lukewarm coffee and poor service
I was really happy when I first bought this unit. It seemed like it would be everything you would want in a coffee machine, all in one unit.So I set it up and brewed my first pot of coffe. Everything worked fine until I tasted the coffee. Not quite hot enough.So I checked the manual. As other reviewers mentioned, the manual says the coffee is brewed at 200 degrees and maintained at 180 degrees. Not!!!! My coffee was brewed at 170 and maintained around 160. Definitely not hot enough.So I emailed Capresso. They wrote back that I should definitely send it in for service.So I did.And they sent it back to me, unrepaired.It still brewed coffee at 170 and maintained around 160.So I tried calling them.And I tried on and off for about 4 hours to call them.And their phone system would answer, and tell me to hold. Then after five minutes on hold, it would say everyone was too busy. It would tell me to call back later and then hang up on me.So I took the unit back to the store and bought another brand.Because of the lukewarm coffee and poor service, I cannot recommend this product. | 0negative

Made in China
Are they beautiful? Yes. Are they heavy-duty? Yes. Are they helping me not buy plastic disposable straws that are also made in China? Well, yes. But...The impetus for even considering buying glass or stainless steel straws was when I looked at the bag of plastic straws we always buy and saw that they were made in China. I really wanted to buy the $30 Glass Dharma straws but this seemed like a more economical bargain. Now I know why.Be warned - these SS straws are made in China. So instead of getting the green, non-toxic, BPA-free drinking straw experience that I was seeking, now I have to worry about toxins, chemicals, poor manufacturing, and every other potential problem with products made in China.Next time, I'll just spring for the Glass Dharma straws. The $20 difference is probably worth it. | 0negative

Zyliss Bottle Topper, Assorted Colors - Greatest topper ever!
I have been using this style of Zyliss bottle topper for wine for 6 years and they are absolutely great. They work extremely well and do not leak. They make great gifts when giving wine as a gift! I need to pruchase more and cannot find them for sale. I live in a small town and the store that was selling them went out of business. Does anyone know where to find this style of Zyliss bottle toppers for sale????? | 1positive

breaks easily; "limited warranty" requires that you pay to fix it
this was a great product, but broke after just two years, emitting a strong burnt odor despite being cleaned regularly. in order to use the warranty, you have to find a huge cardboard box, ship it via insured courier to tennessee, and pay kaz $10 - a total of $60 or so - just so that they can look at it. i don't see the point of a warranty if their defective product requires that the customer spend $60 on a $130 product. | 0negative

Completely unsatisfactory
I've had this almost a week and I will be returning it tomorrow. This thing is another "Corn-Baller" (reference to Arrested Development TV show). The steam vents are right next to the handle, exactly where you would naturally put your thumb when picking it up. There's one steam vent for your left thumb if you pick it up left-handed and another steam vent for your right thumb if you pick it up with your right hand. I've this for six days so far and I've had burned thumbs for three of those days. That steam is hot.When I bought it (Bed Bath & Beyond) I looked at all of the other hot-water makers and wondered why I should consider paying for more than the cheapest - hot water is hot water, right? Why should I spend $50 for hot water when I can have it for $14.99? But after jumping around the kitchen holding my thumb in the air and saying "ow ow ow ow" on three days in one week, I'm ready to spend whatever it takes to get hot water without painful personal injury.Is this thing really legal in the United States? | 0negative

Great coffeemaker - highly recommend buying!
I am so glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews regarding this coffeemaker and chose to buy it anyway.I have owned many coffeemakers and none have ever compared to the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffeemaker DGB-600BC. This coffeemaker not only looks great in my kitchen but makes an excellent pot of coffee.Unlike many of the reviews I had absolutely none of the problems that people have described. The thermos is well made, easy to use and has never dripped. However, I did read the manual thoroughly before using this coffeemaker so I knew what I was doing. It does pay to read the manual!Even though it's necessary to clean and dry the parts before making another pot of coffee it's no big deal. The parts come out easily, are a cinch to clean and fit right back into place with no fuss.I love that it grinds the beans right in the coffeemaker and I don't have to grind the beans separately and then put them in the coffeemaker.I highly recommend this coffeemaker. I use to regularly go out to coffee shops for lattes and mochas, but not anymore. This makes such great coffee I now don't have the need to go out and spend way too much money on lattes and mochas. Even though this coffeemaker is on the expensive end, the money I save not going out for coffee will definitely make up for the cost.If you buy this coffeemaker and read the manual, in my opinion, you won't regret it. | 1positive

Best can opener one could buy!
Dont waste any $$ on a electric can opener. This thing will open a #10 can in seconds! Should have got one of these a long time ago! Not one problem. You do need to watch your speed cause you could flip a can open faster than you could grab it. | 1positive

