Just used this after the full vacation of sun filled days. I got way too much sun and this was so refreshing! Love it!

I purchased this to block the sun from a small window that the sun was beating in and making the room so very hot. For such a small window I really wanted a pretty curtain, we had just tore our bathroom down to the studs and refinished it with subway tile and bead board, I wanted the room to keep nice look, a little fussy but not to fussy. This little curtain was what I was looking for. It blocks the sun from coming in so very nice. The bathroom is staying much cooler now with the little curtain up. My husband actually complained it was to dark with it up. Well with fall her now it will be coming down until next summer. I think I will miss it, it really was pretty and matched my shower curtain nicely.
The mateial was thick, no loose strings, tight stitching. The backing is sewn very nice the stitching is very secure. I thought there were little beads or sequens on it but there are not, it is just a perfect little valance or curtain. As I said it really does block the sun nicely in my window, but my window is also very small so it is very bunched up, which is the way I like my curtains.

I purchased these for a sun room in the back of our house. Not only are they very pretty, they really block all sun! We did not use the rinky dink hangers that came with it though - my husband screwed them into the wall utilizing much more sturdy screws.
We just had hurricane Irene come thru and I can tell you that those blinds actually blocked seepage from the hurricane and did not move back and forth.
I would definitely give these blinds a 5 star rating!!!!

I love this item. I had given one a few years ago as a gift, then I bought another one and gave as a gift to someone else. I decided it was time to have one of my own. It's absolutely wonderful for a small patio or deck. The first one I gave is on a large deck, but as a bench fits perfectly out of the way, but when needed becomes a picnic table that easily accomodates four adults. The umbrella hole already made in it is great too for those really sunny days. It goes together so easily and quickly. The directions say you need two adults at one point in the construction, but I put it together alone in my living room one Saturday afternoon watching television. Then easily moved it out the door onto the deck with no problem. I love this product and plan to give a couple more as gifts.

Nicely made, functional for sun and sea. Quality item.

I definitely prefer using the two shield overlapping of these two versus the one long, floppy kind. They remove from the case with a twist and return with a twist. This took a minute to figure out,
But the directions made it easy. They definitely work well at keeping the sun out and reflecting some of the stifling heat that smacks when opening the door. They are proving their worth. The East Coast is getting "cooked" this summer! I would purchase these again.

I have purchased this item before from Coast and was very satisfied to receive another. The things I like the most about this product are (1) the use of commodity batteries and (2) a disk of light comes out, instead of a diffuse light.

I have really enjoyed using this! Its currently the middle of our hot summer and I do NOT want to turn on the oven on for fear of heating the house. We normally don't cook anything hot until after 7 pm because that is when the power costs less. But now, I've been able to make some fun sides and dishes earlier in the day without heating up the house. We've made tostada shells, sweet potato and red potato fries, sausage, and chicken. Also, just after we received this, our microwave died and we were without it for a couple of weeks, so I used this to reheat foods quickly and cook foods like chicken nuggets. Life saver! PLUS, it's great knowing I can create all these foods without frying them and adding unnecessary fat and calories to my family's bodies. It proves that you don't have to compromise taste to be healthy!

As for cleaning and storing, I found it really easy to clean. The basket removes from the base making it easy to clean up. I will note that if you are wanting to soak the basket a little in the base, keep the base in the sink. As you can imagine, the sausage was a little greasy and I wanted it to soak for a little bit before I scrubbed it. Somehow all but the last 1-2 inches of water leaked out of the base while soaking it. If it was on the counter next to the sink soaking, it would have been a mess! It comes with a top handle to help easily move it and it stores nicely under my island next to my toaster and crockpot.

I also LOVE the red option!

This is a cool little item!  It's nice to have three different brightness levels.  It's extremely lightweight and can be folded up to make it compact so you can use it anywhere.  I also like the fact that it takes normal AA batteries, having to recharge stuff all the time is getting annoying, I really don't want to have to do it with a lamp as well so I like that feature.

This item is perfect if going on vacation or if you just forget to water your plants. I have a planter outside my front door which is on the lower level and am always forgetting to water..(might have something to do with my age..haha). I attached to a plastic water bottle, put a small pin hole in bottom of bottle, and then carefully insert into soil near plant roots.  Also the fact that it will fit different size bottles so if you're going away for a week or so you can use a larger bottle of water to keep your plants hydrated. It has a removable smaller screw on cap and then two different size screw on caps so fits many different size bottles. I also suggest that you buy sturdier plastic bottles and they can be decorated with paint if your artistic or duct tape to make a prettier more decorative and also color coordinated to your outdoor or indoor color scheme. Highly recommend.

This is a seriously cute idea! It worked right out of the box even without charging it in the sun to start with. Great emergency light since all that is required to charge it is the sun to provide several hours of bright light at night. Very eco -friendly too.  I do plan to put something in the jar but haven't figured out what yet; perhaps some colored marbles or something reflective. I'm also thinking of ordering a couple of these as gifts for those folks "who have everything." Several of these would make good patio lights as the description indicates.

This item is great for mood lighting in lanterns on my patio all summer long. They are bright enough to reflect beautiful colors and the timer makes them a really good choice for this purpose. You put them on when you want them to go on and they turn back on the next day at the same time. How simple is that? Also, each candle came with an extra battery and was very carefully packaged in its own little box. Love these and will definitely purchase more!

Love this product.  I found out about these through a friend who had them at their house.  I ordered them and absolutely LOVE them!  The added feature of when you turn it on and the light shines on your food so you can see how much product you are putting on is nice.  I would certainly purchase again or for a gift for someone.
