Title: The wheels feel tight after the mower has been sitting for a couple of days.
Review: I mow my lawn twice per week with this mower. The reason is to make sure I'm only mowing the top 1/3 length of the grass as when it gets longer I don't feel it does as well. This is just a consequence of all push-mowers I've used not this one specifically. My first mow, the grass was long and I did mow twice initially to get my lawn to the level I wanted. I mow on Tuesdays and Saturdays and the lawn looks great. My neighbor commented on how good my lawn looked. The mower is easy to assemble, just attach the handle and get started. It is relatively light when compared to a gas or electric mower, but a little heavier than my 5-blade push mower. The manual recommends to put WD-40 or similar lubricant on the blades after use, I would emphasize that recommendation. In my experience, the wheels are tight initially and the mower makes a loud screeching sound for a few seconds when starting initially. This seems to be alleviated by spraying WD-40 on the blades after mowing. Cutting crab grass is a challenge as the length of that grass can be tall enough to not get caught in the turning blades, other than that, beautiful cut, easy to push, easy cleanup - works great on my bermuda and fescue. Only complaint: I wish the handles were wider.

Title: Reel Great Mower
Review: Purchased this so the kids could mow a small section of the yard that's fenced off and I can't get the riding mower into. They love having a mower they can use themselves, and it does a great job cutting a variety of grasses (Bermuda, misc. local grasses, and even taller, thick St. Augustine) but it may take several passes in different directions for the most uniform final product. It is easy and smooth to push though, so that works out fine. Seems to stay sharp and when oiled regularly after use, and stays in great shape. The grass seems healthier and happier after being cut with this mower, and I love that the kids (11) can do it without my help. Great for use in a smaller space or yard - wouldn't want to cut a half-acre or more with it (at least not of our thick mix of grasses and weeds), but is fantastic for our lush extended chicken run. Would highly recommend for someone who wants a quiet, conventional mower that doesn't need fuel, will give you a healthier lawn, and will last a long time.

Title: Good quality mower
Review: 7 blade reel mower, easy to assemble. No tools required. Fairly easy to push. Light weight. If you have a well established lawn it cuts well. If you have dandelions and clover... you really need a power mower. This doesn't cut dandelion stalks.

Title: Yes It Is Light Weight And Maneuverable And Sharp
Review: And it was definitely easy to assemble. Don't lose the one-page instructions, they do make assembly easier. I've used the mower several times over the last two weeks and am very happy with the results. Now I need to learn where to oil/grease it, how to sharpen the blades and build a shelter to keep it out of the rain.

Title: 1715-16EW 16" 7-blade - superior to my Fiskars 18" reel max at less than half the price
Review: I really wanted to do a review on the Earthwise 1715-16EW 7-blade push reel mower because it works so well. I have been mowing this year with the Fiskars 18 inch stay sharp max reel mower, and I have had some problems with it. The way the front wheels are so far in front of the cutting bed with the rear wheels so far behind it can make it an issue when mowing on even a gentle hill; the bed drags on the ground and the mower scalps. I also had a problem with any little debris in the yard catching in the reel and stopping the mower. When I purchased the sharpening kit, the first time I received a kit without a crank handle. Had to go through the return process and finally received the full kit. But then when I went to remove the small gear on the reel shaft, I torqued my allen wrench 90* trying to break loose the set screw before the bolt hole finally stripped out. Don't know if they loc-tited the screw or if it was installed with an impact wrench at too high a torque setting. I ended up having to drill/tap the opposite end of the shaft for a 10mm bolt so I could attach a nut driver to backlap and resharpen the "non-contact" blades. Overall the Fiskars is not a bad machine, but for the price it has serious drawbacks. This Earthwise 7-blade mower is superior to the Fiskars at less than half the price (I paid $87 for it - was on sale - suh-weet deal). Took me about 10 minutes to attach the handles and set the height for my yard (I mow at 1.5") and I was out and mowing. The reel turns much faster for the same walking pace than the Fiskars reel and that and the fact that it has 7 blades made mowing today a single-pass effort where previously I would have to pass over the same lane 2x with the Fiskars. The rollers on the back also help keep the Earthwise level when mowing uneven areas as well as far superior when overhanging the landscape edging. Because the cutting bed is centered under the wheels, I do not have any problem with the bed contacting the ground at any location in my yard, which was definitely not the case with the Fiskars.Time will tell if this mower is long-term reliable, but the reel and the bed look and feel well-made, the handles are sturdy and the 10" wheels had no problem with slipping (which I was originally a bit worried about).The only minor gripe I would have is that I would prefer the handles be slightly wider and straight vs angled, but I can rig up something for my comfort very easily (perhaps some bicycle bar-ends or some such thing).I have a residential yard and it takes me about 30 minutes to push mow. It is not a high level of exertion, just a little push with a walk.I was worried about this purchase based on other reviews, but I am pleased that I own this mower and also that it works better than the more expensive one I previously purchased. Anyone want to buy my old Fiskars? lol.

Review: Works great. Works best on short grass as per all reel mowers so you are required to cut you grass more often. They do not work well on long grass. Adjustable with multiple blades. Bought with sharpening tool. Easy and safe for my son to use and cuts grass clean where rotary blades shred/fry grass ends. I love it for the small amount of grass I have in my front yard and use my gas mower for my back yard.

Review: Really good quality. Very sturdy and well made. Thought it would be heavy to push but it's super easy and cuts really well. Saw reviews it was hard to lower the blade but didn't have any issues with it. Excellent product.

Review: Kein Strom, kein Benzin, kein Begrenzungsdraht. Einfach schieben!Der Mäher macht nach dem ersten Sommer immer noch einen perfekten Eindruck. Das Schieben geht leicht. Der Schnitt ist sehr sauber. Da ich den Rasen relativ kurz halte bleibt der Abschnitt liegen. Perfektes Ergebnis.Klare Kaufempfehlung!
