Need to buy a new lawn mower that is easy for a woman and/or adolescent to operate. Need easy start mechanism and easy operation of mower body.

Answer
Well, Consumer Reports just did a rating on lawn mowers in their May 2007 issue. It seems that the self-propelled mowers are much more repair prone than push types though they are easier to operate. Lawn Boy is reported as being the most repair prone push mower brand. Here are their best buys for small, level laws (like we have in CA) Cub cadet, craftsman, Black & Decker and Homelite. They seem to like the cub cadet because it is lighter, combines mowing with fine bagging and a premium engine. Among the electric mowers they like the Black & Decker.

The Toro, Craftsman and Yard Machines come with electric starting.

Can you provide advice on troubleshooting lawn mower problem?

My son's lawn mower runs fairly well, but cut grass no longer goes in the bagger; even dry grass just kind of clumps and is left behind. Any takers? We changed the oil, spark plug, blade, emptied the bag.

Answer
Engine speed fast enough?

Blade installed correctly? or backwards?*

Underside of the mower been cleaned?*

Mowing too fast?

Letting grass get too tall?
