A reel mower? Are you considering a hand push mower? It is a lot of WORK even with a small amount of grass. Also, a reel mower, look at the space beweeen the wheel and the cutting blade. It will not cut close to a wall. With a small lawn you will be happier with a rechargeable
mower. If, you've read that a reel mower gives you a more sizzor like cut, that is true. Getting one sharpened and properly set up is expensive. There are gas powered reel mowers. They are still made. They are expensive.
