If you pay him enough, Manual will probably do a good job.

Neither, get a robomow or BamaBot and never worry about your yard again.

When I had a half acre to mow, I was happy I got the self-propelled. I thought my neighbor's riding mower was overkill but different strokes and all that.

I also have the HRX217 and love it. I have about 3/4 of an acre that I can take care of in about 45-60 minutes depending on the heat. I also mow another area (no obstructions) periodically that is about 2 acres in about 90 minutes.
However, if I were younger (<30) I might still get a light-weight lower cost push mower.

Neuton makes a battery powered mower. I have 2. One cuts a bigger patch than the other but they are easy to use and don't make any noise. Made for smaller mowing areas though. I really liked my electric start Lawnboy too. It was self propelled and light but it died and lawnboy went out of business or sold out to someone else. So I got the Neuton(s). Unless you really enjoy sweating, huffing and puffing and getting totally worn out when mowing grass get a self propelled anything over a push mower.

Well, I pulled the trigger on a Toro with a Honda motor. But it is a manual push mower and not self-propelled. I was going to buy the self propelled, but just decided that I've been using a push mower for over 20 years, and there's no reason to change now. Plus, it is good exercise. Thanks all for the advice.

Boooooh !
Kidding.
You're right about it being good exercise though.

But do they give milk?
