Grass trimmers: How to buy the best grass trimmer Cordless grass trimmers
Cordless trimmers come with a re-chargeable battery
Cordless grass trimmers are very similar to electric ones but they come with a re-chargeable battery, so you don’t have to worry about untangling power cables and extension leads. This makes them easier to manoeuvre during use and you can use them anywhere.
A good battery should last for at least 20 minutes per charge and the best machines can handle tougher tasks such as rough weedy vegetation and longer grass.
The downside to cordless products is that if you can’t manage all your trimming in one battery life you have to wait for them to re-charge before you can carry on with the job.
Pros Easy to use, no cable to get in the way
Cons Limited running time, recharging the battery takes time
