Honda always best for self propelled lawn mower. My previous mower lasted a dozen years and was still going when I replaced it with my new https://bestoutdooritems.com/best-gas-lawn-mowers/ I'd recommend it for you as it's self-propelled with the best controls on it, the blade-brake mechanism means you can keep the motor running (but without the blade spinning) so you can go pick up rocks/trees/etc that are in the way - without the need to pull-start it again.
