Our New Lawnmower - Is it a Consumer Reports favorite?

lawnmower consumer reports joyful abode

Well, if Consumer Reports gives points for being happy…maybe so! This one is enjoying munching grass and frightening the local flowers.

Since we are moving again soon (GASP! Have I mentioned it in Joyful Abode yet?), this time to a house with a YARD… we went ahead and bought a lawnmower.

It feels like such a boring grown-up purchase. I don’t have any lawn-mowing experience, so it’s a good thing the husband (supposedly) enjoys mowing.

But I’m not looking forward to future deployments or long training exercises… just me and the lawnmower, together. Alone. Anyone have any tips on how to mow a lawn?

Just take your time is really it. I used to get relegated to mowing the lawn summers after my brother moved back in with my mom, and what helped me was to just take it slow, go in a very distinct and logical pattern (helps avoid missing spots and having to go back over it), and make sure you’re keeping an eye on how full the bag is (if it has a bag; if it just goes back onto the ground, then no worries there). And maybe get your favorite music on some kind of portable player and rock out while you do it. Makes the job seem much faster!
