Another favorable report on an ordinary (push it, bag-on-the-side)
Sears power lawnmower: When we bought our current house, we went from one
with a postage-stamp sized yard front & back to a 170 X 80 lot. After
a year of trying to cope with a non-power pushmower, or paying a kid
to do it for me, I gave up and bought the cheapest, bottom-of-the-line
Sears model on sale. 4-cycle, pull-rope start. I change the oil once
a year, and put a new blade on it after I mowed my dog's tie-out stake
(metal screw-in-the-ground thing) a couple times. Has worked with no
maintenance for at least 8 years now. Started up on the first pull of
the rope Monday when I got it out of the garage and fueled it up for
this season. 

Moral: don't get fancy, and you have fewer things to break. Also maybe
I was just lucky...
