LOCK LOCK HOLDS LEFT OVERS AIR TIGHT, WILL NOT POP OPEN WHEN DROPPED, THE SHAPE OF THE LOCK LOCK ... TAKES UP A LOT LESS SPACE , MANY OF THE LIDS WILL FIT OTHER BOTTOMS. CLEAR ENOUGH TO SEE THR WITH OUT OPENING. LOCK LOCK HAS REPLACED TUPPERWARE IN MY KITCHEN.

I LOVE these containers. What more can I say. They are terrific. I have purchased about 3 dozen of the 5 to 11 cup sizes as well as the tall pasta sizes at my local Target store and then found them in sets at QVC. I store all my beans, rices, grains and flours in them and they keep everything wonderful. They store in the freezer great. You can easily see what is inside and they stack perfectly. I can't recommend these enough.

Go to www.heritagemercantile.com and you will find the distributor for these products, among others. I found this address right on the paper within the containers. I love these by the way for produce in the fridge. Keeps salads very well. Will use more for misc. items I am sure. I found a few small round ones at one of my grocery stores but not many. I've only had these a few days, but love them so far.

The other reviews are dead-on. This fan is extremely loud, albeit, the fan pushes more air into my apt than a tsunami.
Very useful for droning out loud neighbors, street sounds, annoying tourists, etc;

Recommended for people in California, (or any State for that matter) that is accustomed to rolling blackouts &/or sudden heatwaves. Atleast with the low energy usage, you won't feel that you contribute to the blackouts in the first place.

Wish I would have come across this last year.

Also, the fan is aesthetically pleasing, so for all you design queens out there, the fan is the shiz-nit, FYI.

For some strange reason, I have a lot of trouble getting to sleep if this fan isn't on. It doesn't matter if it's snowing outside, this fan has to be on.

I have been using it for 2 years and it still works great. I rarely use the high setting because I have a small room, but the low setting is great for sleeping because it isn't very loud.

My only complaint, as will ALL fans that I've owned, are that they get dusty rather quickly and are difficult to clean. You have to unscrew the plastic screens, wipe the fan blade, hose down the screens, and screw them pack on.

This fan is very, very loud, and moves an incredible amount of air (I'm planning on contacting the manufacturer to see just how much). It's very nice, and I'd imagine it would be very comfortable, should I use it for room cooling.

I don't use it for room cooling, however. It is tied to my computer so that it blows totally into the case. It has lowered the ambient temperature in my case by over 20F and lowered the temperature of my processor by about 8F.

I bought the pitcher with the digital change filter indicator thinking that it would tell you when you've filtered 40 gallons of water. However, it just indicates that the filter needs changing after it counts 8 weeks, regardless of how much water you have filtered.

No thanks, I'll take the manual sticker method and save some money, this is a useless feature.

It's sort of cheap, but it works quite well. The water comes out clean, with no odd taste (which some filter systems can do).

Our tap water smells something like a swimming pool. I used to drink it when I desperate. I know Brita doesn't really filter out the actual cholrine, but it is unbelievable how much the smell and taste of the water has changed.

* Pro: Starts automatically. Can be controlled by external on/off switch.

* Con: Is lightweight and has no anti-slip material on base. Requires considerably flat & level surface.

* Pro: Has a long power cord.

* Con: Power cord is unnecessarily heavy & thick for the little current that this lamp draws. But perhaps the U.S. Constitution, under the infamous Interstate Commerce clause, allowed T*d K*nnedy to require the cord to be this thick.

* Pro: The shade/bulb assembly not only can tilt (up/down), as you'd have expected, but also can swivel, as you might not have expected.

* Con: Is pricey, and all Web searches on its Panasonic part number point to Amazon; i.e., Amazon seems to have no online competition for this item.

* Con-jecture: Replacement bulb might be hard to find.

* Con: Ships from North Dakota. Can take up to a week to arrive via free shipping to some parts of USA, especially the West Coast.

Was looking for an affordable inveter lamp and tried this out after the good reviews. I would say the lighting is much much better on the eyes than conventional incandescent lamps. Really well designed foldable soft light feature too. Panasonic quality and reliability a big plus. Perfect desk lamp and takes up minimal space thanks to smart design. Highly recommended

Very good for the eye espcially if you
use it on your PC table...folding shape
is great for decor and it emits ray of light on the
wall...I suggest getting two and place them
on each side of your monitor or LCD display,
you will love it.

