I want a Honda. Petrol powered. With a roller. Aluminium so it doesnt rot.

But my budget is 150-200. What is my best alternative, new or as new. Want it to be hassle free for 5yrs.

I know very little about mowers!

Honda Izy! Easy.

Had mine for 3 years now, never had an issue. Stored for six months over the winter, 2 or 3 pulls and it started right up.

I also know very little about mowers but this one from Aldi looked good for the money. It also has a Briggs & Stratton motor which I'm sure somebody said where good one time. Or st, one of the two.

Edited to add the correct link.

I went into the local Honda dealer with exactly your requirements, looking to buy a Hayter. I stupidly told the chap "I can usually be swayed by quality"... £650 later...
