Spare Me A Review

Bought a B&D cordless trimmer and while I have no trouble rewinding a string trimmer spool by hand, thought this was cheap enough to have sitting in the garage to avoid the chore.
So far, I've had really good life from the original spool in the trimmer, so haven't even needed to go into the spares yet. If the replacements work as well as what came in the trimmer (and it should be the same stuff right?) I don't know if I'll ever have to buy more of these!

extra string

Don't need it now but someday I will and will be glad I have it. It's a tough product and very easy to install

home use

it is my openion that the prewound spools is a great idea and convient and the price at amazon i do not believe they can be beat they are dependable to work they feed out when needed and not one of 1/2 dozen has not tangled i tried 3 and in turn ordered 18 spools more compleately satisfied i saved $2.32 a spool from 2 other competors

Good purchase

It's always a good experience to purchase items through Amazon.com. It was easy to find this product on Amazon. The product was delivered as promised. The product was what I needed.

Black And Decker Replacement Spools

I love my Black and Decker cordless trimmer. It's east to use and the Trimmer
Spools are easy to replace.

Excellent Blower, vacuum not so good ,,,

Excellent blower ... Vacuuming up leaves, not so good ?????? One thing I dislike about the vacuum portion is there is a LOT of dust that comes out of the collector bag when vacuuming (not good) ... Blower good ...
Vacuuming not so good ... With that in mind, I would recommend this product for its blower qualities ...

REVIEW TORO 51599 BLOWER/VACUUM

I HAVE TWO MATURE DECIDUOUS TREES IN MY BACKYARD, HERE IN PHOENIX WE GET A NUMBER OF MONSOON STORMS WITH VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS, I DONT LIKE BLOWERS THEY JUST MOVE STUF AROUND IN MY OPINION AND CAN POLUTE THE AIR WITH DUST AND DEBRIS, SO I PURCHASED THIS TORO MACHINE FOR THE VACUUM. I HAVE USED IT 3 TIMES SO FAR, IT WORKS WELL, I AM SATISFIED, I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS GOOD FOR WHAT YOU GET, THE QUALITY IS THERE. I USE IT MOSTLY FOR CONCRETE WALKWAYS AND DRIVEWAY, I REALY LIKE THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL WICH IS CONVENIENTLY PLACED, THE VACUUM IS POWERFUL AND I HAD NO TROUBLE CLEANING UP ALL THE LEAVES QUICKLY.
YES YOU DO HAVE TO MANIPULATE THE CORD, I FOUND THE BEST WAY IS TO WORK AWAY FROM THE OUTLET. EMPTYING THE BAG WAS EASY, I LIKE HOW THE IMPELER CHOPPED UP THE LEAVES, I USE THEM AS MULCH AROUND MY PLANTS.
MY ONLY GRIPE IS THE BAG WOULD BE EASIER TO WORK WITH IF IT WAS STRAPPED TO THE BACK LIKE A BACK PACK, TORO COULD EASILY MAKE A FLEXIBLE TUBE TO CONECT TO THE MACHINE. OVERALL I WOULD BUY THIS ITEM AGAIN. MJS.Toro 51599 Ultra 12 amp Variable-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum with Metal Impeller

Works well, very powerful

Works well, seems to be pretty powerful. Not sure if the vacuum part is too great, it does tend to clog, but I have nothing to compare it to.

worth every penny

This leaf blower is amazing. Super powerful, easy to use, very easy to put together and surprisingly, not obnoxiously loud. If you want to blow your leaves and trash into the neighbors yard, this is what you need. If not, you still need this machine if leaves drive you crazy. I have cottonwood trees that shed leaves every single day and I was sick & tired of raking and picking them up. After reading the reviews on this leaf blower, I ordered it from Amazon, got it very quickly and am extremely happy I did. Unless someone cuts down these annoying trees of mine, I will always have to deal with leaves and this amazing machine makes my life a little easier. Worth every penny.

It worked the first time

The first time I used this Toro electric blower it worked great although is nosier at higher speeds than expected. A week later when I tried to use it again nothing happened. When I called Toro they were very pleasant, and said they suspected a safety switch of some sort had stuck and if I shipped it back they would send me a new one in a few weeks. They do not pay for shipping so I am $22 poorer and back to using my B&D cordless while I wait for a replacement. Not a good intro to my first Toro.

