New to Prime Day? We’ve got everything you need to get started . Sales information is accurate at the time of publication, but prices and stock levels are subject to change.
I love taking on new projects around the house, but there’s one aspect of housework I’ve hated since childhood, because my parents forced me to do it: yard work. Trimming the grass and branches, raking up clippings and fallen leaves, fighting nature’s rampage? No thanks. It’s hard and thankless work.
Then I found the Ego Power+ cordless trimmer and leaf blower , and well, gardening is still a bit of a chore, but it’s much easier now. I didn’t realize how much more complicated it was to manage the power cord, but cordless is magical when you’re traversing an open space full of obstacles and plants. The battery life is advertised at 75 minutes, though in my experience it’s closer to an hour, which is still more than enough, and the battery charges in under half an hour, so you can quickly get back to work if it runs out of power . And having a leaf blower that a) doesn’t require gas, b) doesn’t spew exhaust fumes in my face, and c) makes it easy to forget about raking is pretty neat, too.
This kit includes a trimmer, blower, battery, and charger (plus two blower attachments) for $299.99 , a 27% discount off the regular price. If you have a scruffy outdoor area and want to spruce it up without running hundreds of feet of extension cord or dealing with leftover gas, take advantage of this deal.
