Kong Tunnel
Interactive Kong Tunnel for Cats
by elzora
Pros: My cat loves it, easy to move around, folds flat
Cons: VERY over priced

Krylon Dual Paint and Primer in One, Satin
Krylon Indoor-Outdoor Satin Paint
by elzora
Pros: Gives a nice smooth coat, with no drip marks or uneven textures
Cons: Not a true satin finish in my opinion
This Krylon paint is really a "Dual Paint" in two aspects.  It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use, and it is a primer and paint in one.  It was used to paint a large wooden plaque, and it did a fairly good ...

What's Your Sleep Number? Sleep Number p5 Bed

Pros: Determine your own comfort level

Individualized comfort with DualAir Technology

Wireless remote controls
Cons: The bed may take a while to get used to
It was about time I began searching for a new mattress.  I had previously looked at the Sleep Number beds, but thought they were way beyond my budget. When I found out they had a 24 month interest free finance plan, I took the plunge ...

Cons: Burns out quickly, cannot handle 100Ws.

HARTZ MOUNTAIN #032700995690 Tug Of Fun Dog Toy
You can't handle the tooth! Yes, you, Hartz At Play Tug Of Fun Dog Toy.
by PattyTherre
Pros: May be good for less energetic dogs, was fun while it lasted
Cons: Molly chewed up the rubber heart and the string was fraying after just one day.
The Hartz At Play Tug Of Fun Dog Toy is not worth a cent. I bought one for my 7 month old Yorkie/Dachshund mix to play with and she tore it up and ate the rubber parts within a few hours. The rope shredded and I had to ...

JW Pet Darwin the Frog - Medium
Medium Darwin - Won't Predict The Future While Surviving Canine Carnage

Pros: Remains Bulldog-proof after fourteen months. Squeaker survives. A good value. Neon-green visibility.
Cons: Squeaker survives. A shrieking safety hazard underfoot at 3:00 am.
The quest for a dog toy that will withstand Rover's wrath is the pet parent's holy grail. The Strapping Yankers line of fish, snakes and mailmen has proven durable, while the cuddly, off-brand stuffed pheasant lost its honker and virtually ...

Pros: accurate enough for rough work, short enough to use where a real level's too long
Cons: accuracy just so-so, cheaply made
If people have beater cars they drive in bad weather or to places like the airport (the parking lot better known as Door-dingville), then it makes sense to keep around tools that you don’t mind seeing abused and misused. For instance, the Tekton ...
