service sent me a replacement that went down exactly the same road. Would not recommend this product. | 0negative

Good while it lasted
I will start this off by saying I am in no way a coffee afficianado or snob. I enjoy one or two cups of regular old pre-ground Folgers or Dunkin Donuts coffee with some generic Walgreens french vanilla creamer in the morning. I dont own a coffee grinder or french press and most of my coffee mugs are standard 8-12oz white ceramic with lots of chips. I received this coffee maker as a gift a little over 2 years ago. It was one of the best coffee makers I've ever owned. I really liked the fact that there was an internal carafe and I didn't have to pour the coffee. The internal warming plate also ensured my coffee never had the burnt flavor even after sitting warm for 4 hours. I always used a paper filter inside of the gold tone filter because the grounds always slipped through and cleaning without the paper filter was a mess. The problem I had with this device was the same as a lot of the other reviews, the dispensing flapper. One morning I went for a second cup and noticed the coffee maker was surrounded by a moat of coffee. Upon further inspection I saw that every time I pressed the button to open the valve to dispense the coffee, the plug didn't seal properly thus releasing a tiny, but steady, stream of coffee. When I contacted Hamilton Beach they didn't have any problem with the fact that I'd received it as a gift because they had a standard procedure for when this happened. You had to fill out a form and then (at your own expense) ship the holding tank back to them along with enough money to pay for a new tank and shipping back to yourself. I won't say exactly how much it would've ended up costing me but I can tell you it was more than the total price of the Cuisinart DCC-1200 I bought to replace it. Overall it produced a good cup of coffee but I like drinking said coffee from a mug and not from my kitchen counter top. This device will make me reconsider all of my future Hamilton Beach purchases. | 0negative

Cutlery Comments
Overall the product I received is the best ever. The knifes are very sharp and easy to use.The one negative comment I have is that I received my product with the carving knife missing and I have on numerous occasion contacted the company to send the missing product but have not heard or been contacted regarding the piece missing. I think to have a great product like this and not be customer friendly is not a good practice for the company. I am still awaiting my missing product. | 1positive

Sizes are not accurate
I placed an order for a shag rug, however the sizes on the amazon site are not consistent with the company's sizes. I received my rug in the mail disappointed because it was a lot smaller than what i had ordered. | 0negative

Too small, in a number of ways.
If this is as big a cooker as will fit in your microwave, I suppose that's fair enough...never mind, I still wouldn't recommend it.It's too small in diameter for any actual uncooked bacon in, unless you want to cut it in half and end up with miniature cooked bacon.Its grease reservoir...wait a minute, what grease reservoir? My microwave was inundated with grease overflow from this (as others have pointed out) incredibly hard to clean contraption.Back to using the plate/paper towel method for me. Into the garbage with this monument to inadequacy. Good riddance to bad rubbish. | 0negative

Nothing like the original
I have a substantial set of Desert Rose made in California that I inherited from a family member. My original set is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is amazing. Each piece has wonderful details in both the texture of the ceramic and the hand painting.My original sugar bowl was broken and I bought this one to replace it. I wish I hadn't. This piece is made in China and is NOTHING like the original. The sugar bowl is bulbous and lacks the contours around the rim the original has. The "rose" on top is simply a blob. The painting lacks any kind of detail found in the original. When placed side by side to the original they don't even look like they are part of the same set. Save yourself the disappointment and look for an original replacement piece with a USA backstamp. | 0negative

Decent Iced Tea Maker
While it's true that this tea maker is slow, it's no slower than your average percolator, nor is it any noiser. The parts - the filter basket, the filter basket holder and the lid of the carafe - are easily cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher, and the carafe goes in the bottom of the dishwasher. No problem. It's true the interior is hard to clean by hand, so you just have to do the same as you would with any coffee maker by running a cleaner or vinegar & water through a brew cycle. (We don't have the directions for this one so that's what we do. It works fine.) It makes great tea and is easy to use. Also, we like it because it's not so large. Recently, we've been looking around for one to give as a gift, but mostly all other tea makers we've seen have a 3 liter carafe. This one is only 2 liters and fits well in the fridge. | 1positive

