20 best petrol trimmers

Before us is the best petrol trimmer in terms of pricing. This is the most budget model on the market today, and this is not its only advantage. On board the tool is a 1.7 horsepower motor. Not much, but if you have a small dacha that you regularly look after, then this will be quite enough.The grass is cut both with a knife and with a fishing line. Both are included in the basic package.

Among the shortcomings, we can single out not the most comfortable bicycle-shaped handle and unsuccessful balancing, in which the engine pulls back and you have to constantly hold it, which causes additional stress on the wrists. Simply put, this is a tool for small and rare jobs. It is not worth taking on mowing hectares of grass with it, but this model got into our rating and not for its high performance or phenomenal quality. There are other sections for this, and the prices there are very different.

Sometimes, even the top brands are tricky and do not supply some of the necessary accessories in the basic package. Now we have a little-known Chinese manufacturer in front of us, and he, unlike his colleagues, does not do this. Along with the scythe you also get a shoulder strap, all the keys you need for the job, measuring containers and a set of spare bolts and nuts. That is, a full-fledged repair kit, and this is very good, since with an intensive load you will definitely need it.

The quality here is average. The model uses a handle of two halves, and it is not surprising that it will unwind and break, and it is not so convenient to work with it. The solution is strange and it is not clear why the manufacturer used it. There are also complaints about the quality of plastic. But the carburetor is adjusted right out of the box and its jets do not spin up during operation. And this is already a huge plus that many famous brands cannot achieve.

The gas trimmer is not a light tool.The internal combustion engine itself weighs a lot, so it can be very difficult to work with a scythe for a long time. But there are also very light models, like the one that is now in front of us. Its weight is only 6 kilograms, and almost two times less than that of competitors with similar characteristics. Yes, the motor is not the most powerful, only 1.7 horsepower, but this is quite enough to deal with the growth of medium height. True, the handle here is standard, T-shaped, which can cause stress on the wrists, but it is found in most similar models.

The quality matches the price. The trimmer is budget, so you don’t have to expect much from it initially. Another Chinese product, which will probably have to make its own efforts. Reviews often mention that the tool does not start out of the box and carburetor adjustment is required. If that doesn't scare you, you can save money.

The Huter GGT-1000T trimmer from a well-known German brand is distinguished by an affordable price for the product. At the same time, the lawn mower has sufficient power (1 l / s), thanks to which it is possible to process garden plots with abundant vegetation.

The tank capacity of 700 ml allows you to use the trimmer for a longer time than similar models of competing brands. The rigid shaft of the drive gives to a product reliability and durability.

The anti-vibration system significantly reduces the noise of the operating product and dampens vibrations that adversely affect the user's hands. The devices are equipped with protection against accidental activation and a gas trigger lock. Other characteristics: engine capacity - 33 cm³, tank capacity - 0.7 l., blade rotation speed - 7500 rpm, mowed strip width - 25 cm.

Huter GGT-1000T is one of the few trimmers today that is produced in the brand's homeland - in Germany, and not in China, as is common with a number of other brands.

In the budget segment, low-power trimmers with low performance and weak motors are most often found. But there are exceptions. Now we have the most powerful unit, costing much less than 10 thousand rubles. It has a 3 strong motor on board, which allows you to use not only fishing line as a cutting element, but also knives that are also included.

It should be noted and comfortable, ergonomic handle. Here the manufacturer decided to get confused, and made a complex design with two curved handles. In the hands of the trimmer lies perfectly and does not cause stress on the wrists after a long work. And for long work, this tool is quite suitable. As for the shortcomings, and they are here, customer reviews often mention incomplete equipment. Before buying, it is recommended to carefully study the scope of delivery. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to prove that some detail was not reported by the manufacturer.

This Chinese brand often becomes a guest of various ratings, and the rating of gasoline trimmers is no exception.What are its advantages, and what justifies such a price, and it is worth noting that it is quite high. The manufacturer tried to create a tool with a minimum of working vibrations. There is a perfectly balanced boom, and the engine is completely isolated and has several dampers. Indeed, as they say in the reviews, the lawn mower practically does not vibrate, which makes working with it very comfortable, and the hands do not get tired even after several hours of mowing the grass.

But is everything so perfect? Unfortunately no! Firstly, the engine here is rather weak. Its power is less than a kilowatt, so if adult grass has captured your cottage, this gas trimmer will not cope with it. Secondly, the tool weighs quite a lot, more than six kilograms, and this is taking into account a very small fuel tank, which will often have to be refueled. Yes, the build quality is on top here, but the technical specifications for this price category are too small.

Feedback from real buyers is one of the most important criteria when selecting products for the rating. People who have already used the tool know all its advantages and disadvantages, and now we have a model that has received one of the highest user ratings. Praise for everything from build quality to the most thoughtful ergonomics. Which is not surprising, since this is the best manufacturer of professional garden equipment, who knows exactly what a quality lawn mower should look like.

