"Hi. I can't comment on the Izy but I've owned a Weibang legacy 56 for 3 1/2 years and it's been excellent. Build quality is very robust and starts every time. I don't know about the virtue model but if it's build as well as the legacy it will be a…"
"I'd go with the weibang 5yr warranty you can't get anything better but remember your not a contractor it's just for home use 😁 otherwise it's a 1yr warranty. I've got a weibang it's 7yrs old and hasn't broken anything yet.

"Hi Peter thank you, that does make sense, it is a cheaper end model (although the 46cm is £460 here!) I also don't do much mowing so I expect it will last me a bit longer than others who do a lot of mowing. "
"One thing to bear it mind is that the grass will probably need mowing weekly until the new turf has exhausted itself and starts to reply on nutrients in the ground."
