Confusing discription
A quick reading of the item description and a look a the picture led us to believe we were ording a complete chair. Not So. It was just the canvas. This is useless unless you have the frame. A frame is anywhere from $35 to hundreds. | 0negative

Get a different model
I have had a Britta pitcher for awhile. I love it, it makes my faucet water drinkable. I just got this space saver model and the spout is shaped weird, like a u so the water spills out all sides. I traded it for the Aqualux. The spout is v shaped and should work better. I hope the lid stays on better too. | 0negative

Perfect!
I LOVE this decanter! Stylish appearance combined with superb function. Perfect product in my opinion. Allows that special bottle to "breathe" quickly and well. The elegant handle is perfectly balanced, resulting in an effortless pour. A beautiful addition to any table. | 1positive

very useful product to have
love these! from the first time i used one, i recognized their usefulness. not only do they keep the food size uniform, but if a small amount of cooking spray is applied, you can use them for just about anything. i used the larger one to make biscuits. what a pleasure! it swept the batter out cleanly and all the biscuits were done at the same time since they were all the same size. would definitely recommend this product for everyone. | 1positive

Really great trashcan
We bought this probably 5 years ago now and it finally quit working this year so we will be getting another. Others are right that it's a little glitchy. I find that if you turn it off for a few minutes, then turn it back on again, it resets. The battery compartment doesn't like getting wet so it's sort of hard to keep the inside of the lid clean. And the ring isn't perfect about keeping the bag up, you drop or push something in the bag and you could lose the top of the bag in your trash.But all of these things are pretty expected and the product is worth the hassle. I have not had to deal with customer service. | 1positive

Does exactly what we were looking for
This product was exactly what we were looking for. Takes up less space than our large food processor and does the same jobs for us. | 1positive

Good egg, so- so toaster
The egg poacher and boiler is surprisingly good. Every egg you poach turns out perfectly done once you get the water measurement down pat and the hard boiled system is faster and better than the old water in the pot method. But, unfortunately the toaster toasts unevenly (one side is browner than the other)and the overall quality of construction is cheap but it's servicable. | 0negative

Knife Set
I ordered 2 knife sets to give as Christmas Gifts.....I received these sets yesterday. I was disappointed with the quality by appearance....I cannot rate these sets on anything except appearance as I obviously can't use them because they are gifts. Based on the look of these items, I don't think they are worth the money they retail for in stores. They are worth the money I paid for them and not a cent more. I don't feel I received any savings based on what these items look like and feel like (weight). I noticed that the walnut stain used on the knife handles don't match each other and that the block is not stained walnut and therefore doesn't match at all. I would think they would match. I'm considering buying stain and finishing the block to match on my own.... I am disappointed with the sets, however, they may cut like a razor and, therefore, rate a 5 star in that category which I guess is the most important....I have a beautiful kitchen and I would not display this block and knife set on my countertop because of it's appearance.Thank you for letting me get this off my chestDebbie Montijo... | 0negative

Great coffermaker at a great price... Wait, it just broke, again
UPDATE 03/26/2010: Coffee maker just pooped out on me after less then three years. Why? Heck if I know...I have had this coffeemaker for five years and have been very happy with the product. It unexpectedly gave out on me the day after I had turned it over to wipe down the underside with a damp cloth. I'm not sure if moisture got in to the circuitry and shorted the heating element/control when wiped, if moisture was already inside and tipping it over caused a problem, or if it just wore out. I really liked the insulated carafe and simplicity of design and operation. When I saw that Amazon sells a refurbished model for 1/3 the cost of a new one it was too good of an opportunity to pass especially with Amazon's great return policy. I received the coffeemaker and it looks absolutely brand new. Not a scratch or blemish on either the maker or carafe. Comes in a white box labeled refurbished. The package includes a set of instructions and a few filters. There is a sticker on the box that indicates the manufacturers warranty for a refurbished Cuisinary is only 90 days. A new one has a 2 year warranty. The model I received is not the one pictured. I received what looks like the 975BKN which basically has more stainless steel on the filter housing. I also noticed a significant difference from the maker that I had gotten 5 years ago. My original insulated carafe was made with the mirrored glass inside making it like a thermos. The carafe I just received is just two layers of stainless steel similar to a travel mug. The thermos carafe is definitely superior in keeping the coffee hot for a longer time. The thermos carafe only holds 10 cups while the new carafe holds 12 cups due to its thinner walls.Four stars because my last one gave up the ghost without cause and the new and un-improved carafe. | 1positive

