actually I bought the cheapest push reel mower I could find that was at the
box store (less then $100.00) at the start of the mowing season, so far it
works wonderful no complaints.

only thing I don't like is where the wheels go over the grass it make the
grass lay down and the reel mower wont lift it like a rotary gas mower. So I
have to wait for the lawn to stand back up to trim those spot or I have
lines of tall grass in my yard but it not a big issue.
