Hey guys,
I'm looking for a good lawnmower under $500. I've got a backyard and a front yard to mow now. What's the general opinion on electric vs gas? Any specific recommendations?
Thanks!

CR recommended Toros when I bought a new one last year. I absolutely love it.
I was considering teasing you in another thread that now you'll need a lawnmower....

Just bought a Craftsman. Hope I didn't make a horrible mistake, but there we are.

I'm thinking about getting a push reel mower for my next house. They are supposed to give a better cut, plus they are quite, no exhaust, etc. I have no idea if I will like it or not. Currently I use a cheap gas mower (yard machine) that I bought used and it gets the job done.

Well, he waited almost an HOUR for advice, Mark. I mean, really, we failed him, don't you think?

We have a 16 year old Lawnboy that has done us well. With fall knocking on our door, this should be a good time to buy one I would think. It is definitely a BAD time to be thinking about buying something like a snowblower (yup. We are going to FINALLY get one this year.)

I bought one a couple years back, a Toro. It was a bit more than $500 but it was worth it imo. Haven't had a bit of trouble with it.
Before this I had a ....................Craftsman. Had trouble with it from after about the first season.
