18v Grass Trimmer - Cordless Lawn Trimmers - Rechargeable Garden Edger
Learn the benefits to a convenient rechargeable 18v grass trimmer. Powered by a rechargeable battery, 18v lawn trimmers and edgers simply plug into an outlet and recharge for cord-free use.
When purchasing an 18v grass trimmer, there are important features to keep in mind. The form of power is one, but features are equally important. Some trimmer models add an edger. If you have gardens, sideways, pathways or patios, an edge trimmer keeps grass from overtaking grass-free areas.
Gas vs. Plug-in vs. Rechargeable 18v Grass Trimmers
Rechargeable 18v grass trimmers do require recharging. Most have a rechargeable base that the battery sits in between uses. If you forgot to charge the battery between uses, you'll have to wait to use the trimmer.
With a rechargeable 18v grass trimmer, you can trim grass anywhere in your yard. You're never limited by the length of your extension cord.
Plug-in lawn trimmers are low-maintenance and inexpensive. However, many homeowners dislike the models because it's easy for the extension cord to get in the way during us. The plastic string can cut through the outer layer of a cable creating a serious safety issue.
Gas trimmers use either gasoline or propane to power the trimmer. There's no electricity used, which is a handy feature, but you do have to burn fuel. The grass trimmer's motor will be hot to the touch during and after use. In addition, you'll have to deal with the exhaust fumes while using the equipment.
Safety Features are Top Considerations
Any 18v grass trimmer should have built-in safety features. If you have children, you do not want them to touch the equipment. While grass trimmers use plastic string rather than blades, the string can still cut through the skin. Look for 18v grass trimmer edgers with a spacious cover plate that protects the user from objects that might be thrown by the trimmer, including sticks and stones.
Your 18v grass trimmer must be UL listed per federal laws. If you cannot find any information on the UL listing, avoid that brand.
