Take Advantage of These 5 Powerful Electric Gardening Tools

You begin a Saturday with a mission to tame your unkempt front lawn, only to realize that the lawnmower will not start. The silence you hear as you try to get it working could be an invitation for you to consider electric gardening and lawn tools.

Garden tools powered by electricity can support your green thumb. These electric-powered tools can last longer and are emissions-free, meaning you&#;ll smell the scents of summer, not the smell of exhaust. Plus, with modern technology, they are just as effective as gas-powered alternatives.

The Benefits of Electric Garden Tools

  1. They are low maintenance. With electric models, you don&#;t need to store gasoline, perform oil changes, treat fuel, change spark plugs or change filters. 

  2. You don&#;t need to purchase gas, which can save you a little money every year.

  3. They store easily and start-up easily in the spring and whenever you need them. The prep work at the start of the season is taken away with electric models.

  4. Electric models are lightweight and easier to handle for all of your lawn and garden needs.

  5. You are reducing your carbon footprint when you use rechargeable electric-powered tools. Electric gardening tools reduce emissions and energy consumption without sacrificing power or efficiency. Because an increasing amount of electricity is produced from renewable sources like solar, wind and hydropower, you can rest assured that these electric tools are not just good for your garden, they&#;re also good for the planet.

 

1. Electric Lawnmowers

Gas-powered lawn mowers, weed eaters, and chainsaws all add emissions to the air. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, lawn-mower emissions contribute substantially to the total air pollution in metropolitan areas. Investigating a tool powered by electricity is a great way to reduce your footprint. 

Models to Look For

The &#;Robomower,&#; an electric, cordless mower (much like the iRobot or Roomba vacuum cleaners) that intuitively mows your lawn. Its big blade can cover large yards in a short period of time, and it can manage grass up to 80mm long. And, it saves you time by doing it automatically! If you&#;re more practical, two electric push mowers to consider are the Black and Decker 40V mower or the Ryobi 40V lithium-ion cordless mower. 

2. Electric Hedge Trimmers

Using a power hedge trimmer is a simple way to save time and effort - and with an electric model, you are also reducing emissions. An electric hedge trimmer with a heavy-duty blade will let you cut branches that are too thick for traditional pruning shears, eliminating the need to use several tools to shape your hedges. 

Models to Look For

Electric models are powerful but be cognizant to keep yourself safe around cords. Look for lightweight models to save on arm fatigue, and for added power, look for an electric model that has two flat blades instead of one.

3. Electric Leaf Blower

Replacing your gas-powered leaf blower with a clean, electric-powered model will help you clear leaves and debris efficiently with no reduced power or capacity. 

Models to Look For

The Black and Decker LB700 model provides the energy capacity to get tough jobs done quickly. The gas-powered Stihl BG 50 handheld leaf blower offers similar power. And the Worx WG518 is an electric 3-in-1 blower/vacuum/mulcher with equally powerful clearing ability.

4. Cordless Electric Garden Cultivator

Electric cordless cultivators are great for established, small garden spaces. They are lightweight and can perform some of the duties of a gas-powered tiller without weight or pollution. 

Models to Look For

The Black and Decker LGC120 carries a 20V battery and can cultivate 325 square feet per charge. Electric cultivators have air filters to replace or clean, but there is no gasoline to treat and no oil to change.

5. Electric Snow Blowers

Even in the winter, electric tools are key for maintaining your property. Snow blowers are a powerful alternative to the hard work of shoveling by hand, especially for those who have big areas to clear or have physical limitations. Thanks to technology, high-maintenance gas-powered snow blowers have been largely replaced by electric models that offer high plowing capacity and reliability. 

Models to Look For

Electric models include the Snow Joe SJ627E, with a consumption power of 840 pounds of snow per minute and up to 25 feet of throwing distance, and the Husqvarna ST224, with a heavy-duty blade that can churn through snow of all densities.

Are cordless or petrol garden tools better?

The benefits of cordless garden tools

At John Miller Garden Machinery, we offer a wide range of garden tools in different sizes to suit your needs and the size of your garden. In order to do this, we offer solutions that are powered either by electric or petrol engines and while petrol engine garden machinery has their advantages, there are many cases where cordless electric products are preferred. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of buying cordless garden equipment.

The noise &#; is Cordless garden machinery quiet ?

Although petrol powered garden machinery such as chainsaws are more powerful and ideal for heavy-duty use, they can be very noisy which can be annoying for you as well as nearby neighbours. Especially during extended use. Cordless alternatives, however, are much quieter and there&#;s no need to have to wear ear defenders.

Cordless hedge trimmers and leaf blowers are popular with businesses, hotels and schools as they don&#;t cause so much disruption with the less noise they produce.

The weight &#; is garden equipment with petrol engines light to carry?

Overall, no - garden equipment with petrol engines are not as &#;light as a feather&#; to carry (although this depends on your strength). Petrol engine tools are heavier because of the engine and the fuel tank. This can make usage over a long period an issue with tools such as hedge trimmers and chainsaws as they are heavier to hold when using. They can make your arms ache is you&#;re not used to them. Cordless hedge trimmers, however, are much lighter so you can get small tasks done quicker, without having to take a break.

No need to buy fuel &#; cheaper and quicker using battery power

Although cordless devices need their batteries charged, it&#;s a lot less hassle than having to go to the garage to buy fuel - which also costs more. We have a range of products including battery leaf blowers and battery hedge trimmers which can be charged up very quickly and are ready to use without needing to head off to the petrol station.

Lower service costs

Electric products such as our cordless brush cutters have less moving parts than their petrol engine equivalents. This can only be good news for you because it means there are fewer parts to service and service costs tend to be lower as a result.

Fewer emissions than petrol engines

Cordless tools also have a lower carbon footprint than their petrol equivalents and are therefore much better for the environment.

The downsides of electric and cordless garden machinery

When deciding whether to go for petrol powered garden machines or cordless and electric, there are some downsides to using cordless versions.

The first consideration is how long you will be using the product for. If you already have petrol at hand, then a petrol engine alternative can be quickly topped up while a cordless version requires recharging the battery and waiting before you can carry on. The batteries of cordless products are typically designed with the product to last long enough for the required task, but extra batteries can be purchased to prevent downtime.

Another consideration is how intensely you need to use the garden tool as petrol versions are designed for bigger tasks and larger gardens. Petrol engine versions for items like grass cutters and  mowers, trimmers and chainsaws are designed for more regular and intense use and these maybe a better solution if it&#;s needed constantly over a period of more than a couple of hours. For many people, this isn&#;t a requirement and even on days when a chainsaw or leaf blower is needed for longer periods, it&#;s possible to take a break from the task and do something else while the battery re-charges and the device is rested.