A homely bowl
I am not real happy with this bowl. I didn't realize how small it was. It is really sort of homely! The inside should have been a pale green to match the blue pistoulet set that it is supposed to be a part of. Too pricey for what it is! | 0negative

Good product for the money
I wore the first one out after years of use, now on my second one. Love this machine. First one wore out because of a plastic part in the grinding mechanism. The company needs to stop using plastic in there, but then it would last too long, right?It does a good job, has many grind settings, holds a good amount of beans in the hopper. | 1positive

water spills into handle and then spills on the floor...
It is amazing that someone thought of such a design! The top of the handle is open, wide open. Therefore, the water easily spills into the handle (which is hollow, BTW), and the bottom of the handle is not closed tight, so the water spills on the floor, in the fridge (your choice...) You do not even need to fill the tank completely, halfway is enough, just washing the thing is sufficient, et voila! water on the floor! Magic! Don't buy this! | 0negative

Lovely little kettle, just needs a little care and it works perfectly
The first time I used the kettle, I filled it too full for my needs and turned the gas up high hoping it would boil more quickly - obvious result: the kettle still took ages to boil as the flames were heating round the side and the heat was being wasted, and when the water did eventually boil, the handle was almost too hot to hold (very loud whistle though!).Since then I've always filled it just enough for my needs (usually one or two cups/mugs) and used a moderate heat, the kettle boils quite quickly, the handle is barely warm, and the whistle is fine.The kettle looks great on the hob, though close inspection reveals it could be more solidly built - presumably that would add to its weight though. I rest mine at an angle on the side of the sink and fill it through the spout, there is no need to use both hands and fiddle with the lid. I think the lid's main function is to allow you to see inside - the instructions explain how to remove any rust or scale etc if it develops (boil some mild vinegar solution in it for a while).The kettle is quite small - if you want to boil large amounts of water regularly, you could consider the larger 'Uplift' kettle in the OXO Good Grips range. | 1positive

Very cool attachment..
I received a Kitchenaid as a wedidng shower gift and every year my husband and his buddies get together to make over 100lbs of sausage. For the last several years they've ground the meat by hand, so I figured why not give this a try and see if it speeds up the process. We gave it a try a few nights ago and ground up a whole chicken and made chicken burgers. Not only was the process easy and fast but the burgers turned out amazing.Processing and shipment was quick and painless. I received my order within a week in time for Christmas. I also bought my husband the sausage stuffer but we haven't used it yet...the sausage stuffing party is in a couple weeks. Thank you! | 1positive

Excellent and Very Quiet!!!
This little heater is amazing!! I'm stationed overseas and live in a hardened tent with 7 other people. I was looking for something quiet to heat my space. This thing is unbelievable. It's very quiet, doesn't take up very much room, and heats very well. Probably not suited for a bigger room, but it's perfect for my 6'x7' space. Best $20 I've ever spent!!!!! | 1positive

Worst Hand Held Ever Owned
I bought this because I needed to replace my corded vacuum Dirt Devil after many years. This is a heavy, awkward Dirt Devil which blows so much hot air out of the side that it just blows the dirt around and picks up nothing. Everything is awkwardly located and it's very difficult to remove the power nozzle from the base. I'm writing this off as a $40 loss and looking for another brand. The heat is so intense that I fear a fire using this Dirt Devil and I have only used it three times in two weeks. | 0negative

Gorgeous but hugely disappointing...
I LOVE the looks of this item, and I was honored to have it on my counter... UNTIL it broke. And, I have been through two of them that broke in fairly short time. Sadly, another chapter in the "all show and little go" novella. I had bought an extra thinking it was a great, moderately priced gift for another food and wine lover--but the first one ceased functioning so quickly that I had to use the backup "gift" extra just for my own use. In rather quick time it stopped working and actually broke a chunk out of the glass neck of a bottle of wine making it risky to even drink it. Ever mindful of not wanting to waste wine, I carefully decanted what was left through cheesecloth into another bottle, but the experience was ruined worrying about little glass shards. Beautiful, yes-on a caliber of looking as if it should be in the Museum of Modern Art. Reliable? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Keep a backup to really work for you if I get it. A huge disappointment. | 0negative

