I have had this rotary iron for two months and absolutely adore it. Will admit that I like to iron and coveted this ironing machine for several years before making the substantial financial investment. I also have an Ironite Mangle that I purchased used about five years ago and although I still love the Ironite, the Miele is a major mechanical leap forward. What I love best about the Miele is the foot press that automatically controls the ironing plate. Also like the fact that the iron has three heat settings and actually gets hot enough to quickly iron my Italian cotton sheets. I love to sleep on ironed sheets and pillowcases and I can iron a King size sheet with the Miele in about four minutes. For optimal results you really need to dampen the cotton sheets prior to ironing which I accomplish by spraying the sheets with scented linen water and seasoning in a plastic bag for about 15 minutes before ironing. The linen water (Vodka, Lavender & Peppermint essential oil mixed with water)really provides an aroma therapy effect. So if you have nice linens and want to keep them in excellent condition, the Miele is a must.

My grandmother purchased an Ironrite Mangle in 1955, and it's been the most coveted part of her inheritance to my mother (her daughter-in-law.) A friend of mine has also coveted my mother's Ironrite--and the perfectly pressed cotton shirts that it produces.

Recently, my friend proudly announced that she had a "NEW" Ironrite, and invited me over for a test drive.

The Miele doesn't do a bad job at all; in fact, if I'd never seen an ironing machine before, I'd have been quite impressed.

Having learned to use the Ironrite when I was 11, though, made me aware that it's not nearly as intuitive a machine; and as far as durability is concerned....no.

My TOP recommendation, if you're in the market for an Ironing Machine, is to get online and look for an Ironrite fan club site, and see if anyone's got something for sale in a reasonable radius from you. If you live in Minnesota/Wisconsin, there's a good chance you'll be able to find a working one.

HOWEVER: If you can't find an Ironrite, the Miele is better than an ironing board by a couple of orders of magnitude, and would be worth giving a try if you have a lot of things you like ironed, rather than left 'permapressed' out of the dryer.

This is a terrific machine, even better than I hoped. My husband and I like ironed clothes and sheets, and I don't mind the work that goes into having things crisp and neat. This machine has certainly cut down the time I spend doing that, and is a real pleasure to use.

Honest reviews on Miele B990E Rotary Iron

I agonized over purchasing this rotary iron due to it's high cost. I'm a bit of a neat freak and conventional irons drive me nuts. The Miele rotary iron is a joy to use. Flat items are a breeze ( linens, pillow cases, etc ). Much more effective if the item is slightly damp. It's great for pressing collars and cuffs. Slacks, especially khakis, are more of a challenge. Tee shirts fold superflat after running through the iron. Love the minimalist Miele styling. Only complaint is that the casters are not omnidirectional. It only rolls in one direction. Tilting and rolling to go around corners is a little annoying. Otherwise love it.

I bought this to use at our bed and breakfast. I iron all of the bedding and table linens. I had been ironing everything by hand and was developing some kind of wrist problem before I bought this machine. I have had it for almost 3 years.

I iron, on average 10-15 hours per week. Sometimes I get up and forget I was ironing and come back hours later and the iron is still on. I think the iron has performed thousands of hours of ironing, and many more hundreds of hours because I am absent minded.

It is useful for anything that is square or rectangular. It is difficult to iron fitted sheets because they get caught on the right side of the iron and sometimes can be a pain to unwind.

My only issue with this machine is that it is clunky to move around. I was wheeling it across saltillo tile and one of the (plastic) wheel clips broke. Now I am finding it difficult to buy replacement parts, as well as a new pad for the rotary part, as it is quite flat after all the ironing I've done.

I've tried to iron shirts and other items and haven't had much luck. I'm always afraid I'll iron over a button and break it (just like you frequently get at the dry cleaners!).

I love this machine, it is a workhorse.

We bought this buffet cabinet two years ago from Amazon and really like it. It looks fantastic in our dining area and is great for storing our wine glasses in the glass door portion. Makes for great storage for some of our serving pieces in the doors at the bottom. My main complaint is that the drawers are very small and not useful for much. Also, be aware that you will likely have to attach the unit to the wall to keep it from tipping over (especially if you have young children, like we do). It does come with the attachments. Overall, the quality is good and it looks great and we are glad we bought it.

