    • Abstract:
      The article presents information related to lawn mowers. Compared with cars, gasoline-powered lawn mowers produce a disproportionate amount of air pollution. Manual-reel mowers turns a series of curved blades that spin with the wheels. Reel mowers are quiet, inexpensive, and nonpolluting. They're also relatively safe to operate and require little maintenance other than periodic blade adjustment and sharpening. Electric mowers use an electric motor to drive a rotating blade. Both corded and cordless versions start with the push of a button. They produce no exhaust emissions, and, like reel mowers, require little maintenance aside from sharpening.
