Choosing the best of any product can be difficult because there are often so many features available. Those who have extra money might find an expensive string trimmer more appealing, while those with less money might consider many of the extra features to just be bells and whistles. There are lawn trimmers, however, that are the best at providing certain features. For example, gas-powered trimmers are some of the most portable, but also produce a lot of noise and pollution, according to Galt Tech.
Corded Trimmers
Corded electric trimmers are inexpensive, and lightweight because they don't have to carry a battery. The Stihl FSE 60 is more expensive, but has a bump-feed system that's easy to use. The top-mounted motor makes this trimmer easier to use than other trimmers by providing good balance, according to Consumer Search. The extension cord is 200 feet long, which gives it great range. Corded electric trimmers are effective for getting rid of light weeds. They also tend to require less maintenance than other trimmers, according to American Lawns.
Cordless Trimmers
Cordless electric trimmers are more convenient because there's no cord getting in the way, but they usually don't have a lot of power and don't last long. Therefore, they're not very helpful in most situations unless the owner has a tiny lawn to trim, according to American Lawns. The Black & Decker NST2018 comes with multiple batteries, so that people with larger lawns can replace batteries, and this trimmer also comes with an energy-efficient battery recharger, according to Consumer Search.
Inexpensive Gas Trimmers
The Troy-Bilt curving shaft trimmer is a powerful, smooth and easily assembled gas-powered trimmer that's very affordable, according to Galt Tech. Trimmers with curving shafts are easier to use, according to American Lawns
Expensive Gas Trimmers
For those who are willing to pay more money for a gas trimmer, the Echo SRM 210i allows the operator to start trimming quickly with its Rapid loader head and its i-start starting system, according to Galt Tech. Unfortunately, gas trimmers such as the Echo require the most maintenance, and must be drained before winter so the stored gasoline doesn't damage the trimmer.
Propane Trimmers
Those who want the power of gas trimmers but less pollution have the option of the propane-powered trimmer. The Eco Trimmer has detachable curved and detachable straight shafts so the operator can choose his preference. This trimmer is fueled by propane cylinders that can be disposed of after all the propane is used.
