  • Great purchase
Size: 14" 4 blade
So, I bought this to replace a gas mower that died. I was a bit hesitant but decided to give it a shot being it was a cheap buy compared to a decent powered mower. I was surprised as to how much I love this thing. Assembly was pretty quick, about 5 minutes. I do suggest attaching the bottom part of the handle to the mower then putting the entire handle together. Three issues. 1. It doesn't cut as big of an area as a standard mower, but that is minor as it goes pretty quick. 2. It only cuts pushing forward and just rolls the wheels walking backward. Minor issue. 3. Only major concern is it takes very little to jam the blades. Easy fix is tip it on its' left wheel and shake it. This works in most cases otherwise just pull out whatever jammed it. This so far is the worst issue, but still not a big deal. But all in all, I love this thing. I can take it over tree roots and bumps and places where a gas mower can't go. I drove over the garden hose and no damage. It is also great for edging and tight spaces. So, I have to say this is a great purchase if you want a decent replacement for your gas mower. Easy to assemble, easy to store and very easy to move around such as taking it to the front yard. Just pick it up and carry it. ... show more

  • Highly reccomend!
Size: 14" 4 blade
Okay first of all, I'd just like to say that I am autistic, and I absolutely LOATHE mowing the lawn. The mower is too loud, the vibrating of the handle makes my arms go numb, and I can never quite pull on the cord hard enough to get it started by myself. I always have to find someone else to turn it on for me. And not to mention the fact that the smell of gasoline gives me a headache. So I finally decided to see if any old-fashioned mowers still existed, because I would much rather deal with something slower and time-consuming if it meant I wouldn't have to deal with using a normal lawn mower. Imagine my surprise when I found that there are /new/ manual lawnmowers, and I can just order them from Amazon! So I decided I had nothing left to lose, and I would give it a try. Best. Decision. EVER. NOTE OF ADVICE: If you have difficulty putting it together (specifically, attaching the handle to the blade part), find someone with more upper-body strength to help you. They'll get it done in two seconds. (it took me half an hour of attempting to do so before I gave up and waited for my sister to get home so she could help me) Also: it only cuts while you're pushing it forward, so all you have to do to move it when you're not cutting is to pull it along behind you. As for cutting grass? I love it. It works perfectly, aside from a few snags on branches that I didn't notice. If you move it forward and back a few times, you can cut even tall weeds! Much easier than pulling them out by hand in the areas that the normal gas mower can't reach. It's not silent, but it's also not the deafening roar of a gas mower. If I had to describe the sound, I'd say it's a whooshing sound, and much much quieter than a gas mower. Plus, you don't have to deal with your arms vibrating or constantly having to turn the mower back on! No more buying gas, no more struggling to pull on the cord hard enough to turn the mower on, and no more complicated wire-pulling to turn it off. All I have to do is push forward, and the grass gets cut. Stop walking, and it stops cutting. It's easy to maneuver, and it's not so heavy that I can't pick it up and carry it up a flight of stairs to my porch if I need to. I'm never using a gas mower again. ... show more

  • Great for maintaining short grass but struggles with tall weeds
Size: 14" 4 blade
I wanted something simple and light to maintain my lawn and this is exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to assemble, but I did have to watch a video. The mower is light enough to pull out and use any time. Its easy to push and the blades are very sharp. I personally put on my earbuds and listen to an audiobook while I mow usually. I appreciate how quiet it is since there is no motor. It’s great because I can have my young kids in the yard and I can talk to them as needed. While it will does tall grass, you will just about destroy yourself while doing so because you will have to go over sections so many times. Honestly I don’t even bother I use a weedwacker as soon as the mower gets stuck. Then use the mower to even out the grass. Tall grass/weeds will also get tangled/wrapped around the sides of the mower and need to be cleared often as you cut. It’s a complete nightmare. It’ll definitely be better to use this mower as a way to maintain an already cut lawn. It’s definitely affordable though and better then just using a weedwacker on your entire yard. To clean the sides I just use shears to clear it. UPDATE MARCH 2026 I originally purchased this mower in July 2024 and left my first review in September 2024. I’ve continued using it regularly since then and plan to keep using it long-term. My opinion hasn’t really changed, but I understand its purpose better now. This is an excellent mower for maintaining an already cut lawn. When I keep up with mowing, it’s quick, easy, quiet, and honestly really convenient to just grab and use. I still love that I can use it while my kids are outside (even swimming) and still hear everything going on. I do still run into the same issue with taller grass getting caught and needing to be cleared from the sides, so I avoid using it for overgrown areas. For that, I still use a weed trimmer or my gas mower first, then switch back to this for maintenance. At this point, I consider it more of a maintenance tool than a primary mower, and for that role it works really well. I find myself reaching for it regularly when I just need a quick, quiet cut. Since I am still reaching for it regularly despite upgrading to a gas mower I’m updating to 4 out of 6 stars instead of 3. I won’t give it a 5 out of 5 stars since I still have to clear the sides sometimes. ... show more