A blade with a vibrator attached to it...
I've used good electric knives. This is no "bargain". I don't care how cute the box it came with is, this knife is USELESS. The motor wiggles the blade side to side just as much as it does back and forth. Consequently it is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A STRAIT CUT OUT OF THIS THING. Bought it. Made one slice. Returning it. Done. | 0negative

very poor blender
Very BAD design.I own this blender for more than 9 months now. Just like few others, I did some research before buying this blender and I am still very disappointed with the performance.This blender may be powerful with glass jar and good at crushing ice but it failed to do what a blender supposed to do which is to puree and liquefy foods!!! It has to do with the design of this blender.- The problem is the shape of the glass (wide at the base). Other blender like Oster has their glass sloped like a funnel channeling material towards the blades. But this one is like a tube shape so you can sit there and blend for literally a long time and still have chunks of stuff not puree and not liquefied.I bought this even though some bad review because some others said using minimum of liquid (like with different amount of liquid) or using different speed (like pulse) or run it for longer time will do the job. BUT actually it made NO DIFFERENT. In 9 months I own this, I tried everything I can think of and it still cannot puree and liquefied without leaving some small chunks!!!!When you read other reviews that give good feedback, make sure check how long they use it and what they use it for. This blender may be only good for limited use (like crushing ice). But if you want a blender to, uh, "blend" fruits, vegetables, soya beans etc, you'd better keep looking, since, amazingly, this model is not designed to do that. Even people gave good reviews said it will still wind up with small chunks!!! | 0negative

great machine, deceptive ad
I received my first refurb Kitchen Aid 5QT and had to return it. It had some scouring marks on the top and side...looked like someone used it to hammer nails. It was also missing the splash guard featured in the picture. I arranged a return with Amazon and the mixer was picked up the next day (Friday)and tthe new mixer arrived at my doorstep on Monday. I was impressed with the quick customer service. Although the mixer was in great shape and not hack marks, it still had no splash guard. When I reread the product decription, it only mentions a beater, dough hook, and batter paddle...no guard. the picture is faulty advertising. I suppose I need to carefully read the fine print on Amazon from here on out.The mixer is 5 star...only gave 4 because of the deceptive picture on the product's web page. | 1positive

Great bargain.
These are excellent towels for the money. They are not super absorbent, but they do get the job done. I really like the fact they are nearly lint less when cleaning my glass cooktop. Washed up great, wrinkled some in the dryer, but I buy my dishcloths for work and not looks anyway. Not that having handsome patterns in a lovely shade of red hurts. With three rambunctious grandkids running the house these days, all thoughts of things like color coordination in the kitchen are just a fond memory. I am happy as long as I can find the coffee press and tea kettle. I do find these towels to be an excellent, excellent bargain. I intend to buy a couple of more sets. And as always good ol' Amazon's shipping was super fast. | 1positive

quick delivery, good box, very flimsy construction
I have had kerosene heaters before - several times. This one was very flimsy despite careful assembly. The carrying handle, as others have noted is weak, flexable, and thin and ALSO will not stay installed. As others have also noted, I should go to a hardware store and get wire clips - hoping they know what I am talking about. The top sheet metal "hat" pops off and the base does not stay attatched well after sliding the main section sideways under the clips (epoxy perhaps?). I prefer to refuel outside (just a few feet) but this unit is made to be installed and never moved. I am surprised some federal agency has not gotten into this. I hope some clip and a few sheet metal screws can upgrade this unit. I wonder if $1.00 extra at the factory would cure these problems. As to operation and flame control - I am still learning to work it so have no feedback yet. With a winter storm coming it might be useful. | 0negative

Coffee tastes like plastic
My husband and I loved the idea of a "potless" coffee maker. That is a great idea. However, we have been using this machine for a few months and the coffee is really taking on a 'plastic' flavor. Aside from cleaning the container, I don't know what else to do. We changed coffee brands a few times thinking that was the problem, but no, it is definately the plastic lining that is causing the problem. We are in the process of looking for another coffee maker. Unfortunately we cannot find another "potless' one. I'm sorry to say this-but pass on this one if coffee flavor is important to you. | 0negative

