<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the past few months I took a couple of risky jumps into the world of high powered battery equipment. My first was a <a href="http://www.gratuitoustech.com/2015/02/ryobi-battery-powered-snow-blower.html" target="_blank">Ryobi Snowblower</a> and the second <a href="http://www.gratuitoustech.com/2015/07/ryobi-40v-lawn-mower-review.html" target="_blank">Ryobi Lawn Mower</a> (Heck I already had the batteries, why not!). Using this high powered battery equipment has really changed my thought process on everything. Ryobi and the other battery equipment manufactures really need to license their tech and let all comers use it. This would entrench their brand and spur a equipment manufacturers to build their own devices. You can look at this much in the same way that Android opened the door to many Hardware manufacturers. Most companies don’t want to deal with the time and energy of creating a new battery standard and messing with the chemicals involved, they just want to create great hardware. </span><br />

Before cell phones and the iPod there were battery standards. “Does your CD player take AAA or AA?” or “Does that boombox take D batteries?” This simple standard opened the door to innovation! You could have manufacturers focus on battery tech and others solve problems with hardware that they could only dream of before. Want one of those new E-Bikes that use pedal assist to help you feel like a beast going up the hills? Just slap in the Ryobi standardized 40V battery pack! Want a go kart? Just slap in a new battery! Camping and need a lantern? You have the battery sitting right there, just pop it in! Coffee maker? Heck if you can get a Snow Blower to throw snow 20 feet in the air for 20 minutes, how many coffees could you make! Need a little extra power for your laptop? Just get the laptop charger attachment! Your whole family and your neighbors families phones all die at once get the 30 port USB adapter! </span></div>

The second you see just how easy it is to pop a battery out and put it back in, you start to see the possibilities everywhere.

<span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px; line-height: 20.2399997711182px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>UPDATE 8/21/2015:</b> Since this article I have mowed my old city lot. The Ryobi mower blazed through the grass with little effort. The Ryobi batteries have four green LED indicator lights that show power usage and after mowing only one of the lights on a single battery had been used. If you have a city lot this is more than enough mower for you!</span><br />

Well, yes, I must admit that I am truly excited about the battery/electric revolution. To my consternation it has been taking much longer than I expected… I always repeat the refrain “Don’t worry, the electric revolution will happen in the next couple of years!” Wholeheartedly believing my own prophecy.
Last winter I dove into the tepid waters of electrification fully expecting to come out holding my head in pain. Luckily my experience with the <a href="http://www.gratuitoustech.com/2015/02/ryobi-battery-powered-snow-blower.html" target="_blank">Ryobi 40V Snowblower</a> met and exceeded my, admittedly low, expectations. It was exciting to see a battery powered product actually work as its gas powered counterpart! Since then I purchased the Ryobi 40V Lawn Mower. After all, the snowblower gave me two batteries that already work with the mower, why not give it a try?</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 20.2399997711182px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px;">Tech reviewers pick on products that use plastic instead of metal. This mower has a plastic housing that may reaffirm the belief that plastic is the inferior material. As part of the design Ryobi left a 4-6” buffer between the front of the mower and where the blade. Having this space makes it impossible to make close cuts when butting the mower up to a tree or a fence. This decision may have been made to ensure that if you slam into a tree you aren’t going to slam the spinning blade through the plastic housing or, possibly, as part of an aesthetic design for the height adjustment for the wheels (when you lower the blade the wheels slide forward). The wheels are not the biggest you can find on a mower but are large enough to take on mildly rugged terrain.

As far as handling is concerned, this mower feels a little mushy. Originally I chalked this up to the plastic build, but after further inspection it appears that the rear wheels flop to the side when turning, making the steering feel sloppy. The bolts don’t have any additional thread to allow a tighter fit and attempting to removing the nuts, to add spacers, the mowers height adjustment just raised to compensate for my torque. I may attempt this again at a later date but it works good enough for now.
The safety release handle is over engineered. It has two paddles, one on each</span></span><br />

side of the power button. It would have been more secure and cheaper to just add the standard metal mower safety bar. This design has a cheap feel and doesn’t allow you to grab the middle of the mower handle, as well.</span></span><br />

Changing the height on my old mowers was time consuming and took wrenches. This additional labor ensured that my old mowers were content with their original height. On the Ryobi it is easy enough that you could change mid-mow with a simple up down motion. The action is smooth and works very well.</span></span><br />

Refueling (battery removal and reinsertion) is very simple and the additional battery holder is very convenient. Some articles complain about the mowers lack of auto switching between batteries. Automatically switching between batteries as they die would be nice but, the ease of pulling out the old battery and putting the new one in really makes this complaint a non issue.
Finally, the quick release folding handles work great! You can just flip the quick release down and the handle folds with ease. The plastic shroud has held up well through use. While mowing I have hit several decent size sticks which made a loud “Thunk” when hitting the shroud. These encounters have not caused any blemishes on the shroud.

