Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep within a dense and mystical forest, there lived a young and vibrant woman named Clara. Known for her beauty and kind heart, Clara was adored by all. However, Clara had a deep secret that she hid from the villagers; she was born with a mysterious curse. Every full moon, she would transform into a fearsome weredeer. This curse had been passed down through generations in her family, but Clara was the only one affected in her time. The villagers were unaware of Clara's curse and would often marvel at the sightings of a magnificent and elusive deer in the forest.
If you have a flat or sloped lawn up to one-half acre, consider the American Lawn Mower Company 1815-18-21. It has five heat-treated alloy steel blades that cut through the grass like butter and heavy-duty 10-inch polymer wheels. As a result, homeowners with small to medium yards can quickly manicure their lawns with precision.
Cost comparison The Scotts 615-16S is priced higher than about 60 of all the reel mowers we researched and higher than two-thirds of the reel mowers in its size class. The cutting width of this mower, combined with extra back wheels for maneuverability, a cutting height ranging from 1 inch to 3 inches, and a reasonable weight of 30 pounds help make this mower a wonderful value for the money.
The villagers were unaware of Clara's curse and would often marvel at the sightings of a magnificent and elusive deer in the forest. Little did they know that it was Clara, trapped in the form of a beast, desperately longing for freedom. Clara had sought the advice of countless witches and sorcerers, all of whom were unable to break the curse.
Reel Mowers
The ultimate guide to push reel lawnmowers.
Recommended Reel Mowers to Buy
So are you convinced that you should be using a reel mower too? I hope so! I live in Dallas, and have a St. Augustine grass lawn, one of the most challenging grass types for reel mowers. Right now I’m using a Mascot reel mower, which I am very happy with. The Mascot is a very heavy mower, which makes it hard to pick up. But it’s actually much easier to push through a thick, tough grass like St Augustine. It does not require a huge amount of effort to mow with. My wife is able to mow with it with no problems when I’m out of town. I’m going to try the Fiskars mower soon to see how it does, as my St Augustine grass starts to thicken up as the weather warms. I’ll be sure to update when I do.
So which push reel lawnmower should you buy? The truth is that there’s not a single “best” reel mower that excels for every situation. Different mowers have different strengths and weaknesses. You have to consider your type of grass (or area of the country), and the features that are important to you, and choose based on that. I’ve narrowed things down to the four models that cover all of the various lawn scenarios, and that are also the four best reel mowers in general, in my opinion.
I sell reel mowers for a living because I work for Clean Air Gardening. I’ve been doing this since 1998, so I’ve dealt with thousands and thousands of people, and gotten their feedback. We have a 60 day money back guarantee, so we have to take the mowers back if someone doesn’t like them. That gives me an incentive to sell something that is actually going to work, so that it doesn’t get returned. So here are the mowers for sale that you can shop for online or in local stores that I recommend, with a short explanation of why you might consider each model. Brill Razorcut 38 The Brill Razorcut 38 is an excellent German-made push reel mower. It weighs only 17 pounds, but is ultra durable, and features a silent cut design. This mower works well on a large variety of grasses – however, it is not recommended for thicker grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia.
With thicker grasses like those three, the light weight tends turns from a huge advantage into a big disadvantage. Overall, this is an phenomenal reel mower. Its superior construction and design make it an ideal choice. I wish I could use this on my own lawn, but I have St Augustine and cannot. If you are in the northern half of the country, the Brill Razorcut 38 (or the similar-but-smaller Razorcut 33) is likely to be your best choice for a reel mower.
