I just bought an old fashioned reel mower!

I've had so many lawnmowers breaking down over the years. I got tired of taking them to shops and buying new ones, putting gas and oil, trying to figure out what was wrong with them, etc....I had heard great reviews about reel mowers, so I decided too try one. All I can say is WOW!! These things are awesome! And they cut better than my old gas push mowers!! Anyone else tried one?

When I bought my first one... a really reel oldie...my children thought I was nuts! Now, one daughter has one for her own yard and another daughter is buying one soon.
I have a gas one too, but much prefer the reel type.

@SW-User I don't think I am ever going back to a gas mower. I love this thing!

@Mardrae The good thing is that they don’t make a whole lot of noise, if the grass is not damp with dew you could get up early on a Sunday morning and start mowing and the neighbors wouldn’t complain. Also it’s a hassle to clean out from under a gas mower, all that grass that gets stuck up under the mower, with the reel-type mowers you won’t have that problem.