My earlier encounter with the Ryobi Snow Blower had raised my expectations for the mower (I mean if you are throwing actual physical mass into the air, cutting a little grass should be easy!) My yard, as with most yards, is MUCH larger than my driveway… that part worried me a little. Since I already purchased the snow blower I already had two batteries so… I should be good… right!?

According to the spec page the two supplied batteries are recommended for ½ acre to 1 acre. I was able to complete most of my .61 acre yard with the provided batteries (depending on the length of the grass). When the grass was regularly mowed (weekly) the mower didn’t really have a problem getting through the yard with two full batteries and about 5 minutes on the third. Just to give you an idea of run time, my full yard takes around 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Many battery powered lawn mowers have been made prior to this one, including a Craftsman mower I used a couple of years ago. The benefit of this Ryobi and other mowers, with the removable battery, is that if you run out of juice, you can always buy another battery!

When mowing through heavy grass the mower has a feature which is really cool… when it works. Mowing regular grass keeps the mower below its peak speed. The lower energy usage ensures that the battery lasts as long as possible. The feature kicks in when you hit tall or thick tufts of grass which rev’s up the blade to a higher speed and helps gets rid of the taller grass. The only problem is that sometimes it is a bit slow to react. This means that when you hit a small patch of heavy grass, the blade won’t rev up until you already passed over the area. This problem compounds you hit patches of grass that go from tall to short back to tall.. Taking this into account, you can slow down when entering the tall areas and you should be ok. When the grass is extremely thick and the mower stays on this higher speed for extended periods of time this can cause the battery to overheat and shutdown as a safety precaution. When this occurs you may wonder if that battery is permanently damaged, this is a temporary issue and once the battery cools down it can be recharged without issue.

To give an idea of how well the batteries do when compared to a conventional lawn mower, my lot requires me to fill up my tank of gas once halfway through the cut and at the end it is pretty low. This mower requires 2-3 battery swaps. This may sound painful but, it is actually much easier than trudging up into the garage, grabbing the gas, walking back (the whole time thinking “I just want to be done with this”), taking off the gas cap, pouring in the gas (missing the hole at first), trying to peer into the hole to make sure you don’t overfill, overfilling because your angle was off, putting the cap back on (Stupid 45 degree angle never threads right!), then setting down the gas can and hoping you don’t forget it when you are done mowing, try to start mower (if it doesn’t, prime and try again). The same process on the Ryobi consists of: Flip up the battery lid, pull out battery 1 and place on top of mower, pull out battery 2 and place in battery 1’s old spot, place battery 1 in battery 2’s old spot, let go of lid, push button to start.

One of the greatest things about an electric mower is that you still hear the world around you. The noise pollution bubble is gone! You hear the birds, the crack of branches under your feet, your neighbor coming on the road behind you on their bike (kind of creepy at first). Overall this makes mowing a much less stressful experience. This is something that you really can’t truly appreciate until you experience it yourself.
Speaking of branches under your feet, my yard is full of them! We had a cottonwood tree that dropped branches like it was playing some kind of sick game with us (“Come on silly human, let's play pickup sticks!”). This allowed me the opportunity to hit tons of sticks with my “Plastic” mower. It normally hits the stick and you hear a hollow thunk followed by the blade cranking up its speed. Closer inspection of the cowel show no signs of fatigue, cracking or any kind of blemish. I am not saying you should turn your mower into a wood chipper, but sticks don’t pose a threat to this mower.

The power and longevity of the mower and its battery impressed me. My expectation was that halfway through my yard the fourth battery would run out (two batteries from the mower purchase and two from my snow blower). Other than the rear wheel sloppiness this mower has served me well. My old gas mower is now relegated to brush hog duty. Being part of the world around me, hearing the birds and sensing my surroundings, as well as the ease of use have been beneficial. Reminding me very clearly the other day was one of my neighbors two houses down They were mowing their lawn and the noise their mower was cranking out was so loud and obnoxious the only clue my mower was running was the slight vibration in the handle. Also, the lack of exhaust fumes from mower makes the job of mowing a little less painful as well (I mean come on, it is still mowing your lawn).
Even though I need to “refuel” more often than with the gas mower, it is much less of an event. Change the battery (which is already in the mower) and and push a button.

