no worries -it does last the three years and is well worth it at the price. We could have easily kept ours going longer if we had to.... but the 3yr warranty was like $30.....

...and you've witnessed first hand just how filthy our kids are.....

it's a great choice. Our first steam vac here was a dirt devil like we had in the UK. total failure

All Dirt Devils are failures. Worst. Vaccuums/Cleaners. EVAR.

Me? I've had my Hoover SteamVac for about seven years now. Got a warranty through Sears (didn't need it really; it's always done a great job) and had it serviced for the first time last year. Runs even better than I remembered. :)

Hoover vacuum cleaners are pretty awesome, as well. Mine is at least 10 years old and still working like a charm.

Dirt Devils we had in the UK were fine.

The Goldilocks tequila. Not too expensive, not too cheap. Plenty shootable.

I do the same thing with a straw.

Seriously.

I guess, but I would not want to such the same air as raw meat.:greenface

I've been doing it for years...no problems.

It's just the American ... Ummmmm... corporate way

It slices, it dices, it mices, it rices, it spices, it splices, and entices; not once or twice but thrice. It's nice.

I tried to buy one of those pineapple things the other day at Williams Sonoma, but they don't carry them in the store. Only online.

I got a very generous WS gift card for Xmas. I got an immersion blender, a lettuce spinner, and a food scale. Already had two delicious soups made with the immersion blender. It's so much easier than pouring batches of hot soup into a regular blender.

Only used it twice, but I feel like I should endorse it now.

The cheaper consumer grade Bamix immersion blender is awesome. Plenty of power, quiet, and feels high quality in your hand.

Ive been meaning to get one of those.

Speaking of dead dentists, when I got my caps done Doc said I should just take normal precautions, even though eating corn on the cob should be fine, why risk it.

I mentioned I had one of these, and he said they should give one out to everyone who gets new caps. It's easier than slitting your wrists trying to use a regular knife while holding the cob still.
