Comparison of rotary and reel mower.
The basis of every beautiful lawn is quality mowing. Unlike rotary mowers, reel mowers cut the lawn like scissors. Thanks to the precise cut, the lawn is dense, healthy, always green and less water evaporates from it.

Testimonials
I am a happy owner of Edwin 2.1. I love the mower and have nothing but positive things to say about it. I have a 5-blade reel, 10-blade reel and a verticutter cartridge. It is great that each cartridge performs differently and does all the things it is designed to do. My lawn is synthetic turf according to people who have reported me to the home owners association for having a fake lawn… They do not believe that here in Texas when it is 100 degrees or more for weeks that the lawn can look this good. But with a Swardman mower it can. Thank you Swardman for such great products and a wonderful customer service!

My experience with the mower has been mostly positive. The packaging and care of the Swardman is similar to opening up an Apple product. My expectations for this mower were extremely high. The fact that my expectations were met is a true testament to the quality of craftsmanship in this machine. My first true use of the mower was to use the rotary brush cartridge to clean and stripe my Dad’s artificial turf. It handled this job flawlessly. The turf looks brand new and when I went to using the grass catcher, the brush was able to pick up anything that was put in its path. By the way, it is very easy to replace the cartridges. I then used the mower with the 6 blade reel to take my lawn down to .25” HOC. My lawn is not yet completely leveled but the front and rear rollers made mowing the uneven spots pretty easy. The mower is so easy to manipulate that I didn’t notice how full the catcher was getting. Once I finally emptied it, it was probably around 40 lbs of material that was removed from the lawn. This machine is beautiful. The paint and design of the mower itself is a sight to behold.

I have bought a Swardman Edwin with a 55 cm cutting width to deal with 1600 sqm of Agrostis stolonifera perennial grass from the Poaceae family which my father in law and I have seeded in our gardens. There are two things that impress me about this mower. The first one is the very high quality: every single component looks like having been designed to last and to be nice looking. I love the possibility of converting the mower into a scarifier or a verticutter in one minute. The second one is its quietness; I used to own other mowers, both rotary and cylindric, and none of them was close enough to be as quite as this one. You are not going to worry anymore about bothering your neighbours. Swardman is overall an outstanding product. I’m very happy to have purchased it!

I’ve only had the Swardman Edwin 2.0 with 22-inch cutting width for a few months now and haven’t had a chance to use my verticutter attachment yet. So far, I love it! I mow at ¾” and it cuts great both on my leveled back lawn and sloped front lawn. It is easy to set the blade to bed knife. Thanks to the mower’s design it is also easy to change out parts when needed. What more could you ask for in a mower?

I can really tell it is a pleasure to use the Swardman Edwin on my lawn. Having a busy and stressful job, mowing the lawn and creating striped patterns, is actually a good meditation and stress relief. Actually the joy is even doubled… since the reward comes with the view. Our family has never spent more time in the garden than last summer. And besides the good weather, the look of the garden and lawn had not to be underestimated.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover the Swardman's Edwin cylinder mower. It is very well designed, made of metal parts and equipped with a reliable and quiet Kawasaki motor. It is a pleasure to mow with it and with its interchangeable cartridges it allows you to do a complete maintenance of your lawn without needing any other machines.

How to choose the right reel for your lawn
Just like in life, the saying “Less is more” is more than valid for choosing the reel for your lawn. It is not always true that more blades will be a better fit for your lawn and mowing style. It is dependent on multiple factors, such as mowing intensity and quality or thickness of the mowed lawn.
