Nelson 2 in 1 Pre-Set Water Timer 56606 and 56607 Useless Warranty


Update:  I first reviewed the 56606 and after two years it died.  In 2016 I got two more of the 56607 model and one of them died in 6 months.  I have tried to get warranty support to no avail. 

I would strongly AGAINST advise buying one of these timers due to the companies dis-interest in customer support. 

I like my flowers but sometimes when I travel they are neglected.  I hate to bug the neighbor kid or one of my own grown kids to come and water my flowers.   I found this on Amazon and it did the trick. 


From the Amazon product description. 
  • 18 pre-set watering selections plus auto on/off
  • Digital LCD time display
  • Superior ease of use, no programming required
  • Metal ergo swivel coupling
  • Reliable diaphragm design for long battery life, requires 2 AA batteries(not included)
I am never sure how many stars to give a product. This time did exactly what I wanted. It was easy to bypass when I needed the hose and it kept my plants hydrated when I was out of town. It does not feel beefy so I treated it with care and it did exactly what I wanted. I recommend the product.  It was $24.99 at Amazon.
 


Flowers survived travel and grandchildren (no timer needed for kid)

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
