WORX WG712 13 amp 16-Inch Electric Lawn Mower Review

WORX WG712 13 amp 16-Inch Electric Lawn Mower

Ok, I confess. I was a bit skeptical, especially when I realized the Worx electric mower was only 16" wide-- I'm replacing a 20" Snapper. Even a little more skeptical when I pulled it out of the box-- I never, ever imagined a lawn mower could appear like something half space-ship, half cartoon in real life and still do a decent job-- but it looks very cool and modern! Then I noticed those familiar styled little plastic wheels that used to adorn my kids' Big Wheel trikes-- another strike. Finally, I flustered trying to "snap" together the 2-piece plastic grass-catcher.
But not to worry-- really, this is a "positive" review.
Once I got over all that and pulled the machine out onto my small urban front and back lawn, all doubts blew away.
The Worx 16-inch mower "works" like a dream (couldn't resist that). The 16" swath it cut was just right for my two 12x15' patches of grass. The 13 amps were perfect to cut my overgrown semi-wet grass without any trouble at all. I was relieved to discover the mower engine has a not-too-loud blower sound a little like a turbine. That seems to be less obnoxious than other electric mowers reviewed on Amazon. And the cutter deck height was simple to change with their single lever 6-height adjustment feature.
I stored the catcher untouched in my small garage. Using the mulcher attachment, most of the grass easily & cleanly worked its way back into the lawn with little obvious mess. About only thing that needs improvement here is use of a small black plastic clip to hold the attachement in. I'm sure that will eventually be lost.
As far as the "Big Wheels" go-- I wish it had real rubber ones, but so far the mower performance has eclipsed any complaints I might have had initially. I also am not impressed with their catcher-- I'd much rather see a 1-piece molded plastic version on future models.
So, as of its first use, I love my new mower and have happily laid my old smoking Snapper to rest. I'll report back after the summer has past with my final evaluation.

Flowtron LE-900 The Ultimate Mulcher Electric Leaf Shredder Review

Flowtron LE-900 The Ultimate Mulcher Electric Leaf Shredder

This is a leaf shredder - not a mulcher. It is a sting trimmer inverted with a funnel on top. I used this to shred all my fall leaves - works great. My wife would load them and I would give it a bit of a stir with a stick. Shaking the unit back and forth will get small sticks to fall through without killing the strings.
Don't abuse it and it will work great. Forget what its purpose is and you will get grumpy and write negative reviews on Amazon. Leaf mulch went well on our beds, some of our plants didn't even die back - they were nice and toasty warm under their 4 inch blanket of shredded leaves. Just had to play the guessing game of when to remove some of the mulch to let the plants grow. Too soon and the spring frost will get them. Too late and they will end up stringy. I love my shredder. My in-laws will be getting one soon.

Regular Tearaway Embroidery Stabilizer - 10" x 100 yd roll Review

I go through a lot of tear away, so when I ran out I was very happy to find this! The width of this roll is a nice size for many projects.
This is a great bargain compared to what you would pay at fabric store chains, I cringe when I have to buy it at a store knowing I can get it so much cheaper online (plus stores tend to only carry the heavy weight, which tends to distort your project when you rip it away....this weight is kinder to your design and is less likely to pull it out of shape when you remove it!)
I would really recommend this item, its a great sewing aid at a great price.
