  Power washer recommendations?

  I recommend the[ Sun Joe SPX3000 ](https://www.reddit.com/r/pressurewashers/comments/1o1xkok/best_electric_pressure_washer_to_buy/)and the [Greenworks Pro 3000 PSI.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pressurewashers/comments/1o1xkok/best_electric_pressure_washer_to_buy/) Both are reliable and great for home cleaning tasks like driveways, patios, and siding. The Sun Joe is a solid all-around machine, while the Greenworks model offers more power. If you want something easy to use and effective, these are great choices.

  Looking for a stick vacuum like the one in the photo trusted models you’ve used for years?

  I have a Greenworks, vacuum that is very similar to this one. I haven’t had it for the longest time but it’s very well built and battery is easy to replace in the long run.

  Need opinions on leaf blowers

  It is a tough call for me because I am DIY inclined. I looked and Ego parts are widely available. If I wasn't DIY inclined, I think many/most repairs would be cost-prohibitive though so parts availability wouldn't be a factor. In that case the 4 year Greenworks warranty is strong (apparently for all Greenworks tools, not just at Costco). Normally I'd pay attention to that, but I knew I could fall back on Costco if necessary. I've never tried an Ego blower though, so I probably wouldn't buy one unless I knew I'd be able to return it if I didn't like how it performed. You know you can bring it right back to Costco if you don't like the Greenworks.

  Need opinions on leaf blowers

  I have the Greenworks 80v blower from Costco. It works well for relatively small jobs (quick clearing of large driveway and walkway), but I'm not going to give up my gas backpack for leaves in the fall. It has pretty good power, but even the 4.0 AH battery runs down long before I'm ready to quit. It is also starts to feel a bit heavy after a while. It is great for keeping my deck clear though. With that said, I'm not sure it is BIFL. My impeller imploded after sucking in a drawstring cord from my hoodie. I have to give Greenworks credit though because when I called to ask about parts, they said they aren't repairable and started a warranty replacement. Of course if it had happened a month or so later I'd have been out of luck - although perhaps I could have taken it back to Costco. Of course, I don't know if EGO blowers can be repaired. Pro tip - my blower makes a very loud and annoying shrill sound when using the standard nozzle, but it is much quieter and isn't annoying when I use the flat nozzle that is included in the Costco bundle.

  Pressure Washer Reqs?

  Heated pressure washers are a niche tool. That said, never run hot water in a PW not specified for it. Simpson is considered to be the top dog usually in portable pw's. But usually anything with a Honda does better than most. That said, Honda is pulling out of the small engine market so keep that in mind. For electric, higher end I'd look at Greenworks or Predator from HF. The gas Predators are pretty decent as well.

  I’ve beat on this thing for 20 years. Toro 190cc 22” recycler with FWD

  Toros are awesome. I liked all 3 of the Toros we had growing up, but got a Honda for some reason. Not sure how Honda got a mower so wrong but they did. But truthfully, I am using what I thought was a cheapie 80v Greenworks that’s been going strong for 5+ years now.

  Costco greenworks has(or had) a 8 year warranty on batteries. Electric is the way to go unless you need the power of a gas one. I'm happy with my greenworks 80v tools, but think ego tools are probably better overall.

  Gas Lawn Mower Recommendations?

  After owning a commercial toro (lightly used from a golf course) for over a decade, I switched to an electric Greenworks 80v three years ago and will never look back. Not considering electric is a bad move IMHO.

  Lawnmower for small home?

  If you have a Costco membership, any of the Greenworks 80v line of tools coffee with a 4 year warranty on the tool, and 8 year on the battery.

  Best Electric Pressure Washers to buy

  I have a green works corded pressure washer. It's quiet, powerful, gets the job done. Had it for a few years as a homeowner, no complaints except the "turbo" nozzle froze up and we had to buy a new one. Other than that it does great for washing cars, sidewalks, the house, boats, you name it.

  Best electric string trimmer (weed wacker) for home use?

  [Greenworks 80V](https://www.amazon.com/Greenworks-16-Inch-Cordless-Included-ST80L210/dp/B01CA4PRRO) is a really good electric trimmer. Better and quieter than a gas trimmer & has more power. The battery reaches a full charge in about 30 minutes.

  What’s the best electric weed wacker?? Suggestions needed

  I look to AGZA for BIFL electric lawn equipment, they make recommendations for commercial use based on durability in real-world testing. Their recommendations for this would be EGO Power+, Stihl AP, Husqvarna Commercial, Makita, and Greenworks Commercial. Of these, EGO and Makita will be the easiest to get and the most affordable. I can also attest that Milwaukee's lawn equipment is very good. They have one of the best electric mowers out there, and my dad and I both have Milwaukee weedeaters that work great

  What’s the best electric weed wacker?? Suggestions needed

  I like my Greenworks Pro 80V unit, its the only one I have ever used that has the power and stamina of a mid tier 2 stroke model and uses the same battery as the lawn mower and blower.

  Looking to consolidate battery powered lawn and power tools, what are the pro and cons of each major manufacturer?

  AGZA makes recommendations for outdoor power from a perspective of replacing gas tools for professionals, and their recommendations are: * Stihl AP * Husqvarna * Makita * Greenworks Commercial * EGO Power+ Apparently the Ego tools hold up well, even when used professionally

  Greenworks through Costco has an extended battery warranty fwiw Ego probably still makes the better tools though.
