I have an old rotary one and even though it takes three or four passes, I don't mind as my lawn is fairly small. If you don't have a huge lawn it's probably better to get one of these push mowers, especially if this model you have a picture of works as well as everyone says.

Maybe you can get a used one on ebay.