AWESOME PRODUCT - HOWEVER

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R15ZVCQFRWLE79 The deer no longer think our garden is a midnight buffet as the Scarecrow works like a charm. Yes, I have to remember to turn it off when I go in the backyard, but it does not spray that much, mostly makes noise which startles the forest critters. Though our neighbours grandkids think it is blast to run through on hot day, which is fine. However the spray head is made completely of plastic and after 1 1/2 summers of duty, the nub that holds that top flapper broke off. Lucky enough the plastic head is a standard design and I found the same head (metal construction) at Home Depot on one of those ground stakes, bought,took it off the stake and installed it into the Scarecrow and back in business. I would still recommend this unit highly as it really does work and is worth the effort if you want the deer to stay out of your garden.

Wonderful product!

I have had problems with cats using my yard and garden as a litter box. I tried everything from using organic, chemicals, and even going midevil by buring boards with nails sticking up. But those buggers would find an empty spot and go there. So this was my last resort and it has been a blessing! No more stinky cat poop in my yard :) If you have problems with any animals I would recommend this product!!

The darn thing works.

I purchased this thing because I grow and sell Koi in a large outdoor pond. We had a great big blue heron come a callin in addition to the kingfishers and osprey in our area and I just wasn't feeling very secure. I didn't want to use netting to protect the fish as the natural surroundings would be compromised. I hooked up this thing in less than 20 minutes and had it working. It works like a charm and no more big bad birds! PS put the stickers on before you bring it outdoors, its alot earlier. I will be buying another when my additional pens are complete. [...]

animals beware

My dogs do not like it. My wife likes her garden dog free, I do not like the hesitation before it comes on. It could be a little quicker. The sprinkler's spray cannot be adjusted. It has a single stream of water and it shoots high.

Did what I wanted it to

I wanted to keep the cats out of my garden and it has done just that.

amazing and fun !

this product works well, even though cheaply built.

The insects explode with a pleasant 'bang' and it is so satisfying that one soon goes looking for more to kill..

The battery cover is cheap and may get loose. I placed some duct tape over that to hold it in place.

In terms of design I would prefer just a single switch (no doubt lawyers made them use two - you know, for safety) but one does get used to holding both to switch it on. One can also easily open the unit up and solder one switch closed.

After being given one and find one at a yard sale I bought 6 more!

Great fun and it works too!

We found the bug zapper first in Canada, but had trouble finding them in local stores. So we were thrilled to find these available through Amazon. My husband delights to wage war against the black flies coming over from the stables next door. You know you scored when you see the spark! Don't buy just one. These make wonderful (dare I say unique?) hostess gifts for anyone who might be pestered with flying pests.

Frustrated No Longer!!

I just bought this AMAZING handheld bug zapper, and I couldn't be more pleased! I had a stream of yellowjackets entering one point in my soffit, and nothing seemed to work until in desperation I bought this racket. Within minutes of opening it, I was out there getting them with extreme satisfaction. They would hit it and ZAP! Dead. Even my husband enjoyed getting these pests after returning home from work....it's more fun than it probably should be, and I highly recommend it!

Only kills ONE bug!

Worked great for ONE fly! Then it died. Tried new batteries, etc., everything. Called company for replacement since I was not happy with that level of quality. They promised a replacement. I called again 3 months later since no replacement had arrived. Another 3 month wait. Called company again. They had never heard of me or any replacement order. Not ordering THEIR products again!

Zaps bugs dead!

This is the best pest control purchase we have made. Holding the two buttons activates the electricity, and once you touch a insect with the exposed wires, there's a loud POP and everything we have zapped immediately falls to the ground.

There's only two things I want to point out...

#1 - The ZAP isn't strong enough to kill everything. Some bigger bugs will need to be stepped on as they're stunned.

#2 - Don't use this as a flyswatter. If you bring this zapper down hard and make full contact on a table or wall, the neck plastic will crack. You want to just touch the bugs with the wires, not smack them flat.

Just waving this around outdoors brought down more flies and mosquitoes than anything else we have tried. Highly recommended.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do

Great chimney. Works every time, gets the coals going evenly. Very durable and clearly will last as long as our Weber grill. Great accessory for anyone who wants to avoid the taste of lighter fluid or Matchlight charcoal -- I didn't realize how much I could actually taste the accelerant until it was gone!

Very useful

Saw this and thought why not? I was tired of struggling with lighter fluid anyway. I've used it once and it works as advertised. The coals get hot very fast though and won't last that long. No real complaints, my only concern is how long it'll last.

How did I live without it?

This Chimney Starter is really fantastic. I don't know why I waited so long to get one, and this particular one is the perfect size & quality. I imagine it will last a long time, but if it ever does wear out, I'm sure I'll buy another one immediately.

