When it comes to push mowers, you have a few basic options. First there is the standard gas push mower, then there are self-propelled mowers, various kinds of electrical mowers (including ones with and without cords), and finally the classic, the reel mower. You may not recognize the name, but chances are you would know one when you saw it. The reel mower may be the mower of your grandfather's generation, but it's making a comeback!
Simply put, push mowers are pretty much an environmentalist dream mower. There is no motor so there is no noise or emissions to worry about. Push mowers don't have a battery to discard and the only maintenance is sharpening the blades.

However, these classic mowers have had a bit of a facelift since your grandfather bought his first one fifty years ago. Many people claim that new models are much easier to operate than the old ones.
But aside from ease of use, they now come with a few accessories. For instance, if you don't want to pick up grass clippings after every time you mow, you can buy an attached lawn mower bag or an open grass catcher. Some models also offer adjustable blade heights to accommodate different kinds of grass.
If weight is an issue, reel machines are definitely the most lightweight option you'll find in a mower. It could simply be that one fact that makes this the best push lawn mower for you. Some, such as the Brill reel mower, can weigh as little as fifteen pounds! That's just a fraction of what most standard mowers weigh.
It may even be up for debate as to which one reel mowers are better for; your grass or your back. Many people believe that the way reel mowers cut grass is actually better for it than using a "regular" gas push mower.
