New mower

Hi

I'm looking into buying a New mower and wondered if anyone was using a 18in or 16in Petrol push mower that is able to switch from collect to mulch?

Ive been using a 18in push izy and although these are relatively cheap mowers,since this has done the job I need and has lasted me over 5 years I'm looking at spending similar money.

So is there anything out there for around £400?

    Why not buy a mulched and keep the izy?
    2 in 1 and 3 in 1 mowers are not brilliant in that price range. I always have 2 mowers with me to have a choice at each place
    • Hi
      I also carry a 21in HRG VK.
      Again I appreciate that these are not the best,it does what I need it to do.
      Because I am happy with this mower I would like to get a smaller version for the smaller/awkward gardens.

        I like the izys I think they are great for little gardens. But for mulching I think you need a dedicated machine as they work so much better. Problem I think is in that price range your kind of stuck in no mans land between cheap rubbish at the bottom but not high enough for a decent all rounder (if there is such a thing!)
        What about the Honda mulcher?
        • Yeh totally agree with you about the price range.
          I've been looking for a while for something in my price range so thought I'd put a post up to see if anyone could miraculously come up with something.
  • I would recommend an Etesia Pro46 £400 will get you a good second hand one i think £650 ish a new one with Honda engine. I prefer the old one.

    It will mulch, collect wet grass and it will do everything you need and they are bullet proof especially with the honda engine. My oldest one was purchased secondhand just to see what they were like for £300 its a 2010 model and we use it every day. Unusually for a Briggs engine it starts first time everytime too !
