Is it time to switch to cordless power?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are of course, pros and cons of owning and operating a battery operated garden machine. But do the pros outweigh the cons, or vice versa? If you’re used to a traditional petrol engine then the idea of a cordless machine can be quite daunting. Will it offer enough power? Will the batteries last long enough? Will it be robust enough? Actually, the answer to these questions is a resounding YES! And consider this; you won\u2019t need to buy fuel EVER AGAIN – that\u2019s right, no last minute trips to the petrol station – which wastes energy, fuel and time and can be quite frustrating when you get your lawn mower or your hedge trimmer (for example) out of your shed, only to discover you haven\u2019t got quite enough fuel to last you the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With attitudes changing and our focus being drawn to subjects such as climate change, saving the planet and trying to reduce our carbon footprint, owning a cordless garden machine rather than a petrol one is definitely a giant step in the right direction. We\u2019ll be the first to admit these lithium-ion batteries are not 100% perfect. They don\u2019t last forever and they are going to be thrown away at some point in the future. But they are still considered a fantastic alternative to working with petrol or electric. They don\u2019t produce any harmful or toxic fumes as you work, which is most certainly better for the planet. Cordless machines are also much quieter, so this is far better for the wildlife (and your neighbours!) too. The modern lithium-ion batteries have been produced to be incredibly energy efficient and very long lasting, so you can use them with a much clearer conscience!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With a battery operated machine<\/a> it’s quite likely you\u2019ll have two batteries, one in your machine and one on charge so you\u2019ll never have to interrupt your work or take any unnecessary breaks. This depends of course on how big your garden is. For smaller gardens you may only want one. The good news is that today\u2019s big brands usually offer an entire range of garden machinery that can all be operated with the same battery, which means you may only need one battery and one charger, but you can add as many different types of machine as you need to your collection.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cordless machinery <\/a>is of course, lighter to work with as the battery itself is in no way as heavy or bulky as a petrol engine and it’s going to be quieter too. You\u2019ll enjoy reduced vibrations and of course, there will be no petrol fumes. Battery operated machinery gives you the ultimate taste of freedom compared with electric garden tools, as you won\u2019t need to worry about working within range of a power supply and there\u2019ll be no electric cables trailing after you. Cordless power is at the very least, a much safer, more convenient option.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So we\u2019ve listed the pros, but are there any cons? Not really, (in our opinion) but you\u2019ll definitely have to consider the size of your garden and the conditions you are working in, before choosing your machine. I suppose what we are saying is, you need to choose your machine more carefully as cordless machines tend to have very specific features. But this is simple enough to do, especially if you take a look through our website where we give you all the details on every single product to allow you to make an informed choice. And of course our knowledgeable team are always on hand to offer honest and reliable advice.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some battery-operated models that have really caught our eye very recently are the brand new Honda DC cordless range<\/a>. You can choose from two cordless lawn mowers (the Honda Izy HRG 466 and the Honda Izy HRG 416), a cordless blower (the Honda HHB 36 AXB 36v), a hedge trimmer (the Honda HHH 36 AXB) and a cordless brush cutter (the Honda HHT 36 AXB). Their battery power delivers an exceptional performance and easily rivals comparable petrol models. There are three sizes of battery (4Ah, 6Ah and 9Ah) and they can all be interchanged between each product. They all use clever thermo-smart technology to continuously monitor the voltage and thermal performance of every cell to ensure the longest-possible running time and lifetime. And of course, each product is covered by Honda\u2019s rock solid warranty.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
