18 best lawn mowers
2019 rating: the best lawn mowers according to customer reviews
Author: Nick Ekholm
Lawn mowers were originally designed to clean up lawns. But our gardeners and gardeners successfully use these devices simply for cutting grass (as well as bushes - if power permits), sometimes processing rough, heavily overgrown areas. In our ranking, we have collected for you the 13 best models of lawn mowers of different categories - so that you can quickly figure out which lawn mower is suitable for your site (lawn).
What else can be called a lawn mower?
Depending on the type of device, you can find the following names in stores:
1. For hand mowers:
- Trimmer
- Benzocosa
- Motokosa
- Mechanical braid
2. For self-propelled mowers
- Mowing machine
The group of lawn mowers also include raiders - mini-tractors. But they are used for large lawns (for example, in housing and communal services).
What to look at first when choosing a lawnmower?
- Which area will you process? Estimate its area, relief, degree of litter. What other vegetation is there on it? What type of grass grows - soft, hard, short or grows quickly to a meter height? The type of lawn mower that suits you, the required power, maneuverability and throughput depend on this.
For example, if you have a “real English lawn” - a perfectly flat open area, without trees and bushes, with dense short grass, and you regularly cut it - you can use a self-propelled four-wheeled lawn mower (Champion LM5345BS, electric Makita ELM3711) or a gasoline trimmer PATRIOT PT 3355. On uneven ground (there are bumps, mounds) wheel Makita PLM4621, STIGA Combi 48 ES work well. For mowing grass on a small area, complex shape, overgrown with hard grass, bushes, choose a lawnmower (trimmer) - Stihl FS 55, Echo SRM-22GES, Makita UR3000, AL-KO 112924 BC 1200 E. For a small, but clean area suitable trimmer Bosch ART 23 SL. - Who will use the device? For men, almost any model will do. The main thing is that it fits your height. But if a woman or an elderly person has to mow the grass, the weight of the lawn mower acquires great importance (note that the weight of the full grass collector will add to the weight of the device itself), ease of maintenance.
- Model picking.What is included in the kit, knives or fishing line, or both? Does the lawn mower have a belt and which one?
What firm is better to choose a lawn-mower?
The following manufacturers have proven themselves best:
- AL-KO
- Bosch
- Champion
- DDE
- GARDENA
- Husqvarna
- Hyundai
- MTD
- Makita
