Noise
-
Although electric mowers are considerably quieter than their gas counterparts, they still produce a significant amount of noise. A reel mower is human powered and nearly silent.
Efficiency
-
Modern reel mowers are very efficient and fairly easy to operate. Electric powered mowers, however, require less manual work and can cover a larger area in less time.
-
Savings
-
Most electric mowers are powered or recharged from house outlets. For this reason, each use means an increased monthly energy cost. Manual reel mowers do not add to monthly costs.
Exercise
-
Reel mowers offer greater exercise for homeowners, because the movement and the mechanism are manual. Electric mowers require less exercise to use.
Effectiveness
-
Both reel and electric mowers work well on normal grass lawns. However, tougher materials, such as weeds, can jam a manual reel mechanism. Electric mowers are better able to handle thicker areas.
