Lawnmower Help....

Hi,

Can any of you gardeners out there help me please, I am on my 2nd Flymo and it's got to the stage where mowing the lawn is a nightmare. I think it's packed up as it doesn't cut properly or collect the grass anymore. I haven't got a massive garden but want something thats easy & quick to use.

Not sure whether I should go for petrol or not?

I have about £40 in vouchers for homebase so if I could get one from there it would be ideal.

Don't really want to pay much more than £100 but if you think I need to for quality then please let me know.

Thanks in advance

    Get a second-hand atco, plenty on ebay etc. Mine is 20 years old and still going strong. Would have got though 10 flymos in that time!

    Unless you have a big garden I would stick to electric. I manage a garden of about half an acre with a 19 inch (wheeled) flymo. A lot of the garden is shrubs but there main lawn is about 200ft x 60ft. Basically electric mowers require very little maintenance and start every time which is more than I can say for petrol mowers I have had in the past.
