How to choose an electric trimmer?

Trimmer (motorized mower) - a device with high efficiency, maneuverable and simple in design, is a long rod with a moving head at the end, as well as a motor and a protective cover. Electric models do not emit toxic gases into the atmosphere, they are almost silent and very compact due to the absence of bulky parts (the same gas tank, for example). Consider the following when choosing:

• Power source: The unit can operate either on battery or mains power. Batteries (lithium-ion) cannot boast of great power and long working time, but they are suitable for mowing soft grass, and it is convenient to use them in greenhouses. The mains ones require a socket nearby and an extension cord if the original cord is too short. You can not use these models when it rains.
• There is also a division into groups according to power: low-power devices up to 500 watts, medium-power devices from 550 watts to 1500 watts, and powerful from 1500 to 300 watts. The first are designed exclusively for decorative care (lawns, flower beds), the second copes with dense vegetation, the third - professional models for large areas of complex landscaping.
• Inner shaft: Rigid or flexible. Rigid is better to withstand loads, more durable, but the boom can only be straight in this case. If you are more comfortable with a curved form - choose a device with a flexible cable.
• Place of installation of the electric motor: The model, in which the motor is located in the lower part, is more maneuverable, lightweight and comfortable for the hands. Of the disadvantages: you can not use the trimmer on wet grass (rain, dew), also lower performance. The motor in the upper part impairs maneuverability (such models are equipped with special belts), but the performance is higher and the service life is longer.
• Cutting element: fishing line, three-beam knife, plastic knife, disk knife. A plastic knife and a fishing line are enough for ordinary work in the countryside.
• Handle shape: U-shaped resembles a bicycle handlebar and is the most comfortable. D-shaped handle is convenient for work in narrow spaces. T-shaped handle allows you to make sprawling movements.
