BEST LARGE REEL MOWER

SCOTTS OUTDOOR POWER TOOLS
  • Quad wheel system adds stability on uneven terrain
  • Maximum cutting height of 3 in. and one-touch adjustability make this mower easy to use on a variety of grass types
  • While having such a wide cutting width can help you get more done in less time, it requires more effect to push and control

Key Specs

  • Weight: 34 lb.
  • Number of Blades: 5
  • Cutting Width: 20 in.

This mower has highly polished ball bearings, which ensure that the reel spins quickly and smoothly through tough, thick grass. Although this mower is big, it’s intentionally designed to increase efficiency, and if you’re up to the task of pushing it around, it can be a great way to minimize the amount of extra time a push mower demands.

 

BEST MID-SIZED REEL MOWER

Scotts Outdoor Power Tools 304-14S 14-Inch 5-Blade Rush Reel Lawn Mower

SCOTTS OUTDOOR POWER TOOLS
  • Easy to store thanks to its small size
  • Assembly takes less than 10 minutes
  • With a cutting height range of only .75 in., this mower’s adjustability is limited

Key Specs

  • Weight: 18.8 lb.
  • Number of Blades: 5
  • Cutting Width: 14 in.

The 304-14S from Scotts offers the best of both worlds in terms of cutting width and ease of use. In exchange for a wider cutting width, you get increased maneuverability and don’t need to exert as much energy to use the mower. Plus, you still get a hefty set of 8.5-inch wheels, which will come in handy in early spring when your lawn is scattered with twigs and other debris from the winter.
