Eureka Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum
Great product for the price! I was amazed at how much power it had for a lightweight product. Would definitely recommend it. | 1positive

Looks good
I have a small Kitchen so space is a premium, this product is a welcome addtion. The template does match the pre-drilled holes so beware | 1positive

Finally, a British tea kettle with US wiring!
I first came across this item at my cousin's home in North Devon, UK several years ago. I wished we had a kettle such as that, and here it is! You will not be disappointed...now, go have a good hot cup of tea and relax! | 1positive

Worst toaster ever
Our whole family hates this toaster. This is the cheapest toaster I have seen since I bought the 15$ toasters in the 80's. The knob turns so easily, every morning you have to check the knob to make sure no one hit it in the last 24 hours or your toast will be burned. The toaster would always toast one side, under toast the other and burn some part of the crust. Both sides of the toaster were the same, one didn't toast any better than the other. A bagel comes out with the top half under toasted and the bottom half toasted. We have never had more burned toast then out of this toaster. Larger toast like "Arnold Whole Grain" sticks out of toaster an inch.We complained and they sent another horrible toaster, the first piece of bread I put in the replacement toaster burned on one side, toasted the other, on a setting under 3, so I don't expect the new one to perform any better. We will probably end of scraping this at $70 and buying a Kitchen Aid. This is my last try at a Cuisinart appliance. Cuisinart should be ashamed of the $70 price tag on this $15 dollar toaster. We returned the first one under warranty and they make you pay $15 to send a new one and it is no better than the original, you just end out more money. Junked it and learned an expensive lesson about cuisinart appliances. | 0negative

Do not buy, Rust fast
We bought 2 sets. Both rusted fast just like another reviewer stated. One was within the return period so we sent it back. The other set is rusting away in our kitchen. | 0negative

Good Mini - Cheap Exterior
I bought this mini food processor, as I wanted a small mini that I could leave on the counter to match my other stainless/chrome/silver and black Cuisinart products. This mini works fine; however, I am very disappointed that the alleged chrome finish is actually cheap plastic and looks like it is cheap plastic. I would have preferred to have paid a little more and had a nice looking unit too. | 1positive

Poorly made
I purchased this flatware 4 months ago, after a life time (nearly 60 years) of Oneida flatware use. Of the 12 knives, 8 have rust spots on the blade or handles. I am in contact with Oneida right now, but this experience means I won't purchase their made in China flatware again.Update: Phone call to Oneida resulted in being put through to someone in the Customer Services Department at Robinson US. Lisa states that rusting occurs for the following reasons: The spoons and forks are made of 18/0, whereas the knives are 13/0, making them lighter, but also more likely to rust. You can't use dishwasher detergent that has citrus, because that eats away at the stainless. You must take the flatware out of the dishwasher and dry it completely, or it will rust. Using Softscrub (non-citrus types) will remove the rust so that you don't have to worry about ugly flatware on your table. She asks for pictures, and states that they will replace the knives ASAP.I'm still not going to buy Oneida again....... | 0negative

Awesome tea kettle, one small issue
While this isn't 100% plastic free on the inside, it's very close and I frankly don't know of a model that is (please post in comments section if you know of one).Hence, I'm much happier with this than I was with my 100% plastic one which I only used as a water pitcher because of obvious concerns.This thing will take about 2 minutes to boil .6L of water. So, I cannot say that it's fast by any means.It's virtually maintenance free and is very stylish, however.My only complaint, one which I haven't figure out yet, is that if you filled it up with water and then dumped it (as I do into my water filter), and then proceeded to fill it up with filter water, the lid on this kettle begins to leak quite a bit water all over its side and onto the floor; I'm not sure how it manages to do this, but just a warning not to fill this thin up too much. | 1positive

I like it!
I think the pillow's very comfortable and I sleep great with it! I have been having some neck issues, so I thought this would help--it hasn't solved them, but I sure do rest a lot better with the pillow. I don't find that it was cheap looking or smelled like a manufacturing plant (like some reviews on these types of pillows have said), and I think it was the perfect amount of firmness! I really recommend it! | 1positive

