Stiga lawn mowers and trimmers: range, pros and cons
Lawn mowers and trimmers are a very popular type of garden technique, as they can be used to easily improve any lawn. This article will focus on Stiga units, their pros and cons, a variety of models.
Advantages and disadvantages
Stiga is a Swedish company with a leading position in gardening equipment manufacturers. Distinctive properties of its products are: reliability, durability, ability to withstand the whims of nature. The factories of this company are located in many parts of the world, so do not be surprised that the country of origin of your mower is, for example, China. If it's genuine and not fake, you don't have to worry about quality.
Lawn mowers and trimmers come in three varieties: petrol, electric and battery. Each of these types of technique has its own advantages and disadvantages.
If we take the technique that runs on gasoline, then its advantages will be:
- autonomy of work - it does not depend on the current source;
- high power and performance indicators;
- simplicity and reliability in management;
- large collectors.
Among the shortcomings, first of all, there are:
- the noise level and vibration indicators are too high (therefore, it is recommended to protect the hearing organs with headphones when working);
- exhaust pollution.
Electric devices are environmentally friendly, compact, easy to operate and maintain, affordable, but at the same time dependent on the electric current network and relatively low power.
Rechargeable models, unlike just electrical analogs, are autonomous, but their operating time is limited by the capacity of the battery and usually does not exceed 1–2 hours.
Description and technical characteristics of models
Stiga produces several model lines of lawn mowers, among which the most famous are series such as Multiclip, Collector, Combi, Twinclip... Interestingly, both gasoline and electric / battery models can be included in the same line.
A separate type is robotic mowers - self-propelled devices that work according to a given program and do not need constant human control.
The tables show the main characteristics of the models of various lines.
