Weber 9800 Hansen Gas-Mate II, for Propane Gas Tanks Review

For reference, "old tanks" will refer in this review to Weber "quick connect tanks."

First about the price:I got this at Home Depot for $16.95 because I needed to grill in a hurry.If you do not have an OPD tank for your Weber grill and can see yourself in the future refilling, and you would receive it in time before you run out, then I would recommend getting it on Amazon for the lesser price but can afford shipping time.

If you have an older Weber grill and wanted the tank to be refilled, then you probably understand the frustration that I had to go through to get more propane.Federal Law has mandated that all tanks now be "OPD" certified.Now, on these OPD tanks, which can be detected by the "star" shape of the handle, has a different opening where the hose on your grill needs to be connected as compared to the older model.So when I went to have it refilled, they told me that they could no longer refill my old model.So I bought a Blue Rhino.Then, I could not connect it to my Weber grill because of the different opening.(The propane hose would not adapt to the tank.)So I now had three options.One was buy a new grill, which would be quite expensive.Second, which Weber recommended, probably because it would cost me more money, would be buying a new hose.(They said it was around $40.And I have also heard that it has a problem with squirrels eating it.) And third was this adapter that I found.Thus, this adapter was the answer for the price.Connect the thread side of the adapter and your hose to the other side of the adapter (This is the "spring side" or "quick connect" side where to release the hose from the adapter, you must just pull back on the end part of the adapter.)

A picture of the adapter with the the new tank and old hose can be found here:

I also have some advice on using the product to which I hope you may find useful.(The installation instructions were quite weak with the product.) When installing, there is a black plastic piece which is used to screw in the adapter to the part.Be careful when using your crescent wrench not to break off the part.If you break the plastic piece, you probably will be unable to take off the adapter from the tank in the future.Therefore, I would also recommend placing the piece in a safe place so when you need to refill, it will be handy to take off the adapter.However, if you lose the piece, or break it, there is one more way to have it refilled.There is an adapter which was placed on the old tanks for refilling.And since this product basically converts your new tank into the old one, then you can place this refilling adapter on the product.I know it can be confusing in words, but basically what I am saying is that you will have adapter on adapter when refilling the tank.Your refill store will most likely have this second adapter for you when you go in to refill.(I get mine a Pool-Mart and they usually have this handy.)But just to be on the safe side, I would keep that plastic piece.But back to installation:When you finished screwing it in, just connect your hose to the other side by pulling back on the only part of the adapter that moves, and once you push the hose end into the adapter, push back up the only part of the adapter that moves to lock the hose in place.And to remove the hose, simply pull back on the sliding adapter piece - the only part that moves.But most likely you didn't need that as you have refilled your old grill sometime in the last several years.But just in case you may have needed it.

And on performance, there are no leaks, as shown with the soap and water test.Just pure gas grilling is all I have now until another law is passed.But until then, I recommend two things:First is buying this adapter, and second is using common sense to install it, not the instructions.Happy grilling, and thanks for reading!

Pacific Coast Feather Bed - Baffle Box Review

Like the pillows I bought, I wanted to recreate my Marriott experience at home, so I also purchased this feather bed (from their Hotel Collection line).And, like the pillows, it's not the same as in the hotel, even though I checked the tags and 99% sure I got as close as I could get.Feathers are coming out everywhere and sticking me despite their claim that the barrier weave prevents it and it's just not as fluffy as the one in the Marriott.I'm sure I could find a much cheaper one that's just as good, so recommend you keep shopping!

SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch Sewing Machine Review

SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After considerable research, we decided to get this sewing machine for our 9-year old daughter.We feel this is the best low-cost sewing machine for the money.Although many of the components are plastic, the machine is sturdy and well made.It includes a foot-pedal, does not require batteries, and closely resembles the basic features and shape of a traditional $100+ sewing machine.I only give this item four stars because there is no light.

After helping our daughter select the proper thread and tension adjustment, she has made several hats, skirts, and so on.We have also found that no matter how cheap or expensive a sewing machine is, there are going to be problems if it is your first time at sewing.Many people don't realize that there is a fair amount of knowledge and skill required to make ANY sewing machine stitch properly.If you can't get your sewing machine to stitch properly it is most likely tension setting, thread selection, etc..

Hope this helps !

Ott - Lite Truecolor Floor Lamp Review

Ott - Lite Truecolor Floor Lamp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The light is very good BUT...
I replaced the lamp after about 3 years with one from Sylvania (Do It Center in SoCal have it) - just as good, much cheaper.
Also, the two parts of the tube stem thread on to an internal ferrule - probably aluminum.This ferrule takes a lot of the stress when the lamp is moved, twisted etc other than by the flexible head. Having wrapped the joint in duct tape to help relieve some stress, I bought another year or so of life.The ferrule or tube thread is now stripped on the top half and to replace it would mean complete disassembly beyond the 'knock down' it arrived as, since the cable runs through the ferrule and tubes.
I may try a 1" hose clamp to buy a bit more time before junking it...
