A green cozy lawn in front of the house is not a picture from a booklet about gardening, it is an achievable thing, you just need to make some efforts and get the right equipment. As for the latter, let's decide on preferences. Of course, buying a lawn mower is not a problem, but are you sure of its necessity? Maybe you better look after your trimmer? Electric, with or without a knife, he can handle the processing of a small area of green space. At the same time, it will bypass your precious berry plants, flower beds, garden paths.
Why aren’t we considering gasoline engines of this type here? They just have a number of disadvantages. The first is an impressive price, the second is noise, the third is dubious environmental friendliness. Still, when using an internal combustion engine, exhaust cannot be avoided.
An electric trimmer with a knife will cost much less, it makes less sounds, and you do not need to prepare a fuel mixture for it. However, absolutely no flaws here also could not have done.
But first things first. To begin with, we will deal with types of aggregates. There are designs in which the engine is located below. Such models are in the lower price range. But, like any budget device, it is not ideal. The engine has low power, which entails restrictions in the configuration in which the electric trimmer is sold. A fishing line (a knife is not provided for such models) can tame only soft grass, it is better not to test it on something tougher. It is very dangerous to use the unit immediately after rain.
Are you already worried about dubious savings when buying this class of devices? Then take the model more expensive. Top engine designs are more powerful. Such an electric trimmer with a knife (replaceable, metal) will deal with any weeds, lush thickets of weeds and will not stop even before thin shoots of bushes. Wet grass from dew is also not a contraindication for the use of the unit, unless in heavy rain it is impossible to work with it. The maneuverability of the device adds a special D-shaped handle. For heavy units, an additional T-handle is provided.
An electric trimmer with a knife is limited only by the radius of the extension cord. But here there is an alternative solution. Devices equipped with a battery are devoid of this drawback. The batteries last for almost five hours of a leisurely mowing of lawns, and the presence of a second battery stretches this pleasure twice. While one is on recharge, you are actively exploiting the other.
Device designs are similar to network models. Actually, they also inherit flaws with advantages from the above.
The electric trimmer with a knife has proven itself to be a reliable machine, characterized by a long service life and the ability to maintain a decent lawn in a small area, even reaching difficult places, for example, penetrating under benches. The main thing is to choose the right model, minimizing possible design flaws.
