We’ve always been big fans of push reel lawnmowers, mostly because they’re so quiet, efficient, and good for the environment. They also have the secondary effect of providing an excellent physical workout. How excellent?
Well, it’s been estimated that mowing the lawn with a manual push reel mower burns 250 calories, as opposed to using a traditional gas-powered mower, which burns about 180 calories. That’s assuming half an hour of work for a person weighing up to 180 pounds; if your lawn’s bigger than that (or, ahem, if you are), then it’s an even better deal!
