Reel mowers offer many benefits that appeal to a wide variety of purchasers. First-time home buyers appreciate the simplicity of reel mowers because they save valuable time and money by eliminating the hassles associated with powered rotary mowers.
Reel mowers are people-powered, with no cord to pull, no spark plugs, and no gas or oil to pour.
They are easy to maintain and lightweight, ranging from 16 to 27 pounds, making them easy to push, lift and store. Most have suburban homes with lot sizes ranging from one-quarter to half an acre. First-time home buyers can afford to have the healthiest lawn on the block. Horticulturally, reel mowers provide a clean, scissor-like cut that sutures grass blades, allowing moisture to stay in and keeping diseased organisms out of the lawn. And there's no need for bagging because reel mowers disperse grass clippings, a natural fertilizer, in a fine spray that decomposes quickly.
