Lawn mower advice
 

Hi,
We need a new lawn mower and want some sound advice.
There's around 50 x 30 feet of rear lawn & slightly smaller front lawn.
Have been using a flymo hover, but that's just about had it now.
What do peeps in here advise on buying?
Want something with a grass box, adjustable cut & easy to maintain.
Will electric be enough, or would a 4 stroke petrol model be the better
bet.
Budget is around £200.
Any comments are much welcomed.
Cheers,

Richard

You will probably not get a decent mower for £200. The cheapest electric
Hayter (excellent make), the sprint 41 Electric Push, is £279.

There are many much cheaper Hayter electric mowers here, well under £200

Many thanks Bob, the Hayter range looks superb. I've found the sprint 41
at the local garden centre for around £250

Thanks again,

Richard

I've just bought one of these to replace a smaller Bosch that was on
its last legs.

If the grass ever dries enough, I might even get to use it.
