Depends how big your garden is?Looking to into lawn care equipment. Anyone has experience with electric mowers/trimmers/etc?
I am old school, I like gas powered things
I think most people use robots for mowing nowadays. Unless they really really like mowing. I’ve been recommended Husqvarna robots a lot, but haven’t bought one. I plan on removing most if not all of the lawn.Looking to into lawn care equipment. Anyone has experience with electric mowers/trimmers/etc?

Cordless or corded? Are you tied into any power tool system already?Any rec on electric mower/leaf blower/string trimmer combo? Trying to keep the three pieces altogether under 1 grand.
I had bad luck with a series of battery garden tools. Giving up and buying a good industrial extension cord and plug-in stuff was the best thing I ever did.Any rec on electric mower/leaf blower/string trimmer combo? Trying to keep the three pieces altogether under 1 grand.
There are good battery tools but you have to spring for the expensive stuff. I have some Milwaukee stuff that’s fantastic but I don’t do lawn maintenance so it’s not the full kit and kaboodle.I had bad luck with a series of battery garden tools.

I dunno. I have all battery tools. All the cheapest brand available from large hardware chain here, Bunnings. Electric mower, hedge trimmer, drills, whipper snipper, circular saws, Etc etc.There are good battery tools but you have to spring for the expensive stuff.

how much lawn maintenance do you realistically have to do?cordless. was looking into Makita or EGO systems
I am still leaning just getting gas powered tools
yes you could but you were asking about testing so i gave that. recommend getting one anyway for the tool box. basic fixture replacement is easy peazy.

They're not popular here, but my lawn is pretty much ideal for a robot other than the three apple trees interrupting the scene. Hate mowing the lawn, but afterwards I look at it, and think: done a good job there. Shame it only lasts a week.I think most people use robots for mowing nowadays.

Dude, you spent 800 bucks on an electric lawn mower?!Once a week. Ended up buying EGO system for around 800 bucks. Electric mower definitely feels under powered, so thankfully i have a relatively small yard. Need to pick up gardening since I have no idea about flowers.
I dig those wide floor boards!
Probably difficult and more money to them to replace. Maybe go on Lennox’s site to find their authorized technician list and pick a few out from there. Cross check their reviews online.We have split Lennox AC systems that’s 12 years old and both have slow leaks. I’ve replaced both coils a few years ago, but even they are at least 4 years old now.
Had a couple of people out to look at it, but all they do is top it up with gas for now and recommend replacing everything next time. Does that sound right? Not worth trying to find the leaks?
What’s a better brand to go with if I decide to replace both units?
Thanks man.Nice looking fridge! are all the doors in the house labeled?

Dunno about USA but over here RCAC/Heatpumps have improved heaps in efficiency etc in last 10 years.We have split Lennox AC systems that’s 12 years old and both have slow leaks. I’ve replaced both coils a few years ago, but even they are at least 4 years old now.

Not as good as a separate fan or a separate air purifier. Dyson customer service and build quality has gone Way down hill in recent years.Thoughts on Dyson purifying fans?
i've been stick vaccum shopping for a little while now so i've been reading a lot of Dyson reviews. its seems 5-8 years ago, depending on what you read, Dyson really started going to shit. now their batteries don't last a year, their customer service has gone down hill, and their products frequently break. enough so that its not just angry internet people and its more like a legitimate trend. trouble is everything else has dogshit reviews so its a bit of a crap shoot.Dyson is overpriced but still very durable. Or maybe I just have luck.
My oldest Dyson fan is ten years old this summer and still going strong. I have added two others over the years and still no issue.
I see reports of people's Dyson packing up in a few months of use however.
I dunno what they are but why not go for a decent hospital grade HEPA filter Etc. Filter, all bugs, colds flu, good for asthma, Covid.Thoughts on Dyson purifying fans?
we might have different classifications of "hospital grade" here in the states. anything a hospital would use wouldn't really be something you would buy for your house. we have hepa filters, of course, but even to those there are different levels of qualification. you'd need a merv-13 or greater to be able to filter out covid particles. most in-home air purifiers don't have that level of filtration.I dunno what they are but why not go for a decent hospital grade HEPA filter Etc. Filter, all bugs, colds flu, good for asthma, Covid.
We have a couple of them in the bedrooms. They’ve both been running 24/7 for 5-6 years now (my wife likes the white noise), so no complaints there.Thoughts on Dyson purifying fans?
i have the dyson vacuum, it has held up since purchasing 2 years ago; no issues so far. Bought a Roomba j7+ to make vacuum easier.i've been stick vaccum shopping for a little while now so i've been reading a lot of Dyson reviews. its seems 5-8 years ago, depending on what you read, Dyson really started going to shit. now their batteries don't last a year, their customer service has gone down hill, and their products frequently break. enough so that its not just angry internet people and its more like a legitimate trend. trouble is everything else has dogshit reviews so its a bit of a crap shoot.

I have an airpurifier already, my floor fan is old as shit so i thought I get one of these Dysons. Might just wait.We have a couple of them in the bedrooms. They’ve both been running 24/7 for 5-6 years now (my wife likes the white noise), so no complaints there.
It’s just a Gucci fan. Not particularly quiet, but a bit safer around kids. Judging the the debris caught at the induction points I don’t think they filter a fraction of what the AC unit is catching.
If you want to ouch sit around, I’d get/upgrade the ceiling fan and if you want to filter I’d look for a stand-alone filter unit.

Brands - Trane, Rheem, Carrier, American Standard - left to right in ascending order. Be prepared for sticker shock.
Be aware every company will give you a list in a different order.
Yes they stab them probes in themHad 2 different guys coming out yesterday to check my AC units, both outside fans are old and might need to be replaced soon. Looking at about 7 to 8 large a piece.....
One of the guys was checking duct pipe temps in the attic and he just poked his thermometer in the sleeve. I asked him if that would cause leaks and he said since the pipe is wrapped and insulated, it's the normal way to do it.
thoughts?

Correct. It’s lot like a pressurized tube where the air will start leaking out.Never seen that happen. Interesting. His explanation that due to the amount of insulation between the two layers, a small hole won't matter.
