The most "inexpensive" self propelled mower is going to be a Honda or
other high quality machine. While the initial cost is high, the life
of machine and it's dependability bring the cost per year to be in
line with or less than than your typical big box store mower. As an
added bonus you won't lose your temper every time you have to start it.


That would make my 23 year old Craftsman 22", B&S engined,
self-propelled mower 'inexpensive'. It looks like sh*t with the chipped
paint, dents and rusty chrome, but starts every year after a couple of
pulls. I did have to replace the pull cord, but that didn't make it more
expensive by too much.
