Lawn Care Assistants - Electric Lawn Mowers

An electric lawn mower differs from its gasoline counterpart in several ways. When choosing an electric lawn mower, you should pay attention to the type of electric motor, the presence of a temperature sensor and the power of the engine.

The advantages of electric lawn mowers include the low noise level of the electric motor.

Due to the fact that the body of the electric lawnmower is made of polymers rather than metal like the body gasoline lawn mower, the weight of the appliance is significantly less, which provides good maneuverability when working on a site with difficult terrain. The use of inexpensive materials in the body of electric lawn mowers has allowed manufacturers to reduce the cost of the finished appliance. Electric lawn mowers are more compactthan gasoline ones, in addition, all the components of such lawn mowers are removable parts. This saves storage space.

The disadvantages of an electric lawn mower include low power compared to gasoline counterparts and the fragility of the body. Also, an electric lawnmower is mains-dependent and can only work within a limited radius of the wire. During work, care must be taken that the wire does not get under the blades of the knives.

Electric lawn mowers are suitable for small areas. This is offset by a wide range of additional functions, such as soil mulching. In addition, the engine of an electric lawn mower, unlike a gasoline mower, does not need to be filled with oil or cleaned the air filter.

How to choose the right electric lawn mower

Manufacturers produce self-propelled and non-self-propelled lawn mowers. Self-propelled lawn mowers are more expensive as they are equipped with a drive. Front-wheel drive lawnmowers are more maneuverable, but the center of gravity of the machine shifts when the bag is full. Self-propelled lawnmowers with rear-wheel drive are suitable for working in areas with bumpy terrain. For more maneuverability and stability, choose a lawnmower with large rear wheels. To prevent the blades from touching uneven terrain, manufacturers produce lawn mowers with adjustable cutting height. Also pay attention to the volume of the collection box. It ranges from 26 to 75 liters. The plastic grass catcher is the most convenient to wash, the soft with a hard top - to empty. The soft grass catcher is lightweight but cannot be emptied without removing it from the mower body.
