Toro 51598 Ultra Blower

With 225 mph of maximum force, the Toro Ultra Blower is a three-in-one machine--blower, vacuum, and leaf shredder--that's ready to rip through leaf-covered lawns with the power of a small hurricane. Better yet, you'll likely find it to be not only one of the most powerful lawn tools in your garage, but one of the most versatile as well. To facilitate the different uses, the blower comes with a quick-release latch for easy conversion as well as infinitely variable air control. In addition, the metal impeller mulches leaves with fearsome efficiency, reducing 16 bags of leaves down to a single bag. For those looking for a blower that'll make quick work of acres of matted-down leaves, Toro's Ultra Blower is up to the task. --Rivers Janssen

Customer Review:

Toro leaf vacuum

Generally good. Does a nice job of vacuuming the garden (haven't done the leaf blower thing yet). Bit plasticy tho' so lengevity may be an issue if abused.
4/5

Why did I wait so long?

I have a 10-year old Toro electric blower, and it still works, but it never had the power I wanted. This new blower is lighter, more powerful, and I think it cost less than the one I bought a decade ago. It was definitely time to upgrade!

Does well for me

Living in Southern California I have trees that drop leaves year round and I like to vacuum them up. While my lot isn't as big as what you find in the midwest the 51598 works perfectly for me. The only problem I have is the same as many other people, it does pick up everything if you get close to the garden, mulch and loose dirt are gone into the bag. Of course it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that is going to happen.
My only recomendation would be to look in your local Lowes or Home Depot for it before ordering online. While listed as "in stock" I waited almost four weeks for it to arrive due to "back-ordering". Purchased from Lowes it would have cost me maybe $2.50 more, but then I would have been using the vacuum instead of a rake!

Oxford Garden Designs Market Umbrella Stand

Keep your market umbrella secure and steady without taking up your guests' valuable leg room. Oxford Garden Design's decorative 39-1/2-pound umbrella base, made of black powder-coated steel, will resist rust for years to come. The round, heavy stand definitely does its job while being threaded upright with two pole fasteners. You can insert umbrella poles up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter. The stand itself is 18 inches in diameter and 13 inches high, which includes the part of the stand that holds the pole and keeps it in place. The edge of this stand has a slightly raised lip, but it's not enough to collect rain or dirt; the inside features an intricate, classic leaf motif that will complement any patio style or garden décor. Replacement parts are available. --Rhonda Langdon

Customer Review:

Oxford Garden Designs Market Umbrella Stand

Although I received the umbrella stand quickly, when I opened it, there were no instructions for putting it together and several parts were scattered and broken. The stand is very heavy (which is a good thing) but I also have a problem with a grease packing within it that came undone during shipping and I have no idea how to fix it. I have looked and looked for ways to contact Amazon about this problem but have had no luck. So, I would advise not ordering this item through Amazon because of the problems with breakage and lack of instructions.

My second one in 2 years : great stand, great.

I just received my 2nd stand in 2 years and love them both. They are easy to assemble,lovely, heavy, sturdy and can support the heaviest umbrella. Just make sure the diameter of your umbrella pole will fit in the stand. I highly recommend this stand.

Sturdy but poorly packed.

Mine arrived missing two of the screws that hold the little rubber feet to the underside of the base. The product box was far to flimsy for shipping, and was ripped open along half the seems and not much stiffer than tissue paper by the time I received it from FedEx Ground. Amazon would have been happy to pay the return shipping, but when I told them that all I needed was the two screws, they gave me the manufacturer's phone number, whom I called and who quickly mailed the missing parts to me.

Otherwise, the stand is solid, sturdy, very heavy, and has no problem holding my 9 foot market umbrella all by itself, without the need for a table. Unlike another reviewer who reported a plastic screw, my stand uses a steel bolt to attach the support tube to the base. And, my umbrella stood straight upright as soon as the two set-screws in the support tube were tightened against the umbrella pole.

Mr. BAR-B-Q Platinum Prestige 21-Piece Tool Set

e The perfect gift for a grillmaster with a James Bond bent, this ultra-complete barbecue kit by Mr. Bar-B-Q has every accessory necessary for prepping and grilling barbecue chow. The stainless-steel primary tools--fork, knife, tongs, 4-in-1 spatula, basting brush, and grill brush--have good heft and balance, plus they can hang by their handles. Four long skewers support kebabs for a group, and the cool- looking, minimalist corn picks keep cobs in place. There are even silo- shaped salt-and-pepper shakers for perfecting grill flavors. We like the details here, too: a spare head for the grill brush, a bottle opener on the spatula handle, and Velcro/elastic storage straps for the tools. Portable and efficient, the case has a snappy undercover- detective appearance with a sturdy metal exterior, a comfortable handle, and snap-shut locks. All tools are dishwasher-safe with a lifetime warranty and a rust-resistant mirror finish. --Emily Bedard

Amazing Grill Set

The Platinum Prestige 21-Piece Tool Set is simply amazing. The stainless steal construction of the tools are of the highest quality, and are equally functional. You will wow anybody with this set.

A must buy for anyone who loves to grill!

BBQ Tool Set Review

Exactly what I ordered....good quality product and at a very reasonable price. They also had very prompt service and delivery...I recommend buying this set!

Excedes the price I paid

Ok so I got it on sale here for 29 bucks. But even at a higher price this is a great package for the on the road griller. Everything you need in a nice case. Quality stainless steel tools. What more can you ask for? Ignore the clueless reviewer from Chicago (a little tip for you my dear...if you receive a broken product you send it back for replacement)

Weber 9859 Premium Gas Grill Cover Fits Genesis Silver C, Genesis Gold B and C, Genesis 2000-5500

The deliciously cooked foods Weber grills produce are reason enough to keep yours clean and protected year-round with a weather-resistant Weber grill cover.

Like all Weber grill covers, this one is made of heavy-duty vinyl that resists cracking even in subzero temperatures. It fits Genesis Silver C grills and Genesis 2000 to 5500 grills. --Benjamin Reese

Customer Review:

GREAT COVER-UP

The Weber 9850 Premium Gas Grill Cover is a perfect fit for the Genesis Gold C. I had received the grill as a freebie using American Express points. I wanted to protect my new grill and thus I ordered this grill cover. The fit is excellent. During a recent hurricane in this region, the cover remained intact and kept water off the grill. Great product.

Great Material, Great Fit... Questioning the "Vents"

This grill cover fits my Genesis Gold B grill (2005) wonderfully. The heavy plastic material is durable. The vents are my concern. Not only does rain go through both vents, the water then drips down along the front and rear of the grill, pooling in the storage cabinet area below (which is made of coated steel on the Gold B, and will eventually corrode). Be aware of these vents before purchase-- they WILL allow water to enter. They could be better placed to prevent this from happening, but they're not. To shell out $55 for a grill cover-- designed by the manufacturer of the grill-- there is no excuse for this design "flaw".

Got you covered

I purchased the Premium cover to fit my Genesis Silver C grill and it is a perfect fit. I could not believe the quality of the cover when I took it out of the package. It has a very nice vent built into it right in front where the handle is so if rain was to get into the vent, the water would only pass through to the ground. Very good idea. You can adjust the cover by the velcro straps so even a hurricane will not blow it off the grill. I do not see myself buying another premium grill cover again only because I expect this cover will last as long as the grill itself and that will be a long, long time. The Weber Logo sits right in front of the cover giving the grill a touch of class. Weber does it again. They are the best. WEBER RULES THE BBQ WORLD!
