I have a gas powered reel(Toro Sportslawn from the 70s) and a push reel. I like them both. But the push reel is more relaxing since it is quiet and makes that nice whir whir sound.

Both require a shorter lawn and you can't go more than 5 days (in the spring) without mowing. But they give the best and cleanest looking cut. The scissor action of a reel mower is far superior to the lopping off that the rotary mowers do.

if you've got a small lawn, just get a push. If you have a lot of area search craigslist for a Toro Sportslawn or go to a good mower shop.
