Not Safe, September 9, 2005

Ian King (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coleman High Stand for use with Coleman 2 or 3 Burner Stoves or a Chest Cooler (Sports)

I bought this item with a Coleman camping stove, which has turned out to be excellent (the stove). Regardless of whether you extend this stand fully or peg the legs in place IT IS NOT SAFE. The liklihood that your stove will fall through this stand is extremely high. I spent a long time experimenting with it before being forced to return it and buy a table. On the package another suggested use is as a stand for suspending a rubbish bag. If that is all that it can be used for, it's not worth the cash. A redesign is needed.

Excellent lightweight support for Coleman camp stoves, April 19, 2006

Gordon M. Wagner (Suburbia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coleman High Stand for use with Coleman 2 or 3 Burner Stoves or a Chest Cooler (Sports)

This telescopes out and two long hinges flip over and lock in place. It weighs next to nothing. It's quite useful, it's no fun to cook on the ground. I never had any issue with this stand not supporting my camp stove. There's no way it will collapse. Just use common sense and it will do what it's designed to do.

We won't go camping without it!, August 24, 2008

Flo Smith (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coleman High Stand for use with Coleman 2 or 3 Burner Stoves or a Chest Cooler (Sports)

We own two of these stove stands, and we are considering a third as an addition, not a replacement. We purchased the stands 8 to 10 years ago, and have used them several times each year. They are none the worse for wear. We put our 2-burner camp stove on one stand and the ice chest on a second one. Based on the design of our current stove, we must carefully gauge the proper width of the stand for the stove, but once it is set up, it is perfect. The feet of the stand have holes for staking the stand in conditions where you might feel a need to do so, such as when set up on uneven terrain, or if you anticipate people or pets might be inclined to bump into it. Overall, we find the stands to be very stable. I like this design over a camp "kitchen" because it allows me the flexibility of setting up each component individually, based on the characteristics of the camp site. This stand cannot be beat for portability: lightweight and extremely compact when collapsed. Sometimes we... Read more

Good for apartment living, July 31, 2006

This review is from: Wonder Washer (Kitchen)

I bought this to alleviate the amount of laundry I need to lug out into the street. It is good for maintaining in-between laundry and not to be used as a subsitute for a big machine. I use it to wash my daily wear like tank tops, shorts, personal items and delicates. It can wash up to about three to four women's sized tank tops maximum. Its good for baby clothes.

How it works:
-Pour water into bucket, put in clothes and detergent, not to exceed the capacity line inside the bucket. (7L for small loads, 10L for bigger loads)
-Lock on top lid
-Place bucket on the motorized base (similar structure to a blender)
-Plug in cord and select cycle (standard or delicates) and amount of time from selection: 3,6,9,12, or 15 minutes
-Let machine wash. There's a really flat agitator on the inside bottom of bucket that turns clockwise for a few seconds, pauses, and then turns counterclockwise and keeps going in this cycle until the timer is up... Read more

Paid for itself in 2 months., August 13, 2006

L. Oneal - See all my reviews

I have been using the Wonder Washer for several months. Before I was going to the laundry-mat every week and spending about $10 each week. Now I only go once every 4 to 6 weeks to wash the larger items. This machine paid for itself in about 2 months. The loads are small, only 2 blouses at a time (maybe 3 if they are very light weight). I tried washing 3 medium weight blouses and the machine started moving all over the counter and was having trouble swirling the clothes. The knobs are hard to turn (only about 1.5 inches in diameter) and lifting the wash-tub (the manufacture calls it a bucket) on & off the base-unit takes some doing as it is heavy when full of water (total weight approximately that of a 3 gallons bottle of water). The machine washes by spinning the clothes one directions for a few seconds and then the other direction a few seconds back and forth for the duration of time you selected. A little like the front-load washers, only this machine spins the clothes... Read more

No more early waking up and lagging heavy loads to Laundromat, December 27, 2006

M. Calingo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wonder Washer (Kitchen)

This product is heaven sent.

Prior to finding this product, I had to drag myself every three weeks out of bed at 5.30 in the morning just so I could eliminate the waiting time for washing machine availability in the Laundromat in our area. On top of that, I had to lag a heavy load of clothes.

With Wonder Washer, my clothes don't pile up anymore. In fact, I now find my hamper empty most of the time as I now wash my day's clothes after use at night. People might think it's a waste of time. For me, it's not. As my clothes wash, I can do other things. It has timer, loud enough to indicate when the washing ends. I don't mind replacing the water used for washing with clean water for rinsing... No big deal.

One load allows me to wash a day's clothes -- pants, shirt, underwear, socks. Amazingly, it also can wash my twin bedsheet, which has completely eliminated my need to go to the Laundromat... though I have yet to try washing my bath towels... Read more

Good size and idea. I bought two and both were of poor quality. Some slats are warped. Metal screws/studs in some of the legs unscrewed from the leg, not the table and had to be removed with pliars and glued back into the legs. Hope the glue holds when used again.

This table looks way better online than it does in person. When assembled, there is a fair amount of space between the slats and the quality is only ok. I looked at this table as an alternative to the Crate & Barrel table in a bag, as I read poor reviews. But I don't think this one is much better. It may be easier to assemble, but it's nothing special.

Very disappointed!, August 30, 2011

This review is from: Table in a Bag LLW1527 Small Low Wood Portable Table in a Bag, Brown (Lawn & Patio)

I got the item in a timely manner. The cross slats were too long and I could not insert to stabilize the table. There were no instructions. I contacted Brookstone and it took about 3 weeks for them to contact me. They e-mailed the instructions. The picture did not look like the table. The connecting strips of cord? or whatever it is were not going in the right direction. Instead of lengthwise they are on the width. So, the cross slats would not fit according to the directions. It's not worth sending back so it's just laying on the floor in my room. A total waste of time and a little money. Now it's been so long that I can't find the bag to send it back. Not a happy camper. I was just looking for a little table for my bedroom. Oh well...
