Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I read the initial reviews of this set, I wondered if I'd be making a wise purchase. It turned out to be one of our best decisions ever for taking care of our 60' x 60' yard. This equipment is MUCH lighter (which might lead some people to think they're not well-made), Even my husband was dubious when he first took the tools out of the box. His first comment was "are these toys???" Some of the reviews suggest that the leaf-blower is weak. I suppose if you intend to use it as a professional landscaping tool or if you have a lot of trees that drop mounds of Autumn leaves it would not be a good choice for those uses. However, it is perfect for cleaning up after mowing and trimming. We have a large porch and our driveway is wide behind our house. This blower cleans them quickly and perfectly -- not a grass clipping, chunk of dry dirt, or small stone in sight. We have one tree that drops small leaves, and the blower is perfectly suited for those. The trimmer is everything a person needs to keep fence-lines neat and pretty, and to neatly edge the sidewalk and garage. Here's are the two MAIN REASONS my husband loves these so much: 1) they are much quieter than the previous ones (same brand) and 2) the battery life is significantly improved. Even in our small yard, we had four batteries that had to be charged to & changed to complete the job. Now, he can do it very quickly, all with one interchangeable battery. He likes the trimmer so much that he edges the all the sidewalks of the two houses to our left and two to our right. The neighbors love him! Overall, we are very, very glad we chose this set; good price, does what we need, easy to use, quiet by comparison... what more could a person want?
