Choosing between a gas mower and a push reel for my small yard in Tacoma

I had to pick between a gas mower and an old school push reel mower for my 500 square foot yard. I went with the reel mower last spring, mostly to cut down on noise and fumes. It took a bit more effort, but my power bill dropped by about $15 a month since I stopped filling the gas can. Anyone else switch to a manual tool and find it wasn't as hard as you thought?

Used to think reel mowers were a hassle, but the quiet and savings totally won me over.

Honestly thought it would be a huge pain, but the quiet and the workout are kind of nice.

The quiet is nice but the workout part sounds like a chore to me.