KitchenAid is the best, but.......
I LOVE my KitchenAid mixer. I just wish I had had it 30 years ago. Couldn't justify the cost then and now I can't fully utilize it. All our kids are gone. Anyway, this pasta roller is wonderful......puts out a great product, but! It is HARD to clean. Get right on the clean-up detail. Don't let anything dry on it or you will be scraping dough off it with a stick!I just wish I had had the wherewithall to purchase these wonderful appliances when the kids were little. In those days, I mixed and rolled by hand. No one complained about the end product, but it sure would have been easier with the pasta roller! | 1positive

Does the job, quiet, easy to maintain
pros: It's aesthetically pleasing, quiet, doesn't require a filter, and only has to be refilled once every couple dayscons: You have to take the head and body out in order to refill it, since the cap is on the bottom of the unit. It'd be cool if the cap was on the top so you could fill it without taking it apart. | 1positive

You get what you paid for
About a month after I got this toaster oven (and just a few uses) the timer knob broke off. Since there is no off setting for the timer, the toaster is on continuously unless it's unplugged. It's a piece of junk and not worth the money. | 0negative

Must use the anchors as well! (trust me on this)
So, I was a little anxious to try this out and hung it without installing the anchors into the door. Bad idea. The hooks that allow you to hang from the the top of the door bent from the weight of my ironing board and iron. The fall broke my iron. My fault though!! I now have it hung with proper anchors and it works like a charm. I even have an odd ironing board with non-standard legs and it fits just fine. It does the job, but USE THE ALL OF THE MOUNTING HARDWARE! Now I need to find a nice new iron to go with it. | 1positive

Waste Of Money
Sure, we all loved them, at first. Within four years, mine, my mother's, and a close friend's all died. The problem was identical on all three...first a few drops of oil started leaking out, which we all thought was our imagination. One or two uses later, they only went up to a low medium speed, then made clunking noise and stopped. Add that to our piles of also broken Kitchen Aid blenders and food processors, and you have a great picture of how the quality of these products has tumbled over the past five years. None of us will ever buy another Kitchen Aid product again. | 0negative

Lodge Logic 5 Qt Dutch Oven
This Made in America item is perfect for baking the New York Times' No-Knead Crusty White Bread recipe. I considered a Le Creuset which cost $264.95. The Lodge pot cost only $29.95 - quite a difference. The bread came out perfect, crusty and golden, so I'm very happy with my purchase. The pot is heavy just like the Le Creuset; the Lodge may not be as pretty but it does the job. When I received the dutch oven, the company brochure gave information on all the Lodge products, and I found that Lodge also sells enameled cast iron pots reasonably priced, plus the company has been around for over a hundred years. I was impressed with the product, pleased with the two-day delivery, and love the bread that I'm now making in the pot. Good buy through Amazon. | 1positive

Nice space-saving product
I like that you have option to either use the rack free-standing or mounted on a wall, or to use the canisters themselves on the refrigerator. The feature which prompted me to buy this product over similar ones was the dispensing options on the lid.A welcome addition to this product would be the inclusion of a blank sheet of labels. I used only four of the ones provided, then used a word program and clear labels purchased from Avery to print out my own. | 1positive

not pleased
The first delivery proved it's fragility when there was a chip on the rim of the grill side, allowing any fluids to seep through.Amazon, themselves, were wonderful. They provided shipping back to their facility and send out another identical product in it's place at no additional charge to myself.The second arrived unscathed. On the second run of making quesadillas; we hear a loud shatter type sound. The unit must of had a weak spot and caused a 4 inch long crack from edge inward toward center of unit rendering it useless.In the end; the unit is not to par and I recommendLodge Pro Logic Pizza Panwhich serves same as griddle (no grill side(obviously)). Worth it | 0negative

It's discontinued, HA - HA!!!!
This coffeemaker was by far the best four cup maker out there 'til the five cup Bodum came out! I use it daily and those that weren't smart enough to buy one when they were available missed out! Now you'll have to spend three times as much on the smaller Bodum E-santos to get coffee this good! | 1positive