Worst Coffeemaker
This is without a doubt, the worst and messiest coffeemaker we ever had and will never buy a Kitchen aid again. Only had it a week and 4 times it made a big mess all over the coffeemaker and the counter. We've had enough! | 0negative

Paint washes off
Upon first washing, the paint around the bottom peeled off in a long strip. Although the product description says the pitcher is dishwasher safe, the sticker on the bottom says hand wash. I went the safer route and hand washed and still had paint come off. | 0negative

Coffee Expert
The machine will make great coffee and espresso but beware, after the warranty the machine is guaranteed to break. The transmission went bad right after the warranty expired. There is no local store to go to to fix it (Washington DC) so we had to send it to NY. It was going to cost $500 to repair the machine.DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE OR FROM THIS COMPANY! | 0negative

Great suction; but have to clean after every use & that's messy
Pros: The suction on this thing is incredible, and the vacuum is very light to vacuum stairs, BUT:Cons: the suction power vastly decreases after even one use on a couple roomsI end up having to clean it about every other time I use it, and because it's bagless, cleaning it means banging out the filter as you are surrounded by a cloud of disgusting dust. Yes you can hose it off, but that means getting out your hose and it's really a whole production to clean; also using the hose it hard on the filter and if you use a stream hard enough to blow out the dust that gets lodged in between the fins of the poorly-designed filter, you are also likely to damage/tear the filter.Also, this thing is LOUD--I mean it is louder than my circular saw. If you are vacuuming in a small room with hard floors it is so loud I can't use it for more than 30 seconds.It also does blow dust bunnies away from it as you are trying to vacuum since it stupidly vents out the front.The only reason I can't say "Don't buy it" is that I have not found another vacuum that is this light in weight with this kind of suction power, but as soon as I find one I will get rid of this poorly-designed vacuum. | 0negative

Universal piece of crap
If you have a pot, something that you would cook pasta in, this will be fine. If you are buying this for a frying pan, DO NOT BUY IT. It is too big to fit almost any frying pan, so that when you try to put it on the pan, it just hits the frying pan's handle and will not close. Quality seemed to be fine, but I never could use mine bc it did not fit on anything I owned. Universal (lol). | 0negative

Waste of money
Ok... so I purchased this dresser for my children's bedroom ...1st of all when it was delivered the deliverer refused to help us bring it upstairs to the bedroom where it'd be in & it's one big awkward HEAVY box So we had to open it up & carry it in parts up the stairs ...The material was not what I expected It is made of particle-board Not even wood The only part of the actual dresser frame that appears to be wood or "better" material is the top The drawers are the poorest quality part of this dresser The sides & backs are made of some "drift-wood" type of wood that is so leight-weight & hollow feeling... the bottoms of the drawers are made out of a extremely flimsy board... I've seen cardboard boxes that were tougher & sturdier We we missing hardware pieces & had to go to the local hardware store to get some The tracks for the drawers are such poor quality that the drawers stick & bump & don't glide like the really should After we finally got it assembled, which will either take an entire day, or for us it took 2 partial days (cause we have jobs & lives) So when I was pushing it across the floor to where I wanted it a piece of the particle board crumbled off! right in the front! (bottom) Whatever... so we're trying to make it work... because afterall we needed the dresser, otherwise we wouldn't have purchased it ...So upon REGULAR usage pieces, screws & hardware come loose It's like falling apart everytime we put a drawer in or out & when I put laundry away I have to actual reassemble to drawers everytime I put clothes in It's only being used for children's clothing so you wouldn't expect it buuuuut the wood/cardboard of the drawers is so poor that it cracks, splinters, flops, droops It's just all around a piece of garbage Everytime we open an upper drawer the one below it, or all 3 on one side, open simutaneously because all the drooping drawers are stuck w/in themselves Long story short... it was noooooothing we expected it to be... or needed! We just wasted our money... had it for like a month... & next garbage day this splintered pile of waste is going out! | 0negative

Great office solution.
This is a great product. Unlike the other similar products in Amazon, this one is not make of plastic, so it is not just a bowl with a lid and a vent. This container heats the soup evenly and without a mess. I use it in my office to eat soups for lunch. | 1positive

The Perfect Mountain Dew Can Crusher
I was sick and tired of stomping Mountain Dew cans and having them fly all over the place, so I spent my husbands hard earned cash on this can crusher. It does the job! I stick my can in, take the handle, push it down with hardly any strength and watch my can fall into my garbage can underneath. A great product that is worth every penny! | 1positive

Awesome Idea, breaks to easily
I used the bullet daily to make frozen cappuccino drinks and after three months of use the attachement that turns the motor broke into several pieces. If the attachment was made to withstand continual use the item would be given 5 stars. In short, excellent idea, needs to be built better! | 0negative

