I'm sorry for the most boring MN post today.... Lawnmowers.

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

1400 watts

rotary mower

"easimo" (not quite sure why it's easier, maybe it comes with a bloke to push it...)

or glider

After these, they leap up in price to £200+, so I know these are cheapo ones, but which to chooose...

::takes pity on you::

I know very little about lawnmowers, as the sorry state of my lawn will testify, but first you need to tell us:

how big is your lawn?

what are you aiming for - perfect lawn with precision stripes or patch of grass on which the family can lounge/play games

We have a glider, which is fine for our very small lawn, but it's never going to look like the grass at Wimbledon.

Thanks for the sympathy Maud

Lawn is about 10 metres long and about 5 metres wide. Aiming for reasonalble patch of grass rather than precision stripiness.

(DH may say something different but he is deluded about its potential...)

I actually quite like this one

We need a new lawnmower, too. So I will wach this thread with interest.

If I let DH carry out weeks of 'research' I am in danger of losing DC3 in the lawn.

I like the 'easimow'. We had one like that years ago and they are 'easy'. And it comes with a strimmer. I like a strimmer. I like the fact that you can't hear your shrieking children when strimming.
