I have a gardena reel motor. Its pretty awesome.
Here are some things to take into account:
-reel mowers require you to mow the grass much more often. every 3-4 days instead of 7+ days of regular mower. this is because a reel mower does not work well with long grass.
-the finished job looks different with a reel mower. its much more straight and uniform as it cuts the tops of grass off rather than using a spinning blade like a gas/electric mower. (this is why golf courses look so manicured)
-forget about cutting your lawn if your grass is moist or damp. it will be a bitch.
-also you would think a reel mower would be cheaper since it has no motor right? a good reel mower will cost you 200+
if you do go the reel mower route, i highly highly recommend getting a good one. You can find some for 50-70$. those ones are crap and you will notice a difference when mowing the lawn in terms of effort needed to push the damn thing.
my gardena literally almost pushes itself.
