Been married 17 years but lived in apartments for 3 of those years. So, in 14 years of needing to cut grass we have gone through 3 or 4 lawn mowers. Is this normal? I remember my parents having the same mower, toaster, blender, vacuum, tube TV, etc. all through my childhood. So, the days of things lasting 20-30 years are gone????? Anyway, this last mower (Toro) lasted 6-7 years. DS, who cuts the grass, is frustrated that it won't bag the grass anymore and constantly stalls out. He wants us to get a new one. How long should a mower last and any suggestions on which to buy? TIA!
