If you ask a hundred people to name a gardening tool, I bet a power grass trimmer is one of the best answers, right there, there are shovel and rake. Cordless electric lawn mowers have been around for many years and are still popular among the general population, but we are seeing more and more people choose to use cordless or gasoline lawn mowers instead of corded lawn mowers. There are many reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is that battery technology has improved a lot in recent years, which makes cordless mowers a more practical choice than in the past. Another reason is that more and more companies are producing gasoline lawn mowers, which can now be purchased without selling kidneys or mortgages. Therefore, for lawn mowers that do not need to be plugged in, we basically have two options, but which one is best for you? Today, we will compare the price and performance of gasoline and cordless lawn mowers for you, hoping that it will make your decision easier. It seems that someone has made up his mind-- How do gasoline lawn mowers and cordless lawn mowers compare in terms of price? If we are only talking about the initial price tag, then I have to say that in general, cordless lawn mowers are slightly more expensive than gasoline engines. This is because cordless machines run on lithium-ion batteries, and they are not the cheapest thing in the world. If you do see cordless lawn mowers that are sold at very low prices, you should carefully check the batteries that come with the machine, because some cordless lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, trimmers, etc. are only sold as hosts without batteries and chargers. When calculating costs, we must also consider how much it will cost to keep the machine running. For any gasoline-powered tools, such as lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and high-pressure washers, always consider fuel costs, as well as spark plugs and oil. Because of these additional costs, the overall cost of a cordless lawn mower and a gasoline lawn mower are closer. Of course, you have to charge the lithium-ion batteries of cordless lawn mowers, but they are very efficient nowadays, and the cost of fully charging the batteries is much lower than filling the tank with a mixture of gasoline and oil to run a two-stroke engine. If you want to understand the difference between 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines, please take a minute or two to watch an informative and interesting video on the subject- Cutting performance-how does a cordless lawn mower compare with a gasoline lawn mower? I said that this is a comparison of chainsaws, leaf blowers, trimmers, log separators, and almost every other type of garden power tool I have written: You can’t beat a gasoline engine to get raw power. Lawn mowers are no exception. If you are really looking for the most powerful model you can buy, a gasoline lawn mower is your ideal choice, but you have to ask yourself if you really need all these features. Most modern cordless lawn mowers have enough capacity to handle overgrown grass. The only time I say you need more "grunts" is if you leave the garden in months of neglect and become After the jungle, we must now deal with grass above the knee. Robot lawn mowers are new members of the entire lawn mower series, and although they look great and save time, they may struggle on longer grass. Having said that, you may have some particularly thick grass and weeds that need to be removed. Gasoline lawn mowers will be a better choice, and many gardeners also believe that gasoline lawn mowers can better cut the cut grass clippings. Divide into smaller pieces to form an ideal covering, much like a paper shredder. If you experience problems with wet leaves falling on the lawn in the fall, and you don't have a leaf sucker or leaf blower, you may need a gasoline lawn mower to help care for these leaves while cutting the leaf grass. Which is more suitable for large lawns? Although battery technology has improved significantly in recent years, you may still find that it is difficult to get more than one hour of runtime on a single charge. Now, you can charge the second battery while using the first battery, thereby extending the working time, but as mentioned earlier, these batteries are not cheap. Due to the limitation of lithium-ion batteries, I have to say that gasoline lawn mowers are a better choice for taking care of large lawns. A full tank of gasoline should help you complete large-scale mowing work without stopping to refuel, which will allow you to complete the work faster. Which is better for smaller lawns? If you have a small lawn, or a medium-sized lawn with many obstacles (such as garden furniture, sheds, etc.), cordless lawns may be a better choice because they tend to be much lighter and or more flexible. A fully charged battery should be enough to complete small and medium-sized lawns with a cordless lawn mower, so there is really no practical advantage to using larger and heavier tools (such as gasoline lawn mowers) for this type of work. This is a working cordless lawn mower, so you can see that when the battery is charging, the performance is actually very good- Comparison of noise, vibration and smoke between gasoline and cordless lawn mowers All power tools produce some noise and vibrations, but their levels can vary greatly, from soft hums and almost massage-like vibrations to deafening noises and rumblings that make your teeth loose. Fortunately, for lawn mowers, these problems are not as serious as some other tools, but they are not entirely without problems. In particular, the engine of a gasoline lawn mower generates considerable noise and vibration, as well as gasoline and oil fume that follow. Most cordless lawn mowers run quieter and have less vibration, and because they are electric, they do not produce any smoke when cutting grass. The absence of smoke obviously means that they are better for your health and the environment, so this is always something to consider. Easy to use and maintain comparison Since they are designed for the masses, cordless mowers are very easy to install and use. Assembly is usually kept to a minimum, using a situation where you can usually leave by just pressing the correct button. When you also own a cordless lawn mower, almost no maintenance is required. Of course, you should keep it clean and make sure the blades are sharp, but they are relatively simple compared to gasoline lawn mowers. Gasoline engines require maintenance and regular service to keep running. Replacing spark plugs, inspecting filters, cleaning and replacing fuel lines are all important parts of owning a gasoline lawn mower. However, I have to say that if you maintain your gasoline lawn mower properly and it is really not that difficult, then you will have a tool that will allow you to mow the lawn happily in the next few years. In contrast, the batteries of cordless lawn mowers and cordless hovering lawn mowers can only be used for about 3 years before they need to be replaced, and if there is a problem with the electrical components, most people don’t know how to DIY repair and need a professional look. Final thoughts Cordless lawn mowers have many advantages. They run quieter than gasoline engines, generate less vibration, and emit zero smoke. They are lighter and more flexible, so the heavier gasoline version makes it easier to bypass obstacles and strangely shaped lawns. However, the operating time is limited to battery charging, which actually only makes them suitable for small and medium lawns, unless you want to spend more money on spare batteries. There are some steps you can take to extend battery life, as you can see from this video- If you own a larger property or want something for commercial use, you really need a gasoline lawn mower. Compared to using a cordless lawn mower, filling the water tank allows you to work longer, and the extra power is ideal for thicker and longer grass and leaves. The disadvantages of gasoline lawn mowers are the same as gasoline tillers, garden shredders and any other tools. We will of course talk about additional noise, vibration and smoke, but if you spend a little more money and buy a higher-level machine from a trusted brand, these problems will usually be controlled and reduced to a comfortable level. In addition, if you need to, you can wear a pair of earmuffs and face mask at any time, right? telescopic pole saw is also a good choice, you can also consider buying one.
