Black & Decker LE750 Heavy Duty Edge Hog 2-in-1 Landscape Edger

You'll get great results with this Black & Decker heavy-duty Edge Hog landscape edger, one of the easiest-to-use pieces of equipment we've come across. You'll be thrilled with how quickly you can get to work, as assembly takes only a few minutes. This is an electric model, so you'll need an extension cord and an electric outlet handy, but you won't have to deal with gas or oil. And it's so quiet you can edge at any time of day--even early Saturday mornings--without worrying about waking up the neighbors.

We found the Edge Hog has plenty of power in its 2-1/4-horsepower motor for both edging and trenching, and it's easy to switch from one to the other by simply raising or lowering the edge guide. The edger weighs only 12 pounds, which allows for easy transportation and great maneuverability around curved paths, but makes it more difficult to maintain a straight line when you're tackling a lawn that hasn't been edged in a while. If you're digging out quite a bit of dirt along with the edge you're creating, it takes some effort to keep the unit stable.

Undoing a screw toward the front of the edger and raising or lowering its leading wheel easily adjusts the depth of the edge groove you're making along with your edge. The unit can also be adjusted to fit the height of the user more comfortably by changing the angle on the guide handle. The blade requires only a pull of the trigger to start instantly and, unlike many gas models, stops as soon as the trigger is released---an important safety feature.

Boss Edger

This is a great machine. I have Zoysia grass which has not been edged for over 15 years. The Boss Edger cut right through it (in some places had to make a couple of passes but nonetheless it cut right through it) and made a tough task easier than I expected. Highly recommend the Boss Edger.

good out of the box

It worked as advertised out of the box. Easy to assemble and operate. The real test will be how it is working 5 years from now.

Gets the Job Done for Light Work

Having used this edger for a year, I can say that it is suitable for light work in dry conditions. As soon as the going gets heavy then multiple passes are needed. If the lawn has any moisture at all, then it clogs frequently. The guide is inadequate and care must be taken to ensure the blade remains in the turf and off the concrete. Blade wear hasn't been an issue for me. If you are dead set against gas edgers, try this one.

Yard-Man 11A-435D701 6.5-HP Yard-Man 3-in-1 Push Mower

Featuring a robust 6-1/2 horsepower engine, this sturdy little gas mower provides enough power for almost any landscape excluding unusually hilly lawns. An innovative Triple Care feature allows users to deal with clippings in one of three ways: collect them in a rear-mounted bag with 2-1/3-bushel capacity; discharge them through a side chute; or apply as a natural lawn fertilizer via the included mulch kit. A deep-dome, 22-inch cutting deck and patented mulching blade elevate and chop clippings so they decompose more rapidly; the waste is so finely cut that it disappears into the lawn for a clean, neat look. Hefty eight-inch wheels roll easily for less effort on your part and maneuver easily, even in tight corners. The nine-position fingertip height adjuster fine-tunes cutting elevation from one to 3-1/2 inches for a variety of lawn conditions. Two handles fold down for convenient transportation or compact storage. The Yard-Man 11A-435D701 comes fully assembled with oil in the carton, and is covered by a two-year, limited warranty. --Mary Park

Customer Review:

Yard-Man

Very easy to start. I like the fact that I don't have to mix the oil and the gas. A little hard to push once the bag starts getting heavy, but I love the easy mulch without all the raking! Height adjustments are a nice step up from all the cheapy mowers I've had over the years. I love this mower!!!!

Great all-around mower

Consumer reports was right! This is a very good mower for the money. I have never ordered something so large through the mail, but with minimal assembly it was ready to go. The engine is very easy to start (usually only 2 pulls when cold, one when the engine is warm) Mulching & side discharge both work well. I have not tried bagging. It is definately easy to handle & move around all the obstacles in my yard, including a steep bank, trees, stairs, etc. As the household Yard-Woman, I love the Yard-Man mower despite the name!

One of Amazon's Best Values

One Monday evening I decided that my Craftsman just wasn't cutting it anymore, as it seemed to drink all of the oil I kept putting into it. I came inside and without hesitation ordered this mower - and it was delivered fairly promptly (free shipping I might add). The FedEx delivered it right to my garage.

I was familiar with the name b/c I saw a Yard Man Tractor at Costco, so I figured I'd go with a smaller mower for the lawn I have.

For less than $200 this mower is awesome and a steal. Don't spend extra money on a self propelled mower, as this mower is VERY light-weight (probably 40 pounds or so) and is easy to push - and cuts the grass into tiny shreds - making for less bag emptying.

You don't even need to push the "cold start" button - it fires up right away - If you are looking for a great mower at a great value, BUY THIS ONE!

If you are looking to show up your neighbors with a nicer mower than theirs, either buy a more expensive one with functions you will never use or buy this one and replace the plastic wheels with Shiny-Steel rims.

Customer Review:

Mosquitos are history

We bought the smaller model of the mosquito magnet. We installed it out by our pool somewhat in the woods. There is a running stream in the spring and in the summer it stays wet, but not running, the mosquitos used to be unbearable by 8:00 pm. Now we are able to stay out and sit by the pool all night without a problem. It was a great purchase.

Hey, this WORKS!

True to its name, my Mosquito Magnet has effectively attracted every biting insect within a 2 mile radius of my home. I now have an awesome army of miniscule predators, which I regularly unleash upon my unsuspecting neighbors. Thanks, Mosquito Magnet!

Amazing Mosquito Control for the Yard

I live in Minnesota where the Mosquito is our 2nd State bird and this machine works wonders. Our yard has bushes and trees and the machine controls the mosquito population great. We also live by a lake and many marshes and wetlands and since buying this machine Spring 2004 we have been virtually mosquito free. It takes a couple of weeks to start to work but once the mosquitos hatch, they swarm to the machine and we have to empty the basket almost every other day! Before the mosquito magnet we would have to go into the house before it even became dusk because of all of the mosquitos! Now we can swim in our pool and have fun in our backyard into the night. I would recommend this to anyone who maintains their schedules around the dreaded mosquito!
