The Scotts Classic is a sturdy, very capable push reel mower. It has taller height settings than other mowers, and is well suited for thick grass like St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia. The 20 inch cutting area is huge for a reel mower – it’s the same diameter as many gas powered mowers and electric lawnmowers. These large blades can be a bit difficult to push in tall grass – since the mower relies on muscle power instead of a mower, it’s important to mow regularly to avoid muscle strain.

This towable reel mower can turn any scooter or wheelchair into a mower! It’s built to last, with a heavy duty 1.5 inch tubular steel frame and powder coat finish. The 21 inch cutting area is one of the biggest available for push reel mowers.

Since it’s propelled by a scooter instead of muscle power, the heavy weight doesn’t matter very much.

The Mascot 6 blade mower is a heavy mower – it weighs almost 40 lbs and requires strong arms and stamina to use. This mower is very durable, and is made by Amish workers in the United States.

The Mascot 18 Inch Mower works very well on all types of grass, including St. Augustine, Zoysia, and Bermuda Grass (these grasses are commonly found in the Southern US). The heavy duty cutting blades and chop bar do not jam up very easily, and the high inertia of the mower comes in handy.

The Mascot Silent Cut 18 is also available in an “Upright grasses model” that has higher ground clearance.

The Husqvarna 64 is one of the quietest reel mowers available. It is easy to use and lightweight, but the cutting width is a bit small compared to other mowers.

The 16 inch cutting area cuts about 200 square inches at a time. Compared to a 20 inch mower, this manual mower will take about 40% longer to mow a yard. On the other hand, the small cutting area can be a strength for thick grass because it will be easier to push.
