BETTER FOR YOU: one
of the best forms of cardiovascular exercise; pushing a reel
mower burns as many calories per hour as tennis, downhill
skiing and low-impact aerobics (for an average 150 lb.
Person, that's 400 to 450 calories.) Plus the yard work is
done. Just be sure to check with your doctor if you have any
health restrictions on exercising.
2.
SUPERIOR CUT: better
for lawn. No ripping or tearing; the clean, even,
scissor-cut of a reel mower seals the grass blade, holding
moisture and keeping out disease organisms. Yields a natural
mulch by dispersing clippings in a fine spray (no clumping)
that decomposes quickly. Left on the lawn, the clippings
serve as a natural fertilizer for the grass.
3.
LOW MAINTENANCE: no
engine means no tune-up / repairs, no gas, no oil, no spark
plugs. Simply brush them off occasionally, spritz the blades
with WD-40 and sharpen them every other season. (Yes,
there's a DIY sharpening kit available too.)
4.
IDEAL FOR SMALL
LOTS: less lawn = less mower needed.
5.
LOW PURCHASE PRICE:
all models sell for very attractive prices, especially when
compared to the larger sums required to purchase powered
units.
6.
SAFER TO USE: reel
mowers are noted for safety; they stop when you do and don't
throw rocks or debris.
7.
BETTER FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT: no air pollution - no noise pollution, with
everyone in tune to environmental advantages, reel mowers
truly deliver; cutting grass the natural way.
8.
EASY TO USE: starts
when you do (no rope pulling). No key to remember, no idle
to adjust, no gas or oil to worry with. Lightweight, 19-34
pounds, reel mowers are easy to push, lift and store. You
push; it cuts, every time.
9.
BIG INTEREST: young,
old, urban, suburban, men, women. Environmentally aware.
Lawn fanatics. Exercise enthusiasts. All income levels.
Anyone and everyone with a patch of grass.
10.
NOSTALGIA: getting back to basics. A simpler, more natural,
peaceful lifestyle.
