Unique things are worth a look. That’s why I’ve decided to review the Mantis 811103 Electric Reel Mower. It’s unique because this is the first Electric Reel Mower I’ve seen. A reel mower as opposed to a regular lawn mower uses a reel of blades to cut crass as opposed to two arm blades. Once again, I like variety and the Mantis Reel Mower 811103 definitely adds to the range of lawn mower options out there.
As always, let’s start out with the good. The Mantis Reel Mower 811103 doesn’t pollute, or so the manufacturer claims. Honestly, everything pollutes, even that hippie food you buy at Whole Foods. I tried the buffet by the pound thing the other day, mediocre stuff man. Anyway, for you tree huggers, you won’t put anymore pollutants in to the air by burning gas, you’ll charge a battery and the power plant that supplies you will put the carbon in the air for you. Ahh, shifting the burden on to others, an American tradition.
Another cool thing is the padded handle. Right now my lawn mower handele isn’t padded. It could be, if I got some Styrofoam and tape, but I’m too lazy for that. Fortunately for those lucky few who buy the Mantis Reel Mower 811103 you won’t have to worry about being motivated enough to pad your lawn mower handle because it’s all built in! Woo hoo for laziness.
Oh, and like all good lawn mowers the Mantis Reel Mower 811103 can adjust it’s height so you can get your grass looking just the way you want it. Ya know, there are actually rules for how tall your grass should be cut, I’ll post them. Well, not so much rules as laws of nature and when you follow them your grass will look better. Oh, and don’t cut more than twice a week. Every ten days is good for decent St. Augustine by the way.
Overall, this is a decent lawn mower and great if you like the reel type lawn mower. You’re going to notice your grass looks different after mowing with a reel mower as opposed to a more traditional two blade system. If you don’t like change, go with another electric or gas powered lawn mower. However, if you’re just looking to cut a medium to small sized lawn and get it over with, there is no compelling reason to buy the Mantis Reel Mower 811103. In fact, look for a better deal.
