I bought a Sunlawn manual mower recently, and couldn't be happier. It cuts through grass up to 6" high, and there is absolutely no noise, no stink, no fumes--nothing but the gentle chuckchuckchuck of the mower and the delicious scent of fresh-cut grass. Save the environment! Gas-powered mowers are more detrimental to the environment than automobiles. Put your money where your environmental mouth is and buy a manual mower!
