			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Remington 17&#8243;, 3 Amp Extended Reach Electric Hedge Trimmer may not be the tool you are looking for when it comes to cutting and pruning your hedges. With many reports of the internal cam mechanism skipping, the blade jumping off of the cam, nuts and bolts not being able to be tightened after removing them, broken locking pins, cracked plastic housings and a lot more. </p>
<p>Users are also complaining and berating the product for it&#8217;s ineptness of being able to remotely cut the specified diameter branches and twigs that the trimmer is stated to be able to handle.</p>
<p>This berated product is on high-alert for future purchasers to fully read, review and investigate the product before making a purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I hear myself saying the same thing year after year, but then forget myself and caught up with the excitement again and again.</p>
<p>So there are 3 million winners supposedly in the latest release, which of course is mostly food prizes, which hey, I can deal with that.</p>
<p>Problem is the food that you buy is starting to get more expensive and the actual products that come with the game pieces on them are getting rarer. I remember back when almost everything had a game piece on it&#8230;</p>
<p>At any rate, my main Berate with the whole Mcdonalds Monopoly game pieces is something that I used to assume, but now know&#8230;which is how you always seem to win more in the first week of release than at any other time.</p>
<p>I finally got to document it this time around and between my wife and I, we won 7 different food products in the first week. The 2nd week we only won twice, and have not won since. We have not changed our food choices or the amounts we frequent the joint.</p>
<p>Once again we got excited, only to get knocked down again this year. I simply believe that someone, somewhere does know where the winners are, and how they are released.</p>
<p>For this reason I Berate them</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for a reasonable priced chainsaw to do yard work (branch trimming, small tree falling and lumber cutting) you would think this mid-sized chainsaw would be the perfect right?</p>
<p>Well, according to the one I bought at the local Home Depot, it just is not what I was looking for.</p>
<p>Call it bad luck, being a cheapskate or whatever you want, I bought this to do some small odd-jobs around the yard, and was ready to wrap it around the tress and try to take them down that way.</p>
<p>After struggling for 45 minutes to even get it started, it finally did fire up and cut decently for about 10 minutes before it overheated! WTF? I had to leave it sit for half an hour and try to fire it up again. This thing is just too hard to start.</p>
<p>I went thru this routine for the next few hours until finally the spring in the recoil cord must have broke and the cord would not retract!</p>
<p>JesusBoom, this is all I wanted to deal with here. Packed it back up and took it back to the store, and went off to the local rental place and got one for $40 for 2 days which was all I really initially needed it for.</p>
<p>This saw is hardly recommended. I could not imagine an older person trying to start this, or anyone with any kind joint problems. Better stick with their electric version instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently bought the Tile Solutions Tile Cutter at Lowes to do a mid sized kitchen job. Approximately 225 square feet worth of 12&#8243; ceramic floor tiles. The tiles were expensive so I was hoping to save a few bucks on a tile cutter because there were not a bunch of tiles that needed cut. I think I counted 14 of them.</p>
<p>The tiles I got were 12&#8243; square and 1/2&#8243; thick, and the specs on the tile cutter were that it is supposed to handle 13&#8243; tiles up to 5/8&#8243; thick. Should be fine right? Wrong!</p>
<p>No word of a lie, after trying to cut the 2nd tile the sonsabitching handle snapped right off! Man was I steamed. I even tried to jury-rig it by putting a vice grip pliers on it and using it for a handle. This worked for a pc or 2 but my hand was ready to fall off.</p>
<p>Funny thing is the directions say you are only to score the tile one time&#8230;well I had to do it 3 times to get a worthy score to even break these tiles.</p>
<p>The official Berate.com rating on this product is very low. I took it back and got the Tile Solutions 17&#8243; Tile Cutter which is twice the price, but worked like a charm. Don&#8217;t waste your time messing with the dinky 13&#8243; cutter unless you are cutting very thin tiles. It is well worth the money upgrading to the better tool.</p>
