Default Mowers

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good mower.
I have a medium sized lawn (on a hill!) and am finding it very hard work
with my current machine (Flymo vision compact 380). Years ago I had a petrol
flymo hover that was very easy to use although only mulched the cuttings.
I'm really looking for a self propelled petrol model no more than £250. I
hope I'm being realistic and thought one of you kind people would have an
idea of good and not so good ones.

Many thanks

Dave


If you can go to around £330, the Honda IZY range are good - I just
bought the 18" Self propelled one and it's great. Light, super
ergonomics. The IZY range is Honda quality though it is their attempt
at a budget priced range. This is my first entry into the domestic
mower market after 40 years of buying and using commercial mowers
professionally.
