Default First Garden - Lawnmower advice


"greg" wrote in message

Hi,

I've just bought a house & am faced with my first garden (which is
great) and buying my first lawnmower (which is not).

I was looking at this offer in Argos,
A Flymo Easimo Rotary Mower and Flymo mini trim for £59.99
but I haven't got a clue about lawnmowers and I've no idea if this is
a good deal or not. Please help!

It will depend on lots of things such as storage for keeping it (electric
hover mowers tend to be lighter therefore easier to stow hanging) whether
you will have plenty of mowing opportunities, therefore can wait for dry
weather, petrol is better for wet.
how big the grass area is, and who will be using it.
But if your question is whether Argos is a good deal then I am afraid I have
no idea, I paid only £99 for a petrol mower last year which I thought very
cheap but its just as good as the Honda it replaced!
