How to choose a lawnmower

1. Performance. One of the main criteria when buying an electric lawn mower is performance. It depends on the engine power (1.0-2.0 kW) and the width of the mowed grass (15-60 cm). It is more convenient to work in flower beds with compact models with narrow decks (15-30 cm), and it is possible to mow the lawn more quickly if the swath width is close to the maximum (40-60 cm). Engine power also depends on the type of vegetation, its thickness and height. You can trim a regularly maintained lawn with low-power equipment (1.0-1.4 kW); when traveling to the country house 1-2 times a month, it is better to buy a more powerful unit (1.5-1.8 kW).
2. Cutting height. To determine the appropriate range of cutting height, you can use sports grounds as a basis. So, the tennis court is trimmed to the 5 mm mark, and the football field is up to 20 mm. Amateur models are able to maintain the height of the grass at the level of 15-90 mm. The best option would be to use technology with central adjustment.
3. Grass disposal. Among the electric lawn mowers there are models that can collect the mowed vegetation in the collection box, and units that spread it around the lawn. On the one hand, the removal of mowed grass makes the lawn beautiful, but the chopped green mass becomes the nutritional basis for the lawn. If the choice fell on a model with a collector, it is better to choose a rigid container with a volume of 50-60 l. Otherwise, purchase a lawnmower with mulching function.
4. Convenience of operation. Fatigue operator depends on the ease of use of the lawn mower. Already at the stage of transportation and preparation for mowing you can spend a lot of effort. Therefore, lightness, compactness, folding handle, quick-release grass collector are the advantages of equipment that often needs to be transported. But during work fatigue will depend on the type of mower. Almost without physical costs of the owner are able to work robots. As a walk on the lawn can be considered the use of self-propelled models. And most of the forces will have to spend on moving around a section of wheeled vehicles without a drive.
