I purchased this timer as a "time-out" timer for my daughter. I have it set on 5 minutes and I just hit start and the digital sand starts going. When 5 minutes is up, it flashes red and has a light beeping sound to alert both me and my daughter when time-out is over. Watching the digital sand fall keeps her busy for a ...

With all the shoddy workmanship and our generation's tendency to dispose of so many things, it's nice to actually find a product that is well made (in England, not China)and works great. $300 is a lot of cash to be shelling out for a toaster (you could get a oven for that price) when all it does is TOAST, for heaven's ...

I bought the items for dungeness crabs. The items were supposed to be used, but they were actually new. The basket is about one half the size of the pot, so I should have bought the larger size. The burner and pot worked fine.

Stores in the Boston area get about twenty dollars plus tax for equivalent quality bags. Bags arrived in less than a week. This is a good product.

We bought the Frog cuz we thought it looked cute...just like everyone else. This humidifier was designed so poorly (and cheap) that you can expect water everywhere, everytime you touch it. Not my kind of fun. This CRANE frog humidifier should be sold at the Dollar Store for $5.00 I still wouldn't buy it, but at least y...

Perfectly functional timer, but it is harder to use than you would think - a little tricky to toggle back and forth between timers. totally works, just not as easy to use as other timers.

This product is very low quality. The parts made of particle boards do not fit together and look really cheap. We returned to Amazon without any problem.

Relatively happy with this, it doesn't hold a large volume of stuff to fry, but it serves its purpose for my 15 year old when he comes home from school and wants to fix something to eat. The lid isn't very sturdy and is hard to snap on, so we mostly just leave the lid off.

TheReflections Placemats 4-Pack, Merlotare quite lovely to look at, comfortable to the touch, and resistant to dirt.

I was very excited to receive this item from myself for Christmas. Though some of the reviews made me a bit wary I was willing to take the risk for the low price. Here's what I've found after having used it many times in the past 3 weeks:This grill works pretty darn well, but not perfectly. If you add water to the drip...

This product does nor circulate enough air to cover even a small room, and in addition, the base is not sturdy enough. I tried it for about 10 minutes and decided this product was not for me. It is not worth the price.

We bought this juicer and have used it for the last two weeks. I knew from the beginning it wasn't the one for me. First, the juice cup does not stay close to the machine and so a bunch of the juice will run out all over the counter. I had to have a second person come just to hold it at an angle. Second, if you want to...

I am currently stationed in South Korea for a year, and this product has made my bare spring dorm mattress feel like my mattress from home. The topper is very dense (in my opinion) and is a true memory foam topper, not just a plain foam topper. You can normally feel the springs through the top of my mattress by itself,...

I bought mine in 2005, it's delivered on everything from bread dough to egg-white meringue. I prefer this stand mixer with the flip up head rather than the bowl w/ crank arm because you can remove the bowl without tilting it.

I bought this set over a year ago. Although it is on the smaller side, I have to say it is probably the second most used pot in our household (the first being the 2 1/2 qt shallow commercial anodized sauce pan!). It works well for meals for my family of four. I routinely boil 1 pound of pasta or approx. 5 lbs of cubed ...

I had the same problem "leugim ttol" had. After a year and a half of limited use, it died. There was a thick molasses-like substance on the bottom of the pitcher where you stick it into the base. The substance made it so that the base couldn't turn the blades. I fixed it the first time by taking a screw driver and stic...

Everything came as described. This set works great. Even though it says you can use metal utensils on it, I still stick with plastic. Only thing I would change is adding a more 'medium' pot. The set comes with a tiny 1 qt, small 2 qt and gigantic 6 qt.

Aside from the broken little pumice foot stone , this hard to find item in Canada is perfect for people who like to soak in the tub. It holds all of your accessories, is adjustable and nice and wide - just deep enough. Love it. Have chosen not to use the book rest so cannot comment

Great geometric pattern woven into the fabric. I have only straight lines in my house and this pattern went well in the great room. Good color with my other furnishings, and a good match with accent pillows and leather chair in great room. I wish the hem treatment had been a bit nicer, but OK for every day use. Overall...