Bulletproof
These are the most versitile sheets on the market. They are bulletproof, rough and can be used for collecting leaves in the yard, painting drop cloth, and other heavy industrial uses. I can imagine wet they could cut through steel too. Also sandpaper, 100 grit or emery paper to sand down pipes or deburr copper pipesYou can sleep on them too, and if someone tries to shoot you while you sleep these sheets will probably stop a .45 round at close range. Soft? Hell no, we don't need soft. These sheets are so hard they probably will be used to line hulls of the new battleships.Get the picture? | 0negative

inconvient
Found the design of this dryer inconvient. I also found it much too small for 2 people to dry clothes that we do not put in the dryer. Thought the Polder two-tier dryer would work as we have limited space. | 0negative

This machine is a winner
My Zojirushi has just baked loaf #7. My previous machine a DAK purchased in 1984 eventually died after walking off the kitchen counter one time too many.So far I've had seven perfect loaves, the crusts are crisp, tasty, the loaf has perfect consistency, and great texture. The dough rises to the right height every time (unlike my DAK). I think this machine's success at consistently raising the dough is due to the fact that it preheats the ingredients before starting the bread making process. This maximizes yeast growth and a higher rising dough means lighter, more airy, tastier bread. At no time did the bread fall after rising.I read numerous reviews before making this purchase. This machine was also recommended in the King Authur's Flour of Norwich, Vermont catalog. From previous posts here at Amazon I noticed comments about the paddle gaskets failing. To ensure I don't have this problem I make sure the paddles are fitted to it's shaft correctly before using, and I put a little olive oil on the rubber gaskets after the machine is cleaned up and ready to be put away.I am enjoying the wholesome goodness of home made bread, and it's wonderful. | 1positive

Love these!
I thought I wrote a review for these filters a long time ago, but I hadn't!I purchased the faucet kit when I first moved a year ago. I have purchased these every two months since then.This whole filter system is great! In my opinion the system is very compact, easy to install, and use.These filters work great and I have no problem with water pressure, like I have seen some people complain about.I fill 2-quart pitchers for crystal light and tea multiple times a week and the pitches take no longer than a minute to fill up.I would buy this system for any other home I live in for the rest of my life! | 1positive

Awful
I read the reviews before I purchased this item. The good reviews verses the bad reviews were 50/50. And also, depending on which retailer who sold the item, some reviews were better than others. After purchasing the Jokari Soda Dispenser, I followed the directions, but, to no avail. The soda would dispenser very slowly until the bottle was half full and would become flat soon afterwards. I will be returning this product back to its manufacturer. | 0negative

Big disappointment!
This clock was a huge disappointment! Beautiful to look at but will not keep accurate time. I tried using the radio signal, which I could not get to work after many trials, and then tried to set it manually....thinking that I could at least use it that way. Was I ever wrong! It will not keep accurate time....loses 5 to 10 minutes or more every day! Sure wish I had not wasted my money!! | 0negative

Great features for the price
I consider myself a weather nut. I own a Davis weather station with its own web site, and follow the weather religiously each day.I wanted a little "weather station" for the bedroom, a step above a simple outdoor thermometer. This thing is really cool. It has a built-in barometer that detects rising and falling pressures. Like all weather stations, except those that receive forecasts from an external source, it uses that information to predict the weather. That is the purposes of the "little boy" display. Rain/Snow clouds will be shown if the pressure has been falling along with him holding an umbrella. His attire is determined solely by the current outside temperature. The unit does not predict the temperature for the day (no weather station does except those that receive broadcasts from weather sites). So if you wake up and the temperature is 40 degrees or less, he will be shown wearing a scarf even if the high temperature is going to be something like 70 degrees. Of course, his attire will change through the course of the day as the temperature outside rises/falls.The outdoor temperature sensor seems accurate. It is usually within 1-2 degrees of my main weather station. Like all weather stations, you should try and keep the outdoor temperature sensor out of direct sunlight to avoid wide temperature fluctuations.The unit also has a clock that receives 915 MHz WWVB shortwave broadcasts. This keeps the clock accurate.One pleasant surprise is the theoretical battery life. According to the manufacturer, you can expect a 2 year running time in both the indoor station and the wireless outdoor temperature transmitter. Having owned a similar Sharper Image station whose batteries I had to replace every 5-6 months, I sure hope that is true.Finally, the unit activates an LED backlight when a button is pressed, shows you the moon phase, sunrise time, sunset time, sun duration, date, indoor temperature and indoor humidity. It also has an alarm clock, although I have never used it, and will record the min/max temperature for both indoor and outdoor sensors as well as the min/max for the indoor humidity sensor.For me, this ranks as one my best purchases for the money. The unit does everything it advertises and does it well. | 1positive

