I bought three variety paks, my fault, I should have purchased one first to see if it was what I wanted. In the variety pak you receive only four choices and one choice is 18 decaf coffee pods. If I wanted decaf I would order decaf but I wanted to try the coffee flavors. That is not what happened. There is no French Vanilla, no Hazelnut and no strong coffee - all weak flavors. If you are a coffee drinker, my recommendation would be don't waste your money on the variety pak. Order the flavors you would like to try because if you do not like them you are out only $5.00 instead of $30.00 as I am. It is a waste of money.

On the other hand the coffee pot is great and does exactly what it claims.

Shipping and handling is ridiculous. Adding that to the bill often drives potential consumers away. It is not fair that they do not give some tea pods in the variety pack. They don't even make mention that there are tea pods too. Not everybody is a coffee drinker.

I read the review from another user who was angry that he recieved Decaf in his order. It clearly says you get Decaf in the description. If you want to try these, go to Target and see if you can get the flavors separately if you don't want decaf.....

This thing is a joke! I have given it multiple chances during my travels, but it just flat out doesn't work. It barely produces enough steam to put a good fog on the mirror, much less to penetrate your clothes. You are better off hanging your clothes in the hotel bathroom, turning the hot shower on, and closing the door. I found that it creates enough steam to really take out a lot of wrinkles, the downside is you end up wasting a lot of water!

Being a travel steamer iron, it must be suitable to use with 110 V and 220 V. in certain countries. This apect is not mentioned by the manufacturer specs, nor the review by author, and a customer.

My iron decided to break just as I was about to iron a shirt that was to be worn to attend a wedding...what to do?! Grabbed this steamer that's been sitting in our laundry room just waiting to be used. The shirt would have looked better had it been ironed, but this steamer did get out the most obvious wrinkles and left the shirt presentable. Word of warning though, follow the instructions! If you keep pressing on the steam button to get more steam so that you can try and work faster, the steamer will spit on your garment.

I got this set a year or two ago on sale at Home Depot for a clearance price of $5. Mostly, I use the tongs because they do the work of tongs and spatula thanks to the unique mini spatula shapes. The big spatula is fine, and the fork, but the tongs are most useful, so I usually skip the other two. It's a great value at a $5 price, but there's no way I'd pay $35, especially since I use mostly one tool. If I paid that much, I'd want some extras like basting brushes or a grill rack for vegetables or fish. Shop around.

While Weber is a trustworthy name in grilling, I would definitely not recommend this tool set. The set appears to be very cheaply made - the handles are entirely wood, unsupported by any stainless steel in the actual handle. The stainless steel working end did not appear to be heavy duty, and where it connects to the wooden handle will be very difficult to clean. There definitely are significantly better tools on the market for a much better price. I gave this as a gift to my husband and was very dissapointed in the quality.

I bought the processor and this holder came with the machine....It's nice for what it holds, but there is NO room for anything else...and of course if you [have] a FP you are gonna buy more blades. I bought the 5 pack of blades and now have nowhere to put them. ... [with] this holder, I'd actually have to buy THREE more, to accomodate 5 blades, as only 2 blades fit per holder. Kitchenaid needs to design a holder to fit nothing but blades, and I don't mean that "tree" looking thing...I want my blades put away, not hanging where they can be a danger (for them being damaged or me!) Guess I'll have my husband build me something to accomodate and protect my blades.

This is my first disappointment with Amazon.com's description which was by no means adequate for this carafe. I though "universal" meant ALL Mr. Coffee machines, but no so with my ECM21.

Works as advertised. Only they never advertised about getting the cork off the corkpull. The screw doesn't come all the way out, you have to reach inside the plastic cup portion with fingertips on the end of the cork to finish the unscrewing. Not very ergonomic, and would be difficult for people with fat fingers or gripping problems. Wait, isn't that what this product is supposed to address?
If you don't need the cork back and will only use the corkpull once, don't worry about it.

While the mitt is beautiful and the price is right, it is narrow. Most mitts flare towards the opening, this one does not. I have larger forearms and it won't fit all the way up. My husband has average sized arms and it won't go around his upper forearm either. Since they are so long they go almost to your elbow.

The Editorial Review states that " an innkeeper's son in the small French town of Laguiole invented this style of folding knife in the early 1800s." Unfortunately, the corkscrew does not fold.

The Ed. Review also states that "with this set in your pocket you can open. . . wine without a fuss." That may be true, but I'd still be fussing about the hole in my pocket from that screw.

Disappointing product, even at the low price.

For appreciaters of fine wine and cooking, the name Laguiole is legendary. Go to the finest restaurants in Paris and order a bottle of good wine. Chances are the waiter will use a handmade corkscrew made in the village of Laguiole to open it. However, fame has bred commercialization and dilution of this famed locale. This set from Sabatier is a major disappointment. I certainly did not expect the same quality as a hundred dollar bone corkscrew from the village, but the quality of the metal casting is abominable. The corkscrew does not retract! And you are expected to just screw and pull! The bottle opener does not open some caps! You are better off with a plastic Screwpull than this set. Sabatier should be embarrassed!

This opener does not work very well. It's ok, but I definitely do not recommend it.

Difficult to clean. It worked fine originally. Now it generated strange smell.

Does the job. Must be refilled everyday, noisy fan and a large footprint.

This is a no frills humidifier. It has worked well for our family for over two years now, and we use it most nights during the winter months. It is a bit loud (about as loud as a rotating table top fan) but it can get louder if it is not cleaned out regularly, or if the lid/top is not placed on properly. It does need to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it is unsanitary. The glow in the dark feature is useful. It will make a difference in how well you can breathe, as well as help to leave your skin feeling less dry. For the money, this one has worked well for us with many months of use.

I've had the coffeemaker for less than a year, yet I've broken three carafes already and we are very careful. Makes great coffee, but I've spent twice as much on replacement carafes than the coffeemaker cost. Braun can do better.

I dropped the original carfe last week because I have no motor skills to speak of. It lasted almost 3 years. This replacement lasted less than a week. It broke while I was washing it with a sponge. I'm buying a different brand of coffee maker tomorrow rather than padding Braun's pockets by buying another one of these things.

In spite of the negative reviews written about the Braun
replacement caraffe we needed one. The original was an
eggshell-thin piece of glass that we babied for 1 1/2 yrs.
It broke while washing it much as others have described.
Our suprise was to find that the replacement had heavier-
duty glass than the original! Has Braun heard complaints
and reverted to previous standards? Four stars! It still
could be a little sturdier yet!
