I decided to buy a more economical friendly grass cutter and since I live in a townhouse, I thought it would be perfect.  It cuts the grass very well and you can adjust the blade.  My only gripe is that it works wonderfully if your yard is completely flat.  I have a few dips and small slope and I definitively had to go back and forth over several sections which was time consuming and a little frustrating. Make sure to cut your grass weekly because it is more labor intensive if the grass is higher.  On the plus side, it gives me a great workout and my grass is cut low!
