Could readers tell me a good lawnmower to buy. My lawnmower has broke and I need to get a new one but just do not know the best one to get. I have had 2 in the last 3 years and both have broke and was not happy with them so would not buy them again. I need one that is not very heavy as I find them hard to monouver but want it to collects grass if possable. I would prefer it not to be a flymo but any suggetions would be helpful. I don't want to pay anymore than £100. Thanks in advance

Hire a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn.

Depending on the size of the yard and how much you're willing to spend, this
dictates what mower to get. For up to 1/2 acre, a regular push mower is
fine (with self propelled drive) Craftsman, Lawn Boy or Snapper with a 22"
cut. I prefer a mulching blade, not much of a clean up and you don't have to
worry about getting rid of the clippings.
For larger yards a rider or walk behind works well. 42 - 48" cut. Troy
Built, John Deere ect.
Regardless of what mower you get, proper maintenance is key to keeping the
mower running. Check the oil before you cut, change it when necessary; tune
ups at least once a season, and keeping the blades sharpened.
I've had my Craftsman for 6 years and it starts every time. If and when it
dies, I'll buy another, for me its reliable, I cut my grass on average every
4 days.

Not around here (New England). The kids just don't want to work. The
last quote I got from a "pro" was $70 to do my lawn which I can do with
a propelled mower in an hour and a half. So that's about $50 and hour,
considerably over the minimum wage.

I love my Toro Super Recycler, the personal pace works very well, this one
has the aluminum deck. If you lawn is really small there is a push only
version.

You can't go wrong with Scag® Power Equipment. A bit pricey and wears like
iron with just a little maintenance.
