Lawn and Garden Reviews

I have just finished pruning 110 rose bushes with these pruners. About 30% of my cuts were bungled because the blade quickly dulled and it easily flexes to prevent a clean bypass cut. Otherwise the pruners facilitate cutting large branches and the spring works well.

I like this item B00004SD72 very much You should read more reviews to find out more about it

The Fiskar pruners lived up to their advance advertising as being easy to operate and giving a clean, crisp cut. I like them so well, I got a pair for my neighbor, who is equally satisfied.

Despite good reviews here - I have had two of these units go bad in just a few days of use. They both worked great at first but later stopped passing flow when the timer came on. I will say that Gilmour's customer service is great. After the first on went bad, they sent me a second at no charge.

I have 3 of these. These are fine timers - very simple and reliable. I would only note that despite the claim (also contained in Gilmour's website) that there is a temporary suspend feature, there is none on the 9100. In fact I received the following from Gilmour support:

"On this model you can't suspend the program if you need not to water a certain day you will have to shut the water off at the Faucet this will not affect the program."

It's not a huge deal, but the description leads one to believe otherwise. Know what you're buying and enjoy.

The Gilmore 9100 electric water timer is the best timer for the money. Very easy to operate and well made.

The subject line sums it up here, meaning this storage box is pretty doggone handy, but I did not realize the wheels are on only one side of the storage box, not both. It makes it easier to drag it around, but it'd be nice if there were wheels on BOTH ends. It couldn't cost them that much more to take that leap in my view. However, I got A LOT of stuff in this bench, managing to clear out my laundry area so I could actually put laundry there, not everything else. Among the items that are now comfortably relegated to this storage bench are a drill, couple of saws, socket wrenches, two small tool boxes and one bigger one, two 20-pound bags of dry dogfood, assorted dog treats, leashes, flea collars and repellants, and three paint recpetacles and inumerable paint rollers, brushes, et cetera. I have room to put more in there if I choose. ... It's held far, far more than I dreamed it would. I am quite satisfied. It really was no-tool assembly, too, which I really didn't expect either. This was a good investment, I think, and it was free shipping. I'd recommend this one. Do note, however, that it doesn't lock, so don't put anything in it of huge value. The only thing that keeps this from being five stars versus four is the fact that there are two wheels for rolling, not four. My back needs four. :)

This deck box met all our expectations. It is built solidly. It rolls easily. It has kept the contents dry in some pretty rough thunderstorms. We are very satisfied!

I have owned this product for several months and so far it has operated flawlessly as far as electronics go.

Construction is not as solid as I expected but only one physical flaw apparent; the large ring to hang it up with is not welded and has a large gap. I discovered this when the unit fell from a hook because the wind vibrated it enough for the gap to eventually line straight up. Luckily nothing was damaged and it wasn't plugged in. This at least proved the unit wouldn't fall apart the first time its dropped, although I do not recommend trying this for yourself.

Seems to kill any bugs attracted to it very quickly and without clogging. Unfortunately not all bugs are attracted by a light source; but that is not a flaw of the product, its a flaw of the bugs!

Overall I am satisfied with the product.

I had three Mosquito Magnets that worked well for a few months but nothing like this. There are more mosquitos being eliminated by this is one hour than my Mosquito Magnets did in three months without the hassle of propane cans and unreliable working parts that didn't function after a few months. I estimate that this Flowtron unit is eliminating 20 mosquitos per minute. This is an amazing product, far superior to the mosquito magnet, and it costs a fraction of the price.

Don't even hesitate to buy this thing. It should be called the Flowtron Terminator. I have to keep the windows closed at night because it is zapping bugs all the time. I checked to see what types of bugs it is killing - alot of moths, mosquitos, flies.

I bought one as a gift for a friend and they love it too.

This is the best sprinkler we have ever bought. A friend introduced me to them and we have since purchased 3 of them. It really helps keep the water sprinkling in places you don't want it to. I would recommend it highly!

We have a very strange shaped lawn...lots of beds, curves, paths, etc. This is a very useful sprinkler. You can raise and lower the pitch of the water flow (as it rotates between 30 and 360 degrees). Package says it is great for large areas, which I am sure it is. However, for smaller yards that are not plain squares and rectangles...this is a hit for the price.

I figured it out without reading the instructions and it works very well.

Great product, I dont have natural light at work but with this plant light my bonsai tree is doing great. With its seasonal setting and humidity meter. its perfect for the busy garderner. The only draw back that it only fits one pot at the time. But other than that it works great.

