Currently, it is very difficult to choose a lawnmower, because garden equipment in the King store is represented by many models with various functions and designs. In addition, not everyone can afford to buy a lawnmower, because it is not so cheap. Therefore, it is necessary for the investment to justify itself, and the equipment to work for a long time and efficiently.
When buying a lawnmower, take into account the characteristics of the lawn (relief, area, composition and quality of the grass), decide what tasks your lawnmower will perform, and also take into account your capabilities and habits.
High-quality lawn mowers are multifunctional, but the first thing you need to do is understand the designs and types.
Popular designs
Manufacturers mainly produce lawnmowers of three types.
1. Wheeled lawnmower. This is an ordinary four-wheel cart equipped with handles. Often, only the operator can control them, but there are cases when they are equipped with an additional drive, thanks to which the device can move independently. Currently, this type is the most common, because it is not so expensive and combines the necessary characteristics.
2. Gasoline lawnmower with a seat. It is a four-wheeled machine that resembles a tractor, has a steering wheel and a seat for the owner. This type of lawnmower is intended only for mowing grass, which significantly distinguishes it from a garden tractor.
3. Automatic robotic lawnmower. This type of garden equipment is fully automated and does not require the participation of an operator. The only thing that is required from a person is to constantly charge the battery. In addition, such units can process large areas.
Types of devices
Lawnmowers can also be divided by type.
Mechanical lawnmower. The lightest and easiest to use. It is distinguished by a low price and minimalism in service. Such a machine will cope well with a small area, thanks to its maneuverability and light weight. However, this type has limitations: the device cannot be used on a large area due to the limited mowing width, and it is also necessary to always sharpen the knives.
Electric mower. Unlike the mechanical one, it is slightly more powerful because it is equipped with an electric motor. This type is much cheaper than gasoline ones, because there is no need to constantly refuel and perform frequent maintenance. However, a significant disadvantage is that the presence of an electrical network nearby is constantly required for the machine to work.
Battery powered lawnmower. According to its characteristics, it does not differ from the electric one. The only thing that gives it an advantage is that it does not require the presence of an electrical network.
Gasoline. The most powerful of all the lawn mowers listed above. Its main mechanism is an internal combustion engine, thanks to which the equipment moves freely.
If you take into account the above advantages and disadvantages, you can easily decide on the choice.
