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

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Patio- Lawn and Garden
from: Toro

January 01, 2007
All I can say is "WOW!" After reading about this blower/vacuum in Consumer Reports, and how well it worked, I decided to purchase it. I searched all over the internet, but found that Amazon's "amazing" price of just under $70 was unbeatable. That included free shipping. My blower/vac arrived the next day. Lucky me! Anyhow, It has PLENTY of power. Matter of fact, it has more power than the gas powered backpack blower I had, which pleasantly surprised me. I used the Toro to clean my gutters, and blow and vacuum my leaves, and it did all 3 jobs easily. Again, I'm "blown away" with the amount of power it has. The only "inconvenience" is having to pull an extension cord around with it, but you can solve that by buying the longest extension cord you ... Read More:

La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger

from: La Crosse Technology


There is a hidden danger to buying the BC-900 (and I'm sure it applies to the BC-700) that hasn't been written about yet.

When you catch up testing and refreshing and charging all of your rechargeable batteries, there's a let-down or feeling of ennui as you realize there are no more batteries to fix. It makes you want to run radios and flashlights just to run down the batteries.

Perhaps we can call it the "empty battery nest syndrome"...

La Crosse Technology WS-9611U Wireless Sun/Moon Weather Station with 15 Advanced Forecast Icons

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Patio- Lawn and Garden
from: The Weather Channel

February 24, 2006
I bought this because it seemed like a cool idea. However I noticed that the temp readings are depressingly inaccurate, ESPECIALLY the outdoor temp. I have access to very expensive equipment at work that reads temperatures and this was off by about 4-5 degrees for the indoor temp and about 10-12 degrees for outdoor temp. Man I would be embarassed to release a product that performed so poorly at the job it was supposed to do. It's cool in concept and wouldn't be a bad idea if you don't care about the useless temp readings.

AeroGrow AeroGarden with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit, Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Patio- Lawn and Garden
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 ... Read More:

La Crosse Technology WS-7014CH-IT Wireless Weather Station

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Patio- Lawn and Garden
from: La Crosse Technology

January 15, 2007
I am very satisfied with this item. I like its great look (matches with my room decor), performance, accuracy of data and particularly instant (continuous) data transfer from the outdoor Swiss made precision sensor that came with the weather station. The forecast icon (Sunny, Cloudy and rainy) based on changing barometric pressure provides a good visual indication of expected weather. Along with above it has a good digital clock showing atomic time and date with provision for manual setting plus alarm function. I would highly recommend this item to others for home or office use.

Great product. We enjoy having the time and temp alternately flash onto bedroom ceiling, so we don't have to roll over and look at the clock in the middle of the night.

Toro Universal Leaf Collector with 8-Foot Hose #51500

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Patio- Lawn and Garden
from: Toro

September 12, 2006
The design team did not think this through. The hose continuously blows loose from the bag. A snap attachment on the inside of the bag would have solved this problem. Until I find away to rectify this flaw I will use the carry along bag that came with the blower. Right now it is useless.
