Petrol Trimmer. Consumer Reviews.

What attracts buyers?

What is a good gasoline model, if we compare them with electrical counterparts? First, consumers say there is no need to drag an extension cord over the section. Also, gasoline models can work in the rain and wet weather, which is not certain about the electric tool.
The great advantage of this kind of models is their power, ability to work for a long time without stopping, as well as the turnaround. The latter circumstance makes it possible to lash thickets of even very powerful weeds, without fear for the engine’s fate. Buyers report that they have used the gasoline “spit” for several seasons, and with it, they can mow huge amounts of grass both on the plot and on construction sites and other objects.

Which engine do consumers prefer?

Note that in the markets today you can find two-stroke and four-stroke models. As a rule, only the first variety can be found in the lower price range. If you do not go into mechanics courses, their main difference is the lack of a separate lubrication system.
In other words, it is necessary to fill in engine oil in gasoline. And not anyhow, but produced by the manufacturer of the trimmer that you bought. But this is in theory: in practice, people get along well with ordinary motor lubricants, which are purchased at the nearest gas station. The advantages of such models are their low cost (no more than four thousand), less demanding gasoline, as well as the most simple device. The latter is essential for inexperienced summer residents who are unable to carry out complex technical repairs.
However, its advantages more than cover these shortcomings. So, the power of four-stroke engines is much higher, they work much more steady at low revs, and their piston group (subject to high-quality oil) wears much less. If you choose such a model, and it is also equipped with knives, you can quickly clear even a whole meadow, on which thick and hard weeds have been growing for several years.
That is why, in recent years, consumers prefer exactly the four-stroke models since they are more reliable and better suited for continuous operation.

Lower or upper engine location?

On the market today there are two types of gasoline trimmers: with the upper and lower engine. Which one is more suitable for household needs? Let’s see, analyzing the experience of buyers.
Consumers say that a trimmer having a lower location of the engine is suitable for occasional lawn mowing. If you are looking for something more serious, you will have to spend money on more expensive models.

Fishing line or knife?

On the contrary, knives perfectly grind even old, dried plant stems and young trees. However, users are talking about increased power and “appetites” of such equipment to gasoline.

Little care.

To forget about the protection of the trimmer is not worth in any case. For example, even regular cleaning of the work area is a measure that can significantly increase tool life. Besides, when working in wet weather and the thickets, you can lightly cover the most open parts of the device. But you should not get involved in this way since the violation of the normal ventilation of the engine does not bode well either. However, when working on dry and dusty areas, this measure can significantly extend the life of the trimmer.
If you change filters regularly, it will not only significantly increase the chances of a long and happy trimmer life, but also save a lot of money from your family budget, which you would otherwise have to spend on repairs.

Clean. the guarantee of health!

Many users of such tools wanted to avoid dust and residues of plants on the outer parts of the case. And this is the right approach! As often as possible, blow through all the vents, and thoroughly clean the ventilation ducts from dust and vegetation that has fallen into them. In no case is it allowed to use various metal objects for this purpose (screwdrivers, for example). You scratch the plastic, and scratches are a great springboard for dust and dirt. Use the best stick of wood, whose dimensions are suitable for your purpose.
As you can see, your instrument requires high-quality care, after which the trimmer will faithfully serve you not only your entire warranty period, but also much longer!

Which manufacturer to choose?

• “Champion”

This is “Chinese”. Models from this company are within four to five thousand rubles. What else, besides the financial side of the question, does the Champion gas trimmer do?

As for the shortcomings, many complain about the rough performance, inconvenient capacity for the preparation of the fuel mixture, as well as excessive vibration during operation. Some buyers have noted the inconvenience of the handle. Thus, the “Champion” petrol trimmer, reviews of which we reviewed, is more suitable for occasional work that requires powerful equipment. Buying it for trimming the lawn is impractical.

• “Stihl”

This company in our country does not need to advertise. Former purebred “German” (today some equipment is assembled in same China). What attracts buyers trimmer petrol, “Stihl”? Reviews indicate that the price immediately draws attention to itself: it is somewhat higher than for more common and cheaper models (from 7-8 thousand).
But many say that they gladly pay this money: for them, you get a compact, powerful and surprisingly well-tailored technique. There are no complaints about the quality of performance; in the process, the gas trimmer “Calm”, about which we are reviewing, makes quite a moderate noise, and the average person will hardly notice the vibrations (unlike the “Champion”).
Among the shortcomings, you can write a fairly high price for spare parts and consumables.

• “Forester”

Also “Chinese”, and of the cheapest. What do you get by buying a trimmer gasoline “Forester”? Reviews say that they will give you exactly as much as you paid. Devices with relatively low power, very average workmanship and decent noise at work.
Often in reviews, there are complaints about the quality of gears. Almost all gardeners who bought this trimmer, strongly advise changing the “native” round fishing line that comes with it for something more serious. With regular components, he often stalls, not wanting to mow thick weeds.

• “Patriot”

And once again, you are greeted by Chinese technology. What else is different trimmer petrol Patriot? Reviews show pretty good build quality for the “Chinese”, low cost and relatively low noise. Consumers notice that these trimmers get turned on quickly, medium-sized grass mow without any difficulty.
The disadvantages are the same: the quality of components is far from ideal, which is why they are not too durable.

• “Meteor”

Should I buy a petrol trimmer, “Meteor”? Reviews say that this Chinese technique is not very reliable; the quality of components in some cases does not hold water. Well, it takes only low grass, but it is problematic to mow large volumes with it since a high level of vibration makes the work uncomfortable.

• “Husqvarna”

Finnish manufacturer, widely known in our country. It produces high-quality and reliable equipment, and Husqvarna petrol trimmer is no exception. Reviews testify to high reliability, unpretentiousness, and power. Buyers like the fact that in any store you can easily find all the necessary components and consumables.
Comfortable and ergonomic trimmers from this company are great even for large areas.

• “Interskol”

Until recently, it was positioned as a purely domestic company. Today, the usual “Chinese”, the rights to the production of which our company has. Should I buy a petrol trimmer, “Interskol”? Reviews often contain references to the low quality of materials that went into production, not too high ergonomics, as well as a high level of vibration. The advantage is the low cost and a huge number of components available in almost any store.

• “Huter”

The company is registered in Germany, but production is in China. So what is the difference between the petrol trimmer Huter (reviews of which we consider) from its counterparts? First of all, significantly better quality at a relatively low price. The devices are powerful enough. Many say that by this indicator they are slightly worse than the “Calm”, although they are much cheaper.
