I will be grateful if anyone can recommend a lawnmower for a small
garden.

Cylinder mowers _must_ have a thermal cut-out (or whatever it might be
called). What considerations are relevant if choosing between rotary
and hover mowers?

[Why are they called "rotary" mowers? Something rotates in all of them,
doesn't it?]

If replying please keep in mind that you are addressing a person with
limited knowledge and brain-power.

what size is the lawn
what sort of finish do you want - stripes or not
Will you be cutting regularly
Is your grass often wet when you want/need to cut it.
Electric or petrol
How fit are you (to push or need a mower with driven wheels)

Give us some clues and we can help.