Honeywell 3 speed Fan
The fan is everything stated. Very quiet, and moves a great amount of air. Glad I bought it. | 1positive

hose too short
I guess I assumed that portable AC units would be portable beyond 6 feet from the window. Clearly these products are designed for situations where a window unit cannot be employed because of the window and the weight it can support.The exhaust hose is literally 8 ft long and does not allow you to place the unit between two rooms or move it around the house as needed (because you would need to connect it to a different window) - which is what I thought they were.Buyer beware...if you intended to use it as it is designed, works fine. The unit is a little large, but it does pump out a lot of cool air. | 0negative

What a hassle
I bought these because I like the shape of cube they make and they are cool looking. Unfortunately, they are not worth the trouble. Getting a cube out is a total pain in the neck. You can't stack them until they are frozen or the cubes freeze funny and they are even MORE difficult to get out. Also, when wrestling with the thing to get cubes out the silicone between the cubes has pulled apart. So now I can't fill up the outside cubes on two of my trays. I guess the only pro with these are the cube it makes. I like the old style, perfect cube that they make but they are a total headache. | 0negative

Not recommended!
I was very excited when I ordered my Dirt Devil Platinum Force Carpet Extractor. And I am always amazed how fast amazon.com is able to ship things! But when it arrived the Dirt Devil Carpet Cleaner was broken, the motor did not work. I reported my problem that night and Amazon had UPS pick up the cleaner at my door the very next morning, with no cost to me. Within just days a new Dirt Devil arrived at my door as a replacement. So I happily started cleaning - but unfortunately this cleaner lasted only 4 minutes (!) , then the suction motor broke down, I was so very disappointed. I really wanted a carpet cleaner because I have 2 dogs and I really appreciate Amazon's costumer service. I decided to give it another try and ordered the "Hoover F7425-900 SteamVac V2 with SpinScrub Hand Tool" from amazon.com. It is a little more expensive but the difference to the Dirt Devil is huge! It seems so much stronger build and has done a really, really good job on my carpet! And it is not expensive to buy an extended warranty for the Hoover, so even Dirt Devil offers the 2 year warranty it is not worth its money. I now always prefer Amazon to any other seller as their costumer service is just the best. But I do not recommend the Dirt Devil CE7900 to anyone. | 0negative

Useless utelsils, will crack when dry and can't be washed!
These utensils cant be washed in the dishwasher or submerged in the sink. So essentially you arent supposed to wash them or they will warp and then fall apart. I dont see the point in utensils you cant get wet!? I originally bought them because I like how bamboo is an environmentally sustainable material, and I do not like to use plastic. But these are just completely useless, and if you put too much pressure on them when they are dry they will just crack! Please do not buy these, they are only decoration and not real. | 0negative

It's all been said...
I can't add much to the previous reviews... I love them, too. They're very comfortable, convenient, and easy-care. I have very small hands and my husband has very large hands, and we both find these OXO tongs to be very comfortable and versatile. Another great OXO product! | 1positive

Great for signage...
I am a designer and was looking for a frame that would work as signage to identify each product used in our showroom displays.

I am very happy with how our showroom is turning out. | 1positive

A wonderful product
Bought the Tilia foodsaver from an infomercial. It does everything they said it would do. We use it mostly to seal mason jars filled with salad, soup, vegetables, etc. All the food that used to go bad quickly (strawberries, mushrooms, lettuce) now has a reasonable shelf life in the refrig. A cut up a head of lettuce will stay fresh in a sealed mason jar for over a week. The bags seal tight as well, and stay sealed.As for quality, we've had it over a year, we use it every day, and it still works like new. Just can't praise this product enough. | 1positive

Excellent product
I have been using Proendorphin for years. I use it maybe once a week when I am dragging and it really works without giving you the jitters. I also helps mentally a little. We recently found out that my wife, who is very sensitive to caffeine and cannot even drink it in small quantities, can use this product. She only takes 1/2 a packet because she is very sensitive to this also, but it actually works for her. This, of course, keeps me happier because my wife is now less grumpy :) | 1positive

Comfortable but smelly.
Received the mattress topper 2 days after purchasing (chose regular shippping). The topper was vacuum sealed and just needs to be aired out. I would let the topper air outas well for the smell! There is a horrible smell that I am sure is from the chemicals that are used to make it. Other than that the first night that we used the topper on our bed we both slept great! I just hope the smell goes away. | 1positive

Pickin' & a-grinnin'!

