There are three main types of grass trimmers to consider when looking to buy a grass trimmer, these consist of petrol trimmers, cordless trimmers, and electric cable trimmers.

The petrol trimmers are more of a heavy duty style, this means they are ideal for long heavy thick grass or weeds that need trimming down. The one big advantage they offer is there is no need to run electrical extension cables around your garden which you would have to do with an electric cable trimmer, this makes the grass trimmers more versatile in the operation of trimming your garden.

However there are some drawbacks to the petrol type of trimmer, one is the actual weight of the unit can be considerably heavier than the electric due to the engine required for it to operate.

Two other things to consider before buying petrol grass trimmers is they do produce some noise when in operation, plus they also produce exhaust fumes which you do not want to breath in when using the machine.

The electric cable type grass trimmers make less noise and are slightly lighter to use, they are also slightly cheaper to buy than the petrol type. But there is extra expense to consider with this type you will have to buy electric extension cables so your machine will reach the length of your garden.

There is an alternative to both these types of trimmer on the market, this is the cordless grass trimmers that works of a battery that fastens round your waste or you can get one that has the power pack fitted to the machine.

The cordless type grass trimmers are ideal if you have an average size garden that needs trimming, they are very light and easy to operate anywhere around your garden.

You will probably get around 30 minutes cutting time on one charge of the battery, once the battery has run out it usually takes three to five hours to recharge back up to full power, with this amount of cutting time available it should be plenty of time to go round the edge of your lawn and trim of the excess grass and get rid of those weeds.

There is one thing you can do to double the cutting time of the cordless grass trimmers, that is make sure you buy two batteries when you purchase your trimmer, this permits you to charge one battery up while you are using the other one to cut your grass.