This machine is AMAZING!!!!
I purchased this particular machine due to the reviews I had read. I was not disappointed. I wanted it for my classroom for quick reward parties but I was afraid that it would not hold up to the amount of snow cones I would need to make at one time. Several of the reviews were from teachers so I took the chance. Well, yesterday was the test day and what a success! In 20 minutes I not only had made enough perfect snow cone ice for my 20 students, I invited the class next door. I had made them in small bathroom size dixie cups and by the time the other class had gotten all of theirs, my students were done and we went for round two. (I have 4th grade) So, in all of about 20 minutes, this machine put out enough perfect ice for just under 55 students. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality machine that makes ice exactly like the professional models. It is a bit noisy, but I'm not sure how it could not be, it's shaving ice and that in itself is noisy. I have decided that next year we will have 'snow cone parties' every month for rewards that have been earned. It's that easy to do. | 1positive

HENRIETTA HEN EGG COOKER
Henrietta laid an egg. She could not cook my extra large eggs. Poor Henrietta is just to thin. The top half of Henrietta is not a good fit either. I think Henrietta's water broke because I found it on my counter top. | 0negative

love this cooker!!
I love the design and the price, but most of all I love the results. I don't usually have a lot of time to cook things so I made this purchase. My first dish was pulled pork... it was delectable. Next I will try beans. Clean up wasn't too bad - just remove the inner piece. Warning: Don't overfill. Also comes with a book that will help you determine how long to cook certain foods. | 1positive

NOT A JAY STRONGWATER!!!!
This frame shows up as one of the first search results when you type "Strongwater" as your search. Somehow this seller get this frame listed under this search.

Ronco is a piece of junk

doesn't heat hot enough for the cotton candy to come out
We got this product for Christmas and it worked okay on that first day. After that, (the next day) the machine never made enough heat for the sugar become cotton candy. I have tried using the machine in February and now in March and will return it, even if for only a partial refund. Sad to say. It was a very cute and beautifully designed piece. Too bad the quality didn't pair up to its nostalgic design. I should also mention, in case of doubt that we used it in 80 degree weather so it's not an issue about it being too cold outside. We live in the Caribbean. | 0negative

A great concept, but not a great product
We purchased this item and thought it would be a wonderful idea. Unfortunately it did not work very well. It did not provide a 'foamy' cup of coffee like the pods did, thus the coffee lacks a quality that the foaming offers. Also the item lodged in the Senseo Machine and the machine had to be opened with a screwdriver and pliers. Fortunately it did not ruin the Senseo machine. | 0negative

This is not the vacuum you'll get if you order, so DON'T
The item advertised (bagless, washable HEPA, etc) is nothing like the model shipped (bags, etc.). Spent a good 1/2 hour haggling with J-&R Music, who insisted it was the same as what I ordered (and got confirmed). I had to actually email them the link they claimed didn't exist to prove it wasn't. Only after getting passed on to a manager was I told: So sorry, Amazon mistake. send it back. J&R doesn't carry the Limited Edition.(Then had to fight with them about paying to ship it back!) So don't even think about ordering this. | 0negative

Not Very Comfortable...
I ordered this chair based on price and the reviews. I have to say it is not very comfortable. First of all it is too tall. When I sit in it, my feet can't reach the floor. It is hard to get in and out of due to its height. Third, the swivel is loose, so that when you try to glide , it's swiveling too. Fourth, to call this a "reclining" chair, is really misleading. It does not recline very far back at all. Had I been able to try it out first, I would not have purchased this chair! | 0negative

Useles for pet hair
I find this vacuum totally unacceptable for the cleaning I have to do. Pet hair does not come up. I've had to disassemble the vacuum several times in the last nine months to remove clogs. Hard to push. Brush stops rotating on the carpet, regardless of the height settings. Attachments fall out of their sockets. On the plus side - it does have a powerful motor and good suction (when it's not completely clogged). | 0negative

Great vacuum... but with a small problem
My wife and I got this vacuum a few months ago, and we love it! Great value, great suction, decent features.But there's a minor flaw that we discovered. When you detach the wand/extension hose, you're also detaching the hose that is used when you vacuum normally. In other words, the hose that dirt travels through when vacuuming normally is the same hose that you detach to use the extension. What this means is that when you use the extension, whatever is underneath the unit (whether carpet, hair, or dust) sometimes gets sucked up... and without a tube to route it into the dirt bin, it flies into the air and back into the vicinity that you're vacuuming.Admittedly, it's not a major flaw; it's more of a nuisance, as I have to be careful of what is underneath the vacuum when I use the extension. Otherwise it's a great vacuum for the price, and the house always feels noticeably cleaner after we've used this vacuum. | 1positive