Ew! Whats that SMELL??
I got this as a gift last Christmas, and mine also came with a metal holder. The problem with the holder is that the pan doesnt sit evenly on top, so the muffins on the sides come out lopsided-if they come out at all.Call me lazy, but after using this I threw it in the dishwasher and found out that the non-stick spray will not wash off, instead it creates a sticky mess that I still havent been able to remove from the pan.By far though, the WORST part of this thing is the nasty smell that floods my house when Im baking. Its so toxic smelling, Its hard to want to eat after pulling it out of the oven.On the upside though, the muffin pan is not nearly as awful as the KitchenAid silicone baking mat. | 0negative

Started unravelling almost immediately
I ordered these bath sheets and started using them. I immediately noticed threads floating around. I thought it was just left over strings. Then I found otherwise. These were the threads that sew the end part of the towel together. So half of that end cover part was already hanging off.They will still make a nice drying towel for when I wash my car. | 0negative

Doesn't leak, fills bottles rapidly
I purchased this item to replace a cheaper version my brew starter kit provided me. This is by far a superior item.It does not leak when attached to my bottling bucket and it fills bottles a lot quicker than the other model I used, one with a plastic filament that tended to get stuck and cause spilled/wasted beer :(It cleans well with soap, water, and a brush. I definitely recommend this for fellow brewmeisters. | 1positive

Farberware Classic 12-inch fry pan
My wife and I have two of the 12 inch pans and a10 inch pan, they are the best pans for cooking large meals. When you want to make double tunahelper or spainish rice you have the right size.It is also great for frying chicken,it is the best pan,and my children owen them also. | 1positive

Not as classic as stated
Although "original" it is suprisingly cheap. I thought the product from Italy had more refinement. It is an alloy with crude edging, nicks and a poor engraving of the logo and signature. I don't dispute that it is simple to use but perhaps it would be better if made of stainless steel (and I don't mean from India). | 0negative

Not well thought out
Very poor product. The electronics work well but it is impossible to seal in the window for use without using a great deal of ugly foam or tape. It just plain does not fit an aluminum window.It is light and easy to handle and looks good. The amount of air that it moves is marginal at best. On high speed it is also a bit noisy. | 0negative

love my mixer
I was given the kitchenaid mixer for christmas from my husband and I love it. I looked at all the reviews listed about the poor quality of some but I have had great experiences with mine. I have used it for a lot of baking since I got it and have had no trouble with it. When you use it once you are hooked, it beats mixing by hand anyday. | 1positive

Get an older model...
I really can't understand why usually newer products aren't as good as older ones.What's wrong with the older design of an aextractor that will eject the pulp to a removable container?Why do I have to open the unit and take it apart just to clear the pulp?Buttom line: If you plan to juice more than a few carrots for you morning juice - forget about this usit. | 0negative

You get what you pay for - Consider upgrading
The coffee maker makes a great cup of coffee but you'll notice a consistent theme in the reviews - the main problem being the carafe. (Replacement carafes cost $5 more than replacing the entire coffee maker!)Over the past 15 years (we really like the coffee maker!) we have gone through three of these carafes - only to have them fail or break. They dribble coffee - have a cheap plastic hinge, and are the most fragile item we have to wash in our sink every day. As some reviews state, you just have to be careful - but then most of us are usually half asleep when we make our coffee.After the plastic drip stop mechanism on the coffee maker broke, we recently upgraded to the KF600. It has a sturdy metal thermal carafe and makes the same great cup of coffee. Paying a few extra bucks should prevent us from replacing anymore carafes. | 0negative

They look nice until you wash them!
I purchased these towels on a whim, and when they arrived they looked and felt like they were very nice quality. When I washed them, the sides of the towels came apart and frayed to the point that I would not want to use them for anything but wiping up a spill. This purchase was very disappointing. | 0negative

Very disappointed
After having used the Dyson DC14 for 3+ years now I know I would not purchase another Dyson. There is no doubt that the machine has power when it comes to suction, but there are several deal-breakers that don't make it worth the price...at least for me. 1) I can't get close enough to walls or baseboards with the machine so I have to get down on my hands and knees to pick up what the Dyson can't. I would think with the suction power it has this wouldn't be an issue, but it is. 2) Cleaning it is a mess and for the amount of money a Dyson costs I shouldn't have to go through this to simply empty the canister. Every time I use it a lot of the dirt and dust can't come out because it's caught between the cylinder and the canister, and also because the dirt and dust catches in the holes at the top. I have to take it apart or use a wooden spoon to try to dislodge the dirt. 3) When I open the canister at the bottom to empty it dust goes everywhere which means I've just vacuumed my house only to have the dirt and dust fly everywhere when trying to empty it. 4) The tools that accompany the machine have never stayed on the hose. A simple latch system would have kept this from happening but it's as though Dyson is banking on their name and not putting much money into little conveniences. I try to attach a tool to the hose only to have it come off every time I try to use it.Whatever my next vacuum purchase is, it won't be a Dyson unless they come up with some serious design improvements. I'd rather go back to an upright with a bag. Sure - you always have to make sure you have a replacement bag, but at least there's no muss or fuss when emptying it. I'm giving it 2 stars for the suction power. | 0negative

Nice value
What started as a little spurge to make my kitchen counter look more updated ended up as a good bargain. For $10, this canister looks great, and does a good job. It is weighted on the bottom so it avoids tipping over. It also cleans easily with Windex. A really nice, functional accent for a kitchen. | 1positive

