I like ours. Our lawn is not that big. I just did most of the back with the baby in the backpack in less than half an hour. The front is hard because it's not leevl ground due to construction work last year, so it takes half and hour for a small patch.
You do have to keep at it. We do it at least once a week and during rainy seasons and spring it needs it more often. It is hard work if the grass gets tall, but here in the dry south, once true summer sets in the grass is pretty darn slow-growing. The toughest months are april and may.
Ours cost $90 at home depot - we got the cheapest no-frills one a year ago april and haven't sharpened it since. Since the local kid chages $15 a lawn a week, we figure we paid for it pretty fast.
