A Reel mower snips the grass, cutting each blade like a pair of scissors. A Rotary Mower is a mower in which the blade spins horizontally (east to west) and uses a sucking and tearing action to cut the blades of grass.

Considering this, what is the difference between a rotary mower and a cylinder mower?A cylinder lawn mower or reel mower has anywhere between five to twelve exposed blades at the front of the mower that rotate trapping and slicing the grass blades against a fixed bottom plate like a pair of scissors. Rotary lawn mowers have one very high speed rotating blade underneath.Beside above, why is a reel mower better? Push reel mowers are better for your grass’ health. Torn and shredded grass leaves your lawn vulnerable to disease and insect attacks; grass that is cleanly cut with a reel mower heals faster and is less vulnerable to those maladies. Moreover, are rotary lawn mowers any good? A rotary mower is always gas-powered or electrical, requiring less energy on your end, but it doesn’t cut the grass blades as cleanly or as low (under 1 inch) as a reel mower. However, a rotary mower with a sharpened blade is sufficient and very effective for most home lawns.How hard is it to use a reel mower?A push reel mower is not hard to push under the right circumstances. If you have a lawn that has more grass than weeds and you mow it every week, then you’ll have an easy time with a reel mower, and it will be easy to push. Compared to other mowers, reel mowers are lightweights. A non-self propelled gas mower is heavy.
