They are large enough to hold large drink tumblers like a Yeti, they will hold a beer with a thick foam koozie, they will hold a giant Fosters can, and yes, it is large enough to hold a bottle of wine. They are made out of metal and seem pretty durable. Each one is two pieces that screw together, and they have a small tab to help you push them into the ground with your feet. The only thing I would improve is to make the foot tab a little larger; otherwise, they have my stars." —Jamawama

Amazon
Promising review: "With three dogs, two small and one large, scooping the yard is a never-ending job. But with the Arm & Hammer swivel bin and rake, there is no more bending to pick up the doggy droppings. I am able to easily use the rake to push the droppings into the bag-covered bin. When I am done cleaning up the yard, I just simply remove the plastic bag from the scoop, tie it off, and dispose. I do spray the rake off with the hose sprayer and then clip the rake onto the scooper for easy storage. I really like this handy scooper. It makes a very icky job much easier to handle." —Kelly Eldred

Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4", and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for thespringand summer. I didn't need anything huge; I have a nice-sized deck, and we spend a lot of time on the deck, so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool, but not too big so it wouldn't take up too much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put under it to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using it on the deck). It has a drain plug, so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." —Majestic 0220

He likes to chew everything, and this one can't pop and doesn't seem like it would puncture easily. 2. The sides kind of fold down if he was slowly getting in, but then I could easily reform it. 3. Super easy setup and cleanup. Now I don't have to have a huge ugly plastic pool propped up on the side of my house." —LBella

Promising review: "We live in the woods on a lake in Bluegrass Country in Kentucky. The bugs were ridiculous when we first moved here! I bought one of these lastspringas a test and was so impressed I purchased two more. They absolutely crush the flying insect population in short order!This spring, we have noticed a huge decrease in bugs, which we suspect is due to the significant depopulation of the breeders last summer. We leave ours on all year round, and some are zapped even in the dead of winter, but during thespringand summer? My gosh! We have to use a leaf blower to clean up under the units nearly every day! Even our nearest neighbor (about 200 feet away) says they've noticed a big fall off in bugs in their yard since we put up our units." —Paul

Pretty easy to put together. My husband got it all assembled in less than an hour and then proceeded to open up a beer and fall asleep in it next to the pool.

18. A 4-in-1 inflatable pool floatyou can use as a hammock, a chair, an exercise saddle, or just a regular floatie. Don't be surprised if you spend the foreseeable future floating on this in your pool with a cocktail in hand.
Promising review: "Got this on a whim after reading some reviews. I didn't expect it to become the fam's new favorite immediately!Lay back, and you are half in, half out of the water, so you aren't baking from above or freezing below — just what we wanted.It holds your head well out of the water and feels very supportive/stable. I've had it for about a month now and only had to blow it up the first time; the plastic is fairly thick and doesn't lose air through seams or the nozzle. We have a full-body foam float that costs about $120, and it never gets used anymore.Everybody takes turns on this one. Great deal for the price; I just bought three more of various colors. Go ahead and try it." —DIY Guy

Promising review: "My pool is so old school and boring that I bought these to liven it up, and what a difference!! My pool went from 'meh' to WOW! The balls are easily inflated by mouth like a beach ball. Once inflated, a few hours in the sun, they are charged and ready to go. They light up after dusk ( it has to be rather dark). There is no manual way to power them on or off; they glow all night long. The changing colors are vibrant and very beautiful. They have a loop at the top if you would like to hang them. They would be magical hanging in a tree or from a pergola. I really liked how easy these were to fill and charge, and I like the solar power and the amazing color display. They make my inner child happy." —J. Matheson

I placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge, to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying, and no flies/maggots!No apparent odor. It just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.)" —Michael E. Bradley

23. Some vented wine coversso you don't have to be constantly swatting bugs away from your Sauvignon Blanc. These still allow the wine to breathe, and one reviewer even says they act as good drink identifiers!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My husband and I love to enjoy a glass of wine on our back porch at the end of the day. Unfortunately, so do the bugs. These tops work wonderfully. The silicone outside kind of sticks to the glass to keep them in place, and the metal mesh part lets the wine breathe but keeps the critters out. The only better thing would be if they had some kind of sippy spot where you wouldn't have to remove them to drink the wine, but I'm not sure how that would work anyway. I'd buy these again, and probably will if we lose any of them." —DKF

Not hard to put together: all pieces were included and the instructions were easy. Can’t wait to sit outside with a cup of coffee and watch the cars drive by." —DEBBIE JACKSON

We will be purchasing more." —susan osako

27. An umbrella lightso you and the besties can still enjoy the outdoors even when it's way past sunset. This easily attaches to the pole of the umbrella and has three brightness modes to choose from.
Promising review: "When I bought this, it was totally on a whim. I was convinced that because it was so inexpensive, it would be a cheap piece of junk! Was I wrong! It does a great job of lighting up the table with the three different settings.And if you turn it upside-down, you can further vary the brightness. (Sometimes, you just want a hint of a glow rather than a spotlight on your face.)I'm very happy with this, especially since I left it out all summer long with no issues. It was hidden under a closed umbrella, but I'm sure it got a little damp with rainwater, and it survived! For just $10, it is such an easy solution for my patio that has no electricity, and therefore, needs something battery powered." —LouiseN

We hang out together outside, and I don't worry about bugs/ants from the ground getting to him; he loves to lie on the hammock, as I call it, and he looks like a king! The other great part was it took NO TOOLS, and I had it together in under 15 minutes (and I'm not the savviest)." —Mary

29. Ahardwood oil treatmentthat not only gets your wood fence, deck, or railings looking shiny and new but also adds a protective coating to help prevent weather damage and regular wear and tear.
Promising review: "I applied this product on an uncovered deck, which takes a beating from the sun and rain in the summertime and snow sits on the deck in the wintertime. I've tried several other wood sealers but nothing we have used holds up as well as this product. When it rains you can watch the water bead up and run off so you know that this product is working. I apply this product every summer to my deck to keep it in top shape. I also apply this sealer to the wooden floor of our covered porch and the boards shine like brand new. Probably would not have to apply every year to the covered floor area but I do." —Bubba

Popped it into my hot tub, and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" —Mickey D.

Promising review: "I bought this pool cleaner as a quick desperation fix as my $500 pool cleaner died, leaving a green swamp! Talk about easy assembly! Twenty minutes later, it was zipping up the pool, including the walls!I couldn’t believe it; the suction power was incredible! My green pool was crystal clear! What I thought was a short-term fix and a great value for the money is now my go-to pool cleaner. I recommend this for all in-ground pools. It’s a gem! Worth every penny, and it will save you hundreds over expensive cleaners, but more to the point, it works great!" —Steve from Tucson
