| I've been using the mower the ex-husband left when he walked out. I think it is supposed to be self-propelled, but I sure have to push it a lot when using it.
Last year I just hired someone to mow the yard because it was too much work for me. (Here in Florida, we have to mow almost once a week.) When younger son was here a month ago, I asked him to cut the weeds in the back yard, and he told me the mower would not start. I'm sure I could repair it at a small engine repair shop, but I thought I would just buy a new one that actually propelled itself. I know I want one that mulches as I don't want to mess with changing a bag. I would like a very reliable, easy to start mower, and the advertisements have started to appear in the newspaper. I noticed that a store is advertising Honda mowers. (I've owned a Honda car for many years and know the cars are reliable.) Any recommendations, suggestions, input, and comments about what features I should look for is appreciated. My yard looks like it will need mowing here in another week. |

| You can't go wrong with a Honda mower. I'm sure you have Home Depot's in your area and they seem to be a source of decent priced new Honda mowers. Here is one of their models that mulches/baggs/etc and I'm sure would provide many years (with proper maintenance) of one pull starts for you and your son. http://homedepot.digby.com/homedepot/product/detail.do?itemId=10061709 2&categoryId=&path= They are t the cheapest mower out there but have consistently proven themselves more than worth the price year after year. ;) |

| Also, if you go to http://powerequipment.honda.com/promotions, you will see that Honda is having a promotion where they will extend the warranty by an additional year if you register your mower within 30 days of purchase. The promotion ends May 31, 2012. |

| Thank you for the replies. I went with a Toro mower from a local dealer. I paid a bit more than I would if I had gone to Lowes or Home Depot, but I am really happy with it. I mowed the front yard last week, and it was a breeze! |

| Hey sah54..... what model Toro did you purchase? Interested in Toro myself. |
