New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
I enjoy tackling new DIY projects around my house, but there’s one aspect of home ownership that I have hated since I was a kid being forced to do it by my parents: yard work. Trimming grass and branches, raking up the trimmings and fallen leaves, and fighting nature’s tendency to be wild? No thanks. It’s sweaty, thankless work.
Then I found the Ego Power+ cordless trimmer and blower , and, well, yard work still kind of sucks, but it’s a lot easier now. I didn’t realize how much worse power cord management made the job, for one thing—being cordless is magic when you’re walking around an outdoor space filled with 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 recharges in under half an hour so you can get back to it quickly if you do run it down. And having a blower that a) doesn’t require gas, b) doesn’t spew exhaust in my face, and c) lets me forget I own a rake is just as good.
This combo deal is the trimmer, the blower, a battery, and a charger (plus two attachments for the blower)—all for $299.99 , which is 27% off the regular price. If you’ve got an unruly outdoor space you want to whip into shape without having to run a hundred feet of extension cord or deal with leftover gas, jump on this deal.
