I'm moving into a new home that has a lawn. Its an average sized lawn that isn't too big at all. This is my first time having to maintain a lawn and I was wondering what type of lawn mower I should get? Which is better? I've been shopping around and I've been seeing gas or electric. I'm leaning more towards a push mower but just unsure about brands, features, and gas or electric.

Answer
For a push mower I would look at a Toro. Definitely a gas mower is preferable. You dont have to worry about finding an electrical outlet and you get more power. I would get a model that is self propelling unless you love a lot of hard work. If you want more information on picking one look in the May or June issue of Consumer Reports Magazine (free in a library or you can subscribe on line for a fee). They rate lawn mowers and their features. You can find a good mower for $300- $350

Is it true that if you don't keep a lawn mower's blade sharp it will damage the engine?

Someone told me that if you use a dull blade on your lawn mower it will damage the engine. is this true?

Answer
If the blade is dull it won't cut the grass as good, this could cause the engine to work a bit harder but it will not likely damage the engine. Most lawn mower engines die from neglect rather than from working too hard.
