The URBN GARDEN 3-in-1 Electric Weed Burner is marketed as a multi-functioning tool and comes with an array of nozzle heads which certainly seem impressive. Let’s see how it got on with a task of basic weed killing: If you’re looking for an affordable product that covers the basics but would prefer a device from a trusted brand that honours their warranties, I think you should consider this electric weed burner from Draper. As established, electric weed burners can save you hours of hassle and physical work from manual weeding. They also protect your garden from toxic chemicals that traditional weed killers are made from which means that electric weed killers are a great option to invest in if you find yourself having to weed your garden often. Whilst this electric weed burner clearly damaged the weed on its first use, it didn’t kill it off completely. The roots still seem to be living, as they’re still quite green, so at least another burn will be required to get rid of them.

We hope that this guide has provided you with a bit more knowledge and insight on what things to look out for when shopping for a good electric weed burner. Finally, weed burners are environmentally friendly. They don’t produce any harmful chemicals that can harm the environment, making them a good choice for those who want to do their part in preserving our planet. The best time to use a weed burner Here at Konservatory, we believe that finding an electric weed burner that is comfortable to hold is really important. If you think about it, you might have been avoiding doing the weeding in your garden for quite some time – which, therefore means you might have more than a few unsightly weeds. This is where an ergonomically designed handle becomes useful. We recommend choosing a weed burner that has a soft-grip handle, so that you know holding it for potentially long periods of time won’t cause any discomfort. Gas weed burners are also great if you want a really light tool . From my experience, they’re more than half as heavy as other burners. It has a weed-burning nozzle that stops surrounding plants getting scorched, as well as an 8-ventilation hole BBQ lighter. There’s also a 5 metre power cable, which is a reasonable length.On the downside, it left scorch marks in the surrounding grass. However, on further examination of the instruction leaflet, I can see that it’s ‘not suitable for use in flower beds or on lawns.’ Oops – at least we now know why! One Week Later Make sure to leave it somewhere secure after use – not lying around where the kids might find it – and let it cool down completely before storing. Unit Adjustability Purchasing this product is considered wise not only for its reliability but also for the warranty offered. Yes, you get a 12-month labour warranty and 24 months warranty for the parts too. Pros The device’s design is made so that you can use this in different types of terrain. It can be the patios or the pathways, and it does an incredible job. Other than the confusing hook, there’s just a small clip for the cable on the extension pole which moves up and down. Overall, I feel there should be more to keep the cable safe – it wouldn’t be difficult to burn through by accident.

I think Draper is being a little optimistic with their 3-second suggestion, probably from a fire safety perspective, but there was no need to spend minutes on each weed. It’s simple to use and hot enough to wilt the weeds, but you will likely need to use it more than once on the same weed to kill it off. The next electric weed burner in our guide, is the Qdreclod 5-in-1 Electric Weed Burner. This electric weed killer comes in slightly more expensive than the first weed burner listed above, however, it also comes with a 5-in-1 function. Due to the fact that they work with a visible flame, they are also more likely to scorch hard surfaces such as patios and driveways. Burning fuel also causes fumes and releases greenhouse gases, making gas burners less environmentally friendly than their mains-powered counterparts. With two exceptional heal settings, the device can be operated at 600 degrees Celsius. You can move the device’s nozzle to and fro from the tip of the plant, and you can see the weed dying. The most important aspect is, the weeds naturally get decomposed in time.

The benefits of using a weed burner

Once the temperature is selected, it just needs to warm up. The noise it makes is about the same as a hairdryer. As mentioned, using the extension cable is a tripping hazard, but at least the 5 metre cable gives you a bit more scope. There’s also no emergency shut off (which is the same with most electric weed burners). The machine is shut down only with a manual button and it stays extremely hot for ages.
