The blades are arranged on a cylinder and cut with a scissor-like action. This produces a very fine cut, a striped finish and allows very low cutting heights.
A rotary mower is suitable for most ornamental lawns. This mower has a horizontally spinning blade. A rotary mower will not give as fine a cut as a cylinder mower, but it will cut longer grass and handle uneven surfaces much better than a cylinder mower.
Ones with a rear roller are available that will give a striped finish. A hover mower is a rotary mower, but sits on a cushion of air instead of wheels. It too is able to handle long grass and uneven surfaces. Self-propelled versions are not offered. A mulching mower is a type of rotary mower.
