Product Description
Safe, lightweight and easy to push, this non-polluting Reel Lawn Mower is great for small lawns and hard-to-cut landscaping.

I chose a push mower over an electric or gas mostly because of convenience and wanting to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Keeping gas in my garage, having to take a lawn mower in for maintenance, or running a cord from the inside of my house to the outside just don’t appeal to me. I’d like my lawn and garden to be as sustainable as possible.
Because of the above, I really wanted to be able to give this mower a 5 star rating. But truth be told, after going over my lawn about 4 times with this (and in some areas even more), there are patches of grass in the middle of my yard resembling a bad mullet..I found myself using a rake to try to comb them up so I could shave them off with the mower, kind of like a clean up job after a bad shave… I don’t think it’s dull blades as the leaves on my lawn were chopped up pretty well. Maybe it’s because I let the grass get too long before using this, so I will revisit this review after trying the mower on shorter grass. I was satisfied with how easy it was to push the mower, and putting it together was quite quick too…the handle is held together with just 3 bolts and hooking the handle onto the mower itself was a snap. And I didn’t mind having to pick up twigs first but some people might.

The mower was double boxed, and a good thing, since half of the entire top was completely open and the 2nd box, containing the mower, had a large gouge. One long sheet of butcher type paper was the only protection. Amazingly, the mower parts were undamaged and it was a snap to put together. I have now tested it once, after applying WD40 to the blades, and it works like a dream for my small patio yard. I highly recommend but, guys, improve your shipping materials.

I’ve wanted to use one of these mowers since I was a little girl. I’m 55 now! This mower cuts exactly like I’d hoped it would. My son cuts our grass but I like to help. I tell him I want to cut one length which turns into 3 or 4. It’s kind of a ‘fun’ mower! Perfect for small yards.

I really like this mower. It works well with the exception of edges and weeds. It is nice and light, quiet, and easy to use. You also can get a little workout from it, but it isn’t too difficult to use.

After comparing numerous models and sizes, I decided on this one because of the great deal I received on Amazon. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It arrived in perfect condition. Assembly took about two minutes, very easy to put together. I used it that afternoon and it did a fantastic job on my lawn. I had to mow twice because the grass was very long, but it was so easy and it looks great! Now that I have been mowing regularly the lawn looks plush and beautiful. I would recommend this mower to anyone with a small lawn. No more gas cans, Yeah.
