A weed burner kills by heat rather than by chemical. The heat ruptures the cell structure in the leaf so the plant collapses over the following days, which means the result is not instant and the weed is not physically removed by the process.
That makes it a different approach from a weeder rather than a faster one. It suits paving, gravel and paths where there is nothing nearby to damage, and it avoids chemicals entirely, which matters where children, pets or food crops are close by. It also leaves the dead growth in place, so a paved area still needs sweeping afterwards.
All three machines here run at 2000W on a 230V supply, so the choice is about the body rather than the output. Power rating and supply voltage are stated per burner, and a mains lead means the working area is limited by the reach of an extension. Draper hold two of the three machines with Dellonda covering the third at the same rating.
Timing matters more than technique with thermal weeding. Young growth collapses from a brief pass; an established weed with a deep root will regrow and need a second treatment.

Burning also has to be kept away from anything that will scorch, which rules out treating close to planting.
