At Power Plant Hire, we recently started to stock the EGO range of gardening equipment. The range includes lawnmowers, hedge cutters, line trimmers, blowers, pruning saws, and more. For this week’s blog, we’re going to take a look at some of the advantages their electric line trimmers offer over not only their petrol-powered equivalents but even lawnmowers in some instances. Let’s explore.
EGO have developed line trimmers that can retract in just 10 seconds.
Line Trimmers Can Access Areas Lawn Mowers Can’t
You know the feeling. You have your lawn trimmed almost perfectly but there’s that one stubborn crop of grass in a corner or under a tree stump. Despite your best efforts, the lawn mower just isn’t able to cut it back effectively. This is an area where lime trimmers prove to be extremely versatile, allowing you to trim back grass in tight areas that lawnmowers simply cannot reach. It also makes them effective for certain types of terrain where a lawn mower would be impractical.
No Fuel Tank Means That Electric-Powered Line Trimmers are Less Cumbersome to Carry
Unlike petrol-powered models, electric-powered line trimmers, the EGO Power+ Powerload™ Line Trimmer, don’t require anything more than their own battery to be carried with them. Apart from the obvious environmental benefits, this helps to reduce the overall weight of the strimmer which makes them much easier for the user to carry around. Naturally, it also means less time is spent stopping and starting while you replenish the fuel tank.
Electric Line Trimmers are Easy to Start and Operate
Starting an electric line trimmer couldn’t be simpler, simply click a button, and off you go. This makes them much more user-friendly than petrol versions, without needing to tug at a cord that has become stubborn with age.
The EGO Power+ Powerload™ Trimmer is Speed-Adjustable
The EGO Power+ Powerload™ Line Trimmer features a speed selection switch, which means you can adjust the speed of the trim as you go, and as appropriate to the job in question. Sometimes a fast cut is effective, but sometimes, a more delicate touch is needed. The EGO Power+ Powerload™ Line Trimmer can easily handle both. Another benefit of this is it allows for a consistent trim each time. A safety lock-off is included.
Electric-Powered Line Trimmers are Quieter
Be it lawnmowers, line strimmers, or cars, there’s no denying that the petrol engine isn’t the quietest of humanity’s inventions. Nothing quite disturbs a pleasant Sunday morning in the neighbourhood like petrol-powered gardening equipment. This is yet another area where electric-powered line trimmers score points over their petrol-guzzling brethren. The noise emitted by electric models is far, far less intrusive. Not only will your ears thank for it, and so will nearby residents. The EGO Power+ Powerload™ Line Trimmer features a brushless motor which enables longer running times.
Electric-Powered Line Trimmers Vibrate Less
We all know that vibrating feeling your hands get after equipment such as a strimmer for a few minutes. Once again, this is a factor that is reduced when you switch to an electric-powered model. This is yet another way in which switching to an electric line trimmer reduces the impact on your body.
Electric-Powered Line Trimmers Require Less Maintenance
Electric-powered line trimmers require very little maintenance compared to petrol models. Usually, it’s simply a case of clearing any dirt or grass at the end of a trim and then putting it away safely (remembering to charge it, of course!).
As you can see, there are plenty of benefits to adding an EGO line trimmer to your gardening arsenal. Why not call into our showroom at Enniscorthy and have a look at our range?