Just why does it burn out??
I've loved my little hotplate for 3 months, but it died. Froze the temp control at the time of death. Up until then I was very happy except for trying to boil large pots... never got there, and on frozen stirfry it has a hard time coming back after you add the frozen veggies... but ALL of the reviews are accurate, the high ratings just haven't used it enough times for it to burn out.. looks like anywhere from 50 to 100 uses, depending on how often you turn it all the way up. Highly recommended for a temporary use while on vacation or broken stove... now to try to get some warranty help! | 0negative

Cheap Junk!
The first time I tried to use this press it broke. I uploaded a picture of my broken tortilla press for everyone to see. The area that broke is less than 1/8" and is lacking in reinforcement. This Tortilla Press is a total waste of money. | 0negative

Flimsy
I kept it because it was not worth the money to return it but it is rather flimsy. The back end flops down when the wrap containers are placed inside. I could duct tape the back part to the underside of the cabinet, but I'm not going to bother. When this falls apart I'll just trash it. | 0negative

so sweet!
This is the sweetest artwork I have found. And its a great price with the frame. I think this piece is going to be great too as our little one gets older because of the classic nursery rhyme feel. | 1positive

Didn't work great and broke around 1 yr. old
This vacuum worked ok except the whole handle always seemed loose from day one and moved around a lot. I was looking for something that would do all of my floors (hardwoods, linoleum, tile, carpet) and area rugs, as well as my drapes and furniture. I have 2 cats and a dog and there is hair everywhere. At first, it worked well for everything except our nice thick area rugs and the carpet. It really bogged down on them. Over time perhaps it coundn't handle the stress of pushing and pulling it over the rugs and carpet. A little less than a year after we bought it, something in the handle shorted out and the controls wouldn't work anymore. A service repair estimate at a local shop recommended a whole new hose and handle for around $170. No thanks Hoover. I'm switching brands. However, I will likely keep this one because it still works well without the big bottom roller vacuum part attached. It will still do the furniture and drapes and cobwebs ok, but I just had to buy a separate upright for the carpets and rugs. I think trying to find one machine that is good at all of the the cleaning I wanted to do was perhaps just asking too much. | 0negative

BUYER BEWARE!
I Bought The 1200-2 Pet Spot Bot..After A 60 Mile Journey..I Hooked The Unit Up..NO Spray..It Would Not Inject The Cleaner Either Through The AUTO Process Or The 4 Ft Hose..Thinking I Bought A "Bad" Unit..I Carry It Back To Target, Get A "NEW" Unit!! Another 60 Mile Round Trip & Guess What!? The EXACT Same Problem..NO Spray!! I Call 1-800 (Philipine's) Tech Support Could Not Walk Me Through The "Fix"..Suggested I Carry It To A Service Center 30 Miles Accross Town..I Thanked Them For Their Time & Promptly Carried It Back To Target For A Full Refund!! NO More Bissel For Me..Bought The Dirt Devil For Less Money..Must Be A Bad "Batch" In The Stores Now! Good LUCK! | 0negative

Perfect!
Got this for my elderly grandmother who wanted something to keep in her purse for showing off photos of her great-grand kids. This was perfect. The red is a true red, not too bright or too dark. She loves it. | 1positive

Works poorly.
I bought this to use with an axe that I dulled chopping roots.There are a number of problems with this product. Firstly, it's too lightweight, so it doesn't feel very stable. Secondly, the opening for the axe blade is too narrow, I imagine a lot of axes simply wouldn't fit. And thirdly, it doesn't seem to do much. There is no feeling of positive contact between the abrasive and the edge of the axe. It just seems to roll back and forth without sharpening anything.Perhaps it would be OK for touching up a blade that is already sharpened, but for my dull axe, it isn't helping. | 0negative

Great weather radio
This weather radio is great. The best part is that I can program the unit to only ALERT for my county. I live in Florida, and we have allot of weather alerts this time of year, and it's nice to ONLY hear the ones that are for my county. The unit is well made and easy to program. It is also a clock radio with AM/FM. I do wish that the back light would stay on all the time, but Oh-Well... | 1positive

