Title: Out-Freakin'-Standing...
Review: Bought this a little more than a month ago. The blades required adjustment right out of the box with no adjustment needed, since. I've cut the front and back yards at least 4 or 5 times each. The front looks better than ever. The back, which is ALL crabgrass, looks great, but requires extra cutting (the dogs take priority so we don't use any chemicals back there). You won’t believe how this gobbles up the thickest, squirreliest, grass. BUT, you’re the engine; the thick crabgrass will slow you down. However, typical grass is no problem. The chain driven blades are remarkable.This week we had rain from Saturday to Wednesday; heavy downpours. I cut the backyard yesterday, Thursday, and although it was very wet, it looks great.I love this machine. I grew up working on golf courses. We cut everything with reel mowers, which is why I wanted to try this mower. It exceeds all expectations. There are things it has a slightly hard time with, i.e., tall blades, especially the harder, brittle ones that have gone to seed. But, if you run the mower to those and stop above them, the blades continue to spin and with a little experience and finesse, it will eat these up easily. What I find works best is cutting twice, in 2 directions; perpendicular cuts. The 2nd gets what the 1st didn't. I know what you're thinking, "TWICE?" You don't have to cut everything twice; only where it counts, high visibility areas. Trust me, your neighbors will be jealous.What I like best about this mower: NO gas, NO oil, NO stink, NO noise. With my battery powered weed eater, I'm the greenest guy on the street. And, I'm happier for it.FYI: I spray everything, as recommended, with SILICON lubricant before and after each cut. When I finish cutting I put the mower on the deck. in the sun. It dries out in no time. I clean off the cuttings and put it in the shed.Deficiencies: It really has none, but one design flaw is: the height adjustment knob is detached when you receive your mower. It screws onto the adjustment lever. BUT, if you have a yard like mine, i.e., bumpy and large, it will vibrate off, which is what happened to mine. I've walked the yard half a dozen times and can't find it. This morning I called Fiskars Cust. Svc. and they immediately finished my sentence for me, followed by: "give me your name and address and I'll send one out." When the new one arrives, I'll put some plumbers tape on the shaft before installing it.Conclusion: You can't get a better mower for under $200, anywhere. Weird as it sounds, I look forward to cutting the grass. That never happened, before...Update: Got the replacement knob this morning, 8/3. Great product, great company...Update 2.0 (4/28/19): Second season cutting with this mower. Got it out, cleaned and lub'd the whole mower about 2 weeks ago. 2nd cut of the season this morning @7am; it's so quiet nobody in the neighborhood knew I was out there.. The grass looks so nice that I actually stop and look at it every time I walk thru the living room. I believe the grass has changed since I got this; the grass stands up now, and the texture has changed (it's softer and seems to have adjusted to the mower), even the mess in the backyard. I'm sure if/when the rain decreases the grass'll get more brittle, but because this mower throws the moist cuttings back into the lawn that should be minimal.After reading some of the other reviews, I can understand why some have had a less-than-positive experience with this mower. First, the front wheels don't pivot. If you wanna turn, YOU have to turn the mower. It's not hard. I go around the beds and trees with no problem. And, as long as you cut regularly and don't let the grass get too long, this'll cut it, nicely. As I said in my original review, I cut the front yard in both directions. Even then there are some irregular cuts, but unless you look for it, you'll never notice or care.For those who might worry about the blades getting dull, don't. They kinda take care of themselves. You might have to adjust the blades, but sharpening should only be done when/if the mower is not cutting. That said, you need to take care of the blades. Any branches or twigs that fall into the yard should be picked up. They'll dull your blades if you keep cutting them; you'll know when you've cut one because you'll hear the blade kind of ring each time you do. If anything big enough to stop the reel from spinning, that's bad, too. Leaves aren't as bad, but you should avoid cutting anything that isn't grass.For what it's worth, mine sat in the shed all winter and it got pretty cold. I removed the orange top shield and chain guard, cleaned everything, including the blades and lub'd all the bearings and chain. There's no difference in cutting from last year.I've pretty much decided that if/when this mower wears out, I'm buyin' another one. I still think it's the best mower you can buy for under $200.

Title: Cut the grass really well!
Review: After many years of gas powered mowers this is my first reel mower and I’m pleasantly surprised.Pros:The finished product is far better than the gas mower, the grass is green and not yellowing after cutting. No grass stains on my shoes or feet. The mower is light and easy to maneuver, it doesn’t mash the grass down after multiple passes. The cutting height is easily adjusted in seconds. When stored it takes less than half the space a regular gas mower takes up in the shed.No running out of fuel but you may run out of “gas”😂Cons:Like I said it cuts the grass really well but it CAN’T be really long. If your grass is overgrown you will have a tough time with this mower. You may have to cut you grass shorter otherwise you will need to cut the grass more frequently if you like you grass taller. If your lawn is prone to many sticks or leaves with thick stems this is probably not for you. Sometimes the littlest twig will get caught in the reel and grind you to a complete stop. If it’s large and you’re moving fast it will bend the reel. It takes a little less effort than a non self propelled mower and turns far easier but if you have a large yard it may be too much work during the hot summer.Overall for the price and the size of my yard it was well worth the purchase. After a month my grass hasn’t looked healthier after cutting it.

