A Favorite Trimmer
by admin on Jul.16, 2011, under Favorites
Due to abnormal heat levels and very little rain, I find there is less lawn mowing required this year and a lot more trimming instead. You can’t ask much more from a Trimmer (and this one even edges) than this…
This Rechargeable Yard Trimmer cut through 200′ sq. of weeds, tall grass, and saplings in only five minutes, unlike lesser models that managed to trim only 105′ sq. The model’s battery ran 65% longer than a competing trimmer and recharged in three hours, unlike lesser models that required up to five hours to recharge. When the trimmer line breaks, it automatically extends the correct length of line to ensure uninterrupted trimming, and simply tilting the head and folding down the integrated wheels convert the device into an edger.
The 5 3/4-lb. trimmer weighs half as much as gas models, its head tilts up to 90ยบ to cut hard-to-reach areas under swing sets or lawn furniture, and a metal guard keeps flowers and plants from getting cut.
You just can’t beat lightweight and cordless when it comes to this task…
A fantastic electric lawnmower
by admin on Aug.18, 2010, under Favorites
After 7 years of hard use – including a LOT of mulching, it is time to retire my current electric lawnmower.
The good news is, I’m buying the same model again – this Black & Decker 18″ Electric Lawnmower.
I’ve considered other brands and models, and have considered battery-powered options as well. But, there is no use messing with success. I have the power cords I need to reach 95% of my yard and this little mower does a quiet and excellent job of keeping things neat and trimmed.
Anyone looking for a solid and relatively quiet way to manage their lawn mowing task may want to give this machine a good look.
