pushmowers
Unpowered grass trimmers
Pushmowers are lawn mowers powered by human effort rather than an engine—you push them forward, and the wheels turn a cylindrical blade that cuts the grass.
The term distinguishes these manual reel mowers from self-propelled or riding mowers: My grandfather still uses one of those old pushmowers.
Also spelled as two words: push mowers.
