I have a small yard, maybe a quarter of an acre. Do I need a big, expensive mower?

Not necessarily! A lighter, more maneuverable push mower or a cordless electric model could be perfect for smaller yards. They're typically more affordable and easier to store, saving you money and space.

What are some important features I should look for, beyond engine type, when choosing a mower?

Consider features like the cutting width (which determines how much lawn you can cut in one pass), adjustable cutting heights for the look you want, and how easy the mower is to start and operate. A mower that's easy to use and adjust can greatly enhance your mowing experience.
