This powerful battery-powered mower, however, delivers easy maneuverability without sacrificing cutting capabilities.

Mowing the lawn can either be an arduous task or a relaxing stroll; it all depends on the quality of your equipment. Sure, none of us want to go back to the manual push mowers of yore, but some powered mowers just add more noise and rumble without offering better results.

This mower has dual blade design that means better cut quality, with superior mulching and bagging capabilities. And shoppers love that it's not too loud.

"This is the best lawn mower I have had," said a happy customer. "We live in Costa Rica and mow the lawn year round, our property is about 1/4 acre and has a steep hill. The battery lasts as long or as longer as a tank of gas on the mower it replaces."

Enjoy speeds of up to 120 miles per hour with this handy blower.

Wrangling leaves that have blown out of range of your old corded leaf blower is a bummer. Avoid that strain with Greenworks' lightweight cordless leaf blower. This battery-powered powerhouse delivers plenty of blowing power and comes with an extension tube for even more efficiency and control. Shoppers love that it's cordless and still gets the job done.

"This thing is almost fun to use," a happy customer raved. "Part of that is certainly its tremendous power but mostly it's not having to drag around any cord."

Trim high branches with this handy saw.

This powerful 40-volt trimmer is a winner. It has an adjustable handle to give you the perfect angle based on your height and it comes with removable batteries, so you’ll never lose power during the job.

"Used once to prune multiple trees, The battery lasted the entire time and had two out of three bars left when I was done," a satisfied customer said. "I cut effortlessly dead limbs up to eight inches in diameter. Very impressed with the power and performance."
