We recently moved from our nice little city house to a bit larger living space out in the ‘burbs. The extra square footage had become a bit of a necessity, as it has for many, due to our home now doubling as living and working space for two adults full time (and for others as schools, movie theaters, bars, etc., etc.). While our ancient Scott’s Push Reel style mower served us well for over a decade at the last residence, let’s just say it just wasn’t cutting it at the new house. We do have a larger lot, though not all of it is mowed (the steep hill in the back is a story for another post – we’ll be needing a Brush Cutter, stat!). In any event, the grass is growing quickly here in the mid-west as Spring sets in, and keeping it tamed with the push reel style mower was a bit more of a workout than we were looking for. Enter the good folks in blue, who sent along their newest Kobalt 24V Cordless Mower for our evaluation. Read More

Let’s take a closer look – and listen – and hear what the Kobalt Quiet Tech compressor is all about. Read More
