You can't beat the Honda Harmony series. They are expensive, but well
worth it. I have the 225 model and it is just fantastic, does a great
job of mulching.


Some other things you need to decide:

self propelled? definitely want it for a bigger yard

mulching or bagging? mulching is easier, no bags to keep emptying,
and returns nutrients to the soil, bagging gives a nicer look

I wouldn't pay much extra for the electric start. Todays small mower
engines are very easy to start with just a pull cord.

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!