This was good, but not great. I wanted a silkier feel but these are fine for my needs. I would look for a slightly different texture for my next purchase. | 1positive

good for vegetable and cooked food
I have two cutting board. One is for un cooked and another is for cooked and ready-to-eat food. It is good to use every day.I have not found any disadvantage yet, except it is thin and can not hold water to flow around it. | 1positive

WHY DOES IT LEAK/
I BOUGHT THIS QUEEN SIZED RAISED PREMIER AEROBED ABOUT 1-1/2 YRS AGO. IT HAS ONLY BEEN USED INDOORS ABOUT 5 TIMES (AS A GUEST BED)AND IS STORED IN A CLOSET. WHEN I INFLATED IT YESTERDAY IT APPARENTLY HAS A SLOW LEAK AND WOULD HAVE TO BE RE-INFLATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THOUGH IT IS COMFORTABLE, I SURE EXPECTED MORE FROM A $250 BED!! | 0negative

I don't like it but we're still using it
We bought ours at a Target and the lid does not stay on and would fall off if not held in place. Also the orange plastic piece that snaps on the handle persistently comes off. We would return this if it didn't involve a 40 minute train ride out to the Target near us. Maybe the ones sold on Amazon are of a different stock and are not defective. Normally we're a huge brita fan - not so much with this purchase. | 0negative

I'd give 10 stars if I could!
This is the first review I've done on Amazon, but want everyone to know how wonderful this product is!!! I was waking up nearly every morning with such horrible back pain that I had to basically throw myself over if I needed to turn over. I was also stiff and could tell I'd been sleeping for a while. I've only slept on this topper for one night so far, but when I woke up this morning I felt as light as a feather - with no stiffness or soreness!!! It is amazing! I had used a 1" memory foam topper before, that I bought at a major discount center, but was unimpressed. I was seriously considering cancelling my order. I am so glad I didn't! If you are having back pain or stiffness, you owe it to yourself to at least try this. It has worked wonders for me! | 1positive

Good product
I received this as a gift and have since given it to a couple of friends. We are all very happy with it. I am 74 years old, with arthritis and a taste for a good wine. All other corkscrews, even the vaunted rabbits, were hard for me to use. This is so easy, even my hurting hands can deal with it. Works great on regular corks and composite corks; a bit less well with some of the plasticated stoppers. HIghly recommend. | 1positive

Conair steamers are not worth the price
I have this Conair steamer and after limited useage it became very moody. Within 5 minutes the steam vent goes from normal flow to little steam to no steam at all. The water tank is completely full and the "water shortage" light continues to turn on. After playing w/ the shortage water button and it stays turned off it takes a long time for the steam to return and then it is very little. There is no constant flow of steam, I have to wave the hose around or grab the bottom of the steamer and move it back & forth and still must wait for the steam to flow. A friend of mine had the same Conair steamer to steam bridal & formal gowns and her steamer did the same thing as mine. When you need to steam garments and don't have hours to play around w/ the steamer, praying to get steam, DO NOT BUY THIS STEAMER. | 0negative

Poor quality, impossible to assemble
I was completely disappointed with these lanterns. First of all, who knew they would arrive unassembled? They were so difficult to put together, and they came with absolutely no assembly instructions. The paper in the lanterns is so thin that when you try to insert the wires that convert from flat to round structures they all tear. It was a mess. In addition, after I finally got one of two lantern sets assembled (which took two weekends)and hung them up outside (with many torn and disfigured lanterns), the light string went out after two days! The return policy was only for two weeks from date of purchace (and it took over a week for them to be delivered), and the ordeal required to ship them back to the vendor was outrageous. Needless to say, I had to keep these defective, unusable light strings. I would never recommend this vendor nor order anything from them again!Disgusted. | 0negative

Versatile and QUIET Heater
When I used to think of space heaters, I would remember an intrusive, noisey unit. But no more! This Bionaire BH3955-U not only looks good; it is also absolutely quiet. Plus, it also has a modern, sleek design that looks good sitting in the corner of my family room.The choice of opeating modes--lo, high, low-thermostatically controlled, and high-thermstatically controlled--offers me flexibility to meet varing conditions. And the the built-in digital thermometer is handy when I want to check room temperature before turning the unit on. Also, the built-in wheels are handy when moving this unit from one room to another.In order to achieve sides that are cool enough to touch, heat is radiated out the top. In a large room this can be a slight disadvantage.I am very satisfied with this unit, and would certainly consider it for purchase if I was buying this type of heater today. | 1positive

Other reviews were right on
I received this last week and used it twice. I so desperately wanted the other reviews about the design flaws to be wrong but they weren't. The lid is flimsy. I am so afraid it is going to snap right off when I am making the tea or cleaning it. They should have just made the lid lift all the way off like the rubbermaid pitchers, duh. Instead it's attached by this little piece of cheesy plastic that sticks up and gets in the way. You can see it next to the handle in the picture. Also the loose tea leaves do seep right through the little holes in the filter.I just love the size of this. I couldn't find another one that brews loose tea in this size anywhere on the web. I am considering returning it. | 0negative

