Hi folks!

I am a single female who just bought my first home....and I need to
buy
a
lawnmower. It's been suggested that I buy an electric start,
self-propelled
one. I currently have a used Honda with pull-start, that doesn't seem
to
want to start or stay started. A neighbor told me it probably wasn't
worth
fixing, and another male friend said it might be as simple as an air
filter
or spark plug (it hadn't been used in a few years).

Can anyone recommend what type of new one would be good, easy to use,
and
the best place to buy it (i.e., Sears vs. Home Despot?!)

Also, I think I will need some sort of edger for where I can't get with
the
lawnmower. Recommendations that are not *too* expensive?

Thanks!

Jo


You did not state the size of your yard.


About .40 acre





Assuming a typical lot of about 8000 square feet, level and you young and
able.

41 willing and able!



Buy what best fits your budget, use stabil in the gas and keep the oil
full
& changed.


Thanks!


A $99 mower from Wally world stored inside with regular oil changes will
cost you about $10 a year.



If you want to spend more, others have offered some good suggestions.


Thanks for everyone's help!