I ordered the product as a Christmas gift, when I opened the box, the low quality, cheap material and poor finishing flatware make me feel so bad, I don't think I can put this set on my table.I got high quality flatware set (45pc)from CosTco for $39, I love them, that set makes me feel so good. If you want to buy this set, you better go to other place, or go to CosTco first.

I bought a 40 piece place setting of this over 2 years ago when we moved into our house. Now that several pieces have found their way into the garbage disposal by way of my husband, I needed more and was unable to find it in the store but was lucky enough to get it online. I'm so happy because it is the best! It's sturdy enough for my 2-year old but still looks great when I have to set a formal table. Love it!!

I don't think I've ever actually bought my own flat/silverware before.. It was always given to me as a gift and would end up tarnished, broken or missing.. This set was the first set I've actually bought and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

I figured for the low price, that these would be of a cheaper metal material and bend easily or tarnish or discolor in the dishwasher.. I WAS WRONG..

These pieces have a nice weight to them, nice & simple design that goes great with any place setting and are sold here for an unbeatable price.. If you're in need of flatware, look no further than this item and add it to your cart.. You won't be dissatisfied..

I have owned this vacuum for four months. It has been used continuously since the purchase. The vacuum is relatively quiet and the suction is strong. I have owned dozens of shop vacuums and none have approached the quality and workmanship of this unit. I would give it five stars without hesitation were it not for the fact that getting accessories or replacement bags has proved elusive. The Hitachi website is useless...no, it is a joke. Amazon.com will not respond to emails about the availability of replacement parts, bags, or accessories. Let the buyer BEWARE. Eventually you will have a great vacuum that needs a part or bag. What are you going to do? If you are thinking of purchasing this product try finding a source of parts and accessories BEFORE you buy this product. Maybe you will have more success than I have. It has been discouraging.

This is a great vaccuum for low noise and great suction. It's casters are much better than others, and is quality built.
The 10' hose is very flexible and is nice to work with.
It's true that you don't get the crevice tool, little brush, and uphostery nozzle. This can't be found at amazon at this time, but can be ordered easily at toolpartsdirect.com or other part centers. You can use the parts # that come in the owners manual, the total for the three items where very reasonable. For the price they should of come with it but this vaccuum is a commercial grade and they have lots of accessories for tool dust control. They probably had to draw the line some where. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted this type of quality. Hope this is helpful.

Never has the phrase: "You get what you pay for." been so true. This is one heavy-duty vacuum. Keep in mind, I'm comparing this to my two year old Craftsman 2 gal shop vac. In comparison, it's less than half the noise, has probably 40% more suction power, a locking hose, and top-quality attachments. You can do your vacuuming and pull this around by its hose and it follows you easily. The hose is a nice 8 ft. deal. It comes with two stiff extension wands, a handle with pressure release, wet and dry filters, two floor attachments: one with a squeegee for wet cleanup, and one with perimeter brushes for dust and stuff. The pressure release on the handle is for cutting down some of the suction. There *are* times when you want to less suction, like when vacuuming around lightweight objects that you don't want sucked up or ruined. It also includes a rubber adapter so that it will fit standard [local store] shop vac accessories. This vacuum doesn't include stuff that is standard on other shop vacs, stuff that will let you clean your car,..., there's not point in complaining about it. Hitachi leaves you the decision of whether to spring for the top quality Hitachi attachments or bottom quality shop vac attachments. If you already have Hitachi portable hand tools, this is the vacuum to get. Hitachi offers attachments specific to their tools, like hammer drill attachments to suck up concrete dust as you make it. A regular shop vac will deafen you in short order, this one is quieter than your household floor vacuum. That doesn't sound like much, but when you're already used to a noisy one, it's a big deal.
If you're looking for a top-quality shop vac for a reasonable price, this is the way to go.

I opted for this one over the Fein because the hose size can be matched to standard attachments, the construction looked sturdier, it's almost as quiet, and it came with some basic accessories. I wouldn't get a different model if I had it to do over again. FWIW, I'm a woodworker, and I use this to clean up and as a portable, dust collector and general shop vac.

Purchased two of these products and set both. One caught a mouse the first night. Disposed of the mouse and attempted to reset the trap. Wouldn't reset. Same thing happened with the other trap. Purchased two more. Took them out of the box, neither would set. Have returned all four.

