If you are looking for a simple string trimmer mainly for lighter duties and don’t want to spend a lot of money, you have come to the right place. Here we present you our most recommended cheap weed wackers – with ratings, prices and reviews:
Electric
Best price: The cheapest weed eater available, designed for ordinary duties on smaller yards. It has enough power, but users also mention several problems.
Our most recommended: A bit more costly but with solid power and many useful adjustments – our most recommended electric model.
Cordless
Best choice: Our most recommended cordless weed eater for the money – quality unit, lightweight and also with solid battery working time.
Adjustable and with tilting head: Designed for lighter duties and cleanup as it doesn’t have enough power for heavier trimming.

Gas powered
Powerful: Inexpensive gas unit, powerful and not too heavy. Its disadvantages are higher noise level, vibrations and some users even reported problems with stalling.