Lasted 13 months before motor died- warranty only 12 months
I got what I expected for a cheap vacuum. I mainly use my rumba to vacuum the whole house, however the rumba doesn't clean rugs or stairs so that's what I got the hoover for. It never had fantastic suction but for the price, size and weight it did just what I needed. Over the past few months it seemed to be getting weaker and today (just one month after the warranty expired) the motor died. I would recommend something else with a longer life. | 0negative
|
Inadequate temperature
I really wanted to like this coffee maker. Basic, simple, easy to use design. Unfortunately, the water coming out peaks at around 165 degrees fahrenheit. Several other reviews have pointed this out as well, leading me to believe it is a design flaw rather than a problem with an individual unit. I measured the temperature of the water coming out of the brew spout with a digital thermometer. That is well below the optimal range of 195 - 205 degrees, resulting in poor flavor extraction. Pass on this coffee maker; there are better choices. | 0negative

Easy & fun to use
I peeled and sliced up some MacIntosh apples that were in season and at a good price. Laid the slices on the trays and plugged it in. Approximately seven hours later I have tasty dried apple slices to take as a low calorie snack. I have also added some to my granola recipe and I even put some on my peanut butter sandwich in place of jam. I am looking forward to getting and trying other fruit as it comes in season. If you are looking for healthy snacks that do not have added sugar or additives, this is your ticket. | 1positive

Doesn't work like a Crock Pot should
Like all the other reviews my pot boiled on low and overcooked the food. The liquid was so hot it spurted out of the lid and onto the counter. Like steam excaping from the lid. Not good if you are away at work. I threw this in the garbage and will go to the 2nd hand store for a Vintage Crock Pot. The old ones worked like a Crock Pot should. Don't be fooled by how stylish this pot is. Rival should be ashamed. | 0negative

Great Features but keeps the spouse awake
This clock radio has nearly every feature I was hoping for. While all the features work as described, both the projection light and the basic light for the regular clock are way too bright. The regular clock light is adjustable, but even the lowest setting is too bright. The projection light is so bright that my spouse make me keep the it in the "on demand" mode. (I roll over, punch the snooze button to get a quick ceiling projection of the time/temp) However, with that much effort, I'll probably just go back to using my old clock. | 0negative

Thought Provoking! (5th Grade Class Combined Review)
This book is sad and somewhat disturbing, but very well conceived and written. It is not light fun reading, but it's worth the effort to get through it. Lois Lowry's words and descriptions made her alternate future world come alive.A common complaint was that the ending leaves readers hanging. While it's good to make readers think, it's also nice to have a complete story. (The Giver's sequels also have this problem.)Overall, this book was excellent for students in 5th grade or higher. | 1positive

Best rice cooker I've ever had
This is by far the best rice cooker I've had. In the past, I've used Hitachi and National rice cookers that basically just heat up and cook the rice. This Zojirushi cooks the rice very evenly. I prefer my rice soft yet still resilient and the normal setting does that. It also keeps the rice from drying out if you leave it to warm. I've left it for a couple of hours and the rice remined perfect. Also, this rice cooker is quite easy to use. I highly recommend this model. | 1positive

POS: arrived non-functional.
This vacuum is a piece of garbage. I would say that it arrived broken, but that is not really accurate. On their own, all the pieces are fine. No specific piece was broken. The pieces just do not fit together. Specifically the bag area cover. In order for the device to function it needs to be an air-tight seal. But the piece is too small. And not just slightly off, it is no where close, almost as if it were designed for a different unit.Obviously hoover was aware that the piece did not fit, and just did not care. At first I was confused why the part was taped in place. Then when I removed the tape and the who thing fell apart I understood.Yes, duct tape is great. In a few years when the thing starts falling apart, I may choose to use duct tape to hold it together. But if your products require duct tape to keep it from falling apart before they leave the factory floor, you are in desperate need of a new QA department. I hope who ever at Hoover thought it would be ok to let a bunch of units(I now see that I am not the first to report this problem) out the door held together with tape looses their job over this.I ordered a replacement which I fully expect to be no better, but perhaps if I keep making amazon waste $30+ on shipping such a big box back and forth across the country, they will eventually catch on and use their weight to force Hoover to invest in a new QA department. | 0negative

