I'm looking at the Fiskars rotary....Cordless electric, depending on the size of lawn to cut. Almost dead quiet, mulches to feed the grass and is the easiest to use. Costs a bit more than the others, but well worth it in the end. Hope that helps.
haha...*throws your binky out the door behind you*
I looked at the rotary/reel mowers, RA and they're great when new and sharp, but require constant maintenance, like cleaning, oiling, sharpening to work well. Not to mention, you're providing all the power to make it work, so the taller the grass, the worse it is to cut, so you have to cut often to maintain and easy cut.
Again, it all depends on the size of lawn to cut and any hills or dips to deal with. I've used them all and for the typical size yard, the cordless mulching mowers are the best for the bucks. Least maintenance and simply push a button/lever and you're cutting. Plug it in to charge and you're done.
Sexy hot landscapers is the way to go

It'll seem like 8 acres after using a rotary mower, lol. I prefer the cordless like I said, just for the ease of use and maintenance and it mulches, which is best for lawns. Push a rotary around the store for a bit and get a feel for it and then triple the effort once you're on the grass. Great exercise if anything, lol
Just keep the blade sharp, no matter what mower you get. That's the best advice I can give you, RA. Good luck in choosing.

If you want to combine a serious workout with your lawn mowing this would work. See if you can get one with tall wheels tho. That will help.
I agree. Make sure you get lithium ion battery packs. They will last longer, hold their charge longer & recharge faster. Plus, except for a little cleaning, there is practically no maintenance.
I've always enjoyed mowing lawns. The smell of freshly cut grass always lights me up.
I have a rotary, gas and riding one. The rotary will surely give you a workout. How big is your lawn, does it rain there a lot, and how often do you need to mow? The longer it is the more work it is, if it's wet it's like pushing over wet noodles. Back and forth, back and forth. Ugh.
Are you going to do the blue/green pattern?
thank you all for the suggestions.
AG, it's only 6000 sq ft, and since when i was married, the schmuck made it part of my duty to keep the yard at 8 acres, I'm thinking 6000 sq ft isn't bad? Idk. I might hate it. With 8 acres, I had both a riding lawn mower and a tractor. I know I don't need that now...(not that o was s very good tractor driver.. lmao)
I've shoveled snow off 900 sq ft and ugh. My wet grass was just too much work. I do like my gas pusher then do the rotary around some tighter spots. I give you tons of encouragement though! You can do it!
