Has anyone ever used the Gardman R623 Jumbo pop-up garden tidy? If so, how do you compare the quality?

I think the quality is quite good. I had a different brand before that I had gotten at Costco. I think this one seems of better quality. I've only had it for a few months but so far it is holding up quite well and has a nice large capacity. It also has holes in the bottom for drainage which is also helpful to keep things from rotting if you don't empty it right away. It also folds back down for easier storage. Nice and lightweight. Great for yard clean-up. I hope this was helpful!

It is good quality, but for me, was smaller than I was looking for since I wanted them for picking up leaves. It collapses easily and pops back up when you need it.

Yes, this kit works well provided gutters are not packed with dirt and clutter from prior year. (I personally hand cleaned gutters first time due to excessive packing of years of buildup and thereafter every week with gutter kit). The only complaint I have is the manifold (elbow) that inserts into leaf blower (Poulan/Weed Eater brand only) will pop out if not completely inserted into outlet and clamped tightly and even then can work loose if too much pressure is applied to tube extension. Definitely saves hours of time over climbing a ladder every week!

That's a tough one. Mine is set on dirt, but I don't think it needs to be to function properly. I do like mine. It was easy to put together and has produced some nice compost for my garden. Good luck.

I have used it half a dozen times. Mostly in an above ground garden that is soft dirt. I did use it to clear our about 200 square feet of grass to lay mulch. It did it like a champ. It does clog up around the tines quickly if there is a lot of root being tilled. I love it for the purpose it serves me.

I can't really say, since my boyfriend replaced it for me. He replace my old Waste King 191 with this new Waste King 191. All I do know for sure is that it only took like 20 minutes and he said it was very easy.

I really like mine. I've use it every time I do laundry and its gotten bumped around a bit in the garage. Still like new. I expect it will last a long time.

The Sterilite baskets are garbage. The handles broke off of ours within a few months. I have a Rubbermaid 2978 laundry basket that is in PERFECT shape after 15 years of use, but they are discontinued. :(

I have the BV6600. It is soo easy to empty after you vacuum due to the slip bar. Its power is controlled by a dial enabling the user to pick up light objects only on low. On high it can pick up and shred small branches and seed pods.

I dont have one, but am researching them.This looks to be different, the Nesco Gardenmaster, comes with 4 trays, but the important difference is the element is on the top.This one appears to be on the bottom, which is less desirable in my opinion because the elements get dripped on.

Disclaimer: I'm no pro at this! That said, I've had mine two months and am happy with my decision. I usually prefer high quality over plastic, but my philosophy going into a product like this was that it's almost one of those semi-disposable items. While I have the best of intentions (bought the cleaner, and try to maintain it as I should), I figured I'd probably eventually end up gumming up the inside or some other stupidity on my part before I wore it out. I suppose the Great Stuff gun might fare better if you were to drop it or something like that, but at half the price this one seems like a pretty good bargain to me.

I would have to agree. My most recent project was a very small end table with one shelf below the top of the table and I used the entire container of Formby's by squeezing every bit out of my rags. Very messy. The project previous to this one, was an antique treadle sewing machine with lots of drawers and I used the same amount of Formby's. Not so messy and I think the old crude lifted much better and left the wood cleaner and smoother.

Do not spend a penny, unless you really want to. I save the plastic netting from fruits and vegetables, then tie off the bags, one inside another. This costs nothing but the few minutes it takes to make (which is less than the time it would take me to find something in a store). My homemade net scrubber cleans better than anything else I have tried, including the commercial net scrubbers. Moreover, as compared to the commercial net scrubbers, it rinses and drains better (without trapping food), lasts longer, and "recycles" what was otherwise trash. If an outer layer starts to wear through, I just add more, and it keeps getting better and better! Do not spend a penny, unless you really want to.

I think for light chores should be ok, the one I used on was St Augustine grass, front lawn and side lawn, a corner lot house, the machine was easy to move around, not heavy duty but did the work, but the tines worn out too fast. If you return the machine, postage would be around $40.00 if I remember correctly, because the box was big and heavy. Maybe to spray or brush with some killer or hot water or steam may help with the situation?

I actually wasn't aware of cheaper alternatives at the time of my purchase. I can tell you that the Spoonk combo that I purchased has held up to repeated daily use, standing on it, being thrown around in my trunk, and smashed between furniture during a move. I love it. The spikes haven't shown any signs of dulling. I'm not sure how durable the other cheaper models may be.

Dear Doris, the squeezing is easy and fast, the cleaning is no problem and the design is marvellous. 20 years ago I would have surely recommended it. Nowadays you should look for better quality. Do yourself a favour. Don't buy it.

I must have the 1089 which is collapsible (mine is collapsible). I would not want to collapse as too much trouble to put back together. I'm rather disappointed as I don't think the quality is as good as much older versions as I had some time ago. As Howard Burch stated, mine has on two occasions let the critters escape, the lock mechanism failed one time and another time it was tripped and nothing it it.
