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 |

(I need a target for the battery runtime) A couple of hours. 2) How many times do you use your petrol strimmer a year A couple of times per year, to beat back the brambles, coarse grass and ferns around the perimeter of my property, then use my corded electric strimmer to do the lawn edges, every couple of weeks. 3) What vegetation do you mainly cut? Lawn grass, Long grass, Weeds, etc See above. 4) What size area do you cut? 10sqm, 20sqm, 30sqm, etc....? 15-20sqm 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!
