Promising review: "These lights are amazing! They light up from dusk till dawn, and the assembly and installation was so easy, a child could do it. They are completely made of plastic; would be nice if there was a fully metal option. I love the modern design." —SarahSTL

Promising review: "I purchased these as a gift for my mother who gardens extensively. She thanked me again for them today declaring that these were the best pruners she has ever owned (she has been at it over 50 years). She cuts the branches off her trees and shrubs, then further trims them into small sections to fit in the recycle trash bags. It is her great joy to work in the yard made even my pleasant through the use of these pruners." —A. Kelly

Promising review: "I didn't expect such a powerful blower at this price. I have a large front and backyard, and needed a blower that was powerful but lightweight (arthritis) and this delivered beyond my expectations. Great product and great price." —Kristina, USA buyer

These would definitely make me more interested in backyard cleanup.
Promising review: "I have a lawn care company so to say I have tried everything almost seems redundant. Also, I typically do not get excited about a product because I feel it should do its job. However, these are seriously amazing. Ergonomically they're wonderful because the hand part is like a baseball glove. It uses your arm to help support the load allowing a balanced feel to what is being picked up. Another great feature is when I am trimming shrubs I can use a leaf blower to move the clippings out and rake them up. Then using these and a bag stand, will make child's play out of what would otherwise be a rough task. Picking up leaves is also great in that you can get a great amount, but you can also smash them straight down to compact them in the bag without the worry of hitting a stick and cutting your hands up. If you pass up a chance to get a pair of these just know us lawn care guys are driving by and just dying to show you how much easier that chore can be for you by using this product." —J. Bradburn

The set comes with 54 pieces and can be stacked up to 4 feet! It can also be played indoors when the weather gets too cold.
Promising review: "Bought this for a gift for an adult. The kids (ages 4-5) were so excited they wanted to play it right away and they did great! Lots of fun for all ages. Sturdy construction, smooth blocks slide well. Nice black carrying case fits everything. Came with a large wooden die that we did not use because we just took turns. Highly recommend." —CassH

Promising review: "We have two male dogs. Need I say more? The dog run always had an odor even after watering down after spreading liquid, a cleaning product known to many people. Enter YARD ODOR! After using it just once, the odor was cut by 90% and after two applications, the odor is gone. So glad we tried it." —Roxy

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

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy.
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Promising review: "Wow, this net is a fantastic training tool for my 11-year-old son! Couldn’t be happier with the quality, very sturdy, and really easy to assemble in less than five minutes. My son plays quarterback on our flag football team and he’s been outside every day chucking balls into it on his own, with me and with his buddies. Besides being a useful training tool, it’s really fun as we’ve turned it into a competitive game since there’s marked numbers on the net. Great deal and great product. Love Go Sports products as they’re always very high quality goods but sold at a fraction of the cost of some other brands. I give 5 Stars!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Absolutely love the dim feature! These bulbs are more round than oval like others, but I love them. When they are off, there’s a cool yellow in them that offers a lovely aesthetic when not in use. Our pergola is wired for lights so we mounted them on and almost always dim them because the white pergola reflects the light. These lights have made our patio my new favorite spot in the house. My husband and I find the evenings so relaxing, we’ve literally grown closer together from spending time out under the lights in our new favorite place." —fishurmo

Promising review: "These little planters are so pretty! They are perfect for succulents or small flowers and can be used indoors or outdoors. They do not have a drain hole but I was able to easily drill one in the bottom. Each one has handles on both sides. You could use these for decorations at birthdays, baby showers, etc., or for decor in the home with faux flowers, and many other things. I was really happy with them." —LadyTsotsos_Beauty

