The deck on mine rusted through over the Winter, so I'm trying to decide whether to just replace the deck or, now, buy one of these. 0.85L tank? My present one has a two litre tank and that can just about manage one trim of the garden. Which makes it quite an expensive exercise. However, it takes me a couple of hours - so an electric one would probably consume 4kWHr. Not really that much of a difference. I think that I will go for this one. The replacement deck is nearly 50GBP inc delivery. +

Hmm a pretty decent self propelled with a larger collection bag is about £220 eg Screwfix Titan... This is dirt cheap but I think I'd end up replacing it sooner (edited)

This is a bargain..........

This machine is OK but is a throwaway product as spares availability is limited and sporadic. In these days of enviro evangelism, you'd think that if actions against climate change were driven by a genuine need for mankind to consume less rather than an excuse to charge us more for the basics of existence, products like this would be banned but they're not.
The machine itself is quite small and very light with a grass collector that fills very quickly. The biggest frustration for me would be the height adjuster. It's details like this which make it a poor choice but it's still a petrol mower for little more a good night out which would do nothing to get my garden tidy although for a few hours at least, I wouldn't care how my garden looked.
If this really is your budget or you need a small mower then there's nothing wrong with this.
On the plus side, it uses neither batteries nor an electric chord however if you spend more, you'll find better but even spending twice as much, you can still encounter the issues this has so overall, not a bad buy.
