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

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
Tiny: twenty four square metres.
what sort of finish do you want - stripes or not
Finish? I just want it short!
Will you be cutting regularly
If my wife has her way I will.
Is your grass often wet when you want/need to cut it.
It seems so ('need' that is, it's never a case of 'want', see previous
line).
Electric or petrol
The former probably.
How fit are you (to push or need a mower with driven wheels)
Engine- rather than human-driven is essential.
24 sq.m.
Assuming 1/3rd of a metre width of cut = a 72m length of cut.
Assuming you mow at 1m per sec (slow walking speed) = 72 seconds. Job done!
I would suggest you get a decent push mower. It'll take 72 sec. faffing
about getting the lead ready for an electric mower and that's without the
putting away.
