Title: efficient and easy mower for great results
Review: I like this mower very much. It does a wonderful job cutting delicate, newly grown rye grass, and the stiffer, and more robust weeds and feskew in our side yard. The cut from this mower is significantly more even and straighter than a power mower. There is a hypnotic effect from watching the blades rotate, while tossing up grass blades, nice a quietly. It does not kick up loads of dust when rolling over bare sections, which is very nice when it's super hot out. the mower only weights about 15-20 pounds, so it's very easy to push it up hill, or down hill, or over uneven and bumpy spaces. It is easy enough to push and I don't think I could call it a "work out".This mower completely takes the "chore" out of cutting the grass. Pulling out the big mower, filling the gas tank (and GETTING gas), priming the engine, and pulling to start the super loud piston engine. All that "prep" is gone. no need to psych yourself up to mow the lawn, so you can cut your grass regularly, to keep it looking good all the time.a slight down side is that the blades are approx 2-3 inches from the outside of the wheels, so plan on using an edge trimmer if there's a wall, or a barrier adjacent to the grass.Initial assembly was simple, and occurred in 5-10 minutes max. You need not be a mechanical engineer to assemble this. Anyone will assemble this with ease, regardless of mechanical aptitude.I purchased and installed the matching catcher, that clips on to the sides and hangs from the handles. It took less than two minutes to assemble and install and works pretty well. It does not catch 100 percent of the clippings. Last evening, while cutting grass in the wind, some of the clippings blew away before landing in the catcher.The range of adjustability of blade height is also quite nice. You have three holes in the mower, to raise or lower the cutting height, and three other positions in the plastic fitting to raise or lower the cutting height for a good incremental range of height. You must use a wrench to unscrew the nut to position the bolt in the correct spot. It is not a quick lever adjustment like on many power mowers. But this thing costs less that 100 dollars. Despite this lack of quick adjustment, it's still a fabulous mower, and a great value that provides a great result.I am very surprised that these manual, or "reel" mowers are not more popular, or mainstream.If I had a very large yard, I'd go for a larger 18-20-24 inch version, and still get the job done, quickly, quietly, and efficiently.

Title: It mows as advertised
Review: I haven't had a mower of any kind in years, and I have had a couple like this -- push reel mowers -- in the distant past. This thing does work. Blades are sharp, and it is reasonably easy to push. It cuts.It won't cut down foot-high (or 6-inch-high) grass. You need to get the overgrown parts in shape before and after you use this push mower. I used a scissors-style hedge trimmer to deal with the stragglers -- this mower bends but doesn't cut them. It's not supposed to.If you keep up with the lawn and mow weekly, this machine is perfect. It's quiet, needs no power (other than your own "push" power) and little maintenance. They say to oil it with WD-40, and I have a can ready for that.It's the "American" Lawn Mower Company, but this thing is made in China. At this price, how could it not be? I recognize that an American-made mower, if one is really being made these days, would cost much more. I appreciate the affordability, and this thing is well-constructed.It goes together fairly easily with no tools. The instructions and diagrams (especially the diagrams) could be a lot better, but it's pretty obvious how it goes together. They tell you to put soapy water on the handlebar grips so they slide on more easily. A nice hack, but they should have just done that at the factory, and better-quality grips would be welcome. These are just foam -- not the greatest.tl;dr For the price, this delivers great value and does the job. I would buy again.

