HOZELOCK - Thermal Weeder Electric Green Power Evolution Plus : Ecological Weedkiller, Creates a 600°C Thermal Shock, No Flame or Gas, Ceramic Heating Elements, Durable Product [4185 1240]

Product Information

The Thermal Weeder delivers a thermal shock of 600 °C to the weed, causing the plant’s cells to burst, destroying the weed within seconds. After years of testing and experimenting with garden products, I’ve found that sometimes the most effective and long-lasting products are the simplest ones that achieve only one task but do it very well. This handy garden gadget from Hozelock treats weeds with a thermal shock of up to 600 degrees to help you clear driveways and paths without chemicals. These products do have an extremely hot heating element that can fail and may need to be repaired or replaced, for this reason alone I think you should choose a trusted brand that offers a warranty period. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand.

This misunderstanding is even present on YouTube, where I saw a gardener blasting a single weed into oblivion for 30 seconds and then recommending others do the same. A protective cone – provides precise and targeted treatment, ensuring surrounding plants, that you want to keep, aren’t damaged. As a general rule of thumb; I suggest you keep the heat on the weed until the shiny green leaves turn a matt colour, this usually takes about 5 seconds.The rest of this product is standard stuff; two power settings with a maximum output of 600°, a small nozzle stand, lightweight and reasonably compact. Simplicity – it doesn’t come with tons of attachments that you’ll probably lose somewhere in the shed or need to replace at some point. They aren’t designed to burn weeds to a crisp or vaporize them; they kill the weed, which then degrades naturally; this takes time and won’t happen overnight. It takes a couple of days for this to happen though and, as is usual with my reviews, I didn’t read the instructions. An ideal tool that is for those who wish to eradicate weeds from their gardens, whilst respecting the environment.

Just a quick 3-5 second blast and, even if the weed doesn't look any different, it will do in a couple of days. A protective cone – provides precise and targeted treatment, ensuring surrounding plants aren’t damaged which makes it the perfect selective weed killer.Weed burners are hot enough to kill weeds after only 5 seconds, but the weeds won’t degrade instantly, and if you spend 30 seconds on each weed, the heating element of the burner will fail, or you’ll get frustrated and give up or you’ll leave a trail of scorch marks across your garden!

I’ve never heard of this company and when I looked, I couldn’t find any mention of contact details, warranty period etc. As you can see from my test results, the tool produces excellent results, and you don’t need to burn the weed into oblivion; I found that 5-8 seconds is enough and the foliage withered away over the next few days.
