Not my experience at all. Mine is barely harder to push than a gasoline mower.
There are two drawbacks: 1) To get an even cut you often have to go over an area twice at a right angle. 2) If you let the grass get too long it simply doesn't work: the reel will just push over the blades instead of cutting them.
- michael_dorfman 18y ago#2 was the deal-breaker for me. I couldn't keep up with the grass, and once it got to a certain length, it just became impossible.
- tomjen 18y agoUnless the grass is long enough to need a scythe, you should do fine with a push mover - just go over the area a couple of times and don't worry about an even cut the first time.
