If you cannot handle gas powered weed eaters (they typically weigh above 12 pounds) I recommend an electric weed eater. They are light weight, less expensive and low maintenance. However you are limited at how far it can be taken because of the umbilical cord (electric extension cord) that needs to be connected.

I have one of these. Black and Decker, battery operated. I love it. I am a not-too-strong 61-year-old woman.

We also have a Black and Decker battery-powered trimmer. It is very lightweight.