I typically do not write reviews, however I purchased this after reading reviews of users complaining about the instructions. I am using this in a media room for storage of glasses, wine, spirits, etc. I am not sure where the confusion is for some. If you look at the picture and read the instructions there should be no issue. Perhaps they've changed the instructions or hardware packaging since my more recent order.

Instructions were included for both the buffet and hutch. The hardware needed is packaged in sealed and labeled bags. It is also referenced in the instructions as to which bag of parts you need. The cams and cam locks are high quality, much better than those that typically come with a cheap desk or shelving unit.

As for the build quality it is excellent. The product is made of solid wood, not cheap particle/chip board. The unit is heavy and solid. Like any other wood if you abuse it, it will scratch. However it doesn't seem softer than other furniture I've purchased and assembled. I can't speak to damage regarding shipping as mine arrived undamaged and packaged well.

The holes required for installation were all pre drilled. When installing the black back panels for the unit there are pre-drilled indentations to indicate where screws should be placed. Slats are cut for the wood to slide into for the back panels and drawer bottoms. They are not simply nailed in place with small tacks.

As for the complaints regarding drawer depth, if you are looking to put a standard cutlery tray in this unit you will be disappointed. The drawers are a few inches less than the depth of the unit so take a look at the dimensions of the buffet online if this is concerning to you. Hardware is provided to secure the hutch to the buffet and optionally the whole unit to the wall if you are concerned with it tipping over.

I found the buffet for $100 more locally (excluding the hutch), so the price is right as well. I was skeptical that I would be satisfied with this because it is quite inexpensive, however I was pleasantly surprised and I'm happy with this purchase.

Like everyone has said, assembly was a pain. But, if you have a handy guy and the right tools, it's not so bad. We had one drawer that just didn't have holes on one side, so we had to drill them in. Then we got the whole thing together and the right side top shelf wouldn't go down. The peg in one of the boards was off center. So we had to saw it off and use wood glue to hold it in the right position. Probably took us about 4 hours to put the entire thing together. But it looks fabulous. I would buy it again.

This says it will cover a fire pit up to 44" and in the photo, the lid is clearly on the firepit. It does not cover a fire pit that large. Our firepit is 40" wide. It covers the lid, that is it. The rest of the firepit is exposed, not covered as the photo shows.

The cover is perfect for my round firepit. I discovered after purchasing the medium 42" cover. I discovered that the measurement on the item is the exact measurement of the cover and not the size of the firepit that it will cover as stated by the manufacturer. The large cover at 60" covers my 42" firepit allowing room for the mesh dome and to fit like the pictured item.

The cover seems to be a thick gauge material. I just got this cover to protect the firepit during the midwest winter and snow and time will tell if it holds up as expected.

We bought this to put over the fire pit we bought the same day. We bought the Strathwood St. Thomas Cast-Aluminum Fire Pit with Table and this cover. It was recommended together from Amazon so we thought it would be perfect. It was also mentioned by another reviewer of the fire pit we bought as a perfect fit, even with the fire pits mesh dome on. It barely fits this fire pit (without the mesh dome) and took two people to get it on. It barely covers the top edge of the table. We are returning this for the 60" cover. If you are buying the above mentioned fire pit, do not buy the 44" cover as recommended, go for the 60".

I purchased two of these black nightstands to go in our bedroom. We just moved into a new home and did not want to spend $200 or more on each nightstand, so these seemed like a great bargain! They arrived within a week, and we got free shipping through Amazon. It was fairly simple to put them together, but you do have to be careful not to over-tighten any screws. The wood is rather flimsy, but we think they will hold up for a couple years use until we can buy something better. They do look good from a distance. You get what you pay for!

Oxo International 1057959 Good Grips Vegetable/Herb Chopper Reviews

Customer Ratings:

While I haven't had the chopper long enough to test its durability, I have had it long enough to tell you how wonderful it is. This is one of those items you buy where you don't realize how much thought has been put into it until you realize how bad something like this could be. The blades retract into a plastic housing to prevent anything from getting stuck in the blades. A piece of plastic runs around the edges of the housing to prevent anything from getting stuck along the edges of the chopping container. All in all, I really really recommend this product. You'll never need to chop onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc. with a knife again.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I have had this product for almost 3 months now. It was purchased from Bed Bath & Beyond. It works awesome for choppping and dicing garlic for me but when it has come to onions it's been a waste of time and I've reverted back to doing onion chopping by hand. The blade isn't sharp enough to go through the depth of a quartered onion. It leaves a lot of wasted pieces. I've tried many different ways to cut the onions in a way that this little chopper will work for me and it's been without success.

