I purchased this extension cable to feed to an electric snowblower. It works very well and maintains its flexibility in 0 degree weather. The voltage loss is well within what I expected and the power light in the end let me know when I had pulled the plug out of the socket. The tines are not as strong as I expected, but the bent back well. So it is important to secure the cable so that you don't put strain on the plug.

This expensive cable was well worth the price, in that my lawn Mower operates with power and without blowing circuits. It is pliable to a point and very visible in the grass. I highly recommend this product on peace of mind alone.

very soft and flexable, perhapes more so than your average extension cords in the house, not sure if it will hold up well if I keep on dragging it around, I'll say avoid it whenever possible, not too heavy for its given lengh, haven't use it in the winter yet, but do provide my outdoor power equipements and tools a steady output for sure.

Works as expected with an LED to indicate continuity/power. I hope the exterior insulating jacket holds up well, but so far not a problem. It's HEAVY DUTY!!!!

I bought this cord to use with my electric snow blower and electric weed trimmer. It is a great heavy duty cord. The bright blue color helps it stick out in the green grass so you don't accidentally cut it. I haven't had a chance to try it in the winter, but I have a lot of faith it will be great, being a Coleman product.

Edit: I've used this cord with my electric snow blower over one whole winter now. It stays nice and flexible in below freezing temperatures. No issues with the cord so far.

Review of Frigidaire FRA25ESU2 25,000 BTU Window-Mounted Heavy-Duty Air

Customer Ratings:

Amazon shipped this item with a private shipping company which called ahead to schedule delivery and ensured the unit was in good condition. I had some trouble determining the plug type prior to receiving the air conditioner. I wanted the wiring to be ready before it arrived. It comes with the 30 amp 3-prong 240V plug shown in the online manual. It was about a 2-day job to get this mounted thru the wall on my own. I had to enlist a friend to lift it in though. The unit works great compared to my old 120V 10,000 btu air con, plus the heat pump feature will be great for some chilly mornings!

This unit cools or heats three good sized rooms with no problem. 220V uses less electricity than 110V units, so runs cheaper.

Cools great, haven't tried the heat yet. Quiter that others I have seen, seems to be well made. Installation was a breeze.

This replaced a Whirlpool in-wall 25,000 BTU unit that sounded more like an airplane at takeoff than anything else when it was on High. The noise-level is about half of the old AC which is a downright pleasure and does just as well to keep the same area cool.

It is big that's true, and look nice but that's not the point here. Product description says that it can cool room sizes up to 1672 sq. ft. This is not TRUE at all!

I have room 20x20' and this unit doesn't do any good. It makes room cooler but not cool enough. I would expect much more from 25.000 BTU and before this one I had like 10 years old unit 22.000 BTU and I see no differences. So something is not right. On sunny hot day you will sweat. I wouldn't recommend this to no one. Not very good if you need cool your room/house, unless it is small room.

My son characterized outdoor fire pits as woks, balls, or crockpots. I would add to that big, clunky, hard-to-move unattractive chimineas. This is a wok type. The bowl is a lovely beaten copper. Even with a fire burning in it, the rim is not too hot to touch, so you don't have to worry about little kids touching it and burning themselves. With this type of fire pit, the heat dissipates in all directions and cools from the bottom, so it is not as warm as a camp fire. But on your patio, you don't want it to be. It is portable enough to take along to other places. Easy to clean. I am crazy about it.

Pros:

Once assembled the bowl and legs are very sturdy. The bowl handles a decent fire. It has a simple, clean design. The bowl isn't fixed to the legs so it can be easily removed to empty ashes. The bowl is adequately deep. Assembly is straight forward.

Cons:

The legs aren't machined well meaning it might take some muscle to get the base assembled square. The bowl has a poorly applied copper finish. It looks like thick paint put on with a cheap brush. I missed the word "finish" and thought I was getting a copper bowl. Bummer. The cover is thin, doesn't fit flush with the bowl and bends easily. The bowl and cover rust at the first sign of humidity.

