I've had a variety of weed eaters and electric is by far the easiest and quietest to operate. If you want to save money and don't mind a cord, that would be the lightest. I had a Ryobi that lasted 20 years. I still might have it, I don't remember throwing it away, but haven't seen it in quite awhile. All the gas models are a pain in the butt, especially after sitting all winter!!! I'm now using a Makita cordless and I really like it a lot. It takes two batteries, so there is some weight to it. I can do my entire yard on just those two batteries. So far, I have never ran out of power or needed to change batteries while using it.

I got a BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX String Trimmer, 13-Inch (copy/paste from Amazon), love it.

The best weed eater for a woman is a man with any brand. :laughing:
After going through treatment for cancer the Stihl was too heavy and too much vibration. Bought a DR TRIMMER and both of us use it. String lasts a long time on grass. Little vibration on handle. Brigs engine starts first or second pull. No gas oil mixing. Has a belt clutch and engine stays running.

Don't think many women can start a motor driven weed eater. Definitely go battery. Our Porter Cable 20v one is lighter weight than the 40v Kobalt one.

Mine is 5'10" and uses a Weedeater gas, but she can bench press a Buick. As my 5'8" brother said "I bet she could whip my axx in every room of my house".

I think most women could start a gas trimmer, if they wanted to. My wife is a tiny creature, and not abnormally strong (I don't think?) And starts all the stuff; pole chainsaw (she can't get much else done with it though), leaf blower, weed eater, and pressure washer. The only thing she can't start is the generator. The pressure washer is over 200cc and if she cant get it started in the first two or three pulls she calls me.
