I have purchased some functional items at Honest Ed's, such as plates and jars, but I would not trust them with any item that is composed of more than one substance. For example:
- Do not buy blenders at Honest Eds. The blender that I purchased promptly began smoking after one use. No returns.
- Do not buy scales at Honest Eds. The scale that I purchased would not read past forty pounds, although it was clearly intended for adult humans. No returns.
- Do not buy can openers at Honest Eds. The can opener that I purchased broke -- springs and gears everywhere -- upon opening the second can. No returns.
- Do not buy scissors at Honest Eds. The scissors that I purchased had their handles fall off within three uses. No returns.