Waffles stick, VERY slow to cook, coating comes off in food
Having the non-stick coating come off on my waffles after just a year of use made me finally toss this in the trash. I already dislike the VERY slow cooking time (twice what my newer hamilton-beach takes) and I also disliked the fact that waffles always stuck unless I sprayed it every time. I won't miss this at all. | 0negative

Design flaw impedes performance
The unit is good-looking and sturdy, although larger than I expected. The motor is powerful and the reamer design is extremely effective getting out all the juice. However, there is a problem over which I am returning mine. The larger "orange" reamer does not replace the smaller "lemon" size, but nests on top of it. That gives one more item (beside the bowl and stainless-steel filter) that has to be washed. More seriously, that puts one more item (a total of four) between the orange and the motor. So, if anything gets at all out of alignment (such as if a piece of pulp gets between two parts, or things just tilt a bit) pressing on the orange half may not engage the switch that starts the motor. The result is extremely frustrating--maybe juice, maybe nothing, maybe just a hum. Too bad. | 0negative

Three in two years - motors burned up
PROSI used this almost daily.SIZE, EASY TO CLEAN AND DISHWASHER SAFE- In comparison to my big huge food processor, which takes up a lot of time to clean, the small chopper fit blade and all, right into the dishwasher and took up very little space.EVENLY CHOPPED FOOD- It produced evenly chopped garlic, fresh herbs, nuts, and pureed just about anything.APPEARANCE- It looks great on against the marbled black/brown granite counter and has a small footprint. However, I like the look of the Cuisinart Elite Collection 4-Cup Chopper/Grinder over the KitchenAid (both black).CONSMOTOR- Three motors that burned up in two years...Won't buy a KitchenAid chopper again. Replaced with the Cuisinart Elite Collection 4-Cup Chopper/Grinder which has had no motor problems in the past year+. | 0negative

Pills and Pulls
I was disappointed with the quality of these towels. I bought four because they were part of the four-for-three promotion. After washing and drying them, they came out of the dryer with pilling and stray threads. If I had bought them for other than use in a kid's bathroom, I would be pretty irked. I did read the reviews(mixed) before I bought them, so I can't claim to be totally ignorant. I'm hoping they improve with age like one reviewer mentioned. The bottom line: If you're buying these towels for a guest bathroom, or it's important that they look really nice, you should pass on these. | 0negative

Strong magnet! Very strong.
I bought these to replace some suction cup hooks that were on our refrigerator. The fridge is next to the stove and the suction cups had a bad habit of popping off and landing potholders and oven mitts on the burners, in the frying pan etc. Definitely not a good situation. I read the reviews and thought I'd give them a try. They are perfect! You put them up and they stay exactly where they're placed. No sliding whatsoever. Hold a decent weight. And they are very classy looking. | 1positive

Missing piece, pictures can be deceiving
The lid from the smallest sauce pan was missing. I called and asked if they could send the missing piece. Instead of making it simple, they said I'd have to send the whole thing back to them. Because of this, I asked for a refund. The pans themselves also don't look nearly as good as they do in the photo. The lesson here is to not buy items like this online. Your best bet is going to a store and seeing what you are going to buy in person beforehand. Also, if you run into any problems, it's less of a hassle to take care of. | 0negative

Boils Water Very Well
I bought this to replace a hot pot that was rusting pretty badly on the heating plate. This kettle does not boil water quite as fast as the hot pot but it still boils fast enough to make me happy. The whistle is nice so I know when the water is ready. As a college student this is great for tea, Ramen noodles, and hot chocolate. However this kettle can only be used for water.Good product overall. | 1positive

Great filtering- TERRIBLE pitcher
Well, the water's terrific -- but no matter how many times we try to asemble, reassemble and figure out the architecture of the pitcher, the thing leaks when you pour -- and leaks a lot. So it's essentially useless. I wonder what rocket scientist designed such a device. Maybe they can get a job at NASA. | 0negative

what a deal!
These balls are simply great. There's tons of colors to pick from - which is important for some tricks to have different colors. They are not huge which is good for me because i have small hands. They seem to be very well made and the price is right. I did find some cheap ones on here but seriously, you get what you pay for. Plus, the shipping was very very fast. I got them in 2 days even though I picked Standard. | 1positive

