Editorial Review

Amazon.com Product Description: The business end of this hand pushed reel mower is solid, sharp, and easy to use, with five heat-treated, knife-sharp tempered alloy steel blades that can be adjusted for varying grass heights from 1/2 to 2-1/4 inches. With its 10-inch wheels, radial tires, 18-inch cutting width, and 2-inch welded shrub bar, this mower should enable you to cross whatever terrain and reach whatever hard-to-access rogue patches of grass you desire. Plus, the soft foam cushion on the handlebar is a nice -- and much appreciated -- touch. However, assembly can be a headache, even though the only tool you need is a wrench. The instructions could be clearer, and the handle parts could fit together better. This product is backed by a limited 2-year warranty.

AHHHH the joy of mowing the lawn

by LShack 2004-08-07, 21 people found this review helpful

I am so happy with this lawn mower. I just stroll around the lawn with ease. As a household of three women, my two daughters & myself we always argue as to who's turn it is to mow the lawn. Now I don't mind doing it. It's quiet, relaxing and most of all easy to push, and I don't have to start it or add gas! It was also easy to put together & coming from someone who can just about hang a picture that is saying something. This mower is great. It's funny my neighbor laughed & said wow I haven't seen one of those in years. Well he'll see it every weekend & it won't wake up the neighbors. It's great.

I just love this little guy

This is the 2nd lawnmower of this type I have owned. The first one which is 3 years old still works but I bought a second just to have in case I need it. I have 1/3 an acre and I still use the reel power more often than a gas powered which I also have. This reel mower is quiet, very easy to push and it will cut very well if you put WD on it after every mow. Like other reviewers have said, this mower is not fond of branches and once in a while one will get stuck in the blades but simply back up and the twig leaves. The cut is never as clean as with a power mower but it is certainly acceptable and I cut the grass often because I enjoy it. I also do it at 6am and do not wake any of the neighbors. By the way, I am an older woman and disabled so for me, this mower is much better than a gas powered where the handle is so hard to pull. This mower is also easier to turn than a gas mower. Hey, I just might buy a third.

Lawn mowing can be fun

I bought my mower a few weeks ago and have used it a couple times on my 1/2 acre lawn. It cuts beautifully, and nearly as quickly as my old gas powered mower. I have enjoyed being able to hear the birds and enjoy the fresh air while I mow. The mowing is a little bit more of a workout than pushing a small gas mower, but anyone who can walk should be able to push it easily. A couple of caveats though, the mower does not cut wet grass well, but I have had good experience cutting grass up to 6" long when it's dry. Also, it requires a clean lawn, even the tiniest twig will stop the blades, but the sticks are easily removed from the blades. The Amazon reviewer thought it was difficult to assemble. While I agree it could be easier, I was not frustrated and had the mower assembled in less than 15 minutes -- and I'm no genious at assembling products. Also, height adjustments could be simpler, it takes 5-10 minutes to readjust the height with a couple of wrenches. Overall, I'm very pleased with the mower -- I now view mowing the lawn as pleasant recreation rather than slavish noisy work!
