A reel mower is a "old school" you could say "green" evironmentally sound grass cutting push mower. Usually with 2 wheels, bearings and 4 to 5 curved blades (the reel) set in rotation to spin as you push the mower with the "T" Handle. Pro's: good for small yards that are level with little weeds, no gas and oil to buy, good for evironment. Con's: does not cut grass with different lengths well (weeds and crabgrass that sprouts up unevenly may be difficult for this mower). Does not cut up hill well do due momentum of pushing determines speed at which reel spins. The first time I heard the term "REEL", I thought they where trying to tell me It was a Real mower not a fake one lol.
I use a cal trimmer, try getting a "Reel roller" kit. I hope your talking about gas reel's, because a push just won't do it.
Many people are starting to take a step back and look at the way they cut their grass. This has seen a resurgence in the popularity of push reel mowers, with these mowers actually gaining a decent share of a market once dominated by gasoline mowers. A big part of why people are starting to use push reel mowers more these days is because of their efficiency and cleanliness. Most people don't have yards that are large enough to warrant a fume-spurting, gas guzzling mower. By getting a reel mower, you are not only saving time in maintenance, but you are also saving money on gasoline.

The cheapest in the way of push lawn mowers is the Fiskers Reel mower. They are fairly inexpensive used at garage sales but hardware stores often sell them in new condition for only $20.
