Customer Review:

GREAT GRILL BUT MISLEADING DESCRIPTION

Amazon's product description indicated that it came with 3 surfaces, grill, griddle and stove. That's what I expected to receive but only got the grill. When I complained to the(foreign) customer service rep (3 times) I got a loop of scripted, "Sorry, you can send it back." rather than making good on their offer to include the rest of the product. Otherwise, you can buy it anywhere for the same price. About $50 more for the other surfaces!

Now, as for the grill, it takes some getting used to. It's HOT!! Just like a caste iron skillet, you need to season the grates (Oil and bake on low heat) or you will have a lot of sticking, even with Pam, until it gets broken in.

I was vexed by the greasy mess left after each use on all of those shiny chrome surfaces and the grates themselves. Tedious clean-up, which takes the fun out of grilling, so first I lined the underpan (and table surfaces)with foil (leaving the drain hole open). Then laid a bed of brickets around the burners. The brickets closest to the flame will ignite imparting a more authentic smell and flavor. The brickets also asorb the spatters. You might prefer lava rocks. Splash a little water on the partially burnt coals to extinguish to save for next time. Now it's a grate grill (pun intended) and you don't need those other surfaces anyway!

great but clumsy

I bought it at Camping World on sale for about $160. Used it twice - once to cook tri-tip, and once to cook baby back spare ribs. Food turned out excellent.

Although definitely portable, it is a bit heavy and very clumsy to carry, setup, and takedown. Once used, the inside becomes crusted with grease and bad things that tend to get on your clothing during takedown or when carrying the BBQ.

There is an optional carrybag, about $36 per www.coleman.com, but I have not been able to find it locally. This may be what is needed for this to be a truly useful device, but that then brings the total cost to about $200. A lot for a portable grill.

Innovation=Exellence

This new rendition of the Coleman Roadtrip Grill is all you can ask for in a grill and more. Not only does it output 10,000 BTU (more powerful than all of the grills in its class), but is open flame cooking grills a mean steak.

The LXE can come off its convenient stand and be used for a table top grill. The stand is a foldable handle and wheels for easy portability, and the best part is that the grill grates can interchange with a griddle (mix and match) or stove grate. All of the interchangeable plates are removable and dishwasher safe.

I highly recommend this grill.

Strathwood Basic Elements Chaise Lounge with Side Table

This handsome, well-made chaise is tailor-made for soaking up the sun or relaxing by the pool. A unique tray table extends to hold drinks, magazines, and other lounging essentials, then slides back underneath for storage. The back adjusts to five positions--from fully-upright to completely-reclined. Matching cushions can also be purchased to add even more comfort.

The bench’s slotted surface allows rain to flow through, rather than collect and damage the wood. The piece is made from kapur wood, a high-density Southeast Asian hardwood with excellent weather-resistant properties. Light enough to move easily around deck or lawn, kapur requires no finishing and is exceptionally-sturdy--with enough oil to repel the ravages of rain, sun, and dew. Rust-resistant hardware and mortise and tenon construction also add to the piece’s strength and durability.

Before shipment, your new furniture received a generous application of teak oil. Teak oil provides protection from the ultraviolet sunrays. Left untreated, Kapur will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. If you prefer to prevent this weathering process, you may apply additional coats of teak oil. The frequency of necessary teak oil applications will depend on the intensity of the sun in your environment, but typically, one or two coats per year is sufficient. Teak oil can usually be found at a marine dealer, hardware store, or internet dealer. If you allow your furniture to weather, you may later decide that you would want to restore it to its original condition. This is possible by using teak cleaner products, also available at most marine dealers and internet dealers. After following the instructions for cleaning, you will want to apply a coat of teak oil to prevent the weathering process.

The lounge’s preassembled components fit together easily with the help of an included allen wrench. This item measures 74 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 12-1/2 inches tall. --Mary Park

Felco F-2 "The Original" Hand Pruner

These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture.

Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime. --Mary Park

Customer Review:

Work Too Well!

Wife was always outside trimming everything in sight - yard looked like it was barren. So I hid them!

The gold standard of pruners. Buy It!

Ever since I got my first Felco pruner, I will not even consider buying any other brand. Not only do they work better than any other brand, they are simple to take apart and clean and replace worn parts. They are even relatively simple to sharpen, although it takes a slightly different touch than your pocket knife or chef's knife.

The bottom line is that they work really, really well for years, even without sharpening. Their scissors action is much better than the anvil style. This F-2 model is the most general purpose design and I use it on virtually everything.

I will suggest that if, like me, you have relatively small hands, the smaller F-6 model is slightly more comfortable and easier to use for most work. I have both and use the F-6 for heavy duty end of the year pruning and the F-2 throughout the summer for average pruning jobs.

There's no substitute for quality

I have a couple of rules about tools that I've developed for myself, I'll share one here, don't buy crap. Most expensive doesn't equate best, but do your homework and buy good quality, it will cost you less in the long run.
A few years ago I bought a pair of corona "professional" pruners after having borrowed my brother-in-laws felco #2's. I used them for a couple of cuts and couldn't stand them... so I took them back, which I really don't like to do much but they just weren't what they were represented to be by the salesman. Which is as good as Felco pruners. (Corona makes other good products I'm especially fond of their lopers.) Then I went to another store (before I grew so fond of amazon) and bought some of these. I LOVE THEM. I can't say that enough so just in case you missed it, I LOVE THEM. For the last few years I've used them every year for a good number of trees, shrubs and bushes. They are still sharp, I haven't even had to sharpen them. They cut like the day I bought them. They are so smooth and feel so nice in your hand compared to any of the others I've used. (When I was young and dumb I worked landscaping for a while, the boss had a set of these, but we got stuck using whatever else, now I know why!)

If you want the best hand pruners that will last you at least twice as long, I think you've found the right pair.

New Review!

I like this item B00004SD72 very much You should read more reviews to find out more about it

Not for the lefties

This item is very uncomfortable for me to use. I am left handed and the device feels odd in my hand. I can't get the correct leverage because the hand grip rotates the wrong direction. It is made for a right hander not the opposite.
