What is electric equipment?

The most important buying criteria at a glance
Before deciding, clarify these points. They will help you find the right device.
Application and main task
Define the main purpose. Do you need a device for mowing, working with wood or transporting loads? An all-rounder is rare. Specialised devices work more efficiently.
Power and battery life
Motor power in watts indicates the potential. But practical performance is more important. A powerful motor also uses more electricity. Pay attention to the battery capacity. It determines how long you can work without a break.
Handling and weight
Check whether you can guide the device comfortably. Is the centre of gravity well positioned? How is the weight distributed? Electric equipment that is too heavy will quickly tire you out, especially when you have to carry it.
Tip: Ask about spare batteries. A second battery doubles your working time. You can charge one while working with the other. This is a major productivity benefit.
