How much care does a petrol mower require for a medium / large garden?
Really would have liked a GOOD electric model, but cannot find such a thing!
What are others thoughts?

Garden machinery suppliers often offer servicing - at a price. Any type
of mower will need the blades re-sharpening from time to time. That can
be done on a bench grinder if you have one. Petrol mowers need their
sparking plugs and air filters cleaning or replacing annually, and their
engine oil topping up as required, plus of course petrol as used.

There are good electrical mowers to be had, but they are mainly for
small gardens, or for small areas of larger gardens. Wear and tear on
mowers will be less if they are more frequently used, than if they have
to tackle long grass.
