Reel mowers from Scotts are a popular choice for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance and eco-friendly way to cut their lawn. The Scotts Classic Reel Mower is a great option for small to medium-sized lawns, weighing in at just 34 pounds.
Scotts offers a range of reel mower models, each with its own unique features and benefits. The Scotts 2000-20 Reel Mower, for example, has a 20-inch cutting width and is designed for larger lawns.
When choosing a reel mower from Scotts, consider the size of your lawn and the amount of maintenance you're willing to do. A larger mower may be necessary for bigger lawns, but it will also require more storage space.
Scotts reel mowers are known for their durability and long-lasting performance, with some models featuring a 5-year warranty.

Comparison and Alternatives
If you can't get the Scotts model for whatever reason, consider the Fiskars 18-Inch StaySharp Max Reel Mower as a good alternative. It has a higher cutting capacity, but it's notably heavier than the Scotts mower.
On a similar theme: Scotts Classic Push Mower
The Fiskars mower has a smooth rolling push, making it the "easiest to push" according to the lawn crew at the Diamond Hawk Golf Course. However, it sometimes chokes on grass when set at lower heights.
You can change the height of the Fiskars mower with a single lever, and it can adjust between 1 inch and 4 inches, the largest range of any mower we looked at. This feature is convenient for adjusting to different types of grass.
One of our testers found that the Fiskars mower might not be the best choice for a small lawn, as it glides along well once up to speed but requires turning around at the end of the lawn. This is something to consider if you have a tiny patch of grass.
The Fiskars marketing suggests that the StaySharp system prevents the blades from ever touching, but in reality, they will still dull eventually from cutting grass or hitting branches and other obstacles.