Mascot 18 Inch 6 Bladed Reel Lawnmower The Mascot 18 inch 6 Bladed Reel Mower is a tough, sturdy push reel mower. It’s heavier than most push mowers (it weighs in around 42 pounds), yet it is still easy to use. The added weight to this real mower actually has a positive effect, as it allows you to easily push through thick grasses such as Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Bermuda. The Mascot mower has a silent cut design, which means the reel blade barely makes contact with the cutter bar. Its cutting range is adjustable, from half an inch, all the way up to two and three quarter inches. So if you’re in Florida or Texas or the gulf coast area and you have St Augustine, Bermuda or Zoysia grass, this is a mower should you consider. If you’re in the northern half of the country, the extra weight of the mower might not provide much of an advantage for you. This reel mower is built to last, and built to keep your lawn looking sharp. If you are familiar with the old Agri Fab reel mowers from years ago, I am pretty sure this mower is a duplicate of that design. There’s also a cool backstory about this mower. It is made in China, but an Amish company owns the design. They import them into Pennsylvania, where an American inspects and sharpens each one and adjusts it before the mower ships out to any customer. Scotts Classic Reel Mower The Scotts Classic Reel Mower has a large 20 inch cutting width. It’s a workhorse of a push reel mower. The cutting width of this mower, combined with extra back wheels for maneuverability, a cutting height ranging from 1 inch to 3 inches, and a reasonable weight of 30 pounds help make this mower a wonderful value for the money. It can knock out a wide variety of grasses, and is a good choice if you like to keep your grass on the tall side. It doesn’t have the build quality or elegance of a German made mower, but it gets the job done. It has been a best seller for more than a decade. I used this mower on my own Bermuda lawn, and then a St Augustine lawn for several years until I recently switched to a Mascot reel mower. The Scotts Classic reel mower is a good mower for the money, in my opinion. It isn’t quite as easy to push through Bermuda or St Augustine as the Mascot (because it is a medium weight mower, probably), but it’s still reasonable. This is a good all around mower for someone who wants a wider cut, and the ability to cut higher, and it works all over the US. Fiskars Momentum Reel Lawn Mower The Fiskars Momentum Reel Lawn Mower is a brand new design, introduced in 2010. Unlike other push reel mowers, it throws the grass forward, instead of backward. It’s a pretty strange looking beast, and it’s a very heavy 53 pounds. Like the Mascot though, that makes it hard to pick up and carry, but not necessarily hard to push through the grass when you cut. This mower ranges in cutting heights from 1? to 4? – the tallest cut of any reel mower out on the market. I can’t imagine anyone keeping their grass 4 inches tall, but I suppose you could if you wanted to. The Fiskars lawnmower features an 18 inch cutting width. A nice feature about this mower is also the chain and gearing feature, which is related to the way that the mower throws the grass in front of the mower instead of behind it. Fiskars says that this chain system delivers twice the energy of a normal reel mower. I’ll be testing this mower on my own thick St Augustine lawn soon, and will report back on how it does compared to the Mascot. Overall, the Fiskars Momentum looks like a durable, long lasting mower that will provide your lawn with a premium cut. The build quality is very nice on this mower. Have a reel mower that you love? Leave a comment and tell me why you recommend it.

However, manual lawn mowers are much harder on the user, and finding a good electric-powered reel mower is difficult. So remember that coarse grass is easier to cut with a reel mower than fine-textured varieties such as fine fescue.
The boundaries between human and beast were simply too strong. Clara felt trapped, torn between living a normal life and embracing the power and freedom her weredeer form provided. One fateful evening, as the full moon hung high in the sky, Clara ventured deep into the forest, hoping for a chance encounter with the mythical white witch, rumored to have the power to break any curse. Days turned into nights, and Clara's hope slowly waned as she wandered aimlessly through the vast forest. In the midst of her despair, a feeble and wise old woman appeared before Clara. Her eyes glimmered with ancient knowledge, and her voice carried a sense of deep understanding. The old woman revealed herself to be the white witch and took pity on Clara's plight. With a gentle touch, the white witch revealed a profound truth to Clara. She explained that the curse could only be broken by embracing both her human and weredeer sides harmoniously. The curse was not a punishment but a gift, a testament to the duality of nature and the power within. Clara absorbed the words of the white witch, feeling a newfound sense of purpose and understanding. The curse that had haunted her for so long was not a burden, but a symbol of her unique identity. In that moment, Clara made a choice – to accept her weredeer form and use it for the greater good. From that day forward, Clara embraced her dual nature and became a guardian of the forest, protecting it from any harm that might befall it. As the weredeer, she possessed the grace and strength of the animal kingdom, while as Clara, she wielded her intelligence and compassion. News of Clara's transformation spread throughout the village, and instead of fearing her, the villagers saw her as a mystical being, a representation of the magic within the forest they called home. Clara's curse, once a burden, had become a powerful symbol of unity and acceptance. And so, the curse that turned the weredeer became a story of self-discovery and the embrace of one's true self. Clara's journey taught the villagers and generations to come about the importance of accepting both light and darkness within, transforming what was once seen as a curse into a cherished part of their folklore..