The plant light will turn on and off by itself imitating the sun. This is the first time that I have not dried out or flooded my African Violet. It has a device that tells you that your plant needs water. I actually have it on top of my bookshelf and it looks nice. Be aware that the plant light is made for small potted plants.

I really didn't expect it to do too well as I planned on using it for emergency revival of my two sickly bonsai. I got it set up in my office (no windows at all) and placed my two sad trees under it.

One is a serissa, surviving its dim place in the house, the other is a small ligustrum which has been dropping leaves over the last 3 weeks. On friday I watered them, turned on the light (set for winter) and set the lamp 3 inches over the ligustrum (the taller of the two).

Monday I came in and the ligustrum already has new growth... I'm happy and the bonsai are happy.

Did not install and try to use it. Will probable start to use in the spring.

I do love the Hozelock, I just wish it had been made with a larger diameter hose. The hose is thinner than a regular garden hose, making the water come out slower. That increases watering time, and filling a kiddie pool takes much longer. Other than that, it works great. I've had mine for 5 years and no problems.

this is a great wall mount auto rewind reel i have two.
2 years with no trouble at all

too bulky. blower strength depends on the trimmer motor. If motor loses it's power, then there goes your blower too.

I bought a Yardman weed wacker which is compatable with the Ryobi stuff. When I saw the Vac/Blower attachment, I thought that it was too good to be true. It has been an incredible attachment. It has cut my "landscaping" time in half and everything looks so much better. This thing even sucks up oranges that have fallen off of my tree. I don't know if that is good for it or not but it just keeps working. The blower is more than adequate and does all that I need. So far I have been very pleased with this item. I would recommend it highly!

Yes, it's made of plastic but so far the abuse I've subjected it to makes me wonder if it's lined with Kryptonite. I recently trimmed my boxwoods and Red Tip bushes/shrubs and after spending 30 minutes raking and picking up debris by hand, I said I wish I had a lawn vac to suck all this stuff up. Hey, I DO have a lawn vac! So....branches, leaves, twigs, etc got sucked up and placed nicely in the bag. A little grunting from the impeller blade but most of it came up aside from a few stubbon leaves. I havent tried the blower part yet but i can only imagine it works as well.

Light weight, solid, room for garden tools. No more stooping to get weeds out from between my stepping stones. Yea!

This has been wonderful. I am disabled and gardening had been very difficult for me. With the hopper I am at the right level and the ability to scoot to where I want to be is great. No more backaches from bending.

Have not yet put the "hopper" to work, however, I did try it on for size and I feel certain it will carry my weight and make digging up my small backyard and planting grass seeds much easier.

For lack of a nail the war was lost! This mower has all the makings of a great product but is now sold only at Amazon.
Probably because of poor quality control.
I built a ramp to unload it from the truck and saved the extra shipping costs (thanks to a reviewer). The first three times I tried to use it the top belt slipped off then broke. Since I don't have a way to get it to a shop I checked it myself and found that the pulleys
on the motor shaft were never bolted on!!!! The factory sent me the parts and it's been working fine for three weeks. If your good with tools, Buy it. It's fun to use.

Right off the bat had problems with the delivery agent. They did not have a lift-gate truck and requested help for the driver to unload. The mower arrived in a full tractor-trailer with no ramp or way to get the wood framed crate off the trailer. The driver and I muscled it off using a ladder and plywood as a ramp. The "free" delivery was crap. Also after uncrating and trying to start it the battery was dead. I was unable to charge it to any level which would turn over the engine. I had to purchase another battery which fixed that problem. The cut seems even and the mower is much more maneuverable than my previous tractor-type mower. But the vacumn ability of the cutting deck is not as good, it doesn't pick up everything you go over. It may be due to the design of the deck/bagger which is an integrated unit under the seat, also the chute is fairly narrow which will clog easily in heavy/wet leaves or clippings. This design does make for a narrower unit as there is no external chute connecting to the side of the deck which takes up space and creates clearance problems when trying to cut up close to something on that side. Overall I feel it works best as a mulcher/side discharge mower. Don't expect to pick up huge amounts of leaves or clippings as the bagger fills up too fast and will require many trips to empty.

I have used my yardbug for one season and have enjoyed it thouroughly. It is very easy to use and cuts great. So far I have had no problems with it and I am looking forward to another year of mowing.