My husband and I recently tested this out on a wall in our apartment and it was pretty freakin' cool! I love Jessica McDonald's (@thehealthymouse on Instagram) setup for watching Disney movies with her tyke! I can totally see laying out cozy blankets, pillows, and a tent for an outdoor movie night the entire fam will enjoy. This pocket-sized gadget has the capability of streaming Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube.
Promising review: "I was so excited when I came across Cinemood, because we had been searching for an alternative for my child’s room. The sleep timer is perfect because she likes to listen to lullabies before bed, and we often read the stories as well. Shadow puppets just blew her mind away, super cool! I enjoy finding new devices I can try, and this one surely did not disappoint. I originally bought it for the kids, but I’ve actually used it for movie nights, our friends are always impressed. I look forward to using it outdoors this spring!" —Elixir Premium Lab

Promising review: "I purchased this inflatable screen for an evening fall activity for the family. After inflating and using I am wondering why in the world I didn’t buy earlier for the summer too. I wanted to see if I could inflate and set up this movie screen alone before asking for an extra hand. Good news, you can ! The directions were easy to follow and it’s only three steps. If anyone has those fun Christmas inflatables, it’s the same type of thing. In a matter of minutes the screen was inflated." —Katie

I've had one of these portable lil' gadgets for two years now (I own the Flip 4) and it hasn't failed me yet! The music is clear and crisp even when I'm using it outside at the windy beach. Definitely a fan — it does exactly what it should!
Promising review: "This little speaker packs a real punch for its size. The sound quality on this speaker is very crisp and clear and the base is quite deep. I've owned and tested many other speakers in its class and they can't compare. The durability on this thing is insane! I've thrown it down a 50-foot staircase onto asphalt and no problem occurred. I've dunked it in water on multiple occasions and nothing happened. The battery life of this thing is also kind of amazing! But I've got to tell you that this speaker has its limits due to its size. It gets the best quality use in small/medium sized rooms or small outdoor living spaces. Something this size has its limits. Besides that I highly recommend this speaker if you're trying to make your final decision." —Beckett K.

Promising review: "This grill is great! It has three burners so the things that you are grilling do not cook unevenly. I purchased a 20 lb-to-1 lb propane adapter and hooked up my 20 lb propane to it. It is easy to assemble. I usually prefer a charcoal grill over propane, but this grill came close to giving me the charcoal grill taste, it did not disappoint me. Awesome product!" —Michael S

My dad recently got one of these to test out and has been so excited to take his grilling *and* backyard game to the next level. Not only does this fire pit look awesome and provide a cozy place for your family to hangout, but because it's made with a specific COR-TEN material you'll be able to cook all kinds of things right along the edges. Pretty freakin' cool. If you'd rather *not* place your steak directly on the pit, you can go for their grill grate and cook it above the flames.

Promising review: "Wow these are awesome-love them! Worked great right out of the box, simply turn on and hang. These are much different then the standard walkway solar light as they through off a totally different kind of light/glow. They really add a cool vibe to my outdoor landscaping. These are glass jars and they look beautiful. Great purchase." —Tsuk

The set includes diagrams for suggested course set-ups, two 30 x 20-inch reinforced hop sacks, eight 14-inch agility rings with dual use connectors, two competition jump ropes, birch wood bear crawl posts, and over 150-feet of twine.
Promising review: "My kids loved using this competition set with their neighborhood friends! All of the components are really high quality and hold up well. We used this with kids ages 5 to 11 and they all had a ball. You can use your imagination and set it up several different ways. We made a course that allowed the kids to have a head to head competition, and another type of course where they each ran through it for time. It's a lot of fun, I recommend it as a great way to get your kids moving!" —Katrina Konopka

Promising review: "This is a great item if you want something BIG to express celebration for Halloween. It's over 10 feet tall!! It's very easy to assemble and comes with many other pieces to help keep it secure (i.e prevent it from simply blowing away). You literally just plug it in and done! Takes about three minutes to fully inflate. The unique design keeps it sturdy. I'm very impressed. This is going to be a great addition to our Halloween decoration collection. It's also nice that it doesn't take up much space when deflated. Plus I think it looks really cool." —MilwaukeeToolLover