Great replacement

This is a great replacement for a charcoal chimney I got almost 10 years ago, that finally fell apart (due to leaving it outside year round). This one definitely feels sturdier and the hinged metal handle is very useful when trying to slowly pour out charcoal for indirect cooking. I certainly hope this one lasts as long as the last (it certainly seems like it will), though I will try to help it by remembering to store it away after use.

If you grill with charcoal there are several reasons to get this...

First the obvious... this thing is magical in how it gets coals to light. The description and majority of other comments are dead on; two pieces of newspaper in the bottom, coals in the top, set it down on your grill grate, light the paper (one match), and in 10 to 15 minutes the coals are blazing red hot!

Implied is that you don't have to bother with charcoal lighter fluid or self-lighting coals. That stuff smells bad and can't do anything to make barbecuing any healthier. Similarly, having a flammable liquid near your grill can't make things safer. :)

One additional benefit (not that you need more reasons to get one of these) is that it allows you to use a consistent amount of coals each time. That means consistent heat and consistent results. Sure, you can "eyeball it" but with this you don't have to bother.

I just wish I had got this sooner. The saving in lighter fluid alone would have paid for the chimney and I could have avoided the petroleum smell.

Broken bulb and Missin pad for starters

I bought two traps. The amazon box came poorly packaged and both product boxes appeared to have been opened. The product boxes are made of a paper-thin material as well.

I discovered that one box was missing a pad and the other had a broken bulb. Between the two I had a working trap but getting the glue pad to stay in place was a challenge. Perhaps, I had a defective trap but there was nothing to hold the pad in place and I couldn't very well press it down into place with the glue-side up.

The instructions really didn't cover inserting the glue pad, just said peel it off and place in bottom of trap. Yeah right. The process took me 10 minutes, some scotch tape, and looked like something out of a Laurel and Hardy film.

It is an attractive nightlight though.

As advertised

Nice to see something that works as advertised. I bought one of these traps and put it in the living room at night to see how many fleas it would attract. I had previously sprayed this room and didn't expect there to be any fleas, but it attracted and trapped about 50 the first night; more the next night. I ordered 2 more to place in other rooms and on the back porch where one of my cats spends most of her time. Great aid to be used in conjunction with other treatments. I definitely recommend this item.

Works. But...

I bought 3 of these units in an effort to avoid using chemicals in my home. 2 of the 3 work great. The light-bulb in the 3rd burned out as soon as it was plugged in and I have had a difficult time getting the issue resolved with the manufacturer. Buy extra sticky pads because they are only good for 2-4 weeks.

Catches fleas, but some traps are faulty

My daughter came home from a visit with her dad, and unbeknownst to me, he was battling a flea problem. Long story short, my carpets were infested within a couple of weeks. I've used Adams carpet powder, boric acid, and Adams foggers, constant vacuuming, and they show back up within a few days. I ordered 6 of these, and within 24 hours, the first one wouldn't light. It has been a week, the 2 traps in my living room have quite a lot of fleas stuck to them, and the other rooms' traps have at least 10-15 each. Last night, a bulb burned out on another trap, and I've replaced it with the bulb from the first trap, but it still won't light (so 2 traps are useless.) I personally think if you bought the sticky refills and got some cheap desk lamps, aimed the light at the trap, it'd do the same thing. Currently, any fleas that jump on us get picked off and thrown onto the sticky part of the trap. I just ordered a few cans of Ultracide, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to rip out all of the carpets in my home. Drastic, but better than having fleas.

It will hurt a flea.

Non-toxic and 24-hour operation that offers visual evidence of its effectiveness. One wonders why these are not readily available in local hardware stores.

Weber Genesis Gas Grill Cover

EXCELLENT quality and price. If you spend the money for a Weber, you need a quality cover and this is it!

weber 7553 grill cover

This grill cover is everything I was looking for in a quality grill cover. It covers the grill completely, and the large velcro straps secure it nicely. A very good product.

This is the nicest cover

We just upgraded our grill and thought we would upgrade our cover as well. Wow, This cover is made of a very heavy rubbery material and fits our grill perfectly. The velcro straps keep the cover secure although you think it would never need the extra help. Kudos to you Weber! Another job Well Done

Fits like a glove

What else would you expect from Weber. Just make sure you put the the right grill when ordering, because it fits perfect (no slop for different size grills).

perfect cover for the perfect grill

Fits perfectly with Weber Genesis grill. The material is thick and heavy and it should last. I will see how it will do when it starts to rain. I might actually put the grill into the storage shed for the winter.

