Any recommendations for a lawn mower for a smaller lawn area ?

Links would be usufull.
Needs to be compact to store away.
Never used one before ( well many many moons ago as a teenager ) so has to be easy to use with adjustable handle as one of us is 6ft and i am just under 5ft.
Thanks

Have you considered a robot mower? They're extremely compact and require no adjustment for people of different heights or build. We have a LawnMaster OcuMow 16 Vision Robot Lawnmower for our smallish back lawn.

I really like the Ryobi one for small lawns, with rechargeable battery. It’s very light and manoeuvrable doesn’t take up much room in the shed and no cord to trip over. Collects the grass too. I use it for my small in-between bits.
I have half an acre of lawned areas and have everything from a tiny strimmer to a ride-on mower so I’ve experienced quite a few mowers over the years!

Thank you @AlwaysGardening
I breifly looked at a video of this
i am going to look at it properly tonight but it looks like what i want.
It looked like you can use the collector bin or just let grass go onto lawn so will double check and look at some reviews and videos.

Update
I have ordered the Ryobi one as suggested above but I bought the bundle that consists of the mower, battery & charger as well as the trimmer. £20 off price not the cheapest but no need to buy seperate trimmer now
Thanks to all helped.
