Used to have one. It was Honda powered as well - so it was quieter than an garden variety Craftsman or Yard-Man...

I like lawnmowers only in the sense that they are a money making tool. People will pay $25-ish per lawn. Easy money.

They're too loud! I do, however, like the look of those 'ride on mower' things. They look like fun.

I have three mowers in my garage. Two riders, one for mowing, one for fixing, and a push mower. I enjoy fixing small engines and other lawn equipment, so yeah, I guess I like mowers too.

I have a joke.

Q. How are men like lawnmowers?

A. They are loud, hard to get started, emit foul odors, and don't work half the time!

I would like a petrol lawnmower but there to expensive so im stuck with my 2 pieces-o-crap at the moment and the problem with the lawnmowers ive got is:

1. The pushalong cylinder mower has no cable so you can go anywhere but it uses its own wheels to drive the cutter blade and so in long grass the blade always gets stuck and the wheels begin to slip damit!! .

2. The electric flymo can make easy work of cutting long grass but you are on a 30 foot power cord which for a small garden is ok but if your garden is like mine the power cord is just way to short.