Kitchenaid ought to be ashamed! Negative 10 stars!
Length:: 0:37 MinsHiI uploaded a video because when it comes to the terrible quality of this awful Kitchenaid Cookware, words alone do not tell the story! The red finish was ruined the first time I ran the pans through the dishwasher and only got worse over time. When I dry them by hand, red and black paint wipes right off on my dish towels! In addition, the pans are warped, the non-stick coating flakes off and, in fact, was never very "non-stick" to start with. Plus the pans are a weird size--skinny diameter, but deep, which makes them somewhat difficult to work with. They fit awkwardly on my burners.I mistakenly thought Kitchenaid was a quality brand, but my eyes have really been opened! They've obviously used the solid reputation of their stand mixer as an opportunity to flood the market with a whole host of inferior products. I used to have a full set of red Kitchenaid spatulas and other hand tools, but have discarded most of them because of the bad quality. I am also unimpressed by their hand mixer--had to exchange it twice because the "chrome" trim (really just mylar tape) kept falling off.Seriously--don't waste your money on these awful pots & pans! | 0negative

Hasn't Worked So Far
I will update my review once I have tried cutting cucumbers or potato. That being said, I will write what I have learned so far: my mandolin hasn't been able to slice a single fruit or vegetable (have tried quite a few). The blade seems to be able to cut about a fourth way through and then gets stuck and the item I'm trying to cut just snaps or crumbles, and I end up wasting more time using the slicer than cutting it by hand - plus the slices by hand turn out more evenly.I'm not sure if the mandolin I received is defective; maybe the blade I got just wasn't sharp enough. It has literally failed to cut all the way through anything, been more trouble than it's worth. | 0negative

Easy to use
This grinder is easy to use and the flaps on the sides make for a quick refill of your favorite sea salts and peppers. I haven't used it enough to see how long it lasts - being that it is all plastic, I am not sure how durable it truly is, but so far I'm happy with this product. | 1positive

espresso maker
My 10+ year old DeLonghi espresso maker developed a leak so I thought I'd give this one a try. I didn't want to spend hundreds and liked the looks. The feature I didn't like most was part that holds the metal basket of coffee into the machine was made of plastic. After using it about 5 times, the plastic showed wear. I returned this coffee maker. | 0negative

EDIT: Broke in two days.
EDIT: Two days in, it has stopped working. It makes a lot of noise, lets go a little bit of water, then turns itself off. Really, really disappointed.I got one of these at Target yesterday. I work as a barista and I can't afford the coffee at work (go figure) and I was tired of my hot-water-spitting, everything-spilling old four-cup coffeemaker at home. Plus, my roommate doesn't drink coffee, and I only drink about a cup a day (though I need it for living and breathing and whatnot).I brewed water through it once into my favorite mug to give it a rinse through. The second time, I decided to make tea. I filled up the mug about three quarters of the way and then poured it into the water-holding bit (technical terms!) Of course, a mug is not an ideal pouring mechanism, so water got everywhere. I wish there was a way to close the filter area so that water doesn't fall right out if you miss the water-holding area. Other than that, though, it made a fast and delicious cup of tea. Much better than turning on my gas stove and waiting five minutes or more for water to boil in my kettle, and the microwave never makes a decent cup of tea. Success!This morning, I tried the coffee thing. I put in two and a half tablespoons of grounds, like it recommended, and then used a measuring cup to put in about a cup of water. The cup had a spout bit, so it went better this time. And it made a decent cup of coffee! It brewed quickly, and I liked that there was enough room to pour some sugar and milk in the cup while it was brewing.The only issue I had was that I couldn't clean the unit as soon as the coffee was done brewing. It made some explode-y noises and steam came out of every orifice, so I was afraid to touch it. I'm the sort who likes to clean things the minute I'm done using them, so that irked me. Plus, tiny explosions.I haven't tried to use this with milk yet, to make hot chocolate, but altogether, this is my new favorite way to brew coffee and make tea. I was able to rinse it out with water and set it upside-down to dry out really quickly and easily.If you want a cheap way to satisfy a single-coffee-drinker household, this might be the way to go! | 0negative

Water seeps into the base and rusts connections, causing it to fail
Water gets into the base and rusts wires inside, which break off. I repaired it once and it happened again. The second time I gave up trying to repair. I did notice that there are holes in the base. Drain holes? If they had built the screw-on base with a rubber gasket there would be no water problem and hence no need to drain.I you do buy this product, be careful about drying it upside down, which would allow water to enter the base. But since it only lasted 18 months, or so, I think I will look elsewhere for a replacement. | 0negative

