You\u2019ll have to drag an extension cord behind you and be careful not to get tangled up in it. <\/p>    <p>Corded electric weed eaters are often powerful and affordable, but they\u2019re not ideal for people with large properties or sparse outdoor outlets.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p><strong>Gas:<\/strong> A gas trimmer is going to be much more portable than the corded electric variety. These trimmers are powered by combustion engines that can pack a serious punch. <\/p>    <p>However, the gas weed wacker has its drawbacks. These machines can be loud, and they emit harmful emissions. Gas weed eaters also take a lot of maintenance, making it easy to ruin your engine if it is not cared for properly.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p><strong>Battery:<\/strong> Battery-powered weed eaters combine the best of both worlds. Powered by lithium-ion batteries, cordless models are easy to maintain and easy on the environment while offering all the portability of a handheld combustion engine. <\/p>    <p>Depending on the model, you might sacrifice some power in going with batteries. However, the 60-volt engines will cut through weeds just as effectively as most gasoline-powered models on the market.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Check out this video breaking down the differences between gas- and battery-powered weed eaters:&nbsp;<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe title=\"Gas vs Battery Powered String Trimmers for a Lawn Care Business\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z2ihJOu9e0A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cordless weed eaters: key metrics<\/h3>    <p>If you have never bought a cordless weed eater before, all of the statistics can be confusing. Let\u2019s define some of the key terms:&nbsp;<\/p>    <p><strong>Power:<\/strong> You\u2019ll want a weed eater that can cut cleanly through thick grasses and weeds. This will take a little spinning power. Battery-powered machinery uses volts as a measure of electromotive force. The higher the volts, the more spinning power.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p><strong>Maximum cutting width:<\/strong> This measurement simply tells you how much grass you can cut with one swipe. This is the diameter of the cut made by the spinning strings. You may want a smaller cutting width for trimming hard-to-reach spaces, but a larger one allows you to cut more grass at once.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p><strong>Battery capacity:<\/strong> Everything powered by batteries will eventually need to be recharged. How soon you need to recharge depends on the model and the quality of the battery. <\/p>    <p>Amp hour (also referred to as ampere hour, and abbreviated as Ah) is a unit of electrical charge multiplied by time. One amp hour represents a battery\u2019s capacity to put out one amp of electricity for one hour. The more amp hours, the longer your run time.<\/p>    <p><strong>Weight:<\/strong> The importance of weight will depend on your individual needs. If you\u2019re training to become a bodybuilder and think yard work is a good chance to get a few reps in, you won\u2019t mind trimming weeds with a 13-pound machine. For those needing a more lightweight option, there are plenty of string trimmers offered between 5-7 pounds.<\/p>    <p><strong>Price: <\/strong>You want to get a good value for your money, so we weighed the cost of the weed eaters on our list. Cordless weed eaters can range widely in price, but depending on your budget you should be able to find a capable machine within your specific needs and parameters.<\/p>    <p><strong>Warranty:<\/strong> A warranty is a company\u2019s guarantee to replace broken parts within a given time frame. A company that gives a longer warranty stands more strongly behind the quality of its product. <\/p>    <p>If you plan on keeping your machine running year after year, you will want a longer warranty from the manufacturer.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ about Cordless Weed Eaters<\/h2>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1615308420245\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1. <strong>What&#8217;s the best cordless weed eater I can buy?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">By our measurements, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2PPdwdu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Remington 40-volt cordless electric string trimmer<\/a> has the best-rated combination of power, cutting width, battery capacity, weight, cost, and warranty.

If you have a small lawn, you can get extension cords up to 100 feet. <br\/><br\/>If you have a large lawn or would just rather invest in something more portable, battery-powered weed eaters may be a better option.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1615308471115\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">4. <strong>How long can I run the trimmer on one battery charge?<\/strong><br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This will depend on the battery capacity of your particular weed eater. Amp hours are a measurement of electrical output as well as time, so a machine that requires more electricity may not last as long. <br\/><br\/>In general, we find weed eaters trim anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half before you need to break out the charger.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p>Now that you\u2019ve got a firm grasp of the top 10 cordless weed eaters and what to look for in this tool, you should be ready to get that clean cut, perfectly edged yard you\u2019ve always wanted.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>However, if you decide you\u2019d rather have pros go to work on your yard, we\u2019d be happy to help you find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/lawn-care\">lawn care professional near you<\/a>. <\/p>    <p><em>LawnStarter participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other retailer affiliate programs.