This is a lumpy bumpy waste of money.
We bought this king size fiberbed for our motorhome bed. My husband and I tried it for one night and had to take it off. We both woke up with backaches. It would be fine except the bed is divided into 4 sections, so there are 4 areas in the bed where it is sewn down that there is absolutly no fiberfill, and other areas where it is about 4 inches thick. It is like sleeping on stairs. Save your money for something else. This one is getting returned. | 0negative

Calphalon Has A Quality Control Problem
What frustration! EVERYTHING sticks to these pans. I'm an accomplished cook, I own other Calphalon, and I'm here to tell you these pans are terrible. I have no doubt that others who rave about them got a great set of pans--like I thought I would get. There is obviously a QC problem here, and Calphalon's problem has become my problem.I'm returning the set, plus the Everyday pan and stockpot. It's great that Amazon has an easy return system (been shopping here for years and never used it until now), but it still means I have to repack everything, lug it to the UPS store, and ship it. I shop online to save time and money...and this experience has soured me on Calphalon. There are other anodized pans out there and I'm looking for a brand that offers CONSISTENT quality. | 0negative

Doesn't live up to the hype!
The under table plug in feature and cord minder/iron rest were alluring features, but the plug broke off on second use, and the iron holder is in a fixed position making storage difficult.

The Best Ever
This Black & Decker Grill and Waffle Baker is the best! I grew up with Mom using this same waffle maker and it still works like new. I decided to get my son and daughter-in-law one since I've enjoyed mine over the years.It makes the perfect waffle and you can flip the irons over to make a griddle for eggs, bacon, or even grilled cheese sandwiches.It's easy to clean too. Just remove the griddles and wash them in warm soapy water, let them dry, and snap them back in place.Be sure to spray the waffle side good with Pam first so the waffles won't stick. This waffle maker cooks four waffles at the time so everyone can eat together while more are cooking.Great Product! | 1positive

Kitchenaid's equivelant to the Binford 5000
I have owned a Kitchen Aid Ultra Power for 15 years and try as I might, I could not break it. I finally relented and purchased the new Kitchen Aid Professional 600 with 575 watts of true power. I really like the additional capacity of the 6qt bowl and the soft start. It kneads bread better than the older one without binding the dough on the hook. The mixing shield is also much more user friendly. The only drawback is there is not enough room to freely detatch mixing attachments without taking the bowl off and it can get messy. | 1positive

Hopelessly, Dangerously Slippery
I was so psyched when I bought this mat. I have been doing yoga intensely for the past year and have gone through a couple of mats, two Gaiams and some cheap PVC mat. The Gaiam was natural rubber and was a great nonslip surface, but it began breaking down after a couple uses, so I decided that I would find another natural rubber mat. After reading the eKO reviews, I decided that this mat would be perfect. Unfortunately, it wasn't at all what I had hoped for. It was slippery beyond slippery, causing my limbs to entirely slide out from under me, even after using it for a month, which should have been enough time to break it in. The seagrass texture faces the wrong direction-- it should run across the width rather than the length, which I think would help with slipping. I thought that maybe it could be a coating that had to be washed that was causing the problem. I used a 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 water solution that Manduka had recommended. No luck at all. It just made the mat smell. So I tried soap and water, scrubbing it with a sponge. Again, no change. I've contacted Manduka to see if I can return this useless, dangerous item and their customer service was rather rude to me. They addressed me by a name that was not my own and told me that I should try washing it with vinegar and water, which I told them within the first two sentences of my email that I had tried multiple times. I'm still waiting to hear back from them, 2 weeks later to see if I can get my money back. | 0negative

Very Very Weak projection
This projection clock has very very weak projection abilities. The alarm is also very weak and soft. Don't buy this even if you are thinking of placing it in the bedroom as a fancy alarm clock.

