Q: Hi there, I am interested in buying a reel lawn mower and don’t know which one to buy. I live in South Florida (Miami). I don’t want to spend money on gas and I definitely don’t like fumes. I heard our grass down here is difficult to cut with reel lawnmowers and wanted to know which one you would recommend. Thanks again.
by Antonio from Florida on June 10, 2011

A: Antonio - If you live in South Florida, chances are your lawn is a St. Augustine type of grass. And yes, this is some of the toughest grass to cut with a reel mower. If you have a thick grass like a St.Augustine, a Zoysia, or a Bermuda, you are going to need a heavier weight reel mower to plow through the thicker blades of grass, and that means it's going to be harder to push. I would recommend the Fiskers Momentum reel mower. Fiskars reel mower The Fiskars weighs more than a conventional reel mower, but the forward position of the reel and the versa-cut height adjustment will probably give you the best performance when it comes to managing thick grass like you have.

Good Bargain

I received my mower the other day. It was easy to put together. I put WD-40 on it and it was as smooth as butter.

We had a dry spell. The grass was short and the weeds tall. Maybe I was doing something wrong but it wouldn't cut the weeds.

It is a great value. I never have gas and I decided to put less money where my mouth was. Nice machine.

Great States Great Mower

I am golf crazy living in Florida and have always been impressed with the look of the fairways being cut with the high tech reel mowers.

I have Bermuda grass and have always been a Lawnboy guy. I have often wanted to try a reel mower but was hesitant to invest the money and not be satisfied.

My wife bought one for my birthday about a month ago. I have been using it ever since, and what a change in the yard.

I keep my blade sharp on the gas mower but it still leaves swirl marks and brown areas from chopping off the top. Not anymore. This mower cut... more
