Birdscapes 710 Brushed Metal Hummingbird Feeder, 12 oz capacity

I bought two of these units to use around the house, as we enjoy watching the hummingbirds each year. Within 3 weeks of use, one of the units is beginning to rust around the bottom part where the "flowers" where they feed. I would think it would be an easy thing to seal or cost these somehow after manufacturing to prevent this. I know these are brushed "metal" but come now, they shouldn't rust in read more..

Weber 16124 Barbecue Mitt, Black

This mitt is adequate for shaking or quickly moving metal items around on the grill. Don't try to take a hot pan or skewer more than about ten feet, or it will burn your hand through the material. read more..

AeroGarden Chili Peppers Seed Kit

This is the first Aerogarden kit that I have not been pleased with. My two Cilantro pods did not sprout at all. I contacted Aerogarden and they said there is a known issue with the Cilantro and they are investigating ways to fix it. I would not recommend purchasing this kit until they work out the problem.

The other herbs are growing just fine. The Epazote is growing like crazy- alth read more..

Amazing Sensitive Plant - Leaves Move - Mimosa pudica

I was very disappointed in this plant. First it wasn't what I thought I ordered (my fault) and second it was a dirty plant - shed everywhere! It didnt grow very well - remained very stringy and floppy. I would not recommend it for a house plant. read more..

Weber 87886 Chimney Starter

The item was not packed well and arrived dented. Subsequent to unpacking, I saw a similar item (different brand) in a retail store for about half the price. The item has not been used yet. read more..

Achla CMP-05 Spinning Horizontal Composter

My experience is similar to S. Meyer's earlier comment. Metal finish on sections of composter legs has been damaged in shipment because the pieces were banging around unprotected inside the drum. They're already beginning to rust. There was no protective covering or packing to protect them. I've contacted Amazon to get a replacement shipped. read more..

Kay Home Products 30072 Iron Hearth with Lid

Good product for the first year...I knew it was cheap. Kay Home products is from Cleveland and I know them well. 2nd year, parts started failing including the screen, the handle, and I'm waiting for the legs and wheels to come off.

I wouldn't buy from them again. read more..

Bite Shield - 2 Pack Refill

I actually bought the whole box and dice: the Bite Shield and the Refill cartridges. It seemed like a wonderful idea.

First the little fan inside wouldn't work. So I called the manufacturer, who said that I would most likely not be able to hear it if it was working...

I took it along on our holiday anyway.

In the middle of the night, after being switched on f read more..

STI Chameleon Solar-Powered Light Stick, Dragonfly/ Snowman

Nice quality product, but what is shipped is NOT what's pictured. Pictured is a dragonfly, snowflake/flower thing, and a hummingbird all on a different light stick. What is shipped is ONE light stick with TWO toppers - a dragonfly and a snowman! (What's up with the snowman, anyway?). Read the fine print.

Big disappointment for $25 plus shipping! You can get less expensive ones, k read more..

Woodstock Percussion EHS Emperor Harp Windchime

This is a beautiful sounding chime. It is not loud and sounds almost like tinkling glass.
Here's the catch: need major wind to have it work. We moved it to a number of places which were open to the wind. When you hang it by its cord, the entire chime moves in circles. Nice circular movement, but no chime. The idea is for the metal rods to move, which chime, not necessarily the wood holder. read more..

Jack Post Country Garden Hi-Back Glider with Trays and Matte Green Frame

Not assembly friendly. I actually took things apart twice so the next step would be easier to assemble. Seems like some of the steps are out of order in the instructions. Also, the wood slats weren't drilled correctly to match the supports (or the supports were bent slightly in shipping). I had to redrill some of the holes to make them fit. However, after I got it together (about a 4 hour pro read more..

Garden Song Dine Around Window Bird Feeder

This bird feeder was pretty cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for! It's very light weight and didn't stick to the window very well from the beginning... then fell off (and broke) after only a few days. Better to spend a little more and get a better quality feeder that will last! read more..

SCOOP FREE LITTER BOX

I really liked this box at first except for the expensive cartridges. I solved that by purchasing a permanent plastic one and buying bag crystals. I am disappointed by the smell. It doesn't do any better than a regular box and is a problem to clean if pee goes down the side. I have tried other suggestions to stop this but it is too much of a hassle to keep clean after awhile. Also, the poop s read more..

