Lawnmowers

Some people are easily pleased

That said, I did find jet washing the patio with my new Karcher very therapeutic at the weekend

Just been over to my son's for a few days and jet washed his patios and numerous paths. They were in a bit of a state but now look much fresher.
I agree, very relaxing and therapeutic.

But back to lawnmowers. The main problem with virtually all rotary mowers is that they only have wheels and if you get to close to the flower beds the wheels fall off the lawn and make a mess of the turf.
Generally cylinder mowers have a substantial cylinder at the back which stops them falling off the lawn.
And they make a much better job of getting a a clean and tidy close mown surface.

For an old man with knackered shoulders my push button start mower was pleasing

Sorry....but that's driver error, not an issue with the mower.

if the wheels are further apart than the blade length (often 1", and I have examined many) then the cut grass will never extend to the lawn edge.
