Lehr "Eco" (not "Echo!") string trimmers are innovative, eco-friendly weedeaters that substitute a 16.4-oz. propane canister for gas as a fuel source. These weedeaters afford the same power and portability as do gas weedeaters, while offering an eco-friendly alternative at a comparable price. In fact, they're powerful enough for me to recommend them to pros -- and to homeowners who have challenging trimming needs. But if you're drawn to these eco-friendly string trimmers, you'll want to consult my review before buying: I discuss the solution of a problem that may save you some time -- and aggravation!

“Eco-Friendly” is a term that must come straight from company propaganda and is quite misleading. Per the tag on the unit, this has the same EPA rating (or sometimes worse) than many other proven trimmers. It is also extreemly heavy, and none of the people who sell it will even attempt to fix it. Sorry, but I say this was a BAD REVIEW.
