Best Electric Grass Trimmer Tools

The Black and Decker DH600 is not called a grass hot for nothing. One of the five best electric grass trimmer models, this garden tool will weed whack all day long. Among some of its cooler features is the rotating head - a quick switch around and it swaps into lawn-edging mode. On top of that, the 5 amp motor delivers a vigorous 9,500 rpm - allowing the string to take down almost everything in its path.

It's wieghs in at under 6lbs, and the adustable hand grips and user friendly design make it easy to work with. The cutting path is a rather impressive 14" - another aspect that helps make this an awesome tool. It really will cut through weeds like a hot knife through butter and you won't find better for your 50 bucks. A highly recommended purchase for anyone looking for an alternative to a gas powered weed whacker.

The Black and Decker NST is the best cordless electric grass trimmer and the price increase relates to the convenient battery powered operation as much as anything else. The cutting path is slightly reduced but - you get an automatic string feed, a lack of cord snaking around the yard and an adjustable shaft length. The 18v battery powers the unit along with a gutsy 8300rpm and, despite it weighing in at less than 7 pounds, it feels nice and solid in your hands.

It's not going to win an award for taking out some of the bigger vegetation around the yard but that doesn't mean it's lacking the bang for your buck aspect. When you purchase the B and D NST2018 Grass Hog, you're buying convenience and handling. It's a great buy for those with a small to medium sized yard, anyone looking for a relatively quiet weed whacker or someone that simply isn't up to handling the heavier, more vigorous gas models.

The Earthwise ST000 is a top rated electric trimmer from the mid level range. For $55, you're getting an awful lot of bang for your buck. It's quiet yet powerful, lightweight yet sturdy - and will cut an impressive 15" path through weed beds and overgrown vegetation. The handle is telescopic, the head comfortably switches through three positions and the grab handle adjustable. This presents a lot of scope from the handling and comfort perspective.

Of its many features, it also includes an edge guard that flips down - reducing the distribution of mulch around your feet. On top of all that, it possesses a spirited 6.25amp motor that delivers up to 7500rpm. In all, an awesome weed eater, efficient, powerful and well worth its price tag.

Without doubt the best budget electric grass trimmer is the Black and Decker ST100. If you've got a small yard, a mild to moderate weed problem and only have twenty bucks to spend - spend it on this. The 1.8 amp motor delivers an astonishing 11,000rpm, which is half the reason that the ST1000 performs so well for it's size. The other reason is the simplicity of the design. It may lack an adjustable shaft or an automatic feed but that doesn't detract from its ability to shine as a mini weed whacking power house.

Measured against other grass trimmers, this one will cut a 9" path, cope with precision trimming and edging and throw up less clippings and mulch that the bigger models. A definite buy for anyone that's on a tight budget and simply in need of a basic electric trimmer that's no mess, no fuss.

The Black and Decker LST1018 is, in a nutshell, an upgrade on the 2018. It's the best cordless electric grass trimmer in the quick charge range. And quick charge means exactly what it says - a recharge only takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Once you're up and running, the LST1018 is slightly lighter, at 6lbs. The motor and rpm are the same - 18v and 8300rpm. The automatic spool feed removes the stop/start aspect associated with some grass trimmers and its design is built around comfort and functionality.

You can alter both its height and the grab handle to suit your needs and the head switches between weed whacking and lawn edging. Overall this is a lively, effective electric grass cutter and more than worth the investment. A top rated mid range power trimmer.
