 Okay mower for hard to reach areas in my large lawn September 17, 2009
Deanna Bramblett (northern Idaho)
I purchased this mower to get to the areas that my riding lawn mower couldn't. I've used it right next to the house and under trees. It does work, but if the grass is too long it just pushes it over. It also seems to get hung up easily on any little rock or uneven area. However, for what I purchased it for it works just fine for me. I didn't want a motorized one so my daughter could use it.
 Stop outsourcing to China! Part broke on second use... September 14, 2009
Eduardo (United States)
This is the piece that snapped the SECOND time I used this mower (it attaches to the roller):
[...]
Now I can't pull the mower backwards anymore without getting stuck in the ground. I am certain that this is the result of the lack of QC in Chinese manufacturing because a mower design as old as this would never have such a simple flaw.
 GREAT ECO Mower August 31, 2009
Emma Cabello (Houston)
I love this mower. It is very easy to assemble and use. My ten year old son can use the mower with no problem. Sticks do get stuck so do have to clean before or during as they get stuck. My lawn looks great.
 Cheaper to buy scissors August 21, 2009

If you are looking to miminize your carbon footprint it was be less annoying to invest in a pair of scissors. I don't mind a workout but this is a shear waste.
 Lots of fun if you know what to expect August 7, 2009
Didn't Like It (Dallas, TX USA)

I bought this mower, and have been using it for a year, and I love it. I chose a reel mower for one reason: SIMPLICITY. No gas. No spark plugs to replace. No cord to pull. No exhaust. No dust blowing everywhere. No noisy motor.
The good:
1) Quiet, inexpensive, light weight, and easy to push.
2) Small storage footprint (about 12"x20").
3) Easy to maintain. WD40 before and after each use. Adjust stationary blade 1-2 times per year (or as needed). Sharpen reel blades every 1-2 years. If you think your blades need sharpening and you've never adjusted the stationary blade, the blade just needs to be adjusted. Ditto if you took the mower out of the box and it doesn't cut properly. Adjust it!
4) Promotes good lawn-care habits (see below)
The bad:
1) This mower is designed to cut grass. It WILL get stuck on every single twig you roll over. I typically spend 1-2 minutes picking up twigs/sticks before I mow, and it still gets stuck on 5-10 unseen sticks. All you have to do is stop, back up, use your shoe to spin the blade backwards (which dislodges the stick), back up some more, pick up the stick, give it a stern talking to, and then eject said twig from your lawn.
2) In my experience, gas powered motors get a little closer to borders (fence, flower box, etc.) expect to spend a little more time with the weed trimmer if you use a reel mower.
3) This mower is designed to cut grass. It is not a gas-powered vacuum for your yard. This will not remove clippings or leaves from your yard (there is a clipping catcher bag available, I haven't used it, but I hear it doesn't really work). This is a minor annoyance, but it does promote leaving the clippings on the grass, which is good for your yard. Those bags full of grass clippings that your father used to cart off the lawn are packed full of nutrients and water, leave them on and you'll use a lot less fertilizer.
4) This mower is good for trimming any where from 1/2 inch to 6 inches off of your grass. If your yard is a forest of weeds, this mower will likely not do much damage. This promotes another good habit - cutting regularly and removing (instead of just cutting) weeds. You should only be cutting the top 1/4th of your grass; if you're cutting it in half you're damaging it.
5) I have a small patch of bermuda (fine blade) grass in my lawn. The rest is St. Augustine (coarse blade). This mower cuts the coarse bladed grass like a champ, but the finer grass usually needs 2 passes before it looks good.
