The peculiarities of the country landscape do not always allow the effective use of a wheeled lawn mower - cutting grass near trees, on steep slopes or near a curb with such a technique is problematic. In this case, a lawn mower will come to the rescue, as it can easily work in hard-to-reach places.
There is a large selection of models of lawn mowers on sale, but the ranking of the best manufacturers has long been headed by such brands as:
- Makita;
- Hitachi;
- Oleo-Mac;
- Patriot;
- Champion.
The products of these companies have high reliability, all the necessary functionality and good technical parameters. Attractive design and ergonomic design of the models makes work as comfortable as possible.
When choosing a lawn mower model, first of all you need to decide on its power, which affects the productivity and intensity of work. Having a plot of several hundred square meters, it is hardly worth buying a powerful device whose resource will not be used. For cleaning the grass on the lawn near the estate, a household gas mower is perfect because it has a low engine power and costs less than a professional model.
Here are some of the most popular household gas mowers that do the job well.
TOP 5 best
Makita EM 2500U
This model of the popular Japanese brand can be confidently called an elite among household gas trimmers. The main advantage of the unit is its low weight of 4.5 kg, which gives a great advantage during long-term operation. When working with heavier models, fatigue will appear much faster than with the Makita EM 2500U lawn mower.
Convenient operation is ensured by an adjustable bicycle handle equipped with rubber attachments and a vibration damping gasket. The petrol mower is equipped with a 1 hp engine, which is enough to complete the assigned tasks. The model's engine is quiet and easy to start, even when cold. The tank volume is 0.5 liters, which is quite enough to clean grass over an area of 2 acres.
Included with the lawn mower is not only a bobbin with fishing line, but also a knife for trimming tough growth, which has 4 petals.
The only drawback of this model is the uncomfortable shoulder strap. It is advisable to replace it after purchase.
Oleo-Mac Sparta 25
This model from the Italian brand is equipped with a 1.1 hp gasoline engine. One refill of a 0.75 liter tank is enough for 1.5 hours of continuous operation, which is a fairly high figure. The manufacturer recommends refueling the device with a mixture of A-95 gasoline and Oleo-Mac branded oil. To ensure accurate proportions, the kit includes a measuring cup.
The weight of the lawn mower is 6.2 kg, the adjustable handle and shoulder strap create the most comfortable conditions when working with weight, and the high performance of the model allows you to do a fairly large amount of work in a short period of time.
The good performance characteristics of the Oleo-Mac Sparta 25 are achieved due to high-quality assembly and a high-quality engine that does not lose efficiency at low speeds. The petrol mower is equipped with a 3-bladed knife and a semi-automatic head with a 40 cm grip.
The disadvantage is the high cost of the model, which is inherent in all quality products.
Hitachi CG22EAS
Another lawn mower from Japanese manufacturers, where the main attention is paid to the quality of the product. The engine, with a power of 0.85 liters, provides a high speed of rotation of the knife, which makes it easy to mow even dried grass with a thick stem. At the same time, the manufacturers managed to maintain the light weight of the lawn mower, which is only 4.7 kg, which allows the device to operate for a long time.
Cost-effectiveness is a strong argument when choosing a lawn mower model. An innovation is the development of NEW Pure Fire, which has reduced gasoline consumption by up to 30% and gas emissions by half, compared to similar models.
The Japanese took care of safe work and added safety glasses to the package. In addition, the Hitachi CG22EAS lawn mower is equipped with a 4-blade blade and a mowing head.
Flaws:
- There is no mixing container included;
- Only high-quality expensive oil is used.
Petrol mower PATRIOT PT 3355
This lawn mower is a universal tool for removing vegetation both on flat surfaces near the house and in ravines or holes. The 1.8 hp engine, thanks to the primer, has easy starting, and the 1.1 liter tank allows you to work for quite a long time without refueling. The collapsible rod ensures comfortable transportation of the device.
The manufacturer has taken care of easy access to the air filter and spark plug, which allows the user to quickly perform maintenance on the lawn mower. Additional convenience during operation is created by the anti-vibration system and the ergonomic handle on which the controls are located.
The model is supplied with a 2.4 mm thick fishing line with a cutting width of 46 cm and a circular blade with a cutting width of 23 cm. The fishing line is fed in a semi-automatic mode.
Disadvantages of the PATRIOT PT 3355 lawn mower:
- a little noisy;
- During use, the shoulder strap stretches.
Champion T346
The Champion T346 petrol mower will serve as a reliable assistant in the fight against overgrown weeds. The working elements of the model are a fishing line with a thickness of 1.6-3 mm and a cutting disc with a cutting width of 25 cm, which is quite enough for cutting grass and coarse bushes.
The weight of the lawn mower is 7 kg, but the ergonomic handle and hanging strap make long-term work as comfortable as possible. Thanks to the shock absorption system on the rod and handle, vibration is practically not felt. The rod has a straight shape and a detachable design, thanks to which the lawn mower takes up little space during storage or transportation. High-quality forged shafts ensure reliable operation of the model.
The power of the 2-stroke engine of the Champion T346 lawn mower is 1.22 hp. The fuel used is A-92 gasoline mixed with oil in a ratio of 25:1.
