>>2721444I'd suggest an Ariens mower. Not cheep but cheeper then a Honda yet very well made and reliable. I had two of them over the years (now live in a condo and thus don't cut grass) the first was bought by the dad in 1980 and it lasted until the mid-2000s, at which point I bought another and it was still going strong when I gave it away to a neighbor when I moved several years back.
The bagging system is particularly well designed and easy to empty, switching from bag to side discharge is done via two nuts and I'd encourage you to get one with caster wheels, as it makes maneuvering much easier