  • Quality, reasonably effective
Size: 14" 4 blade
Easy to assemble by myself in just a few minutes. Quality material and not too heavy. My yard is very sandy and uneven. I live near the coast on a wooded lot, so the grass and weeds are very patchy, making an electric mower impractical. I don’t need perfection, I just need to make it easier to walk through and keep weeds from re-seeding, and this does the job for me. The blades are sharp but it does require several passes in some sections. It’s a bit of work but it’s way more helpful than trying to go out there and hand weed or use a sickle. Sticks and gumballs will stop the blades, but it’s par for the course. This is a quality product if an affordable manual mower is what you’re looking for. ... show more

  • Great little mower!!
Size: 14" 4 blade
I’m in my early 30s with a full-time big girl job and five animals to take care of and I’ve been struggling keeping up with the lawn care at my house. I had a gas mower donated to me, but honestly having to fill it was really difficult and it was very bulky and old. I figured I’d give this a try since it’s simple and straightforward and doesn’t involve any electric or gas. I also have always been fascinating with the simpler, more old-fashioned-way of doing things. I have to say this mower is even better than I could’ve expected! It’s super powerful and awesome for being a push mower and even though it’s a great workout and I’m sweating afterwards it’s not too difficult that I can’t finish the lawn in one round. It’s actually oddly satisfying and I find myself away my lawn more often now!! people think I’m crazy when I tell them I use a push mower, but I love it so much. If you’re on the fence I definitely suggest you get it! I will be investing in a sharpener soon as I’m sure overtime the blades get dull, but as of now it’s working great. ... show more

  • Inexpensive Easy Assembly Does cut grass Lightweight Low Profile Cons
Size: 14" 4 blade
Pros: Inexpensive Easy Assembly Does cut grass Lightweight Low Profile Cons: Easily jammed Not very sturdy This hand reel mower does what it claims but with some limitations. The good: Its one of the cheapest options out there. I put it together in less than 5 minutes. It does cut grass under a certain length effectively and its relatively small size makes it easy to store if you don't have a large garage or shed. The bad: The blades will cut grass pretty effectively as long as its not too thick or there's any "debris" like small twigs or pieces of mulch around. If the grass is too thick the reel will lock up but I was able to get around this by backing up and just pushing the mower harder, which greatly increases the amount of effort as I would have to do this over and over every step in the areas with thick grass. But if anything a bit harder than grass like a piece of mulch or a twig is caught in the reel forget it. You'll need to remove the blockage (as it will often stick to the blade) and try again. This can become unmanageable depending on your yard. I quickly lost patience trying to cut near an area that had mulch as it would lock up every few steps. I literally thought I had a defective unit at first as the pieces of mulch and twigs that would prevent the blades from spinning were so small many times that I didn't even notice them. You can probably minimize this issue by raking before mowing but that's something I never had to worry about with gas mowers. Another thing to consider is that after the grass gets past a certain length, this mower becomes ineffective as it relies on the grass being able to get caught between the blades as they are spinning. If the grass is too long, it will cause the grass or weeds to lay down and roll over them instead of cutting them. This appears to be a limitation of all hand reel mowers though and not just this particular one. Overall I'd say get this is perfect if you're looking for a cheap and small to cut a small lawn and don't have to cut around mulch or a tree that drops lots of twigs or anything denser than grass. If this isn't the case I'd probably recommend spending another $30+ and getting an electric or extra $100 to get a gasoline mower. ... show more

  • Love my new mower!!
Size: 14" 4 blade
I was so excited that I put it together and mowed the lawn in my pajamas! It was easy to put together. It arrived on the lowest blade setting. I didn’t bother dealing with it. I wanted to get going. The thicker parts of my lawn were a bit tricky. If you have nice thick grass I would put up the blade. My yard isn’t as nice as it used to be so the lowest blade was fine. It will get stuck on any teeny branch or thick grass but easy to remove. I don’t know how long the blades will stay sharp but so far so good *I wish that the handle was a little taller. I found my back was hurting a bit from leaning over. I’m fairly tall 5’9 for a woman so if you are taller you might want to look for a taller one. I just went with what was a good deal and a fair price. ... show more

  • I expected better from this reel mower
Size: 14" 4 blade
I bought this American Lawn Mower for my apartment’s small yard since I wanted something simple and cheap. It does cut, and it is quieter than my old electric one. But the 4 blades still snag when the grass is damp. One afternoon the mower started dragging, and I had to stop and clear it by hand. For me it is fine on dry days, not great overall. ... show more