High quality European china in unique design
For some two years I have been collecting Villeroy & Boch dinnerware and I have yet to be disappointed with this high quality German/Luxemburg line. The distinctive style is what you notice first, but the quality is what keeps you coming back for more. I recommend you start somewhere from amongst their extensive line and see how much you enjoy these and what interested comments you receive from your friends. Then start collecting! | 1positive

Awesome
I did not expect the cutters to come in a metal can to hold them. I bought them for cutting fondant, and they are perfect. The price was exceptional, especially since they are metal, and other cutters are plastic. | 1positive

Don't buy this vacuum..clogs easily
I have the Fantom Fury, it worked really well when it was new, but now (2 years later) its really fragile. The filter has to be cleaned (w/water and air dried) every time I vacuum the floor since the vacuum looses serious suction ability if the filter(s) are not perfectly clean.I bought a bagless vacuum so I wouldn't have to worry about the vacuum everytime I used it. That is no longer the case and is really a pain in the neck.Go buy a hoover..! | 0negative

Been using for three years
I switch the kitchen sink one every three months (its just me here) and bathroom one every six. Love not having any chlorine smell in the water and it tastes great. Read reviews on other filters and they said that the plastic housing breaks, well never had any problem with the Culligan. The only thing they could do to make this product better is to make the filters recyclable! | 1positive

Oxo Steel Can Opener
Oxo Steel Can OpenerThis is another kitchen essential and Oxo has made one that is very ergonomic, as it fits your hand very well. Stainless steel blades make it durable, and the large, soft turning knob is easy to manage. This can opener also features a built-in bottle cap opener, which is handy when you use sauces that have the older sealing cap on the bottle. What I was most impressed with is the large, smooth, plastic twist handle that fits nicely in the palm, this can opener operates with a minimum of effort. I always seem to have hands that are wet or damp making the flexible rubber fins aid in gripping of the handle while absorbing the tension necessary to keep the opener in place, while sharp, stainless-steel teeth bite into lids as a hot knife would make quick work of a stick of butter.Some of the features are:* Brushed stainless-steel handle has flexible rubber fins for comfort* Sharp stainless-steel teeth open cans easily* Large knob is easy to twist* Built-in bottle cap opener* Hand-washing is recommendedSturdy construction and a large twisting knob make this one of the best can openers on the market. I would recommend hand-washing, but this can opener has been in the dishwasher many times, to get any left over liquids or food particles off of the stainless steel. For this purpose I use a toothbrush with a spot of Dawn dish-soap, rinse and pat dry, to get anything that would get sticky off of the opener. When this opener is clean it works as brand new. Most manual can openers that I've used in the past have had a tendency to hang up or run off the lip of the can, but this can opener tracks very well. It stays on the lid without ever jumping off and has incredible ease of operation due to it's large mechanical advantage and handle construction. I am very pleased with this can opener. This product is manufactured in China according to the specifications of the US patent.An epicurean Bon Appetite | 1positive

A really great kitchen gadget
I live in an apartment and can't have a real grill so I purchased the George Forman grill with the 5 removable plates. That was the best decision I made in a while. The grill is on my counter so it can be used daily. I grill chicken or beef to cut up into salads. I recently had surgery on my right shoulder, and the grill is handy for one arm grilling. My daughter loves to make her gilled cheese on it. We make all kinds of sandwiches/paninis on it. I have grilled veggies on it too. Like I said, the best purchase I made in a while. Oh, the removable plates are what make this an every day item. If I could not remove the plates for easy cleaning, it would be sitting in my closet. | 1positive

The Giver is worthwhile for someone of any age to read
I found The Giver to be an interesting book. Lowry did an excellent job presenting concepts that I found hard to grasp, such as not having color. I was impressed with the creativity that she showed and her ability to create an entire fictional community. Lowry deserves all due respect for being able to continuously write about that community and not once contradict herself.The Giver is a book that I believe is suitable for all ages and I highly recomend it to anyone. | 1positive

Nice nursery rocker
I bought this rocker as a gift for my daughter and her husband, who are parents of new triplets. Their nursery is quite small, and they needed a rocker that would fit the space and complement the decor of the room. This rocker fit the bill quite well. A chair with longer rockers at the base would provide more rocking motion, but this one is perfect for the space that they had. It is very sturdy, was well packaged, and the assembly was quite straightforward and the instructions easy to follow. | 1positive

Bricked after 5 minutes
Unit was installed and worked perfectly. For 5 minutes. After that the lights on the unit died but the lights on the plug stayed on. Reset/Test buttons on the plug worked fine. Breakers were fine.Customer service said to just return it.Second one did the exact same thing.Stay away from this and save yourself some frustration.q | 0negative

