Significantly more disappointing that it effective
I bought this to help keep on top of weeds on a block paved driveway without the need for chemicals. From first impressions, it works well and kills weeds remarkably quickly. Thicker weeds do take a bit longer, or a second go a while later. Unfortunately, the weed’s roots aren’t affected by this tool and soon regrow in a matter of weeks. I’ve even tried scorching the area for longer than recommended in the instructions, but still the heat can’t penetrate deep enough to kill the root mass. Having said that, I’m impressed that the weed killer doesn’t affect the blocks on the driveway and doesn’t leave scorch marks behind. It’s quick to heat up and cool down, so it’s easy to get out and use regularly. It’s just unfortunate that the weeds aren’t completely eradicated. I haven’t and certainly wouldn’t like to use this on a lawn, I think it would end up leaving more dead lawn that killed weeds afterwards.

thermal weeder
it does get rid of weeds but flying embers are a concern so don't use if its windy. weed control no better than chemicals for the deep rooted ones. Good if you don't like chemicals

Useful garden gadget
Bought this a month ago and already found it extremely useful for tackling weeds on a gravel drive and also weeds between paving slabs.

Does what it says on the tin
Got this about 2weeks ago, because you do one weed at a time it's a bit time consuming. Think will stick to weed killer

Hello Weed weary,
I can advise the following for the Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder:
This is possible, just keep the heat away from other flowers in the bed if possible.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi There,
Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder
On checking I can see this does come with a 3 meter power lead which needs to be plugged in to operate.
Thanks for using Q and A.
Hello George,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder: ''In essence, it should absolutely kill the weeds between the paving. Obviously if the actual root is below the paving, then it might struggle to get enough contact at the root. It is hard to tell without actually seeing the issue.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello Einnob,
The supplier has advised the following for the Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder:
“ Just under 1.4Kg. ”
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello Murphy,
The supplier has advised the following for the Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder:
"Technically yes. However Bamboo has very deep roots and therefore for this to be taken to a high enough temperature to kill, it would depend on the soil, dampness etc. Overall I would suggest that specific compounds that can be used to destroy Bamboo would be best, the Thermal weeder is best for vegetation based plants rather than wood based as bamboo is."
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Mick,
The supplier has advised the following for the Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder:
“ It will only overheat if it has restricted airflow, or if it is not functioning correctly. If the latter, please return for an exchanged product. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Franki,
The Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder, can be used on Block paving.
Thank you for using Q & A.
I don't have brick paving but guess the weeder would work on it. I use it on my slabs and it's effective BUT the weeds do come back after a while, particularly dandelions, which have deep roots. So you might find a scrub brush as effective, Also I find the weeder is heavy on electricity! Hope this helps.
Hello Maxine,
The supplier has advised the following for the Hozelock Green Power Thermal Weeder:
The weeder produces extreme heat which will radiate a distance. There is no need to touch the weed directly, just to have the heat as close as possible.
It is used to remove weeds from between paving slabs by most, and is often used for block paved drives.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Yes, it can reach weeds between paving stones. The weeder needs to cover the weed completely or at least most of it. It works by "exploding" the plant cells not by burning. The plant may not appear dead for a a few days. Hope this helps. Barbara
If the weeds are sprouting between paving stones, then this will do the job. My garden is covered with chippy stones and despite there being a weed membrane down, the weeds still come through. This machine zaps them. However, if you want to clear between paving stones, might I suggest a rotary brush that will do the job better. However, I find the Hozelock weed zapper to do an excellent job. Hope this helps.