I found these in a supermarket and have been using the four I bought 7 years ago, until they finally broke (hence my order here.) After a couple of nasty experiences with mice caught in glue traps (which are remarkably cruel!), I started looking for a better mousetrap and this is it. Once you set the latch, you know you've caught a mouse by the lever in the air and the tail trailing out the back of the trap. To get rid of the dead mouse, you pop the back, lift the lever up a little to release the snap and shake it out. You don't even have to look when you're doing this. Then you just have to reset them. We had a big problem a few years ago, and these traps were life (and sanity)-savers. We're down to the occasional rodent now (thank the heavens!), but I still couldn't live without these.

I tried so many brands and wasted so much money on the "live" traps to curb my little visitors but after awhile they just procreate too fast and when you live in a suburban area it's a struggle. My biggest issue was getting something that "shielded" me from the gory details (yes, I know there are many activists up in arms) and this is a small, very effective trap. My advice would be to make sure and put a "sticky" bait on (peanut butter) verus cheese because there is a small opening in the back (that is needed to set the spring) where they can actually pull the cheese off and not go in the front of the trap.

This is a great product to buy your pet, as soon as I removed it from the box my cat was over to check it out. After I got it set up which took less than 5 minutes my cat was drinking and playing with the running water. Before buying the pet fountain my cat used to prefer to drink out of the fish tank instead of his bowl. The only possible way this item could be made any better is to make the bowl removable in some way because sometimes the messy kitty drops bits of food into the water and I have to lift the whole thing out to rinse the bowl part. I also got a free food bowl with it which I wasn`t expecting so that was an added bonus! I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone, well worth the money.

I came back to read some more reviews about this product (which I purchased a month or two ago) and find that some people either really love it, or really hate it -- and most that hate it say that the filter isn't cleaning the water. There isn't anything in the instructions about rinsing the filter before putting it into the fountain, but try doing that. Activated carbon will make water cloudy if it isn't rinsed out thoroughly before using.

I had been thinking about purchasing one of these but was sceptical about the claims. To my surprise, it does work and both my cats have been drinking much more frequently.

The only thing I would note is that it needs a thorough cleaning every few weeks. Also cat hair tends to accumulate and clog up the pump input (water flow will decrease and noise/bubbles will develop).

Other than that, a good expenditure of 40 bucks.

This light uses LED technology, there are no batteries- last up to 100,000 hours of use!

This "reviewer" would like to learn BEFORE ordering this penlight
WHAT kind of battery/batteries it takes. Someone please answer w/
a review to SPECIFY WHAT SIZE AND QUANTITY BATTERY is required to
operate this (apparently very nifty) flashlight. For example, the
battery SIZE is "button" (state which model number); the COUNT to
run the light would be ?? # of cells (for example two AAA's, or 2
button cells, whatever...). The reason I'd like to know (before I
buy) is that I'll be "stuck" with a high-maintenance flashlight @
so much money per set of hard-to-get batteries. It's one thing if
the penlight takes AA or even AAA, but when/if it requires a AAAA
or a set of button cells, then the cost and availability of those
specialty batteries becomes a reason to abandon the thought of an
online order for the flashlight itself. Am a virgo... 'Nuff said?

The Coast LL7526 V16 White Pen Light has been one of my favorite new purchases. It does have two batteries that are Li/3V that can apparently be purchased through jewelry stores and even Walmart. The light is LED which is supposed to last 100,000 hours. I am a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and use this light to clip onto a wooden tongue blade to inspect mouths and throats of little ones. It frees up my second hand to be able to hold the child's head more easily if needed, and because it's so small, its seems to be less threatening to the children. I plan to purchase a couple more, so that I always have one in my pocket!

I love this box.The only reason I give it 3 stars is because the screws provided for the lid hinge are tiny, my daughter is in and out of this many times per day and it only took about 3 days for the hinge to come loose. I replaced the tiny screws with larger ones and its been great ever sence.

Easy to put together. The fabric quality is lacking, but what do you expect for the price? I may try to replace it. Our biggest problem has been how loud the hinge is when closed. The first couple of times our daughter closed it, I came running into her room to see what had happened. Now I am more used to it. And she laughs every time it squeaks, it must be hysterical in Babyland.

Bought this for our oldest daughter and it has been such a nice accessory to her room. Not only is it adorable and looks like "mommy's" it has storage in it!! Can't go wrong with this. It was so easy to put together as well...my 12 yr. old cousin did it!!