The worst iron I've ever used!
I was really excited about this iron. I have read several reviews online (some good some bad) and after using it myself this only leads me to believe that the glowing reviews were probably written by the manufacturer themself!I iron regularly, so the features they boast are attractive, but unfortunately, it fails to perform the most basic functions.Overall, the iron is big and awkward. Despite it's size, it has a smaller water reservoir than my Rowenta, so I have to fill it more frequently.If you stop to repostion the garment, the "lifters" come out and leaves dimples in the fabric. I have to then re-iron that portion of the garment to remove the lifter footprints!They claim it has powerful steam, but again, my Rowenta works a lot better and more reliably. The steam trickles out and is often accompanied by droplets of water. Even worse, the iron occasionally spits out bits of white particles while pushing the steam burst button.I bought this as a replacement for my Rowenta, but upon second thought, I will happily go back to using it. My Rowenta iron doesn't have the fancy lifters, but those are more trouble than they're worth. | 0negative

Small & Bends
I thought this would be a little bigger, but its a mini kindo-of.I used it once and when I pushed down the handle bent off. Too hard to get dough or fondant out of it and now I have order it again because I need a horizontal cutter. I would not recommend this cutter if you are going to use it alot.Its way too small and actually every FoxRun cutter I have, I have problems with. I threw them all out as they bend up and are poorly made | 0negative

Reliable
Have had this Polder Original Timer/Thermometer for 2 years now, and still haven't had to replace the battery. I don't think that's going to be much of an issue. The way to make it better would be to make it more of an "instant read" thermometer. It takes about 10 seconds to get the reading. Maybe I'm just impatient, and too cheap to spend the extra money for a Thermapen.I purchased the extra probe to have a spare, and qualify for free shipping, but haven't needed it yet. | 1positive

Good and Bad
This product stays in place while in use, which is the good part. Dough still sticks to it, but the worst part is clean up. It's impossible to clean in the sink and impossible to dry. Towel fibers stick to the surface and clothing fibers and hair and other things you would not expect. Perhaps the best method is to wipe it down with a wet cloth while still on the counter top and leave it there to air dry. | 0negative

Just not worth it.
I paid about a hundren bucks for a beautiful kettle that was suposed to last for years. Two months later the lid became unglued. It took forever to get a replacement part as I was shuffled from person to person. Chantal would not replace it I had to go through the store. Fine. It was replaced. I was once again happy with my cute little kettle. A year later the enamel coating inside the teakettle has all but completely flaked off. I take excellend care of the kettle. Really it was a splurge for me and what a dissapointment it turned out to be.I'm now afraid of I've injested a toxic lining. At any rate Chantal has never replied to my request to find out what compound I subjected my family to. It's just scary and they've been no help at all.Do yourself a favor and by a cheaper safer version even if it doesn't look as pretty. | 0negative

Mistake per company by Amazon
This states "PACK of 20" my husband ordered these. What arrived is a large box and ONE hook. I called Ozbo the company and they said Amazon posted it wrong. Ozbo said they would refund the 5 bucks and change to ship ONE hook! Had I been in a store and a wrong price was posted, I would have gotten the item for the price listed! So needing a pack of hooks and only getting ONE won't help. Guess I will buy hardware from now on at the actual store!!! | 1positive

Shoipfox W1746 Arrived with Damaged Filter
I received my Shopfox W1746 Fine Air Filter, opened the front cover to inspect inside the unit and found a hole punched through the filter. The hole had been made by a feature on the inside of Main Panel. This feature consists two long plastic screw bosses connected by rigid plastic webbing, which has no apparent function other than to punch a hole in a perfecly good and not inexpensive filter. Consider a different air cleaner. | 0negative

Excellent -- keeps hot liquid steaming hot for several hours
This keeps my steaming coffee hot for hours. The cap is easy to get on and off and the button works fine. My only minor problem with it is that when I'm pouring out the very last drop, the coffee comes out where the lid screws in rather than from the spout. This is a very minor complaint about an excellent product! | 1positive

