Amazon.com Review
The value of a grass catcher is undeniable. If you don't want cut grass strewn across your lawn, you need to either rake after mowing or get a grass catcher. If you've decided a grass catcher is more of a necessity than an alternative, the question becomes what kind to get. One quality to look for is durability, because, let's face it, the grass catcher has a hard row to hoe, getting dragged over all sorts of terrain while wet grass and dirt are spewed into its basket. Another essential quality is rot resistance, because wet grass can cause some damage to frail fabric. This grass catcher sports a durable plastic bottom, polyester rot-resistant fabric, and a heavy-duty wire frame. In addition, it folds up compactly for easy storage. Though some assembly is required, it's neither difficult nor complicated.

 Surprised and Pleased June 29, 2010

I was very hesitant to purchase this grass catcher, given previous reviews, but I couldn't find another grass catcher that would work with my Scotts 20" reel mower. Not expecting much, I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble. All I had to do was squeeze four hooks into loops with a pair or pliers. To attach to my mower, all I had to do was clip it onto the axle of the back stabilizer wheels. I'm thinking that maybe the American Lawn Mower company made updates on the grass catcher, but mine had a plastic/rubber clip running along the bottom that attaches to the axle, and the hook to put onto the bar of the handles. Nothing to it.
For the actual mowing, my nine year old son was even able to push the mower with the bag hitting his legs or getting in his way. Yes, we moved the bag to the left, as noted in previous reviews, and yes, it's true that it doesn't catch every scrap of grass, but our needs are to gather MOST of the grass so it doesn't get weighed down with clippings.
Emptying the catcher is slightly awkward, as we ended up scooping with our hands, but you can easily detach the catcher and empty into a bag.
Overall, this grass catcher rated WAY higher than I ever anticipated, and works much better and with fewer issues than I thought.
 Works well with Scott's Mower June 27, 2010

The grass catcher works well with the Scott's Reel Mower. It's easy to attach, detach and empty. It would be nice to have a little better instructions on assembly, but it was easy to put together. If you're buying a reel mower, I would recommend this product.
 Doesn't even work on an American Lawn Mower June 3, 2010

I thought all the complaints where because people where trying to use the American Lawn Mower catcher on some other brand of push mower. So I purchased an American Lawn Mower push mower and this catcher to go with it.
I'm sorry to say it's still a lousy fit. This catcher popped off 4 times in 6 minutes. Every 1.5 minutes I have to bend over and re-attach the catcher. You'd think if it was the same brand they would design it to fit better. Well no.
Not sure what brand to recommend, seems like most people use push mowers without catchers.
Works well May 16, 2010

It's easy to use and works well, but it's easier to mow more often and not use it at all. I would recommend it to whoever buys the Reel Mower.

It worked great the first few times I used it. but through trial and error you cannot store it standing up, us must let it stay flat because once the bottom develops a bend in it(cardboard part) the grass just flows back out. so lay it flat or hang it up.
