RTE115 specifications

The Poulan RTE115 is an exceptional electric string trimmer designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking efficiency, power, and ease of use in lawn care. Known for its reliability and performance, this tool offers key features that make it a standout choice in the gardening market.

One of the primary characteristics of the Poulan RTE115 is its lightweight design. Weighing in at approximately 5.5 pounds, it provides comfortable maneuverability, allowing users to trim grass and weeds without feeling fatigued. This makes it particularly attractive for those with small to medium-sized yards. The trimmer's compact nature means it can easily navigate tight spaces, edges, and corners, ensuring a neat finish throughout the yard.

Equipped with a powerful 115-volt motor, the RTE115 delivers sufficient power to handle a variety of tasks. This motor ensures a consistent performance, enabling users to cut through thicker grass and persistent weeds with relative ease. The automatic line feed system is another beneficial feature that simplifies the trimming process. With this technology, the trimmer automatically feeds the line as needed, minimizing interruptions for line replacements and allowing you to focus on the job at hand.

Another notable feature of the Poulan RTE115 is its adjustable handle. This ergonomic design not only ensures comfort during extended use but also allows users of different heights to find a suitable position for trimming. The ability to adjust the handle enhances control and precision while working, contributing to a more enjoyable and efficient experience.

The dual-line cutting system is also a highlight of the RTE115. This feature increases the cutting area and allows for faster, more effective trimming sessions. Users can enjoy a clean, manicured look for their lawns without the hassle of constantly re-trimming areas.

In addition to its robust functionality, the Poulan RTE115 promotes a more environmentally friendly approach to lawn care. Being electric, it produces zero emissions, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious gardeners. Plus, the elimination of gasoline refills means that maintenance is considerably lower than with traditional gas-powered trimmers.

In conclusion, the Poulan RTE115 is an enthusiastic choice for those in search of a dependable electric string trimmer. With its lightweight design, powerful motor, automatic line feed system, adjustable handle, and environmentally friendly operation, it stands out as a comprehensive tool for achieving a well-kept yard.