Despite not the most powerful motor of 2.1 horsepower, the trimmer does an excellent job with excessive loads. It does not need to constantly adjust and tighten the bolts.The plastic is durable and strong, and the handle has a complex curved shape. As for the shortcomings, there is only one here, and the owners often mention it - a high noise level. The instrument works very loudly and is able to wake up the entire neighborhood. And he is picky about the quality of the oil.

The Stihl FS 55 trimmer from the German manufacturer is noted by users as the most reliable and durable. The versatility of the brushcutter makes it possible to use the device both for mowing lawns and for mowing fallen grass and reeds.

The Ergo Start easy start system makes starting the engine of the device very easy. All you need to do is pull the starter cable and the Stihl FS 55 is ready to go. The manual fuel pump allows fuel to be added to the carburetor and the engine started after a long break, while reducing the number of starting jerks.

The low weight of the device (5 kg) does not cause severe user fatigue even after prolonged use. All controls are integrated into one handle, making operation simple and as safe as possible. The height-adjustable foldable handle allows the device to be adjusted to user-friendly settings.

Safety goggles with wide side protection are included as standard, which will protect the user during work.

Other characteristics: power - 1 l / s, engine size - 27 cm³, tank capacity - 0.33 l., knife rotation speed - 7700 rpm, mowed strip width - 38 cm.

Before us is the best petrol trimmer in terms of value for money. It cannot be called expensive, at least by the standards of this section of the rating, but at the same time it is as productive as possible and can work for many hours without experiencing overloads. Yes, the motor is installed here average. Only 2.5 horsepower, but it is of such high quality that it can withstand excessive loads perfectly. Reviews clearly confirm this, as well as numerous test reviews that are easy to find.

Note also the excellent balance. The lawn mower does not outweigh the engine, which takes the load off the wrists. The factor is very important, since the manufacturer ignored the issue of ergonomics. It uses a standard bicycle handle, which is considered uncomfortable. But even thick, mature grass will fall under the trimmer knife, and if your dacha is regularly attacked by it, you don’t have to worry that the tool will let you down.

The Husqvarna 128R trimmer from the well-known Swedish brand, thanks to its light weight (5 kg including accessories), will allow the owner to easily mow the grass in the garden. Comfortable backpack-type belts reduce the load on the muscles during work. The telescopic pole and rotary control handle allow you to customize the tool for a specific user, creating a comfortable working environment for him.

Engine power of 1.1 l / s allows you to easily deal with grass of any hardness. The Smart Start system provides a quick start.Ease of starting is set by the starter cord, the resistance of which is reduced by 40% compared to previous models. Other characteristics: engine capacity - 28 cm³, tank capacity - 0.4 liters, blade rotation speed - 8000 rpm, mowed strip width - 45 cm.

Everyone who has had a gas trimmer from a top brand knows how sensitive and demanding they are on fuel and lubricants. It is enough to fill in the wrong gasoline once, and that's it, the soot does not work. We bought the wrong oil, and now you are carrying the tool for repair and paying a tidy sum for it. Now we also have a top brand, but its main feature lies precisely in unpretentiousness. Even the manufacturer itself does not give strict recommendations on the oil used. Of course, it must comply with the regulations, but it is not necessary to take a product from the same brand.

As for the technical side, this is, if not the best, then one of the best options, provided that you have a medium-sized cottage or a large plot of land.With a 2.2 horsepower motor, the tool is able to work for many hours without the need to turn it off. A well-thought-out cooling system and a unique vibration damping technology will not let you or your trimmer get tired.

If you are looking for the most reliable gas trimmer that you plan to load with full work, then be sure to pay attention to this model. The Japanese company Honda is famous for its products. First of all, they are known for high quality, and lawn mowers are no exception. Yes, the tool is quite expensive, but its price is fully justified, since this is a professional model, and it hardly makes sense to buy it for a summer residence.

Engine power is 2.5 kilowatts, which allows you to deal with the highest and most dense grass. The motor is a four-stroke, capable of developing such power with relatively small dimensions. Also, the manufacturer almost completely got rid of vibration, which is detrimental to this type of instrument. Several gaskets between the gearbox and the boom make it as convenient and comfortable to use as possible, which is especially important when removing grass in large areas.

The phrase "Made in Japan" for many buyers is almost the main selection criterion. Indeed, the Japanese know a lot about not only the development, but also the high-quality production of all kinds of equipment. Makita, as befits the Japanese, strictly honors traditions, and therefore, choosing the EBH341U model, you can be sure that you will not be disappointed in your choice.

Yes, the motor is rather weak (only 1 hp), but it is a four-stroke, which means there will be much less vibration and noise. Yes, weight and size indicators also do not shine with numbers, but the price is also the lowest. And so it can go on for a long time. The trimmer seems to have not the best, but not bad characteristics either. This is just a solid middling for a fairly low cost.

Equipment from Echo, including the SRM-350ES trimmer, is quite interesting, first of all, to the average buyer. It has good reliability and performance, but does not discourage the cost. Yes, some parameters are not distinguished by reference indicators, but they are quite enough for most cases.

