reel mower

Spinny grass cutter

A reel mower is a lawn mower with a cylindrical blade assembly that spins vertically, scissoring grass against a stationary bar.

Unlike rotary mowers that chop with a horizontal blade, reel mowers cut cleanly and are favored for fine lawns.

Traditional push reel mowers are unpowered; larger versions may be gas or electric: The groundskeeper used a reel mower on the golf green.
