hi honda make good mowers very reliable may be a little heavy for ladies they have metal rollers on the back without being cheeky last for years.i have a mountfield there good aswell.nylon rollers the choice is out there so it is up to you really honda are fairly expensive mind you depends on your finances really good luck and happy mowing.

Thanks Derek. OH does most of the mowing - its his contribution! I wondered about a Mountfield but OH has been Googling and decided on a Lawnflite which we hadn't heard of but it seems to be very popular. The spec is what we wanted - just hope it does what it says on the tin!

So sorry Kenny, I must have been half asleep, can't think where my mind was wandering. Thank you for answering me anyway - nobody else did!

your very welcome.i dont think you will be dissapointed in either one.good luck.

:)
