Black and Decker Lawncare Center Set

Hello Fellow Gardeners,

I was surfing Amazon and found this lawn tool set and thought “that’s perfect for the beginning gardener!” Amazon likes to sell things in bulk. If you’ve ever been to a Sam’s Club or Costco you well know that buying a dozen dozen donuts is half as expensive as buying a dozen donuts. (Something your heart and stomach probably disagrees with.) In an effort to cut prices Amazon has put together a garden tool set that sells for very cheap. It includes a Black and Decker Hedger, Trimmer / Edger, and Blower. That’s just about all you need to keep your bushes hedged, your lawn cut clean, and clear your driveway of the clippings in no time flat.

This is an incredible value and would cost well over $200 if each piece were purchased individually. Amazon is selling the entire set of garden tools for $169.99; the set includes:

Excellent 2 year warranty

Black & Decker Blower NS118

That’s all I have to say. I’ll try to get to a full review of each the tools in this set this week. Until then, happy gardening!

Sometimes companies just get things wrong, like when Sony thought giving the Playstation 3 a better graphics card was going to sell consoles or when Dominos Pizza thought Oreo Pizza with a cardboard crust was palatable. Today I review a blower that was manufactured by a company that just got it wrong. Here is my Weed Eater Electric Blower Review.

The Weed Eater Electric Blower is not your average blower, it’s actually far less than your average blower. You can expect the average blower to work with a small risk of defects. I can’t say the same of the Weed Eater Electric Blower. It is plagued with problems.

Weed Eater attempted to create a 3 in 1 blower, mulcher, and lawn vacuum. The Weed Eater Blower works fine when it’s running. My problem is that it doesn’t always run. Many people have reported that their Weed Eater Blower will shut off after a few minutes of use. That’s not the only problem. If you’re lucky enough to order a Weed Eater Blower that actually works, the bag used to capture leaves and debris when vacuuming frequently spews dust and the zippers often break down very quickly. Weed Eater has been very good about replacing the defective bags, but I wouldn’t want the hassle anyway.

Hopefully we’ll see some better products from Weed Eater in the future. Until then I can’t recommend the Weed Eater Electric Blower EBV215 in this review because there’s a decent chance you’ll get one that doesn’t work. My favorite blower brands are Toro or Black and Decker; they have a consistent track record of well designed and manufactured blowers.

Hello Readers!

Today is Saturday, my favorite day of the week. Saturday is the day I can spend the whole afternoon and evening in my front yard and my girlfriend can’t say anything about it. I usually start around 3 and go till it gets too cold or dark to work. Right now, I’m just killing time till 3 and figured I would write a garden tool review. Today, I bring you the Toro Ultra Electric Blower and Vacuum Review.

When I first saw this Toro Blower I fell in love. I thought “it couldn’t possibly do all these things well and cost that little!” There are always things to do in my yard and I love it when a company like Toro comes out with a tool that does more than one job, that way I don’t spend my afternoon picking up and cleaning tools.

What does the Toro Ultra Electric Blower do? Well, it blows, but in a good way. It can reach wind speeds of up to 235 miles per hour. Tenacious leaves gripping to pavement won’t have a chance. (I hate when I have to give in and get a rake to scrape something off my driveway when my blower just doesn’t do the trick.) Airflow can be reversed, turning the Toro Ultra Electric Blower in to a vacuum cleaner. That’s useful for picking up the pile of dirt and leaves you just shuffled in to a corner.

Finally, there’s a built in leaf shredder. Shredders are great for people like me in winter and fall when their trees leave barrels full of leaves on the grass and pavement. The shredder can cut up to sixteen Hefty Bags worth of leaves up and make them fit into a single bag! Just be careful not to let too many sticks or rocks go through the machine, this isn’t a heavy shredder, it’s meant for leaves.

One thing that has been getting overlooked by manufacturers of electric gardening tools is power cords falling out of place. This has happened to me quite a bit and it’s frustrating. Thankfully, this problem is being solved by the free market and Toro has designed a power cord locking system that keeps the power cord in place. The power cord lock certainly puts the Toro Leaf Blower over the top and earns a perfect 5 stars out of 5!
