Saving some green on a lawn mower
Just in time for spring, Consumer Reports' May issue tells you which lawn mower is a cut above the rest regarding the best bang for your buck.
The magazine tested more than 80 models in determining the most and least reliable models.
Five mowers were called Consumer Reports "best buys."
They include the new Toro Recycler 20333 ($420) and the Craftsman 37435 self-propelled models.
The magazine also compared tractor models if you have to mow half an acre or more. Three tractors from Craftsman, Cub Cadet and John Deere were considered best buys.
Those deemed best buys combined even cutting with fewer visible clippings when mulching and side-discharging.
The top mowers also bagged more efficiently and were easier to use.
