  • Product review of electric snow thrower.

    If you live in a snow-covered area but don’t want the hassle of shoveling, the Toro 38361 Power Shovel 7.5 Amp Electric Snow Thrower is a dream come true. This ultra-light snow thrower is compact, fast and effective, making the task of removing snow a breeze. The lightweight design doesn’t compromise the snow thrower’s ability to toss snow over 20 feet either! By using this 7.5 amp electric snow thrower, you can finally rid yourself of uncomfortable hours of shoveling or messing with an oversized snow blower. The shovel uses an auger drive system that removes snow out of the way, making it possible to clear a regular sized driveway in 20 minutes!

    And, the device doesn’t run on oil or gas, making it an eco-friendly choice and a cost-effective solution. There is some competition out there however, as Greenworks offers their version of an eco-friendly electric snow thrower that comes at a similar price and has excellent reviews. The advantage to the Toro brand is that it is lighter in weight, plus comes with a 2 year warranty. Toro snow throwers are also less expensive than the Snow Joe brand, yet offer the same features and ease of use. Even with the positive reviews, there are some complaints about this product. Some product owners found the electric snow thrower to be difficult to use, with more effort required than shoveling. Other reviews found the device to be sufficient only on small spaces, such as walkways or front stoops. Overall, an overwhelming number of owners found the electric snow thrower to be a great buy that makes the task of clearing off snow fast and simple!

  • Small product picture of kids bean bag chair review.

    Tired of having your kids jump all over your furniture? A kids bean bag chair is the best alternative, as it gives kids a place of their own to sit and read, watch TV or play video games. The Ace Bayou kids bean bag chair is available in small and large sizes, as well as an assortment of colors. It fits perfectly in any room, being ideal for kid spaces such as bedrooms and family rooms. The bean bag chairs feature a vinyl cover that is easy to keep clean and is stuffed with 100-percent polystyrene beads. Most of us can agree that we either owned our own bean bag chair as a kid or knew someone that did.

    These kid-favorites are popular in dens and bedrooms, but they have the disadvantage of ripping easily, allowing the pellets to come out. For this reason, the Ace Bayou child’s bean bag chair is favored over others because it’s made with soft polystyrene beads and can be refilled if needed. Customers also love that the larger size is slightly bigger than standard bean bags, offering more room for kids to relax. This bean bag chair has great reviews and even college students found the chair to be relaxing in their dorm rooms. Online reviews rave about the durability of the chairs, as well as how easy they are to keep clean. There were a handful of reviewers that felt the opposite, however, finding that the bean bag chair was coming apart at the seams. In most cases, the chair held up to frequent use by young children and teens, making it a great accessory to a busy home.

There is minimal assembly with the lounger and the included hardware is rust-resistant. The eucalyptus wood arrives with an orange-like color and weathers to a neutral grey. To maintain the color, apply teak oil to the outdoor chaise lounge, otherwise the wood needs no additional care. You can also enjoy an Eco-friendly product, as eucalyptus trees are rapid growers that lead to more affordable and attainable products. Not only is this outdoor chaise lounge a beauty, but it has many practical features.

    A slide-out tray is perfect for holding drinks and magazines, while the five adjustable positions allow anyone to be comfortable. Sit fully upright or lie all the way down using these features. The slots in the wood allow rain to drain through, instead of collecting in the wood. Strong and durable, this piece is virtually maintenance free, as you can leave it out year-round without the wood rotting or damaging. When looking at the online reviews, most consumers are more than happy with the product. At an affordable cost for an all-wood patio chaise lounge, product owners found themselves using this chair by the pool, on the deck or in the backyard for soaking up sun. What some consumers did complain about was the strong orange color that bled in the rain. Product owners found that their deck or other nearby items were stained orange, as the color came off in wet conditions. To help with this, buyers recommend using teak oil to lock in the color. Overall, this is a great wood chaise lounge to have, as it’s comfortable, attractive and made from a responsible hardwood.
