If you like the idea of a striped finish to your lawn, a rear-roller rotary lawnmower is often the best choice. Strictly speaking, a rear-roller rotary mower is a hybrid between the classic cylinder mower and, as the name suggests, a rotary machine. The great advantage of the rotary blade is that your grass does not need to have a perfectly even surface for the mower to work correctly, meaning that you can achieve a classic striped lawn without having to worry unnecessarily about every little blemish on the turf. Another great reason to buy a rotary mower with a rear-roller is its ability to mow along the edge of a border or flowerbed without falling in; the front wheels are inset from the width of the cutting blade and rear-roller, allowing accurate mowing without wobbling on the border edge.
