Weight

• An electric weed trimmer is much lighter than a gas model due to the fact that there is no bulky internal combustion engine. The electric motor is small and lightweight, which makes carrying the unit more comfortable.
  
  

Noise

• The main noise that an electric weed trimmer produces is the sound of the trimming wires moving through the air and cutting brush. The electric motor itself is very quiet.
  
  

Emissions

• An electric weed trimmer produces no exhaust so the user does not have to worry about breathing gas fumes or further polluting the air.
  
  

Price

• In general, electric weed trimmers are cheaper than comparable gas powered models. However pricing is heavily dependent on features chosen and the place of purchase.
  
  

Considerations

• While electric weed trimmers have many benefits, they also suffer a few drawbacks. Electric weed trimmers lack in power compared to gas versions and an electric weed trimmer is limited by extension cord length or rechargeable battery life.