Great All-Purpose Thermometer/Hygrometer

My basement is a bit damp, and I use this product to monitor the humidity down there. I have the main unit setup in my kitchen, with a remote sensor in the basement to monitor this humidity. I love being able to check on the status of my basement's humidity level from the comfort of my kitchen - which really helps me decide on if I need to run the dehumidifer.

The product is well constructed, and a piece of cake to setup - with a great display that's easy to read. If you're looking for a basic thermomenter/hygrometer with multiple sensors, then look no further!

An excellent product that will help you save energy, and your electric bill

I bought 2 sets of this product, so I have two base stations and two remote sensors. I put them all side by side, along with two other older Bionaire units that may be the predecessor of the model, because the design look the same as the base station. All 6 units show temperature within a 1 degree F. The Honeywell units read higher humidity than the Bionaire, by about 5%, which is very good, and that's really all one would ever need for home use. Older analog humidity sensors are highly untrustworthy in my experience.

The reason I bought 2 sets is because I wanted two remote sensors, one in my screened porch for outdoor conditions and one for the basement. I only need 1 base station, but the cost of the set is almost the same as the remote sensor, so it makes sense to buy 2 sets. each base station will read up to 3 sensors, but they would be the same 3. So in my case, both base stations monitor the basement and the outdoor conditions.

A lot of people run a dehumidifier in the basement, which is really like running an air conditioner without venting the heat and moisture outdoor, so it can get the basement quite warm. In the summer, even when the main floor is not so warm, i would run the AC. The cooler dry air naturally goes down to the basement if I leave the door open. This cuts down the use of the dehumidifier a lot. They use about the same amount of power (500W or so). The AC vents the heat and moisture outdoor, keep the house more comfortable, so it's a better use of the same electric power.

On a hot day, when the sun goes down, the outside temperature cools off and one is tempted to turn off the AC and open the windows. However, quite often the outdoor humidity gets high at the same time, because the air holds a lot more moisture when it's hot. So the air cools off the relative humidity may become very high. Opening the windows would save energy on the AC, but it would immediately raise the humidity in the basement and cause the dehumidifier to run, consuming the same power saved by the AC. Only when the outside air is both cool and dry, I would open the windows. Having this Honeywell system lets me make this kind of decisions that I couldn't otherwise make. It minimizes the use of the dehumidifier in the basement and keeps the house more comfortable in the summer. In the winter, the air is dry indoor and outdoor, I don't really need an outdoor sensor. It's better to keep the extra sensor inside so that the battery won't die.

Its a Hit!

This is a great product.
I had a humidifier and was able to track the humidity very well!
It does seem to work with whatever way I could validate it(Am not a great techie on the Temp or Humidity measurement). But I do believe this one is a good product.

Performs as Advertised

Referencing the Honeywell TM005X
It does what you would expect it to do, namely the remote sensor module[RSM] reports(transmits) the temp/humid
to the indoor receiver unit with an update every 45 seconds. The modules I received agree within .2 deg F and
0 % humidity when left indoors side by side for at least half and hour. At my location, I'm thinking a second outdoor module would be an asset. Instead of ordering a separate module .... [at/near/more than] the price of
the TM005X, I'll just re-order the TM005X pair of modules & place the 2nd receiver unit in the kitchen.

Excellent producct

Works perfectly. Easy to set up. Only using the one (supplied) remote sensor (in addition to the sensor in the indoor display unit). Wish I'd bought it sooner.

Will get rid of ants, just give it time...and repeat yearly.

We live in a neighborhood that was apparently built on top of a massive ant farm. They show up all around the house (especially after watering the grass/plants) and enter the kitchen on almost a yearly basis.

After seeing a several scouts on the counter, I put one of the bait stations out. Within a few hours, there was a massive stream of them (and even a few larger "soldier" ants), so many that I actually put more stations out to make sure there was plenty of poison for them. Most reviews online say that their colonies were dead after a day or two, but for us it took over a week. Yes, the packaging says it could take up to 2 weeks, but I was hoping for the shorter duration, as having hundreds of ants running around near your cooktop isn't appealing. Thankfully, towards the end you only have to clean up a few clumps of dead ants around the station, as the rest seem to die back in their nest. Note: if you spill the liquid, you'll have to scrape it off the counter and wipe the area with a soapy sponge, as the stuff is more like syrup than water.

We've set these stations up in the past, and they did get rid of the ants after a while, but it's annoying to have to do it every year. Soon I'll be buying those outdoor stations, as I'd rather kill them closer to the source, before they can get close to the house!