Works great, but loud and bright
After reading reviews on Amazon, I bought mine at home depot, where it cost a few dollars more, but knowing in advance from other reviews that I might not be able to tolerate the noise, I opted for a local store where return would be easier. I'm considering buying a few more for other rooms now, and would go with Amazon for lower price and free shipping.The hepa filter works great. I use it in my bedroom, usually running it only on the lowest speed and only at night, but it works well enough even at that use level to ensure I have no allergy, dust, or pollen problems while sleeping. The unit is quite loud, even on the lowest setting. I wear disposable foam earplugs to bed at night anyway, which is sufficient to block out the sound, and I actually sleep better with that bit of white noise in the background. What I could not tolerate was the very bright blue led ring around the control dial. At first I carefully put black electrical tape all around the ring, which helped but some light still got past and kept me up. I ended up taking the control panel apart and removing the led. If you want to try it yourself (make sure you unplug the electric cord first!) pop off the gray part of the control panel but just prying up at the bottom of it, then there is an inner white cover over the circuit board. Remove the 3 screws and you will see a single LED in there. Just snip off the 2 leads to the led, cover with a piece of electrical tape so it wont short out, and the problem is solved. The LED really does not serve any useful purpose other than to indicate the unit is on, which is obvious by the fan noise.The hepa filter is also easy to clean, I just take it outside and shake it out in the trash can for the bigger bits like dog hair, run the shop vac over it, and then blow it out from the inside with the air compressor to get the finer dust.I've tried using this machine in other rooms, but it was just too loud. It is difficult to hear a tv or radio over the noise of the fan, I would really only use it in a bedroom if you can sleep through the noise or wear ear plugs to block it out. | 1positive

Very cool
I've been using these for years. I ruined one by putting the plastic lid on it while the oil was still hot - - not at all cool! I love to use it for frying fresh fish, chicken, scones, potatoes, etc etc. So easy and does a great job, small to store away, doesn't use a great deal of oil. Perfect! | 1positive

Battery guzzler
The design is cool and all, but the battery consumption is absolutely ridiculous. It uses *three* batteries, which last about a month. My older Timex alarm clock uses one battery, which lasts at least a year. I wouldn't consider using this clock ethical unless I used it with rechargeable batteries. For now, I'm back to my old clock. | 0negative

Mattress w/ holes!
If I still had the receipt I would return it!We bought it for an upcoming camping event. It went straight from the box it came in, into our vehicle. We inflated it at the camp site, only to discover a rather loud hissing noise coming out of the side wall. It would stay inflated for about an hour, then we would have to reinflate. It was a rough night! | 0negative

Excellent quality utensil rack - sturdy and reasonably priced.
I don't know of another compact utensil rack which competes with this OXO model. It's easy to install and strong enough to hold several pounds per hook, provided that wall anchoring is sufficient. I have several of these and prefer to use the new "self-drilling" drywall anchors instead of the anchors which are included. I've also used heavy duty 3M mounting strips to mount these (without screws) to the side of a refrigerator, where it can support lighter items such as whisks, spatulas and spoons, etc. Another excellent OXO product. | 1positive

GREAT OVEN THAT SOMETIMES WORKS NOW
I've had this over for about 8 months now and have used it very heavily during that time frame. Never found a problem, very user friendly and with the convection feature, I could cook way more than toast. However yesterday, I was cooking an item for about 30 minutes and after about fifteen minutes, I noticed that the fan had stopped and was just buzzing. Motors can overheat and fires have been known to happen from that type of situation. I was able to bang on the side of the fan case and got the fan going again, but I can no longer trust the use of the oven without my being there. It was never maltreated and was always cleaned regular. | 0negative

EXPLODES UNDER PRESSURE!!
I actually used this for over a year and it worked great. Until one evening I pumped it to pressurize, and right after I began spraying there was a loud POP sound & the thing exploded. I had just added oil, not even to the fill line and OIL FLEW EVERYWHERE! Oil was dripping from me, from the ceiling, on & into cabinets, the floor, between appliances, everywhere! It sprayed 8 feet in some directions. It took hours to clean, & for weeks after kept finding little pools of oil in odd locations. Looking at the unit later it appears that the weak point was in the threads of the bottom unit. Beware. | 0negative

One of the best mills I have ever owned
For those who use sea-salt and prefer to purchase it in the natural un-ground form, this is the ONLY mill to use. When you purchase your grey sea-salt in bulk, it is shipped damp and you want to KEEP it damp to preserve its natural benefits and flavor. Nothing but ceramic will stand up to the test of grinding damp salt without corroding the mill itself.This mill has a nice capacity, is easily adjustable, and even has a nice looking design. It should be ideal for peppercorns and other spices as well. | 1positive
