How powerful of a string trimmer do I need?
In general, a larger landscape needs a more powerful trimmer to efficiently maintain it. Lawns Up to 1/2 Acre: Cordless trimmers ranging from 20-volt max to 40-volt max work well. If there's a power outlet within 100 feet of the lawn perimeter, consider a corded string trimmer. Gas trimmers can work for these too.
What is the best grass trimmer you can buy?
Our top pick is the Ryobi 40-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Electric Cordless String Trimmer (available at Home Depot) for its great performance, ease of use, and coordinating line of compatible tools from Ryobi. Another great option is the budget-friendly Worx 12 Inch 20 Volt Grass Trimmer/Edger (available at Amazon).
What should I look for when buying lawn trimmers?
Look for trimmers with adjustable-length shafts or handles so you can customize the size to your height. Noise output: Gas-powered trimmers are always the loudest; corded electric and battery-powered trimmers are quieter. Even so, it's best to use ear protection when running string trimmers.
