Lawn and Garden Reviews

I bought this product to solve the problem of getting water from the rain barrel to my plants and it does its job. I bought this for the wheels and shower head. I didn't want to buy a regular bug sprayer for watering because I didn't want to stand there for 10 minutes to water 1 plant.

Am I jumping like this is a better mouse trap? no. Its just an OK mouse trap.

Out there right now there doesn't seem to be too many other similar products (that I could find) in the same category unless you want to spend hundreds so this has to do for me.

There are a few things that need to be changed to make this a 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 5.
1st the biggest problem being the wheels are not that great on the lawn. It tips over a lot while you are walking. They say it has a low center of gravity to prevent this but it really doesn't help. They need to space the wheels out further to make it better.
2nd I wish the tank was a little bigger. Maybe 4 or 5 gallons. Others will have different uses but for me I'd like a bigger one.
3rd The hole where you pour the water needs to be a little bigger.
4th the hose. It is sort of a catch 22 here. Its long so as I'm walking I step on it and run it over but if it was shorter I'd complain it isn't long enough.
5th The hose again. There is no where to store the hose or hang the handle. So you are left wrapping it around and just dangling the head.

Overall it is a good idea that just needs so tweaking. If someone was in the same situation I'd say yeah go and buy it if the $70 isn't really a big deal but if you don't really feel like dropping the $ then I'd say stick with the watering can until something better comes along.

I have owned the 4 bulb e-trap for over three years. Nothing worse than mosquitoes that come in the house - and the e-trap does attract and kill them with little fuss - BUT the bulbs do not last very long. The first time they went out Lentek sent me an entire replacement unit instead of just the bulbs. Another month went by and they too started to dim. I finally called customer service this year and was told 4 weeks was the average life span for the bulbs. . .so I ordered an entire case of replacements at just under [$$] each. Very expensive! But also the only gadget I have found that kills mosquitoes efficiently in the house without pesticides and such. It now makes me wish I had purchased the two bulb unit instead of the 4 bulb unit!

Dear Company adminstration,
Thank you for your web-page,I am not 13 years,I am 43 years old and I am in Netlon service line since1996.I am Indian and my place in Andhara Pradesh and my city is hi-tech city Hyderabad.
Here,for mosquitoes, our market occupied with All-out and its price with 40days liquid is Rupees 63 only in Dollars its cost only $ 1.02.

I am requesting you that how it is different from all-out gadget
Kindly write me a clear demonstration text for my understanding.
And I am a salesman interest to sell high quality product in medium economy country/society.I prefer to suggest to customer the best quality available to fill his problem/need.Though,I install for their windows ,they use coils and liquids to solve mosquito problem in their rooms.

I like to suggest a better quality product for the affordable interested customer.So, I am inviting your suggestions to me as
treating me as an enterpreneur(small),how can I approach you for this product to try in small economy market society(of course my country is larger one ,but quality buyers for mosquitoes are smaller as economy/aware and availablity and so on other reasons)

I hope that you will write more useful advice.

Well, it started out great and caught a bunch of flies and a few mosquitos, but it must have been all the STUPID bugs. The smart ones apparently were never fooled.

I owned this blower previously, and thought it worked well. However, I ran it for an extended period of time, and the motor caught on fire. I am purchasing a new one, and know better now not to run it for such extened periods of time. Overall, I like it.

This is RL Flomaster's basic economy lawn & garden sprayer. The construction is all-plastic except for the spring behind the trigger button. The unit performed OK for me after I figured out the assembly instructions and removed the bit of plastic flashing obstructing the nozzle. You put in the liquid to spray, screw in the plunger, untwist the plunger handle, pump it up and down 30 times, and twist it back to lock it down. Then you point the nozzle and press the thumb trigger to spray. A single pumping let me spray the tank all the way to empty.

The instructions (a single piece of newsprint in 3 languages covering 21 different sprayer models) could be MUCH better. There are 12 pieces to assemble, and the assembly diagram is a single expanded view 3.25" wide by .5" high. 6 of the 12 parts have numbers next to them in this diagram, but these numbers are codes for where you perform some assembly operation rather the standard graphical parts list. You have to try to figure out which of the three screw connections is THE "threaded connection" by looking where it's mentioned in the assembly sequence.

