La Crosse Technology WS-9013U-CBP Wireless Temperature Station

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: La Crosse Technology

December 21, 2004
I've own one of these for the past five years, and they are great. There is nothing better than being able to know how hot or cold it is outside, while I am getting ready for work. I recently bought one of the units that give you the three day weather forcast. I wasn't sure how much better it would be, but it is nice, being able to know wheather it will be sunny, cloudy or rainy. (We don't get much snow down in Memphis)

But anyway, the reason I'm writing is because of the problem people have mentioned with the outdoor temperature not showing up. You really have to follow the directions correctly. I thought mine was broke as well, but I had forgoten to wait to set the time on the clock, until the outdoor temperature displays on the ... Read More:

Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: Toro

January 01, 2007
As a blower it works very well - lots of power to move even accumulated piles of leaves. As a vacuum, it also works well and does a good job of chopping the leaves - carrying the bag on ones shoulder is a little awkward but worth getting used to for those areas where you have to get between lots of shrubs and other spots that are hard to rake or blow.

La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: La Crosse Technology


I've looked at rechargeable batteries as a solution for a long time, but always from a distance. Three years ago, I picked up a $20 retail store charger and battery combo and took it for a spin. Within a month, the batteries wouldn't hold a charge. I didn't understand it and didn't research at the time, so I tossed it all.

Recently, I started looking at rechargeables again. Between Xbox 360 controllers, remotes, and cameras, rechargeables just seemed to make sense if they could ever work right. That's when I went into overdrive research mode and realized that my retail store charger was overcharging and destroying batteries. Everything lead me back to the BC-900. I'm totally satisfied.

For anyone curious about revisions, ... Read More:

La Crosse Technology WS-8035U-IT-SAL Wireless Weather Station with Remote Temperature and Humidity Gauge

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: La Crosse Technology


This item was easy to set up. Make sure you use fresh battiers otherwise it will affect the signal strength to the remote. Also before you mount the remote make sure you can get a signal to the station.I just set the remote on the fence near the desired location and if the signal worked then I mounted it. Only things that is strange is that the outside temperture reading somethings is way off; but it soon correct it self. It does what I needed it to do!

AeroGrow AeroGarden with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit, Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: Aerogrow

February 10, 2007
I have had my Aerogarden since May'08, and as of this review, 11/13/08, the first seed kit is still going.

All you have to do is read the directions, takes about 5 mins, and turn it on. 7 weeks later I had fresh herbs to use in my cooking.

Do you know how great it is to put fresh basil on all of your italian dishes? Without even going to the store?

I love to cook, and using the fresh herbs has opened up a new arena.

Some of these herbs are $5 for 4 oz at the store in those little plastic containers. This is right in your home.

The "value" of it will pay for itself in the long run, but defiantly, not within the first year of so.

Flat out, this is a great machine, it does what it says, and ... Read More:

Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: Toro


We just had our first snowfall in Chicagoland and this snow thrower came through better than expected. I was a little nervous as some reviewers said it did not work well on wet snow. We had 3-5 inches of wet, heavy snow last night and this thing chewed through it like the Klumps at Old Country Buffet. I cannot recommend this item enough!!!

La Crosse Technology TX6U Wireless Temperature Sensor

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > OutdoorLiving
from: La Crosse Technology


We moved and couldn't find the remote sensor so I purchased a new one. It has worked well except after I first insalled it, it quit working and I had to reset it. So far, it has been working fine. I've had it for over a month now.
