GreenWorks 25022 12 Amp 20-in 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower

GreenWorks 25022 12 Amp 20-in 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower Review. The mower is still going strong. Just another note - I abuse this thing. I leave it chained under my deck all year long since I don't have a garage or a tool shed. It sits in the rain, the snow, the heat, and the cold. Amazingly, every spring I plug it in, squeeze the handle, and it starts right up. Can't say that for even lots of gas mowers. Still gets my recommendation! The GreenWorks products that you purchase have a ZERO carbon footprint. We'll say that again - our entire product line will never release an ounce of carbon emission into the air. 4 Year Warranty - Double The Industry Standard. When looking for lawn tools, we know you're thinking about quality. You're looking for something that will get the job done and get you back to your weekend. That's why GreenWorks backs every tool with a full four-year warranty - we know our products will perform at the highest level and always be reliable. GreenWorks high quality products are manufactured to last. That's why we back every product with a warranty that's twice the industry standard. We'll provide all the power you need without polluting the air or forcing you to keep hauling your gas can to the nearest station (especially in the middle of a mow). No more tune-ups or maintenance. No more emissions.

By Donna Roberts (Arlington, VA United States) 
To clarify I'm Donna's husband and I've owned and worked on lawnmowers for over 50 years and never written a product review in my life. I'm compelled by this Greenworks 25022, owing to its outstanding design, ease of use and excellent performance. It's simply the best electric mower I've seen and have owned five over the past 30 years from three manufacturers. After moving from the farm to suburbs going electric made sense and you never miss handling or storing petro products. I've spent more than this machine costs on parts for Black and Decker e-mowers alone. Granted I've only owned the Greenworks since summer 2011 but I have a good feeling about the build quality as noted by other reviewers. The mower was delivered quickly by Amazon with free shipping in a well constructed box, super easy to attach handles and ready to cut 10" high grass through simple height adjustment. Grip is more comfortable than most, motor is strong and quiet, grass catcher works great (for grass and fall leaves) and best of all the large wheels roll over our bumpy, uneven lawn with half the effort. I cannot express more satisfaction, having found this the best value of anything purchased in years. Thank you Greenworks and Amazon for improving the quality of life for one the few homeowners who still mows his own lawn.
By Andrew P. Cervini (Tulsa, OK United States) 
I can't remember the last time I was this content with something I've purchased. This Greenworks mower is quiet, easy to push around, and helps me even reduce my carbon footprint, which is a nice benefit for someone who drives 30,000 miles a year at work. With the very easy to install accessory mulching plug I don't have to bag the clippings. The one cutting height adjustment lever is so much easier to use than my old gas mowers where you had to adjust the lever at all four wheels and needed Lou Ferigno to move the levers. The mowers handle system folds down easily so it can fit into a smaller spot in my garage. At one time in my life I was a product manager and I can say with some insight that this mower is one beautiful machine. Great work Greenworks - and Amazon, too. P.S. When my mower was shipped the delivery service accidentally brought my mower to the next street over with the same house number on "Street" instead of "Place." Amazon showed me as having received the mower at my back door. With one quick e-mail to Amazon, Greenworks and Amazon customer service were contacting the shipper to pick up my mower and re-deliver the next morning. The customer service actions were lightning fast and the follow-up impeccable. I'm so glad I'm reading about how Jeff Bezos and company are investing significant resources in their customer service and capabilities future at the risk of criticism from some all-to-greedy shareholders who can't see past next week.
By Jon E. Fisher (Baton Rouge, LA USA)
I bought a 25022 in March 2012...died in June 2013. Seven weeks later the local authorized service place STILL has not gotten around to fixing it (under warranty)! So, I called Greenworks back and immediately they said that they would send me a new one! Oh, WOW! Totally unexpected! They have a customer for life.
As to the mower, despite the fact that it quit working, I LOVE the machine. So light and easy to use, does a great job, and it is really, really quiet. I highly recommend the mower!

Whirlpool W10295370A Refrigerator Water Filter Customer Reviews:
By D. SMITH (Sarasota, FL)
I've had my Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator with in-door water and ice dispenser for over 3 years now and it has performed flawlessly. I was confused when I went to re-order the water filter from Amazon recently as it appeared Amazon no longer stocked #W10295370. However they do, and it's the same number with an A at the end. For some reason it only comes up as stocked by Amazon if you enter W10295370A. They are the same filter. Amazon's price of $30.18 with free shipping is cheaper than I can find it anywhere else. It's usually about $40 in stores. I've found the filters easy to replace and they last me 6-7 months. Unless you use a huge amount of water and/or ice daily the filter should easily last 6 months. My refrigerator has a light and chime that remind me when the filter has been in place for 6 months, which I find useful. The filter does a good job of improving the quality and taste of the water
By MARK A DEARMOND (APO, AE United States)
this is an OEM version for my whirlpool refrigerator. Lots cheaper than any box store, have it on auto replacement and love it
By James Lynch (CHARLES TOWN, WV, US)
It works great and the price was affordable. It's something that you need every 6 to 8 months for your fridge.

Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff Custumer Reviews:
By J. Sacher "Joe Sacher" (Indianapolis, IN USA) 
Cheaper noise canceling safety ear muffs will turn off the sound for almost a full second after a noise impact (usually gun shot). These filter them out and bring the sound right back in. The sound is clear and static free, a difficulty with cheaper muffs also.
When I turn these up, I can hear far better than natural ability in the woods. These are equal in function and quality to many $150-200 pairs I have tried. Exceptional value.
By C. Peterson (Los Alamos, NM United States)
Purchased these after being less than full satisfied with peltors. The features I prefer about these are: more comfortable, higher volume, better drop-out circuitry, higher-fidelity sound, single volume knob, auto-off, easy battery replacement. The only problem I had was that they were too big. I'm average sized, but even on the smallest setting, still too big. Stuck some 1/2" foam to the headband to fix.
By Janae Ulva (Wisconsin)
Bought these after doing research on many different brands of noise canceling earmuffs. These are the best! They work super great, they are made really well, they have the added advantage of good muff size, doesn't interfere with rifle stock like the bigger ones, battery placement is easy to get to, they fold,there is an external hookup for an iPod :) they are comfortable, and the green is a good sedate color. The packaging was even easy to get into. Great deal! I got two, one for me and one for my husband. A friend on the range borrowed them and he is ordering them now too.

Got this for a girlfriend at the time who does Massage Therapy. She uses it in her massage room and she really likes them.
It was a lot bigger than it seemed from the website and it is very heavy.. I'm a fan of the overall quality of this and the amount of light it produces.

By Danielle (new jersey) 
I actually got this as more of a nightlight for my pets than anything else, but I was surprised that it seems to have health benefits as well. I have one cat with asthma who tends to be at his worst during the summer. However, since letting this run in the room where he spends most of his time, he's had no spontaneous attacks at all. I'm shocked. If this had been me I would have attributed it to placebo effect; I'm one for drugs as treatments rather than new age-y stuff. This is supposed to be the worst year in terms of air quality for our area, but it's been his best year. I might order another for the winter when I'm more prone to sinus infections!

By ItalianMama (Missouri)
I knew these lamps were supposed to be good for your lungs, but I didn't realize just how much until I read the insert in the package. I will be ordering more for each room of the house! Also, these are HEAVY and solid and a beautiful color both lit and unlit. Very happy with the purchase.

By S. Karppala "Mommywithsix" (Gettysburg, PA)
An excessive compulsive clean-freak woman had to have had her hand in designing this vac. On a scale of 1-10 it's an 11! Thank you Black and Decker for coming out with the 1st cordless hand vac with the power of a corded one. It is so darn handy yet gets the job done. Need I say more? Yes, I do. The fact that all I have to do to get into my deep crevices or to use the brush is pull out the tools (instead of hunt for them in my closet) right on the nozzle is absolutely ingenious! Oh and that vented, hard plastic sleeve that goes over the washable filter - well, it's just clever. No more crud sticking to the filter to clog things up. t just slides right off!!!! You people at Black and Decker that designed this one deserve a huge raise! Finally, a GREAT hand vac! I love, love, love it! It's perfect. You thought of EVERYTHING. Well, almost everything. Now if you could just put it on automatic pilot to seek out the dust and crud ... Oh, well, you can't have everything. You get the idea.
By Storylover (Philadelphia, PA USA)
We are very hard on our cordless hand vacs--they get carted all around our house by our energetic boys, and used to pick up everything from dirt to insects to sweepings from the floor. I'm impressed by the power of this vacuum, and have been pleased with how easy it is to keep clean. It comes apart into 3 pieces pretty easily--a nozzle area, the main cannister area, and the motorized portion. This makes it a snap to get things clean and to empty into the trash. I like the fact that the brush portion is attached to the front nozzle, so I don't have to look for it when my kids cart the vacuum away. It folds out and snaps into place, very handily and easily. The machine is not too light and not too heavy. The charging mechanism plugs into the handle, and there is a simple light to tell you it is charging. On the whole, I prefer this over a charger into which the machine slides, like a couple of my older vac's have. I'm considering purchasing a second one of these excellent machines.
By Frank Bartolomey "frankduzok" (Jackson,NJ)
I have come to the conclusion that when you come across a few negative reviews about a product amongst many positive ones, you take the bad review with a grain of salt the size of a golf ball.
This unit is a 21st century dust buster. We talkin power, meaning super suction and super reach.A mean machine!!

