Toro Electric Leaf Blower Offers Great Power While Being Lightweight
April 4th, 2018
Fall is perhaps the most beautiful season in cities and towns across America. Each year millions of trees’ leaves turn from green to a beautiful combination of brown, orange, and red before eventually falling from the trees. The color combination draws residents outside to enjoy breathtaking views and cool fall breezes. However, the leaves never remain on the trees and inevitably end up spread across your lawn. Now the backbreaking task of raking and bagging all those leaves must begin, but it can be made easier with the electric leaf blower. The electric blower from Toro packs good power in a lightweight package.
It is perfect for clearing leaves and other debris from yards, driveways, and sidewalks. A 2-speed motor provides air flows that can reach up to 160 mph, making it quick and easy to clear debris from your property. Other models available on the market are more expensive than this Toro model, but they also offer other features that this Toro electric leaf blower does not. Most notable among the competition are dual purpose models that blow leaves and switch to suction for easy bagging. Other models also feature greater power. The majority of online reviewers who used the Toro 51585 Power Sweep 7 amp 2-Speed Electric Blower were happy with their purchase, but not everyone was impressed. A small minority noted poor construction and plastic parts that failed after a few uses. Others felt this model was slightly under-powered for their needs. A power leaf blower can be a great time saver when it comes to picking up the beautiful leaves of fall once they have fallen to the ground. However, individuals should carefully consider the scale of the task in front of them. Larger jobs may require a blower that is more powerful than this model.

December 2nd, 2017
Every homeowner knows the back breaking labor that is involved in owning a home. For those with large yards, or any yard, the task of mowing the lawn is an all too familiar pain in the rear. Everyone wants a nice looking home, but maintaining the yard yourself can be a time consuming pain. Imagine if there were a lawn mower that could do all the work for you with the push of a button. Think it is impossible? Think again! The RoboMower robotic lawn mower is here to save you from another summer of sweating while you push your gas mower around the yard. The RoboMower is a electric lawn mower that is capable of mowing up to 10,800 square feet on a single 24 charge.
The mower has on-board sensors to help avoid obstacles and stays within a predetermined range established by a guideline that comes included with the mower. All you need to do is charge the mower, set up the guides, and press “go”. For those with children around the home, there is no need to worry because the unit comes with a child safety lock to prevent accidents. There are a handful of other robotic lawn mowers available on the market, but many of them cost two times the amount of the RoboMower. The major difference between available robotic mowers is the amount of space they are designed to mow on one charge. While many online reviewers were pleased with this robotic mower, a large number of users found the unit to be unreliable. The biggest complaint from reviewers was the high cost of maintaining their mower as sensors and other expensive equipment did not last long.
