If you’re dreading the back-breaking chore of weeding your garden, this £70 electric weed remover is here to save the day, with users saying it makes it ‘so easy’
The change in weather has got us all looking forward to more time spent outside in the garden, but before we can sit back and relax with a drink, it probably needs some TLC. The long, wet winter has probably seen weeds sprouting up left and right across your patio and decking, which usually means hours of back-breaking work spent pulling them back up.
But if you want to save some time – and your sanity – then this NETTA Cordless Weed Sweeper & Electric Weed Remover is a must-buy for spring. Available for £69.99 at Amazon, the electronic cordless weed remover pulls up all those pesky plants you don’t want growing.

Although it’s cordless, it has a powerful 1200 rpm motor with an 80 minute run time which should be more than enough time to tackle patios, paths and driveways. The NETTA Cordless Weed Remover has a long, height-adjustable handle which extends from 1m to 1.22m, so you don’t need to spend time bent over and can reach into awkward corners.
It comes with two 10cm brushes; one nylon for light debris, and one made from steel wire that’s suited to stubborn growths. Simply trundle it along the areas you want to weed, and it’ll remove everything from plants to moss in seconds.
As well as making the task itself quicker and easier, the NETTA Cordless Weed Sweeper & Electric Weed Remover requires no chemical weed killer to be applied to help pull them up. This makes it much safer if you have pets or young children who are regularly out in the garden, and keeps your soil and surrounding plants healthy and protected.
You can also pick up similar models like the Vonhaus 150W Corded Weed Sweeper at Robert Dyas for £49.99. Meanwhile at Thompson & Morgan, the Garden Gear 20V Cordless Weed Sweeper is available with multiple options, including bundling up spare accessories and batteries.
However the NETTA Cordless Weed Remover has great reviews from keen gardeners, with one saying: “The battery lasts long and is easy to charge, as the charger is supplied. It is lightweight and easy to use and does a great job to a depth of 2 inches. I wish I had known of this gadget earlier, as it makes getting rid of the weeds so easy. It is highly recommended; I may buy another one.”
And another said: “I wish I had bought this years ago ! Much much better for my back. I find that switching arms gives me about 2 hours before I can’t continue, and there is still charge in the battery.”
However one shopper said: “Needs more power in my opinion and wire wheel could be a bit wider.”
Whilst another agreed: “Works ok on small weeds but not on tough ones. It doesn’t work if the paving it not even. It does save on bending to remove the weeds, although they need to be swept up. It would also help to have the battery light visible so one could tell when it needs charging.”
However others praised the NETTA Cordless Weed Remover , saying: “Charges quickly and wire brush works well on a brick driveway approx 12m x 5m, one brush lasted for this area. Quick and easy to use, I used a leaf blower to clear the debris as I went. Maybe get an extra battery for next time.”
