I am satisfied with my purchase so far. We'll see how it fares over the next few years. Smelled funny, but I attribute that to being made in China. Who knows what else that was shipped with, or where it was made there in China.
Quick shipping, blah blah blah
Lawn Mower Nostalgia July 7, 2008

I purchased this reel push mower so I could mow my dogs pen without having to rake grass. It works great, is easy to push in all but really high grass.
I wish the bag held more grass. But all in all it was a good buy. I would definately recommend it to someone for mowing a small area.

Very pleased with this product! I mow my yard twice a week because some tall weedy grasses (crab and nut) are difficult to cut if allowed to get to tall. But the lawn looks great afterwards and I look forward to mowing and the exercise. It has been 50 years since I pushed a non powered mower, but it pushes easily and I can mow in the cooler early morning or late evening hours because it is so much quieter. Cutting more often and less length is probably better for my grass! Using a nonpowered non-selfpropelled push mower is better for me, my yard, and the enviroment!

 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.
