Should I buy petrol or electric hedgetrimmers?

This depends largely on where you are working and the number of hedges, shrubs or bushes you are planning to cut. Electric models are low noise, low maintenance and produce no emissions, but they have limitations when it comes to power and range, as you are limited to areas with mains power and the length of the cable, attached to the mains. 

 

There is generally a wider choice of petrol hedgetrimmers, but for small domestic use, an electric model is often ideal. 

 

There is a large range to select from - it’s your choice.
