Click & Grow Indoor Smart Fresh Herb Garden Kit With 3 Basil Cartridges & Kiwi Green Lid | Self Watering Planter & Patented Nano-Tech Medium For Plant Growth
So after some research, experiments and many tests, we finally developed the Smart Soil solution that takes care of most of the problems apparent with other technologies. We wanted to make a product that delivers what it promises, but also looks great sitting on the windowsill or the table. Plant cultivation technologies tend to be messy- there are pumps, sensors, soil and wires to worry about. With the Smart herb garden I feel like we managed to keep the focus on the design but not compromise on the quality. Just insert the plant capsules, fill the water tank, and plug it in. You can choose between different refills - From Mini Tomato and Chili Pepper to Lemon Balm and Thyme - just pick a plant that excites you and start enjoying it in the Smart herb garden. Plus, we offer you cool tips and tricks about your plant and its stats through our Click & Grow app! ✔ GROW ANY PLANTS YOU WANT: This smart indoor garden is lightweight and easily portable. ✔ SMART SOIL TECHNOLOGY: The soil uses patented nano-tech growth medium that accelerates the plant growth without jeopardising quality. ✔ 100% REPLACEMENT WARRANTY: Since your satisfaction is our top priority, this portable garden is backed by our 100% replacement warranty and our 30-day money back guarantee!

"The real issue I have with this system is the price of continual use, specifically, the replacement pods. My plan, when mother is done growing out her basil, is to empty the pods and refill them with Rockwool or some other seed starter, and drop a few seeds of lemon balm, thyme, or chives and see how well the system works then."
"The light has proper intensity and is adjustable to climb with the plants... to an extent, after which you have to cut back the plants from reaching the light. The light is supposed to blink when the water level needs to be topped off, but I haven't tested that feature, so I can't make a judgement on its effectiveness. They also state that the unit has "Specialized Sensors", and that they are In-unit sensors designed constantly monitor garden vitals attend to plants’ need for light, water, and nutrients. They like to use the phrase "Smart Soil" for their potting mix, as if it is some kind of special concoction that only they can make. Any good gardener can make a non-soil potting mix every much as good as what they are putting together. So you grow three basil plants that are not designed to be transplanted, and you'll end up either tossing a lot of leaves, or living on spaghetti! They even sell an "experimental" set of capsules with nothing but their "smart soil", and no seed, so you can plant a seed of your choice. The same $19.95 for three...and in order to transplant ANY of the plants in these capsules, you have to destroy the capsule itself, so you're out another 20 bucks for three more capsules, with or without plants. I've posted my rant, but to be fair, I am a very experienced gardener, and have long experience in germination all kinds of plants from seed, and with different soil and seeding mixes... so I have a hard time with recommending this product that, like computer printers, will be emptying your wallet on a continual basis...the plants being the equivalent of printer cartridges. Just enough to pep up a salad here and there, and enjoy watching a few plants grow up to about half a foot, this is a nice little conversation starter....but if you really want to grow sustainable and healthy fruits and veggies, and you still need to do it on a smaller basis, I'd use full size pots, or grow bags, and just go to YouTube, or Google, and look up soil-less growing mixes, and do it yourself. The rewards in both planting and harvesting the fruits of your labor and much more intense than simply automating. Recommended only as a hobby, decorative, or VERY limited space growing."
"So satisfying growing my own basil, indoors, in winter."
"I’ll start by saying that I have the opposite of a green thumb, I kill all plants."
"So far so good, bought it for christmas and as of February, 2 basils and a painted nettle are growing strong."
"nice really good to grow your own herbs."
"This container MUST be placed into the cavity upside down, with the solid "bottom" up. I mention it only because SOME people (husband) seem to think that somehow the water will magically reach the plants if you fill this container with water and then set it in the cavity."
"The strawberries didn't grow and the catnip didn't smell at all like catnip and my cats did not like it at all."