To be fair, the poor instuctions only wasted an extra 5-10 minutes of my time, but this was an entirely needless waste. I'll have to waste some more time when the sprayer starts leaking air because "the plunger u-cup seal needs to be lubricated often" -- and that picture is even smaller!

Summary: 4 stars for the sprayer; 1 star for the feeble-minded instructions.

The tool itself is pretty well made. It is also a nice width. However, it lacks the weight to be effective. Kind of like swinging an axe that is too light. The weight of the head should be doing most of the work. I find that I'm the one doing most of the work. I also reviewed the handle they recommend with this head. It's way too slippery and too long for my taste. I find that the combination of the light head and the slippery handle causes the thing to slide all over as I use it. The cost of the head and handle along with shipping made this quite expensive. I would not recommend you do it.

Fall #1, had to replace the blade because it was rounded over from mulching leaves!

Fall #2, was vacuuming for about 2 hours and smelled something that was like an electrical fire. Noticed arcing around the brushes of the motor! Took it into the garage, turning it on would not even spin any more.

I was on the fence about paying the $25 for a replacement motor for this $65 blower/vac. Then I read the reviews on here. I'm looking at the Toro now! Black & Decker always seems to get me with a low price and nice packaging. With the Leafhog and Grasshog dying on me this season, I've finally learned my lesson. Stay away!

Pros
-The garbage can attachment is nice

Cons
-Blade is weak, needs replaced each season.
-Frequent clogs.
-Motor seizure!
-Black & Decker durability!

What a machine. Lots of power. The vacuming is great. Goes right into garbage can and I can then easily take it to the garden for mulch. Love it.

THIS B&D BLOWER IS VERY POWERFUL AND I FOUND THAT AMAZON HAD THE BEST PRICE PLUS FREE SHIPPING. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE IS A VERY GOOD DEAL FOR THE PRICE I PAID.

I read all the reviews wanting to believe that these would help me and crossed my fingers for the half that said yes, they worked. Tonight, I just caught another mouse in my room (where I've got two of these things plugged in). Earlier, I'd purchased one to cover a larger area and although it deters them, I actually think it caused them to run into my room from the kitchen to get away from the noise, as I'd never had them in my room before (In two weeks since buying these, I still saw 2 or 3 mice).

Anyway, my advice is not to waste your money on these. I'm going to start charging the mice rent.

this seemed to work initially, but after about a month (and, not so coincidentally, when it started to get cold outside) i was finding mouse droppings less than a foot away from the device!
i spoke with a veterinarian that specializes in digusting rodents (rats, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils) and she said that it's just like living next to the train tracks - it emits an annoying sound, but eventually the little suckers get used to it.

I was very pleased that this seller emailed me right away when I sent him an email about my concerns that the product might not be exactly what I needed and wanted to cancel the order. He very quickly emailed me and assured me he would cancel and refund my credit card and I was impressed with this service. Gayla Tregre

Warning to all potential buyers! This product is a total farce. I bought four of these and placed them way closer than the required maximum distance. And yes I put brand new Duracells in these things. The moles actually burrowed right next to thems. Save your money and buy the old fashioned traps that actually kill the moles. These things don't work.

I read the mixed reviews on this site before purchasing, so it's my own fault for still going ahead and purchasing! I was hopeful the product would work for me.

I've tried 3 of these in different locations in my yard, all with the same result: mounds of dirt leading right up to the Molechaser! They seem attracted to it, not turned off by it. I only wish I could upload a photo of the dirt mounds that literally are less than an inch away from each device!

This product has done nothing to discourage moles, voles, etc. In all three locations, the lawn damage continues.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Look for another solution rather than this product.

I bought this product about a year ago and it worked great. Unfortunately, I placed it at the edge of our lawn and ran it over with the lawnmower, breaking it instantly. After ours broke, I waited to order a new one. I told our neighbors about my success and they all bought them, since ours was broken the moles all moved back to our yard. Needless to say, I bought a few more. They work very well, you do need to put the battery replacement on your calendar for every 6 months.
