Our current mattress wasn't cheap (LORD do I know that!!!!), and it's fine, but I get to pick the next one. We'll leave it at that. [Reply]
Well, I did it. Bought my first Rainman recommended product - the Pitbull Skull Shaver. I've used it twice so far and it does the job I wanted. Instead of needing to lather up and shave my head every 2-3 days, this little bad boy trims it down close enough I can put off shaving. Being able to put it off is a lazy man's dream.
I would add a second, less impressive, recommendation for this if you are lazy like I am and just want to quickly & easily keep your head trimmed up.
I'm really digging my electric lawn mower. Bought it last fall, but really loved how it fired right up this spring after sitting dormant. It's lighter weight, 60V power, plenty of punch. Quiet like a box fan in your house. Just a great invention, and better for the environment. [Reply]

Just in general, I feel like electric lawn tools have come into their own in the past 5 years or so. I've gone all in on the Ryobi 40V system with a mower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, and pole saw. If you've got a huge yard it might be too underpowered, but for my small place in the 'burbs it all works great and sure beats having to deal with gas and oil. [Reply]

I've done the same. Started with the blower and was surprised how much I liked it. Then got a trimmer & pole saw. Really like their stuff. [Reply]

I switched to an electric lawnmower and never looked back. I fucking hated all of the upkeep and bullshit that came with a gas powered lawn mower. I can just put this shit away, pull out the battery, put it in the charger and I'm ready to go next time. Doesn't matter how long in between the mower sits. [Reply]
I'm partially in on the electric tool ecosystem. I have the green one, greenworks I think. I started with a chainsaw and honestly, I've yet to run into something it couldn't handle. I have 4 acres to boot, so it gets plenty of use. I added the hedge trimmer and string trimmer. I went gas for my leaf blower though. I had borrowed an electric leaf blower from my dad and went through both batteries before getting 1/4 done with the job, so I made the decision to go with a 2 cycle backpack blower. [Reply]

He mentioned 60V, which would be cordless. Technically you can buy one that's corded (and they're a bit cheaper and lighter), but it's a giant PITA to have to constantly work around the cord. This is the one I have. [Reply]
