I've had a snapper self-propelled with several speeds that are easy to
change for 13 years with no problems at all with it. Mine has a high vac
deck a mulching blade with a mulching attachment that replaces the chute.

The reel-type unpowered mowers are all ligher and easier to maneuver
than any power mower I've ever owened or used.

Two drawbacks
a) their maximum cutting height is generally 1-1/2", which may be too
short for your climate.
b) blades must be kept sharp, so you need a sharpening attachment and
have to develop the habit of using it.

You also have to cut more often, as they don't grind up the clippings
(like mulching attachments), but I don't consider that a drawback.