This mower has a 20” deck so it is a bit smaller than the standard 22” of my old mower but is still relatively powerful and can handle sticks just as well. If you have a half acre or so yard and want a hassle/oil/gas/goo/noise free mowing experience this is for you. If you are currently entrenched in a different high-voltage (40 or more volts) eco-system such as EGO, ECHO, Worx, Sun Joe, Kobalt or some other manufacturer, I would highly recommend checking out their mowers. The electric revolution has started and this is just the beginning.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>UPDATE: 8/21/2015:</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Since this article I have been sporting the first generation Android Wear LG G Watch. After the experience of the LG G Watch I now believe my outlook on the Pebble to be overly optimistic. I stand by my praise for the battery life but, the functionality of Android Wear makes the Pebble feel more like a glorified pager. Every time you get a message, it just tells you what you will need to do when you take out your phone. Android Wear is much more intuitive and the microphone makes responding much easier. As a disclaimer, I have not had the opportunity to use Pebble's new interface or the Pebble Time, so they may have improved on the experience since this review. It will be hard for Pebble to overcome the natural integration of the Play Store or iTunes on the Apple watch.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>ORIGINAL:</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Even though Apple has been playing catch up lately everyone still seems to think that when Apple enters a new market, they must have been the ones to create that market. A key example is when Apple allowed 3rd party developers the opportunity to use their own keyboards on iOS. This is a feature that has been around on Android for over 6 years and just came out on iOS 7 months ago. This was a huge improvement and it is still functionally impaired compared to the Android implementation. Another example is Apple's new electronic payment system, Apple Pay. When it launched late last year, it was as if they just created this new technology out of no where! In reality Android users had been using this feature (along with other NFC features) since the launch of Google Wallet almost 4 years prior. </span></div>

This clout can hugely increase the potential market and inform users that may not have heard of such a product. Similar to Google Wallet and Apple Pay, Pebble created the first credible smart watch through <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android" target="_blank">kickstarter</a></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and broke records. With the launch of Apple Watch, Pebble’s new <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-awesome-smartwatch-no-compromises" target="_blank">“Pebble Time”</a> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">watch saw a huge spike in sales. Pebble is actually excited to see all of the new potential customers starting to look at their products. </span></div>

Does its age show? Does the black and white screen hurt it? Why would anyone want to get a smart watch in the first place? Man, calm down, we have a whole article! The reason I decided to make this purchase is that I am a geek. I like to keep up-to-date on the latest tech and smart watches are starting to take off so I wanted to see where it started. I also needed to find good answers to the questions above. Plus, Gratuitous Tech needed another review! So I took the dive at the sales price of $79.</span></div>

Don’t worry I hear you. This has to be the hardest question to answer for most users as this device isn’t adding a new fancy piece of technology that can do things your phone can’t. The smartwatch is more of an accessory to your phone. The simplest and best reasons for a smartwatch are checking notifications, viewing your calendar schedule, and… you know… a telling time... Can’t you just do that with your phone!? Yes, but this is about convenience. If you are working out in the yard and you get a notification/phone call, you don’t need to stick your dirt encrusted hands in your pocket to goop up your perfectly clean phone. Just look and your watch and then decide what to do. Say you need to charge your phone but you still want to know if someone calls or messages you. With a smartwatch, your phone could be on the charger and you would still get your notifications (depending on how far your phone is from your watch).</span></div>

I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into with the purchase of the original Pebble. From what I could tell the watch hadn’t changed much since its kickstarter backing. Sure, it looks like a toy, but I could get a new smart watch for $79! How good could the build quality possibly be? Well, from the outset this watch impressed me. The box was very nice and well designed. They showed their intentions clearly on every side of the box. The watch itself is rather large but seems very sturdy but also a bit airy. The buttons are large and easy to press and are kind of spongy but once you get used to the function it feels very natural. The watch face appears fragile but after 4 weeks of daily use (and showers) there has been no fogging and what appeared to be scratches at first was just the paint off the wall that could easily be scratched off. The rounded corners seem to get the most abuse. There haven’t been any scuffs directly over the screen.</span></div>

Samsung has made tons of watches and still has weird snap fittings and this tiny company, Pebble, uses magnets! The charging port is placed rather well too. If you are like me and do a decent amount of work while typing, you could easily have your Pebble charging while still on your wrist. This watch does NOT come with the wall adapter but, it did come with the USB cable. As I have amassed plenty of USB wall chargers this did not bother me. The wrist strap and buckle are much better than I expected. The rubber is very pliable and the buckle appears to be something along the lines of brushed nickel. </span></div>

I was in a new world exploring what was possible. Pushing all of the buttons, looking at all of the settings, searching through the Pebble store. By the way, the first time you go to the Pebble store it is a bit overwhelming. Being so used to the phone stores and the type of applications you would find there, I have become pretty comfortable. The Pebble Store is like a new world of crazy strange things. Watch faces, exercise apps, games, watch face exercise apps, and on and on. </span></div>

I had some weird charging anxiety. The watch seemed like it should be dying and just wanted to “Plug it in to be safe”. It is amazing how much we have come to expect this charging requirement that we live with every day on our phones. In my tests, even though the screen is always on, it got 5 to 6 days of battery life. I would be looking at the watch on day 4 with 40% charge remaining and my brain would be screaming “Dude!!! its at 40%!!! You better charge it, there is NO way you are going to get through the rest of the day!”</span></div>

This, interestingly enough, is one of the coolest uses for this watch! You can see if you have an extra 5 minutes to absorb more of the hot water in the morning. Also, have you ever been in the shower and the phone starts ringing and you rush to get out of the shower just to realize it is {insert less than important person here} and you just hop back in the shower? Well, with this watch, you just look down at your wrist and say “Oh, it’s just {insert less than important person here}, I will call them back later.” and continue with your glorious shower. Wonder what is on your schedule, just look at your watch, no need to leave the warmth. </span></div>

