By comparison, electric strimmers (even the biggest) are weaklings! I
know you know but a few Garden Banter readers may pick this post up.

Depends how big, my Ryobi electric 'head' is just as powerful, if not a
little more powerful than the petrol powered heads. It should be
because it's 1000 watts and that's pretty close to the 1hp of the petrol
ones.

If the weeds include nettles they can be a PITA. Being very tough the
tend to wrap around the head, causing problems. Frequent clearing of the
head is the order of the day.
