Reel mowers aren't worth the hassle. They don't do a good job cutting, don't mulch, and take too long. That said, you can often find them free, and they are satisfying to use the first time.
I'm considering artificial turf for the front lawn since it's so small and useless for recreation.
I've never used a corded electric, but I could see these being ok for small lawns. Battery makes no sense to me considering the initial cost and cost for replacement batteries.
I bought the cheapest push mower I could find 10 years ago, do nothing to maintain it, store it outside in the rain, and it always starts with fresh fuel. I'll top off the oil maybe once per year, or when I forget and it runs out, momentarily seizing the engine. It always runs again after adding oil.