I have had the watch disconnect a couple of times and had to go into the Pebble app on my phone to disconnect and reconnect. This seemed to resolve the connection issue but, that was not very fun. Also, for some reason, the Pebble has three watch faces that are built into the watch. You cannot disable/hide/delete these three faces. This means that if you install one watch face, you will still be have to scroll through 4 (the one you selected and the 3 built in)… kind of weird and annoying if you only have a couple of watch faces that you want to scroll between. From what I can tell, reading the documentation for Version 3.0 of the Pebble software, there may be a completely new user interface which may get rid of these faces. I guess we’ll just need to wait and see.</span></div>

The Pebble Watch is much better than I anticipated. The phone software is nice looking, updates between phone and watch are smooth, the hardware is nice, the usability is great. My biggest issue now are the same things I was worried about when I didn't choose Android Wear, such as the lack of Google Now, GPS Navigation, color and touch screen, dictation, and a more professional look. BUT, the battery life on the Pebble is amazing! I don’t know if I can completely convey how cool it is to forget to charge anything... for a week! Prior to this experiment, I never expected that the Pebble would still be competitive but it is, for now… The Pebble Time should solve some of the concerns I have and retain the same battery life.

<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">About 7 years ago, while working on a GreenerThinking.com article, I purchased a battery powered lawn mower. I thought, “You know, these things are starting to come out, it must be usable…” Well, my hypothesis was wrong… The battery took 18 hours to charge, it only had enough charge to get through half of my yard, and with thicker grass it would start to chug. By the way, my backyard at the time was about the size of a 4 car garage and way smaller in the front. With a regular lawn mower, trimming would take me about 15 minutes and that battery mower </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">couldn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> hack it. It used a lead acid battery which made the mower feel like it was made of cast iron and it was unwieldy to maneuver. Once I finished the backyard I would have to charge the mower for 18 hours before I could work on the front yard. Needless to say, it went back to the store.</span></span></span><br />

When it worked, it worked well, and was extremely quiet! It sounded like a box fan and you could hear the *tick,tickticktick* of the grass actually being cut by the blade. You could hear the birds, you could carry on a conversation with the neighbor, no ear plugs required! As you were strolling through the yard you were experiencing your environment, you </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">weren't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> stuck in a noise bubble, offended by the exhaust. To turn it on, you just push a button and pull up on the handle, and it just works... on the first try! No oil to change, no gas to buy, no maintenance! The whole thing should have turned from a pain in the butt chore to an almost zen-like experience.</span></span></span></div>

Obviously, the negative experience really hurt my willingness to branch out and try new battery powered devices, heck it has been 7 years! After 2014’s crazy snow storms I decided I could not go through another Michigan winter hand shoveling my driveway. I made the decision to get a </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">. I compared different models, talked with many people, and remembered my terrible experiences with gas powered ones in the past. The one thing a gas powered snow blower is good at, is not starting when you need it. You spend an hour fiddling with it, changing the gas, checking the spark plug, yanking on the cord, then usually, for the first snow you just give up, hope you </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> get frostbite, and hand shovel anyway. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Taking all of this into account, I decided to take a risk and purchase the Ryobi 40V battery powered </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">. My expectation was that I would be returning it once I realized that the two supplied batteries </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">couldn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> do half of my driveway. I mean, lofting snow 20-30 feet in the air has to be harder than cutting thin blades of grass with a spinning blade right!? </span></span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>

<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">One thing that appealed to me is how Ryobi handled their conversion from NiCad to Lithium batteries in their power tools. As part of this conversion, Ryobi allowed you to use your old batteries in your new tools and your new batteries in your old tools. Their standardization of batteries and their long support for old standards is one of the biggest reasons I made this choice. Also, last fall I dipped my toe in the water with Ryobi’s 40V Chainsaw (I plan on doing an article on that as well) which worked incredibly well! The beauty is that this new </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> uses the same battery as that chainsaw. Not only would I be adding another great tool (if it worked) but would also be tripling my power for the chainsaw. Also, if this all worked out I had the potential to invest in a Ryobi lawn mower...</span></span></span></div>

Unboxing an appliance quite a different situation, hello floor! The box itself </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">wasn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> particularly significant, everything was packaged well enough.