Tocca Candle 007 - Bad quality!
First of all, I would like to say that I really enjoyed the smell of the 007. It's lingering around the room, it can be a little heavy from time to time and make you feel drunk, because it has something like rum in it, but I generally like it.I must have made, though, the worst choice buying a Tocca candle. I have not read any reviews concerning how the Tocca candles burn, but this is the worst burning candle I have ever owned! The wick burns down very quickly and the wax doesn't have time to melt, so it creates a crater and after a while it burns out! I had to dig first to bring some more wick to surface - only worked for a couple of minutes! Then I had to melt the candle completely and remove a lot of wax (about 1/4 of the whole amount) and throw it away, so that the ratio wick:wax would be bigger. Complete disappointment!For such an expensive candle ($36) I would expect so much more. It's ridiculous that I had to waste almost one hour to make it work and throw away such a large amount of wax - economically speaking, this is $9 thrown to garbage!!!So, to come to a conclusion, I would never buy a Tocca candle again and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Choose something else instead! | 0negative

I bought this grill so we can do korean bbq inside. There was little to no smoke at all. When the food is put on the grill, you will see a little smoke coming from the grill while it cooks the meat.

Do not purchase this item
I purchased this iron due to its low price and the fact that it was a Black and Decker. I was dissatisfied with it after only one use -- it did not get hot enough, it did not glide smoothly over the clothes, and the 'resting plate' got extremely hot, which concerned me from a safety perspective. The iron does look attractive, but that hardly matters. Even though this particular model is not good, the 'Digital Advantage' model has received very good ratings and I plan to go this afternoon to purchase it. This model not withstanding, Black and Decker still makes the best irons. | 0negative

Good Conveinence, need more variety
The Tassimo coffee system is a very convenient appliance. The coffee is good and it brews very quickly. The availability of coffee should be expanded to supermarkets and the variety of available products should be expanded. Currently, the coffee is only available in home furnishing stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, or by mail order. | 1positive

Can't make Wheat
At first I thought I was doing something wrong, or maybe my yeast was bad. Nope. I ditched the bread machine and made it by hand using the same yeast and same recipes and put it in the oven and the bread comes out perfect. I followed the recipes in the book that it came with perfectly. It made some basic white bread recipes ok, but cannot make wheat worth a darn. The paddle does not reach the corners. The loaves come out hard and crusty on the outside (I've also played with different crust settings), and mushy on the inside. I cannot experiment anymore and waste anymore ingredients. | 0negative

Go with the square
I have used several round dehydrators including this one. I do A LOT of dehydrating and was looking for something bigger. I was also tired of food dropping down and messing up the motor/fan. I read about the Sahara dehydrator on a forum and tried it. I'll never go back to a small round dehydrator. It has adjustable heat and a timer which has made my life a lot easier. It's not that much more money either. I'd recommend it or another square machine with the fan in the back (not the bottom). | 0negative

DO NOT BUY!!
These are the worst quality sheets I have ever encountered in 30 years of sheet buying! Not only are they simply of poor quality -- poorly made, flimsy, shoddy, unplesant to the touch -- the sheets I received were sewn together incorrectly so that the seams of the pillowcases were set at a diagonal! Not only were the pillowcases bizarrely narrow for any standard pillow width, but because of this odd spiral skew on the seam, they were unfoldable and unsightly when you forced the pillow into them (the seam always showing in front where flat section of fabric is on normal pillowcases). I bought my set on sale from something ridiculous like $100 down to $20. They are not worth $5. The advertisement about the comfort of Jersey-knit is an absolute joke in this case -- this type of sheet is usually extremely comfortable, with a dense knit that makes the fabric soft to the touch. These sheets are so skimpy in terms of material that they're almost like mesh -- not something you'd necessarily want close to your skin! | 0negative

Just doesn't cut it
I'm in law school and have very thick books and this cheap stand just doesn't cut the mustard. Too in convient to take notes on or from and it doesn't adjust very well. And you have to pick up and remove the books to turn the pages. As a cookbook stand it probably wprks great but when your trying to read 50 pages this thing is just too much trouble. If you're in school don't cheap out spend the money on a quality book stand | 0negative

