Recently moved to my first house with a garden. The lawn's about 30x15 feet
and rectangular, fairly level, with a small acer in the middle of it. I
borrowed my brother's little Flymo electric, but detested the orange power
switch that seemed to trap the palm of my hand.

Any recommendations for god quality, nice to use but relatively inexpensive
mowers? I wonder if I'd be better off with a little petrol mower, or is that
overkill for such a small lawn?

Thanks.

On a lawn that size I would honest suggest using a hand push mower.
Petrol would be serious overkill and even an electric is going to be
more trouble than its worth. With something manual you'll have no
power issues, no cable issues and it's not going to go wrong.
