I don't want to spend much on a lawn mower as my yard isn't large. I did however want to start cutting it myself.

Would a Reel Lawn mower work or should I get a push mower. I just don't like dealing with gas but also never tried electric either.

Just a 1/2 acre lot. Weird backyard with a slope that doesnt need much cutting.

1/2 acre is a decent size neighborhood lot.

Electric is probably the best option if you don’t like dealing with gas. Recommend at least two batteries.

A reel mower requires a little bit of maintenance and to me is more of a specialty thing. They can be cheap and easy, but for a 1/2 acre lot and just your normal cuts, I’d go with a rotary mower.

I love my EGO brushless push mower. $600 when it was on sale. 7.5 Ah battery I believe, gives around an hour of runtime if youre not going yhrough super dense grass. Ryobi makes decent mowers but 1/2 acre might push it. Their whole lineup of lawncare tools are great. They make a multi-head system that you can purchase a weed wacker/edger/polsaw attachment to do all the jobs.

If you go gas, any Toro or Honda mower will work.

Electric is becoming the new norm, especially since you can change out batteries to power your other tools as I mentioned above.
