LEHR Eco Trimmer – Three Years Later

by Yard Care Man on May 6, 2012

I’ve owned my LEHR Eco Trimmer for three years now. I did a review back in 2009 that ended up being posted on this blog in 2010. Anyway, I still am a big fan of the LEHR just as I was back then. It’s definitely a”green” product that that goes right along with our theme here of Organic lawn care… but there is a lot more than that.

First off, propane is very clean just for my own comfort – no fumes like with a traditional gas/oil mix trimmer. I don’t have to pour the gas – which is something I always had a problem with since I could never find a funnel when I needed it… so with propane, no more spills. In addition, no leaks. Pretty much every gas trimmer I have ever owned would leak when the cork wore out around the gass cap.

Over the years, I have replaced the original LEHR Trimmer head with a fast loading trimmer head and also I use a John Deere edging attachment. That is another advantage here is that the LEHR trimmer CAN use other attachments.

Long story short, the LEHR has stood the test of time for me. It’s quality has proven to be long term. Three years strong and still going with no problems – that is quality.
