New Momentum® Reel Mower delivers twice the cutting power with a third less effort.
Reel mowers are slicing an ever-wider swath in the lawn mower market as smart consumers learn about their many benefits. Most already know that reel mowers are better for their health, their budget, and the environment. Many are surprised to hear that reel mowers are also better for their lawn, minimizing moisture loss and disease with their clean scissors-like cut.
While reel mowers tout many benefits, they also have limitations. They are infamous for being beasts to push, and owners curse them for bogging down in tall grass and clogging on small twigs. Their low maximum cut height makes them useless in longer grass, and the blades seem to forever need sharpening. But no more – thanks to Fiskars’ introduction of an innovative machine that mows down the drawbacks of traditional reel mowers. The Momentum® Reel Mower combines patent-pending technologies and Fiskars expertise in ergonomics to dramatically improve ease-of-use and cutting performance.
InertiaDrive™ Technology: A large diameter cutting reel and heavy blades store energy much like a flywheel, so the Momentum® delivers twice the power to cut through small twigs, weeds or dense grass that clog other reel mowers. The mower also requires 30 percent less push force than standard reel mowers when cutting long grass.
StaySharp™ Cutting System: Precision engineering allows grass to be cut without the blades touching – greatly reducing friction & blade wear. By eliminating the steel-on-steel contact that dulls standard reel mowers, peak performance can be maintained without annual sharpening.
VersaCut™ Design: The Momentum® delivers the greatest cut range of any reel mower with cut height settings ranging from one to four inches. In addition, it edges three times closer than other reel mowers, and never leaves uncut strips under the wheels.
Fiskars Ergonomics: The Momentum® incorporates a number of best in class convenience features to enhance the mowing experience - including an ergonomic height adjustable handle with a padded grip, a quick and easy one-touch cut height adjustment system, and a grass discharge chute that directs messy clippings forward, away from the user’s feet.
The Momentum® comes with a 4-year warranty – the longest available for any reel mower on the market.
