BOLINGBROOK, IL (September 28, 2009) - In an on-going effort to help make the world a little greener, MowersDirect.com now offers an expanded lineup of eco-friendly lawn mowers, featuring everything from classic reel push mowers to state-of-the-art electric mowers and even a few robotic mowers.

In addition to an eco-friendly rating, the lineup boasts some of the industry’s most reliable names: Brill, Earthwise, Great States, Sun Joe, LawnBott and Worx.

To make the buying process easy, MowersDirect.com also gives you the benefit of side-by-side comparisons to ensure you get the right mower for your money, your needs and the environment.

The estimated 54 million Americans mowing their lawns each weekend with gas-powered mowers may be contributing as much as five percent of the nation’s air pollution, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Electric Power Research Institute of Palo Alto claims that replacing half of the nearly 1.3 million walk-behind gas mowers used in the United States by electric or reel mowers would eliminate the equivalent hydrocarbon emissions of 2 million cars. To that end, mowersdirect.com is committed to doing its part by offering its customers a variety of eco-friendly options.

Power Equipment Direct operates 10 niche online superstores. In addition to MowersDirect.com, the Bolingbrook, IL-based company operates AirCompressorsDirect, ChainSawsDirect, ElectricGeneratorsDirect, LogSplittersDirect, PressureWashersDirect, SnowBlowersDirect, SumpPumpsDirect, TillersDirect and WaterPumpsDirect.
