Lawnmower buying guide: how to get the right mower for you and your lawn

Finding the best lawnmower for you can be a bit of a challenge. There are lots of different types and sizes out there, and getting the right one is a case of balancing a number of factors.

The thing is, you’re not really buying a lawnmower for yourself. Your new mower is a gift for your grass, and your choice needs to be tailored to the precise needs of that rectangle of verdant green. A mower that’s too small won’t have the grunt to cut through any weeds and thicker growth it encounters. One that’s too big will be a pain in the neck to store - a problem that could have been avoided by getting a smaller one. And one with the wrong power source will be inconvenient for all sorts of reasons.
