Looking for a cheap, reliable/quality Hand Lawnmower.

Seen:
Qualcast Panther 30 Hand Mower
Alko Classic 28-5 Hand Propelled Lawn Mower
ALKO Classic 38-5 Hand Mower
CASTEL Easycylinder 38 Hand Mower
Einhell HRM40 Hand Mower

Anyone got any reviews/recommends on the above mowers?

TIA.

I use a Qualcast Panther 30. It works well but is prone to clogging on
the first cut of the year (but then again so is everything). It's also
a little bit light weight so on damp grass has a slight tendency to
skid rather than turn the blade (oh and the collecting box occsionally
fals off but I generally don't use that anyway)

OTOH, it's cheap, faster than using an electric for a small area, very
green and if it breaks you can fix it yourself.
