I am sure that you already know that you have to do two different grass cutting techniques to get an attractive yard - mow the grass, then trim all the rest including the hedges. To make the hedges, shrubs, and other hard to reach area with the mower, you need to get the right lawn trimmer that will work the best.

Did you know that there are actually three models of lawn trimmers that a person can pick from? Below is the different model types, and what each one is best used for.

Trimmers Powered By Gas and Oil Are you usually trimming tall, thick, wet weed like grass? Then using a gas string trimmer would work the best for you. The average weight of the gas trimmers is 9 to 13 pounds. When comparing the weigh class of the gas to the electrical corded ones the gas weighs more. When you purchase a newer model of the gas trimmer they will typically run cleaner by using less emissions. Since this model of trimmer is pretty loud, it's recommend that you don't use them without having some sort of ear protection.

The gas trimmers also brake down more than the others, so you might have to do some tune ups or even get some replacement parts. The gas motor trimmers also can be run with propane which means less emissions, but they will cost you more to get.

Corded Electric You will be saving money if you decide getting a corded electric grass trimmer. The average weight of this model of trimmer is under 10 pounds. Compared with the gas powered trimmers, these will not require that many tune ups or even replacement parts. Even though they might not be as noisy as the gas powered trimmer, I would still recommend you wearing hearing protection. Since they have a cord to get power from electricity you will have a limited trimming area, and you will have to make sure that the cord is not binding up on anything.

Electrical Cordless Trimmers The cordless electric trimmer is only made for doing little jobs that don't take very long. Here is the reason why they are only for small jobs, they are being powered by a single battery, so you have about half an hour to get the job done, also they will not have consistent power, before you have to either change the battery or stop and start charging.

Also the charging of the supplied battery pack will usually take up to 3 - 5 hours. But if you're more concerned about emissions and only do light trimming, then this trimmer is great because it's fuel free, fume free, pull starter full all you have to do is turn it on and squeeze the trigger. The weight of a cordless electric trimmer is around 10 pounds or more.
