String Trimmer Reviews & Edgers

You really can’t do lawn care without a good string trimmer. That is why we have created comparative reviews for the best trimmers in each category:

Here, you will also find comprehensive reviews for each individual product. We focus our reviews on cut quality, cutting speed, features, and more. For battery-powered models, run-time is a huge consideration, and string capacity plays a role as well. We also make sure to address usability and durability issues. We only recommend what we’d actually use, even if we don’t earn a commission from it. It’s all about giving you a legitimate recommendation and our honest opinion of each product. We’ve been in business since 2008 covering tools, writing reviews, and reporting on industry news in the construction, automotive, and lawn care industries.
