REVIEW: Video Librarian
Chef Tom Small is a soft-spoken, practical teacher (no gimmicks or catchphrases) who here offers effective step-by-step demonstrations of recipes that require no exotic ingredients or difficult techniques. A native Californian who's currently executive chef at a restaurant outside Seattle, Small prepares five antipasti (appetizers), two pasta dishes served as first courses, two entrees, and two desserts in a home-kitchen setting.

Recipes include giardiniera (vegetables pickled in water and vinegar), a beet salad, a mussel salad with olives and oranges, butternut squash lasagna, chicken with lemons and roasted vegetables, pork tenderloin with garlic and sage, flourless chocolate cake, and caramel apple bread pudding. Small also demonstrates simple tips for efficiently chopping vegetables, peeling fruits, and cutting up a whole chicken. Individual recipes may be selected from a menu, and ingredients are listed onscreen (as well as on a text paper insert). The other titles in the Dare to Cook-Seasonal Italian Cuisine series are Spring, Summer, and Fall. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (M. Puffer-Rothenberg) 3.5 of 4 star rating

REVIEW: Library Journal
Dare To Cook, Seasonal Italian Cuisine with Chef Tom Small. Washington State... based chef Tom Small has all the right ingredients to be an outstanding cooking coach: a graceful way of moving about in limited space and using standard equipment; mellow, unhurried speech; and a creative use of ingredients. He here prepares inspired Italian dishes in what looks like his home kitchen and on his outdoor deck. He is a chef who knows what he is doing and can convey it to others in an easy fashion.

Each disc includes a variety of creative recipes for appetizers and salads, entrees, desserts, and drinks appropriate to the featured season as well as a demonstration of special skills. For example, on Summer, he shows how to debone a whole chicken; on Fall, how to make sausage without special equipment. From first to last, this reviewer... a dedicated amateur... wanted to go right to her kitchen to prepare some of his dishes and felt certain she could do so with only one more viewing. Small is a serious, straightforward, and knowledgeable professional and a splendid teacher. This series is highly recommended for academic cooking classes, high school and above, and for public library patrons wanting to expand their kitchen repertoire.... Sheila S. Intner, Prof. Emerita, Simmons GSLIS at Mount Holyoke Coll., So. Hadley, MA DTC01

Weak battery base on saw module.
Style: 4.0ah Battery Included
Probably would work for light duty. I used this thing less than 8 hours (less than a single day of work) and the saw broke at the base that it connects to the extension pole. The motor on the saw itself seemed powerful enough. It got hung up in a branch and then broke on one side of the battery slide in (which was connected to the pole extension, as per the saw's design) Probably buy a more durable one if you're really planning on doing some work with it. Bet it was made for city people.

Convenient and powerful
Style: 4.0ah Battery Included
This 2-in-1 electric pole saw works great for trimming tall branches without needing a ladder. The 14.5 ft extension reach makes it easy to cut high branches safely from the ground. It has strong cutting power, and the 10-inch chainsaw blade handles thicker branches well. The compatible Dewalt 20V battery and included 4.0Ah battery provide good runtime. Overall, it’s a convenient and powerful tool for yard pruning and tree maintenance. 🌳

Amazing Pole Saw! Look no further!
Style: 4.0ah Battery Included
My DeWalt pole saw broke (after 2 years of occasional use) so I bought this one. I wasn't expecting much. To my surprise, this new off-brand pole saw is awesome! It's well built. You can use the saw without the pole (which you can't do with DeWalt). It has a battery indicator LED screen on the top of the saw. DeWalt doesn't. It comes with a battery that can charge two different ways. You can use a DeWalt charger or you can plug the charger that comes with it into the top of the unit. The saw comes fully assembled except for the handle. The bar and chain are all ready setup and dialed in (an industry first)! It came with everything needed to operate except for the chain oil. Even came with a screw driver to put the handle on. The chain that comes with it isnt great but it cuts. It actually cut extremely well but dulled after about an hour of nonstop use. Most importantly, it cuts just as good as my DeWalt pole saw. Dead serious. This is an awesome saw. Comparable to DeWalt. Buy one before they sell out and you can't find em anymore. I had a hard time finding this saw on Amazon. I saw a review for it on YouTube and had to use the affiliate link to find it. There were a ton of other pole saws that looked almost identical. I can't speak to them - but this one is a no-brainer. An absolute steal at the price! I don't work in tree service any more and wouldn't use it if I did, but I am a contractor and from time to time I need a pole saw and this one fits the bill. This isn't a sponsored review. I used my own money to buy it and I'm not affiliated with the company in any way.
