Comparison of gasoline and electric trimmer

Electric trimmer features
Such a unit is a hand mower, which operates on mains or battery power. Good reviews are purchased models from Black & Decker or SKIL.
The main parameter determining the feasibility of the purchase is power. In this case, it starts with 250 watts and more. But modern manufacturers do not stand still - today you can buy trim models from 800 W and more.In this case, the device is completed top engine.
The second important criterion is cutting element. For most of these trimmers, it is represented by a reel with a fishing line. But in parallel, there are models that are additionally equipped with a knife - in this case, they use a straight rod.
Among the main advantages are:
- small weight (even a teenager can work with a trimmer);
- budget cost (high-quality equipment can already be purchased from 2000 rubles);
- quick and clear start;
- small noise and vibration in the work;
- environmental friendliness;
- easy storage
However, there are significant drawbacks:
- network options have a dependence on the cord and socket (it is impossible to work in large areas);
- not suitable for grass after dew (danger of closure);
- a small functional (not all vegetation lends itself to such mowing);
- more frequent breakdowns than the gasoline counterpart.
Features of gasoline trimmers
If you take this device in hand, you can immediately notice the difference: its weight is much more tangible than the electrical version. True, this figure will depend on what volume of the tank with a trimmer: models for 0.5 liters, 1 liter and 1.5 liters are usually found. Can recommend the company Kawashima, Kasei, Dolmar, Stihl.
The power of such a unit ranges from 1 kW to 2.5 kW, but for homework it is quite possible to choose models with a power of 1 kW - 1.5 kW.
Types of engines
Also in the gasoline model uses two types of engines. AT push pull High-octane gasoline is poured in proportions with special oil. AT four stroke option both of these components are poured separately. The power in this case becomes greater, and the noise, oddly enough, less.

Rod type
The type of bar is important: it can be straight or curved. Preferably the first option - in this case, the torque will be transmitted from the engine to the gearbox through a hard and straight rod. It is much more reliable than a plastic bent cable that can easily tear at a bend.

In addition, the bar happens folding and not folding. In the first case, the equipment will cost a bit more expensive (the difference is only 400 rubles), but the advantage will be obvious only when transportation is necessary.
Nozzles
Be sure to consider the cutting element.In most cases used as forest reel (cord) and knife (usually with two or three petals): fishing line is useful for working with grass, and the knife is needed for large weeds.
Another interesting tip - disk, looks like a circular saw (the same set of teeth). This device is already great not only for grass and weeds, but even for small tree trunks.
Pros and cons of the benzotrimmer
The main advantages of the benzotrimmer are:
- mobility of use (you can leave to work even in the field);
- the ability to increase functionality (for example, a rotor head can be used even for cutting small trees, in other cases it is really possible to remove snow);
- work with large areas;
- excellent performance.
Among the disadvantages prevail:
- high cost of consumables (it is required to constantly purchase fishing line, knives, oil, gasoline);
- expensive repair in case of breakage;
- harmful emissions;
- availability of technical skills for working with the device;
- high noise level in comparison with electric analogs (it is necessary to work in headphones).
What to choose
In order to finally decide what is still better to buy for use in your household - gasoline or electric units, you should compare how much a particular trimmer model suits you.
If the purpose of the purchase is the processing of large areas with dense and neglected vegetation, then, of course, the choice is to stop on the gasoline version. Similar advice is also suitable for those who are going to do grass mowing professionally.
For giving with a small site it is possible to stop on electric model.
Regarding reliability of useIt can be assured that the producers of both sides are thinking about this issue. Here I would like to advise you not to neglect the protective kozhuzhs at work, and to give preference to designs with a straight barbell - the option with a bent moment will not even have a gearbox.
When it comes to budget opportunities consumer, the petrol version is 2-3 times more expensive than its electric counterpart: the simplest and most low-power model will cost from 6000 rubles. But a decent battery electrovariant is quite possible to purchase at a price of 4,000 rubles.
Convenience of operation suggests that the device will always have to carry, and it is quite heavy. The model working on the battery will weigh already 4-5 kg (in comparison with the network standard ones from 1.5-3 kg), and its productivity will be much less than the same by the weight of the gasoline counterpart.
Use implies and certain service - This applies to both petrol and electric models. But still, in the case of a gasoline engine, the situation is complicated by caring for its different components (for example, the gearbox requires constant grease lubrication of the Husqvarna brand). And for refueling two-stroke engine can not use oil from water and motorcycle vehicles.
In general, the selection criteria must be considered individually. Only in this case, the user will be able to choose a really optimal option for himself.
