How to Buy a Push Reel Mower


Push Reel MowerBefore you buy, make sure a reel mower is right for your type of lawn. If you've got a small yard that is relatively flat and devoid of nasty weeds, a push mower is perfect. On the other hand, if people joke about how hilly your yard is and it's infiltrated with thick weeds that a push reel mower won't be able to easily cut, you may be better off with a different kind of lawn mower (see Reel Mowers vs. Rotary Mowers).

If you and your lawn are good candidates for a push lawn mower, you can buy a basic model for under $90. Generally prices increase with the quality of the cut (more blades and/or specialized cutting abilities) and the lighter the mower. Even a top-of-the-line push mower, like the Scotts Classic Reel Mower, will only set you back $200 or less, about where motorized mowers start in pricing. A seated lawnmower with all the "trimmings" can easily set you back more than $1,000 and we've seen over-hyped deluxe models that go for $3,000 or more.
