    If you have only a small yard, you can purchase a basic electric mower that requires a cord for about $150 if you shop around. You can also get a basic gas mower in the price range of $150 to $180. For a small yard, you need only a basic model of either. Either electric or gas models will do just as good a job of cutting the grass.

    A goat would probably be your "BEST" lawn mower for a small yard.

    I haven't seen an electric one yet though...........

    OK, now lets get serious.

    You can purchase a good quality push mower for less than $200. You will need a dry place to store it. Also, with a small yard look for the narrowest cutting width, like 20 inches, less if possible. That will keep it smaller for storage.

    You could either purchase a small electric mowe, or if it is really just a landing strip, you could purchase a manual push mower, the types that were around before electric and gas ones. Cost about 60 to 80 bucks for a good one, you get a little more excercise, it uses zero energy and doesn't take up any space. Just a little rust prevention for maintenance.

    Good Luck!

    I bought a battery powered electric one and love it. No cord to mess with, and it will cut about 4,000 sq ft of lawn on a charge unless I've left it too long between mowings. It's quiet and easy to push. But reel mowers are much better than they were, and I would certainly buy one of those for a very small lawn.

    i have a toro mower. never had any kind of problems with it. as far as electric mowers i had one a long time ago and got rid of it because i got tired of messing with the cord all the time or running over it and chopping it up. doesnt do your heart much good when the sparks fly. i have heard of a rechargeable mower that you can plug in tp charge, then mow. no cord in the way. dont know anything about them, but its a good idea if your yard isnt too big. no noise either, so you can mow early in the morning without getting the neighbors mad.

    I have a manual push mower and an electric weed whacker. Takes me all of 30 minutes to mow and trim my front and back yards. (front yard is 15x30 feet and back yard is 25x80 feet--more hardscaping in the front yard)

    downside with the manual mower---it will not cut reedy type weeds or grass. you will need a weed whacker to trim those.

    I have a Black and Decker 19" electric. They last forever, I had an 18" I bought from the previous owners. I don't know how long they had it but it lasted me 20 years. You watch out for the cord and that's it. Starts easy, I don't need to store explosive(gasoline). Keep blades sharp, does a fine job.
