Gator SpeedLoad
What's to love: It's a fast and easy way to reload string trimmer line.
What does it do: Designed for gas-powered string trimmers, the simple system has only two parts: the disk cartridge and the trimmer head. Once you've changed the trimmer head on your weed whacker (there are three sizes available to fit most trimmers) just pop the disk into place whenever you need to replace trimmer line -- no more winding line onto the trimmer. While it is simple to do there are instructional videos on using the system on the company website, gatorspeedload.com. Trimmer heads come with the first disk of string and sell from $29.99 to $49.99. Three-packs of replacement disks are priced from $5.99 to $11.99.
Kodak Video Monitor CFH-V20
What's to love: The video monitor has a 180-degree horizontal field of view, allowing for a wide-angle view of a room.
What does it do: Once the free app is downloaded, the monitor, using the home's Wi-Fi, can be used to check on the home, on kids, etc., with high-definition streaming video. It is capable of night vision and two-way audio, and can also record when it detects motion and stores video clips in the cloud (with data storage on the company's servers). While it comes with one-day storage, plans are available to buy longer cloud storage. It sells for $149 and comes with a power adapter and mounting kit.
