If you are the owner of a suburban area and want to have a beautiful lawn, first of all, take care of grass mowing tools. And no other mechanism can cope with this task like a lawn mower. Now the Russian market has a huge assortment of similar equipment from Germany, the USA and especially China. And in order not to get lost in this sea of goods, you need to know in advance certain selection criteria for these devices. So, how to choose a lawn mower?
Pay attention to the type
At the moment, there are 2 main classifications of such devices by type of power :
- Gasoline.
- Electric lawn mowers.
By design, there are 2 devices for quick mowing of herbs:
- Trimmers.
- Wheel lawn mowers.
How to choose the right mechanism?
Of course, the most inexpensive option for courting a lawn is to purchase a trimmer. This is a long rod, at one end of which there is a mowing line and a small motor, and at the other end there are handles for easy holding. The trimmer motor is located directly above the fishing line. As a rule, these mechanisms are used in the processing of small land plots. Mowing grass over a large area does not allow the motor itself to be produced, namely its power. Also, the main drawback of these devices is their dependence on electricity - during operation you will constantly have to drag the extension cord along with you. Therefore, in order not to get entangled in the wires, as is often the case when mowing grass, experts recommend purchasing gas trimmers, which, unlike electric ones, can work in any weather conditions. Here, when buying, pay special attention to the power of the lawn mower.
How to choose a device for uneven areas?
If the surface of your lawn is too embossed, for such cases it is best to purchase a mechanism with the engine located on top. Such lawn mowers (how to choose them, the tips of our article will help) can eat from the mains (again, depending on the wires and weather conditions). But there is a more convenient option - on gasoline. Unlike wheeled devices, manual mechanisms can be used in almost any terrain, and they have much more power. And if you decide to buy just such a gas or electric lawn mower, first of all pay attention to its weight, since such a device is one of the heaviest in the entire assortment. What other nuances should I pay attention to and what lawn mower to choose?
Consider a wheeled version
This type of device can also operate from two sources of energy - electricity and gasoline, depending on the type of engine. These lawn mowers are a small trolley with high handle. The main advantage of the device is that during operation you do not hold it in your hands, as is the case with the trimmer, but simply push along the perimeter of the lawn. However, it should be noted that this type is the most expensive and is suitable only for a flat surface.
As you can see, there are various lawn mowers on the market. How to choose the right option? Just weigh all the pros and cons, and also consider the conditions for their future operation (terrain and area of the lawn) and, depending on this, select the desired unit.
