Very realistic trees
So far, I installed about 2,000 of these trees in my 13' x 15' mountainous N scale layout. The realism when photographed even close up, is excellent. When the larger trees have exposed, showing trunks, they seem a bit too thin. Easy to fix, by dipping them in quick-set plaster several times, then texturing and painting. Important to mix as many height varieties as possible, then install a wide variety of underbrush and ground cover for maximum realism.

Weak suction but Ultra loud
2 of 2 found this helpful I bought the Dirt Devil Ultra to vacuum places difficult to reach with the crevice tool on the hose of our upright, but it does not do the job. Here is why:
1. The vacuum suction is pitifully weak, but the motor makes an Ultra ear-piercing noise.
2. The dirt collection bag is tiny and not designed to be re-used - yet, the unit came with no spares. Replacements cost about $4 each!
3. Removing/replacing the cloth cover so one can change the dust bag is unreasonably difficult.
4. It has no shoulder harness, so one hand is always tied up just holding it (precluding using it to move things so one can clean beside/behind them).
5. Switching from rotating brush to hose suction is difficult. Much of the precious little vacuum is lost in the over-sized, cumbersome "valve" that has no air-seal.
6. The power cord is only 20 ft. instead of the 25 ft. on my upright - necessitating the use of an extension chord.
Otherwise, it's a nice looking, mostly plastic gadget that is of little or no practical use to me.

Great Pill Crusher
1 of 1 found this helpful The rough surface at the bottom of the mortar holds pills in place while the pestle crushes them.
Easy to keep clean by just rinsing with hot water and wiping dry.
Simple, sanitary, elegant solution for crushing hard-to-swallow pills.