By Mark L. Robinson (Bremerton, Wa)
I ordered this filter to replace my Kenmore ADQ36006102 filter which I paid $50.00 at Sears. Now for a little confusion. The filter is Model LT700P, part number ADQ36006101 for use in System model ADQ36006101-S. The LT700P is considered the replacement for the ADQ36006102 which is for the System model ADQ3600102-S. Totally confusing. Anyway I placed it side by side with the ADQ36006102 and they are identical. They are both manufactured by 3M, you know, the guys that make tape. It snapped right in place. Good to go.
By Kartik Jayaraman "DJ KJ" 
I used it in a Kenmore 6 series bottom freezer French door refrigerator. This is a replacement for the Kenmore models that Sears sells. In fact Sears sells the exact same filter with the Kenmore name. Its just a re packaged product. Its funny that they even kept the photo of the lady drinking with the straw in tact on the Kenmore version. The filter is not very intuitive to replace but what you do is pull down the filter and when its at a 120 degree angle pointing below, you pull it out and it comes off. I am surprised the product does not have clear installation instructions, but not too difficult to figure out.
By Mike Nasser (Orlando, FL)
I paid $70 the first time I had to change the water filter on my new stainless steel Kenmore French Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator. This is what Sears sells these things for. I thought it was a rip off to charge that much, so the next time I needed the filter I searched Amazon and was pleasantly surprised to find this LG filter for less than half of what Search charges. The helpful reviews confirmed that the LG would work fine on my Kenmore fridge. Actually, the sales person at Sears told me that this particular model fridge is made by LG (other Kenmore Fridges are made by Samsung and other companies)! The LG filter was a perfect match. Never again will I buy the water filter from Sears. I'll be buying it from Amazon from now on.
By Robert Schmitt (Tavares, FL, US) 
This is an exact replacement for the Kenmore version. The Kenmore brand filter is 50% more at Sears for some reason... The replacement reminder on the fridge is set for a specific volume +/- and not the actual filter condition or flow, so if you have a decent water supply it can easily go through 2+ cycles without a drop in water quality.
I was apprehensive to replace the old filter, as it was the first time that it needed to be replaced. Installation instructions were included with the filter, and I had no problem removing the old one and replacing it with the new one.
I plan on continuing to purchase our replacement filters through Amazon.

Nest Learning Thermostat Custumer Reviews:
By C. Morgan (Raleigh, NC)
I have three Nests in my home (one on each floor) to manage about 5,000 square feet. As others have said, packaging was nice and install was simple. I used the wall plates because we have satin paint, and I was not in the mood to paint the entire wall. I have electric heat and forced air AC on the first and second floors with the first floor being gas heat and forced air.
Love the iPhone and iPad apps! Get too cold or hot at night while in bed? No problem -- just reach over and set it with your iPhone without rolling out of bed. The self-learning feature has been great as well -- all three of my Nests seem to be coordinating and even accounts for minimal 3rd floor usage in our home.
It is pricey, but it looks good and "just works". I'm curious to see the long-term energy improvements, but even without that knowledge presentation, ease of use, and coordination of three devices make it worth it to me.
By Kurt (Oakland, US, Canada)
This thermostat takes a boring device up to the next level and makes you love it. It's no surprise there is an iPod designer involved in its creation. It does everything promised - hooks up to your wireless for remote control from anywhere, by a beautiful little app; modulates your usage, including calculating the time it takes to heat or cool your house, so it can do smarter setback operations. In other words, you tell it what temperature you want and it will figure out when to turn on and off and pace your equipment to get there with a minimum of energy use. A couple of personal experiences- Very easy to install with good instructions for matching up your existing wires and an optional, white plastic back plate to cover larger holes in your wall if necessary. I have Nests installed in two separate houses and I control both from the app. Actually, my wife does it, and technology has to be rewarding and fun for her to use it. We did not like the 'learn' feature where the Nest monitors your patterns and preferences to establish a series of target temperatures throughout the day and night. My schedule is too erratic. So If I stayed up late all week, it thought I always wanted those temperatures at 2:00am. Once I turned off that feature and cleared out the settings, it was a better fit for me. I can see where people with a regular schedule might like it though.
