Unhappy Lawnmower Advice

boring title - I know..

my mower has died on me today after 4 years of weekly use..
only a cheapo flymo compact..

but I need a new one.
Any recomendations for a replacement?

Not after petrol, ride on though.
My lawns arent massive, but the front is on a steep slope and is a pain to cut..

I dont know where to start. any ideas?

I really dont want to be having to replace the un bought new one anytime soon- so either a 3yr manufacturer warranty or a good sturdy brand would be nice.

ta.

Oh right, thought you wanted an electric ride on mower - that would be fun

Why don't you want petrol?

Everyone laughed at me when I bought a £100 B&Q petrol mower. The beast is three times the size of my old electric grass cutter.

Cutting the grass now takes 15 mins (as opposed to an hour) and there are no leads trailing around. Also, as it's an engine (I'm a bit sad) there is something very appealing about cutting the grass now.

didnt want petrol due to size of the machine (usually huge) limited storage space.
