GREEN" LAWNMOWER IS HOT

(HIT) - Mantis, the company that makes the world’s most popular mini-tiller, has another hit on its hands. The new Mantis Cordless Reel Mower, introduced earlier this year, is selling like proverbial hotcakes. The Mantis Reel Mower is powered by a 24-volt rechargeable NiCad battery that packs enough power to mow up to 2,500 square feet of lawn on one charge. Its environmentally friendly "green" electric motor starts instantly and runs so quietly that the neighbors might not even know its running. Weighing only 25 pounds, the Mantis Cordless Reel Mower is light enough to easily maneuver in even hard-to-get-to spots on your lawn. "We’re delighted with the response to our new Mantis Cordless Reel Mower," said Steve LePera, marketing manager for Mantis. "Now homeowners with small to mid-size lawns can replace their noisy, polluting lawnmowers with something that’s quiet, eco-friendly and does a great job of cutting the lawn." The Mantis Cordless Reel Mower is available directly from Mantis (1-800-366-6268, www.mantis.com) for $379, which includes a free grass catcher and free shipping.
