I'm thinking about getting my first petrol mower and I'm stuck between the Mountfield SP46 Elite and the Hyundai HYM460SP. They look almost identical on paper; the Mountfield has a reliable Honda engine, while the Hyundai is slightly heavier and comes with a bigger grass bag. They're similarly priced too. Should I go for the trusted Honda brand, or do I trust the positive reviews about the Hyundai? I'm skeptical about those reviews since many seem paid for. Has anyone used either of these mowers or something similar? I'd appreciate any feedback!

I'd say the Mountfield is a solid choice because of its reputation. The Honda engine is known for reliability, though parts can get a bit pricey. Just keep in mind that if your lawn is under 200m², you might want to think about a battery mower to save on fuel and maintenance costs.
I was looking at battery mowers for my ~200sqm yard, but I also have about 100sqm of grassy verge the council only cuts a couple times a year. I'm worried about the battery running out, especially since my strimmer is always dead! Can battery mowers handle mulching too?
