Pressure Washer Reviews
Written by admin on August 7, 2009 – 7:48 pm -Updated July 2009 The following review is synthesized from reviews provided by Consumer Reports, Sears.com, The Power Washer Advisor, Google Answers, HomeDepot.com, RidgidForum.com by ConsumerSearch.com. Best pressure washer overall Karcher K 5.93 M Reviewers say that a better quality electric pressure washer is the best choice for the widest range of chores -- and because it's electric, it's less costly to maintain and less polluting. The Karcher K 5.93 M is anowner favorite; it's powerful enough for most homeowner tasks, such as cleaning decks or sidewalks or washing siding, and it uses a quiet induction motor (better than the universal motors used in cheap pressure washers). You can easily spend twice as much on a pro-level pressure washer... more

Propane String Trimmers
Written by admin on July 23, 2009 – 4:39 am -by Jann Swanson Gas powered lawn and garden equipment are environmental disasters. Here are some ugly statistics from the EPA. • Gas lawn mowers create 5 percent of U.S. air pollution; and even higher percentage in metropolitan areas. • Garden equipment engines emit high levels of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxide. • Gas mowers consume 800 million gallons of gas per year. • Gardeners spill 17 million gallons of fuel each year while refueling lawn equipment - more than the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez.
