Default lawnmower: 41cm or 46cm

I used to have a battery self propelled one and it was way too fast.

Hello,

Well my repairs to my lawnmower have not been particularly
long-lasting, so I am back looking for a new mower. I see that petrol
mowers come in 41cm or 46cm width of cut. That doesn't seem much of a
difference: is it? Which width is best to go for?

The reviews about self-propelled mowers seem contradictory. I think a
variable speed one would add more to the cost. Some reviewers say the
single speed ones are too fast; others say they are fine. What is the
reality in your experience?

Thanks,
Stephen.


How long is a piece of string? Ultimately size is related to the amount of
grass you have to cut.

Personally I wouldn't bother with self propelled on a 16"/41cm mower.
