my hubby bought one and loves it, does anyone else own one?

I didnt even know they still made those, did it come with the bag grss catcher that clips on the handles? it has to be over 50 years sine i used one, it took me 40 years to finally buy a sit down and im not givin that baby up. i thought that's why we had grandchildren, to cut our lawns right?????

I think they are brilliant - save money on fuel or power and get fit at the same time because you have to put a little more efort into pushing them! A very green option. I haven't got one now as our garden is very up and down, so it would be very difficult to use, but if you have a fairly flat garden they are excellent - you do have to keep the blades sharp though.

We have a tiny yard, so those are perfect! My husband and I got one. You just have to make sure the blades are always sharp. That also means that you have to be careful so that kids arent around. You also have to be careful that the grass doesnt get really long - but that is true with any mower!

It really is so much nicer than a gas mower! There is no buying gas or noise! It doesnt take any longer either. I never liked the electric mowers. I couldnt imagine dealing with an extension cord all of the time!

A lot of people have the same response as your uncle. I think many people are just too lazy. When you actually try it, it isnt any extra work. But people love to have everything with a motor! It reminds me of 'Tim the Tool Man Taylor'!

I personally am probably too lazy to use a manual lawnmower, but with the way gas prices were going up like crazy last few years I know they have grown in popularity.

Don't have one. My grandparents had one when I was a kid. We thought is was great fun to push around the yard whether the grass needed cutting or not.

i was wondering about those the other day and am seriously considering buying one. i need something like that to keep me in shape and with the size of my yard, that would be the way to do it! i'm not one to jump on a riding mower and a push mower, i can never get the dumb thing started. this might just be what i need! how wide is the cut?

You know I have been wanting one of those. I haven't used one though since I was about 8 but it was a fun way to mow the yard and now it would be considered the "green" thing to do to help save the planet from gas emissions and whatever else they talk about harming the eco system. I would really want one though. I think it would be a great way to get some good exercise since you have to roll it back and forth sometimes several times in one area to get all of it properly cut. Does anyone know where to get one?

LOL. We used to have one of those a long time ago. We now use a self propelled one. It is alot easier on me.

Lol i donot have a lawn or a garden where i can use the mower, i have a roof top garden, if at all you call it a garden, it is having some flower plants, some tomoto and egg plants........Thank you so much for this discussion. I enjoyed responding it [em] happy[/em] keep sharing, cheers.
Happy posting.
