So to put you all out of your misery, i went for this one

http://www.argos.co.uk/ProductDispla...mber=3D7303274

except I got it at B&Q, as it was over =A320 cheaper. Has a roller for
stripes, wheeled not a hover so the grass comes up, and Flymo, so it
lasts at least 6 weeks!

Will keep you posted if it goes pop, but my first flymo (very mini
hover) which is over 10 years old now is still going strong.
