I just bought an old fashioned reel mower! I've had so many lawnmowers breaking down over the...

not for years but if I had a smaller yard it would be my weapon of choice

All was curious how good those mowers are.

They are perfect for small yards. Yes I have.

they work well for low cut grass, haven't used one in years. I have too much yard to use any kind of push power however.

What brand is it and where did you buy it?

Yeah, they are great.
They actually CUT the grass.
It's not something ripping the top off the grass blade.
Reel type mowers provide the best appearance IMO.

My grandpa had one when I was very young and we’d push it to play with. That’s all he had to cut his lawn. Keep the blades sharpened and it should work very well.

the landscapers can use whatever mower they want as long as the lawn looks like green carpet

The newer one are a whole lot better than the ones when I was a kid. Mind you they were made a lot better back then.

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.

They do a great job.

I’ve not. They look hard to push.