Reviews
"The idea behind this lantern is simple, solar powered light wherever you need it. Using advanced technology like magnets, solar panels, and led light this old fashioned looking jar is amazingly high tech."
"Every single person at our 4th of July party shared glowing reviews and wondered where to purchase."
"They arrived in perfect shape and on time, have improved design with a micro-USB port inside for charging when the sun isnt shining. On top of all this, they're made by a local community economic devt project in South Africa, helping out with jobs and skills."
"It is a durable glass jar that has a small solar panel on the jar lid."
"Quality is great, seems to charge well, but I got it to put outside for yard art and it doesn't turn on at dusk."
"The soft light is beautiful as it hits the glass, which is another plus, and the solar powered LED bulbs are so discreet you’d never know they were there. I think this light serves a practical purpose, as well as decorative- great for everything from camping and power outages to outdoor parties and weddings."
"When it arrived, it only took about five seconds to figure how the jar works (you don’t take off the lid), and the results were impressive."
"It's a solar-powered lantern, and in the dead of night it provides an eerie, clear light."

"* After you do the first fill-up of water, top it off the the next day after the growing medium as absorbed all the water it needs. * Reuse a small water bottle to add water over the float as needed. Aside from the nice compact size, one of my favorite features is actually the float that allows you to see if you need to add water."
"I loved the product but the light on mine continually blinks (regardless of whether it is low or full on water)."

Dash Rapid Egg Cooker, Black
Make 6 hard, medium, and soft boiled eggs, individual omelettes, 2 poached eggs and scrambled eggs.
Reviews
"I toss six eggs in with less than a 1/4 cup of water and 14 minutes later the unit shuts off by itself and I come back and easily peel the eggs. And I'm guessing if I forget or run behind I could have these ready while he get dressed for school in the morning!"
"But, since there's no on/off, just plugged in and unplugged, it makes sense they put on something to make sure it can't be left in after the water's steamed out. I followed the direction to the letter, placed the tray squarely in the middle, and got one hard boiled egg and one under done egg. I actually did it twice, and got nowhere. Disappointed at the false advertising (just make it a good egg boiler and don't try to sell us with features that don't work!"
"or "suggest" that we prick each egg with a needle prior to cooking to avoid explosion, all units except for the Chef's Choice Egg Cooker. This unit is marketed with the claim that you should prick or pierce the egg and I decided to test that claim for this and two other machines. While the Cuisinart could do more eggs at once, it didn't cook them as well when we did more so we found that six or seven was as many as we would do in that machine so we were back to each machine cooking the same number of eggs and, once again, that issue of pricking the eggs was our greatest concern. We then pricked the eggs, using a sewing needle (because the little needle cups they send out with some units get lost so easily that they may as well not even send them) and, low and behold, all batches in each machine came out perfect, that is to say, un-cracked and cooked identically. The eggs never seem to come out exactly as the label would suggest and, at least on the machine we tested, the unit had to be set higher in order to cook to the lower level."
"The cooker works fantastically, I make fresh hard "boiled" eggs every single morning during the week and often will do poached eggs or omelets in it on the weekend. If you dont have super fresh eggs and you pierce the top sometimes you get egg white that bubbles out the hole and makes a mess in the cooker."

Reviews
"I purchased my Whistle 3 from Amazon about 3 weeks ago to keep track of my escape artist, and wide roaming, Siberian Husky. I live on a ranch in the mountains of very rural western Colorado where finding a fast traveling dog is virtually impossible without a GPS tracker like the Whistler 3. There are a lot of pet trackers that use Bluetooth, which has a very limited range (100 feet max), or if they use GPS, connect to the cellular network via 2G, which unlike 3G, doesn't have complete US coverage. When your pet is within the range of designated Wi-Fi locations, Whistle switches from GPS to Wi-Fi to save power and battery time. All too often the electronics of gadgets like Whistle are designed by brilliant engineers, but the apps that drive them appear to have been developed by crazed aliens from planet Blx!#}. While at home or other designated Wi-Fi location, the app’s screen shows your pet within a shaded circle indicating the approximate range of the Wi-Fi router. Though I haven’t had a reason to call Whistle’s customer support, I did email them with a question that wasn’t answered in their website’s FAQ’s and received a very understandable response within a few hours and an offer to take care of the issue. There is a subscription charge of about $8 a month, if purchased annually, to cover the cost of cellular service to communicate between the tracking unit and your cell phone."
"I turns out that my bottom floor brick condo is very close to being a dead zone when it comes to data and cellular reception."
"First let me tell you how I use this (and don't use this) so you can judge this review: I live in a fairly remote location and just want to know where my dog goes when he "wanders off" for too long while I'm working and he's out with me. This usually means he's following deer, rabbits, squirrels, etc., that can take him miles away in no time - Urban/suburban dog owners please close your ears & don't hammer me about "irresponsibility" with my pet - it's a different world. Now that all the trees have fully leafed out, the % of time that the app sees his collar is probably 5% - basically useless for me at this location. Again, the totally aggravating thing is still that it tracks my cell phone (a third party piece of hardware) accurately, within seconds, EVERYWHERE I go, ALL the time."
"The strap connecting the tracker to the collar broke within an hour of use."

