How to choose a gasoline trimmer?

Choosing a gasoline trimmer, it is worth evaluating the following parameters of the future garden helper:

• power - the main criterion of choice, which will affect the speed and efficiency of the device - at the same time, for a rare mowing of paths or the formation of a small dacha lawn is quite enough power in 1 hp, for a more serious and frequent processing of the site it is worth preferring a trimmer with a capacity from 1 to 3 hp, and for cleaning large areas, deadwood, hedges and young shrubs more suitable professional models with a power level exceeding 3 hp
• unit weight - parameter that depends on the selected power - the greater the power indicator, the heavier the device will be, while the minimum weight of gasoline trimmers is about 4-5 kg, and the weight of professional models with extensive functionality may well be up to 10 kg or more;
• engine type - Garden trimmers are powered by two-stroke or four-stroke engines, and the type of motor does not affect the performance of the tool and is determined solely by the wishes of the owner and the purpose of the device: two-stroke engines are unpretentious, have a simple and straightforward device, quite reasonable cost and are very popular among gardeners, but they require a special fuel mixture and high noise level, but less popular four-stroke engines have separate tanks for gasoline and oil
• cutting elements - The simplest models of trimmers are equipped with a fishing line with a diameter of 2 mm to 4 mm, which allows them to cope with soft grass and even dead wood, while more popular are models that are equipped with knives: either inexpensive plastic, the principle of which is comparable to the work of the line, or solid metal, without difficulty removing bushes and young trees; also often found combined models, which allow the owner to choose the cutting element, based on current needs;
• fuel tank capacity - parameter that affects the duration of continuous operation of the device and the frequency and number of refills that will be required during the entire time of its use - models with a liter volume of the tank are considered optimal for domestic use, which does not make the trimmer too heavy, but allows the owner to interrupt work to refuel the device less frequently;
• boom design - The boom can have a curved or straight shape, be assembled or solid, and the curved boom works only with a fishing line, but the straight boom is found in trimmers of any power, including professional models;
• mowing width - The size of the surface that can handle trimmer in one pass - as a rule, this parameter ranges from 21-22 to 55 cm, while it will have a significant value only when performing large amounts of work, such as when preparing hay, but for the classic mowing vegetation along the paths or processing small garden glades value mowing width is not so significant;
• other features - trimmers can be equipped with a comfortable ergonomic handle, often T (U)-shaped or D-shaped, equipped with a shoulder strap and storage bag, have a folding or solid construction, differ in light or heavy weight and have a sufficient number of removable attachments, significantly expanding the functionality of the device.
