Was wondering about the quality of a push reel mower. I have a small 800ft square by my pool with empire zoysia I’m going to try and keep at 1” or so HOC.

Would this work well?

Currently using a Honda rotary

I started with a push reel. They do make electric conversion kits. Did buy a Cali Trimmer used last week. It's a game changer. Reel mower mods should be releasing their electric kits in a few weeks though. You might already have batteries for it.

You can try. I do find that it can be harder to manually reel mow zoysia since it tends be thicker. Hard to get the mower through easily.

A 7 blade earthwise would work well. I have a 5 blade as well and the difference is night and day.

That’s exactly my setup, small area around the pool sodded w zoysia. Currently using a manual reel mower that works well but you have to keep blades sharp. I do plan to upgrade to a California trimmer or something similar but the push reel mower is getting me by for now.
