Gas String Trimmer Vs Electric String Trimmer

So you have decided to get a string trimmer but is in the big debate on which one to get, a gas string trimmer or an electric string trimmer. Well look no further! This is the article for you. Here you will find everything you need to know about gas or electric string trimmers so that you can make an informed decision.

In my experiences, I have always preferred electric string trimmers to gas string trimmers; however it really depends on the situation and the environment you’re going to use it in. If you live in an urban area and you just need a string trimmer to do your yard work, then the electric powered ones are perfect for you! If you live in a farming area and you actually need the trimmer to be able to handle tough and thick areas then definitely a gas powered one is for you. Let’s face it though, how many of us are living in a farm right now? Also, if you do live on a farm you probably know this already. This is just to clarify for the people who live in cities that think going with a gas string trimmer is a better choice because it has more power so it will be more convenient.

Why are electric string trimmers so much better than gas string trimmers you might ask? Well that’s simple! If you look at any one of the reviews I have made on any electric string trimmer, you will find out. To summarize an electric string trimmer is silent, cleaner and lighter than its gas powered competitors. If you live in a neighborhood, you definitely don’t want a trimmer that can wake up your neighbors or that can cause some unnecessary gas to pollute the air around as well. This is why electric string trimmers are so much better in city areas! Also with a gas powered string trimmer you will always have to manually start it up by pulling the strings however, with an electric string trimmer all you will have to is press a button… and also know how much battery is left in it but that is a much simpler task than trying to figure out how to start up a gas powered engine isn’t it?