Less Than Nil...
This vaccum cleaner does not hold up to even one star. Shark International ought to be ashamed- as well as forced to withdraw this product from market as the fire hazard and all-around general nuisance that it most assuredly has shown itself to be. Please, do not allow yourself to be swayed by a cute design. Do not listen to a smooth sales pitch about the reputation of the manufacturer. Do not fall victim to a low sales price. No design, no reputation, no amount of price reduction can ever make up for the heartache owning this product will create.Yes, admittedly, it is many of those positive things that have already been said by other reviewers. It most certainly is cute and light weight, but let me tell you, you really are not thinking too much about how good it looks or how little it weighs while the motor is overheating, pouring out its foul electrical smoke, and causing the rubber belts to literally melt right off the roller/beater bar (which, in itself, adds an interesting odor to air you are breathing in your home). Yes, it is quiet, at least it is before that motor begins its dance with danger, then it begins to make a hard-to-describe noise, but one you just know spells "B-A-D" with each revolution of its spindly little motor. Yes, it has a double light to help you see all the dirt, dirt you simply cannot pick up due to the fact that the vacuum stopped working safely during its FIRST DAY of operation. Yes, at first, the bags and the onboard attachments do seem convenient, but that is before the plastic on the parts begin to split and crack, which mine did on the very FIRST DAY of operation. And, of course, that's when you find out that the only place you are ever going to find replacements are online, so, since you are ordering anyway, be prepared to buy a lot of belts and bags too, and to spend much more money on them than they are worth.Yes, Shark has a Customer Service Department, but it sucks far more than this vacuum cleaner ever did- when it ever did, which, again, I cannot say often enough, ended the FIRST DAY that I tried to use it. After all the bad stuff happens, the only option you will be left with is to pay an exorbitant shipping and insurance cost to send it off for repair by a group of people who have already done everything they can to talk you out of returning it in the first place. (Once you do call, you can tell that you are hardly the first person to have the same problems, as they have obviously rehearsed their entire spiel.) "Customer Service," to Shark simply means "Talk 'em out of whatever you can, then, if you cannot, make it so impossible for them to get any reasonable, affordable service that they just give up and go away.""Caveat Emptor"- the simple "Buyer Beware"- is not a strong enough warning to the potential buyers of the Shark UP704SH vacuum cleaner. "Fugio Emptor- Velox!"- "Buyer Run Away- Fast!"- is the far, far better, more appropriate phrase. | 0negative

Just as good as a Silpat
I have used silpats for years so I was hesitant to try the exopat but it works just as well for less money. These sheets are really wonderful for baking and I highly recommend them to any serious cookie creators/candy makers out there. A must have for the bakers/candy makers kitchen. | 1positive

Disappointing
Underpowered. This thing just does not perform. And now, after about a year of use, the cutting assembly is cracked. Replacement, with shipping, is about 1/3 the cost of a new blender. Here's more junk for the land fill!I replaced this blender with a Vita-Mix. It's expensive, but it's worth it! Fast, powerful, and easy to clean. | 0negative

Cute, loud & luke warm
I am looking for a small refrigerator for office and hope to find one that I can carry in and out of the office. After reviewing all the feedback, I purchased this little thing. I was not expecting this fridge to do much, just being able to keep the coffee creamer and maybe a couple cans of soda cool will do.My office temp. is kept at 70 degree F year round. The document said the fridge should get to 32 degrees lower. Unfortunately it only gets a little bit cold and it is very loud.Very cute, but it does not meet the stated performance. | 0negative

Buy this air purifier.
I wanted an air purifier to remove tobacco smoke, Cat litter box odor, and other normal household odors. I bought this unit and I am 100% satisfied with it.Set up is easy. You wrap a pre-filter around the existing filter, plug it in and turn it on. That's it.There are three settings of power, 1/2/3. 1 is very quiet - like a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, 2 is a little loud - like a computer when the fan kicks on, and 3 is very loud - like a window air conditioner unit.When I first set it up I blew tobacco smoke directly into it and no smoke or odor came out. In a few minuets all the smoke odor in the room was gone and when I came home after running errands for an hour or so I was shocked by how every bad smell, usually in my house, was now gone.There is only one problem with this unit that I can find. If you leave it on too long, such as a full 12 hours or more, the room it is in begins to smell like a hospital. That's the best I can describe the smell unless you have smelled the filter that comes with it. The smell of the filter is what the room smells like after prolonged use.If you are looking for a quiet, simple and great air purifier that doesn't cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars, like most do, this should be top on your list. | 1positive

