Description

What sets the Helix mower apart from other leading reel mowers? The Helix was designed with versatility in mind. We want to provide our customers with a great user experience. The Helix is light, but durable. It is rugged but sleek. The cutting system is precise and whisper quiet - no grinding or shearing, no metal on metal contact. Why is it called the Helix? Reel-style mowers have what can be called "Helical" blades. Kinda like a strand of DNA which forms a "Double Helix". The Helix has 5 blades, so one might call it the "Quintuple" Helix. We thought Helix was an appropriate name that is also fun to say! Is the cutting height adjustable? Yes. Whereas most reel mowers max out at 2"-2.5", The Helix cutting height has been extended to 3.5". Keep in mind that reel mowers cut best at about 2.5", but the higher cutting height is great for re-taming the lawn after a vacation.

The Helix EcoMower® is the result of EcoMowers’ wealth of experience in the environmental lawnmower market – selling, using, and servicing virtually all makes of push reel mowers. Owner Andy Humphrey found the opportunity to combine the best of all possible worlds. “We saw what was being offered, and quickly began to design the mower that we would rather see, while eliminating the common complaint issues of other reel mowers,” says Humphrey. "We have created a lightweight, yet strong and maneuverable reel mower that doesn't require sharpening and has a taller cutting height." The result is the Helix EcoMower® : a rugged, sharpenless reel mower featuring a new spiral-linear “Helix” blade system with several unique technological innovations: EverSharp™ Cutting Technology EasyTune™ Adjustment Posts TruSpin™ Blade Supports ErgoGrip™ Performance Handle ...and a top mounted handle for easy transporting and storage!.

Remember the old-fashioned, heavy, manual push mowers which once revolutionzed the consumer lawn care industry at the turn of the 20th century (1900 to 1940s). There were dozens of these reel mowers manufactures before World War II, and many reel mowers were used by women. Like housework, women did much of the mowing at that time. More recently, the reel-style push mowers have become nearly extinct, and for good reason; they were heavy, difficult to push, and needed constant sharpening. It was not an enjoyable outdoor experience. The term "Ecomower" was introduced in 2006 as the modern movement or re-revolution of the old-fashioned mowing method. Some of the mowers being manufactured today, and all of the mowers presented at EcoMowers.com are lighter, quieter, require no sharpening for 5+ years, and are really fun to use. learn more here.
