American Lawn Mower Company 1204-14 14-Inch 4-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower, Red

This mower took down 3 foot tall weeds, natural grasses, clover and grass that was over 5 inches tall. It was also soggy out since it never stops raining here during summer. I always wait for dry spells but sometimes have to mow in less than ideal conditions. This little mower keeps up and performs better than promised. I use a paint brush to clean damp grass off the blades, dry the whole thing, add grease and that's all the maintenance it needs until it's time to sharpen the blades. My gas mower gets choked out by the lawn when the turf is wet and I'd rather use muscle occasionally than keep ruining motors. I consider the hard work as a workout and skip the gym after a mow. Great product and me and the kids assembled it in under 5 minutes. Do it!

Works great so far. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on my lawn, with many saying it works just as good or better than an electric/gas lawn mower. Works on tall grass with a bit of effort and a couple of passes, but as long as you mow more frequently, it’s super easy and quick. You will also need to be careful of mowing over small branches and twigs, as the mower will stop, but once they are removed, the process goes back to being smooth. So far the blades are still sharp and provide a nice low cut. Very happy with this purchase.

Love this thing. It has been used for weeks on the dangerous parts of a very large yard and works great at evening up the parts where the large deck mower has a hard time due to the shape of the ground. It is super easy to assemble, fairly easy to push (I often use one hand due to a wrist injury), easy to clean, easy to store and does a really nice short cut.Doesn't like really tall grass or sticks of any diameter. Would be nice if it had a mechanism to unlock the blade height for when debris jams in the blade housing so I don't have to stick whatever tool is handy in there.

Well first of all I am 72 years old and 112 lbs and to live alone with my four dogs. This lawn mower is so nice and I can push it with just one hand! It glides through the grass like butter and I wish I had bought it years ago. But I have it now and in fact I just got through cutting my grass and It looks beautiful. I actually don't mind cutting the grass even in 80° heat. The other one I had has a catcher for the grass but as you cut I would have to stop, turn around, tilt the mower and walk back in order for it to throw the clippings out Because as the clipping collected it got harder to push. Grass clippings are great for your yard. This lawn mower has a small catcher and it does collect grass but nowhere near like the other one I have. The clippings just fly over and onto your grass and now and then I do have to turn around and let the clippings that have been collected back into my yard. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with this mower! I did have difficulty putting it together though. Getting that handle around those bolts is a b!tch. I had to turn the mower on its side and lean against The handle pushing as hard as I could and with my free hands lift the handle and try to get it to go over the bolts. I had to stop several times because I mean that's difficult if you're not a strong person. The rest of it was a breeze. It's quiet It cuts well and I also ordered one of the handheld sharpeners for when the blade gets dull I can sharpen them. 😁 I highly recommend getting this mower If you are a single woman you can do your grass with no problem and will wonder why you ever had a man do it for you. 🤷

The lower bars have no pins to attach to the reel without using some strength to bend the bars into place.This is more of a grass trimmer than a mower and not a replacement for power mower.It’s difficult to mow without getting blades stuck with grass and even small pieces of mulch. Also cannot get into corners and fence edges because wheels and handles get in the way.It was easier to use pulling backwards with the rollers in front but will cut at higher height and also need to make multiple passes or cross hatch.Good for getting a sweaty workout and to get your steps in. What I pay for yard service is worth the price instead of DIY with this trimmer but will keep it for occasional yard maintenance without getting gas or power equipment.

LOVE THIS for our small area of grass in the back yard. This has saved me from having to haul the big mower from the garage to the back yard. It is very easy to use, and the height settings are especially appreciated. It was easy to put together, seems like it will be very useful, isn't too heavy to lift and carry into the shed, and makes my job so easy. Well worth the money!

My son put this together (my way of seeing him) for me and I have used for over a year. I let the grass dry in between cuts, and I try to keep it oiled before cutting the lawn. I'm very satisfied; plus, it's good exercise. It takes me less than an hour to cut the back lawn in the evenings (It's too hot otherwise). I highly recommend this product. My advice: go ahead and get the sharpener with your purchase. Btw I haven't had to use it yet.

I found the product to be great overall and it exceeded my expectations, especially since I had never used one before. The assembly process was very straightforward, and I appreciated the inclusion of QR code links in the manual for those who might struggle with reading comprehension; it made it easy to visually follow the assembly instructions and adjust the height, among other things. However, I did not rate it five stars because I experienced a delay of over a month for shipping, only for the product to arrive the day after it was finally shipped. I wonder if it needed to be assembled first? Despite this shipping issue, I really do think the product itself is very good.
