If it's just an ordinary sized garden do you really need a petrol mower. As a former owner I can tell you that there are many disadvantages to having one.
Having to buy petrol and transport it home, running out of petrol, spilling it everywhere while filling the mower. sooted up plugs, annual servicing, having to use the choke, pulling the cord to start it, sometimes it doesn't start or keeps cuttting out, your back, the noise.
Buy an electric mower. Much more convienient and easier to use. Plug it in and away you go

Definitely go for an electric mower. Don't get a hover mower though. We bought one last year and I'm trying to sell it now. Very awkward to lug around the garden particularly when nearly full and they're brutal at edges, they just blow the grass over.
#Anyone have any thoughts on the Floabest Lawnmower for 279.99

I bought it today. Bargain. they cleaed 3 pallets in 15 minutes. ITs made from a very hard case plastic so no steel rusting away. The engine is a 4hp briggs. Self drive. Its actually a small cutting width so suit a nice small gardain perfectly.
