    My lawn isn't very big but I have a Mountfield petrol mower. I've been pestering DH for ages to get a Flymo as I thought it would be easier to push. We bought one a few weeks ago; I used it for about 5 minutes and hated it! It was harder to push than the petrol one with the wheels on and took twice as long, not to mention having to keep dodging the cable. We took it back the next day and I'm sticking with petrol!

    Quick update: I went for the electric one in the end and used it okay this weekend. It cut over 6 weeks of grass with no problem.

    Thank you to everyone for their comments.