Dynatrap Insect Eliminator

I bought this based on a previous favorable review from another purchaser who swore it worked in North Texas. He must be getting a wimpier variety of mosquitoes where he lives. Does nothing at my house other than killing a few moths and providing an eerie blue night light on my patio. Kind of expensive for a night light. read more..

Weber 6415 Small Aluminum Drip Pans- 8.5-Inches by 6-Inches

These pans do catch the drips, but unfortunately they are also easily caught (and carried away from your balcony) by a breeze. This with and without the Q 100 cover in place. read more..

Char Broil T-Frame 7 Series

Am I smarter than a 5th Grader?
Answer is NO, I bought this thing.

Pros: cheap, small size, side burner.
Cons: everything else
Steel firebox and cover, I expect to be doing lots of painting.
Assembly took twice as long as all the other aluminum grills I've owned
combined.
Some very poor design, support for tank, has one bolt per side and no extensi read more..

I only paid $20 for this umbrella and now I see why. It's see through and doesn't rotate. Oh well, next time I will spend a little more to get better quality. read more..

Brinkmann 810-7080-K Gourmet Electric Smoker & Grill with Outdoor Vinyl Cover

Although I have previously owned a similar Brinkman Elcetric Smoker with a temp control dial and a thermometer, this new smoker appears to have been designed and built by people who have virtually no idea of the word craftsmanship. Besides having a missing part from the sealed plastic bag, I had to bend all three handles so I could line up the pre-drilled screw holes. I had to jerryrig a missing read more..

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill

Bought one at end of season--for under 99 dollars. As I grill year-round, yes even in Chicago (in a coat in winter)--it got a workout. And died accordingly after only 2 years. Will NOT replace with same. If you use it only occasionally-maybe it would last. read more..

Mosquito Magnet Defender Mosquito Trap MM4000

I have just read a few reviews on this product and am shocked to find everyone else having the same issue I had. This unit worked very well the first year and this spring when I brought it out of storage I couldn't get it to run. I followed directions, cleared the unit with not one but all three of the CO2 cartridges. Nothing but pure disappointment. If someone offers an extended warranty on this read more..

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Electric Grill

I've grown up with charcoal, and gas grills (gas only for camping).

It serves the purpose well for apartment complexes that forbid charcoal
grills... buttt... the true flavors really do not come thru in the cooked foods (as well as the others).

It is wayyyyy too easy to burn your foods... ie.... use a timer !

La Crosse Technology WS-7034U Wireless Temperature Station

I had a LaCrosse set of sensors and thermometers and one of the readouts kept giving me fits by losing signal. Unfortunately I didn't take the time to contact the company while it was still fairly new and I had all the packaging and such. So I bought this WS-7034U to replace the one that was acting up, and so far the new one has been working.

So while I now have a working setup, if read more..

Heath 12 Room Aluminum Purple Martin House (Model AH-12D)

Product was time consuming to put together and did not fit snuggly together (lots of gaps in the flooring between rooms). The aluminum was extremely easy to bend, especially when trying to attach the railing, which does not stay in well. I will be searching for one better made. If it wasn't so... time consuming to put together, I would have taking apart and returned. read more..

Charcoal Companion Non-Stick Large Grilling Grid / 16-inch by 12-inch

I've been looking for a good grid to use on my grill to cook vegetables. I was hoping this might be the one, but it was not. The non-stick surface is nice and definitely aided in preventing the veggies from sticking. The problem was that the non-stick coating started peeling off after the first use! Also this product has flat sides so small veggies tend to roll right off and into the fire. I ende read more..

Weber 9895 Vinyl Cover Fits Weber Q Gas Grill

If you are planning on leaving your Weber Q in one spot then this is the cover for you, however, if you are like me and bought this grill to take traveling with you, then this is not the grill for you. It is cheaply made and does not fully cover the BBQ which when traveling allows the debries at the bottom of the grill to come out and dirty and stain your storage area. Overall this cover is chea read more..

La Crosse Technology WS-9096U Sun/ Moon Wireless Weather Station

This Lacrosse Technology WS-096U Wireless Weather Station is poor. The external sensor, placed as per the instructions, says it is 40F and 47Rh. Funny, it is snowing and has been for the last 5 hours - my external thermometer says it is 24F and 96% Rh! I tried getting customer assistance only to be placed on hold and then disconnected - twice. The atomic clock which syncs during the evening was read more..
