there is no auto shut-off,there is no off/on control at all,just unplug or plug in.On positive side makes great steam and does have non-stick soleplate.The fabric select dial is very difficult to turn.I got it for my sewing room,it takes care of my needs there,didn't pay much for it,so guess I got what I paid for.(Friday Sale 9.99)

I'm impressed with this iron because the price is so reasonable and the product is reliable. It's easy to spend more money on something that may seem to be better because of it's BRAND name but why pay more when this iron is just as good or better. I will definatley buy another Black & Decker iron.

I purchased this item based on the reviews. It really is very very light. I was suprised at how quickly its heated up and ready to go and how quickly it cools down and can be easily stored. Its design allows the heated part of the iron not to touch when you set it down and it also acts as a wrap for the cord. The steam is great and powerful. It comes with it's own water pouring cup for steam too. Very satisfied!

I ordered this pan beacuse I liked the old RevereWare pan I have had and wanted another. I received this pan and could not believe how much lighter and of less quality it was as compared to the original RevereWare pan I have had for years. I looked on the botom of the new pan and it is made in China. IS IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I returned the pan. I would not recommend this pan to anyone.

The pan was very nice and I was very please with the Amazon experience

I only use Revereware cookware with copper bottoms. My husband, who is a mechanical engineer, states that cookware with copper bottoms is the best conductor of surface heat. I totally agree. My Revereware has lasted me for 20 years, at least, and is still going strong. I wanted another pan and couldn't find it in any store in our area. So, I got on-line and bingo! I'll be ordering another smaller pan in the near future, but am happy to have found Revereware through Amazon.

Coffee pots are pretty basic appliances and everyone has one, but this brew station is the best I have ever owned. All other coffee pots we have owned included a glass carafe which usually leaked when pouring a cup of coffee or, even, broke while cleaning. This pot serves coffee like a soda dispenser and, so far, doesn't leak or drip. The coffee is hot and the timer works perfect.

This is a tea maker right. Since I don't drink coffee but adore tea this was a boon to me. I have tried regular coffee makers and they were always terrible. The glass carafe on the hot plate jsut always "burnt" the tea and if you didn't drink it quickly it destroyed the flavor. So when I saw this and they talked about it never "burning" the coffee I knew I had to try it. I love this thing, it keeps tea hot and never destroys that wonderful flavor that exudes in a fesh brewed cup of tea. If you love tea and were just never satisfied with "coffee" pots for hot tea, but drank to much to make a regular tea pot convienent you really need to try this one out. I often use it when I am sitting down to write and never lose my train of thought by having to refill the tea pot and set it back on the burner and wait for the whistle to go off. Just wonderful.

I was amazed to see the reviews about bad tasting coffee and leaking dispensers. To date, my spouse and I have bought 3 BrewStations - one for my work, one for his work and one for home. And I am going to order one for my father for Father's day. Makes such good coffee that although I bought it for our "flight", other flight members have abandoned their coffee pots and are now drinking our coffee. I might have to double check on that leaking dispenser cause I just thought it was a case of "people thinking their momma works here" syndrome like my step-son has and they were making messes.

I bought these needing good baking sheets for everyday use. I have found that they heat up too quickly and unevenly, so that when making things like cookies the tops are still uncooked and the bottoms are burnt. Or one half of the cookies will be burnt and the other half will still be ok. They are way too unpredicable. They are non-stick, however.

I simply can not understand the positive reviews for this product. It seems likely that these pans are now being manufactured in a very different way from when other reviewers purchased them.

No one could possibly describe these pans as heavy and while I'm not sure that this property is all that important it leads me to believe (along with the very poor non-stick coating) that this product has changed very significantly from prior reviews.

Everything sticks to these pans. The "non-stick" surface is completely disfunctional. Every time I use these pans they have to be soaked for hours, then scrubbed very hard to clean them. Even then residue is left and short of steel wool (which I havn't used) they will never come clean.

I'm not a cleaning fanactic - far from it - I can't emphasise enough that truly everything sticks to these pans and just to clean what should be easy spills really takes a lot of work.

No one could possibly rate the pans which I received as acceptable if they are looking for a non stick pan nor would ANYONE rate them as heavy.

Non stick doesn't seem the greatest, but you can't beat the price!

This Honeywell product is excellent. It works quietly and easily circulates air while providing the desired breeze.

I believe the unit will outlive its generous warranty, and would not hesitate to purchase another one if and when it should wear out.

My 15 year old 4 speed oscillating fan stopped oscillating, so I decided to get a replacement. Wonder why they call it a "Turbo High Performance Fan"? Ever stood next to a turbo jet on take-off? Well, you get the idea. Even on its lowest setting it is louder than my old fan on its highest setting. On low, I had to blast up the TV volume. I am not returning this item only because it is throwing good money after bad--the cost of returning it. I will use it as a spare, load the old 12 gauge and wait for the neighbors to come breaking down the door.

This item is described as "whisper quiet." Maybe compared to the roar of a lion. Or a window unit air conditioner. Not quiet for a small fan and certainly not "whisper quiet."

I have owned four of these Presto aluminum pressure cookers over the years. They work great, particularly for homemade soups and stews. Great homemade chicken soup in 15 minutes? Yes! And you'll save a lot of money on fuel also. Just bear in mind, as with any inexpensive pot, it will need to be replaced after a few years of regular use. The rubber gasket needs to be lubricated regularly and replaced frequently, otherwise the pot won't seal or cook properly. Over time, the screws holding the handle on will loosen as the plastic they're imbedded in wears away. At this great price, though, you'll definitely get much more than your money's worth.

I am satisfied with my cooker for the good price and the quality.

Does exactly what I wanted it to do: simple to use, med. sized, good quality food. Easy to clean because of the weight. Will use to can a small quantity at a time which works with a smaller garden.

Hi there! This is a great gift idea! We bought it for my father-in-law for his birthday. We used it at our wedding which was a great help, but ...... one of the black rubber parts that goes in the bottle accidentally got tossed with the bottle. I'm not sure where to get a replacement for it ... does anyone know where I can get a replacement or at least begin to look for one? Please let me know, I feel bad that we lost part of his gift at our wedding. Thank you for your help!

The item came to me at the right time and i love it

I purchased one of these as a gift for someone, and as soon as it hit the counter, the Bartender was a smash hit at the party. Everyone was asking about it. Watching the shots drain out and refill sold a few others on it, as well. Works terrific. Not quite sure about washing the detachable compartments yet. I'm looking for my manual (YES, I bought one for myself as well!) I highly reccomend the Bartender to ANYONE having get togethers or needing to decorate an empty kitchen with some style.
