A great little reel mower!
I’m very pleased with this mower, and feel like I got really good value on this purchase. Assembled by myself in about 10 minutes. And it’s very sharp right out of the box, and easy to clean, so it should stay sharp for a good long while. Cuts grass that’s too tall for a motorized mower to get through, and a second pass mulched it well enough that there was no dead dried-out grass lying around the next day. When we keep up with mowing, our (admittedly quite small) yards only take ~20 minutes each, and because there’s no motor I can easily listen to podcasts/audiobooks/music while mowing. It’s quite lightweight and easy to maneuver, too, so it honestly barely feels like work to do the lawn. Which is good, because we are NOT lawn people. But this little mower makes our lawn look nice enough to fit into our neighborhood of people who are lawn people with minimal effort – what more can you ask for?
P.S. I’ve had 2 people comment on how well this mower works in the couple months we’ve been using it. On two separate occasions, a dog walker and a UPS delivery person stopped to tell me how surprising it was to see someone using a reel mower with grass clippings flying up around them as they mowed, and how much better it seems to work than any other reel mower they’ve seen. I agree, it does work very well, and it’s very satisfying to use.

A Reel Mower
Definitely cuts the lawn, I think, superior to many gas and electric powered mowers. It does require some strength and endurance, which is great for the health of this old gieser. You will need to mow it, having the blades cut it twice, which I expect to be the case for reel mowers. It would be best to have a flat ground. I have a lot of small erosion gullies, and mole tunnels on our ground, which do increase the time involved, and the speed that I can go. The mower does great. I cut it low, looks good. Iâve been using a reel mower for a long time. Does not require gas, does not require electricity, but does require manpower. Fantastic. I couldnât get the leaf catcher to work, not having the speed to throw the grass and leaves into it, and I did have trouble keeping it on the mower. The mower is great.

Cuts well – Pretty good workout
Alrighty – It is a push reel mower – It is powered by your legs! So no complaning now that you actually have to push it.
1. Assembly – Okay I get it the instructions stink! – But come on people there is only like 3 bolts and a Lock washer to put on. Look at the pictures it is quite straight forward.
2. Height Adjustments – The wheels will come on the highest setting and I am not sure why they decided to do this as most people that buy a reel mower want to cut their grass low. – It will not go as low as a typical putting green but it will come close. Perhaps a green that is about ready to be mowed at 0.5″ while a fresh cut putting green is closer to 0.25″. – There are three slots on the mower for the wheels to connect to. As I said it comes on the highest setting (which is the lowest hole) Think of it this way if you lower the wheels you raise the mower to you want them on the highest hole for the bolt. In order to remove the wheels, you first need to remove the green hub caps on each side to expose the Nuts. The outside nuts on the wheels are 13mm and the inside bolts at 17mm so you will need one of each to remove and re-attach. Take care not to slip off the gears inside Might fell off but was not too hard to reset and attach back on.
The Second way to change the height are the roller wheels – These some on the medium height setting. And with the wheels set to the lowest cut setting (position A in the directions) this is about 0.75″ – move the roller adjustment to the top bolt hole on the mower for the lowest setting to get the 0.5″ cut height.
3. Cut – It nice a clean like a sissor compared to the suction and rip from a standard lawn mower today. If you are trying to cut more than 30% off the blades of grass you will likely need multiple passes.
4. Ease of use – okay this is going to depend on what type of shape you are in and what you lawn is like when you start using it. The SHORTER you want the lawn the MORE OFTEN you will need to mow. Don’t complain that it is hard to get you 2″ grass to cut down to 0.5″ you are asking too much of any mower and that would be cutting off 75% of the grass (which is bad for the grass) – you should strive for 30% at most. Therefore if you desire a 0.5″ cut, then you should be cutting grass that is no longer than about .75″ and since grass grows about 0.1 inch a day you would need to mow it every 2-3 days – most golf courses mow their greens every day.
5. Other Thoughts – My lawn is very mature and as such has a great deal of thatch near the soil. I am going to either rent of buy a dethatcher to clean a lot of this up. I am thinking that will allow the mower to cut lower with more ease. I will update my results on the review.
Over all – It is what you are paying for – it is a manual drive reel mower that you push. The more out of shape you are and your lawn is the more work it is going to be. Once you get the lawn trained to grow low it will get easier. I have a section of lawn that I cut at the lowest setting on the traditional mower and that section this reel mower cut very well.
Look for an update in a few weeks when I will add some Picts and video how to’s.

Works well in small areas
I purchased the 16-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower for a small area near my driveway culvert that I couldn’t get to with my riding mower and was too large of an area for a trimmer. It was easy to put together, is lightweight and easy to maneuver. It cut the grass evenly and worked on hilly terrain which was important. You may have to hit tall grass a few times occasionally but no issues.

Moderate
In the beginning when we purchase it worked so good. But after 3 months we went out of station and grass gettin very long and we try to cut that this was not worked to cut long weed.

Happy with this purchase
No gas, no noise, and no not being able to start. I have a small yard and this is so easy for an old lady to pull out and get the job done. Does not work on greater than approximately five inches.

Great product
Itâs light enough to maneuver but effective. Made very well

Crummy product
This mower is very disappointing. It jumps up and down as you are pushing it. This creates a very bumpy uneven cut. You have to go back over almost everything you just cut. I thought it was me and that I was doing something wrong but I had my adult son cut the grass and he got the same results. My neighbor bought one about half the price of mine and it cuts noticeably better than this one. I tried his and it pushed smoother and is easier to use. This is a very disappointing product.

It’s a dream to cut with this mower
Kev –
I love it.
it’s light.
it took about 5 mins to assemble (not joking).
It cuts great.
makes it fun to mow the lawn in my opinion.
some of my neighbors may even get one themselves after seeing me mow the lawn with it.
no gas budget required.
no annoying wires that get in your way.
I lift that up with one hand and I am not strong.
and it just works.

Bought this mower 2 months ago. I’ve been using it weekly since on the front and backyard lawn.
It cuts easily through the grass. My lawn was somewhat overgrown the first time (about 4 inches of grass), and that took a few times through the same spot to get it cut evenly down to the length i wanted. The mower is easy to use, easy to clean, and makes mowing fun. Unfortunately, one of the plastic cover for the screw that holds the roller assembly broke a few weeks in which is why I’m rating this a 3-star. Otherwise a great tool for the lawn.

C’est surprenant ! Mon fils de 8 ans a fait le gazon, ca coupe très bien , se manoeuvre facilement et ca prend peu d’espace de rangement. Par contre sur un gazon très long câest difficile, il faut repasser souvent mais si on entretien chaque semaine c’est juste parfait. Je ne regrette aucunement mon achat!

It was easy to assemble and and easy to use equipment. It is not exactly light weight so will be a good workout. I don’t have a massive lawn so this is fine for me. It also cuts reasonably well, though like what some others have experienced it tends to push grass and weeds down at times instead of cutting it, at times.
