The physics for the reel mower are different than the rotary. You will find you arent as tired mowing the lawn using a rotary.
I'll keep it in mind. I'm trying to phase out as much lawn as I can, anyway, so ideally I won't need any mower, someday.

Having a lawn is nice, but having the right equipment makes it 100% easier. A sharp reel mower is so easy to use, and no gas. Its so nice to be able to cut in the evening without making a huge noise.

We have an electric mower, because we don't like dealing with gas and don't like the loud noise.

Yeah, Im not a fan of the gas mowers. But I do like the older style gas mowers, without all the safety features. They are just so much easier to use....except they burn more gas and oil. Last few years I encouraged my parents to move to the reel mower, its so much easier to handle. It can be a bit tricky to keep them sharp and cutting corrrectly, but once you set it up correctly it is so smooth.