TubShroom The Revolutionary Tub Drain Protector Hair Catcher/Strainer/Snare, White
It's made of durable, high-quality silicone that should last as long as your bathroom does. We took the idea to the crowdfunding world and the response was overwhelming. We're proud of this little product because we feel it's a clever solution to a real problem out there. It's our baby now and every person that it helps along the way will bring a big old smile to our faces. We've learned so much about the process, about ourselves, and about new ways we can potentially improve the bathroom experience down the road. The unique mushroom-like shape allows for maximum water flow so you can keep on showering. Hair collects neatly inside the drain around the bottom lip--completely out of sight--until you're ready to clean it off. Say good-bye to harmful cleaners, pricey plumbers, and clogged drains forever. TubShroom is so easy to use that all you really need to do is place it inside your shower tub drain. If you've tried other drain protectors or hair strainers already, you know how much room there is for improvement in this space. Our bathtub drain strainer fits any standard tub drain and is guaranteed to catch every hair every time.
Reviews
"Seriously though look at all this dog hair that would have gone down my drain after just one dog bath."
"The advertisement shows hair going down the drain and getting caught in the TubShroom BUT doesn't show hair with hair product, soap, or dirt and oils from your body. Well the hair product and in my case my husbands alternating shower schedule with mine keeps it wet making it a bit harder to "Remove the hair with one effortless move." After cleaning it I rinsed mine off with hot water and a little bit of Dawn dish soap to get off the hair product and all the other grimey stuff off."
"Seriously, I empty this thing every other day (see nastily graphic photo below) and it is always completely gunked up with hair and goo of all types. I was impressed by the sheer amount of hair and other stuff this thing captured. It was easy to install (unscrew the small metal drain covering, gag at the stuff growing on the underside of said covering, pop the TubShroom in the hole)."
"I tried to find the answer to my question before I purchased."
"I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, it appears I won't be having that problem ever again."
"There's only one problem: our cat has decided that it's his, and he insists on pulling it out of the drain, carrying it out of the tub, and batting it all over the house."
"People often describe their life split into ages, from childhood to college, from marriage to the birth of their children, career growth to retirement. I see my life divided into two distinct periods centered on one singular event: the gloomy, pestilent dark ages before TubShroom, and all the glorious, magnificence days thereafter."

Sugru Moldable Glue - Original Formula - Black & White 8-Pack
Color: Black/White. Advanced silicone technology that bonds permanently to almost anything, then sets strong by turning into a durable, tactile silicone rubber overnight.
Reviews
"The GOOD: multiple colors, malleable, turns into a "hard rubber" on curing (not a plastic, still slightly soft, like a basketball), gives you the chance to fix things in the "plastic" world with more than just glue and hope."
"Pros: * Easy to work with. * Strong and long lasting. * Lots of applications. * Comes in various colors. Cons: * Short shelf-life. Depending on how you store it, Sugru will be usable for around 6 months sealed in its package. Many of the suggested uses imply that you can add Sugru to handles and knobs to provide cushioning. That makes is good for some situations (repair a watch band), but not so great for others (cushion the inside of a scissor handle). * Provide cushioning under a glass tabletop (worked very well). * Seal wires of a repaired set of earphones (effective seal, but added considerable weight and stiffness). * Keep an old iPhone USB plug from breaking any further (worked well). * Add rubber feet to a USB hub to prevent slipping (did not provide noticeable grip)."
"First, the positive: I got it mostly as an alternative to electrical tape for repairing charging cables on which my cats have shredded the coating. It was easy to use, and has made a somewhat flexible cover replacing the shredded plastic. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 mostly because the shelf life is short- I got 8 months, but some people have reported 3, and there’s no way to tell until you buy it."
"For smaller projects, 1. the paint on my glasses arms were chipped off, and repeated contact with it caused inflammation on my skin. I covered the glasses arms with a thin layer of Sugru, and it took care of the problem. It was a lot harder than I thought to apply a very thin layer of Sugru on metal though."
