Re: Homelite Gas Leaf Blower: $69.97

Yeah, if I needed a blower I would 1. buy from a dealer and 2. buy a different brand like Echo or Stihl or another good brand. I would not buy a Weedeater or Homelite, but that's just me. I am just pointing out the deals, not recommending them.

Sometimes even name brands have spotty quality. For example, there have been a lot of recent bad reviews of the Husqvarna 125B blower. I've had no problems with the Hitachi blower that I bought recently, but there is no comparison between it and the much better quality that is evident in the Echo blower. The Homelite blowers have consistently bad reviews similar to what Ric has posted.

Found this on my local Craigslist for $75. Looks like a Honda HRR216PKA, that sells new for over $400.

Honda Push Mower

I'm tempted.

Go for it! I have never used a Harmony mower (the Honda's with the darker gray decks like that), but I love my 2 Hondas!

Earthwise 14" battery powered mower for $99.87

I just ordered one from Amazon: Amazon.com: Earthwise 60214 14-Inch 24 Volt Side Discharge/Mulching Cordless Electric Lawn Mower: Patio, Lawn & Garden

MSRP is $249.99 and the lowest price I could find anywhere else is $228 at Walmart.com. Amazon has free shipping on this item, which is nice because it weighs 60 pounds and shipping costs are high. This is by far the lowest price on a battery powered mower and is even lower that any corded electric mower. This would be good as a small mower to mow in tight places, and the nice thing is that it has a single lever adjustment for wheel height with a wide range from 1.5" to 4" and 7 settings.

Looks good! Post some of your own pics of it once you get it! :thumbsup:

Update: Earthwise 14" battery powered mower price reduced to $92.09

Since my post on 12/29, Amazon has further reduced the price on this mower to $92.09, which is a 63% reduction from MSRP. I managed to cancel my previous order @ $99.87 before it shipped and re-order at the lower price. I just received shipping confirmation and should have it by next Monday. :biggrin:

Yeah. Especially when online stores like MowersDirect.com are asking nearly 3X that much. :laughing:

Edit: Holy cow ! They just reduced the price again to $89.79. Soon, they'll be giving them away for free. :laughing:

Greenworks 10-inch Li-Ion battery pole saw / tree pruner

I just ordered this: Amazon.com: Greenworks 20622A 40-Volt 4 Amp-Hour Cordless Lithium Ion 10-Inch Pole Saw/Tree Prune: Patio, Lawn & Garden

This is a closeout at 74% off MSRP. The battery alone costs twice as much. I have several tools that use this 40-volt 4 amp-hour battery, including a lawn mower, and it is very strong and provides long run times. The bar and chain are standard Oregon replacements. It has an auto-oiler and simple chain adjuster. You can adjust it to 2 different lengths with the middle section to extend it.
