Top 10 Petrol Lawnmowers for 2014

Last year we brought to you a list of our top 10 lawnmowers for 2013. A year on we have decided to bring to you our top picks for the 2014 season!

Choosing the right lawnmower isn’t as easy as you’d first imagine. With so many different types to choose from, such as rotary or cylinder, push or power driven, petrol or electric, it is very easy to get confused and end up buying a lawnmower which isn’t specifically suited to your lawn.
