Toro Power Sweep 7 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower #51585

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


We recently acquired an property with a lot of leafy trees and this is my first blower. When the shipment arrived, I thought that Amazon shipped the wrong item because it came in a tiny box. Snap the tube on, connect the cord and it's ready to use.

The power switch is somewhat touchy. When trying to select low speed, it is easy to accidentally bump it into high speed. I accidentally blasted away a bunch of bark and made a crater. Oops. During low speed use, it's also easy to accidentally bump the power switch to off.

The power receptacle is mounted on a short cable tail on the back end. I have several other lawn tools that have the receptacle integrated into the shell with a hook to retain the cord and I prefer that ... Read More:

Flowtron The Ultimate Mulcher 8 Amp Electric Leaf Shredder #LE-900

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


Works as advertised - especially on dry leaves
I did not find it to be overly noisy or dusty
similar to an electric weed-wacker.
Just do not over feed, and keep the sticks out.

AeroGarden Space-Saver 6 with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit - Black

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


I'm very happy Aerogarden decided to make a slightly smaller unit; their regular gardens take up so much space.

The Spacesaver comes in a huge box, but does not weigh much at all. The bulk of the box (and the unit) is nothing but some pieces of plastic. Installation is a breeze (if you read the manual correctly) and when it is all put together you do end up with a pretty sturdy setup, I just can't help feel that it is all rather cheap for the price.

The unit itself has a neat control panel with indicators for all the various settings. All in all a good item, and a perfect gift if you can find it at the right price.

Gardman USA 280019 Wild Bird Feeding Station Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Gardman USA


Great idea and doesn't cost an arm and a leg; perhaps just an arm....
This unit is very easy to assemble, looks like it will not be a fast corrosion problem. The birdbath, tho small will freeze in the winter, so shallow is a good thing for this year round product.

The birds seem to be attracted to all of the items I've hung on it [the feeders are NOT included], and they like the wire mesh open tray feeder very much and THAT IS a part of the feeding station you purchase.

All in all, it's the best all around feeding pole I've purchased... and oh yeah, it's tall so it can be seen easily out the windows, even up close to the house!

So far this clock has worked without a hitch. I love having the inside and outside temperature available and the short forcast and weather trend.

Krinner 20" XXL GenieTree Stand #94720

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


The tree stand is the best one I ever have had. It was so easy to use. My husband held the tree straight and I pumped the handle a few times and the tree is extremely stable - straight too. There is a water level indicator that pops up. I put the tree skirt around it so I can tell if I need to put in more water easily. I heartily recommend it.

AeroGarden Salad Chef Pack

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


The AeroGarden had been so fun to use, and the Salad Chef Pack is especially gratifying in that I can just pluck a few leaves and put it on a sandwich or make a small salad. The grandkids think this is just the best idea ever. I purchased the AeroGarden for my father who has been a gardener for years. He still loves the outdoor activity of his garden (at 92) but is having a good time with this as well. He shows his great granddaughters how it works, shows them when the plants start growing, has them help harvest, and makes tasty treats for them. Now, how much more fun could you want?

Victor Electronic Mouse Trap

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


Easy to use/set. All of the features work as advertised. Mine caught three mice in less than two days.
Even if you're not squeamish about dealing with the dead mice, I would still highly recommend this trap! Mechanical traps will sometimes snap on their own or, more often, will stick and not snap at all. Either way the mouse gets a free snack. Not so with this Victor trap - just bait it with peanut butter, turn it on (it tells you that it's set) and place it where the mice travel. No mouse that walks into the little tunnel will be walking out again!

La Crosse Technology WS-1025 Digital Window Thermometer

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

January 27, 2007
I enjoyed the WS-1025 for a few years, but eventually the humidity has caused LCD segments to fail, starting at the bottom ("min") and moving up. Also, sunlight does cause it to read high. I'm buying another which I hope will last as long, because it is pretty cool looking and easy to read.
