La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger

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


This charger works great, tells me if my old batteries are still viable, slow-charges, rapid-charges, reconditions batteries, is fairly compact in size, and the price is acceptable. Plus, it's really freakin' easy to use. I don't think I've ever given 5 stars before, but this product deserves it.

I do wish I'd saved some money and gotten the BC-700, because I really don't need the extras.

One note: full reconditioning of old or unused batteries can take days... No two ways around that, it's not the fault of the charger, and very very few chargers do a real reconditioning.

Honestly, I don't see any reason to buy any other charger for A or AA batteries. And, no, I have absolutely no ties to this company nor ... Read More:

Scotts 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower #2000-20

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Scotts


I've been very pleased with the quality of cutting by this mower. It provides a consistent look as long as you don't let your lawn get out of control. However, no push mower does well if you let your grass get too long.

While the wide 20" style may sound appealing, I wouldn't recommend going that wide if your lawn has a lot of things to maneuver around such as trees or curvy landscaping. It's much easier to navigate narrower models around tight turns. The handle on this model isn't sturdy enough to handle much other than back & forth mowing.

Black & Decker AF-100-3ZP Replacement Spool-3 Pack

from: Black & Decker


I purchased these as back-up for when the line in the weed wacker runs out. As of yet I have not needed to use them, so I can not give any kind of review on them. I did how ever feel that the price was reasonable.

AeroGrow AeroGarden with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Aerogrow


The Aerogarden is so much better than what I ever expected! The herbs that I started with continued to grow for 5 months. I had enough herbs to share with friends and still have some to dry. This unit worked so well, that I now have a second unit. All the growing pods have the listed days it takes for the seeds to germinate. Those days have been exact in each pod I have used. I have also harvested the herbs, greens, etc. at the approximate time they have listed as beginning harvesting times. I have salad greens and the salsa garden growing at the same time--great fresh salads etc.! I have recommended this product to many of my friends and continue to do so.

Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Contech


I wouldn't have a garden if it wasn't for these sprinklers. Before I started using this product the deer were eating everything in my garden. Once I set up the sprinklers the deer ceased to be a problem. They deer appear to remember that the sprinklers are there and now keep their distance -- sometimes right on the periphery of the sprinkler's sensing range. I currently have four in use with two back-ups in the shed. Despite being a few years old and having been through some rough winters, mineral deposits, harsh sun, etc., they still work. Highly recommended for keeping deer and turkeys away. In my experience, cats are less deterred.

Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum #51599

All is good except it is a little heavy. Front nose piece restricts the air flow a little too much. Therefore, I do not use it. Haven't tried the vacuum yet.

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Black & Decker


A very nice light weight weedwacker. Cordless design works well for me because my yard is spread out. Having two chargeable batteries means you can always switch to the backup if your battery runs low. Auto string feed is also very handy. Overall an excellent choice.