Bigger than you think
We already own the 10" version of this omelette but we figured "for the price get it". The extra 2" really makes a difference.Nothing sticks to the finish and it is a breeze to wash(by hand!!). And for the person wanting a lid,buy the 8-1/2 qt.Professional Hard-Anodized saucier that is on. The lid fits perfectly and you get world's most versatile pot to boot. | 0negative

Not Your Mother's CorningWare!
This product is a stoneware product, and is NOT manufactured using the materials and process used by the original U.S. manufacturer (Corning Glass Works). CorningWare was originally a brand name for a unique pyroceramic glass cookware resistant to thermal shock, that was first introduced in 1958 by Corning Glass Works. CorningWare is notable for the fact that it can be used directly on the stovetop. The brand name was sold to World Kitchens, Inc. of Reston, VA., which reintroduced the CorningWare brand name in 2001. The new product is apparently manufactured as stoneware in China. It lacks much of the durability and strength of the original CorningWare. It is easily chipped or broken by impact, cannot be used on a stovetop, and it is likely that a rapid change from heat to cold or cold to heat could easily cause the new product to break or crack.I ordered this 12-piece set from Amazon.com, assuming that it had the strength and durability that was well-earned by the reputation of the original Corning Glass Works product over the years. When the item arrived, the small oval dish in the set had shattered. Amazon.com, to its credit, immediately replaced the set with a new set, and shipped it to me via overnight shipment! Upon arrival of the second set, I discovered that the large oval bowl had broken, and the small one was chipped and had a 1" hairline crack extending down from the chip on the edge. The breakage appears to have been caused by the manufacturer's packing method. The large oval bowl rests directly on the bottom of the box, so that any impact on the bottom of the package would be transmitted directly to this larger bowl. There is no cushion material between the corrugated cardboard box bottom and the large bowl. In addition the small oval bowl glass cover is not packaged to prevent impact between it and the small oval bowl. A collision between the glass lid and small oval bowl is likely the cause of the breakage in the first shipment and the chip in the second shipment.Unfortunately this new "CorningWare" amounts to a cheap knockoff that is being sold using the reputation of the original superior Corning Glass Works product, which is no longer manufactured. Amazon.com is doing what it can to "make things right" for the consumer, but unfortunately the fact that this poor-quality product is marketed through Amazon.com and other reputable vendors gives the consumer a false sense of security and quality that is not really deserved by the cheap look-alike, reintroduced by World Kitchens with the CorningWare name. The fact that it product's faulty packaging reveals how fragile these dishes are is the first clue given to the consumer that the name CorningWare is a now a marketing ploy rather than a true indication of a quality product. The consumer needs to realize that they are purchasing a common white-glazed stoneware product, and that it is not the pyroceramic product they might have expected.After shipping this 12-piece set to my home twice, with breakage in both shipments, Amazon.com determined that a third shipment could not be certain to arrive intact. They have issued a full refund. | 0negative

I really wanted it to work!!!
I too don't like the plugging, unplugging, dragging, knocking over, heavy lifting ... either. And I really wanted this to work. I did all the research and found that people either hated it or loved. And if they hated it, it was generally the handle or the battery that threw them off. Well, I decided to go ahead and buy one (from Sears with the extended warranty where they will just replace the whole unit). Brought it home, assembled it, and wouldn't you know, that handle is worse then everybody made it sound to be. I never did get it to work. But like I said, I really wanted this to work, so I was envisioning putting duct tape or super glue around it to make it work. Which, I probably would have done if I could have gotten the battery to charge. The battery would not charge regardless of what I did. Needless to say, it is back in its box and headed back to Sears. I'm just glad all those people that gave it bad reviews can't say "told you so". | 0negative

The cabinet looks very nice and easy to put together. But space between shelves are very small.