Works great in all conditions

This trap has taken care of the small invaders indoors and out. The one used outside sat in 90+ heat and rain and the ants kept coming back. They stopped coming after 3 days and have not been seen since. In my kitchen, the first army disappeared after two days of working on the trap. The second took three days. In all cases once a few found the trap, they would soon stop wondering anywhere else and begin swarming to the trap.

Works like a charm

This stuff is great. We had a recent ant coup in our house and had tried some other off-the-shelf products and none were really working. The ants unionized and went right around our other traps. Little punks. So, on the advice of a friend and the reviews here, I ordered some of this wonderful liquid death for these unwanted ants. What results! I put the traps down Monday night at 6pm. In 2 hours, the place was SWARMING with ants. It's hard to show restraint and not kill them all immediately, but I knew I had to let them have their little fun, grab their friends, and take this wonderful ant genocide juice back to their nest. Within 2 days (less than that, really), the antpocalypse had come and gone. Minus maybe the one straggler, the ants were gone and just a pile of dead ant corpses remained. Just wonderful. I howled with laughter as I scooped their little bodies into the trash. Get this stuff, and enjoy doing your part to rid the planet of your share of ants! :)

work amazingly well

The only complain I have for this product is that it took 2 weeks before shipping. When I first found this product, I already purchased all brands that I can find in walmart and target. None of them worked. Then I found this one, and ordered it through 2nd day shipping. I got several emails from amazon saying that they are temporarily out of stock. I was like: is it so popular? But I decided to wait, and it turns out to be a correct decision.


I just got it today, and put 6 packs at suspicious places. 2 hours later, I checked them, and it was like filming some horrified B movie. Ants are everywhere near the bait, and you can clearly tell where the nest is from their routes. It's interesting that at places where there are no heck nearby, I get nothing at all, even it's under the dining table or my son's highchair (you know how messy a baby is). But near the nests, I can't tell the total number, like several hundreds of ants? Geez!

One tip to find heck, which might be useful for apartment/condo renters like us, the nests are often close to the corners of wall, faucets or sinks and appliances that need a hole behind to stay on the wall.

I'm still waiting for the death of ants, since so far they are pretty active. I know it takes a while, and I'm quite confident on the incoming results.

Good luck to everyone!

great product

this stuff is great. it attracts the ants then they carry the stuff back to their nest. it was full of ants within a minute of setting it down. it took about a week before i noticed there were no more ants around. after all of the products i have tried this seems to be the most effective. i still use ant blocker around the perimeter of my house but i will continue to use this stuff too.

Problem with inverter power cord

This inverter worked well for 18 months to power a 16" TV from our car cigarette lighter.
I measured the AC load on the inverter at only 20 watts, so I expected good inverter reliability.
This week, when the 30Amp fuse in the car that protects the cigarette lighter blew, I suspected
the inverter was shorted. After troubleshooting the problem I discovered the inverter was OK!
The short was in the 2-pin connector that plugs into the inverter. After cutting away part
of the rubber connector, I saw that the insulation on the wires had pulled slightly away
from the pins *inside* the moulded rubber connector allowing the stranded wires to touch.
There was very little clearance between the wires at that point and no insulating barrier.
I was able to repair the connector and used epoxy to keep the wires from touching.
Everything works again! I'm writing this review to alert others to this problem, so that they
won't assume the inverter shorted and failed. The problem is easily repairable.
Duracell 813-0291-07 175 Watt DC to AC Pocket Power Source Inverter

Haven't used long, but so far works great, beautiful design.

Assuming it holds up, this is just what I needed, in a smaller, sleeker design than expected. I use it for a moist heat blanket for physical therapy. Very convenient.

It works

So far I've only used it to charge my cell phone on a long trip, and it has worked great for that. The only thing I've noticed is that it will sometimes make a low volume but high pitched squealing sound for a very short time when first turning it on. It goes away after a minute so it really isn't an issue.

Mr. Inverter

Needed an inverter for a 25 day road trip, this powered and charged many of my devices including a MacBook Pro, mobile phones, powered USB hubs (to charge USB devices) and camera batteries. I was impressed it charged my laptop while I was using it since I had a previous inverter that, when I plugged in an (old) laptop with battery, something happened with the battery and it wouldn't charge. Anyway, great product. 175 watts (or as someone said, 130 watts or so through DC) is enough for your typical electronic devices, just check your watts before buying.

