Underrated Amazon product of the year!
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
Real Gen X human here. I just had to leave a review for this mower. It’s the best thing to add to my shed in years. I’m normally a very techie person with lawn maintenance. I have electric power tools and a neat little robot mower that do most of the work, and a 2 acre yard. But I needed something to maintain the spaces in the yard that didn’t get enough attention and needed to look nice and I didn’t trust my weed whacker to cut evenly. This thing is amazing. Growing up in the 80s I only saw mowers like this on reruns of Dennis the Menace, and I figured they’d be clunky and uneven and rust-prone and I’d have to pay that Dennis boy down the street a whole nickel to come use it for me. But I found it to be simple, self-explanatory, exceptionally efficient, easy to maintain, and (most importantly for me, who stands 6’6” and usually hunches down to use other lawn mowers) versatile for any user requiring no adjustments whatsoever. The post swings freely, so the angle I push it is steeper than for most people, yet I can still get good forward movement from the mower. The design of this type of mower is such that some longer blades of grass may just get pushed down without going into the mower blades, so prepare to touch up some areas. And because it operates on human power, even small twigs can seize it up. But debris is easily cleared. In a year when lots of stuff you see on Amazon is admittedly of marginal quality, this product really shines. This is a style that was all but replaced by power tools, and unnecessarily so - there’s still a role for a tool like this and the design is underrated. Great workmanship, and American made (I checked the label to be sure, one never knows if a brand called “American” is truly made here.). I don’t give 5-star reviews often but this mower really earned it. ... show more

Surprisingly easy to push
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
Cuts great. Not bad at all to push, you will get some exercise though. But it was a lot easier than the old ones I remember from when I was a kid. I also bought a blade sharpening kit for it, I figure if I keep up on it, it won't become a real chore after being put off. Two complaints: Poor instructions; the assembly instructions are fine, but there are no instructions on sharpening, changing cutting height, or resetting the cutting bar. They just tell the buyer to go to their YouTube page. I don't want a video, I want printed instructions I can keep in the garage and refer to when I'm actually doing the work. And it's made in China, of course. I looked for an American made mower but couldn't find one. Can't we even make one of these here any more? ... show more

This Lawn Mower GREAT!
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
I am an old woman. Except for the last e-ring, I put this together myself. Had to get help with that last piece. I walk with a cane and can still push this mower. It cuts like a charm. Not sure if I would want to do a large area with it, but for a small yard, it is great! I do try to keep it mowed regularly so that I do not have to force it through tall grass. As I tell my neighbors..."This lawn mower is THE BOMB!" UPDATE: Second Season I changed my mind about the mower being THE BOMB! It is a SUPER BOMB!!! I had tall, thick grass after the winter and early spring rain. I was shocked at how the mower cut through that vegetation! I now call it the NINJA MOWER!!! Very happy with this mower! ... show more

Don't buy. It is a waste of money
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
This is a waste of your money. By the time I assemble the handle and actually used it, the window of return had closed. It is the worst price of crap I have ever purchased on Amazon. Don't buy it!!!. It will roll over the lawn but doesn't cut it. I am usually careful with big purchases but I needed to cut my lawn. I just purchased my first home. I was excited and my lawn needed to be cut. I wish I had never bought this. Trust me, I don't usually write reviews but I had to let people know to not waste their time and money. ... show more

Is it as good as it looks? YES!
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
I LOVE this mower. It reminds me of cutting our yard when I was a kid. Things I like: it's not too heavy, it was easy to put together, it's very sturdy, it does a nice job unless the grass is too tall, (which motivates me to keep the grass cut), no gas or electric cords required, it's great exercise for my arms, the grass doesn't shoot out to the side all over the patio or sidewalk, and the sound it makes is so soothing. I let my grandson try it out over the weekend. He liked it so much that he cut my whole back yard with it! He loved the sound it makes. He also liked that you can just pick it up and turn it around, saying that was easier than turning my electric mower. He likes to work smart, not hard! I would not have thought to do it like that, but he's right. It will get stuck on little sticks, but that's not much of a bother. Make sure to oil the blades after you use it so it stays nice! I'm very happy with it and am sure it will last me a long time. Solid purchase for me!! ... show more

Great cutting blade, terrible handle
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
I am furious that I purchased this, and don’t have any way to send it back. During my very first use the part that attaches to the wheel continually came off on the left side. I had to screw it back on after every pass. And then at some point it flew off, and I never found it again. The screw and bolt and now I have wasted all this money and still can’t mow my yard. ... show more

Cuts better than a rotary mower
Size: 16-Inch, 5-Blade
I wasn’t too happy about a little debt/paint chip on the handle, but other than that at the lawnmower works great and the grass looks beautiful, I ended up doing overlapping cuts per the instructions. I used a traditional battery powered rotary motor a week ago and this reel mower cut so much better. ... show more
