Top 10 Reasons To Buy A Reel Lawn Mower

Buying a Reel Lawn mower can sometimes be difficult decision.  Back in the day reel mowers had a bad name being heavy and pain to use, but modern day reel mowers are much more reliable and effective.  If you're still not sure whether you want to buy a reel lawn mower or not, below is ten of the best reasons why you should buy a reel lawn mower.

Reel Mowers are easy to maneuver.  Because reel mowers are so light, you can use them to maneuver around difficult things like shrubs, gardens, and other tight spots that other mowers have difficulty getting.  They're also so much easier to push uphill because of their weight that if you have a hilly yard it's practically a must.

It's Environmentally responsible.  These mowers are great for the environment because they don't require gas and therefore don't pollute exhaust.  So there are no fumes to deal with, and you don't have to worry about running out of gas.

Reel mowers are also better for your lawn.  Because the reel mowers sheer the grass instead of tearing, the grass is cut much more evenly which makes the lawn healthier.  Normal mowers will end up tearing the grass often ripping it unevenly.  This leaves the grass vulnerable to diseases which can hurt the plant.

It's much more quiet than other mowers.  Because there is not a Gas Powered motor there's no noise.  There's a quiet sound as the blades pass cut the grass but that's about it.  Basically you can cut the grass anytime you want without worrying about waking the neighbors or even worse your spouse.

Reel mowers save you money.  You won't spend any money on gas which can be one of the biggest costs of mowing your lawn.  You also don't have to purchase oil for oil changes or any of the other stuff that goes along with conventional mowers.  In fact, you can easily save over $100 with reel Lawn Mowers, depending on how much you mow.  So in one season it pays for itself.

Reel mowers are very light.  Generally they only way about 20 pounds which is really convenient for shipping, in fact because it's so light many places will ship one for free.  The mowers are also great to hang up on the wall of your garage or shed and if you have to lift it over something it's super easy.

Reel mowers are inexpensive.  Reel mowers are constructed of modern aluminum and galvanized steel, so reel mowers are being constructed of high quality parts but because of the price of the parts and foreign labor they don't cost very much.  So even though you may already have a mower, you can afford to get a Reel Mower to use as a back up.  So if you ever have any problems with the first one you'll have another one you can use.

Reel mowers are great for small lawns.  If you live in a city or even the suburbs that you have just a little bit of lawn to mow, it doesn't make sense to get a giant mower.  These mowers are small and easy to store under a deck or in a tiny shed and they get the job done in no time.  In fact they are ideal for a small lawn.

It's easy to sharpen the blades.  The best way to get a professional looking lawn is to have sharp blades.  It doesn't matter what mower you have, the sharper the blades the better the cut.  With gas powered mowers it can be very difficult getting the blade loose and then having it sharpened and re-installing it.  With reel mowers, it takes maybe 15 minutes to sharpen the blades with a special kit (which only costs $15 bucks or so).

Safer than other mowers.  Reel mowers are human powered so when you stop pushing the blade stops turning.  You don't have to worry about leaving the mower running while you try to clear clumps of grass and you don't have to worry about shooting stones and sticks out the shoot towards the house.  Reel mowers have a small blade guard that prevents you from getting your hand stuck in the blades (which only could really occur when your sharpening it).

Push Reel Lawn Mower vs Power Lawn Mower or String Timmer?

Which are best for overall use of cutting glass in low expense to maintain?

Push reel uses only human power. Ours has never needed sharpening, so is both low cost and low maintenance. If you've never used one and have hills, you might borrow or rent one first to see whether you're up to it.
