I just cut my lawn with a reel mower for the first time. That's 1/3 acre. I can't say how long it took since I spent a lot of time tinkering with the thing trying to get it adjusted. Also since we are in the middle of a small drought today's experience isn't telling of what it will be like after some good soaking rain and then steady mellow sun. I have to agree with everything previously said on the pros/cons of reel mowers. It didn't chop down the 12" + weeds which is a shame because it's what my yard is mainly comprised of.
Nice gadget. Personally I don't think I'd keep it but my wife says she will cut the lawn and wants to use it. That's fine with me. I have cut more lawn than any 20 or 30 people have in their entire lives and I'm ready to hang up my spurs.