Cheaper from Arc 4 Life
My Arc 4 Life pillow was just delivered. It came with a short informational pamphlet which led me to their website. I was very upset to see that Arc 4 Life is selling the pillow for $51.95, almost $11 less than on Amazon. If this pillow is as good as the testimonials say, I plan on purchasing a second one for my vacation home. I will definitely buy the second pillow straight from the company. I had to rate the pillow to complete my review but I have not had a chance to try it yet. | 0negative

Not a fresh maker
I bought one for a small bathroom and one for near my desk in a very small study. I haven't noticed any remarkable air quality improvements (fresher air, odors eliminated, mildew stopped in its tracks) from either. Some attributes to note are that the Sanimate emits a bright yellow light (an indicator light perhaps; it's not a night light) and makes a consistent buzzing as well as intermittent clicking sounds. Both air fresheners have developed verdigris on the brass plate (the small circle on the front); when cleaned off, the brass/gold color doesn't come back. I'm inclined to suggest you save your money; sometimes a bowl of vinegar helps clear the air more (we live in a condo and the two rooms I used these in back up against the neighbor's kitchen odors...). | 0negative

Glass breaks too easily
This worked great for the first 3 days. On day 4 it tipped over on the counter and broke immediately. Glass is much too fragile. Am using a different glass container with the frother plunger, and it does work flawlessly, but the glass container it ships with is unnecessarily too thin and breakable. | 0negative

Clean Water = Excellent Coffee
Beginning with the Coffee Team Plus, Capresso introduced the concept of a water filter in the water tank of their automatic coffee makers. If you use tap water, the filter is a wonderful idea. It removes impurities and chlorine before the water is heated. Clean water and a clean coffee maker = great coffee.The manufacturer's recommendation is to change filters every 6 weeks or 60 pots of coffee. I usually change them every two months, or so. I imagine the effectiveness of the filter may depend on the quality of the water you use. I haven't had a problem yet.Usage tip: Each filter is individually wrapped in plastic to keep it fresh until opened. When you open a filter, first soak it in cold water for about 15 minutes. Then rinse it under running water for another minute or two until the water dripping from the filter is clear. If you still see black particles dripping from the filter, run a pot of water through the coffee maker, with the new filter inserted, without coffee beans and discard the water afterward, or use the water for plants (when it is cooled, of course.) | 1positive

This item is great. My husband likes one type of lettuce and I like another. This container has a divider and keeps both types of lettuce fresh longer than in it's original container. I recommend using this product. | 1positive

Didn't like
Probably would have been okay, but the several of the little balls kept falling out on first use. Threw this away. Not worth the money to return it. | 0negative

Wouldn't buy it again!
There are some major flaws in this machine. The first is that it is dangerous when it becomes unstable, which is frequent. The second is that it will only juice about a cup of juice before becoming unstable. When it becomes unstable the lid flies off and juice sprays everywhere. In order to get the amount of juice I want, I have to empty the centrifuge 3-4 times each morning. Iirritating to say the least. I did not buy it from amazon and the vendor is now gone, so I guess I am out of luck. There are so many other juicers out there, so don't buy this one. Make sure your juicer has some kind of pulp disposal system so you can just keep juicing! | 0negative

Surprisingly poor quality
Didn't come with the bottom shelf, missing one screw, holes drilled in at oblique angles, drawer handle broke during installation & does not sit squarely on the floor. Very poor quality. Had I paid 30 dollars, I wouldn't be writing this review. But at nearly 80 dollars, I felt I had an obligation. Don't know what other folks received - but I can assure you, you would not be pleased to receive the item I received. Perhaps it is the odd defective unit, but I urge you to buy with caution nevertheless. | 0negative

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This is the BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY!! I purchased it for my sons bed after having redone his bedroom. Well, I found it stuffed in his closet the other day and didnt know why? Well he showed me why. It looks fine on the outter side, but when you turn it over, it has feathers poking out EVERYWHERE!! He said "they poked me all night long!" Now this is coming fr a 17 yo, who has never cared one way or the other about what his bedding consists of. I went to send it back but it was to late. DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY!! | 0negative

I hate this vacuum cleaner!
This is a cute little product, and I loved it for the first 2 or 3 uses. Every single time since then, however, I have had to take it apart to fix the fan belt, which falls off constantly. Seven screws out, seven screws back in. Sometimes this happens 2 or 3 times in a single session. The carpet suction on area rugs causes this to happen, which means that they are cleaned with the less effective floor suction option. Just leaving the vacuum on with the wand upright for a few seconds causes the fan belt to fall off. Worst part? We overlooked Amazon's plicy of returns within 30 days. An expensive mistake. | 0negative

