    Bushnell Yardage Laser Rangefinder Has Simple 1 Button Operation

    October 30th, 2017

    Small product picture of hunting rangefinder review.

    For many golf enthusiasts, the draw of the game comes from its challenge. Golfers must take into account the winds, yardage, and layout of the course before each strike of the ball to ensure that they make the most of each shot. After all, to win in golf one must finish with the least number of strokes. While many purists prefer to use their own minds to determine distances and make club selections, there are tools to help those who don’t have the same ability. The Bushnell Yardage Laser Rangefinder is just one of many tools available to help golfers. The laser hunting rangefinder from Bushnell offers accurate distances from 5 yards out to 999 yards.

    Designed with a slim, water-proof body the Bushnell features a simple one-button operation. This particular model is accurate to within a yard and works through rain and snow, even conquering immediate obstacles such as bushes and branches. Range finders are a dime a dozen and are used by golfers and hunters alike. The Bushnell sets itself apart with easy operation and accurate readings. The Yardage Pro Sport failed to impress online reviewers with few offering up perfect five star ratings. The majority of reviewers weighed in saying that despite Bushnell’s claims, the Yardage Pro was not good for golfing purposes. Additionally, many individuals disputed the claim of yardage capabilities out to 999 yards. Many found that it could not provide accurate readings beyond 200 yards. Although the Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport Laser has not impressed golfers, hunters and others have found good uses for the device. If you are looking for help with golf distances, a more advanced model from Bushnell or golf-specific range finder is probably the way to go.

    September 15th, 2017

    Small product picture of a glass hummingbird feeder review.

    With over 300 hummingbird species in the Western Hemisphere, you’re bound to see some of them at your window with the Perky Pet Glass Hummingbird Feeder. With a bright red color used to lure in the hummingbirds, this feeder is made from clear, shatterproof glass. The feeder features six feeding ports with bee guards that are built-in. The feeder also includes a four-way perch and can hold 30 ounces of nectar. When you need to fill or clean the feeder, simply unscrew the base. Finding the perfect glass hummingbird feeder can be difficult work, especially as this product is intended to be used by hummingbirds, not just its buyers.

    Fortunately, the Perky Pet feeder has received excellent reviews and has worked out the flaws that many other feeders have. It’s made from clear, red glass, is easy to clean, and is large enough to be enjoyed by a variety of birds, especially with the post. Some consumers have considered purchasing the Schrody Glass Hummingbird Feeder, only to discover that the glass is clear and there is red cellophane paper placed over it. This cellophane begins to wear when the feeder is cleaned, which has led to poor reviews by product owners. It is also double the price of the Perky Pet. Indeed, consumers have been happy with the affordability and functionality of the Perky Pet feeder, but there are some criticisms on this hanging hummingbird feeder. Consumers found the feeder hard to clean and without a proper cleaning, the feeder can develop mold, which is dangerous to hummingbirds. A helpful reviewer suggested using grains of rice to clean the feeder instead of soap. Overall, this glass hummingbird feeder is an attractive way to feed and observe hummingbirds right in your own yard.

    April 24th, 2017

    Product review of coleman camping stove.

    Whenever people are searching for the right emergency camping stove unit to include with their food storage disaster preparations, the Coleman dual-fuel liquid fuel stove should be considered. While propane stoves may be easy to use, the Coleman liquid fuel stove will run on common gasoline when necessary. The Coleman 2 Burner Dual-Fuel Compact Liquid Fuel Stove offers users the choice of purchasing Coleman liquid fuel or in using their own brands of flammable liquid gas. Unleaded gasoline will work in this Coleman camping stove. During times of neighborhood emergencies, these gasoline styles of stoves will always have an available fuel source to use.

    On Amazon, there are many high-quality reviews about the Coleman outdoor camping stove. The Coleman propane camping stove name is fondly remembered by some users as the portable stovetop burners that their parents or grandparents used for years. The compact model of the Coleman Liquid Fuel Stove is sized to provide an easy storage situation while being heavy enough to withstand some long-term rugged use. When compared, the Coleman liquid fuel stoves are less expensive to operate than the propane tank styles. The Coleman liquid fuels and our common gasoline prices are less expensive per unit than propane. With the propane stoves, many landfill locations now charge an extra fee for the safe disposal of each used propane canister from a camping stove. Coleman camping stoves are still free to operate plus the cost of fuel.

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.
