The Bosch Rotak 32 and 320 are around £70 with £4p&P from Homebase (they are part of Argos).
Depends if you need bigger or more functions.0 -
Electric mowers blades don't help your lawn. Cylinder blades provide a nicer cut and are better for your lawn. For most urban gardens a push-mower will do just fine and you won't ever entangle any cables, e.g.
My Gardena spindle push-mower has been going strong for 12 years without any problems or repairs. Lawnmowersworld is offering a Brill cyclinger push mower for £99.99.0 -
Argos have a Qualcast 1000w mower for £50.http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7304905.htm?cmpid=COJUN&storeId=10151&_%24ja=tsid%3A11674|prd%3A1546795&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fstatic%2FProduct%2FpartNumber%2F7304905.htm&referrer=COJUN
Homebase are doing a Bosch 1400w Rotek for £129 including delivery, (excellent mower & price IMHO) using the DISCOUNT15 15% code, would knock it down to just over £90.

Or Tesco have a basic Einhel mower & strimmer deal for £60 - not sure on the quality of them.http://www.tesco.com/direct/einhell-1000w-lawnmower-grass-trimmer-twin-pack/555-5230.prd?skuId=555-5230&pageLevel=:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

I would definately recommend the Bosch Rotak Ergoflex 34 (link is above available in Homebase)
Ordered one at the start of summer to replace my old Flymo. So much better and easier to cut the grass. And the Ergoflex hanndles make it comfortable to push. I actually dont mind doing it now!!!
Also available from Amazon for £99.95 (incase the code has expired before you purchase or you have any Amazon vouchers)

Good luck withthe Bosch Rotak - mine gave up the ghost after only one and a half cutting seasons. Last year I bought a Flymo rotary from Homebase (reduced to £39.99 plus their 3yr warranty art £9.99 just in case). It's much lighter and makes a good enough job for me. I am not a gardener though.0
