The most popular weed eater is a weed eater with a string. That string is cutting the weed in your yard and sometimes can be tricky to replace it once it wears down. That is why there is another type of weed eaters called the no string weed eater, which doesn’t use strings as the tool for cutting grass.
The most popular version of the weed eater without string is the blade weed eater. As you can assume, that tool uses the blade to cut the grass and it is much sharper and harder to use than the string trimmer. When I say harder to use, I don’t mean it is complicated because they look the same and the only difference is the type of blade. I mean that this one is more dangerous which means you can get injured and you can damage the pathway in your yard and that is why the weed eater without string is recommended for really hard and thick weed and for people with experience.
That is the reason why there aren’t that many no-string weed eaters on the market. They are made to cut heavier weed which isn’t in most of the neighborhood backyards so people don’t really need that kind of trimmer. But, if you fight with a special type of weed and you really want to destroy everything you can definitely check out no string weed eater models.
That is why I decided to make short reviews of top 3 string trimmer models on the market. You can check them out and see if one of those weed eaters without string is the right choice for you.
Top 3 No String Weed Eater Models
Sun Joe Electric Stringless Trimmer SB601E
This no string weed eater is one of the most popular models and the Sun Joe is one of few brands that produce this type of trimmers. This stringless trimmer is a trimmer that comes with a cord so you can’t use it if you don’t have an electric socket near you. That is why I would recommend it for smaller to medium yards. The great thing about this trimmer is that it is easy to use and it is very light – it has 5.6 lbs so you don’t have to wear a shoulder strap when you are using it for a long time. This trimmer is also an edger and the only motion you have to do to transform it is to rotate it. Besides that, it is very user-friendly. You can adjust the telescopic shaft and you don’t have to worry about replacing the spool.
Pros:
It is a trimmer and an edger which is great.
It comes with the adjustable shaft and it is light only 5.6 lbs.
Cons:
It comes with a cord so you have to have the electric socket near you.
MLG Tools Cordless No String Weed Eater ET1101
MLG is not one of the most popular and well-known brands for gardening tools, but they are the only on this list (alongside Sun Joe) that produce weed eaters without string. This model is different from the previous Sun Joe model because it is battery powered which means you can carry it around. It doesn’t use cord, it has its own battery and a charger for the battery and the battery lasts about 30 minutes, which is OK, but not too great. When it comes to user-friendly features, this is a good trimmer. It comes with a telescopic handle, one additional handle you can install on the trimmer and wheels on the bottom so you can easily control the trimmer. It is also a trimmer and an edger and you can rotate the head +90°, -90°and 180°. This stringless trimmer comes with two blades so you don’t have to replace the spool, just be careful when you are using the trimmer.
Pros:
It is a trimmer and an edger which is great.
It is very user-friendly. It comes with additional handle and wheels on the bottom.
Cons:
The battery lasts about 30 minutes, could be longer.
Sun Joe Electric Stringless Trimmer SB602E
Another Sun Joe weed eater without string is actually very similar to the Sun Joe model above. It is also a corded electric trimmer so you have to use it near your household which is great if you are looking for a trimmer for your yard. But, if you are looking for a trimmer for a field or something in nature, then you should go with the battery powered one. This no string weed eater also comes with two blades that will cut almost every type of weed you can find so you can be sure that it will get the job done quickly. The weed eater is user-friendly because it comes with a telescopic and a straight shaft so you can reach all those tricky places in your yard. Just like other two weed eaters without string, this one can also be turned into an edger due to the rotating head.
Pros:
It is a trimmer and an edger which is great.
It comes with adjustable and a straight shaft so you can reach tricky places in the yard.