Blender terrible! I want my money back
I think it is a design flaw. We never have got this to work properly. Everything we used it, it leaks. I really think the manufacturer should be responsible for this. | 0negative

Popsicle Maker
Works well - but picture is a bit deceiving. This tray makes the larger popsicles NOT the type that can be easily broken into (2) popsicles. (Like the ones you buy in a store) | 1positive

Fantastic Value, Poor Tray Quality
"Lead Crystal set is Gorgeous and Commands Attention. The glassware looks and feels more expensive then it is. A fantastic value in just the glassware alone, but the serving tray is cheap looking and does not match the quality of the crystal. Mine arrived with a major scratch, and a lot of rust like pitting all over it. I did not contact the seller to exchange the tray because even if the tray was perfect, it would still look cheap underneath the glasses. Another Great Amazon Find!! | 1positive

An excellent choice at Amazons.
Having been fortunate to observe the Soleus dehumidifier working at my next door neighbors, I am equally satisfied with its performance.It looks good, works silently,and is no problem to handle. With my 90 years I can easily lift it and get rid of the water. And it was so easy to get it. Amazon delivered it within the promised time, it was easily unpacked and set up. | 1positive

very good
For under $100, this is a very good vacuum. Very quiet, simple to carry, and picks up well. My only complaints are that the cord is a little short, and the hose doesn't extend that far. OH yeah, and the brush attachment is way too small. but it's still a great buy | 1positive

BEST POT EVER
I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS POT TO BE SO BIG BUT MY POT CAME IN GOOD SHAPE AFTER READING THE REVIEWS AND BAD EXPERIENCE THAT THE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD WITH AMAZON AND HOW THERE ITEM WAS BROKEN AND MISTREATED I HAVE TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT NO COMPLAINTS. I LOVE THE POT AND ITS CAME BRAND NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 1positive

Sleep Like A Baby
This product rocks!!!! I have been waking up with back and shoulder pain everyday. I even considered purchasing a new mattress but first I wanted to try this memory foam topper. Well let me tell you, I wake up with no more pain and I saved hundreds of dollars because I no longer need to purchase a new mattress. Love this product and would highly recommend it. | 1positive

Excellent.
I love this ice cream maker. It produces perfect ice cream every time and is easy to assemble, plus it has an automatic shut-off to prevent overchurning, which most ice cream makers do not have. The ice cream is usually done in about 15-20 minutes, and is deliciously smooth and creamy. Highly recommended. | 1positive

Very Happy
They cut through biscuit dough nice and clean so the biscuit expands nicely as it is baked. It works, so I am happy. | 1positive

Garlic Makes It Good! and Zyliss makes Garlic easy.
Alice May Brock is quoted as saying:Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian;Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian;Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good.And Zyliss garlic press makes it oh so easy (and unmessy) to get the garlic where you need it! Don't even have to peel the garlic!(Caution: the cleaning tool (to get any remaining garlic out of the holes) is unidirectional. It does need to be lined up or you will break some of the plastic tines. But you rarely need to use it anyway, it's so simple to clean.)Even America's Test Kitchen loves this garlic press! | 1positive

Good product
I received the canvas seats and backs in a timely manner and they look great and fit my standard director's chair. Another reviewer stated they didn't fit his chairs, but they must be a non-standard size because mine fit perfectly. | 1positive

Little tricky to use but won't work now
Had this unit for about 5 years. Overall, once you got figured out how to seat the opener on the can it worked very well and with little effort. It is trickier to lock it into place on some cans. Also, if a friend or neighbor is over helping prepare food and goes to use it - good luck unless they've used a similar type can opener. Now after about 5 years the unit has worn out and wont open any cans...however, that is longer than most can openers have lasted....then again, it's 2 to 3 times more $$ than the swing aways. | 0negative

Beautiful, but silent
I received my beautiful Chantal kettle for the holidays in 2007. It was used TWICE and produced it's unique tone. After that, it went silent. Give me a break... TWO uses until it needed servicing. For a hundred bucks, you'd expect a bit better quality. Sorry, but this is CLEARLY not worth the extra expense. | 0negative

