Sunlawn Push Mowers

Sunlawn has developed alternatives to the heavy, loud and dangerous lawn mowers being sold today with their new battery-powered Rechargeable Electric EM-2 mowers and Manual Reel LMM and MM-2 push mowers. Without a combustion motor, maneuverability is easy and children and pets can play freely without the risks of burns, flying rocks, and other hazards. Sunlawn mowers feature flame-hardened blades, which don't require sharpening for 7-10 years, and have excellent height range. In addition, Sunlawn's scissor-like cutting effect slices grass into small pieces that emit nitrogen and organically fertilize soil when left behind. No bagging required! Using a push mower helps Dad burn 100 calories in 12-15 minutes. Dad can also tend to his gardening needs any time without disturbing neighbors. Sunlawn is truly the leader in Conscientious Gardening Solutions.

In addition, the Comfort Swing generates a repetitive swinging movement timed to the human heartbeat at rest which studies show reduces stress and promotes relaxation. The Comfort Swing allows the occupant to experience the swinging motion when fully reclined. This is made possible by aesthetically designed handles which are placed on the inside arms of the chair. The mechanism itself utilizes over 30 precision bearings to provide a virtually frictionless motion, therefore, a gentle push or pull with either hand is all that is required to maintain a gentle, restful swinging motion.
