While both electric lawn mowers and petrol lawn mowers deliver outstanding results, there are clear distinctions between the two, which may make one model more suitable for specific applications.
While petrol lawn mowers are not as ecologically friendly as electric lawn mowers, they have a longer run time, a wider mowing range, higher dependability, and more power. As a result, petrol lawn mowers are better suited to larger turf projects with challenging terrain.
Electric lawn mowers are ideal for smaller lawns and are available in two varieties, battery-powered and corded. While both are environmentally friendly choices, they also come with drawbacks. Battery electric mowers are constantly at risk of running out of energy before you finish the task, and corded electric mowers have a restricted range.
Cutting diameter, which is the size of the blade slicing the grass, is another factor to consider. Petrol lawn mowers generally have a 45-50 cm cutting diameter, whilst electric lawn mowers typically have a 30-40 cm cutting diameter. While this may not seem like much, 10-20 cm will save users a couple of mowing laps around the lawn.