Ok, but not great

It's rated for 130 watt continous, but it's probably closer to 100watt. Used it for my laptop with a 120 watt draw. Worked fine for about 3 days, then overloaded. has to switch to my ac plug from my old laptop rated @ 90watt. It works but the laptop doesn't recharge as fast. The fan on the inverter works great, keeps unit cool even on 90+ degree days

Glad I purchased it

I live in south central Wisconsin & the mosquito's have been terrible this year. I live in a rural sub division & the lots are all 1/2 to 1 acre in size. I placed the BK-80 about 20 feet from my patio & it is doing a good job of slowing my mosquito & moth population down. When I also use my Burgess fogger on the nights when we are going to be in the yard I have no mosquito's at all. I would have given it a 5 star rating, but after one week one bulb quit working, I called the 800# for Flowtron & got a recording telling me to leave a message & they would get back to me, they never did. I am a very handy person so I removed the top cover & looked at the two bulb starters & noticed that one was loose, so I just pushed it in a little & all is fine now. I used the one attractant cartridge that came with it but I couldn't notice any difference with it. I don't think it's worth cost of them, they are WAY over priced. If you buy one make sure that you go with the BK-80 my neighbor went with a smaller model & is not happy. He says he is going to get a BK-80.

disappointed

I live in FL and have a mosquito problem. I bought this after reading all the positive reviews for mosquito control. I knew better, all studies show this technology is not really effective for biting insects... I tried over several nights leaving the units on for several hours around dusk. It killed a lot of insects, but only a handful of mosquitoes.
Now I need to buy what I should have in the first place, a mosquito magnet or mosquito deleto.

A good way to deal with large numbers of mosquitoes

I have been using the Flowtron BK-80D 80 watt bug light for over two weeks now. I purchased it because this summer has been great for mosquitoes but terrible for me. (One time returning to the house I saw my face covered with mosquitoes in the reflection on the sliding glass patio door. I killed five with one slap of my hand.) During the day I am in and out, making repeated trips to the garden and shed. I don't like to wear DEET continually and dislike the oily feeling that repellents which seem to work best have. When I first installed the Flowtron around dusk the day it was delivered, it sounded like a popcorn popper - it was zapping mosquitoes so rapidly. As another reviewer said, "...these things do not discriminate between beneficial bugs that we need for pollination of plants and such. Therefore, there is valid scientific criticism regarding their indiscriminate outdoor usage." Because I don't want to be killing beneficial insects I DID NOT remove any of the plastic protective bars which keep larger insects and moths from reaching the electrified rods. They don't bother me, I won't kill them. Also, I found that mosquitoes swarm around sunset. After a week of seeing lots of other corpses stuck to the rods (and having the clean the unit every day) I attached my Flowtron to an outdoor timer (available from Amazon - get a mechanical timer such as the Woods 59204, not a photoelectric light sensing control) so the light only turns on for three hours around sunset and an hour at sun rise. Not only did that seem to drastically cut down on collateral damage to the insect population but it saves a lot on electricity use. People who live where it is warmer at night may benefit from leaving the light on all night, but I'd already discovered that there were not many mosquitoes out after midnight when the temperature dropped to the mid-60's or lower. I learned that because I had taken up running after midnight this summer both for the cooler temperatures and the near mosquito-free conditions. In just two weeks the mosquito population is markedly reduced in my backyard. I hope to put some sort of tray under the light to see what I am killing though several toads and a snake have discovered this smorgasbord now and may skew the test results. I will have to hang the tray from the light to get an idea of what is being killed and how many mosquitoes won't be snacking on me. The instructions warn about spraying the unit with water to clean it. I found a leaf blower to be very effective as a means to clean the unit. I noticed that the unit also attracts and fries Asian beetles (those biting pests that look like lady bugs) just as it is getting dark out. They often have to be scraped (gently) off the rods. I am using the Octenol attractant at present but look forward to doing a test without it once I have my specimen collecting tray in place. My immediate goal was the slash the mosquito population and I think I am doing well in that respect. I'll report on my more detailed experiments later. My single strong criticism of the unit is that the cord that comes with it is not even long enough to reach the bottom of the light. I can't quite figure out how this makes the units "safer" unless it compels the user to plug the unit into the end of an extension cord above the level of the bottom of the unit. And why that matter, I don't know, unless one might set the light in a puddle or pan of water. I have the light hanging on a large metal shepherd's hook in a semicircular grove of small trees about 30 feet from the back of the house. The mosquito population on that side of the house is now decidedly less than on the other side of the house. I expect the situation to continue to improve. If it does I may be ordering a second light. We also have a problem with biting flies and as far as I can tell the flies are not attracted by light at all. So I don't recommend using an ultraviolet light product to kill this kind of fly (or to criticize the light when it doesn't). I like Flowtron's suggestion that one retain the box as a way to safely store the light over the winter. The box does protect the light - the box my light came in was pretty well banged up but the light was undamaged.

