The electric lawnmower is mostly used for small lawns
Which lawnmower types are there? - a short overview
The range of lawnmowers is dizzying. Electric mowers, cordless mowers, mulch mowers and reel mowers are all part of the classic gasoline-powered lawnmowers. Do not get confused anymore. We familiarize you with the most important lawnmower types and highlight outstanding differences.
Electric mower - specialist for small green spaces
Large lawns have become rare in modern house construction. In German gardens, therefore, the loud clatter of gasoline mowers was replaced by the soft hum of electric mowers. The following features distinguish this lawnmower type:
If you rattle on the electric mower with the long power cable, a cordless mower comes into focus. This type of lawnmower gets its energy not from the outlet, but over one or two accumulators. Lawn mower robots that mow the lawn on their own and also work with battery technology are highly popular.
Gasoline Lawn Mower - powerhouse for the big grass
For the cut care of large green areas with more than 500 square meters, the gasoline-powered lawnmower is still the first choice. The rotating sickle blade is usually driven by a powerful 4-stroke engine. The following attributes distinguish petrol mowers from other mower types:
Wacher popularity enjoys the gasoline-powered mulch mower. This lawnmower type does not catch the clippings. Rather, the stalks are chopped and remain as valuable mulch material on the lawn. This has the advantage that the green area is less likely to fertilize and water.
Cylinder mower - paper cutting for grass in premium quality
Are you looking for a velvety-green carpet in the quality of an English lawn? Then you will not pass a reel mower. Here, no rotating sickle knife beats off the blades of grass. Rather, the spindle knives cut the lawn gently and evenly in paper cutting. The classic reel mower is pushed manually over the lawn. The trend is electric reel mowers, which reduce the force required for the grass clippings.
Tips
Do you have a soft spot for easy-care lawn mowers that do their job whisper-quietly at any time? Then turn your attention to a modern cylinder mower. Some manufacturers have begun to equip the models with self-sharpening knives, which eliminates the annoying replacement of rotating cutterbars.
