Est. $210

The Lehr Eco Trimmer ST025DC is a curved-shaft string trimmer that's as powerful as a gas trimmer. However, the LEHR trimmer uses 1-pound propane canisters for fuel instead of gas, a solution that's less polluting. Whileyou won't have to buy gas, you'll have to stock up on propane canisters, which cost $3 to $5 each and give you about two hours of runtime. The canisters can't be refilled, but they are recyclable when empty. The Lehr trimmer weighs 15 pounds with the canister, so it's lighter than many gas trimmers, but a lot heavier than an electric trimmer. So far, reviewers say this propane trimmer is a great alternative to a gas trimmer, as long as your local stores stock the small propane canisters.

Propane string trimmers are new to the market. This Lehr trimmer was introduced in spring 2009, so the brand and the trimmer itself are relatively unproven. However, so far reviewers are fans of the Lehr Eco Trimmer. It's as powerful as a gas trimmer yet you don't have to buy and store gasoline, and propane is less polluting. However, you do have the ongoing cost of one-pound propane canisters (*Est. $3 to $5 each), which can't be refilled and only give you two hours of runtime each. The ST025DC has a detachable curved shaft and weighs 15 pounds with the propane canister. All Eco Trimmer models are fairly heavy. Those who want power but less weight may want to consider the corded electric Stihl FSE60, another eco-friendly choice.

We found the best reviews of the Eco Trimmer at About.com, which features both a single-product review and one that compares the Lehr trimmer to a Black & Decker Grass Hog.

Professional landscaper Allyn Paul provides a video review on his website, LifeAndLawns.com. GearPatrol.com contributing editor Dusty Overby reviews the Eco Trimmer as well. Since the Eco Trimmer is new to the market, we were unable to find many owner reviews, but there are a few at Amazon.com, which sells the detachable-shaft models.
