I just purchased my first house and I need a lawn mower. I'm looking for a
model for under $250.

I saw a Ryobi for $199 at Costco and Yard Machines brand at Home Depot for
$199. Are these brands any good?

Any suggestions would be great.

If you do not have too big a property you might want to try an electric
mower. I have used a Black and Decker Electric for 6 years or so to mow
about 5000 sq ft of yard. It is slightly cumbersome to work with a long
extension cord but you very rapidly get used to it. I like it because I
hate gas fumes and the noise from conventional mowers.