The main problem of this model in its engine. No, it is quite good and the quality is on top, but it is a two-stroke, and this leaves a certain imprint. For example, before use, it is necessary to prepare a gasoline-oil mixture. In addition, it makes noise and vibrates a little more than its competitors. Fortunately, the anti-vibration system is present here.

The advantages of such an engine include the ability to work in any position. Due to the fact that the oil is poured here not separately, but mixed with gasoline, turning the tool will not lead to “oil starvation”. Therefore, it is worth recommending this model first of all to people who plan to use the trimmer on a bumpy surface.

The Swedish brand Husqvarna is considered one of the best manufacturers of garden tools.Yes, it is expensive and difficult to repair, but this is exactly the case when the high price tag is offset by the duration of use and overall reliability. Now we have a top-end lawn mower for 2022. This is a real miracle of engineering, which could not fail to get into our rating. Model with 4 strong motors and a huge amount of electronics. A gas trimmer that can work for many hours and not run out of steam.

The operator will also feel great. Sophisticated ergonomics, as well as a unique vibration damping system, take the load off the wrists, and this is the main problem of budget models. Even a standard bicycle handle is not a disadvantage here, since the movable mounting block allows you to set it at any angle convenient for you. And proper balancing will always keep the barbell in the optimal position.

Wheeled lawn mowers are rarely budgetary, so many owners of cottages and household plots refuse them in favor of less convenient portable trimmers. But there are exceptions. Before us is the cheapest and simplest tool, which as of 2022 costs a little more than 15 thousand rubles, which is comparable to a conventional oblique portable design. However, there is nothing surprising here. This is just a model of a budget tool of the same brand, but mounted on a movable wheeled platform.

The platform itself is as simple as possible and one might even say primitive. It is easy to put any gasoline trimmer on it, if the length of its rod allows. Just attach it to the right place and carry the throttle. However, this cannot be called a disadvantage, since the platform itself is very convenient. It is adjustable in height and angle of inclination, so it will suit people with any height and complexion.

A lawn mower is not the most convenient tool, especially when compared with a lawn mower equipped with a comfortable handle with controls displayed on it. In this case, we see that the manufacturer was inspired precisely by the designs of the lawn mower, just below, instead of it, there is a full-fledged trimmer with a 1.1 horsepower engine. It is most convenient to manage such a unit. The handle of the gas handle is removed, as is the engine start-stop button.

In fact, this is the handle from the lawn mower of this brand, simply transferred to another, similar tool. In terms of convenience, the solution is excellent, besides making the wheel trimmer maneuverable and light.With it, you can easily get to difficult areas, and all-terrain tubeless wheels will allow you to work even on unstable, weak ground. As for the shortcomings, reviews often mention that grass is wound on the rod. This is due to the design of the casing.

The wheel trimmer is more like a mower. They have approximately the same dimensions and layout, and for mowing this is not always convenient. In this case, we see the most compact and easy-to-use tool. It has a wheeled platform and only one control handle. The second is simply not needed. The trimmer is attached at any angle, and its length is regulated by a bar.

In fact, this is just an additional attachment that turns an ordinary portable gasoline trimmer into a wheel trimmer. If desired, any other unit can be placed on the platform if its rod is capable of being reduced to such dimensions. In the basic configuration, we get a motor for 2.2 forces and the ability to use fishing line with a thickness of 2.4 millimeters. The annotation also indicates the possibility of using knives instead of fishing line, but they are not included in the package. However, the base is standard, so any cutting element from another manufacturer will fit here.

A wheeled gas trimmer can hardly be called a maneuverable tool. Often he does not crawl into the necessary places and cannot cut grass near obstacles. The German company FUXTEC has developed a unique design. This is a petrol trimmer with a platform that is adjustable in all directions.Two-handed grip with a universal throttle that can be moved to the side that is convenient for you. The bar is flexible and is adjusted not only in height, but also in the angle of inclination.

The wheels of the platform, although they stand at a decent distance from each other, do not interfere with work. The trimmer itself is placed on its own rod, which can also be adjusted. On board the device is a 3 horsepower motor, and mowing can be done with both fishing line and knives. Both modules are already in the basic configuration and are universal, that is, you can choose an analogue if the price of the original does not suit you. And this is important, since the components of the brand are quite expensive.

If the grass in your area has gone out of control and turned from small growth into full-fledged vegetation, you will need a powerful gas trimmer that can cut through a thick stem. It is this model that we now have in front of us. Due to the fact that the equipment is wheeled, the manufacturer was able to install a powerful 5 horsepower motor on it. The total weight of the structure is more than 30 kilograms, and if it were not for the movable platform, you would hardly have coped with such a unit, keeping it on weight.

The engine here is not only powerful, but also as reliable as possible. The brand has long been cooperating with the American manufacturer Briggs & Stratton, which is considered one of the best players in the modern market. The equipment is truly reliable and does not require careful maintenance. True, with maintainability, not everything is so rosy. Spare parts are expensive and hard to find in a regular retail store. In addition, analogue parts do not fit here, which means you have to buy the original.
