I bought this to replace a 38 year old Craftsman. It sounds like it was a good machine. It wasn't It broke a hundred times I was just good at repairing it. Time to move on. So I researched and looked at this, and several other front wheel drive machines. One of the main requirements to me is the ease and availability of parts. It turns out Its as easy if not easier than Sears.
This machines best feature to me is the veriable speed control. The harder you squeeze the faster it goes. This is
handy on hills. The machine has plenty of power and a screen
type basket witch allows good pick up insted of leaves and
such blowing out from underneath. The only "Con" so far is
the spring loaded flap that rests on top of the basket has three small hollow spots that fill with clippings. No biggy.
Would I recommend this machine to a friend? Yes I would.
The Price with shipping was better than local stores too.

Makita BBX7600CA Commercial Grade 4-Stroke 75.6cc Backpack Blower (CARB Compliant) Review

Makita BBX7600CA Commercial Grade 4-Stroke 75.6cc Backpack Blower (CARB Compliant)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After considerable research, I decided to buy the Makita BBX7600. I live in S. Florida on an acre with lots of trees and a good backpack blower is a must. I looked at Echo, Husquavarna, Redmax, Tanaka, etc. This blower is actually made by Robin Outdoor power equipment ([...]) under a private label arrangement with Makita. You may not have heard of them but they actually cater to the commercial market and their engines are made by Subaru. Subaru makes some of the finest small engines on the market. I've only used this blower a few times so far but it is powerful, smooth and quiet. I love the fact that you don't have to worry about two stroke oil and this baby starts on the first pull every time. It is slightly heavier than I thought, but not much different than other blowers with this size. I think the components on this unit have a slightly higher quality feel than what you'll find at your local big box retailer. It may just be the placebo effect but that's my observation.
There are not many reviews on this blower out there and one individual completely trashes the product and manufacturer. I would simply suggest you read ALL the reviews on other products posted by that individual and take that into consideration on your decision. This (so far) is a great product. I ordered this Tuesday night and it arrived Thursday - free shipping with amazon Prime. At $399 with free shipping, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Airless Electric Spray Gun - Atomizes Paint for More Efficient Paint Application Review

Airless Electric Spray Gun - Atomizes Paint for More Efficient Paint Application
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product did not work as hoped. Spray pattern disappeared after refilling the container only 3 times (less than 1/2 hour usage time). I was using a clear water seal, not even a pigmented paint. Cleaning the tip and filter did not help. As a separate issue, also know that the instruction booklet says that this sprayer cannot be used with latex paint.
HOWEVER, the Amazon vendor, Jack's Tool Shed, was fabulous. I sent them an e-mail and they called me back within minutes. Jim was professional, courteous and sympathetic. He issued a credit for the defective product. I absolutely recommend Jack's Tool Shed to everyone.
I averaged to get the 3 star rating. The product gets a 1, but Jack's Tool Shed gets 5+ stars for their terrific customer service, which is the true measure of a company.

Blue Pearl Robotic IG Pool Cleaner With PVA Brushes Review

Blue Pearl Robotic IG Pool Cleaner With PVA Brushes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live in Miami and I purchased the Blue Pearl about 6 months ago for my in-ground 15 X 30 gunite pool. I use it one to two times a week. I was apprehensive about spending this much money for a pool cleaner, especially when I couldn't find any kind of consistent positive reviews for robotic cleaners in general.
But, even though my pool looks perfect, it is old and plumbing for it has always been marginal. Which makes vacuuming slow with not enough suction to run a typical automatic pool cleaner. So I was forced to consider a more expensive robotic cleaner.
Overall, I have been very happy with my decision to purchase the Blue Pearl. I have gotten plenty of use out of it without any problems and it does a really great job of cleaning if you use it regularly. It has never hung up on the ladder or the steps. It goes to the surface and turns around and goes back down the wall. It will clean my pool in about 1.5-2.0 hours but will shut itself off after 3 hours. To minimize wear and tear, if I am around, I will turn it off when the pool is clean. You are then supposed to let it set for at least 10 minutes to let the motor cool before removing the cleaner. You are also not supposed to leave the cleaner in the pool indefinitly I guess to prevent water getting past the motor seals. The only hassle is cleaning the filter bag which takes about 5 minutes but is still much less than the time to clean the pool your self.
I am sure it is made by the same people that make Aquabot (the warranty address is the same) and most of the components if you look at parts schematics are identical.
I wasn't impressed with quality control however. When I first put my Blue Pearl in the pool, it simply didn't move. I took it out and found that the drive belt and one of the gears wasn't installed correctly. I took it apart, it was a bit of a hassle but easier than returning it, and reassembled it correctly. It then worked perfectly, much to my relief. Still, it shows that company does not test run their products after assembly.
For the average home owner, I see no reason to spend more for some of the other fancier robotic cleaners. This one works great and I would have to say, I would get the Blue Pearl again. Check around as prices vary widely.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a reputable company come out & service our furnace & Aprilaire unit. However, we just found out that they took this part out & NEVER REPLACED IT! How bad is that, to have to go back & take things apart to check & make sure these folks are doing their job!?!?
Next time, we'll be standing there, watching every move they make, IF there is a next time!
Now that our Aprilaire unit is screwed. We needed to get parts for it. I found most of the parts we needed from the "Buy It Now Store" here on Amazon.
I was pleasantly surprized to find out that since we were ordering more than just one part, they combined shipping, giving us a great shipping rate! Expedited shipping was only $2.00 more & it came very quickly.
We are VERY HAPPY with the service we received from this store here on Amazon & I would highly recommend them to everyyone!
The part doesn't look exactly like the picture, but it fits, it works & is the part we needed.
Thank you Buy It Now Store for exceptional customer service & quick shipping!

Thermwell Products Plas Exhaust Fan Cover Ec108 Pipe Insulation Review

Thermwell Products Plas Exhaust Fan Cover Ec108 Pipe Insulation
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's a lightweight plastic cover, intended to fit over the exhaust fan. It does all that. But the magnets that should hold it in place are too weak to keep it on the wall. I bought some heavyduty magnets, but since the fan is chrome, my magnets had nothing to grab onto -- the ones glued into the fan cover are so weak, or have so little iron in them, that they are barely attracted even to the powerful magnets I got. Don't bother buying this thing -- I'm just going to build a fan cover out of wood.
The only thing good about this fan cover is the price.
