Best Inexpensive Gasoline Mower - Patriot, Huter, Hyundai or Champion?

The petrol lawnmower can be two-stroke and four-stroke. All of our members are four-stroke, so you don't need to make a fuel mixture to refuel them. This is the most successful option for domestic use, which does not affect performance in any way. But it is affected by the power of the installed motor and the volume of its crankcase.

Of course, the winner in the nomination will be the lawn mower on which the most powerful power unit is installed. It will complete the task much faster and will be able to work longer without stopping:

Two participants can be sent to the first line in this nomination at once: Patriot and Huter. Both have about 5 horsepower, while Hooter has a little more headroom, and therefore reliability.

There are also two nominees on the second step: Hyundai and Champion. Their parameters are completely identical, although the motors are from different manufacturers. But Makita single-handedly takes third place. Only 2.6 forces. This is enough for work, but less than other models.

The models we are considering have a direct drive to the knives. That is, the torque is transmitted immediately, without gearboxes and intermediaries. This is not always convenient, because if you have an uneven area, then certain difficulties may arise. Simply put, in such models there is no difference between the speed of rotation of the mover and knives. They are identical.

Champion has the highest speed among our participants, 3600 rpm. The model will pass the site the fastest. Mowers from Hyundai and Patriot are slightly behind. They have 3 thousand. A small difference, but only second place in the nomination. And we have the slowest Makita and Huter, 2800 rpm each. Moreover, Huter won in the “Motor Power” nomination, that is, we can say that this self-propelled lawn mower is moving slowly but surely. But Makita is simply weaker than its competitors.

It really doesn't matter how powerful the motor is on a lawn mower as long as it uses small blades. The cutting width is one of the main criteria that determine the performance of the tool. The bigger it is, the better.

The Patriot petrol lawnmower leaves the largest thaw hole behind - 51 cm.Definitely first place in the category. Makita, Huter and Champion look a little more modest, they have 46 cm each. There is a slight difference, but only the second line. But Hyundai has the narrowest track, only 41 cm.

A new lawn requires especially careful maintenance. At first, it is recommended to mow it as low as possible so that the grass gains strength. Then you can leave the vegetation higher, and it is important that your lawn mower is able to perform all these manipulations. Three factors matter here: the minimum and maximum mowing height, the number of steps for its adjustment. The more modes, the more control you can have over your lawn.

As you can see, the minimum cutting height is the same for almost all participants - 25 mm. Patriot stands out a little, but this is not critical. The same goes for the maximum height. It ranges from 75 to 85 mm. But the number of mower modes differ much more. So, Makita and Patriot have 7 levels, which gives more opportunities for the formation of complex designs. We will send them to the first place. The rest of the participants do not look so impressive and go to the second step.

The self-propelled lawnmower is wheel-driven, meaning it does not need to be pushed in front of you. This is convenient, but if you have an uneven area, it is desirable that the tool has high wheels, and the front ones should be smaller than the rear ones, because. diameter affects the permeability. If you have a perfectly flat lawn, then this parameter can be skipped.

Among our participants, Huter and Makita can be called the most passable. They have the highest wheels. Patriot and Champion slightly lower landing. But the lowest lawn mower is Hyundai. Despite the fact that it is self-propelled and has a narrow track, it is better not to climb into an uneven area with it, since even a small hill can become an insurmountable obstacle.

Reviews are one of the most important selection criteria. Fortunately, today there are no problems with them on the network, and some sites even publish them in several variations, where users are given the opportunity to evaluate not the general concept of the product, but its main parameters separately.

Not surprisingly, all the participants in our comparison gain almost the same scores.We deliberately took products that are approximately equal in characteristics and purpose. However, in some aspects, users rated the models differently. And the Champion did get the highest scores, for which we give him the sole first place.

Hyundai, Patriot and Hooter are about on the same line, and the total score is not much different. But the users rated the Makita mower the lowest. I especially did not like the parameter of general convenience, and this is due to the complexity of the design.

The best lawnmower is not only the one with the most power, but also the lightest and most compact. It needs to be stored somewhere, and just dragging a huge unit across the lawn is inconvenient.

So, the overall dimensions of all our participants are almost the same. It is impossible to determine the winner of the nomination by them. But the weight is very different, and this parameter is much more important. Consequently, the first place we have is occupied by Hyundai and Huter mowers. Both are less than 30 kilograms. Slightly heavier than Makita and Champion. A small difference, but both participants are already going beyond 30 kilograms. But the Patriot takes only the third line. The only model on our list that weighs over 40 kilograms.

The grass catcher is the container into which the grass is dumped after mowing. It can be rigid, that is, completely plastic, and soft tissue. It is impossible to say which variation is the best. It is a matter of personal convenience and habit. But the volume of this container is much more important. The more capacious it is, the better, because it will not have to be shaken out after half an hour of work.

Immediately 3 participants from our list have a 60-liter grass collector. These are Champion, Patriot and Makita. The Patriot has a hard one, the other two participants have a fabric one. Huter and Hyundai are more modest, with 50 and 40 liters respectively.

The best gas lawn mower should be not only productive, but also comfortable. Helper functions affect this. All participants in the comparison have them, but in different quantities:

The winner is unambiguous - the Patriot lawn mower.She is the only one on our list who has an electric starter. That is, to start it, you do not need to pull the rope. It is enough to press just one button. The best model in terms of convenience. The rest of the participants will have to be entered manually. But we’ll still send Huter to third place. Only he does not have a mulcher. Yes, not always and not everyone needs it, but the fact remains.

Since the price is a relative concept, we will take the average value for the most popular marketplaces:

For the convenience of the distribution of positions in the nomination, we will take 30 thousand rubles as a basis. That is, participants whose average price tags have not reached this threshold go to the first line: Hyundai, Champion and Hooter. A little more expensive, but already beyond 30 thousand is the Patriot. We give the second line. But Makita single-handedly takes third, as it costs almost 40 thousand.

If our comparison were only about brand visibility, the places in it would be distributed completely differently. But we looked at specific parameters, and as it turned out, the best inexpensive gas lawnmower is the PATRIOT PT 53 LSE. Powerful, with a wide track and mowing height. With a large grass catcher and additional options. An excellent option, and even at a very attractive price. Definitely the best value for money.

Champion and Huter, although they scored less points, are also very interesting models. But the famous Asian brands Hyundai and Makita have become outsiders. No, you can't say they are bad. For example, if you have an uneven area, then it is better to look in the direction of Makita. Yes, they are less powerful and productive, but maneuverable. In addition, Makita has always been famous for the highest build quality. The brand has an engine of its own design and it outperforms competitors in terms of durability. But it is better not to think about self-repair.