I didn't expect such great quality and softness for a fantastic price. They even fit my deep pillow top mattress without a problem! I also bought a twin set for my son - he loves them too! | 1positive

Works good.
I purchased the Berkey light and purchased a plug with it so I only had to use one set of filters (too save money and filters), their special filter and a fluoride filter. The Berkey light is nice because you can monitor the water level and its a BPA free plastic so its durable. After the initial prep of the filter it has been working great ever since. I did notice that if the main filter does dry out it will not filter as fast but after a few days it will normalize. I don't recommend leaving water in the filter too long and Beware that if the bottom part of the filter is full and you add water it will overflow all over the place. The first thing I noticed was how smooth the water was. After many taste tests with other people and pets this thing is certainly working. Please note....this is only the first step to improving your water. Just because you filter your water does not mean you have enhanced the water. I highly recommend a water spinner or some type of vortex generator too increase the oxygen level and enhance the water to its optimal level. Don't forget to get a Fluoride filter! | 1positive

Do Not Buy!
Bought this 2 months ago - LED display stopped working within 30 days and made it inoperable. Exchanged it for another one(which Amazon made SUPER EASY to do - thanks, Amazon!) and the replacement's LED has stopped working - again in less than 30 days. Very disappointed because I have always had KRUPS products and loved them. For the price, KRUPS should be able to put out a quality product! Will buy Cuisinart from now on. | 0negative

can't wait for summer!
i got these as a birthday present from my mother-in-law and i couldn't be more pleased! i previously had a generic popsicle mold that i'd purchased from the dollar section of a large retailer, but it took the pleasure out of pop-making. one of my main gripes was that the old mold was all one piece, so you couldn't easily remove just one pop without all the others getting in the way. i love love LOVE that with these molds, i can actually pull them apart. what's even better is that since each individual mold has a flat bottom, i can freeze these separately (without the base), too. it's a little bit of a balancing act, but it's nice to be able to just stick a pop here and there in the freezer wherever there's room. i haven't had any problems with removing my pops from the molds yet, as long as i run it under hot water for awhile and then give the top a little wiggle and it comes right out. i get a little jolt of satisfaction every time i slide out one of these pops and they come out so perfectly :) given how much i love these molds and what with summer coming along, i'm debating on buying another set of tovolo's so i can experiment with more different recipes and always have them at the ready in my freezer. now i just need to decide which other set i want... | 1positive

Oneida Julliard Stainless, Not Happy with it
I now have enough Julliard for 12 people, and I am sorry I purchased it. I ordered the first set for four, it looked nice when I opened the box, but my mistake was not taking it out to feel it. This stainless has no weight to it, and the handles feel like plastic. I feel as if this product has more plastic in it than stainless. Since Oneida stainless is made in different countries, I do not blame the people who make this product but I do blame Oneida for not keeping the same quality since they set the specs on the products that are to be made.The next order for 8 has not arrived yet, but I cannot cancel it since it is on its way to my home, and I know I will not bother to open the box, but will now have to sell it or see if Oneida will take it back. Last year I ordered stainless from Gorham and the quality is heavier and appears like a better product. The Julliard was more expensive, but I was able to get a buy from Oneida since they had a 30% off sale if you purchased a certain amount of their product. Maybe they were trying to get rid of some inferior stuff? Can't imagine they would think of doing this.Since I am from a generation when products were made with quality materials, I know the difference between a good set of stainless and a poor set. Goods are made with cheaper materials or with less in order for businesses to make profits, but at the same time, I for one will seek out that company who still makes a quality product. I thought Oneida would be one of them but they have let me down.Why do I give two Stars? I like the design only. | 0negative

Great coffee, elegant design
Produces some of the best coffee I've had at home. Cut down my store bough coffee budget significantly, i actually prefer to make my own coffee and take it togo that I would going to starbucks or any other coffee store.Pros:Great tasteCoffee is hot, even if you make small quantities 1-2 cups, and stays hot (the heating plate actually works!Fast, the chime to note that its done is the loud enough to hear, but not too loud or annoyingLooks really great, elegant, sleep and the vintage buttons make it interestingCons:not much, but if I had to pick something it would be that the drip control does not always work (ie if I pull out the carafe to pour coffee before brewing is complete, it sometimes still leaks one or two drops on the heating plate before it stops | 1positive

FOR THIS PRICE, It should be much better
I bought this set...After about a month or so, when I visited a friend in San Diego. I noticed that she has a very different set on knives. It was called CUTCO...the handle of the knife was very different. The Cutco's handle was far superior than my Henckels...It has a better handle than my new Henckels, which after using hers I noticed felt just like a cheap knives...her set has a Forever Guarantee that covers everything compare to my "defect only" guarantee, she said she even had a service call every few months. I told her that my guarantee was lifetime. She insisted that not the case, since her salesman told her explicitly.So when I got home, I checked the warranty, and it turned out she was right: it only cover defects...those $[money] that I spend on the Henckels was my biggest waste of money... | 0negative

