Rotary mowers are versatile in that they can more easily cope with longer and rougher  Grass than other types of lawn mower (so should you leave the

lawn longer than you ought between cuts, it won't be such a battle to deal with) . They are perhaps a better all round solution for most people who use their lawns and want it to look neat and tidy rather than be a show-piece. That is not to say that a fine finish is not achievable with any of these machines.

It is certainly possible to get the striped finish associated with the best quality lawn with a rotary mower as the stripes are the result of having a rear roller rather than the blade arrangement.

Rotary mowers cut the  Grass with a centrally mounted spinning blade which while it can give a good finish can't compete with a well adjusted cylinder mower that cuts more cleanly than the chopping action of the rotary.

Small electric rotary mowers may have plastic blades or a nylon line that cuts the  Grass, this has the advantage that it is far les. S likely to damage the electrical cable if it is run over than a metal blade. On the other hand such plastic blades are easily damaged by small stones, sticks or other debris, so you should always be sure to have some spare blades or nylon line to hand. It can be very frustrating when you're half way through cutting the lawn, the blades break and they can't be replaced until the next day or later.

Some rotary mowers have 4 independent wheels that give high manoeuvrability rather than having two front wheels and a rear roller. If your lawn has lots of beds and/or borders, with abrupt corners, or if there are trees planted into the lawn, then a 4-wheeled mower will allow you to easily cut around them. The mower is unlikely to be powered however so you will need to do the pushing. This style is also very good for long and rough  Grass when raised to the maximum height, the lack of a rear roller means that the  Grass is not flattened and so can be easily cut.

Hover mowers are rotary by nature. They float on a cushion of air and so are easier to manoeuvre around small obstacles.
