Lawn weeders are mainly divided into the following four categories: Reel Lawn weeders, Electric weeders(Gas weeders, Riding Lawn weeders).

It is in a small size, easy to operate and easy to store. The base width is between 14-20 inches, suitable for small lawns. The disadvantage is that the grass is easy to get stuck between the blades, and it will not get stuck when pushed.

Cordless electric lawn weeder
Wireless electric lawn weeders rely on rechargeable batteries and need to be charged in advance. They are more convenient to use. They are more expensive than wired electric lawn weeders. However, the battery life is limited and one needs to be replaced in two or three years. New batteries are usually not cheap for many gardeners.
Gasoline lawn weeder
Gasoline lawn weeders are divided into front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is a bit more labor-saving and suitable for use on sloped lawns. Most gasoline lawn weeders are equipped with a coil spring starter, which can start the engine by pulling the connection with a buzzing sound, but there are also electric starters, just like a car start.
Riding Lawn weeders
If your lawn is large and you don't need money, you can buy a riding lawn weeder. The advantage is that it has enough horsepower and is easy to use. It is suitable for large areas of lawn. The disadvantage is that the price is higher, usually thousands of money.
How to choose a lawn weeder
Buy a lawn weeder according to your own actual needs. The lawn is not big, manual type is fine. If the lawn is more than 2,000 feet, it's a good choice to choose electric if you don't like maintenance. If you want a longer service life, choosing gasoline is proper. If you want to exercise while mowing the lawn, you'd better choose push, or self-propelled if you want to save effort; choose front wheel drive or rear wheel drive for flat lawns, and all wheel drive for sloped lawns. If the lawn is more than 4,000 feet, it must be a luxury house.
