Eleven years ago, this was my stable of lawn mowers: The Husky gasser on the right has since been gifted to one of my friend's adult sons, the little WORX on the left was gifted to my next door neighbor for his five year old son so that he could help daddy mow the lawn, the silver 90+ pound...

For the first time someone has offered a cordless electric pressure washer with performance to rival the corded electric models. In fact this new model from Greenworks has the same performance specifications as its top of the line corded electric model with a maximum pressure of 3000 psi and a...

So you thought cordless electric chainsaws were just toys ?

Ryobi is jumping on the lithium-ion battery ZTR riding mower bandwagon with 30", 42" and 54" cut models. They all use an innovative single joystick control that they call iDrive instead of the traditional lap bars. Although they use a proprietary 80 volt suitcase battery, they can also use their...

Until now this style of edger could only be found in gas or corded electric models. Anyone who's used a cordless electric stick edger knows how fatiguing it is to hold up the handle with the added weight of the battery. Then, there's the constant wear on the blade as it contacts the concrete...

The CFM wars continue and EGO is again king of the hill with its latest 765 CFM handheld blower. Previously, their most powerful blower produced 650 CFM, but they were overtaken by a 700 CFM model from Greenworks. The new EGO blower generates a maximum velocity of 195 MPH and a maximum blowing...

There have been hints for awhile that Greenworks would be introducing a family of riding lawn mowers based on their 60 volt lithium-ion battery line. Well, they are finally here, a conventional 42" riding mower and a 42" Zero Turn riding mower...

It's been awhile since Greenworks introduced any new 80 volt products, but they have finally caught up with their 60 volt lawn mower lineup with a new dual battery port self-propelled lawn mower that has an automatic switchover. The battery compartment looks like the new 60 volt X-Range design...

Greenworks has introduced a new heavy duty lineup of 60 volt OPE that they have named X-Range. These tools have durable magnesium housings and other features to make them suitable for hard commercial use. They also have a new lineup of batteries that can connect to smartphones via Bluetooth to...

Ryobi has joined the dual blade bandwagon that was started by EGO with their Select Cut line of lawn mowers. Ryobi calls theirs Cross Cut, and it's featured on their 21" self-propelled lawn mower with SMART TREK Adaptive Variable Speed. It has dual battery ports, which are switched manually with...

So, we now know where the new EGO 56 volt 10 Ah batteries will be used, since they are too large to fit in the current walk-behind mowers. It will be interesting to see how much this will cost, since the current offerings from Greenworks and others are priced in the stratosphere. Assuming each...

I've always wondered how long lithium-ion batteries could sit on the shelf before they self-discharged to such a low level that they became bricked. I've bought old stock batteries before, but never more than five years old based on their date codes at the time of purchase. Well, I now have one...

When I first bought Greenworks cordless electric tools with Li-Ion batteries, the warranty policy was 4 years on tools and 2 years on batteries. Recently, I bought some new Greenworks 60 volt tools and batteries, and discovered that the warranty policy had changed to 4 years on both the tools...

Snapper has introduced a new 82 volt Li-Ion cordless blower that is a cross between a handheld and backpack style. The battery is separate from the blower, but sits in a holder on a waist belt instead of a back harness. The blower controls are backpack style with a top mount joystick and a strap...

There are several interesting new lawn mowers this year from EGO and Greenworks. First, EGO has a new 21" mower line in both self-propel and push variants that feature a twin blade system similar to what Honda has on some of its gas models, which EGO calls Select Cut. The inner blade is fixed...

This thing looks serious. Wonder what it will cost. https://greenworkscommercial.com/us/en-us/products/zero-turns-gz-60r They are also offering smaller ride on and stand on models.

Over the years I've owned many cordless electric straight shaft string trimmers, but none of them have had all the features that I wanted, namely: 1) An adjustable length shaft to accommodate my short 5"-2" frame 2) A bump feed string head with a rapid reload mechanism that doesn't require...

https://www.snowjoe.com/collections/100v-ion-cordless-tool-system Snow Joe has joined the list of higher voltage cordless OPE with their new Ion 100v sytem. The actual nominal operating voltage of their batteries is only 86.4 volts, so if one uses the typical 90% criteria for reduction from...

