Any recommendations?

Hover or rotary

Lawn (OK, weed-ridden grass) is maybe 15' x 25'.

Absolute max budget of £100, but don't want to end up "buying cheap buying twice"

Thanks!

My Bosch wasn't much over £60, cuts and collect much better than my old flymo (I reckon wheels are better than hover anyway) the grass doesn't stick to the plastics, great. Could use a bigger collection bin, otherwise great

I bought a second hand petrol Briggs & Stratton classic 35 from a local lawn mower shop. I think I paid £60 for it. It runs great, starts well an has no electric lead to run over.

I bought one of these off ebay for 50 quid anout 15 years ago. It's just finally given up the ghost, awesome machine. Just about to buy another hopefully.

I've one you can have if you're near Aylesbury.

Bought for 100DM (£30) about 13 years ago, and still going strong. Nothing wrong with cheap if its well designed and made.
