Title: If you want a push reel mower, this is an excellent choice
Review: We have a lot of lawn to mow, but are not fussy about it being mowed every week or "perfectly". Use the gas mower for some of the big areas, but wanted to try and become more environmentally friendly and LESS NOISY! First, the assembly. Let me say that even tho' I am a 61 year old female, I am VERY handy. I gave 3 stars to ease of assembly. This is the biggest negative about the mower. I am not saying it is difficult exactly, just annoying at times. One good tip I got from reading the reviews was this: ASSEMBLY is a bit of a.....pain. There are 3 bits: the handle, the middle, and the reel. The handle assembles easily. You will have issues if you follow the instructions by attaching that to the middle part and then putting the entire assembly on the reel. The trick is to attach the middle part to the reel as you will have to push on it (compress it) to get it on the posts. That will be impossible if you've fully assembled the handle as it doesn't flex to fit. Once it's on the reel, bolt the handle to the middle bit. THAT reviewer knew what they were talking about! ALSO, regarding assembly I agree with this reviewer: BUILD quality seem acceptable for a 100 dollar piece of equipment. However, it's engineered terribly. They basically send you two left sides to a handle. And this is actually an issue if you want to fasten the wing nuts/bolt in the same direction on both sides of the handle. Because the left handle is basically the right handle upside down, the bolt no longer fits inside of a dimple in the handle frame. So you're left with two choices: bolting one bolt and wing nut upside down and one right side up, or muscling one of the wing nuts so hard that you make your own dimple in the frame. THIS IS TRUE! I did the former.I also found that altho' it is true that ideally one doesn't want to set the reel too low and cut too much height off the grass at any one time, the mower works WAY better if you adjust the blades close to ground. I have not found that doing so causes the usual problem of grass too short and "burning". Oh, the method for adjust reel / blades is just awkward. But, not too hard. Regarding trying to cut longer grass. I have found that the blades are so sharp that even letting the grass get rather long (say 6-7 inches!) is perfectly fine. It is true that it does a much better job on soft grass. If you have a lot of "straw", you will get frustrated; it will not cut this sort of grass. People commented that it is better to walk fast and get the reel turning faster...yes, definitely makes cutting easier. Sometimes you benefit by giving a spot a second swipe. I think no matter the type of mower that overlapping your "lanes" of mowing and essentially double mowing is beneficial. I don't know why, but I like the "cut' produced by this mower much better than the gas mower. It is much greener and thicker looking. If you want a reel type mower, this one is highly recommended. Oh, yes it only goes forward. Not really an issue. Sticks? Well, if they are small and flat on ground, not an issue. If one gets in the blades...it stops SUDDENLY. Just pick the stick out. Hardly an issue for me; most small twigs get mowed right over. Lastly, the best thing is you can quickly grab it, no gassing up, do a small area only if need be...sometimes there are patches that grew faster than the rest. I am glad I bought it. Get the wider one for a few more dollars.

Title: Cuts well, good workout
Review: Our battery mower died last month. I was debating dropping $500 for a new gas or electric and I just couldn’t justify that cost for something that in today’s junk might last 4-5 years. Read all the reel mower reviews, watched videos, blah, blah, blah, settled on the 18” Great States reel mower.Since my electric died a month ago, the Kentucky bluegrass in my small 400sqft courtyard was about 7” tall and very thick. Challenge: accepted.I mowed early to take advantage of the low sun angle and low temps. Hopefully the photos illustrate the before/after as I made passes, and the clumps I hit with the string trimmer (around the tree) that the mower couldn’t get.Shipping: no issues, arrived in 3 days on time.Assembly: 10 minutes. If you’re not strong, get some help on the final step where you connect the handle to the mower. It helps to stand it on its side and pull down.Pros of this specific mower:- Makes a nice even cut.- Relatively simple height adjustment- Rolls smoothly in thick grass- Heavy enough to stay planted on the ground, light enough to carry with one hand using the center crossbar.- hangs easily on the wall of my garage saving me 10 square feet of floor space (see photo)Cons of this specific mower:- I don’t know if the aluminum handle will hold up. It has some flex. The lighter material helps keep the weight down. Tradeoffs, I guess.Pros of reel mowers in general:- quiet- no trips to gas station- no heavy battery that eventually wears out and now what do you do with that battery?- less storage space- mulches well, doesn’t turn your grass into wet spinach/thatch that clogs things upCons of reel mowers in general- It’s a workout. Like vacuuming a thick pile rug with the vacuum on bare-floor setting until you get the grass short enough to make steady passes.- If you’re OCD about bunches of grass sticking up after, you’ll be doing multiple passes (I cross cut my grass, so no biggie for me).- Twigs and landscape bark can briefly slow you down to remove them. I ran the leaf blower before to clear the debris and during to blow away some of the cut grass.First time used was today, but probably the hardest possible scenario: tall thick grass. Very pleased. When I got to the garage and hung it on a wall hook…tears of joy.I have 2.5 acres but this thing is so easy to use, I’ll be able to trim around the perimeter of the house and use it to knock down small patches of noxious weeds in summer without cranking up the tractor of using sprays. (spot treating)

