In在…内 Part 5第5部分 of our series of articles reviewing the new solar charged 24V brushless electric lawn mower from Linamar Consumer Products, we reviewed our experience with our test drive of this new lawn mower.我们的系列文章回顾新太阳能被控的24 V无刷电动草坪割草机从linamar消费产品,我们检讨我们的经验与我们的测试驱动器这项新草坪割草机。
After we published that article we received several direct emails and comments including more than one on how the lawn mower performed in heavy or thick grass.之后,我们发表文章指出,我们所收到的几个直接的电子邮件和评论,包括一个以上的就如何草坪割草机表现在重型或厚的草。 Now we can report back to you on our results.现在我们可以向您报告对我们的实验结果。 Remember though, I am not an engineer or scientist so this is not in any way a controlled experiment.请记住,虽然,我不是一个工程师或科学家,因此,这是不以任何方式对照实验。
The day after we performed our test drive we went away on a two week vacation.一天后,我们履行我们的测试驱动器 ,我们到外的一两个星期的假期。 We asked Jen, one of our daughters who stayed behind at home, not to cut the grass while we were away.我们问仁,我们的一个女儿,谁留下来在家里,不要削减基层,而我们离开。 She gladly complied with the request.她很乐意遵守的要求。 ![]()
So, by the time we returned and went to mow the lawn a full 17 days has passed.因此,我们的时间返回到mow草坪全面17天已经过去了。 Our freshly fertilized lawn had grown a substantial amount.我们刚受精的草坪上增加了一笔可观。 This was a really good test we thought to see if this new solar charged mower was as good as advertised, ie as powerful as a gas powered lawn mower.这是一个真正好的测试,我们认为,看看这个新的太阳能被控割草机一样好广告,即作为作为一个强大的气动力草坪割草机。
The answer was …..答案是… .. yes … with a slight qualification.是…一个轻微的资格。
Our lawn measured 66 feet by 50 feet in the front and 66 feet by 70 feet in the back.我们的草坪衡量六六英尺由50英尺,在前线和六六英尺由七十〇英尺在后面。 As well there is another 10 feet by 70 feet on the other side of the driveway shown below before any mowing.以及还有另外一个10英尺70英尺的另一边的车道上,如下所示之前,任何刈割。
Overall I was pleased with the performance.整体,我很高兴与表现。 As far as the visuals here are several pictures that may help with the understanding of the thickness and height of our overgrown lawn.据视觉这里有几张图片可能有助与理解的厚度和高度,我们过草地。 First the main front lawn shown immediately prior to the operation of the mower and the second partially cut.第一主阵地草坪表明,立即运作前的割草机和第二部分削减。
This next before and partial after picture shows the other side of the driveway lawn before and after a partial cut.这在明年之前和之后,部分图片显示的另一边的车道上草坪之前和之后的部分削减。
I called this performance a slightly qualified yes above.我呼吁这表现略有合格的是以上。 Let me explain.让我解释一下。
First, as you might be able to see from the above pictures for the side lawn there was in my opinion (and you know what they say… beauty is in the eye of the beholder) the grass clippings left were excessive in length for a mulching operation.首先,正如你可能可以看到从以上图片为一侧草坪有,我认为(和你知道什么,他们说… …美是在眼睛的beholder )基层剪报左过多,在长度为1地膜运作。 Well, as I discovered there is a reason for this.以及,正如我发现有一个原因。
The mower is sold with the grass catching rear bag as well as with the rear ‘flap’ if one wants to mulch the grass.该割草机是出售与基层追赶后方袋,以及与后方'瓣' ,如果要覆盖基层。 However, there is a separate blade specific for mulching.不过,有一个单独的刀片具体为地膜。 The standard model does not come with the mulching blade.标准模型的不来与覆膜刀片。 One has to order it separately.一要为了它分开。 I failed to realize this.我没有认识到这一点。 I will obtain this mulching blade and see how it performs.我会获得此覆盖刀片和看它如何执行。
Second, I did not run on fully charged batteries.第二,我没有上运行完全充电电池。 It was a risk, but I wanted to do the test and tell y’all about it that I did not wait until the charging station indicated the batteries were fully charged.这是一个风险,但我想这样做试验,并告诉y'all它,我并没有等到收费站表示,电池完全充电。 So, the mower did fully mow the main and side front lawn and only a part of the back yard before the batteries gave out.因此,割草机没有充分mow的主要方面和前面的草坪,只有部分的后院之前,电池了。
But, I then tried to use my old corded electric lawn mower on the remaining part of the back lawn.但是,我,然后试图使用旧的有线电动草坪割草机对其余部分的回草坪。 What a difference.有什么差别。 First, I appreciated the self propelled feature of the Linamar mower and I had already forgotten how much effort it was to use my old corded mower.首先,我赞赏自我推进的特点,该linamar割草机和我已经忘记了多大努力,这是使用旧的有线割草机。
And, second, even though I had the blade for the old corded electric mower sharpened late last fall, I had to go over the grass two and sometimes three times before it was cut with my old mower.及第二,即使我有刀片为旧的有线电动割草机激化晚去年秋天,我不得不走基层,二,有时甚至3倍之前,它被切断,与我的老割草机。 I did not have to re-cut ANY of the front lawn or the portion of the back lawn that was cut with the solar charged lawn mower.我没有再削减的任何前草坪或部分后面的草坪上,这是削减与太阳落案控告草坪割草机。 This I did not expect yet was pleasantly surprised.这是我没有料到,但是意外的惊喜。
So, was the solar charged mower as powerful as a gas powered lawn mower?因此,是太阳能被控割草机作为作为一个强大的气动力草坪割草机? Well, it certainly was more powerful than my old corded electric mower.以及,当然是更强大的,比我的旧的有线电动割草机。 I don’t have a gas powered mower to undertake a direct test.我手边没有气体动力割草机进行一个直接的考验。 Did the batteries last for the full lawn?没有电池去年为充分草坪? I can’t answer that as I did not wait until the batteries were fully charged.我不能回答这正如我没有等到电池完全充电。 Sorry about that.对此深感抱歉。 And, did it provide sufficient mulching capability?并没有提供足够的覆盖能力? I’ll have to wait, along with the rest of you, until I receive the optional mulching blade and run another test.我将要等待,随着其余的你,直到我收到的任择覆盖刀片和运行的另一个考验。

