Earthwise Reel Mower

Reel mowers like this one perform best on regularly maintained lawns. If your grass has grown significantly taller than 3 inches, you may need to use a string trimmer or a traditional rotary mower first to bring it down to a manageable height before using the reel mower.

It is quite simple. The mower uses a quick-snap system that allows you to adjust the cutting height between 1 and 3 inches without needing any tools.

Yes, like all reel mowers, the blades will eventually require sharpening to maintain a clean cut. However, because the blades are made of durable tempered alloy steel, they hold their edge well and will not need maintenance as frequently as lower-quality models.

At 24.5 pounds, this mower is relatively lightweight and designed for easy maneuverability. The 10-inch front wheels and cushioned ergonomic handles help make pushing it across a standard lawn feel smooth and manageable.

No, the 5-blade reel system is designed to cut grass cleanly, similar to a pair of scissors. This method leaves the clippings on the lawn as a natural mulch rather than ejecting them, resulting in a residue-free finish.

Maintenance is minimal since there is no engine, spark plug, or fuel system to worry about. You should keep the blades clean of debris after use and occasionally check that the reel is properly adjusted for a clean cut.
