    Which is better, a petrol lawnmover or a manual lawnmover?

    what are the main pros and cons of a manual one?

    thinking about changing.....

    I love the summery sound of a push mower, and very satisfying to use if you have the energy!

    i use a manual one, a qualcast. i hate the sound of petrol mowers, and it's good exercise.
    i don't bother attaching the grass collector to mine, but even with it, it wouldn't be as effective at catching all the grass as a motorised one would be.

    not a big one, would get two cars parked on front one and back one is smaller....

    my current lawnmover is petrol but it doesnt drive the wheels anymore and it takes up too much room in the shed.

    The Husqvarna diamant handmower is good and very durable. The handles pop off for easy storage too.

    with manual ones you have to cut the grass every week and keep it sharp to do a good job or else its just hassle.

    I have a webb manual mower.Has a nice roller on the back for stripes. Great little machine but you need to mow more often to keep it tidy.
    Would not change to an electric
