I have found the same with my corded electric walk-behind mower 
(rotary blade).  I am convinced that this is a form of plant 
intelligence - the dandelions duck.  The grass is trimmed neatly, 
but the dandelions often appear untouched.  I will have to see how 
things go once I am using the reel mower this year.
