any gas push mower
No I mean how the engine works and if it differs from a car engine

the gas vapors are ignited in the engine by the spark plug, with pushes the pistons, which are connected to the crank shaft. As this action happens many times, very fast, the crankshaft turns, which is attatched to the blades...so the blades spins and cuts the grass.

What is the best brand and what are some of the features for a push lawn mower? We have a large yard mostly flat with a slight slant. Where did you buy it?
my husband says he wants the exercise so he can lose weight

It sounds like you probably want a push mower, though a self-propelled is much easier on the legs & back, especailly on hills with a large yard.

Some of the more recent improvements:

Squeeze lever control of self propelled wheel speed.
A one touch control of cutting deck. One lever instead of 4 moves deck.
Key (electric) Start
No choke starting.
Gas caps which automatically add fuel stabilizer to fuel to prevent clogging of carb.
Longer homeowner warranties. (2 years+)

With a large yard, I would get at least a 6.5 HP engine with a mulching blade. Large rear wheels are overrated, though they do make it easier to negotiate some turns.

The John Deere JS45 ($500) has the pivoting front wheels which makes the unit more manuverable around tight turns, a plus for a yard with alot of trees and beds. JD is also known for better cut quality and reliability. A smaller cut width (21" vs. 22") with a similar powered engine will yield a better quality cut. That would be my pick.

Consumer reports Apr. 08 issue has a great comparison of nearly every push/self-propelled lawn mower.