Wonderful service

Arrived days before I expected it in the condition that I wanted

Perfect job!

Insect killer failed

This insect killer worked fine, that is, it attracted Mosquitos and killed them, bot only during the first evening of use. Apparently the electrical grid failed. As always, I was able to return it to amazon and received a full refund.

Hearing protection for a Woodworker

Best hearing protection I've used. I believe these are the best Earmuffs for power-tools for under $100. They are quite comfortable, durable, and seem like an excellent value. I am able to wear them for long periods of time (an hour) without discomfort. I highly recommend the Peltor H10A.

Nice product

Works as promised and very comfortable. The only complaint that I would have are the small medal adjusts, looks like wire hangers, wish it was something that didn't look like it would stab you.

Very Good Product But Not Very Compact

These earmuffs are awesome. They are extremely comfy and block sound very well. The only thing I would change is the compactness. I was looking at a few other Peltor muffs and some of them fold into the upper headband part making them very compact. These don't do that so they are a little bulky when traveling with them. You are also unable to remove the pads for cleaning/replacement. Other than that, they are great muffs, especially for the price!

Great Earmuffs for mowing the lawn

I had been using those little foam ear plugs to protect my ears when mowing but they were next to useless. They didn't block out much of the noise and kept falling out. I mow for about 1.2 hours at least once a week and I needed something better.

I searched on Amazon, found these and based on the other reviews ordered a pair. They are nothing short of awesome. I have a small Kubota diesel tractor with mower deck and when tractor is on low speed, I can hardly hear it at all with these earmuffs on. Even at mowing speed, I can only faintly hear the tractor.

These earmuffs cover my ears completely and at least for me are very comfortable to wear for 1.5 hours at a time. I thought it might get hot with them on but I have mowed several times this summer with 90F+ temperatures without any problem.

A caution is that these earmuffs block out sound so well that I need to be very careful when going out onto the road as I cannot hear the traffic.

I highly recommend these earmuffs for use as hearing protectors when mowing your lawn or in other high noise areas.

Low price for silence

These Peltor Earmuffs are really great for the price. I don't usually wear them for more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time so I have not experienced "Head Clamp" discomfort, That may be an issue with long term wear because the band is fairly tight to make a good seal. Yet these are more comfortable than my Peltor aviation headsets. For working in the shop, mowing the lawn, hanging around the flight line or watching the Blue Angles practice in El Centro, CA (My intended use) these are a great buy. Your ears will appreciate them.

Never Again

I love the product, but I will never order it from Amazon/Antonline again. The shipping charges were almost as high as the product cost. Unless it was being shipped from Timbuktwo, it does not cost that much for shipping. I found it at Home Depot for 1/2 the price.

Helps to keep control of all sorts of bugs

I bought this just for fleas, but it catches mosquitos and spiders, ants, etc., too. I still recommend spraying your carpets, though. This is an additional help between carpet sprayings.

This product kicks serious butt!

We purchased this product because one stray cat we brought into the house had fleas. We plugged the product in and one hour later there were at least a dozen fleas stuck to the trap like glue! We have used it for a month and the trap is full! The trap is replaceable but since fleas are small, you can get a lot of life out of one. We do not leave it plugged in while we are not home, but when we are, it is plugged in and doing its job. Amazing product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you have fleas in your home, try this, no chemicals or poisons...............Try this product!

it works so I bought these refills

I have the trap and am on the second sticky pad (the unit that I
bought came with two sticky pads).

So, I bought the refill pack (which comes with three sticky pads).
I use my trap in the room that the dog sleeps in. In the daytime,
the dog is not in the room, the room is made dark, blinds closed,
door closed, from morning till night. The trap gets about 3-4
fleas per day and after a month that sticky pad looks disgusting
and coated with fleas. The key for me is to keep the room dark
during the day and keep the dog out of the room. The trap is the
only source of warmth and light in the room and attracts the fleas.

This is a terrible flea season where I live, and nothing in the
yard, or frontline on the dog seems to help. I walk my dog every
day so he will always pick fleas up. In addition to the trap
I've tried nemotodes in the yard and wet down the dog and flea
comb them off my dog and drown those fleas in soapy water about
two to three times per week. I've also got diatomaceous earth
rubbed into his bedding. I vacuum frequently.

