Prices for self-propelled walkbehind mowers range from $250 to more than $600, according to a recent issue of Consumer Reports.
For lawns of more than half an acre, a ride-on mower or lawn tractor is in order. You can mow three-quarters of an acre in an hour on a riding mower.
Make sure the one you buy is stable on hills and comers, maneuverable and quiet. The controls should be easy to reach. Always take a lawn tractor for a test drive, just as you would a car.
However, the convenient luxury of a lawn tractor doesn’t come cheaply. Most models start at about $2,000.
Another increasingly popular power tool is the power blower, which acts as a motorized rake or broom.
“A power blower’s roar may not endear you to your neighbors, but a blower can spare you a lot of time and sore muscles,” says Consumer Reports. t * * t » ♦
