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

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


Although this product is a bit delicate, it does a job on leaves, shredding them down to a fine mulch. This "weed-wacker" in a drum reduced all the leaves in my compost pile to useable mulch for my beds this fall and I'll use it to reduce this year's leaves into more manageable particles for composting this year. Just put it over a garbage can and you can easily transport mulch to any part of your yard. It does put a lot into the air, so protect your eyes.

Exactly what I needed to replace my old damaged bag. Fitted it to my leaf vacuum, and was off, cleaning up the yard without a hitch! Brilliant!

AeroGarden Classic Replacement Grow Bulbs, Package of 2

I purchased my first AeroGarden 2 years ago and I just now needed to replace the lights. They lasted much longer than the company said they would. I recently purchased a second AeroGarden and am growing cherry tomatoes in one and romaine in the other! I truly have a black thumb, so I have been amazed at the success I've had with the AeroGarden!

Work's great. Just make sure the outside unit is out of direct sunlight or it will say it is much hotter than it is.

Fisher-Price Mickey's Surprise Clubhouse

I actually didn't buy this at Amazon but in a toy store. I was a little wary of buying it but my son picked it out. As I expected it does very little and everything comes apart and gets lost very easily. I dont know what Disney was thinking with this toy. Nothing interesting or educational about it. The only good thing is the hot dog song. It has a few cheesy buttons to push but nothing spectacular. Not worth your time.

I got this primarily to track the humidity levels in my home. The price was good enough that I could order three comfort meters, and so far they have worked fine for what I wanted.

Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper #NS118

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


I have a lot of leaves every fall and needed something other than a gas blower. They are just too heavy for me nowadays. So I bought the Cordless Electric Broom from Black and Decker. What a great job it does even if they are wet on the driveway. I am really happy with it. I also just bought another one for my 84 year old neighbor as his gas blower was just too heavy for him too. I would very much recommend it to anyone who has leaves!

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

Weber 7453 Premium Kettle Cover for 22-1/2-Inch Charcoal Grills

The cover works fine. It's a grill cover, so there's not a whole lot of innovation to be had. I however live in an area with wind storms, so I woke up one morning after a storm to find my grill naked, the cover nowhere to be found. I imagine it's somewhere in the Puget sound wedged in an Orca's blowhole. Some simple elastic on the bottom or grommet holes for bungees would have saved a whale.

Xantrex Technologies 851-0400 XPower Plus 400-Watt Inverter

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Outdoor Living
from: Xantrex Technologies


Several of the Xantrex inverters including this one have much looser frequency specs compared to the last generation of inverters which were typically 60 Hz +/- 0.01%. Many of the current crop of these inverters have 60 +/-4 Hz which is 60 Hz +/- 7%. To be fair, I've noticed a number of inverters made by other companies also have relaxed this spec. I measured the output frequency of several models and found their outputs to range from 58 Hz to 64 Hz. I didn't test to see if the frequency changed with temperature, input voltage, load, or other other factors. I suppose the reason for this change in specs is that these manufacturers are now cost cutting to the extent of eliminating a 30 cent quartz crystal. The frequency variation is most likely to cause problems ... Read More:
