Deere Mid

Deere Mid
Buying a push mower: do you recommend a good one ($400-450), mid-range ($250-350), low-end (<$200), or used?

I’ve done some research on models and ratings, and this is what I’d probably buy in each category::

“Good” ($400-450): John Deere, Honda, or possibly Toro
Mid-Range ($250-350): probably a Lawn Boy
Low-End (under $200): probably a Yard Man
Used: No clue what to expect!

We’re a couple in our 50s, own a Minnesota home with a yard that takes about 2 hours to mow, and we don’t plan on moving anytime soon. I’m not sure how much difference there is between good models and budget models. In other words, is paying double the price worth it in the long run? What do you think?

Thanks for any advice!
Just to clear up any confusion, I will be buying a walk-behind self-propelled gasoline mower, regardless of which price range.

I bought a Toro and it was guaranteed to start and was still starting when the body rusted out because I left it out all the time and this is salty south Texas. I bought the same thing, just a new model and it is fine and starts quickly. For $319 thereabouts I got the higher back wheels, it’s a three way with bag but like the mulching idea, and it is self propelled. I just have a double lot and it takes me two hours to cut it because I have planted so many things to go around. The self propelled makes it easier on my old bones. The only difference is the new one has smaller big back wheels and I prefer bigger back wheels because I mow over a lot of stuff. I’ve had cheaper ones and I end up having to have them serviced every year and so end up paying about the same but more hassle for the cheaper ones. They only won’t start when the grass is way tall. . .I’ve always bought the cheap ones and threw them away but I like the self propelled and I like having a more powerful better machine. I got it at Home Depot and it was on sale. Sometimes they offer an extra year warranty on the starting but it comes with a two year guaranteed to start. It’s worth the $ for the quality, the goodies and it lasts longer. . .