Let me explain. in March, 2017 I purchased a Greenworks 21” 60 volt cordless lawn mower that mentioned in the manual an optional heavy duty blade that promised improved bagging and mulching performance at the expense of higher power drain on the battery. So, I searched the internet and queried...

The name of this forum is Lawn World, but we do discuss non-lawn related topics such as snow removal. Should other outdoor power equipment related to home maintenance such as pressure washers also be a topic of discussion ?

Neuton was the last holdout with SLA battery powered lawn mowers, but they have now joined the rest of the industry with a new lineup of cordless electric lawn mowers and other outdoor power tools powered by 62 volt lithium-ion batteries. They no longer sell the model CE5 and CE6 SLA battery...

Jonsered (Husqvarna) has just announced a lineup of cordless outdoor power equipment based on 58 volt lithium-ion batteries that come in 2.6 Ah and 5.2 Ah capacities. The equipment includes a 21” lawnmower, 16” string trimmer, 16” chainsaw, 750 CFM handheld blower and 750 CFM backpack blower. I...

https://www.echo-usa.com/getattachment/369a2690-5206-4a30-a2a4-e8dfe65251b6/PB-2520.pdf I just bought a new model Echo leaf blower that addresses my two biggest complaints with my old PB-250LN, namely, lack of blowing force and too much weight. The new model is a lot more potent, while being a...

I just saw this for sale on Amazon for $799.99. It’s rather pricey, but seems to be a step above the current crop of cordless lawn mowers. The deck is 22”, so the blade should be about 21”. It comes with two 300 Wh batteries and promises up to 110 minutes of runtime...

This mower is currently being sold on the worxgt eBay store for $191.99 with a 20% Labor Day discount coupon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WG772-WORX-19-56V-Cordless-Mower-w-IntelliCut-NutriCut-dual-edge-blade/391792164209?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 This is more than...

I just saw this new cordless electric lawnmower on the Home Depot website, and was intrigued by an inovative new feature that allows for manual control of the power settings...

Seems to be happening a lot with this forum lately. Maybe they aren't paying their bills ? :laughing:

Yesterday I gave away my Husqvarna gas lawn mower, Echo string trimmer and Echo blade edger to my friend's son for use at his new house. I hadn't used these garden power tools for many years, since replacing them with cordless electric tools. I still have a couple of gas handheld blowers (Echo...

It wasn't all that long ago that 40 volt lithium-ion batteries were king, but now we have tool batteries in 56, 58, 60, 80 and even 82 volt (Snapper/Briggs&Stratton) configurations. Today I was browsing the Home Depot website and came across a blower and string trimmer under the Redback...

I've tabulated the Performance (CFM) to Weight ratio (P/W) of my handheld leaf blowers as an indication of their overall efficiency. I've limited this list to blowers with a minimum 300 CFM flow rate, as anything less is fairly useless as a leaf blower IMO. The cordless blowers were weighed with...

I just discovered this new lineup of Greenworks outdoor tools based on their 60 volt lithium-ion batteries that are currently a Lowe's exclusive, and bought both the lawn mower and handheld leaf blower. They are quite impressive in that they provide the performance of their 80 volt tools at the...

I just saw an interesting listing on Amazon for a Greenworks 21" self-propelled cordless electric lawn mower, powered by their 40 volt G-MAX lithium-ion batteries. It has two battery ports with auto-switching similar to their Twin-Force model, so it should have at least a one hour run time with...

This is the first walk behind self propelled lithium-ion battery powered lawn mower that I've seen. Up until now, self propell has only been available on the heavier lead acid battery powered lawn mowers. This mower is powered by a 420Wh lithium-ion battery, that is the largest currently...

