How to choose an electric lawn mower
We have presented the top 10 best electric lawn mowers of 2022. We hope that this material will help you get your idea of these garden tools. Garden equipment sales consultant Alexander Kulikov Learn how to choose the best lawnmower.
Main producers
The most popular products are brands such as Bosch, Bison, Gardena, Hammer, Makita, Caliber, Greenworks. There are also good options from other companies – Enkor, Stavr, Daewoo, Denzel, Patriot. The plant where the lawn mower was made is important, but not a decisive factor when choosing. Often, a cheap model has good quality and performs its tasks well.
Ejection of grass
There are three ways to remove grass clippings:
- with accumulation in the grass-catcher;
- side discharge;
- mulching.
Side discharge is suitable for areas with heavy vegetation. Tall stems go to the side and do not delay lawn mowing. The presence of such a function as mulching means grinding and ejecting grass to the surface of the treated area. In this case, the model must have a high power.
Power
This parameter directly affects the performance of the mower. In the course of the model with a power of 300 to 3000 watts. With more power, the device heats up faster, it is important to know the time of continuous operation. On average, it is 30 minutes. If the plot area is up to 400 m², then the suitable power is 0,9 kW, up to 1200 m² – 1,8 kW. If you want to clear the area of large grass, then the best option is 2 kW.
Grass collector
How much grass cuttings it can hold depends on the volume. It also affects the duration of the work. If we are talking about a small lawn, with constant care, then in this case a grass collector with a minimum volume is suitable. If this is a country plot of a large area, then it is necessary to choose a volume from 25 to 80 liters. Grass collectors are of two types:
- tough – easier to turn over to get rid of mowed grass.
- soft – it is more difficult to remove the mowing due to squeezing by the sidewalls made of a fabric base.
Source of power
Power sources for electric lawn mowers are:
- network 220 V;
- Battery;
- both network and battery.
Battery capacity can vary from 1,6 to 6 Ah, and voltage from 12 to 82V. Battery models are convenient, but capacity must be considered. If it is not enough to cut the grass on the entire site, then you will have to spend time charging.
