gas or electric or cordless string trimmer
#1   Apr 22, 2015 7:27 am
Hello, I am looking for a new string trimmer with edger attachment and was wondering which was to go. Right now I have a Worx cordless trimmer which is a little awkward to use but gets the job done. I am not really a fan of the charging system on this trimmer as all you go by is the green or red light to see if the battery is charging and having to make sure the battery is not overcharged as it can kill the battery as the charger does not shut off. Anyhow, I do not have a lot of yard to trim which is why I went with a cordless but I am looking for suggestions in an upgrade as I need an edger. The Worx edger part on the trimmer I have is garbage. I really do not want to spend a lot of money now but I know that you get what you pay for. I was looking at some refurbished gas units but not owning a gas trimmer before I am not sure how well they work and how decent a refurbished unit is. I see them pretty inexpensive on EBAY and was just wondering if they are going to be another headache or something decent. I was also looking at the Black and Decker electric edger LE750, which is electric, but I am really not a fan of having to haul an electric cord out in order to edge but on the other hand I will only be using it twice a month maybe, which is an option. I would appreciate any suggestions you could give me. Thanks
Lawn mower and trimmer/edger suggestions

Hello, I have 2 questions which I need help with. Last year in 2014 my wife and I put down a Zoysia front lawn. The yard looks real nice but being on around a 15 degree slope makes it really difficult to mow. I have a 2 year old Toro personal pace, model #20332, mower that just sinks into the lawn and the rear wheel drive is basically useless. I am looking for any suggestions on how to mow this yard easier either with this mower or with a different one. My second question is I am looking for suggestions on a new trimmer with edger attachment. I have a Black and Decker trimmer now where the battery is not replaceable and the battery will not last trimming my yard of 3/4 of an acre including the back yard. I also have a Worx trimmer that trims good but the edger is not good at all. Please let me know which trimmer with edger attachment you would suggest. Since the Worx trimmer and Toro mower are only 1 year old I may be interested in swapping them out if there is other equipment out there that would make my work easier. Thanks
Vacuum suggestion

Hello, My wife has asked me to try and find a new vacuum for us but we have a unique situation. We live in a 2 story house with a laminate wood floor in our living room with tile in our kitchen and dining room. The stairs leading up to our second floor and hallway are carpet and the 3 bedrooms upstairs are carpet now but we are going to be putting wood down shortly. On top of that we have birds that make a mess. Which vacuum would you suggest would be best for us to clean up the mess from the birds along with being able to clean the carpet in the hallway and stairs? Thanks, Glenn