This trap thing is great because its
no work compared to all the other things I do to fight fleas.
So I recommend buying these refills

Work Perfect For Me!

I was getting bitten up every night. I bought 2 of these units and put one on the floor by my bed and one under my living room couch. I was amazed to see how many flees ended up on the pad. I found the best results when I kept my door open letting cold air in my house. it was about 50 degrees and the traps became extremely congested with fleas in that one day.

Brilliant!

I have been using rechargeables for 10 years, and this (in my view, 3rd generation) charger is the best by far. It charges fast or completely conditions them by cycling 20 times. It has brought previously dead cells back to life, and increased the capacity of both Sanyo Eneloops and Energizers. Best feature is that you can select a separate program, function or display for **each cell**. No more having to charge in pairs; very, very flexible.

highly functional battery recharger - great buy

This charger is a great buy.

On the first battery I tried 'refresh' mode (original mAh rating of 1700 mAh) it originally charge to 429 mAH full charge. After running refresh mode, it rated 1550 mAH! No more buying new rechargables for a while. I'm slowly working through my other batteries. Refresh actually takes several days on some batteries (several charge / discharge cycles).

You can charge/discharge/refresh/test individual batteries (nicad / nimh only).

I purchased with sanyo eneloop batteries which are great.

Worked fine for 3 weeks

Worked very well for 3 weeks. Then the "mode" button stopped working so I can only use the "Charge" mode loosing the vital functions of "Refresh", "Discharge", "Test".

Nice and decent charger

This is a great charger for the price. Its simple to use once you play around with it. Just read the quick reference and manual and you should be good. The only thing is the buttons are a little jumpy so they don't register exactly every time but once you get used to it becomes easier. Start out with one battery to practice then all four.

Fantastic

This is a great charger for your AA/AAA batteries. It can be as simple as dropping your batteries in and walking away. OR, you can select the charging current for rapid charging, as well as refresh old batteries.
The biggest benefit to me, is that you can see exactly what is going on with your batteries. I have already found 3 batteries that I never knew were bad, and refreshed 4 more. These 4 AA batteries took 350mah of charge the first time I dropped them in. I ran them through a refresh cycle, and they now are back up to the listed capacity of 2200mah!
Get it, you wont be disappointed.

very good value for money

nothing new I am going to say over here... just like to say that I have seen many other sites where this product was priced too high. Amazon has done a very good job to sell it at very low price and they deliever things always on or before time.
This cart is very sturdy and has helped me a lot, I don't have a car so I use the cart for every visit to stores to carry heavy weighted bags or small furniture.
Thanks amazon, thanks Magna cart.

Compact & Sturdy Hand Truck

An outstanding light to medium duty hand truck. Great for moving boxes of books and other boxy items, and it stores in a space less than two inches wide. Perfect for someone who needs a hand truck occasionally and needs to store it in a limited space.

not really carry 150 pounds

It may be able to carry 150 pounds as displayed in the picture, when the weights are evenly distributed vertically. However, if you have one box of books or papers (which are usually very happy), then you will have a hard time lifting it unless if you are really strong and acrobatic, because all the weights are concentrated at the bottom of the hand truck.
For other purposes, this is great; but not if you are a lawyer and moving a lot books and papers. For that purpose, you need something with four wheels and that don't rely on lever actions.

Excellent Service!

Exactly what I ordered. These carts are great for everyday use as we use them in our office to move boxes and such. Highly recommend!

Great product!!!!!

This cart works well for moving items withing it's weight range. And, it folds down enough to stay out of the way while sitting in the garage.

Great for the money

I had a hose that was just too short. THis was just enough to make the length I needed. It was a great price too.

Works fine, but....

Does what I bought it for but I wished I'd looked around at my local big box store where remnants cost about the same and I was able to pick the color of my choice. Oh well.

Connector hoses

Very good value for the money. Just what I needed to connect an outdoor hose reel to an outdoor faucet.

Would not have needed to buy this

I received a 15-foot standard garden hose, something I could have bought at Home Depot or Target for 2/3 the price.

Good Deal

I was looking for a short hose to use with my pressure washer. I stopped at Lowes and the only thing they had in the 15' length was some cheap looking "utility" hose of very poor quality. I think they wanted $6 or $7 for, but I can not imagine it lasting very long.

I ordered this hose from Amazon and just got it today. I was impressed with it - the hose itself feels sturdy, (as in not easy to collapse), and the ends look to be of decent quality. It's actually a silver-gray color with a yellow stripe, but it looks nice. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase and would buy it again if I needed another one.
