Rotary or Cylinder?

The cutting action of a cylinder mower is rather like that of a pair of scissors. The cylinder rotates against a fixed blade and as the grass is trapped between the two blades it is sliced off cleanly. A rotary mower has a blade that rotates on a horizontal plane. The blade has sharp edges at each end and acts like a scythe to mow the grass.

Because of the different cutting action Cylinder Mowers achieve a better quality of cut, although a good Rotary Mower will still achieve a good finish.

Some cylinder mowers allow the cylinder to be removed and replaced by a lawn rake Better on long grass as there is no front roller

Hover mowers

Hover mowers are rotary mowers that hover on a cushion of air which gives them high manoeuvrability. Electric and 2-stroke powered hover mowers are useful for mowing grass banks.
