I'm tired of raking leaves and purchased this Worx product. I haven't really used it much,but here's my limited review(update later). Assembly was easy and the product  seemed quite durable and nicely made, also comes with a dvd on usage and safety. I had alittle problem trying to put the bag on my shoulder and use the blower.  After some adjustment, things went ...

 We recently moved into a home with a 150 foot driveway and in Cleveland that is a heck of a lot of shoveling.I hate to pay full price for things so I immediately went onto Craig list and started looking for a used snow blower.  We were so lucky, in part because it was so late in the season, to get a ten year old Toro snow blower for $20.The snow blower has a gas and an electric start...

We inherited this from my mother-in-law, who realized that the climate in Florida is not condusive to needing a snowblower once used in New Jersey!  We live in Colorado, and found it to be a very fortunate gift!Now that I have the geography lesson out of the way, allow me to focus on this wonderful machine!Being a Craftsman, it is accompanied with a lifetime guarantee which I never quite u...

If you love to BBQ like we do, then you need to invest in a smoker.  The New Braunfels Oklahoma Joe's Outdoor Smoker is an excellent choice.We have smoked everything on this smoker and have never been disappointed.  Chicken is delectable.  Ribs come out tender and juicy.  Brisket is mouth watering.  Fish is even easily cooked and comes out great--even though I'm...

It has a hose and a few quick connects and disconnects, an air jack for filling tires and other inflatable items. The Craftsman 3-Gallon 125 PSI Max. Air Compressor has a tank regulator and a discharge regul...

We received this Yard Machine snow blower from my husband's brother as he had health problems and decided to hire a service to do his drive.  It was only used for a couple of winters and we've had it for the last 5 years. Living in Michigan we get lots of snow living close to the lakeshore.  We seem to get dumped on all the time and since our snow blower had died the year...

I just purchased this Toro CCR Powerlite 325 E Snow Thrower at Home Depot over the weekend because we had a snow storm here in New York. This Snow Thrower worked pretty well and in a short space of time I had my driveway, walkway and back yard cleared away and I moved on and had my rental properties cleared as well.The Toro Powerlite is compact, lightweight and  was perfect for cleari...

This barbeque looks impressive and its performance lives up to its looks. It really gets hot and holds its heat. Ceramic bricks radiate infrared heat and protect the burners from drips. These bricks will apparently last for years (hotter, longer lasting, and cleaner than lava rock). The barbeque has sturdy double walled construction. I have the propane model, but there is also one if you wa...

My white vinyl home was looking dirty, in particular on the sides that are close to trees. There was a greenish buildup on the siding in these areas that was in need of a good cleaning. I thought about renting a pressure washer but liked the idea of having one around the house that could be taken out and used anytime something needed cleaning so I headed down to my local Lowe's hardware sto...

After many years of yearning for a greenhouse I purchased an 8ft X 6ft model from Harbor Freight.  The box says it's manufactured by One Step Gardens, but I believe they specifically make products for Harbor Freight.  The nightmare started when we cut the box open.As you would imagaine, there are a gazillion parts to an 8 X 6 greenhouse that comes in a cardboard box.  Once we...

The Weed Eater Power Blower 2540 blows the heck out of grass and leaves!  If you would rather vacuum, it comes with an attachment and backpack type bag to get the job done fast.Using this blower is quite easy. All you do is plug it in, turn it on high or low, and go. The job is easier if you have a long extension cord or strategically placed outlets. We use a 100-foot and 25-foot toge...

It is not designed for heavy-duty use but it  is perfect for getting in close to your other more prized plants. There is some  amount of assembly required and some common household tools are neede...

The Black & Decker Pest Repeller is supposed to repel pests of all kind, from rodents to roaches, by emitting an ultra-sonic sound.  Each repeller is slightly larger than the palm of an average person's hand and plugs directly into an electrical outlet.  The repeller is chemical-free and safe for the environment.  The ultra-sonic sound does not disturb cats or d...

Last fall my husband went to rent a powerwasher to rid our siding of mold, but came back the proud owner of the Honda Excell 2600.  He thought it would be a good investment, and although I was skeptical at first, now I agree. We use this powerwasher a lot.  Last weekend my husband washed his tractor, all our lawnchairs, and our kids' wading pool that had been sitting out all winte...

This is our Halloween greeter, or as we lovingly call him, BIG FRANK.  This 6 foot tall airblown inflatable has greeted all the kids for Halloween for the last 5 years.  He swings a scary spider from one hand and a bat from the other.  These move with even the slightest breeze, yikes!! When not fully inflated Frank fits nicely into his 12" x 12" x 12" box for ...

We have about three acres of lawn. Due to my obsessive need to plant trees, bushes, flowers and stick the odd lawn ornament right smack dab in the middle of a bunch of grass - my husband and I had to figure something out very quickly or things were going to get baaaad. Using a weed trimmer around all of these places AND mowing with a traditional  riding mower would take an entire day. Mowi...

While we were rebuilding the motor on our Aquasport my husband decided we needed an air compressor.  Off to Sears we went.  While there were a variety of compressors there in varying sizes he wanted the big one.  We purchased the Craftsman 33 Gallon Permanently Lubricated Single Stage Portable Air Compressor.This model came with a variety of tools as a bonus: a ratchet wrench, an...

In the course of organizing the garage, we purchased a storage cabinet made by Coleman. The size we purchased is 75-3/8”H x 19-5/8”D x 31-1/8”W and is perfect for our needs.  They also offer larger sizes, and my husband is lobbying for one.  These have one fixed shelf and two removeable shelves which gives you a lot of flexibility in what you can store inside.  ...

No matter where you live, you are likely to have some type of house or garden pest.  I don't really mind if they are in the yard, but I consider their visits into the house an invasion of my privacy.I have come to believe that perimeter control is the secret of a happy home.  Bayer Advanced Home Pest Control Indoor & Outdoor Insect Killer is an important part of my happy home ...
