It takes a couple of days for this to happen though and, as is usual with my reviews, I didn’t read the instructions. This is great for getting a really quick idea of the quality just by seeing the sort of quality you can expect. Unfortunately, there were dozens and dozens of 1-star reviews from consumers who felt that the product didn’t work because the weed was still there after blasting it with the weed burner.

Plant pods are included with the kit and you can choose from a selection of pre-seeded options such as lavender, basil and strawberries. I liked how the heat gun has an adjustable and fully removable handle, making it perfect for reaching into narrow and smaller areas. 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.

An ideal tool that is for those who wish to eradicate weeds from their gardens, whilst respecting the environment. 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. 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.

ToolTronix is known for producing professional and DIY tools such as garden trimmers, saws, multi-tools and tyre inflaters. A protective cone– provides precise and targeted treatment, ensuring surrounding plants aren’t damaged which makes it the perfect selective weed killer. I would have liked to see a much longer cable, you’ll need an extension lead with this electric weed burner, even if you have a tiny garden. 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. There’s also a protective shield to ensure precise treatment as well as a special function for BBQ lighting, should it be needed.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. The short power lead, as with many other products, the power lead was far too short, so you’ll need an extension. Getting rid of these usually involves me pulling them out individually or using one of those high-pressure washers. Overall we’re really impressed with Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder and that shows in our overall score of 9.
