This Push Reel Mower is managing the grass/weeds and rocks in our African house very well.  Arrived extremely sharp, not too hard to push, and back wheel gives it a bit more traction.  Heavy duty and nothing is bent yet.  will continue to monitor and change review if all collapses (like all the rest of the push mowers I have bought for the yard.)  Having a gas powered mower would be a nightmare unless you spent a lot of money (which I don't have) as the blades would bend in a minute.  Much better to have steel and use a bit more muscle.  Of course the tall weeds don't cut as well, but it is pretty good and definitely good for the money.
