Any opinion?
£700 notes for a Briggs & Stratton powered mower is £500++ of profit
for the seller...
Is the electric start worth 100 quid?
For a little engine like that I wouldn't have thought so but you
don't tell us if pull starting a mower is difficult for you due to
any disabilties. Does the mower recharge the battery whilst it is
mowing or do you need to sperately charge the battery? I see a
seperate charger is available for more notes. The battery will also
add weight to the mower and it's more things to go wrong...
The galvanised steel deck will still rust as the galvanisation won't
last very long in the cutting area. Just make sure you clean it
reasonably well after each use, don't leave clumps of wet grass
adhered to it anywhere.

If you are going to spend money on a lawnmower then it would be Honda everytime. Good and very reliable with aluminium decks and can be picked up for reasonable prices. Personally i would only have electric start if i dint have the strength to pull start as these sometimes breakdown anyway. Also most hondas are self drive so pull themselves along and you just guide. U can even get ones with the rear roller on the back for the sort after striped lawn. hope this helped.
