Thr reel mower has a much better quality of cut. You can prove this to yourself by examinining individual stalks of grass with magnification. Reel cut grass should have a sheared blade of grass with the blade having an even, green end. A rotary cut blade of grass will be fractured on the cut end and it will be brownish after cutting. The ovrall result will be a darker, more dense lawn with a reel mower, the grass being healthier and less stressed.

I enjoy listening to music in my ears while I reel. I am just not sure if I should buy 16 or 18 inch. It's a tough decision. I bought a 14 inch and counted my steps and it's the same as my 21 inch MTD gas mower. I think this guy is just out of shape. After the 3rd time, you will get comfortable with it. I have fescue, I like it and only cut once a week. Seriously, I think this young man is out of shape.

I had a longer comment but it's pointless, and yes, at the time I was 30 pounds heavier, but that had nothing to do with my enjoyment or lack there of. I'd like to see people mow 4,000 square feet up hill, or along the hill, uneven (at the time), and tell me it's an enjoyable mow. When people have a level, flat lawn, reel mowing is easy. Anyway, that doesn't matter. I'm fine with people calling me out. Thanks for watching.

Expensive? I guess he's talking about a powered reel mower, not a push reel mower. Brand new, you can get a push reel mower for about the same or less than a rotary power mower. Or you can get lucky like I did. My first was a curbside pickup, an old Ward's reel mower--zero dollars. It lasted a few years before it became unfixable for me. I've just replaced it with a newer Great States reel mower from a yard sale for $15. Yes, it takes a bit more effort to push a reel mower around, especially if the grass starts getting too high, so you have to mow more frequently to stay on top of it. But obviously, there's no gasoline, no noise, no carbon emissions (except from your own breath!). Every thing has its advantages and disadvantages, and it's up to you to decide which side is greater for you. I got into reel mowing because I'm really CHEAP, and kept going because I needed the exercise! ;-)

More time, meaning I need to mow more often with the reel mower. If I let the grass get too long, the reel mower doesn't do well. You get more forgiveness with the rotary. With my new job, there's no way I can mow every 2-3 days. Sorry for not making that clearer in the video. Thanks for watching.
