mattwnz:MikeB4: We switched from mowing our own when I could no longer do them and my wife too busy with work. Best decision we made, frees up a big chunk of time in the weekend and they do it even if we are away.
It is good exercise though.
joker97: Anything with briggs and stratton motor. Cheapest is cobra from mitre 10. Or something comparable from Bunnings etc. Paid $299. Wife tried to kill it by attacking the trampoline which snapped ... Still works though something is vibrating a lot. No rust.

richms: My current mower has a blade that is a giant disc with 4 swinging blades on it, the last one just had a metal bar that seemed to be combination propeler/fan and blade so it actually pushed the clippings thru.
Current one constantly clogs. It has a "smart chute" which is BS, have to have a coat hanger to hold it open since the hole when in side discharge is so small it just clogs.

I have a blue piece of twine, looped at each end to raise the catcher cover a bit. Not OSH compliant I'd say

joker97: If your grass is so long and dense, You need to cut in two goes.
Cut it shorter, ie max out the height of your mower first go, then cut down to the height you want second go.
In fact if it's so dense and long you might just use a weedhacker and save your frustration.
