I had an old, nifty looking push mower like that for my tiny Silicon Valley lawn. I even had the blades re-sharpened. That thing SUCKED. The blades would get stuck on anything larger than a one week old blade of grass and the whole thing would suddenly stop shoving the handle into my stomach. It was not fun and I got in a bad mood every time I mowed the lawn. About two years ago, one of my neighbors bought a new gas mower and put his ten year old gas mower out on the sidewalk with a "FREE" sign on it. I promptly walked over and rolled it home. It has been fabulous! I'll never go back. I might even pay for a new gas mower when this one dies ;-).
If you're lawn is small enough, like mine is. A good weedeater might work too - it would definitely be better than the push mower.