Cleaning isn't difficult but could be a lot easier. For cleaning, the whole item needs to be broken down into 5 pieces for cleaning. I wash it by hand. Seems safe enough for the dishwasher top shelf but because of the way the blades are shaped I don't think dishwasher cleaning is thorough.

It comes with a little scooping spoon. The spoon doesn't sit well in the holes that it is supposed to rest in and keeps falling off.

I'm not happy that it doesn't chop red/white/yellow onions well which is what I bought it for.

I'm looking to replace it in the near future. I would recommend another brand because the quality of the blades, the price and the scoop spoon being awkward sitting on the product have been irritations to me.

I do give it a good rating for durability however.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas after suffering for years with a cheap chopper. There were no reviews at that time to go by but it looked like a sturdy chopper. All I can say is that we have been extremely pleased with this product. It is very well build, very sturdy, comes apart easily and cleans up great! The rotating blades chop the material well with no effort on your part. We use it mainly for onions and mushrooms and it performs excellently. I would highly reccomend this chopper. Price is reasonable and it appears that it will last for years!

Honest reviews on Oxo International 1057959 Good Grips Vegetable/Herb Chopper

I really love OXO products so I was excited to get this. While it is well-designed, it is useless. I thought it was something I would use everyday, but instead I can't remember the last time I used it. I just think choppers like these take longer to clean-up than the time they save you chopping. A good santoku knife is a better investment (and cheaper).

Here's why I don't use it:

It can only chop small quantities at a time. If you overload it, the blade will get stuck and instead of just pushing down, you'll have to begin pulling the plunger back up manually.

Onions, garlic, and tomatoes are the things I chop the most. It can only chop about a quarter of an onion at a time, which makes chopping a whole onion very time consuming. Garlic becomes a very sticky paste when you chop it and with this you tend to lose a lot of the paste on the blade and bowl. It makes a mess of tomatoes--basically purees them.

One feature is that the bottom of the bowl comes off so you can use the chopper on a cutting board. The problem is the bottom comes off sometimes when you don't want it to.

You have to take it apart and put it back together to clean it. A knife just rinses off.

Again, I really love OXO products and I don't think it's their fault that this product is useless (that's why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1). A santuko knife just can't be beat. Happy chopping :)

I essentially got this chopper for my love of onions, but my hate for chopping.

I was disappointed when my medium sized vidalia got stuck several times to the blade like the onion was too big for it :-( I would scoop it out, but it would be stuck again. It finally did its job when I started to quarter the onions.

I tried it on garlic and ginger and some dryfruits and it did a good job.

Cleaning was easy.

Even better with a pad underneath. Great with 3 kids, too!

First off, I'll preface this review by saying that I didn't purchase this item on Amazon. There was a $20 deal on Groupon for this laptop stand and that is where I purchased it.

I was excited to receive this, as I have been looking for an adjustable stand that I could move between my office and bedroom. I had been hemming and hawing over several of the other options here on Amazon when the Groupon deal popped up and I jumped on it.

When my stand finally arrived, I unpacked it and organized the parts (few as there may be) before putting it together. There are no assembly instructions, though you shouldn't really need them. I should have noticed at this time that my box was missing a critical piece (the plastic cap that tightens up to enable custom heights).

The first thing that I noticed about the stand is that it was considerably smaller than I was expecting. This isn't really a negative by itself, but the company could post some size comparison shots on their product listing. The metal bars that make up the skeleton of the stand are small (about the circumference of a Dime), but to their credit, they are sturdy and they feel well-suited to support the weight of a good-sized laptop. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the plastic that makes up the rest of this stand. It is thin and brittle, and gives a decidedly cheap feel to the entire thing, despite the sturdy metal underpinnings.

