I've gone through about 4 weed whackers over the past few years and now have an electric one. I think it's great, obviously it has its limitations but it has a lot of positives.
First of all mine cost $27 on Amazon. I mean even if it's a total bust that's only $27. This doesn't count the cord, but if you need a cord that's used only for this, a 50 foot cord suitable for a 4 amp trimmer is about $15.
It's light weight because there's no motor, obviously you have to drag the cord around but it is easy to use.
Like you maybe I have about 10 places around the yard that need it, I bought an extra spool of trimmer line but in 2 years have not needed it.
Obviously if you need to trim anything more than 50-90 feet from the house this isn't going to work but if you have a small yard I have no idea why you'd mess around with a gas trimmer which is far more expensive and requires a lot more maintenance.
I had a battery powered mower for a while which soured me on battery powered appliances, maybe a batter powered trimmer would work ok but I don't think the battery technology is very good and if you have to replace the batteries it'll probably be as expensive as buying another appliance.
I usually trim every other time I mow. I am definitely not a lawn not but even I have to admit that the yard looks 1000 times better after being trimmed. And it only takes a few minutes.
This.
If you're not immediately averse to corded electric, here's the trimmer that I use ($30): http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0030GEXUO
It's marketed as a trimmer/edger, although TBH I haven't used it for edging yet.
