The switch to a push mower is surprisingly easy and fun (if you have a manageable size lawn). But why do it?

1. They are light.

2. They are quiet. Cutting the lawn will be a peaceful exercise once again.

3. They are environmentally friendly. No power or gas needed.

4. They are better for your grass. Rotary mowers tear the grass. Reel mowers cut the grass like scissors, leaving a fine spray of cuttings as mulch for your yard.

5. They are virtually maintenance-free.

6. They are as easy to push as much heavier motorized mowers.

7. And they don’t blow exhaust into your face while you’re mowing.

Thanks to the Reel Mower Guide for the tips.
