Lehr Eco Trimmer

Gasoline-powered yard tools are notorious for having poor emissions, but the alternative, electric powered tools, are often underpowered or inconvenient. The Lehr Eco trimmer aims to change that with propane power (think green Coleman canisters used for stoves) which cuts 95% of emitted pollutants and is recyclable...

Eco Tech Daily has done a wonderful writeup on the Lear Eco Trimmer. It retails for $219.00 and was found to be powerful and efficient, running for two hours on a single bottle of propane.

Pros:

95% less released pollutants
Consistent, solid power
Easy to use and load with propane bottles
Solid and well made construction
4 stroke engine means it can handle tall grass and weeds
Has the ability to interchange different lawn-care attachments

Good option. I have an electric that works ok for my small lawn, but would be a pain for anything larger.

What do you do with the empty propane bottle?

I believe Coleman actually has a program in place to refill the old bottles, or, and I'm not sure I recommend it, you could follow this Instructables.
