Question about mowing the grass

[Novara]

4. Thanks for the replies, another question

So neither of you rake? Just leave the grass clippings? I don't really care all that much about what it looks like as long as it's decent and not overgrown, so some grass clippings might not bother me.

I was also thinking about a battery powered electric, but they're more costly.

I have nearly an acre, and small twigs can be a problem. I just raked up all the pinecones from the winter - it took about 3 hours in total - and I raked a lot of twigs as well. Can either a push mower or an electric handle little twigs or will I need to rake those first? It's windy enough that there are always twigs.

Thanks for the help. I'm new at this!