A Toy Fan
I have had window fans that actually pulled out hot air from a second story room, allowing cooler first floor air to flow upstairs.On the exhaust setting this window fan is more like a toy. When it didn't seem to be creating ANY air flow in the exhaust mode, I tested it by letting smoke drift about a foot from the fans. The fans didn't pull the smoke toward them, much less pull hot air from my 8x8 mini office. It might work best as a fan blowing IN, but I needed an exhaust fan. It is one of the more expensive small window fans and I expected it to be more functional. | 0negative

Holding up just fine.
I needed a replacement for my Mr Coffee that failed (could not read the LED clock). I have the Cuisinart bean grinder so this where I started. I keyed in on this one and the 14 cup model. Everything works as advertised with a few minor exceptions- When you open the lid to remove yesterdays grounds, the water condensation will pour off the lid onto your counter, also adding the water can be interesting if you use the carafe, it's a dribbler. I use a separate pitcher - problem solved.To wrap things up -I've had this model about 4 months and it is churning out fresh coffee on a daily basis without fail. Amazon had the best price although the shipping cost canceled out the mail in rebate. (Which the local sales tax and gas cost would have also canceled out the rebate). I can recommend this brand/model. | 1positive

PLEASED
I didn't know what to expect because of the low price but I am Very pleased with the quality of these sheets. Even after several washings, there was no pilling and they became even softer. | 1positive

Poor manufacturing quality control
The bowl is mechanically interlocked with the lid. There were molding spurs inside the lock area and I had to carve them out with a knife before we could close the lid so that the motor could run. Considering the price, this was inexcusable. | 0negative

Right material but kind of flat
I bought this pillow to replace a memory foam neck pillow I lost while traveling. It helped with my neck and shoulder pain and made hotel pillows more comfortable. However, this new one is too flat and doesn't give me as much support as I need. It's better than the microbead ones in Walmart and Target, and it's better than nothing, but I don't love it. | 0negative

Great kitchen towels
These are fantastic! In fact, I will be ordering another set of these. Luxurious texture, great to dry dishes with, and looks great hanging in the kitchen. Very nice product. | 1positive

Beauty is Only Skin Deep...
I purchased this unit along with a friend and we were both very unsatisfied by the quality of coffee this beautiful machine produced. I'll keep this review short: it is not powerful, is fragile, and does not make a consistent cup of coffee (I know all of the tricks, I used to be a barrista in Milan). For the best machine under [this price], try the Rancilio Silvia 90. With the extra money you save, you can buy a matching Rancilio Rocky Grinder. | 0negative

KitchenAid Professional 600
My husband had been telling me for a while to get a stand mixer. Quite frankly I didn't think I would use it. Well, I was wrong, I have had this mixer for over a year now and I use it so much that it has a permanent place on my counter top. Some of the things I use it for are Mashed Potatoes (I've done up to 10 pounds), Meatloaf, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, White Bread Dough, Doggie cookies, Cake Mix and Whipping Cream.We also have the pasta maker and ravioli maker attachment, they are a really cool feature, but just too much work for me. I highly recommend this stand mixer. We did post a video on YouTube demonstrating some of items above. If you are interested, just search WeRmudfun on YouTube. | 1positive

Cook's Illistrated Recommended
I have become a true believer in America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illistrated so when I needed a chef's knife I turned to them and this is the knife that won out. It is a great price, light weight (good for smaller hands), and is a dream to work with. I am finding myself looking forward to making dinner now. Between this knife and their technique tips, you just can't go wrong. | 1positive

It took a few extra days to get my shipment. The curio cabinet is beautiful and my mother loves it. Thank you so much.
I chose five stars because I really liked the cabinet it shows the items inside beautifully with a light inserted. | 1positive

Bayberry candle for Christmas
The candles were quite nice, and fulfilled the need for a bayberry candle to burn as a Christmas Eve tradition. I only wish the candles came in a box, so the unused candle could be saved for another time without fear of being damaged. But that's a minor issue that does not take away from our satisfaction with the product. | 1positive

Buy a Metal Whiks and Better Cookware
I didn't think I could use a metal whisk on my Circulon Pots but Customer Service told me that yes I can.Good thing, becuase I bought this whisk and it is weak. Metal chisk works much better. | 0negative
