Top 10 Algae Scrapers

6. Hi-Vac ReadyStart

The Hi-Vac ReadyStart (appx. $707) features a Briggs & Stratton engine that doesn’t need to be primed to start, nor will you have to open a choke to get it running properly. That makes it easier to use, especially for anyone new to lawn care.

5. SP 60V 4AH

The SP 60V 4AH (around $500) uses a battery that’s compatible with a wide range of other landscaping tools offered by the same company. It can mow up to half an acre on a single charge, and it does so without making very much noise at all.

4. Commercial Variable Speed 190CC

Homeowners interested in distributing their clippings as they mow will appreciate the “ninja” blade system on the Commercial Variable Speed 190CC (around $659). Its six cutting surfaces mulch the grass effectively before the unit blows them onto the lawn.

3. Self-Propelled Gas Powered Dual-Lever

The Self-Propelled Gas Powered Dual-Lever (about $600) is ideal for yards of up to one acre, as its propulsion system makes it so you merely have to guide it along, rather than push it with much force. Its motor requires no priming to get started.

2. XD Max Electric Cordless

A compact and eco-friendly option, the XD Max Electric Cordless (appx. $470) runs on an 82-volt battery instead of relying on gasoline or an extension cord for power. It only takes about a half-hour to charge, and it will last for up to 45 minutes.

1. Rear Wheel Drive 3-In-1

The Rear Wheel Drive 3-In-1 (around $849) features a powerful, 163cc Honda GXV engine that can tear through even the most stubborn patches of grass with ease. Adjusting the cutting height is as easy as squeezing a conveniently placed handle

4. Husqvarna 580BTS

From one of the oldest companies in the world, the Husqvarna 580BTS (around $579) lives up to its manufacturer’s reputation by outperforming nearly everything else on the market. It’s intended for commercial use, as indicated by its high cost.

3. Ego Power+ LB6000

Surprisingly effective for an electric model, the 5 amp hour battery pack in the Ego Power+ LB6000 (around $738) is compatible with a line of well-regarded cordless tools. Achieving air speeds of up to 145 mph, it’s a worthy competitor to a gas-powered model.

2. Husqvarna 150BT

At roughly half the price of the heavy-hitting models, the Husqvarna 150BT (around $297) is perfect for the homeowner or part-time landscaper who doesn’t want to spend a fortune, but has a yard full of debris to clean up. And it actually moves air faster than its more expensive cousins.

1. Makita 4-Stroke

Leaves don’t stand a chance with the Makita 4-Stroke (appx. $546) strapped to your back. Its powerful 75cc engine is highly efficient and meets EPA standards for exhaust emissions, and it offers plenty of ventilation to keep hot air away from your body.
