Electric Mower, Yard Tool & Gas Equipment Rule Watch

Why this is recommended

A $150 utility rebate on an electric mower, a leaf blower ban with a $250 fine that starts next month, an EGO mower at its all-time low the week before the member buys, or a battery platform that raised its prices 20 percent each pay the membership in one purchase.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 90 million households with a lawn, every landscaper and every homeowner about to buy a mower in April.

When it runs

Retailers discount yard tools before spring weekends and states set gas equipment rules with effective dates

Scope

Gas leaf blower, mower and small engine bans and restrictions by state, city and HOA; utility and air district rebates for electric yard tools; EGO, Ryobi, Greenworks, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Husqvarna, Stihl, Toro, Kobalt and Worx prices and all-time lows on models rated highly by Consumer Reports and Wirecutter; battery platform compatibility and pricing; Husqvarna, Segway, Worx, Ecoflow and Mammotion robot mowers; CPSC and EPA gas equipment recalls and emission rules; trade-in and buyback programs; commercial landscaper compliance deadlines

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Gas leaf blower and mower bans and restrictions by state and city with effective dates and fines, electric mower, blower, trimmer and snow blower rebates from utilities and air districts, price drops and all-time lows on top-rated battery tools from EGO, Ryobi, Greenworks, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Husqvarna and Stihl, battery platform compatibility and price changes, robot mower launches and deals, gas equipment recalls and emission rule changes, trade-in and buyback programs and landscaper compliance deadlines, with the city, program or product first and the price or fine in the title.

Track yard equipment rules and pricing in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: gas leaf blower, mower and small engine bans, restrictions and fine rules passed or taking effect by state and city; utility and air district rebates for electric mowers, blowers, trimmers and snow blowers with amounts and windows; all-time-low or 25 percent off prices on models rated highly by Consumer Reports and Wirecutter from EGO, Ryobi, Greenworks, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Husqvarna, Stihl, Toro, Kobalt and Worx; battery platform compatibility and price changes; robot mower launches, deals and recalls from Husqvarna, Segway, Worx, Ecoflow and Mammotion; CPSC and EPA gas equipment recalls and emission rule changes; trade-in and buyback programs; and commercial landscaper compliance deadlines. Prefer state and city ordinances, air districts, utilities, manufacturer and retailer pages, price-history tools, CPSC and established home reporting; ignore affiliate roundups without price history. Put the city, program or product first in the title with the price, rebate or fine and the date. Use high severity for a ban taking effect within 90 days in a metro over one million people, a rebate of $100 or more, or an all-time low on a top-pick mower. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
