Calling all petrol strimmer users....!
For years i've used a several petrol strimmers to control a wild area
at the bottom of the garden.
About two years ago i started developing a cordless electric strimmer
capable of doing this job as i was becoming more and more frustrated
with the start up/maintenance problems i kept getting with the petrol
product. It's been a labour of much frustration, and at least i'm
using my degree finally, but i think i've made a product of some
worth.
Cordless products generally have a bad reputation, but with this one
the cutting performance is genuinely good and can do the jon. I reckon
it could be something to take to a manufacturer (patent application
filed!)
But just to understand more i was hoping you could answer a few
questions:
1) How long, generally, do you use your petrol strimmer for on full
throttle?
(I need a target for the battery runtime)
2) How many times do you use your petrol strimmer a year
3) What vegetation do you mainly cut? Lawn grass, Long grass, Weeds,
etc
4) What size area do you cut? 10sqm, 20sqm, 30sqm, etc....?
I don't think this will ever be a Dyson, but it's been an interesting
experience, let's see if it can go any further!
Your thoughts would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alistair