There is a rubber grommet that looks like it plugs the hole but, you are supposed to shove the rod through the rubber piece. The rubber piece does NOT come out. Other than that, everything went as planned. In the box you will find: 2x 40V batteries, a v</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">elcro</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> bag that allows you to strap the spare battery to the </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">, and a 40V battery charger</span></span></span></div>

The batteries are about the size of a 6” sub sandwich and I was expecting it to plow through a foot of snow on a driveway that can fit 10-12 cars. At the time that seemed like fantasy. The batteries are pretty light and have a power indicator to tell you how much charge you have remaining. The design is robust and solid and have a rubber bumper all around. They seem built to take a significant drop, if necessary.. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is where everything comes together. I will just say it now, this exceeded all of my expectations. I am able to get through my entire 10-12 car driveway, plow 2 extra spots in the grass and do the sidewalk. If I skip the 2 places in grass, my driveway usually takes one battery and then the sidewalk barely uses the second battery. There is no sign that the </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> has a lack of power, the one time it had power issues was the same place a single stage gas powered snow blower would, in dense (moist) deep snow. Only when I tried to plow the 13” snow that had melted to about 8 inches of super heavy and wet snow did I get it to stop the blade. Pull it back and try again and it goes like a champ. When you are in 10-13” snow, the snow is sometimes higher than the </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> itself, and it still throws the snow without a problem. The issue becomes your ability to continue to push it. Once you get the first line (which can be difficult in over a foot of snow) you can plow through subsequent lines without a problem. “Refueling” is as easy as pushing a button pulling out the old battery and inserting the new one... with your gloves ON! To start the blower, just hold the button and pull up the handle, it starts every time. This </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> has headlights, which I used extensively and they worked great. The headlights don’t seem to affect the battery life.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was an exceedingly pleasant experience, it worked much better than expected and the universal battery could be beneficial if you decide to get any of Ryobi’s other tools. With the power that this </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> has it would compare favorably to any single stage blower. The only reservations you should have is if you are accustomed to a self propelled snow blower. This one </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">doesn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> have propulsion and also </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">doesn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> have a blade that hits the ground, so that will not provide additional propulsion. A week after I purchased this package, it dropped $50 from $400 to $350. The s</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">now-blower</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> alone is $279 so with the 2 provided batteries at $350 you are essentially getting a free battery, one at half price and a free charger. It appears as though the battery powered revolution has arrived and I could not be happier!</span></span></span></div>

The Jay Bird seems to meet all of my bullet points: music is awesome, wireless stuff is awesome, built in rechargeable batteries are awesome, taut wires that don’t get in your way are awesome, and beautiful packaging is awesome. So… what’s my problem you ask? Well, user experience and price… Oh wait… I mean, read more to find out why!</span></div>

It is comprised of high quality cardboard with fabric pull tabs and magnetic fasteners. When you open this box you feel like what you are about to pull out is going to be gold plated and diamond studded! The carrying case is extremely well built and contains a magnetic clasp, the USB charging cable looks a bit extreme and rugged, but the headphones themselves are using much cheaper hardware. The ear-buds are rather large to allow for the battery, to be expected. The silver near the rubber ear piece is plastic and the removable cap for accessing the USB charging port is cheap and flimsy feeling. The wire between the ear-buds has a nice feel, pliable and smooth. Included in the packaging are three sizes for both the rubber cones you put in your ears and the boomerang shaped rubber pieces that are intended to hold the ear-buds in your head. This is a nice idea as it allows you to customize each ear independently. There are also 3 clips to allow cinching up the slack in the cable. Sound quality is pretty good… as long as the ear-bud is placed firmly in your ear. When the ear-buds are loose it sounds tinny and lacks bass.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

They connect easily enough using Bluetooth but, after that, your work begins. The whole point of these headphones is to ensure that they stay in your noggin regardless of your activity, heck look at the dude playing as a soccer goalie on the box! After hours of maneuvering the different types of rubber boomerangs and rubber cones I could not get the headphones to stay in my ears for more than a couple of seconds… without me moving at all. This lowered the sound quality tremendously and pretty much ruined my experience. My plan was to use them for jogging, how would they stay in my head while jogging if they attempted to jump to freedom while I'm sitting in a chair! The charging port cover is very flimsy and feels like the clip could break off after a few repetitions. The ear-buds themselves have a cheap feel all around, aside from the wire. There are also many different angles that you have to contend with to ensure that the ear-buds properly enter your ear canal.</span></div>

My initial experience with the unboxing and the quality of the accessories made me think this would be a completely different review. The sound quality and the ear-buds inability to stay in my melon were very disappointing. The Blue Buds X cost $170 and $180 after taxes and at that price the experience has to be amazing!!! Although I appreciate the time and energy spent on packaging and accessories, for the price I expect more energy to be spent on the device itself.</span></div>

Looking at the box doesn’t really change your mind. Nexus packaging has been a <a href="http://www.gratuitoustech.com/2014/12/nexus-player-gets-played-christmas-style.html" target="_blank">highlight</a></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> of purchasing a fresh new Nexus device but, the “Gamepad for Nexus Player” seems to have slipped through the cracks. The box depicts the controller with an orange to red gradient background that goes the top left to the bottom right. The most prominent text on the box is “ASUS” in the bottom right corner. The devices’ name is almost invisible and the unboxing experience is also a bit underwhelming.</span></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">the naming they chose has pigeonholed the controller. I mean it says it right in the name: “Gamepad for Nexus Player”! This is a bluetooth device with all of the appropriate Android buttons and as such should work with any Bluetooth Android device. I have been testing it out on my Shield Portable and it has worked extremely well. If you are a Shield user, note that it doesn’t have a “Start” button. On the Shield the start button is used to enter menu’s of Grid or Gamestream games, it is also nice for emulators on all Android devices.</span><br />

