What is the difference between a weed whacker and a lawn mower?

Answer by  Rogbog (203)

Basically, a weed whacker cut weeds. A lawn mower cuts grows. But, a weed whacker is a wonderful solution for very high grass which could clog a mover's blades sometimes.

A weed whacker cuts grass and tall weeds. It is hand held. A lawn mower is pushed across the ground while a rotating blade underneath it, trims the shorter grass.

A week whacker is often electric and is hand held. You use a weed whacker to the areas in which the lawn mower can not go, it is for non grassy areas, for smaller areas and for areas in that weeds and grass do not belong.

You really don't want to tackle your whole lawn with a weed whacker, it would get tedious! Weed whackers are primarily used for edge trimming, while a lawn mower, be it push or riding, is used to cut grass over the main area of your lawn.

A weed whacker is hand held. It is used to hit spaces close to fences or objects in a yard where a lawn mower can't get close enough to.
