Title: So much better than I had hoped for!
Review: I read through so many reviews on so many different lawn mower options before deciding to pull the trigger and purchase this. I have not had a lawn in over 20 years, so it has been a long time to own one. I wanted to go towards the 'eco friendly' options more out of selfishness if you ask me. I did not want to have to even remember to go get gas for a fuel powered one so that was off the list immediately. Move on to battery or 'man power' (this one). The cost was another factor but did not make or break my decision. I work remote and don't get out much so I ultimately chose this to force myself to exercise even if only a little bit. (yep hate exercise). I was a bit concerned as I was afraid I had waited to long to buy this to get my lawn mowed as it was getting tall in some places. Between the reviews and even the descriptions they do not recommend using this on taller grass, but I did. So here are the details: I have roughly 1/3 an acre or so of grass to cut. I have a wild mix of seeded/pre-purchased grass sections (home was remodeled when i bought it) as well as the back half of random grasses and flowers and weeds. Yard is uneven terrain but no hills (lots of dips and bumps). I adjusted the blades to the highest setting to start. The tall sections were rough to cut, taking more 'man power' that normal. However, it still cut it eventually! I quickly realized that if you take angled swipes/passes and just take it down a little bit at a time it works much better and goes much faster. The rest of the yard was pretty easy. Some of the taller weed stalks didn't get cut, the mower just passed over them basically. As I am not looking for a 'perfectly manicured lawn' this didn't matter to me at all. I would say how long this took, but this was my first time mowing in over 20 years so I will keep that to myself! Going forward I will keep up on it and it should be easy like the lower patches I did go over. Decent exercise and overall pretty easy. Does it cut uneven? Sure, my lawn is uneven. Did I care? Nope because I am just happy to have a lawn. Easy to assemble, yup just read the instructions and attach the handle. I did have to adjust the blades as recommended but that was very easy and in the instructions as well. Although it does make some 'noise', you cannot hear it inside the house or anything like that. My dog is very afraid of any and all loud noises, has always been this way no matter what we tried. She walked right along with me while I was cutting the grass and she didn't mind the little noise it did make. Bottom line, I think this was a great investment for myself and my home. Lastly, I did not use the catcher as I did not care about dropping the grass clippings on my lawn. I read up on that outside of Amazon and depending on your yard, your environment and the type of grass and such you have, leaving more than 1" of cut grass will not end your lawn. Depending on all of those things you might not want to leave more than an inch of clippings but for all of my particulars I felt comfortable leaving more than an inch of clippings on my lawn. If my perspective changes over time I will update my review. Side not unrelated but might make you laugh - you should put sunblock on the tops/backs of your hands....

Title: A Lawn Mower That Does NOT Cut Grass
Review: (20150428) When I was growing up in the 1960s, we owned these types of lawn mowers. I remember my grandfather fixing one when he came to the USA for the first time in about 40 years. My mother was frantic that she was out of cooking oil. Anyway, they worked extremely well in the environment that I live in and am using this Sun Joe Mow Joe MJ501M in. That's why I purchased this type of lawn mower. I liked the idea of no gas, oil, or pull ropes breaking. Absolutely beautiful looking machine; very easy to assemble; very easy to use; extremely easy to follow instruction book... BUT this lawn mower, to my utter surprise, does not cut grass! I was able to use one of these just fine at the age of five, but not this one in my 50s! The blades roll like there's no tomorrow, and yet it only flattens down the grass. I did the paper cut test, and it passed with flying colors. I checked to see if the blades were too loose or too tight; no adjustment needed. I adjusted the height of the cut; no change. It won't cut high grass; it won't cut low grass; it won't cut anything but loose foxtails that fall off the stem just by blowing them with my mouth. Awaiting advice from customer service. I have videos, but no pictures. If anyone has any advice on how to get this thing to cut grass "PLEASE!!!" let me know.(20150430) Spoke to Sun Joe's customer service, and they are making an even exchange, even paying for return shipping. Very impressed with the company. Hopefully, this was just a single defective product. We'll see when I get the new one.(20150507) Received 20-Inch MRM (MJ502M instead of MJ501M). It works better in that it cuts grass... some, but still not what I remember when manual lawn mower handles were higher than the top of my five year old head. I still give this only one star because if the handles reached above my head five decades ago and cut this type of grass which was as high as my ankles back then, more modern versions should be able to cut just as well if not better.