Title: Better than expected (after a bunch of research)
Review: I have thought about getting a reel mower for a while and after my corded mower died last week I did a LOT of research and got this one. Definitely don't regret it.Over the past 15 years I've gone through gas, battery and corded mowers. Not sure if I have bad luck, the opposite of a mechanic's "green thumb", or if they don't make 'em like they used to. But I have a lot to compare against.I read a lot of reviews and descriptions of reel mowers and thought that I didn't have any deal breakers in my yard. Relatively small 1/5 acre, no big hills, no sticks or twigs. It is definitely not flat and even though.This mower assembled in about 10 minutes, the handle comes in 3 pieces which fit together with 4 bolts, which come pre-treated with Loctite. It attaches to the mower with a peg and cotter pin system, which is a little fidgety for me but was easy enough with a few whacks with the heel of my hand. Having two people would make it easier.Then off you go! It mows very cleanly, and sprays the grass out in front of you. It's hefty, but this is only a drawback when you are getting it in or out of storage, or if you're pushing up a hill. If you have hills that you can't mow laterally I'd think twice about getting this mower. Other than that, the extra heft helps you get momentum to move through the grass.I have a sense that it has a gearing system where the mower blades turn faster or with more torque than the wheels, because it really rips through the grass, and you only need a couple of inches of forward movement to get the blades going.A few comparisons to other mowers:It's quiet of course, not silent but you can hear a conversation in the next yard over.It only mows while moving forward, so you have to account for that in the pattern that you mow. Wasn't a problem in my case.My yard is bumpy with many varieties of grass and weeds, and the mower doesn't cut 100% perfectly, there are a few missed blades or spots. This is fine for me, I don't have or want a perfect yard. I think if your yard was more carpet-like it would get a very nice clean cut from this mower.It turns quicker and easier, you tip it on the back wheels and it's easier to pivot than other mowers.If you go through heavy grass you definitely need extra oomph because it's your pushing that actually cuts the grass. An easy fix is to just cut thinner strips.A pleasant surprise for me is that mowing is overall much faster, I mowed the yard in about 1/2 to 2/3 of the time as other mowers, in part because of the 18" width, easy maneuverability, and not having to mess with gas or cords.If there is a single blade of grass taller than about 6" it won't cut it no matter how many times you go over it, it just lays flat and pops back up. If this is just a few places you can go back and hit it with a trimmer, but if you have a lot of this, or if your grass is out of control and/or gone to seed, this mower very likely won't cut it at all. There is a very easy height adjustment so depending on the length you could cut once on max height and maybe again at a lower height. If there are some tall blades like this mixed in with other heavy grass, they'll often get caught and cut, so it's only the lone stragglers that are a problem. Overall, I was pleased with this mower's ability to move through relatively tall, thick grass. In my area in April and May grass can grow several inches in a week. This was actually my main concern with a reel mower but wasn't an issue at all.You want the handle relatively low like at waist level (it's adjustable with 4 settings), otherwise the handle lifts which is tiring.

Review: Encantado, muy contento con la compra, corta el pasto como las tijeras al papel, ni bien llego la probé cortando mi pasto y funciona genial.Su sistema de Cuchillas de corte sin contacto hace que sea realmente silenciosa y no me cuesta casi nada de trabajo empujarla, cualquier persona podría hacerlo. Después de cada uso la limpio con una brocha sin poner mucho empeño y le pongo silicona en spray para evitar corrosión y que quede lista para el siguiente uso.Hay que armarla y ajustar un poco pero no es nada del otro mundo. El único pero que le pongo es el plástico de las llantas de atrás, siento están algo débiles, ojalá me equivoque. Fuera de eso, LA RECOMIENDO 100%, hay una versión un poco más grande y el pasto lo tira hacia enfrente, creo que es mejor modelo, pero bueno esta que compré cumple con creces.

Review: I love this reel mower. It has great instruction and many setting adjustments for cut heights and operator. I am 5’2” and often need to go on my tippy toes to push other mowers especially if the grass is tall. This one allows me to adjust the handle to my height. It adjust to taller grass 3 1/2”. Its a bit heavier than many newer reel mowers but similar in weight of older styles which I needed as my new turf was very tall and very thick. To push it is easy but if you need to pack it around a yard with stairs and so forth it may be a bit cumbersome. It’s more quite than previous ones and does a great job.

Review: We used the reel mower for the first time today and we were pleased with the results. The overall built feels sturdy and assembly was surprisingly easy. It might be more expensive than other brands but it does feel like this will last for a while.
