    I see that Chadwicks have Hyundai Lawnmowers on offer this weekend. A self propelled 17"
    On offer @ 199. Is this a bargain?
    What is their reliability like?

    Trying to navigate Chadwicks website is terrible. Is this the mower that's on offer? It got a bad review on Amazon, and... that's the only review I could find - not a good sign.

    There's a thread on the gardening forum for recommendations. Look for something with a Briggs and Stratton or Honda engine, with a strong rustproof body. With my last mower, the body fell apart, but the B&S engine still worked :(

    If you see what looks like a good deal in a hardware shop, make note of the model number and look for reviews online.

    €199 for a non make mower is ridiculous, save up and buy a proper mower. You won't get value for money.

    Short answer, no, not good value, load of crap.

    I recently got the model down from that - I think it is on sale for E149. My lawn is relatively small and other than it taking forever to get started the very first time I used it, so far, so good.