60V 21" Brushless Mower with 4 Ah Battery, 2 Hour Charger - Walmart.com Looks like Snapper is joining the club with a lawn mower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, leaf blower and chainsaw. The lawn mower looks very similar to the Greenworks 80 volt lawn mower.

Dewalt is getting into the cordless outdoor power tool business with 20 and 40 Li-Ion battery powered blowers, string trimmers and a hedge trimmer, all of them using brushless motors. I recently bought the 20 volt blower at my local Lowe's, and it's quite impressive with 400 max CFM and a 100 Wh...

ECHO has long been known for it's gasoline powered garden tools, but they have joined the cordless ranks with a line of 58 volt lithium-ion battery powered tools. Home | ECHOCordless.com The neat thing is that they are offering both a 5 year consumer warranty and a 2 year commercial warranty...

I just saw this on the WORX website today: https://www.worx.com/en-US/Landroid-M-Robotic-Mower-WG794.aspx The cutting width is only 7", but it claims to be capable of cutting up to 1/4 acre.

WORX has finally joined the Li-Ion battery powered lawn mower family with a 19" mulching blade, steel deck and front caster wheels that is powered by two (2) 56 volt 2.5 Ah Li-Ion batteries. It is a 3 in 1 unit with mulching, rear bagging (1.4 bushels) and side discharge capabilities, and the...

I picked up this lawn mower recently on Amazon for $199.99. It's sold by a company named Greyson Products that apparently is the reincarnation of Turbo Garden, which disappeared some time ago after promising to introduce some Li-Ion battery powered lawn mowers that never materialized. This mower...

It appears that Greenworks may be targetting the pro lawn care market here. These tools are not yet available and the pricing will certainly be higher, but the tools and batteries are a cut above the currently available consumer products. The largest battery has a 460 Wh capacity, which is more...

Earlier this year Ryobi introduced a new 20" lawn mower powered by their 40 volt Li-Ion batteries, and now just in time for winter they are introducing a snow blower with a 20" wide by 10" high clearing path. As with the lawn mower, it is supplied with two 40 volt 94 Wh batteries that Ryobi...

Like the title says, what is your preferred method of mowing ? Is it mulch, bag or side discharge ? For myself, it is definitely mulch over 90% of the time with the remainder being to bag mostly to pick up leaves. I never side discharge and don't miss having this option on my lawn mowers.

Ryobi is joining the party of full sized Li-Ion battery powered lawn mowers with a new model that features a brushless motor, and offers mulching and bagging modes. It uses the same 40 volt batteries as the other tools, including its smaller 16" sibling. This mower offers a wider range of 7...

Warning ! Serious error in Greenworks 20" Dual Blade Mower Maintenance Instructions Although there is already an existing thread for this lawn mower, I wanted to make sure everyone who owns it sees this post to prevent damage to the mower when removing/replacing the blades. Specifically, the...

Not necessarily. I've compared three blowers, one gas, one corded electric and one battery powered unit below, using the manufacturer's published specifications: Echo PB-250LN two-cycle gas handheld blower: 391 CFM and 65 dB(A) - I own this and it's very quiet (no ear protection required)...

Just out on the Greenworks website, the basic tool is a 14" string trimmer with .080 dual line bump-feed head with a power head that can be attached to other compatible tools such as a disc brush cutter, stick edger, pole saw and blower. It claims compatibility with gas attachments from other...

I just spotted this on Amazon, and it appears to be almost a clone of the Black & Decker 16" Li-ion battery powered mower that I reported in another thread. In particular, the underside of the deck and blade appear to be identical, so I'd assume the same manufacturer has made this mower for both...

These are 15-inch and 17-inch cutting width corded electric mowers with some neat new features: 1) Edge Max permits cutting right up to walls and fences. 2) Compact & Go allows compacting of grass bag to collect more contents before emptying. See the video for more information ---->...

I'll let you decide. Basically, it's nothing more than a 12" string trimmer with a snap-on base that provides two height adjustment positions and keeps the trimmer lever for uniform cutting. Black and Decker touts this as suitable for very small yards up to 700 sq ft area. You can buy the...
