Chokes on Pine Tree Needles
596508
Okay, it choked and clogged on the noble fir needles from our Christmas tree - it was pretty sad.
This vacuum is fine for the price. It's much smaller than I expected, definitely a compact model, with about a 12" vacuum width.  It's a good size for a 1 or two bedroom apartment, but not really suited for a 1500+ sq foot setting.  Since it clogged easily on something so light and small, I cannot recommend this little guy to anyone.  I had a dirt devil slightly bigger that i bought 5 years about before it burnt out prior to this model for $60 at target.  It worked well. I can't say the same for this model.

I have a 90lbs, year-old Old English Sheepdog that only eats holistic food, the occasional rawhide and/or beef rib<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Merrick-Merrick-Ranger-Beef-Rib-8-to-10-Inch-20-Count/dp/B007RM899S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Merrick Merrick Ranger Beef Rib, 8 to 10-Inch, 20 Count</a>. A very clean diet for a dog. Unfortunately, she had the worst breath. A roadside carcass, fish and garbage can combination. Horrible.

HAD the worst breath. After maybe a week of using V Biotene, she has been welcomed back into our personal space and as kissable as ever. There is barely any scent to her breath. I cannot believe my nose and there is not a spec of plaque on her teeth. Also, OSEs are known to have the most sensitive stomach and she has shown no effects whatsoever.

Highly recommend - even adding it to my cats water.

These are some of the smallest pinecones I have ever seen. I did not intend to purchase this item, I accidently bought it with one click. I was going to return it untill I realized it would cost $8 to return. So I decided to take it to a family BBQ and use some in the fire pit. They did not seem to want to burn even though they were in a large fire. I ended up having to throw them in by the handfulls just to get the desired coloring effect.

Definitely a slow killer. Suffocates or starves rat by trapping its head. Luckily the first rat succumbed in just a few seconds, but the second rat disappeared with the trap. Now waiting for the smell to start coming from my attic. Not good. From now on I will tie a string to whatever type of trap I put out. Not recommended.

I ordered this for my father. It arrived today. He immediately opened it and then took it outside as the needles fell all around it.  This is big wreath and sheds LOTS of needles.  Hanging it on an outside door is not an option as each time you open the door more needles fall! The word he used to describe the wreath was "shredded".

Others had referenced the same problem. I disagree that it is expected to be brittle this late in the season. If so, don't sell it me!

I have a large cottonwood tree in my yard. It constantly sends shoots out that pop up in our garden and grass. I spray the Sucker Stopper on the shoots and they are wilted in hours. I give it a chance to work and cut them off the next day. So far none have come back!!!!

Both my Brother in Law and Husband flew their drone (Christmas Presents) in to trees the first time they used them because they said the controls are hard to maneuver.  May have helped to read the instructions first.  They are both out of trees and back in to practice now!?!?!?!?!

We have a bunch of pine needles in our gutters and this did not clear them out.  It does an OK job with big leaves and dirt.

Total junk.  Opening the jar you can smell it and it's not bad.  Put it a stick or two on the tree and you can't smell it anymore.  You'll have to be nearly 5 centimeters from it to detect a scent.  Biggest waste of money I've seen in a while.  NOW, one thing I suggest is wearing latex gloves to put the hook onto the stick.  If you don't do that then your hands will smell like pine.  In fact, if you want to smell pine in your house...you ought to just handle the sticks without gloves...as that will be the only pine you smell.  These are "Spruce" rather than pine by the way.

Pros of this product: one of the only things that can deter the cat from chewing, ingesting & vomiting needles off the fake xmas tree.

Cons: plastic pine needle vomit infinitely preferable to the lingering effects this stuff has on humans.

Last year I had to practically douse our new fake tree with the stuff to deter chewing kitty. I know how potent it is so I took precautions like using gloves, changing clothes etc. This year I got the tree out again & it seems the stuff leaves a residue that wafts off the tree with every movement & is somehow more potent/irritating then it was last year. Since the tree has been out the entire living room is like a chemical warfare site. I have had one of the worst headaches in my life & the bitter taste will not go away. I cannot fathom how I will decorate the tree without a respirator & am seriously considering chucking this $500 tree out altogether.

Side note: why the heck are we not employing this stuff against ISIS? Supposedly non-toxic so pretty sure it wouldn't contravene the Geneva Convention & I am certain it would be effective to utterly demoralize an enemy. Definitely cheaper than much of our military weaponry, too.

Tldr; effective product, unpleasant side effects, off label usage as terrorist deterrent

These do NOT smell like pine trees. I wanted it to smell like I'm in a forest! Instead it smells like some kind of soapy cleaning product. And it smells so so so strong and awful.

I don't like this because it is cheap but because it IS cheap and you can make one just as cheap like I did.  get  yourself a couple of 2x4 cut into 16-24" pieces.  I used pressure treated wood but not required.  I then place them around my tree and use a cheap ratchet strap from Wal Mart to hold them in place or you can use fencing wire to hold the sticks together. basically you don't want them falling or slipping out.  secure around the tree with ratchet or fencing wire than wrap your zip line around a couple of times or as recommended by the manufacturer.  make sure the boards are spaced so that the wire is not touching the tree.  adjust board spacing until you get that.  now tighten up your zip line and your all set.  note it is recommend that you move them or take them down periodically to allow the tree to not die in those sections.  this is the procedure used by all the zip line camps I know about in Canada

First time using this product for making pine needle baskets. Would have preferred the sinew to be flat and be waxed. Instead, the product behaves more like hemp cord, tangles easily, and shreds the pine needles. Likely won't buy this product again .

I love Malabrigo sock which is about 440yds and the YBW-B ate my yarn! I wound up having to go unwind/rewind throughout the process and when all was said and done, the cake  was uneven/lobsided. So I learned the hard way that with this winder I have to wind in slow motion which for me isn't much faster than winding by hand. I also wound a Cascade Heritage Silk sock weight about the same yardage and had the same problem and noticed that the base of the cone isn't really all that large and makes me nervous to wind anything more than 440 yards. Lastly, in effort to clear out my stash I pulled out some Caron Simply Soft to finish off a project and it was pilling so I spent hours untangling it to be wound only to have the cone and its base fly off mid wind. I found the nut/bolt holding the base and cone in place on the floor about half an hour later. No, you cant get it back on unless you take the winder apart which requires more than a manual screw driver. I'm so glad I didn't pay for this, I only got to wind about 1400 yards on it before it died.

My father bought me the Stanwood Needlecraft YBW-A which I absolutely loved until I snapped the plastic handle in half and it became completely unusable since the handle snapped inside the housing. I've seen lots of great reviews for the Royal Blue Winder but it is twice as expensive than  Stanwood Needlecraft YBW-A which I would buy it again rather than this YBW-B, pos.

On the first few cuts, tree bark  on wood chips keep getting caught in the back . Then after only 4 short cuts to make a triangle so the tree would fall correcty. The saw stopped. The chain was loose. The tree being cut was only 8 inches in diameter.  Went to get a heavy duty from another big home dtore, finished the job with a problem.  Maybe great for cutting branches.

We had to cut down very large elm and locust trees after a major ice storm pretty much destroyed them. Fast forward...hundreds of sprouts came up from remaining roots and nothing would stop them! We ran across this product when we were at the point of considering dynamite. :) After spraying (6 fluid ounces...which I weighed out...to 3 gallons of water in a pump sprayer, you could see the stubborn trees wilting by the end of the day. I also sprayed the tops of the remaining tree trunks. Hopefully it kills the roots so more do not grow. Ill try to update later.
