Default Hand powered mower for rough lawn?

Hi,

I've moved to a place with a lawn of about 20 x 15 feet and another
smaller lawn elsewhere. I think thats too much for my cordless
strimmer to cope with so I'm looking at getting a lawnmower.

I was thinking of picking up a cheap hand powered cylinder mower from
Argos. The lawn is flat but far from immaculate, having a couple of
weeds, bumps and occassional twigs etc in amongst the grass. Would a
hand powered mower be ok for this or are they meant for immaculately
kept lawns?

I've had a hover mower in the past but I like the idea of no power
cables, simplicity etc.

TIA.
