Lawn Mower Comparison
Lawn Mower Comparison: "Comparing Lawn Mower Types
There are several things to consider before you choose a new Lawn Mower.
There are hundreds of different lawn mowers on the market and the variety of types, sizes and price is enormous. You should think carefully before you buy and have a closer look at your lawn and your needs.
If you just moved into a home, you need to know how many square feet of lawn you have, cause most lawn mower recommendations are built on lawn size in square feet or acres when the lawn is bigger.
If you are replacing your old lawn mower, then you might have a good idea of what type is the best for you.
1. Take a good look at your lawn. Walk around and consider if there are any obstacles on the lawn. Trees, bushes, walls, stones and ponds. If you are thinking of an electric cord mower then trees and walls could make a problem.
Is the lawn smooth or uneven? Is it level or on a slope? Self-propelled mower is easier to use on slopes, but a push mower could be the best choose for an even lawn.
2. Take a critical look at yourself. Do you like the exercise of mowing or do you just see it as another work? Would you feel comfortable to change oil and spark plug on the mower or would you like to get rid of such work? If you don't like mowing and don't like maintenance work, then you should buy a good quality mower that does the job faster with less maintenence or even consider to hire a gardener to take care of the mowing.
3. How much are you ready to spend? Will you be living here in 5 years? Are you ready to spend more to get a quality mower or do you prefere less expensive but less reliable one. You get pretty much what you pay for when you buy a new lawn mower."
