I don't know how powered reel mowers perform, but the push type are unforgiving if you let the grass get even a little too tall. Even then, it tends to look like a bad haircut.

Push mowers can be had for free, or next to nothing. Heck, if you lived by me I'd give you mine that was purchased new for something like $100. It's a hunk of junk, but at least it starts every time without much effort.

Probably some deals on used riding mowers, especially the ones with gears rather than hydrostatic drive. Another nice thing is you can hook a trailer up and haul around yard debris, mulch, etc.
