Lawn Mowers – First time buyers essentials
This series is aimed at starting to catalog essential items for the first time buyer. You may not think of these as essential, but it doesn’t take long before they become essential. I moved into my house a week ago without a lawn mower and I didn’t think it was a big deal. The weather has been lovely in he UK and that has lead to some serious growth by the grass on my little lawn. That given you still wouldn’t think cutting the lawn would be that essential. But I have a dog, who likes to play on the lawn. He also likes to do other things on the lawn and if that getst lost in the long grass and not cleaned away, he likely trample in it, then come running into the house. Also, I look out the back of my house, see my two neighbours lawns looking neat tidy and healthy, then look at mine and it soon starts to bother you.
I made the mistake of not researching these products before I bought, I just assumed they’re all pretty much the same. Seeing as I only have a small lawn, I figured I’d just get a compact cheap one. turns out the one I got was useless, so I promptly returned it.
If you don’t want to look to far and wide, Amazon has a simple selection of lawn mowers and you can have a quick look through the user reviews and find one that looks the business. I selected a few Bosch models below, all of which had some decent customer reviews.

It can sometimes be helpful to read user reviews for a product (while evaluating if it’s the right choice for oneself) and weigh the reviewers evaluations against ones own tastes or needs. I guess pending a bit of time researching what people that have actually used an item themselves have to say about it can turn out to be time well spent if it leads to the right choice in the end.
