There are two stages to get a very attractive lawn, one mow the grass, and then finish with the detailed grooming by trimming the areas close to the house and the shrubs and hedges. That is way is it important that you get the right lawn trimmer that will work the best for you.

There are three different types of lawn trimmers that you are able to select from. Below you will be reading the different types and what they are best used for.

Gas Powered Trimmers
These weed eaters are the best choice if you are trimming tall, wet, think grass and/or weeds. The average weight of gas powered trimmers is between 9 to 13 pounds. They weigh more than the average weight of a corded-electric one. The newer ones will run cleaner, but even those will be producing emission from the gas and oil. They are also louder than the electric, they recommend that you always wear ear protection while in use. They may also require some tune-ups and replacement parts. There are also propane models that will not make as many emissions, but you will have to put more money on the table.

Corded Electric Trimmers
The corded electric lawn trimmers will not take much out of your bank account. They also don’t weigh that much at all, under 10 lbs. Another great thing is they don’t require that much maintenance compared to the gas powered. They are not as loud as the gas models, but you should still be wearing ear protection. The biggest negative is the trimmer is connected with a power cord, this means you have a limited range of the area that can be trimmed at once.

Cordless Electric Trimmers
This model is only meant for doing small jobs that are not cutting heavy, wet, tall grass. The reason why is they are being powered by a battery, so you will only have around 30 minute of run time before you are to recharge or change the battery. The recharging of the battery could take a couple of hours. They offer you with a fuel free, fume free, pull starter free cordless trimmer. These trimmers on average weigh more than the corded ones.
