riding mower....for lazy women....could not resist 
... but have no idea so disregard from the practical side ...ha ha
I use a Fiskars reel mower. It's easier than pushing a regular rotary mower. It cuts my lawn as though I used a pair of scissors on it. It's quiet and throws no dust. I could cut grass in the middle of the night with enough light and never disturb a soul. And best if all no gas, oil or spark plug needed.

What do you prefer? Push/ Self-Propelled/Riding? Pursuade me....
Much depends on other factors to consider/put out there. Where do you live? How fast does your lawn grow? What size lawn do you have? Do you have any sort of physical limitiations that inhibits using a push/self propelled walk behind mower? Do you have teenagers who could do it for you for a lot less? 
If you've got the typical suburbia lawn (small patch in the front/meh sized yard in the back), any sort of riding mower is probably overkill, unless you've got some physical limitations. My property is about 7800 sq ft, a typical size for a 10-15 year old subdivision in Colorado. Grass doesn't grow abundantly fast here unless well fertilized and watered, in which case it does need to be mowed more often. That said, I bought a new mower 2 seasons ago on one of those finance offers from Lowes, buying a more high end mower than I normally would. But couldn't justify any sort of riding mower for my size lot. Just a matter of what's important to you.
Yeah Annipoo after getting one. I wondered why I used anything else. Lol
I have a few coworkers that bought them after me. One of them does cut his grass at night during the intense heat of the summer.
You have to keep grass no higher than 4 inches and cut regularly. Like 5 to 7 days during the growing season. It will have your lawn looking like a professional baseball field or golf course. Reel mowers are what's used on both in order to give that manicured look.
My lawn is fairly large. Probably 3/4 of an acre. I can cut it in a hour and half. You can run with the Fiskars. The faster you move the better it cuts.
I have lived near the beaches all my life and either had small lawns or a lawn service. 4 years ago I moved north and now deal with 2 large plots of land with grass and snow.
I have since bought my first tractor. Not a huge one but a nice one... "Simplicity"
Floating mower deck, Snow plow, Snow blower, Rear PTO with 3 point hitch, etc. I can do anything with it with ease. It has hydrostat foot controls for fwd/reverse.
Its a great tool and I will never push mow again. :] I never would have imagined I would EVER own a tractor, lol
