Brush cutter comparisons

Torn between two options? These head-to-head guides settle the big questions — by type, engine and brand.

In short:We publish 162 brush cutter comparisons: 12 core guides on the big decisions (petrol vs battery, battery vs corded, 2-stroke vs 4-stroke, line vs blade, brush cutter vs strimmer or lawnmower and the main brand match-ups), 34 brand-vs-brand pages and 102 model-vs-model pages built from the specs in our reviews. Each model comparison gives both machines' power, weight, cut width, handle and kit side by side, with UK prices where Amazon.co.uk listed them.

How we compare

Every model-vs-model page is built from the specifications in our two reviews — manufacturer data and UK retail listings — and shows them in one table: power source, engine size or voltage, power, weight, cut width, handle, what is in the box and whether the machine takes a metal blade. Weights are quoted the way each maker quotes them, often without fuel, battery or cutting tool, so check the basis before comparing. Prices are Amazon.co.uk prices on the date shown, where a live offer existed.