Everyone has their favorite controller so, I </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">added some comparative pictures with some of the more popular controllers available now. In general it has a very similar hand feel as the Xbox 360, along with the battery bump in the back. However, the joystick arrangement and d-pad is closer to the Playstation. The joysticks have some ribs on the surface that give you a nice tactile feel as well as a bit more control in sweaty and intense situations. The buttons have a satisfying click when pushed and the sticks are precise. The L2 and R2 triggers have a nice smooth swing but the springs feel a tad strong for my taste. This is something you would probably only notice in long gaming sessions.</span></span></div>

If this the purpose, it could mean a great step forward for console gaming on Android. One of the biggest issues with games that use the gamepad is that there was no standard to how a controller works and you have to manually map which buttons do which function. On top of that, some apps consider controllers of the same brand, the same controller. If there is now a standard that allows “Player Number” and other things related to controller mapping it could make games for next generation Android games very enjoyable. My experience with the Nexus Player (Android TV) has been very good and once the games start following that trend it will only get better. </span></span></div>

If a controller was made within the last 10 years, it should include a rechargeable battery, do we still live in the stone age!? This gamepad still requires 2 AA batteries. To be fair, I have not burned through the batteries yet, but having disposable power in a controller is still tough for me to swallow.</span></span></div>

I don’t care about the box! I don’t care about the batteries! Is it any good?!” Well, you are in luck, it appears that whatever time they saved in packaging and battery config they used for controller design and it seems to have paid off. The D-pad is tight and works well for your emulator or side scrolling needs. The ribs on the joysticks are a very welcome addition and assist greatly in gameplay. The only issue I had was with the battery bump. When compared to the Xbox 360 controller, the Nexus Gamepad seems to have a bit less space. When I first picked up the Nexus Gamepad my middle finger felt cramped in the tight space. However, after a few hours of <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/243800/" target="_blank">Gas Guzzlers Extreme</a> I was more worried if I was going to be able to beat Ken U. Seeme in the next race. </span></span></div>

