Swapped my gas mower for a manual reel one in June, and my Saturday mornings got 40 minutes longer
I put it off for two summers because I figured a push reel mower would be a nightmare on my thick Bermuda grass in Phoenix, but it cuts cleaner and I don't breathe fumes for an hour. The real surprise was my electric bill dropping about $9 a month since I stopped charging the old battery. Anyone else made the switch and found a trick for the taller patches near the fence?
