Best electric lawnmower - Huter, Makita, Bosch or AL-KO?

The main criterion that you need to pay attention to when choosing. The electric lawnmower uses a rotary motor with a direct drive to the blade. There are no gearboxes here, and the engine itself does not have a crankcase volume. That is, what power was originally laid down by the manufacturer, this will be the output. Turnovers in this case have a direct correlation with power. Well, for those users who are used to handling gasoline models, we will give this parameter both in kilowatts and in horsepower.

Of course, the more powerful the motor is on the mower, the higher its performance and quality of work. Therefore, in this nomination, the Champion with 1300 watts and 3400 rpm wins. Slightly behind, but still second place, since in electric models even 100 watts matters, Bosch and Makita. Well, the weakest are Huter and Al-Ko. Only 1 kilowatt and 3000 revolutions.

This parameter is present in the description of all models, although, in essence, this is a convention. That is, if you have a dacha of 300 square meters, and the mower is designed for 250 m², you shouldn't give it up. She will do a great job. This specification is more of a recommendation. It shows how well the motor has good cooling, what power it has, and so on.

A striking example of the absence of a pattern is Bosch. In the nomination "Mpower"He took second place, but in terms of the recommended area, he has the highest figure - 500 square meters. That is, it is a mower with good cooling and a long engine life. This is definitely the first place. Slightly more modest than Makita with 400 m² and Huter from 350 m². We give the second line. Well, Champion and Al-Ko go to third place, they have 250 and 200 squares, respectively. Another interesting pattern is that the Champion, with the most powerful motor on board, is designed for a much smaller area than its weaker counterparts. This indicates either not the best cooling, or that the manufacturer is reinsured.

To achieve perfect coverage, the lawn must be mowed regularly, and at different stages of growth in different ways.For example, at the initial stage, it is recommended to shave off the growth as low as possible, and then you can already add a height to the one that is more preferable for you. Of course, the best electric lawn mower is the one with the widest mowing range. That is, it has a very low minimum value and a very large maximum value. The parameters of our members are as follows:

The winner of the nomination is visible to the naked eye - this is a mower from Bosch. She has the best performance in both directions, which means first place, and the sole one. We will give the second line to those who have a lower mowing height, as this is important in order to obtain excellent lawn quality in subsequent stages of growth. We have Al-Ko and Makita models. Well, the Champion and Hooter, although they have a high maximum value, lose in the minimum. Therefore, only third place.

Track is another parameter that indicates performance. The larger it is, the faster you will process the site, and if you have a large dacha, be sure to look at it.

By the way, the same parameter of the recommended area is also calculated from the value of the track width.That is, the same area will be processed at different speeds, and since the model is electric, it is important how long it works without stopping.

As for our participants, Bosch has the largest track - 37 centimeters. All other participants share the second line. Their value varies from 32 to 33 centimeters. The difference is small, but less than that of the winner.

If you are buying an inexpensive version of the mower, most likely it will not boast a variety of adjustments and settings. We have already talked about the mowing height and considered the minimum and maximum values, but if the tool has only two adjustable levels, then it will mow either by the largest value or by the smallest.

It is also important to look at the type of adjustment. It is axial and central. The first is similar to that used on gasoline models. The entire platform is lowered, and this is done with the help of one lever. Simple and convenient. The axle system provides for the need to rearrange the wheels to another place. The design provides for several holes for this. Not the most convenient option, so the best electric lawn mower is the one with the most adjustments and a central adjustment system.

There are two winners: Bosch and Champion. Both with central system and 5 levels of customization. These are the most versatile tools for all types of lawns.Other participants have 3 levels, but Makita also has a central system, so we will judge her second place, and everyone else - third.

After mowing, the grass is placed in a container called a grass catcher. It can be of different shapes and sizes, and the best mower is the one that is more convenient to work with. Since a large container has to be emptied less often, the owner of the largest tank will win the nomination.

The largest grass collector from Bosch is 40 liters. The second line in the nomination is shared by Hooter and Champion. They have 5 liters less. Al-Ko and Makita are also not far behind, 30 liters, but still only third place.

An electric lawn mower is quieter than a gas mower, but unless you have a freestanding cottage, you should not start working with it at 6 am on Sunday either. Even the best model in this regard buzzes loudly enough to wake up all the neighbors. And the quietest among our participants are Al-Ko and Hooter.Their motors produce a sound of 84 decibels.

Champion works a little louder. He has 90 decibels. Also not bad, but still the second line. But Bosch and Makita are the noisiest, at 96 decibels. Most likely it has to do with ventilation. Both units are well-cooled, but the minimum of closed elements in the design leads to an increase in noise pollution.

When choosing any product, you need to look at the reviews of real users. This will help to better form an opinion about the product, and if these reviews are detailed, then you will also learn about the specific advantages and disadvantages of the models. It is these comments that are published by the popular portal All Tools. There, ratings are given both for the product as a whole and for individual categories, which is very convenient.

And here we clearly see that some manufacturers declare slightly different parameters of their products. Of course, customer reviews are a conditional thing, but sometimes they provide information. much morethan official specifications.So, for example, Makita and Al-Ko scored the highest marks, although they lost in many nominations. Here they are in first place. The second line is for the Champion and Hooter, but Bosh is only the third position.

The quality of work depends little on the size and weight of the unit, but the best mower is the one that is also convenient to handle. The smaller and lighter the model, the more convenient it is:

In this case, it is more relevant to look at the weight of the device, since the dimensions are almost the same for all models. In this nomination we will have two positions, and the first line is for models weighing less than 9 kilograms. This is Champion and Bosch. The rest go to second place.

It is quite difficult to talk about the price in a constantly changing market, but it is very easy to distinguish an inexpensive unit from a premium one even by an approximate cost ratio.

We give the first place in the nomination to the cheapest models - these are Huter and Al-Ko.The second step of the pedestal is for the Champion and Makita mowers. These are also relatively inexpensive tools, at least compared to the Bosch model, which goes beyond 10 thousand rubles. Here she has only the third place.

Surely the results of the comparison for many were predictable. The best lawn mower in terms of total score is the BOSCH ARM 3200. Powerful, productive and comfortable. But real users have formed a slightly different opinion about it and rated the product much lower than our dry numbers. It is difficult to say what this is connected with, but the fact remains.

The champion was only slightly inferior to the leader. But Al-Ko and Huter can be called confident middle peasants. Good models, and they are suitable even for those who have an uneven area or a rather large cottage. All parameters are optimal. But the outsider was much more difficult to predict. As it turned out, this is Makita electric lawn mower. One of the top brands in our comparison let us down in almost all positions.
