Lawnmower advice

Recommended Posts

Advice please chaps. Moved into a new house( bad timing!) at the start of February. Boredom struck today, so thought I’d cut the lawn( approx 80m2)

Had the old electric mower from my previous house. Took me bloomin ages and filled all the compost bins etc. 
Not sure a ride on mower for this size( plus access issues) so was considering a self propelled mulching mower. Budget around £6-700

Any recommendations/thoughts please

Love my Viking- 15 years old and puts the hayter to shame which we have owned from new. The Viking was a main body from Facebook market place about 4 years ago. Grass basket was found on eBay early last year.

the hayter needs emptying 4 times on our back lawn - the Viking does it in one pass

80m2 is not a large area to cut, any refurbished, cheap self propelled would do it without emptying the basket if cut frequently or mulch if cut very frequently. Spending £700 on a rotary seems insane IMO, a Honda would be overkill. Like a Ferrari for the school run.

I would personally start by spending the money on refurbishing the lawn and then cut it with a hand propelled cylinder mower, with sharpened blades. If you are finding it hard in a year or two invest in a proper cylinder mower and get a great cut.

Something like this:
