Paper Roses

I have to buy an electric lawn mower. Home Depot is the nearest source. [View all]

My back is too bad to push the old hand mower and I have decided that a small electric might be better.
Do you have any experience with their lower end models? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My yard is fairly small and flat. Do I need one of the self propelled mowers or will a regular one work?
$$$ is a factor too.
Thanks
