It’s mowing season again! With the ever-increasing gas prices, I know many of you are looking for a less-expensive alternative to the traditional gas-powered lawn mowers. A reel mower has always been popular with the eco-friendly crowd, but now it’s quickly catching on with the budget-conscious folks as well. And did I mention that mowing grass using a reel mower is a great form of exercise?!
Below, I’ve compiled a list of the best-selling AND highest-rated reel lawn mowers on Amazon.com. I do a ton of shopping on Amazon, and what I like about it is the ability for me to quickly gauge how popular a reel mower is (by the number of reviews) and whether it’s a good mower (by how many stars it receives). And who can forget the free shipping?!
So, if you’re in the market for a new push reel mower that will get the job done, look no further. Read the brief overviews and check out the hundreds of reel mower reviews by actual consumers (just click on the links).

8 Best Reel Mowers
Scotts Outdoor Power Tools 2000-20 Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower, 20-Inch, Green
Scotts push reel lawn mower is by far the winner. With over 1500+ reviews, it’s the most popular and best selling reel mower on Amazon. With that many buyers, you really can’t go wrong. Scotts reel mower has a 20″ cutting deck (widest in its class) and 1″-3″ adjustable mowing height.
Fiskars’ Momentum reel mower received Popular Mechanics 2010 Green Design Award. This is also the highest-rated reel mower on Amazon. It has patent-pending technology that makes it 40% easier to push than other reel mowers. And standing behind the quality of its mower, Fiskars reel mower has a 4-year warranty, unlike the industry standard of 2 years. While the initial cost is almost twice that of Scotts, you’ll be saving in the long run because you won’t have to deal with the inconvenience and cost of annual mower blade sharpening or replacement of other reel mowers. For more information, you can check out my comprehensive review of the Fiskars 6201.
American Lawn Mower Company 1415-16 16-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower, Grey
Made in the USA, the American Lawn Mower-line of reel mowers definitely provide good value for the money. This particular model has a 16-inch cutting swatch and height adjustments of 1/2″ to 2-1/2″.
American Lawn Mower 1204-14 14-Inch 4-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower (Renewed)
The American Lawn Mower 1204 is the cheapest reel mower on this list. It’s got a 14″ cutting swath, but only a 90-day limited warranty. But if you have a very small yard, this may be all you need.
Great States 815-18 18-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower, Grey
$110.69
2 used from $105.16
The 2nd best-selling 18-inch reel mower, Great States’ push reel lawn mower has a powder-coated finished handle that lasts longer and prevents rust. Its cutting height can be adjusted from 1/2-inch to 2-3/4-inches.
American Lawn Mower 18" Deluxe Reel Mower
$157.25
For those who want the Scotts brand, but feel a 20-inch cutting deck is just a bit too wide, then Scotts’ 815-18S reel mower is for you. It has an 18″ cutting width and 1/2- to 2-3/4-inch cutting height range.
Gilmour RM30 20-Inch Reel Mower with Grass Catcher
The Gilmour reel mower is the only reel mower on this list that comes with a grass catcher. Its wide 20″ mowing width (like Scotts) and up to 3″ cutting height make this a very popular alternative to other reel mowers.
American Lawn Mower Company 1815-18 815-18 Reel Lawn Mower, 18-Inch, 5-Blade, Black (Renewed)
This is the 18-inch cutting width version in the American Lawn Mower’s line of reel mowers. Do you want to buy a Made-in-America? American Lawn Mower is it.