Not worth the money
I registered for these thinking that they would be a good alternative for my newborn during the hotter months. I was displeased with the quality of the materials, as they are almost paper thin, and you have to wash in cold water. A majority of newborn clothing and blankets are a warm water wash, which seemed silly to have to run another cyle for some flimsy, dishcloth-like blankets. | 0negative

Beware! Incorrect Description
Does NOT use standard base bulbs! I was disappointed because I have looked all over for a lighted ceiling fan that takes standard base bulbs so I can use the energy savers that provide much brighter light at lower wattage. This one uses candelabra base bulbs which are expensive to replace so I returned it. Wish I had read the existing "Reviews" because I could have saved myself the trouble. Amazon must not use the information they gather on the "Reason for Return" portion of their return form because the description has remained incorrect since July of 2007 based on the date of Brian Seilski's review. The "Technical Details" have still not been corrected 3 years later! | 0negative

Great Basic Product, Great Price
This is a great product. I would rather have an enameled one, but those are a little pricey, and I got this one with a coupon from acquiring enough points on my amazon visa. Having bought this for only $5, I am very, very satisfied. If you are just looking for a basic model, this is the one to get. | 1positive

Leaks, leaks and then, leaks some more...
The first unit leaked intermittently (often) but we used it for two years because it shredded ice like no other. By that point the stainless finish had peeled off and corroded. Great stainless - NOT! We then bought another three weeks ago figuring that all bugs were worked out. FAIL - it leaks worse! Being the stupidly loyal customer that I am I called customer service and told them I wasn't putting up with it anymore and they sent a new bowl, gasket and cutter that was COMPLETELY different than the other. Great, they solved the leaking problem! NOT! FAIL! MUCH worse than ever! The new cutter assembly with its slotted insert and red gasket are worthless. How does this company stay in business?I don't understanding anyone giving this five stars. It must be that they don't mind cleaning up the spills. If you do any searching anywhere you find that this product leaks for nearly everyone. Given my extensive experience with it I can confidently say that it will ABSOLUTELY leak at some point and then consistently. | 0negative

Versatile Kitchen Tool
I had been using a Hamilton Beach food processor for years. Initially, I was a bit nervous about spending/investing the money to buy this product, especially after reading some of the negative reviews about sharp blades and "prohibitive" safety features. But, having used it over the holiday season, I am very satisfied with it's performance in terms of capabilities, speed of use, power, safety and "good looks", especially when compared to food processors from other manufacturers. From dough to cole slaw to salsa to veggie prep, it does it all. It's also fairly easy to clean after use for the next job. Great product! | 1positive

Works Great
I was impressed with their sturdiness. I bought two of them for the rear speakers of my Sony 5.1 surround system. They included many different options for attaching the speakers which should make it easy for most speakers to be attached. The most time-consuming part of the installation was threading the speaker wire through the stand due to the curve. Other than that, these are great speaker stands at a great price. | 1positive

Very dissatisfied, will try to send back
Like other reviewers here (nursegardener), I received a faulty product--the lid does not come off. I should not have been sold this product and I am looking into returning it, which is a huge inconvenience for me. | 0negative

Great for two people meals :D
The two sizes make for a very nice presentation for two people meals (I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes and have been reducing meal portion size). I just made a fruit crisp for two in the smaller one and was quite pleased with how it turned out. | 1positive

Needs improvement
This worked well for one season then leaked water everywhere. The water shorted out the controls - was lucky there wasn't a fire. It never worked the same again. I gave it two stars because when it did work, it kept the humidity at a comfortable level. If I buy a digital humidifier, I'd look for one with the controls anywhere but under the water supply. | 0negative

Excellent value for price
This product is truly black - not the awkward green black of cheap leather or the weak gray-black of inferior dye, but a nice, thick, rich black. Texture is wonderfully soft and smooth, and the pockets are very deep - no problem getting this to fit even with my 1" thick memory foam mattress topper. Very happy with this purchase. | 1positive

Terrible - don't buy
Yes, it's inexpensive - but it's a complete waste of money because it hardly gives any humidity, is really loud (impossible for a bedroom), and is very cheaply built. Cannot recommend it at all, wish I hadn't bought it. | 0negative
