stacyk9 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I need a new Christmas tree this year and I was thinking about getting the kind that has the electricity built into the pole. Anyone have experience with this? Wondering if it's as good as it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopeep Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I love it. My last tree was pre-lit, but I had to search for the ends of the light strands to plug the sections of tree in to each other. I put hunter's orange tape on them, and STILL managed to miss at least one connection more often than not. That was the only thing I didn't like about having a pre-lit tree. With the power running through the pole (however THAT works), I don't have to worry about it. Put the tree together, plug in one chord, and voi-la - lights! lol.

HanShotFirst Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Love mine too! It’s so easy. The only thing I have to worry about is plugging in my tree topper. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 One of the ones we have (YES we put up more than 1 tree, maybe 4 in total) has the power cords attached to it and you just connect them and then plug the lights into those segments. VERY handy when putting it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusluvu Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The one I got from Home Depot last year does and I love it. Quick set up and take down. Go for it you can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGATIVEYa my wife and I were talking the other night about Balsam Hill trees. Very nice looking but the one we liked was $1700. NO WAY. Even though we leave one up all year round and it get's decorated in different theme's it's not worth that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doresia Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Wait till BF got my expensive tree for $89. I will never pay 500 for a tree thats only used for a month. NEGATIVEI agree, that is way too much money for a Christmas tree. With that being said...... If I had an extra 500 or 600 (never gonna happen) it would be tempting. It takes a long time to put up and decorate my tree. I love it when its done though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to have some bells and whistles literally. I have to Google it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to Google it now.They look very nice, very realistic. The higher end ones have all the lights built in. They are like the very high end of artificial trees but that's a LOT of money in my eyes. Maybe one year once I'm rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
