No experience of the Homelite brand but at £120 at
http://www.kjstoneman.co.uk/graded%20mowers.htm it looks good value.
Interestingly it is described as having a Mountfield engine which is a
reasonably reliable brand. The steel deck will rust away over time unless
you keep it clean and treat it when overwintered. Waxoil is good for
stopping steel things rusting away.


Presumably the engine is direct drive down to the rotary blade.
Interested to learn where the take off is, for the self- propulsion side of
things.
For £30 extra over the push and puff version, it seems good value.
The illustrations on the site you quote, have identical hand controls.(:-(
