Thinking of buying above. Is Homelite a good brand. I just want a basic self propelled model, nothing fancy

Gloss Stamped Stainless Steel Deck - Alumimum deck is far better but if you take care of the steel deck it will be fine.

Jane..how big a lawn to you have to cut??

The homelite lawnmower you mention is 145cc which is almost equivalent to a 3.5 horsepower motor like briggs and stratton etc.

My dad bought this one:

Its got a 6 hp briggs and stratton engine and is a better engine versus the american homelite engine type.

That 6 hp will make it a much easier job to cut the grass if it gets long od damp etc. For the extra 50 euro its worth it.
