Choosing a Mower - Is a Reel Push Mower Right for You?

By Janet Ashby

Push, reel mowers have in the past been heavy machines that need a lot of effort to push and cut the lawn. Not any more! Nowadays reel mowers have been designed for easier use and more efficient cutting with much less effort.

So what are the benefits of changing to a push, reel mower?

Environmentally Friendly

The major advantage is that push mowers are more environmentally friendly. No pollution from a gas engine and the savings in gas purchase can be considerable. they are also much easier to maintain as there are no plugs, filters or oil to change.

Better Cut

Most rotary mowers act by tearing the grass, leaving the tips shredded which soon turn brown and look unsightly. A reel mower works by shearing the grass leasing to a better cut.

No Noise Pollution

Unlike noisy gas mowers push reel mowers are quiet. You won't be disturbing the neighbors while mowing with a reel mower.

Light Weight

Push reel mowers are very light weight and compact and are easy to store and transport.

Little Maintenance Required

The only maintenance needed is an occasional oiling and sharpening the blade. Some blades do not even need sharpening ad they have blades made from hardened steel and can last ten years.

Low Price

Reel lawn mowers are very cheap compared to power mowers selling from $100 to about $350.

Disadvantages

Of course the big disadvantage with push mowers is that you have to, well, push them! This can be seen as an advantage if you like the idea of the exercise but for older people or those less fit it is a distinct disadvantage.
