Low noise and vibration
The inexpensive electric cultivator CHAMPION EC1400 is a simple and healthy solution for maintaining the land allotment in the local area in the proper form. This lightweight (11 kg) and compact power tool will appeal to gardeners and summer residents, and will ease the burden of heavy manual work on the ground. The basis of the device is a commutator brushed AC motor with a power of 1400 W, which rotates 6 working cutters through a worm gear. The idle rotation speed of 280 rpm claimed by the manufacturer is enough for a deep passage (22 cm) of a cultivator capable of processing a strip 40 cm wide. These are very good characteristics for such a “baby”. Although, practice shows that for deep study, the unit is too light and requires additional weighting. At the same time, the device has an acceptable noise level of 82 dB and vibration of 1.15 m/s2, comparable to the parameters of a working vacuum cleaner of the same power.
Easy to carry in car boot
The electric hoe is equipped with a assembled working handle, on which a panel with a safety button and a starting lever are installed. A pair of wheels with rubber treads Ø 15 cm provides convenient transportation and direction of the working stroke. Like all devices of this class, the cultivator does not have a coulter and can only move at one speed. But for a low-cost soil cultivator, this is not a problem at all. The main advantages of the model are ease of movement, ease of manoeuvring around the site, environmental friendliness and affordable price tag. The small size of the device with a collapsible handle makes it easy to transport it in the boot of a car and store it in a country shed.
