It was an amazing knife for the first few days, really sharp, precise cuts, even when cutting tomatoes, I didn't really have to put any pressure on the knife, but after a week or so, it started turning blunt. Surprisingly so! So, unless you have a home knife sharpener, I do NOT recommend this product to anyone at all. I was pretty disappointed.

Ciacci Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:54:34 +0000 http://cedik.com/progressive-international-hgt-11-folding-mandoline-slicer/#comment-1833 I LOVE THIS THING! I normally don't have these types of gadgets but i bought it because i've wanted to make homemade potato chips and slicing them by hand wouldn't cut it. I actually just made them yesterday using this mandoline, it has a very thin slices attachment which worked perfectly for the chips. It has a few other attachments that i haven't looked into yet but am looking forward to using. Its very easy to use and the slicing is very smooth! I highly recommend this.

The $100 Dremel is lighter and a bit smaller but the buzz the motor makes compared to the Rockwell motor [a little bit heavier and slightly bigger] which humms smoothly is like comparing a Vespa scooter to a Victory street bike.

Since the basic Rockwell is only $20 more than the Dremel and the extra blades are about the same price, there was no question about going for the quality/durability of a Rockwell.

The only convenience problem that I can foresee is getting replacement blades:

Dremel is carried by big box hardware stores; hobbyists who do crafts on the spur of the moment and do not need to rip open walls, will appreciate the around-the-corner convenience.

Rockwell is carried by speciality woodworking stores or the internet; the Home Proj. kind of guys have to plan ahead before ripping into a wall for remodeling. So ordering parts in advance should be a no brainer.

I switched to these bags about a month ago b/c I found they seal much better than the Medela ones and it's nice that they have a larger storage capacity now that my daughter is drinking 5-6 oz. per feeding. That said, I just pumped 5 oz in my office, filled up a bag, sealed it and put it on the counter for a few minutes while finishing something up at the computer, only to look down about 20 minutes later and find a full 2 oz. had leaked out of the 5 oz. bag all over my desk through a series of pinhole sized perforations in the bottom of the bag! Argh! Not only are the edges of my work papers now soaked with breastmilk, I lost 2 very much needed ounces of the so-called "liquid gold"! Anyone who struggles to keep their supply up while pumping at work (or anywhere) knows that losing 2 oz. is not cool. I was so frustrated I had to type this review. Anyhow, I suppose it's possible this was a fluke and all the other bags are okay. I'm hoping that was the only defective bag in the bunch. This is particulary disheartening b/c I really love the bags otherwise, as they are a better size, have a good seal, have good quality plastic, a good clear place to write the date and other info on., etc. Rating: 3 / 5 I am torn on this product.
