Lawnmowers
A petrol lawnmower for a house with a garden is ranked just a little below a car, with which it shares certain similarities, such as an internal combustion engine and a driveline for propulsion (and more often than not, the lawnmower is parked next to the car in the same garage and enjoys a similar level of respect).
It is intended for tending large lawns on level ground.
The wide blade width makes short work of mowing.
The clearance control allows cutting of the grass to the same height, selected from a range of height levels.
The large, self-propelled wheels and ergonomic handle save effort and make manouevring easy.
The clippings are discharged into a spacious grass bin, so that the lawn looks perfect right after mowing, without any raking.
An electric lawnmower is designed for lawns beside the house, as it requires connection to mains power using a cord, and has performance on par with its petrol counterparts. These electric lawnmowers have a drive system, turning an otherwise exacting chore into an enjoyable experience.
Another advantage of an electric lawnmower is the silent, zero-emission motor, which remains in perfect harmony with nature and has enough power to cut through even the tallest grass.
The clippings can be discharged onto the ground or into a big grass bin, with a large capacity to ensure that it requires emptying less often.
A mulching lawnmower shreds the grass clippings into fine debris, making a suitable fertilizer for the grass, and requires no collection or raking.
While a cordless lawnmower performs very much like its electric power cord counterpart in terms of the blade width, cutting height adjustment, different discharge options plus bagging of the clippings or mulching, it outperforms in mobility – it can operate far away from a power outlet, where the battery pack capacity is the only limit.
The remaining power can be read from the charge indicator and, when the battery pack is discharged, the battery needs to be plugged into a charger or replaced with a charged one.
Some models are easier to control if they are self-propelled.
Battery-powered lawnmowers work well in difficult terrain, especially when mowing steep slopes.
