For a small area like that, it's not worth spending a great deal on
a mower...


Quite, 10' each side can hardly be called a lawn, no offence.

Big Dave could probably get something suitable for cutting his lawn
at a car boot sale.


But at £22 new from Argos not worth the risk. If the £1 car boot
jobbie blows up on the first outing your a £1 down and all the hassle
of finding another. If the Argos blows up you just take it back and
get another.

I guess the OP is looking at the Power Devil jobbie, how about the
other PD one for £44.99 with "free" trimmer "worth" £14.99. The extra
£10 gets you a collection box and another cut height and possibly more
important wheels, the cheaper PD is a hover. Wheels don't mind to much
a bumps and holes, hovers not so sure. Loose the air cushion and you
sliding the thing on the grass rather than rolling it along on
wheels.


How about a Braun Ladyshave? :-)