Title: I'm impressed!!!
Review: I am very pleased with the results from this mower on my Tahoma 31. I laid my sod down 20 days ago and needed a reel mower. I couldn't afford to get a gas reel mower,especially being at the end of the season. I didn't want a push reel mower. I tend to listen to reviews on YouTube then Amazon. I would recommend this mower to someone that's new to the world of reel mowers. The picture is with the mower set at an 1".

Title: Have the right expectations. Or else..
Review: Let me save you from trying to use this for a month which caused near death. The blades are not sharpened at all. Don't even try, youll break your back . After all I wouldn't imagine a mower company to send a mower with blades that have never been sharpened..... So let me assure you, It is a good mower. You just have to back lap the blades, with the proper lubricant. They could of sent some of that too! I'll buy another reel mower when I need one. But it won't be a sun joe, sun joe can't can't be bothered by function . Also if you have grass that's squishy, has a lot of dead grass has, a lot of bump,divits, small dead spots, lots of little sticks ( I've seen sticks thinner than than a straw send someone over the handle bars with it's dead stop stick brakes ) uneven grass or grass you don't plan on cutting every few days in the spring , this mower isn't for you. The perks, if you have a perfect back yard, it's quiet, Or it would be if I didn't RUIN MY REEL! It's not maitnace free. Gotta stay in that too . Buy spray lubricant to keep rust off the blade and keeps the blade and cut bar moving nicely . Spray after every cut. Once you getting past the learning curb and getting your blades sharp and rake all the dead grass out of your lawn I actually enjoy it now, and it's quiet enough you can mow at 2 am if you wanted too. The freedom you get with a manual reel mower . Have fun getting use to your mower! You love it after it gives you hell!

Review: Paso mis dedos sobre las cuchillas según que muy afiladas y no me hacen corte alguno a mis dedos. Exigo que me devuelvan mi dinero o que me envíen las cuchillas correctas y bien afiladas. O su plan es que nosotros le saquemos filo a las barras???Que decepción con su empresa. Creí que eran más serios y responsables en cada uno de sus equipos.No corta ni los pedazos de papel que mandan de muestra, mi familia solo se burló de la compra tan mal invertida que hice.Enserio necesito solución a esto, quiero mi dinero o envíen las cuchillas afiladas correctas...

Review: I really like this mower. It is well built from quality materials.Pros:Environmentally friendlyQuality materials so you don’t have to fight with the mechanisms.Easy to assembleThe clipping bag works wellCons:Does require effort but nothing too strenuousNow this is not like a powered mower. It does not have motorized wheels to pull it along. It does require some effort to use but I like using it and I hated mowing my lawn before.I am also a 5’4” average-strength woman. I find this mower easy to use.I have a 40’ by 30’ back yard with a little bit of grass on the sides of the house and it takes maybe 30-45 minutes by the time I wrestle it out of my over-packed shed, mow and put it back. My lawn is 5 years old in a new neighbourhood so my landscaping is new and smooth with the appropriate drainage sloping required by the city. It mows the slopes (15 degrees max.) pretty good.It does an ok job along the fence however I still need to use the weed-whacker to trim up the areas along the fence, deck and garden. More than with my old gas powered mower.It does an ok job at mowing over dandelions hower with the thicker stalked weeds you do need to go ever the area a few times or just pull them out by hand.The grass clipping basket works better than I thought it would. I was impressed with how much grass it caught and I do use it more than I thought I would.This mower was a little harder to use when I first purchased it however after about 3 uses it broke in nicely and is easier to push.It stopped working the second time I used it however a little clump or hard dirt got jammed between the blades and the guard on the back so I put on some leather gloves, spun the blade the other way and it came out. It worked perfect after that.It works pretty good on grass that is 4” tall. I have it set to the lowest setting. Sometime if there is too mch grass clipping on top of the reel it will not properly cut the lawn but I brush it off and it works good. Be careful though, the blades are sharp.I really like this mower. I have used it for two months now (June and July). And I do recommend it.
