manual mower

Blade cylinder pusher

A manual mower is a lawn mower powered by human effort rather than an engine or motor.

The classic type is the reel mower, where pushing the mower turns cylindrical blades that scissor against a fixed bar: The manual mower is quieter than the gas-powered one.

Manual mowers suit small lawns and appeal to those avoiding fuel costs and emissions.