Works nice, overall, for all that it offers. I was hoping for a little larger baking pan/area. It's a bit deceptive when you see the chicken, pototoes, vegetables cooking in the picture but, in reality, I don't think all that would fit in it.

If you need help staying awake then this is the clock for you. It's just your basic, inexpensive, little alarm clock; simple to operate and easy to read. It is, however, very lightweight and flimsy, and one of the loudest ticking clocks I have ever encountered. Put it on your nightstand next to the bed any time you nee...

My wife used this blender to grind groats (oats with the healthy bits) to make baby food. Last time she used it, it started to smell like burning rubber. This time, there were "great big puffs of smoke" coming out of it- the blades appear to have binded to blender, and they no longer turn.Aside from that, even when it ...

it started getting stuck during oscillation within 24 hours, pausing all the way to the left before resuming normal rotationthe 'stuck' pause got longer and longer, until about 6 weeks after purchase it stopped even turning on AT ALL - it's completely broken and i've owned it less than 2 months

First, this tree is REEEAAAALLY heavy. The tree comes in 5 sections that are supposed to be marked A,B,C,D and E.

I bought this because I needed a larger cutting board. I figured that 19 inches was about the largest that could still be washed in the sink; that turned out to be pretty accurate. The single handle on the side is a good arrangement for hanging this board on a hook, although it is a little heavy for adhesive wall hooks...

A basically featured travel alarm clock(clock/alarm/snooze/folds). Simple to use.

The dimensions given for this loveseat cover are WAY off... It is a sofa sized cover in a loveseat bag! I bought this at the store itself, brought it home, and now have to return it because of all of the extra material in this thing!!! Look elsewhere if you want a nice looking slipcover!

As expected from other reviews, the griddle takes a long time to warm up--at least 20 minutes. Once warmed up it cooks evenly and holds temp well. I am satisfied with it so far. Its large size makes it convenient for cooking large amounts at one time.

This clock radio has the WORST radio reception. It's pointless to have a radio alarm when you wake up to static. It's awful and I wish I never bought it. The light is also too bright (and that's on the low setting). The ONLY thing I like about this clock is that it has two alarms (good if you have a significant other) ...

This is quite sturdy, and the magnets are strong. They hold even a large chef knife with no problem. Depending how you arrange your knives, and what utensils you have to hang, it might get a bit crowded, but it has been a boon in my kitchen which has very little drawer space or counter space. Absolutely a great deal.

I tested this thermometer against 7 others, 3 of them Oregon Scientifics. All 7 were within plus or minus one degree, but the BAR608HGA base unit was off by over 3.

Thank Goodness for 30 day return policies!! These were absolutely terrible. As everyone previously stated, I didn't know I had to boil the potatoes first. I quickly assumed that after 5 min of use.

The folks who thought that this is a great fan are 100% correct. It does everything you paid for in such a manner that impresses the most critical. It replaces a $10 Honeywell completely. The Honeywell on low speed is louder than the Vornado on high speed. The amount of air moved is terrific. Our air-conditioning bill ...

I own the Overture magnum, white wine and champagne glasses. I love them. They look and feel delicate without being overly fragile.

I'm not sanguine about storing things in plastic, so when I was looking for a large-size refrigerator jug for fruit water and iced tea or coffee, I looked at the glass containers first.

Connecting an HP notebook to an HP Printer. Use the HP wireless upgrade. Doesn't that sound like a no-brainer?

I originally purchased this product in December 2000. After 3 months it stopped working - no idea why. Customer service was accomodating and we got it fixed.

This clock is difficult to setup and operate. In an age where we have iPods, iPhones and Wiis, I can't believe Honeywell would manufacture and sell something that is so non-intuitive, clunky and stupid.

While this product seems similar to Scent-Sation Whispersilk, it's NOT. I have used Whispersilk for years and they held up beautifully. The "Satin Alternative" pilled within the first month. Additionally, the stitching and labels were sewn on the the soft side so as to imply that they are to be used on the flat side.
