Mantis Cordless Reel Mower Tips

Get the perfect cut and a healthier lawn

Reel Mower

Reel mowers yield a superior cut, and promote the health of your lawn.  The scissor-like cutting of the reel mower blades cut the grass blades cleanly and gently, with the least disturbance to the grass plant’s natural pattern of growth. 

Reel mowers help the grass form a healthy growth network which is inherent to the lawn’s ability to retain moisture and to crowd out weeds. 


Here are some reel mowing tips to help you achieve a lush, manicured lawn:
> Mow your lawn once a week.  When you mow your lawn frequently, the short roots of the grass grow, making your lawn more resistant.
> Always mow your lawn when it is relatively dry.
> Cut the lawn in ‘lanes’ for a clean cut; overlap lanes slightly during each pass
> Mow early. This is the fun advantages of having a reel mower. You can get up early and begin mowing in those first cool hours of the day – and you won’t wake your neighbors!  You can actually hear the birds chirping!  Enjoy yourself and your Mantis Cordless Reel Mower.


Use this handy guide for choosing a cutting height for your grass.

Grass Type Cut Length
Kentucky Bluegrass 1 1/2" to 2 1/2"
Rye grass 1 1/2" to 2 1/2"
Fescue 1 1/2" to 2 1/2"
Tall Fescue 1 1/2" to 3"
St. Augustine 1" to 3"
Bentgrass 1/4" to 3/4"
Centipede grass 1" to 2"
Buffalo grass 2 to 3 inches, or leave it completely unmowed
