Just closed and moved into my new townhouse. It’s a corner end unit so we have a nice little yard. I just realized that Im going to need a lawnmower. I’ve never bought one so I have no idea what to look for. Im looking for a push mower with a bag that collects all the clippings (mandatory from the home owners association) Not looking to spend more than 200 bucks if possible. Any brands? Any features I should look for (motor size, type, etc.) ---

this is what I use and I probably have more land than you (but once you get over .25 acre forget it)… I’d much rather have a good reel mower than a shitty gas powered one… [http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100019892&N=10000003+527933+10093010](http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100019892&N=10000003+527933+10093010) I might pick up a nice used honda if one comes up local on craigslist… but I kind of enjoy the quiet, never having to fill with gas / maintain / and it works great as long as you don’t let the grass grow too much. ---

If you keep the mower inside, it will last a long ass time with basic maintenance. Sure you can buy a honda, but for 200 bucks, who cares? I have a postage stamp front yard, and a regular sized back yard. I was given a 5 year old mower from walmart with a briggs. Put a 10 dollar blade on it, a plug and a filter, change the oil, and it runs like new. Make sure you get a mulching mower, the mulching blade will make it so that you don’t have to carry a bagger. ---

Blade sharpening? Spark plug replacement? This thing will never require service beyond my capabilities and if it did I could take it to any small engine repair shop. ---
