Lawn and Garden Reviews

WORKS GREAT, I HAVE USED THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEY SAVE ME TIME AND MONEY.
PERFECT FOR A SMALL LAWN OR A LARGE LANDSCAPE BUSINESS.

Every Summer when we start feeling hot me and my family open the balconies to change warm air with cool air present outside because our house is surrounded by fields. But we always had a problem which had to do with mosquitos and this was a serious problem because every morning when we woke up each one of us had at least two mosquito bytes.

After thinking that it was the time to avoid mosquitos from coming in our house. I decided to buy the Weitech 0400 Mosquito-X Pest Repeller for evry room this immediately showed a positive result because with its fragrant scent no more mosquitos dared to come in our house. Now me and my family can enjoy sleeping comfortably without feeling threatened from mosquitos.

Therefore I suggest that each one of you who is aware from mosquitos, should make a decision like mine and will enjoy the positive results obtained from the Weitech 0400 Mosquito-X Pest Repeller. It is enough so go on and try it.

It managed to solve my problem involvingmosquitos. It si worth to buy and it will even make a fragrant scent. So make the decision I made and you will not feel sorry.

I only purchased one of these but after watching the bugs and rodents diappear from my home, I wish I would have gotten more.
This item has truly blessed my home. I recommend this product for anyone who maybe having problems with bugs in their homes.

So there I am -- it's a beautiful weekend, I don't have to be at the gravel pit, and I'm parked on the sofa watching NASCAR. At which point my youngest son decides he wants Daddy to build him a clubhouse. What do I look like, Mike freakin' Brady? I sure HOPE not, if you catch my drift.

Fortunately for me, I had the computer on to download real-time stats from the race. In order to stop his crying (not to mention Darla's nagging), I waited until a commercial break, then popped over here to Amazon.com and found the perfect solution! Sure, it's supposed to be a tool-shed, but the durable all-weather vinyl and double doors work perfectly for my purposes! Best of all, I didn't have to spend any time getting lumber, taking measurements, or bonding with the boys while building a REAL clubhouse!

Since the little crybaby will lose interest in it after, like, a week, I didn't bother to get the separate foundation kit. I'm sort of bummed that gift-wrapping wasn't available, since that would have added a nice touch of sarcasm.

I will say this: thanks to the Woodbridge Shed 10'x10', I've become "Wonder Dad." Even my older son Seth is impressed; he and his girlfriend keep going out there to admire my ingenuity!

This is the best mower I have ever used. Why would Yardman no longer make this YardBug? Is some other Mfg. taking this unit over for Manufacture?

This lawn mower is a great product. I have had this for only two months and it hasn't failed me yet. I used to just have a self propelled mower, but I'm walking through a hardware store and see this exact tractor. I wasn't about to just buy it, so like everything else I buy, I go to Amazon to see what they say. It looked pretty good so I thought, why not give it a shot. Now i love mowing the lawn, and when I'm busy, my son will mow my 2 acres for FREE! It's so much fun and takes no effort. I would buy this again if I needed it.

I have 400 feet of privet hedge that is 12-14 feet tall. This tool will eliminate the annual massive project, rented chipper, control effort. Now I can work on it 2 hours at a time (or less). AND it rakes leaves, eliminates yard waste, and washes my car. Well not the last one. But it is very versatile. And it works great. It chips 2 inch green stock and mulches leaves and brush into nothing. The engine is really a full 6 HP. And the chipper chute is designed to allow you to run some forked sticks through it. I can only bog the engine on the very largest limbs. And not that easily. If you wife loves to plant stuff everywhere, you need one of these to stay ahead of it.

I use it indoors to store blankets and some pillows . . . keeps the cat hair off the clean stuff!

Not much to say - except this is an excellent choice for extra deck storage. I've kept unopened seed packets in here with other garden tools. And seed packets really are very moisture sensitive.

It's all stayed boned dry in even the worst downpours. I'm so pleased. There's really not much else to say. Extra storage, nice and dry. Nothing bad to speak of.

First, let me say that I am elated to have my rl800. I bought it in 2003 and it has worked great for me, since I am not able to mow my own lawn.

Second, my reason for writing this note: The last couple of days I kept getting the you-need-to-recharge-your-mower message, even though it had been hooked up to the recharger.

After doing what it said, with no success, I bought some size C batteries for turning on the hook-up. That still didn't help. I looked inside where the battery contact is made. It was off line.

The message: "Please Remove battery before lifting!" had inadvertantly led to the damage of the interior connectivity. The battery is very heavy. The point of connectivity is very fragile, at least in comparison to the battery. My point, the constant removal of the battery will damage your connectivity. Rather than removing the battery and having to reinsert it, (risking damaging your product) shove the mower with your foot when it gets stuck, if not strong enough to lift the mower, battery and all. This will prevent damaging your mower's interior and save you repair bills or replacement cost.

I've now used my RL800 for two full seasons, and I'm still pleased with it. It does a decent job, and it has advantages, but it isn't perfect.

Some of this has been said in other reviews, but I'll add my two cents. The pros:
- it mows while you relax, out of the heat
- it only takes a couple of minutes of your time to start it mowing, and another couple to put it away afterward
- it mows in multiple directions, a tip recommended by many lawn care advocates
- it doesn't get tired; you can mow your entire lawn two or three times a week if you want
- it is very quiet compared to a gas mower; about as loud as a cordless string trimmer

The cons:
- pricey
- expensive for consumables (battery pack every 3-5 years, a $25-$40 expense per year, not including the cost of electricity to recharge, and new blades periodically, maybe every 2 or 3 years, another $20-$30 per year)
- very slow compared to a gas mower - expect 2 hours to mow what you could easily do in half an hour yourself
- misses spots on a single session (but more frequent mowing makes up for this)
- recharge with included trickle charger can take more than 24 hours (about 13 hours per hour of use in my experience)
- won't mow yards over 5,000 sq ft on a single charge
- yards over 5,000 sq ft must be split up into zones
- can take multiple days to mow your entire yard
- perimeter wire layout is time consuming and tedious, especially if you have to wire around many obstacles
- the supplied wire and stakes aren't enough for any but there very smallest yards
- it can't handle especially small sections (narrower than 5')
- it doesn't mow close to obstacles or walls
- you'll still want a standard push mower (much as you would if you had a riding mower)
- it sometimes gets stuck or stops spontaneously (in my experience this happens one time in 15, so not too frequent)
- it's not suitable for rough or especially steep lawns
- blades need frequent cleaning for maximum performance (they gut gummed up), I'd recommend once every three-to-five session

I've rated this a four because I expected most of the above, and within it's limitations the Robomower performs as expected. But bottom line, unless you have some special reason you'll probably be better served spending your money on an inexpensive lawn tractor.

First of all, you need to understand the limitations of the Robomower and determine if your yard is right for it or not. I've had my RL800 for 3 seasons now and while I still fuss at it every time it cuts the grass, I don't know what I'd do without it...Except get another smelly gas mower and grind it out like before Robomower.

It doesn't do hills well. Think about how you divide up your yard into zones before installation. Keep the battery continuously charging. And "supervise" it while it's cutting the grass. If you're yard is relatively flat and you send Robomower out every week during the summer, you should be pleased with the results, mechanical/warranty problems aside.

Our entire front, sides and back yards are all 1 zone. As such, after completing the perimeter cut, Robomower usually leaves the front yard before it's completely cut and sneaks into the back yard. While this can be frustrating, it's how it's supposed to work if everything is 1 zone...I simply walk it back up into the front yard and let it start zig-zagging back and forth again. If it looks like rain or I'm in a hurry, I'll manually touch up any missed patches before walking it to another part of the yard...Otherwise I just let it run and run and run and it usually gets just about every spot (eventually). I got an extra new battery that I switch out mid-week so both stay charged.

I have it set to take off about 1/3 of the grass with each weekly cut and our Bermuda has never looked better. It truly is a "sea of green" once Robomower is finished and the blades have been clipped from every direction. It looks as good or better than the $150/visit professional landscaping crew does across the street. We have four 20" x 20" recessed drainage holes throughout the yard that can be a problem. Most of the time Robomower goes down and comes back out OK...Sometimes it just sits and spins the wheels trying to climb out. Hence, the supervision part of the job. Keeping an eye on Robomower and intervening when needed is still much better than the old blood and sweat that I see falling off the neighbors when they go out and cut their grass the old-fashioned way.

Next to the PC and HDTV, Robomower gets my vote for best "life made easier" invention of the past 20 years. It's not perfect, but neither are you when you cut the grass. It's just much more convenient watching the grass be cut by Robomower. Understand it's limitations, plan your yard zones like you want it to operate and you should be equally pleased with the results, provided you don't get the inevitable lemon. I have extra tires and extra blades, but haven't needed to replace them after 3 seasons of weekly mowings. Great product!!
