Promising review: "OMG. This rake is awesome! We have been cleaning a piece of property that has never been raked or cleared and it has layer upon layer upon layer of leaves, pine, straw, sticks, and vines and this rake does an amazing job of pulling up old sticks etc. out of the ground. It rakes leaves or whatever you need beautifully! Whenever the rake arrived and we put it together it was so light I didn't think it would handle what I needed it to do but I give it a chance and all I can say is WOW. So if you're hesitant about buying this rake, don't be — it's well worth the money and will definitely get the job done!" —Jennifer Lummus

Promising review: "We have tried different methods for picking up leaves in our yard and all methods were cumbersome. This product does the job so that it's less cumbersome. The quality of the tarp sheet and Velcro is good. It's made of durable materials and the size is good and maneuverable for easy pickup of leaves and grass." —Lavanya

Promising review: "This soil was fantastic and was perfect for growing maple tree seedlings. They took off and grew like crazy in this rich soil. I would buy it again in a second, and plan to in the future. Two months in and almost every single seedling has come in healthy and strong in this soil. I recently bought a different brand from the Home Depot because I had to get some sprouts planted that day, and couldn't wait for this to ship, and the results weren't nearly as good as with the Michigan peat. Extremely happy with the results of the Michigan peat, and am going to buy an extra bag or two to make sure I have extra available for the next time I need it. Highly recommended." —Daniel R.

Promising review: "We bought this to organize our pressure washer hose that we have hooked up in the garage when we aren't using it. It keeps the hose out of the way and isn't an eye sore. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to keep things tightly and neat." —Sharie L DeRousse

Promising review: "UE Boom 3 is an amazing small Bluetooth speaker. For its size, the sound is spectacular and can fill a small room, pool area, or picnic. The speaker is waterproof, as well as dust and shock resistant, and can FLOAT. Honestly, for music, audio books, or podcasts and movies, these sound GREAT! You definitely won't be disappointed with your purchase and will probably end up buying more like I have. They'll fit in your backpack, clip to a bike or almost anything else, and will sound great." —Vince V.

Promising review: "This device is amazing. I bought it after my gardenia plant wasn't blooming. I came to realize that I was overwatering, and my plant never recovered. Since then, I’ve taken home two amaryllis plants from work that never ever grew. I replanted them and used this device to make sure that I was watering properly and my plants are thriving! It’s a real plant saver. I even got a monstera as well. And I should note, I usually don’t have a green thumb and kill plants easily!" —Roselle

Promising review: "As someone who must be wearing a sign saying 'Bite Me' that is invisible to all but insects, I have struggled to find a reasonably nontoxic repellent that actually works. I walk in a wooded state park three miles every day. Mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and chiggers are common. I have found this product very effective in keeping all pests away. The scent may be too heavy for some, but since the repellent works, I don't care." —Perry G. Fisher

This device uses scent-free repellent mats using naturally occurring repellents found in plants to get rid of mosquitoes.
Promising review: "It doesn't smell. It doesn't make noise. It doesn't get hot. It just clears the mosquitos and only mosquitoes! I am the person a mosquito will find from miles away even in my house. The only one they find in a room full of people. I live in a tropical climate and never have a moment's peace in my garden. I've used sprays, foggers, candles, torches, the list goes on. This is the first time I've been able to sit on my patio in peace, even the cat was safe. Already ordered another for a friend and put the refills on Subscribe & Save." —J&J

Promising review: "Power washer was delivered Monday, it’s Wednesday and I have washed two cars, cleaned driveway and sidewalks, cleaned back fence, and the work keeps piling up; everything I see now needs to be cleaned! This little dude does not back down, plenty of power and it's surprisingly not too loud. Soap dispensers work great, and the tips are easy to change." —Mar

Promising review: "Just got the lights last week. We put them up on our outdoor privacy screen. We opted to wrap the screen with the lights rather than just let them dangle down since the screen was shorter than the lights. Looks great during the day and gives a great ambience at night. We love the remote control!" —Donna
