Why use a hand reel mower?

I, myself, have a reel mower. There are many reasons why these environmentally friendly machines make sense.

First and foremost, they DO NOT USE GAS. It is a small but effective way to save some money while keeping some of those pesky hydrocarbons out of the air, YOUR AIR. It may only seem like saving pennies, but those pennies add up. Gas can also spill while filling a tank, which is another waste of your hard earned money.

Second, upkeep is minimal. Basically, the blades have to be sharpened periodically. Think what it costs to take care of the mowers with motors. You have to check the oil as well as the fuel in the gas mowers. Then add the cost of regular yearly maintenance needed by mowers with motors. Of course, there are the breakdowns and trips to the repair shop. (Don't forget the cost of transporting your machine to the repair shop.) The money is really starting to add up. What's worse, when does it breakdown - right before the big party or family gathering.

Third, the workout. This can be a great way to get some cardiovascular exercise, provided your health permits. Burn some calories and build some muscle for free.

Fourth, the environment. This is a great way to take care of your lawn the green way. Your are not emiting fumes into the air. A gas powered mower emits more pollution than a car in the same time period. Another bonuse is that you are not adding to noise pollution. These are the quiet machines, unlike mowers with a motor. You can mow your lawn anytime without disturbing anyone with the noise. This is a great way to feel good about doing something to improve the environment while keeping your lawn, neat and trim.