Up to this point, I would have been inclined to give this stand a 3/5. The missing part (an unfortunate mishap, but it happened nonetheless) and cheap plastic bring the value of this item down, but I could still see its utility. However, once I realized that it was missing that critical tightening cap, I decided to disassemble it and pack it away. During disassembly, the plastic mounting bracket at the base (which holds the bars that support the desk surface) cracked! I've worked with more than my share of IKEA-style self-assembled furniture, and I did not apply more than what I consider to be reasonable force. The damage to the base is such that the desk surface still stays up until any amount of weight is placed on it, then it collapses.

In light of how flimsy the plastic components of this laptop stand are, I have no choice but to give it 1/5. I cannot and will not recommend this desk to anyone, and I suggest you steer clear as well.

It is very unstable even when fully tightened, and there is not way to adjust it to make the top actually level. The top is slightly angled to one side making it definitely of no use if you wish to use it for a drink.

This buffet requires assembly and we were quite puzzled when there was no instructions how to put one of the planks at the bottom of the buffet. In addition it was strange that one (front) plank was already attached and another (back) was not. Then we could find only three remaining screws while there are five holes. After closer look we found out that two screws are inside the plank, and one of the screws is broken. And the bottom of the buffet looked like the plank was just ripped off. Also one of the inner parts is badly scratched and slightly painted over. I was strongly considering returning the buffet, but we desperately needed something in our kitchen, so we could not wait another two-three weeks for receiving a new one.

So, overall, I like the buffet, it's made of good wood and even wine rack is solid and not flimsy. However, if you order it, check VERY carefully for damage!

The good news:

This looks fantastic and is perfect for holding wine, accessories, glasses, whatever you need. I have received many compliments on it and I'm very happy with its appearance.

The unit is very sturdy and made of solid material.

They give you an extra of each kind of screw just in case.

The bad news:

I pride myself on being good at putting together furniture and this thing was a BEAST to build. The instructions are not paced well and have multiple steps squished together into one step. I did most of it by myself but I needed my husband to hold some of the bigger, heavier pieces in place while I secured screws.

The screws and locknuts are poor quality. I had one locknut break as I tightened it and nearly all of the screws were stripped by the time I got them all the way in.

The space for the drawer on the left is a little too tight and the drawer needs some force to move in and out.

The space for the drawer on the right was too small for the drawer to fit at all. I double checked and I had definitely constructed the unit correctly as all the dowels were in place and everything else was lined up as it should be. This drawer space was just about a centimeter too narrow. I actually had to deconstruct the drawer and take a saw to the back and internal front pieces and narrow it, then screw it back together to make it fit. It works great now and you can't tell that I made any changes, but what a pain in the butt.

Overall:

If you have the patience and determination to force this thing together it's a great piece of furniture and a reasonable price, but be prepared for a heck of a chore.

The unit itself is nice for the price, but I was appalled to find mine had arrived with a damaged board on the side that someone unsuccessfully tried to cover up. There are two very obvious large gouges in the wood that have been painted over sloppily. Because it would be a huge hassle to re-package this buffet and return it, I'm going to put that board against a wall where it can't be seen and hope I don't have to move it one day, but this manufacturer was dishonest in taking my money and sending me a board that someone at the company knew was damaged. I'll think twice before ordering anything from this supplier again. We all work too hard for our money to be ripped off this way. What a disappointment.

I just assembled this buffet. The Middle Panels were mislabeled, and middle panel C was missing the plastic inserts on the 2 outer holes to that the cam lock screw could screw into it. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying wood dowels and putting them in the holes. Hopefully this will be enough to hold the shelf in place.

The 3 drawer handles came with screws and handles in a bag. One of the handles had the wrong screws (they were too short). I had to call to get the correct screws. Not an easy piece to assemble, but very attractive once it's all together. It scratches easily as well, so assemble with care.

I saw some people with a towel like this on the beach and I liked the look, so I bought a couple.

Make sure you know what you are getting here, don't expect super soft terry cloth. These are woven cotton and are a lot thinner than regular towels. Personally, I think they are better for a fashion statement than actually drying anything, BUT they are pretty absorbent.

They are great for laying on at the beach or covering yourself with on a cool day at the beach. They actually stop the wind pretty well.

These are also nice enough that you could certainly use them to drape over a table or lay on the back of a sofa.

Really good towels with a lot of different uses!.