Title: Great mower
Review: Some of the reviews scared me a little bit, I'm an older woman with not a lot of strength in my right arm due to nerve damage, but let me tell you this is incredibly easy to assemble. Don't let the reviews scare you. If you've ever assembled something from a Swedish furniture company this is a joy by comparison absolutely under 10 minutes. I followed the advice of a previous review and attached the bottom posts part to the wheel mechanism first, it is a little bit easier. And because it does take a little strength to pop into the little posts, just lie the mower on its side on one wheel and put the bottom one in first, then use a bit of your body strength to push down and slip the 2nd/top one into place. No problem at all. I did use a wrench to tighten the other handle screws but no other tools needed. This thing is great, it's lighter and easier for me to use than an old gas push mower I have, when my son isn't around I use this thing now and it does a great job. It has clogged up twice from little sticks I didn't notice, but you just pull them out and keep going. Worth the money. Spring for the 18 inch your lawn care will seem less daunting.

Review: What I like is how well it cuts grass. It doesn't require much effort to push - is light in weight - and strong and durable. It has three levels for long, medium and short grass. It is not recommended for high grass but it did the job on grass that was over 6 inches in height with a couple of passes. I also like how quiet it is compared to gas or electric lawn movers. Interestingly, my neighbors and strangers that see me cutting my front lawn stop to look at it and ask questions. So in a way, I've already done a number of reviews. It is easy to assemble although I prefer to watch their Youtube videos instead of the written instructions, which I would recommend. The assembly doesn't require any tools as it uses screws with large knobs that are turned by hand to thread through a part that then connects to a knob-shaped nut for tightening (never seen this design before, but very efficient and easy to do). Increasing and lowering the height is done by raising and lowering the roller by repositioning knob-shaped screws and knob shaped nuts on either side (takes seconds to do - no tools required). Delivery took a couple of weeks, but expected this was due to its popularity since it is ranked number 3 in best lawn movers. It is well worth the wait. The only thing that I could say is a dislike would be that the ends of the roller has metal rod protrusions on either side that you use to insert into a plastic holes. There are three plastic holes on each side, providing three levels of elevation to raise and lower the lawn mover by placing the ends of the roller in said holes. I would think a metal rod rotating in plastic over time would create wear on the plastic, as the roller rolls along the ground as you use the mower. If the holes were lined with metal, I think this would be a better design. But having said that, the plastic holes are thick dense plastic so perhaps my concern is not warranted given how everything else about this mower is fantastic. No gas, no batteries, no cord, quiet, lightweight, and cuts grass just a well if not better than anything else I've used. Very happy with this product.

Review: Quería comprar una podadora para un jardín mediano, la cual no quería gastar en una de gasolina por lo grande, pesada y ruidosa que es, encontré esta opción manual que tiene el tamaño y peso ideal para poder terminar el corte de mi jardín en menos de 1 hr incluyendo limpieza. Corta sin problemas el césped y no se tiene que aplicar una gran fuerza para empujarla.Es muy fácil de armar y no se requieren herramientas, la guardo en la lavandería sin ocupar mucho espacio. Haciéndola ideal para casas pequeñas a medianas en las cuales no se cuenta con grandes espacios de almacenamiento.Recomiendo que para mantenerla siempre libre de oxidación y un afilado ideal, limpiar con brocha la tierra y césped después de usarla, y posteriormente pasar un trapo impregnado de WD-40 sobre el filo de las cuchillas, haciendo esto tendrás una podadora siempre en buen estado por mucho tiempo sin necesidad de afilar o que sus cuchillas se llenen de oxido.Sin duda alguna la recomiendo para aquellos que les gusta mantener su césped siempre al 100 sin tener que gastar en jardineros cada 15 días.
