Anyone who enjoys the tranquillity of a garden will appreciate the low noise performance of a STIHL or VIKING cordless garden power tool. Ensuring the garden can remain a peaceful place, even when you are mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, or cutting up logs with a chainsaw, the complete STIHL and VIKING cordless garden tool range has now received the Quiet Mark 2014 accreditation from the Noise Abatement Society. That means they are all judged among the quietest in their class. And that has to be good for the environment.
Trimming hedges and grass, mowing the lawn, blowing leaves, pruning your trees and even using a chainsaw; numerous gardening tasks can now be carried out with a quiet cordless power tool from the STIHL and VIKING brands. That means you don't need to disturb the neighbours (or your own peace!).
The complete STIHL and VIKING cordless Garden Power range now holds the Noise Abatement Society's Quiet Mark 2014, with the distinctive purple Quiet Mark symbol awarded following rigorous testing and approval from accredited acoustic experts including the Association of Noise Consultants. That means you can choose one of the cordless hedge trimmers, grass trimmers, chainsaws or lawn mowers, a leaf blower, power sweeper and even a new telescopic pruner, with the reassurance that it is among the quietest in its class. And with each of the twelve products available able to run off the same, long-lasting lithium-ion battery, STIHL and VIKING cordless tools really do make a winning combination.
The internationally recognised Quiet Mark symbol is awarded to the quietest high performance technology and solutions that reduce unwanted noise in the environment. Its award to all of the garden care tools available in the STIHL and VIKING cordless range – a total 12 models across eight product groups – is the first time it has been awarded to a complete range.
Commenting on the achievement and the quiet performance of these tools, Poppy Elliott, Managing Director, from Quiet Mark said: "We are delighted the full STIHL and VIKING cordless garden tool range have achieved Quiet Mark awards, which demonstrates that acoustic design for lower noise high performance technology can be applied to several products with diverse uses. This is a shining example of a product area that is traditionally very noisy, however STIHL and VIKING have proved that with carefully considered design and investment in product innovation it is possible to make the sound output of any product less intrusive to reduce unwanted noise, help to create a more peaceful aural environment for everyone to share, whilst delivering excellence in product performance."
