Which lawn mower should I buy?
We only have a small garden and have recently (a few weeks ago now) put a small patch of grass down. Grass is getting pretty long now and has had a chance to bed in, and we're looking at lawn mowers.
Having never owned a house with a garden before I'm still pretty new to this whole gardening thing. I'm currently looking at this Flymo hover mower.
I think this is the sort of thing that would suit our needs.
If possible I do want to find one I can order through Amazon as when we got married hubby and I asked for Amazon vouchers (we were living with my mum temporarily and figured vouchers would be helpful as meant we could buy stuff when we got our own place).
Can anyone that knows about these things comment on the one above? Or point us in the direction of something else?
Thanks.

For a small garden, this will do just fine. You may also consider a manual powered lawn mower if your garden is small, something like one of these:

They save on electricity, save on space as they tend to be that more compact and they give you a nice bit of exercise :T0 -
It would work but a small lawn could be cut by a machine half that price.
I bought my mum ( who is 84) the lite version under £50 , she cuts both lawns of average size with no problems
