Toro Universal Leaf Collector with 8-Foot Hose #51500

This product is a good idea and thought it would be easy to use, but the vacuum hose keeps coming off the barrel cover attachment, other than that found it to be faster than contnually emptying the bag. ( after attaching with a wire tie )

Oregon Scientific RM313PNA Self-Setting Projection Clock, Silver

I love the idea of having the time on the wall at night. As for the daytime illumination, it is very difficult to see. This would be excellent if they put a little more time into perfecting the daytime display when you cannot see the seeling display.

Oregon Scientific Wireless Multi-Channel Thermometer

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Oregon Scientific


NOT SO GOOD TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN TRANSMITTER SHUT DOWN. NEW BATTERY, TWICE, MADE NO DIFFERENCE. UNABLE TO FIND A PATH TO CONTACT AMAZON. DID FIND A PATH AT OREGON SCIENTIFIC WHICH PROMISED A RESPONSE WITHIN 4 DAYS. BEEN 2 WEEKS NOW AND NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. RECEIVER STILL WORKS FINE BUT GIVES ONLY INDOOR TEMP. TRANSMITTER WAS IN SHELTERED SPOT AND SUFFERED NO DAMAGE OTHER THAN ZOMKING OUT.

BAD EXPERIENCE WITH BOTH COMPANIES

Leatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool with Nylon Sheath #830555

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


delivered on time. performed great as described. love the handle tools so far, but haven't used the saw. the fold-up feature is great for compactness; carrying case is heavy duty and appears durable. have been using the puner on roses with up to 3/4" dia branches. however, with garden gloves on, its hard to access the handle tools. outstanding value for the price thru amazon.com.

Chaney Instrument Galileo Thermometer w/ Glass Ball Barometer

Arriving in a timely manner, the thermometer equilibrated in a short time after setting it up. It is easy to read, accurate enough for domestic purposes, and attractive. The storm glass was easy to fill though filling it took longer than I supposed. Now the storm glass agrees with the local weather people and provides a great deal of satisfaction. I'm pleased with this product.

Oregon Scientific THT312 Wired Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer and Clock

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Oregon Scientific


After reading a ton of reviews, I decided all of the moderately priced digital thermometers had flaws so I went with the brand that overall seemed well rated (Oregon Scientific). I also read that remote sensors were problematic so I chose this model because it uses an attached (wired) sensor. I am delighted with the performance of this model. I followed the instructions and placed the outdoor sensor in a protected location (the wire fits easily under my window (even with it locked for the winter). I've checked the indoor temp against my thermostat and it is within a few tenths of a degree. I've checked the outdoor temp against weather.com and the local radio station and it is also within tenths of a degree. That's accurate enough for me! I love having ... Read More:

Racor Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift #PBH-1R

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


I bought this to make more space in the shed that we use for storage of the family's four bikes. It works, but it is not easy for the average 5th grader to use.

Application: Lift a 28 pound bike high enough to put another similar road bike underneath it. Make this easy enough that a 5th grader can do it.

Result: 5th grader can accomplish this, but it is difficult enough that both she and her mother complain about it. Thus, the 3 stars. This unit makes the job possible, but not easy.

Issues:
1. The rope in this version has been changed from a "cheap, cotton rope" as quoted from another review to a sturdy synthetic rope that doesn't seem to fray, but is hard for some of my family to grip onto. Inexplicably, this seemingly ... Read More:

It's a good product, but it cook faster than the info tells you to and you do need a propane tank.

Poulan Pro 18-Inch 4 HP Electric Chainsaw #400E

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


This is a great chainsaw. I spent some time researching the right one to get and Consumer reports was right on with this one. It works great, very powerful. I have used it to chop through 10" branches and nothing has even given it a hiccup yet. Cuts through trees like butter! It's great if you don't need a highly portable saw. You are limited only by your extension cord.

K&H Bird Bath Ice Eliminator

You will never regret buying this. It run at only 55 watts when the water temperature goes below 35 F and turns itself off when the water temperature gets up to 40 F. Effective, effecient and with a great warrantee.