BODUM Air - Thanks but no thanks
I initially came across double walled glasses in a Bodum store in Scandinavia perhaps 5 years ago. They looked great and felt very delicate and nice when I had the opportunity to try them out with some hot coffee at a friends place.Now years later I decided to buy the 3 oz and the 13.5 oz versions from Amazon.Like other people have noted, the design is not the same as it used to be. For some reason a silicone plug and some less-than-pretty text have been added to the bottom of the glass. It is of course understandable that products are changed over time, but what is bad in this particular case is that the silicone plug and text does not show on the front side of the product box. There is however a photo and text on the side of the box saying "BODUM(R) Air - Double wall glasses that breathe". Unfortunately this side is not included in the product description on Amazon.I regret buying these. In the future I will refrain from buying any Bodum branded goods online and I will be more careful buying anything design sensitive from Amazon. | 0negative

Save your money - pick another product
My husband bought me this wine refrigerator for Christmas in 2006. We set it up easily and began using it. The temperature setting was easy to adjust and it was a nice size for our needs. It looked nice too. Unfortunately, after about 18 months (after the warranty expired) the product stopped cooling. I went to open a bottle of wine one evening and found it to be warm. I emailed Wine Enthusiast asking about service or replacement parts, they never responded to my request. We are currently researching a replacement - it won't be from Wine Enthusiast. | 0negative

Had to return; did not work
My sister-in-law wanted one of these for some time. She cooks a lot and wanted to find something that would chop onions safely. She was thrilled to receive it but had to return it because she said it just did not chop onions properly. | 0negative

not so good
Handle fell off after a week 1/2 - 2 weeks. so true u get what u pay for, i don't blame them, there's only so much u can do for 4.95 and thats what amazon sells it for, so for the mfg its cheaper. | 0negative

Better than I expected
This is the first time I have used a food processor other than my juicer. I figured it would take a long time to chop and be difficult to clean. Wow, if you hold the button down for more than a few seconds you will end up with onion soup! I found this out the hard way. It is really amazing and fast. Plus I wiped out the food and put the top pieces in the dishwasher. Super easy. Really the only work is cutting your food down to be small enough to fit inside. I highly recommend. | 1positive

Poorly designed & quality
I bought this weather center about 6 weeks ago. It is a cheap junky product. Every time we touch it we inadvertanly touch one of the poorly placed set buttons(exposed on the side of the unit) and the display changes and the outdoor temp goes away. I'm really sorry we wasted our money on this junk! | 0negative

Cute...but I really don't care about that
Looks great sitting on the counter, but not a very good product. I was looking for an infuser that would let only a few tea leaves through or none at all. This one let in alot. Not what I was looking for.Bodum Yo Yo Tea Infuser With Lid, Stainless Steelis much better. It does let through a few leaves, but not as bad. I hate having a whole bunch of leaves at the bottom. | 0negative

Farberware stopped working
Loved farberware for many years but this is the second coffee pot I have purchased in the last year. I bought the 10 cup and it just recently stopped working properly. It only perks half way through the coffee making process. I am very disapointed to say the least and now out of my return timeframe as I bought it in March 2012. | 0negative

Do NOT buy these pans
I have been meaning to write a review ever since I purchased these pans over a year ago, but keep forgetting. However, while making Jumbalaya tonight, I burned myself, once again, while trying to move the stupid thing. This has reminded me that I need to finally write a review on this set. On top of this, the bottoms of the pans get stained very easily, and no matter how much scrubbing you do, it never comes off. As nice as they look first coming out of the box, be warned, these pans are a piece of crap!! Save your money and get something quality. | 0negative

Pretty good...except for
We've used the grill to cook chicken and french toast. It worked very well for both of these. The one negative aspect: the plates are semi-loose the way they snap into the grill so they only contact the heating element when closed onto food. | 1positive

Love it!
I am finally able to assemble this buffet and hutch, it arrived a couple days ago and with my busy schedule it is difficult to get time to do this sort of thing. I am SO IMPRESSED. One must remember when buying unassembled furniture that the construction is great as long as 2 things are present; great material and the person assembling the furniture takes their time and takes care while assembling the furniture. I must say that the directions though are a little surprising... very little steps, not very detailed in the pictures that are shown and leaves too much up to guessing. Some times like, insert all cam-locks and cam lock screws, would have been nice... things I should have picked up from doing other assemblies though and should have realized with the lack of directions that this should have been a part of it.The rollers for the drawers are metal and built to last. And it is SO NICE that there is not a beam between the doors meaning it will hold larger items without having to play tetris just to get them in the unit. The magnates on the doors are very strong to say the least. Needless to say, it looks beautiful!!! The measurement of the piece fills the space exactly the way I wanted. I am so pleased with this purchase!!! | 1positive

