Need help picking a self-propelled mower
Posted on 3/6/11 at 10:30 pm
Posted on 3/6/11 at 10:30 pm
I am looking to fire the lawn guy and purchase a self-propelled mower soon, but can't decide what brand to get. I have looked at Lowe's a good bit, but the guys there don't know much about the products they sell.
What I'm looking for:
1. Price range of 300 to 500 bucks
2. Starts easy (gonna put the wife on it this summer)
3. Low maintenance
My yard is flat as all get out, and it will be used once a week. Does anyone have any success stories or ones to stay away from?
TIA

There was a discussion on the OT last week and Toro was the top pick.

You can't beat the one for $299 sold at HD and Lowes, it's a great lawnmower for home use. I actually use one of those and a Snapper to cut about 12 lawns (side job). Snapper is the tits but out of your price range.
ETA: Don't get the Personal Pace Touro, it just has more things to break. Aslo, a rear wheel self propelled will be stronger, but harder to maneuver.

Toro. High rear wheel. Front wheel drive. Awesome mower. I've had 2(1 stolen). Even my wife can use it.

I bought a Refurbished Toro a few months back from Home Depot. Very easy to use.
Here was the thread when I bought it

Just a general question: Why a self-propelled mower? I've never had one before and I just don't see what is the appeal. If I have to walk behind the mower anyway, I might as well push.