In this respect I would say for $40 for this quality it isn’t too bad. The joysticks and buttons all feel nice and smooth. There is no grinding when you spin the joysticks that some cheaper controllers have. The 4 player LED’s may come in handy soon and the additional Android Back and Home buttons are very helpful. The analog triggers are smooth and feel nice, if a little strong. If you only need this for your Shield I would seriously consider the <a href="http://www.gratuitoustech.com/2014/11/nvidias-new-shield-gaming-controller.html" target="_blank">Shield Controller</a> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">but if you want to use the controller on any Android device this is the best option available.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Prior to starting <a href="http://gratuitoustech.com/">gratuitoustech.com</a> we had a Google+ presence. This is where we first showed off our gratuitous pictures. One of our first posts was of the nVidia Shield Portable, it is still one of our favorite purchases. Here is a more in depth look, just in time for Christmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Design/Build Quality</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When nVidia first launched the Shield (now called the Shield Portable) they were mere babies in the consumer hardware business. True, they had made video cards and showed that they were avid gamers but, they hadn’t spend much time on devices you carry in your hand all day. That is one of the things that really surprised me when holding the Shield for the first time. The quality of the controls made the PlayStation 3 controller feel like a toy. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">Having the screen fold down protects both the controls and screen. The visual look of the shield is a tougher sell. The main focal point is the “Shield” on the back of the screen. This is a metallic badge that can be replaced with the design of your choice. nVidia had said that you would need this feature because everyone in your house would own one. Big talk for a device with the launch price of $349. Luckily, it has since had several price drops and now sits at $199 which is a pretty good deal. The D-Pad has a nice feel, however since it has a floating design Fighting games that require precise D-Pad rotation can cause some issues. All of the triggers and buttons feel really nice and have good movement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Experience</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT__sSjMNA3lkD05rymUDEIEruOLH1QI6fUNGH7yEa4ZimT2_kMNnVZOGQSrQjZ45Q2l4vOFfyCtSRLtzaMqltj-OKI-s8voh3_b7O8E5IRB7SkZzR9fnIrr5HK059fKTydHTCH1I6yCFn/s1600/IMG_1469.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT__sSjMNA3lkD05rymUDEIEruOLH1QI6fUNGH7yEa4ZimT2_kMNnVZOGQSrQjZ45Q2l4vOFfyCtSRLtzaMqltj-OKI-s8voh3_b7O8E5IRB7SkZzR9fnIrr5HK059fKTydHTCH1I6yCFn/s1600/IMG_1469.JPG" height="268" width="320" /></a></b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My experience with the Shield has been very surprising… in a good way! Since this was one of nVidia’s first Android devices I was a bit worried about how well they would support this device. Even large, well know, phone manufacturers at the time had trouble keeping their hardware up-to-date. It would have been a pretty big leap to think that nVidia would be able to keep up with Google’s Nexus devices… but that is what they have done so far!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the greatest innovations in the Shield is the controller mapping. As you know, not all (or many for that matter) support controllers by default. Most games were designed with smart phones in mind with their touch screen interfaces. The Shield allows you to map hotspots on the screen to physical buttons on the controller. This is actually a very responsive and well thought out interface. It actually makes me sad that the Nexus Player and its lack of this functionality. The implementation is amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing that the Shield allows is the streaming of PC games. They have implemented this in two different ways. One is a service called Grid which is almost a Netflix for games. They give you the following games for free until June 30th 2015:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alan Wake American Nightmare</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Astebreed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Batman: Arkham Asylum</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Batman: Arkham City</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Batman: Arkham Origins</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Borderlands</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Borderlands 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brutal Legend</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Darksiders</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Darksiders 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dead Island</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dirt 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lego Batman 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lego Marvel Super Heros</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lego Batman</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">PixelJunk Monsters</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Psychonauts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Race Driver Grid</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Red Faction: Armageddon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Saints Row: Row The Third</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stacking</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Street Fighter X Tekken</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Strike Suit Zero</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Trine 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ultra Street Fighter IV</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There isn’t really anything that tells you the price after June 30th. I have used the service and it works extremely well. Kind of sad that it will only be free for a little while longer but, they have to make money some how, I guess…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The other way to stream games is directly through your PC. This mirrors your PC screen to your Shield. One of the latest Shield updates made it so you can use Keyboard and mouse, get your Diablo III and Starcraft II fingers ready!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Along with all of the PC streaming, don’t forget you can also play all Android games, and usually much more satisfyingly, with the controller mapping tool. This includes anything on the Play Store (Or Amazon, if you are into that sort of thing), including your favorite emulators! There is a large selection of great emulators that cover anything from the NES, Turbo Grafx 16, to the PlayStation and Dreamcast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With all of this fun they give you a very good battery. I was stuck at an airport for around 8 hours playing the Shield and the battery didn’t die, I actually just stopped playing when I got on the plane due to gaming over saturation...sitting that long is pushing my limits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Overall</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Shield Portable at $199 is a steal (or $139.99 at <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/android/tablets/nvidia-shield-16gb/109517">gamestop</a> right now!). The battery life is amazing. Plugging in an HDMI cable converts it into a home gaming console and when you buy the <a href="http://www.gratuitoustech.com/2014/11/nvidias-new-shield-gaming-controller.html">Shield controllers</a> it completes the experience. The Grid service is awesome, the PC streaming is cool, but not plug and play. I am sure it will get better over time. The ability to use emulators and the SD Card slot is more than you could ask for. If you were looking to get a Wii U, PlayStation Vita, 3DS or 2DS I would highly recommend looking at this as an alternative.</span><br />

The pizza is just one of those foods that no matter what, it always sounds good. The ability to easily swap toppings, cheese and sauce, makes it one of the most versatile foods ever made. The history of this ingenious food is irrelevant. You see, that is the problem with all of those soups, and noodle dishes. No swappable toppings! It's 2014! All toppings should be swappable by now! If you are a vegetarian, carnivore, or you are just more into fungus (mushrooms) there is a pizza for you! What I’m most concerned with here is the textures, smells (sorry, no smell-o-vision yet) and taste (also, nothing I can do for you).<br />

<br />
The pizza in question is the round Highland House Cafe pizza. They make a delicious crust and amazing bread sticks. While this is a tech blog and our focus is on the finer aesthetics of electronics and the such, we are also light hearted and love pizza as much as tech. So sit back and enjoy, because we sure did.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Christmas coming there are tons of new devices vying for your money and one is the new Nexus Player. You may be asking questions like: Should I buy the Nexus Player? Should you take out a new mortgage or sell off my kids to pay for it? Well, that is for you to decide! On the second question, you may need to revisit your parental training but, valid question, at $100 you should be able to keep your kids.</span><br />