It’sa very good idea to have on of these gadgets at home especially if you are fond of lawns and you have a very big backyard to do mowering.这是很好的构思,已对这些小工具在家里,尤其是如果你是喜欢草坪和你有一个很大的后院做mowering 。
Just curious BTW, what if I like to use it in the afternoon where the sun won’t hurt the skin?只是好奇的BTW ,如果我想用它在下午的情况下,太阳不会伤害皮肤呢?

There is no issue.有没有问题。 You can use the mower at any time, day or night, as you would any other lawn mower.您可以使用割草机在任何时间,白天或夜晚,您是否有任何其他草坪割草机。 The solar charging station, as described in prior articles, is separate from the mower itself.太阳能充电站,所描述的事先文章,是分开的,从割草机本身。

I used my for the 3rd time yesterday.我用为第三时间昨天。 The grass had grown very long (probably 5\”) and I used the highest setting.基层增加了很长的(可能是5 \ “ )和我用了最高设置。 The batteries were fully charged when I started.电池完全充电当我开始。 I did not go self-propelled because I felt it wouldn\’t cut properly since I find the drive too quick, and I felt there would be too little mulching action… understanding that I don\’t have the mulching blade.我没有去自推进的,因为我觉得这也不会\ '吨削减妥善以来,我觉得驱动器太快,我觉得会有太少,地膜行动…的理解是,我不\ '吨有地膜的刀片。 (But, as I understand it, a mulching blade is supposed to redirect the cut grass upward into the cutting chamber so that it get re-cut over and over. The default blade does seem to have angled ends to allow this to happen, but alas, there wasn\’t much mulch apart from what was stuck on the inside of the chamber.) Unfortunately, the batteries died before I could finish cutting. (但,据我所知,地膜刀片是重定向削减基层上升到切割分庭,以便它再削减超过以上。默认刀锋似乎有直角完容许这种情况出现,但可惜的是,有wasn \ '吨多秸秆,除了从什么是停留在内部的会议厅。 )不幸的是,电池死亡之前,我可以完成切割。 Note to self, cut front lawn first, then back lawn.注意:要自律,削减前的草坪第一,然后回到草坪。 I have about 4000sf of lawn.我曾约4000sf草坪。 So the fact that I purposely took longer to cut longer grass resulted in batteries dieing before completion.因此,事实上,我故意需时较长,以减少基层较长,导致电池垂死前完成。 I figure it took about 1 hr for the batteries to die. i的数字,花了约1小时为电池死。

Hi Henry,喜亨利,
Thanks very much for the comments.非常感谢为意见。 Great feedback on your experiences.伟大的反馈,您的经验。
I agree that the mulching blade would help with the mulching.我同意了地膜刀片将有助于与覆盖。 In fact, I just received mine today and will replace the standard blade over the weekend and take on another ‘test drive’, this time on a ‘mulching test drive’.事实上,我刚收到煤矿今天将取代标准的刀片本周末和采取的另一项测试驱动器' ,这个时候就'地膜测试驱动器' 。
