I love the simplicity and cost effectiveness of reel style push powered mowers. It just makes sense, you get a workout, use no fossil fuels, and don't have to wake the neighbors. One of the drawbacks is when you hit a thick patch of grass and have to attack it 3 times to make it through, too much working out for me. The Fiskars Momentum Reel Mower solves the problem with their InertiaDrive Technology which stores energy with a type of flywheel.
- 2X More Cutting Power: Delivers twice the energy to power through small twigs, weeds, or dense grass that would jam other reel mowers.
- 30% Easier to Push: Advanced technologies reduce cutting system friction, provide optimal blade positioning and deliver extra cutting power to reduce push force by 30% in long grass.