Every time you get a Nexus device, it is like opening a Christmas present. Google makes sure to put little flairs throughout. This box has an embossed "P" on the inner white box. These subtle little touches make you feel like an explorer who just discovered a new bird species. Quality packaging always makes the product feel more polished. Apple has been doing these little tricks for years and now others are starting to see the benefits.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Nexus Player is an incredibly well built piece of hardware. Its understated design works well for the intended use, sit in your entertainment center and draw little attention to itself. My black entertainment center almost makes it disappear. Correctly described as a “Puck” across the internets. The Player is a bit larger in diameter then a hockey puck and has a nice dense heft that is reminiscent of a hockey puck. The topside has very clean lines without any seams which flow nicely to the underside. When flipped over there is an understated LED that shows when the device is powered and gives a nice low glow. A section carved out on the underside allows for the power and HDMI cable insertion. There should be no reasonable expectation of this but, it would have been cool if when placing the Nexus Player on its “rim” it would balance so that the cable inputs would point straight up instead of at an angle. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Remote is light weight, almost to the point of feeling hollow. However, the buttons feel nice and have a satisfying click. A nifty LED/Microphone combo decision placed an LED in a circle with the Microphone hole in the center. Very cool design! The remote is Bluetooth so you don’t need line of sight. This should allow you to tuck the player deep inside your entertainment center without a problem. Funny side note, even though you know it is Bluetooth, you still find yourself pointing it in the direction of the TV.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Experience</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heads up for those who would like to use the OTG (On The Go) USB Cable, be sure not to get one with the right angle plug as it will not fit. The user experience is extremely good, smooth, no lag, and fluid animations. There is currently a lack of apps/games you can access through the Play Store on the console. This is good… and sad. It is good because the apps that are not listed may not completely work with the D-pad (I side-loaded some to see) but, sad because Android’s ecosystem is so vibrant and all you get is this puny selection… <b>TIP: </b>Some apps can be installed through the Play Store on your computer's web browser. It is kind of hit and miss, so you will have to look at each app. If you plan on this, I would highly recommend getting a mouse. Another negative is the storage, at 8 GB this is tiny! I can only hope that an update to the Nexus Player is for external storage. Luckily the gameplay experience is superb! Playing games on the Nexus Player is fantastic and as more apps implement full controller support this will only get better. I used the Game Stop Red Samurai Android controller and it worked perfectly. We weren't able to purchase the Nexus Players Game controller for this test, hopefully we will be able to cover that in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Overall</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Nexus Player was an amazing experience with the available apps/games and a great design. It also works well as a Chromecast. </span><br />

With the launch of their new tablet they are attempting to expand their gaming audience. This new tablet form factor is a universally accepted form factor that could allow for adoption of their new mobile chips by even non gamers.</span></div>

It features WiFi Direct connectivity. This should allow for lower latency (faster) controls and decrease reaction time. Along with WiFi Direct it also includes a microphone, touchpad for cursor movement, volume buttons (which can also mute/unmute), a headset jack, and the standard Android home </span></div>

Once connected the app remains in the status bar to show your current battery percentage.</span></div>

One problem though… it only works on the Shield Tablet and the Shield Portable right now. Luckily Nvidia’s gaming consoles are exceptional enough to warrant spending the money on these controllers. Hopefully, Nvidia will open up their app to allow these controllers to work on any Android device… Given that Nvidia’s motivation is to push sales of their new Processors it is unlikely we would see that shift any time soon though.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The images we have for you today are of the Shield Controller and its packaging. Nvidia really did a good job making the package feel like opening a birthday present. The craftsmanship is superb! The only issue that I can see is that the touchpad is a bit small and the volume buttons build quality doesn’t match the quality construction of rest of the controller. The buttons all have the appropriate amount of click and the triggers are smooth and consistent. The triggers are actually shaped in a way that they fit your pistol grip nicely. They actually feel nicer than the Xbox triggers.</span><br />

You MUST see the Grand Canyon to really experience how vast and incredibly large it is. You know that image you have of the Grand Canyon in your mind? Quadruple it, yeah, that is about the right size. Anyway, we went to the Grand Canyon and took some great pictures, learned some interesting facts. Next we went to the Hoover Dam, you could clearly see the effects of west coast <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/06/us/colorado-river-drought-forces-a-painful-reckoning-for-states.html?_r=0">drought</a>. </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">See that white area on the mountain, that is the loss of water… standing and looking down over the edge of the Hoover Dam you will gladly admit the drop is a bit too far to fall.</span></span></div>

We are from Michigan, our idea of a great time is to go up north on the weekends, swimming, and water skiing. Once in the parking lot it was easy to see that a small walk to the beach had increased to a two football field hike to get to the waters edge! Some of the smaller mountain peaks were completely exposed when they had previously been covered by the water. </span></div>

On our way we found some of those 80’s sunglasses completely covered in muscles and several other random artifacts that had fallen off of boats through the years. As we explored more we came across something that was shaped like a camera but its form was hard to make out. The muscles had consumed the entire camera! As I peeled off the muscles like wrapping paper I noticed it was much smaller than I expected! It was a Go Pro Hero 3! The GoPro always looked like an interesting product but never enough to throw down my money. This experience changed my mind.</span></div>

(It was already wet, no harm done) There is no way that this camera would still work, right!? I tore it apart and cleaned the circuit board, pulled out the SD Card, removed the battery and disassembled one piece at a time. Once all of the crud was removed and the camera was dried out I plugged it in just for kicks… It’s going to spark and poof in smoke, or nothing will happen, I mean look at the pictures! The USB port is still caked in gunk. On came the charging LED! Crazy! I let it charge for a day or so, no smoke, that's was good. When turned on that little screen blinked on, it has quite a bit of info! Too bad though, it only stayed on for about 5 seconds… I was too close now, a new battery was ordered! This fixed the problem, the camera works great, except for sound… the Microphones were completely destroyed from its months of submersion. </span></div>
