Scotts Classic 20" Push Reel Mower

My Scotts Classic 20" Push Reel Mower has made mowing my lawn a true joy. As crazy as this may sound to some. I don't miss the roaring noise of the lawnmower engine and the smothering odor of the exhaust blowing in my face. With the Scotts Classic Push Reel Mower all I hear are the birds' chirping and the quiet swish of the reel mower's blades as they efficiently trim the lawn. With gas prices fluctuating to ever more insanely high amounts, it gives me peace of mind to know that the only fuel I need to cut my grass is a good healthy breakfast.

I grew up in the country and my father always used an old gasoline push mower that he seemed to always be tuning and tweaking on. It was loud and the exhaust was foul smelling. It really did make me appreciate the peaceful moments in between the mowing. We had a rather large yard and it would take my father a couple of days to mow it all. When I was older I picked up the mowing torch and for years I was a gasoline mower drone myself until I moved out and rented a place that hired people to mow the grounds.

For years I thought I was free from ever having to do that chore again. Boy was I wrong about that. You see, I grew up in the country and after years of traveling around, moving from place to place with my wife, I decided it was time to move back to the peace and quiet of the country life. I honestly think that it was the three years we spent in Japan which was wall to wall concrete with tiny bits of grass poking through the asphalt here and there that helped to convince us. Well, that and our noisy city neighbors that never seemed to sleep.
