There are many kinds of mowers.
Today lawn mowers are available in two major varieties, manual and automatic.
The automatic mower consist of two varieties again.
One of these categories belongs to the petrol mowers and the others are the battery powered mowers.
The battery run lawn mowers have got the engine that runs on battery.
These lawn mowers are ideal for a small garden as the efforts required even by an engine in cutting through the grass are immense and usually in devices as big as these, the battery installed requires a considerable amount of charging before the mower actually starts working and is able to clear the garden of any over growths and helps keep the grass trim and tidy.
These engines are relatively quiet and because there is the battery chargeable engine installed, they do not burn any fuel or emit any smoke.
All that one will hear off of these lawn mowers is the voice of the blade cutting through the grass.
However, if one does not want the battery run mower, one can opt for the wired mowers, which - as the name suggests - draw power from the electricity mains and help it to run the mower engine.
However, the wire attached to the mower can be cumbersome at times and hence it is not really popular.
But like its battery counterpart, this mower is made up of an engine that is once again quiet and is totally efficient till it is connected to the mains.
However, one has to be very careful with the electricity run lawn mower because it should not be run in the presence of water in the lawn or the lawn being exceedingly wet.
The best alternative for mowing the lawn are the petrol mower which does not require being attached to any mains or run on batteries that do not sustain sufficient power to help a gardening enthusiast mow a bigger lawn.
There is no issue related to wet lawns as well.
Petrol mowers are easy to maintain as well in comparison with their electricity run counterparts owing to the simpler engine design.