Title: Surprisingly good mower!
Review: My yard is 10ft x 5ft, max, and I'm a townhouse with no garage so I have no room to store a "real lawnmower" let alone the actual need for one. I bought this mower with high hopes, while secretly rationalizing the waste of a hundred bucks. It came next day and it was much easier to put together than I thought it would be-- didn't even need a tool. Barely looked at the instruction manual which also included QR codes to step by step videos. My only tip for putting it together, clear a space so you can lay the whole thing out on the floor. It's much easier that way. When I used it for the first time, I know my grass was longer than recommended. But wow! It cut it so well! I did go back over it a few times because when it's too long some of it definitely gets stuck and not cut and the clippings get in the way. But it did a great job with even two long grass! I had so many clippings that I raked it up and bagged it, but I think that if I just cut it once a week (or every other if it hasn't rained a lot), it will be fine. Only frustrating part is that I do need to weedwhack all four edges just because how close everything is and the mower only gets about 2 inches from the edge, but, it's still WAY better than trying to weed whack the whole thing, so it's 5 stars for me, even though specific aspects are less.

Review: Este é o meu segundo cortador de relva de rolo. O anterior é de uma marca europeia e não se aproxima á robustez do America Lawn Mower.Tem uma estrutura simples e robusta. O seu peso pode dificultar o início do movimento, mas é esta característica que ajuda no corte mais preciso e eficiente.Vale a pena para os pequenos relvados de impossível acesso do trator de corte, que é o meu caso.Sem dúvida recomendo.

Review: Like I said it works easier than I thought, cuts through grass about 6 inches high.Just watch out for those twigs as they can easily send you over the handle bars without warning.

Review: Ich wollte schon längere Zeit einen Spindelmäher haben, weil unser Elektromäher sehr unhandlich ist und wir mittlerweile mehr Beete als Rasen haben. Noch dazu mag ich das laute Geräusch der handelsüblichen Mäher nicht - früher hatten meine Eltern immer einen Spindelmäher und das hat auch immer funktioniert. Leider ist die Qualität bei vielen Produkten heutzutage nicht mehr das Wahre und so informierte ich mich längere Zeit, welchen Spindelmäher man nun überhaupt noch kaufen kann. Ich glaube, die Amerikaner lassen mittlerweile auch in China produzieren, aber da kommt man wohl kaum drum herum. Ich habe mich letztendlich für dieses Modell entschieden, weil er von der Breite her für meine Ansprüche genau richtig ist (breiter wäre bei uns zu viel des Guten, da wir auch ein paar schmale Durchgänge haben) und weil er nur fünf Spindeln besitzt und nicht sieben. Bei weniger Spindeln sind die Abstände zwischen eben diesen größer, so dass auch etwas längeres Gras hindurch passt. Sprich: Man muss etwas weniger häufig mähen. Insgesamt sollte einem aber natürlich klar sein, dass ein Spindelmäher eher für nicht allzu langes Gras geeignet ist und man mit dem Mähen nicht zu lange warten sollte.Das Produkt macht einen guten Eindruck. Lediglich die Räder sehen etwas billig aus, für meinen Geschmack. Alles in allem aber besser, als die Baumarkt-Spindelmäher, die ich bisher so gesehen habe. Da wir den Mäher erst Sonntags zusammen gebaut haben und ihn natürlich auch gleich testen wollten, ohne die Nachbarn zu stören (Ja, manche stören sich tatsächlich auch an so einem Geräusch), haben wir ihn erstmal nur ein kurzes Stück ganz langsam und vorsichtig über die Wiese geschoben. Es standen einige einzelne Halme mit etwa 15 cm Länge darauf, die auch etwas dicker waren und Blüten hatten. Der Mäher schnitt sie im Nu ohne Kraftaufwand einfach sauber ab. Wir staunten nicht schlecht 🙂 Er ist wirklich richtig scharf und erfüllt voll und ganz seinen Zweck. Das Gras war nicht geschreddert oder gequetscht. Es sah aus, als hätte man es mit einer Schere gekappt. Ich hoffe, dass er lange Zeit ein so gutes Schnittbild liefert und auf Dauer auch die Natur davon profitiert und etwas weniger Insekten im Mäher landen (der elektrische saugt ja quasi alles an und zerschreddert es). Auch der Rasen wird es uns auf Dauer danken. Ich kann den Mäher guten Gewissens weiter empfehlen.