Great size for traveling. We brought this on our Cape Cod vacation. We've always liked sitting outside in the evenings but after sunset we would have to move inside. This summer we were able to keep the evenings going by using the fire pit at night. Very atmospheric and the copper bowl is so beautiful.

Unexpected bonus kept the bugs away!!!

I bought this fire pit about 5 months ago and it's awesome. It's very stable and weather resistant. I left it out with no cover and just flipped the bowl over and it's held up really well.

UPDATE Had for over a year, held up fairly good. It does rust if not covered and left in rain, but that seems like a normal happening, overall good buy.

It's not the best quality,but for $50 it's worth it. I would not pay almost $150 for this.

Reviews of DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I purchased the PAC600T (one step below this unit) from Amazon one year ago. When it arrived, I filled the tank with water, inserted it in the unit and my floor was covered with water less than a minute later. Turns out the unit's plastic base housing was cracked during shipment. Amazon replaced the unit, with the same results for the second unit. At that same time, there must have been lots of returns because Amazon stopped selling the unit. I stepped up to this unit with its slightly higher BTUs and hefty price.

The unit arrived fine, no leaks after filling with water, and I used it most of last summer (in a 14' x 20' room with average height ceiling). The unit puts out cool, definitely not cold, air. The only way to really use the unit is to get it started when the temperature isn't too high, then keep it running. I don't think it would be able to cool a warm room. It simply isn't overly powerful. That may have to do with the fact that it operates at 110 volt, rather than 220 like many AC units that are built into apartment walls.

The unit has been sitting behind my couch all winter. When I went to use it this year, the removable plastic water tank was cracked. It was emptied at the end of the season and not exposed to excessive temperatures, so I don't know what that's about.

I assumed that with the high BTU (and price tag), this would be the unit to use. But I'm going to try one of the less expensive units this year and check out its performance.

I bought 2 units last year. At first it worked fine. Then, this season, when I started to use the air conditioners, one of the unit leaked at the base, ruining my wood floor. I thought I could just use it without water, and I found it to be very insufficient to cool off the room. I have used different models of pinguino and I found that the newer models are more problematic. If it isn't leaking, then it is the alarm light that kept coming on, shutting down the unit. I followed the maintenance procedure to clean the unit, but it doesn't seem to help. I am fed up with pinquino. I think I may have to switch back to those window units.

This product,DeLonghi 700T,was about the worst purchase that I have ever made.The unit ran for 10 mins and then shut off.After several attempts,we finally found the service center that replaced the fan motor--after a 4 month wait for the part.But that did not fix the problem--the unit shuts down after a short run.Because all of this has taken so long,Delonghi says that the warranty is now limited and that I have to take the unit to a service center 50 miles away.It has been close to 2 years and I still do not have a functioning air conditioner.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner

I purchased a Pinguino PAC 700T 3 years ago. Rated at 12,000 BTUs, it cools about as well as a 6000 BTU in-window unit. However, at the beginning of this summer season, I find that it no longer cools or dehumidifies air. I found DeLonghi's central service number (800-322-3848 in case you need it) and asked for my nearest service/repair center. They informed me that they no longer have any repair centers in Massachusetts. They suggested that I take the unit to Hartford, CT, about 2 hours from Boston where I live. Having paid $1300 for this unit just 3 years ago, I expected better service than this. It appears that DeLonghi maybe doesn't care too much about supporting their products after the sale. This will be my last DeLonghi product of any kind.

I bought the 700 Pinquino A/C unit because of its excellent energy efficiency and quiet operation. I liked the looks too, so many others look so ugly that I would not have them in my livingroom. I have had the unit for two years now, and so far no problems at all. It works great, and is very quiet, and cools my 700sqft room well, although it takes a while when above 90F. The water reservoir lasts about a day before needing refilling. My only complaint is a minor one: The plastic finish is of good quality, but it scratches easily when moving the unit around and you bump into something. If it had some color matching bumper strips or something around its middle section, that might help. I am happy with this unit.
