Free: Cordless Drill (Glebe / Dow's Lake) Gifted - Works, and has a case and one battery, but the battery life may be VERY short. PowerFist brand. (Princess Auto) It came with two batteries but the other one failed completely so I recycled it. This one still works but nowhere close to as-new.

Free: Automatic Cat Litter Box (Glebe / Dow's Lake) Gifted - This one is new and clean, it was a warranty replacement. Takes D cell batteries. Although I have had a few of these, I have to say, they aren't as great as they could be. But they work. Free, but low expectations recommended.

Free: Paper Shredder, needs love (Glebe / Dow's Lake) Expired - So this is a great paper shredder when it works. Very strong. Except sometimes, I can hear gears slipping inside. So I open it up, tighten it all up, and swear that I've fixed it for real this time. Then it comes back. Probably fixable and worth it.

Free: Dehumidifer (Glebe / Dow's Lake) Gifted - I used this personally, but the fan inside died while the compressor was still fine. I then acquired a good used fan (see pics) to fix it. Then plans changed. So if you are capable of putting the fan in, it should be fine. I am not sure if this is the exactly correct fan, but they are simple inside and you should be able to make it work.

Free: Home Lamp (Glebe / Dow's Lake) Gifted - Cute "home" lamp. Note: A section of the power cord has turned black. It seems safe to me as it isn't degrading, it just went from clear to black. My guess is that it was over a baseboard heater for years and the plastic changed a bit.

Free: iPhone car charger FM Modulator (Glebe / Dow's Lake) Gifted - This device plugs into your car cigarette lighter port, and it holds and charges your iPhone. Has a Lightning plug, and adjusts to fit whatever iPhone model you have. It also has a 1/8" plug and a built in FM modulator to play music through your car radio, BUT since only older iPhones still have the headphone jack, this isn't that useful anymore.
