Mowing Nirvana

Wed, 23 May 2001 13:06:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - Three years ago I reluctantly purchased a Yard Machine POS self propelled mower. I never liked it and have waited for the day it would die. A few weeks ago, that day finally came. It was finally time for a new mower. Once bitten, twice shy, so this...

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 19:59:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - I had always been a rake and broom kind of guy. When I saw people with their blowers, I thought of them as misguided leaf-herders. Then the Toro Electric Blower came into my life, and I crossed to the other side. Here is why.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take some pictures along the way, you are likely to forget much of what happens. That is where a good point and shoot 35mm camera, like the Freedom Zoom Explorer EX camera comes in handy. To be a...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - Despite my general apathy regarding how my yard looks, last spring I decided I needed a trimmer/edger. I've been generally pleased with the other Black & Decker products I own, so I decided to go with their model. Besides, for $50, how could I go...

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 11:26:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - Last year my wife got me the Norelco T7500 for a Christmas present. Before that I had been using a Wahl trimmer to keep my goatee in check, and I had never been that happy with the results (and apparently, neither had my wife). After I'd used the T7500...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - Of all the major Raleigh newspapers, the N & O is the best. Of course, it is the only major Raleigh newspaper. Even so there are some nice things about it. When my wife and I moved to Raleigh in 1998, we initially subscribed to this paper just for...

Spreads Like Butter

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 11:57:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - I do not have the best lawn on my street. Not by a long shot. Even so, I do want to at least keep my grass alive and more or less weed-free. To do this, I needed a spreader. Being somewhat cheap, I first bought a handheld spreader. With this, I...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author andyvegas - What is the deal with that furry Andy Ewok-guy who now seems to live at Dominos and wreak playful havoc with the employees and their bag heaters? I don't get it, and as a person named Andy, perhaps I find it mildly offensive.
