Gilmour 20-Inch Reel Mower with Grass Catcher #RM30
The lawn mower arrived in 3 days even with the free shipping. It assembled easily and works as promised. I have a small yard about 600 sf and I finish it in about 10 minutes. Grass catcher catches about 80% of the grass - which is fine.

 Cuts great but it's LOUD August 4, 2008

This mower cuts really well, but those who say this mower is too loud are right on the money. It's a lot louder than other reel mowers I've tried. When I first tried it, my wife could hear it in the house, which is well sealed and was closed up with the A/C on. After a few minutes, it started to squeal so loud it hurt my ears (really). I oiled it, but that only temporarily relieved the squealing, and after about 5 minutes, it started squealing again.
If it weren't for the noise level, I would like this mower. It cuts well and is one of the few reel mowers that offers a 3-inch cutting height, which is essential for people who do organic lawn care.
I contacted the company and was told that my complaint about the noise was the first they'd heard. So, always remember-- call the company. The very nice person I dealt with said she would let their engineers know.
The only other draw-back is that the grass catcher is a little on the small side, so it fills up too quickly (but that could have been because my grass was a bit too long when I tried it).
If they solve the noise problem, I would give it another try.
I love it August 7, 2008

At first it was very noisy and squeaky. Now that I have adjusted it, and put some WD40 and using it, it has calmed to almost nothing. It is now quiet, cheap to use, works great on longer grass, though I did need to go over it a few times. Good exercise, no gas fumes to contend with, blades self sharpening, etc.
The reason I had purchased this is that my push gas mower has puked, wondering something that was much cheaper and more energy efficient to use.
I love it
Go for it August 14, 2008

I purchased this in May and have used it as my main mower for a 10,000 sq. ft. lawn. Assembly was easy and I used it right away without adjustments. For background, although somewhat flat, my lawn is not even. Although surrounded by trees, I do not make pre-mowing inspections of the lawn for twigs, etc. and have not had any jamming issues. I find pushing the mower as easy as my gasoline mower, although you can not stroll with it. It does a close enough job to the gas mower not to worry about it. I do overlap my rows. I have had no problems with the mower, the quality seems to be good. I cannot compare to other companies because I haven't used them. I bought this one due to it's 20 inch width. I do not use the grass catcher as I want the clippings to fertilize the lawn. If you are reading this, you obviously are contemplating a reel mower, I say go for it. Not using gas and the quietness of it is worth it. You will even get some exercise.