Poor design. Coffee lukewarm; Splashes with little cups
We tried this, and returned it a week later for the Senseo, which works terrifically so far.As stated in other reviews, the design is really flimsy plastic and can break easily.The coffee comes out just hot enough, so unless you are going to drink immediately, it will be cold.If you do not use a very tall coffee cup, the water jet is so high from the base that the coffee dispensing out hits the bottom of the cup and splashes out, which could burn a person as well as wasting your coffee.And as others have stated, it is really quite loud in a vibrating noisy way. It starts off somewhat quiet but as the week goes on the noise gets louder with use. It got so loud that I ran in the kitchen and shut off my dishwasher thinking it was malfunctioning only to find that it was the coffee machine making the noise.Needless to say, we didn't use it after that and enjoy the Senseo much more. If you really want it, wait a few months until everyone realizes it is a piece of junk and then buy it at Big Lots or another "buy out discount store" for ten dollars, which is more than it is worth.Thanks for reading and hope it helps. We read reviews before we buy anything, so if you have another product you can review, please do so. We can save each other a lot of time passing the word around. Good luck. | 0negative

Pleased, no complaints
Usage: Semi-daily lattes or cappuccinos for myself or two with my Rancilio Silvia espresso machine.After buying a much smaller "frothing pitcher" that is really better described a creamer, I bought this 20-ounce pitcher. While I normally make lattes only for myself, there is room in this pitcher to steam enough milk for two drinks when desired. For one drink I need to fill only 2/5 capacity, but it fits just fine between my steaming wand and the drip tray on my Rancilio Silvia. The "drip-resistant" lip delivers on its promise--I don't drip when I pour milk.I've been using this pitcher for a few months now, and I am definitely satisfied. Great pitcher at a fair price--and it's attractive to boot! Highly recommended for the personal or low-volume barista. | 1positive

Slices and dices everything but my fingers!

No leak.....no clock, no coffee!
I really rated it a minus 1.I'm not having a leaking problem like everyone else is from the carafe, mine leaks water from the bottom of the unit, the clock will not keep the correct time resulting in no auto brew and if by chance the timer does go off I only get a half pot because the remainder of the water that was suppose to brew coffee ran out all over the counter. The unit is going back TODAY! I unfortunately stumbled upon this rate-a-coffee pot (a bit late I'd say) when I went on-line looking for the store policy on returns. I'm still not sure if the store will take it back. I wonder if anyone from Mr. Coffee has ever stumpled across this particular rate-a-coffee pot. It sure did educate me...this was the first and last Mr. Coffee brand brewer I will ever buy! And when the opportunity arises I surely will tell everyone not to buy Mr. Coffee... | 0negative

Very pleased
I bought this for a gift for my daughter. It came quickly..just a little over a week. I never actually opened it myself I had my daughter pick it up. She and her boyfriend picked it up and had it together quickly. She is extremely pleased with. She said it was easy to put together, all parts were there and not a single scratch. | 1positive

NOT KN1PS Don't be mislead. Fits only 6 qt mixers
I tried to carefully read the product information and reviews before ordering a pouring chute. I got the wrong one for my mixer. I'm going to Bed, Bath and Beyond, brick & morter, to purchase another pouring chute so I get it right this time. The Amazon info just isn't clear enough. I failed to mention that I had to get the 3B assistant manager to special order the pouring chute for my mixer--a 5 qt. | 0negative

Out of Control Mixer
I got this as a Christmas present and it was terrible! I tried to use it once and the slowest speed was WAY too fast, which made it very difficult to control. Food was flying everywhere. I think more of it ended up on the counters and wall than in the bowl to use! There was a turbo boost button on it and it wasn't turned on. I tried to adjust the speed and there didn't seem to be much difference between the speeds. It was just REALLY fast! I considered this product defective and returned it. | 0negative
