good sprayer with adjustable spray pattern

I bought this to spray my loft limbers with a micro emulsion pesticide and fungicide which was water based.
It proved to be very very effective and much easier to use than an electric sprayer.
The top is funnel shaped allowing for easy filling and the large handle doubles as the pump which is quite large so it's easy to pressurise.
It also comes with a shoulder strap to enable you to walk around with it easily.
The pressure vessel is very robust and should last many years.
All in all a very good sprayer which performs as good as my dads `other' make one that cost over twice as much.

The best one I've ever owned

I brought my first Karcher pressure washer in Germany in 1992 and it lasted nearly 10 years and was excellent. Then I made the mistake of replacing it with one of the cheaper Karcher washers, which just lacked the necessary pressure to thoroughly clean everything. I got rid of it and brought a K 6.85M and normal service was resumed. If you want a decent pressure washer, with plenty of power, this is the one to buy. I have purchased most of the various accessories over the years and some are better than others. Personally, I think the extension lance, rotary brush and the patio washer are the best. Dilute the cleaning fluid 50/50 with water and it works just as well. Enjoy!

Bosch Cordless Strimmer

Does a neat job, but a couple of issues:

1. No Safety switch (press button in and then another button to turn on), like most strimmers / garden tools I have used. Managed to strim my ankles which hurt a bit!

2. Blades don't last long and seem to be fairly expensive to replace( if you can find a stockist!).

Would I buy again? Not sure. You get good results, but above points spoil another wise good product.

THANK YOU!

If you've ever tried to remove wallpaper with ANYTHING, then you'll want to get this. The house I live in is over a hundred years old and there was literally seven layers of wallpaper. This Wagner W1420V steamer saved my life and my arms.

Good for the Lazy Gardener

This lawn mower is good at what it does. Cutting grass, particularly long grass, even wet grass, or if your really keen long wet grass. For these conditions it is ideal. For those of us who are lazy, or just do not want to be constantly emptying a grass box it is also ideal. Also for those who have no means of recycling the mowings from the lawn it is a big plus, particularly with town councils clamping down on what they will and will not collect.

It has a powerful motor which is ideal for tackling grass that has been allowed to grow longer than normal and another big plus is that it folds together nicely and can be hung on a wall somewhere without taking up too much valuable room. The one down side with mowers of this type is that the lawn eventually has a 'thatch'. This is caused by the lawn clippings being left on top of the grass. A good scouring with a lawn rake can be beneficial in these circumstances.

If you want a lawn that looks like a bowling green with nice stripes on it, then this is not the mower for you. However if your 'grass' is not pretending to be a lawn and most of the time is used by half the kids in the neighbourhood as a football pitch, this mower will help to keep it manageable. All in all a good all purpose mower that takes a lot of the hard work out of keeping the grass short.

Great product but perhaps not industrial strength

I bought this because after cutting down a hedge I had a huge pile of clippings and wanted an easy way to get them into bags to take off to the dump.

It did an outstanding job on one set of clippings (bay) turning the pile quickly into a mound of fine shreddings that I have added to the compost heap. It's quite satisfying too!

On the clippings from another part of the hedge it was more disappointing. This was leafy laurel, and even the thin bits refused to go through the shredder at all, at which point I had to resort to a pair of secateurs to chop the branches into small pieces.

My overall comment - does a spectacular job on some of your clippings but you'll still have some work to do yourself.

Don't think of buying.

Agree with everything C.Mackie said. If I could give no stars I would! This is a spectacularly useless piece of equipment and Flymo should be prevented from marketing it.
