Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher


Features

  • WIDE 18-INCH CUTTING PATH The five-blade reel and 18-inch cutting width cover more lawn with each pass while providing a clean, scissor-like cut on regularly maintained grass.
  • 1/2- TO 2-3/4-INCH CUTTING RANGE Adjust the cutting height from 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches. For tall or thick grass, begin at a higher setting and reduce the height gradually during subsequent mowing sessions.
  • MANUAL, ENGINE-FREE OPERATION Push-powered design requires no gas, oil, batteries, charging or electrical cords. It operates more quietly than most powered mowers but requires physical pushing effort.
  • BEST FOR ROUTINE LAWN MAINTENANCE Performs best on dry, regularly maintained grass. Tall or thick areas may require slower, overlapping passes. Remove sticks, pinecones and other hard debris before mowing to prevent the reel from jamming.
  • GRASS CATCHER INCLUDED The included catcher collects a portion of the clippings. Attach it securely and empty it frequently because its compact capacity may be impractical for thick grass or large lawns. Collection results vary, and some clippings may remain on the lawn.

Description

From day one, we built the business around providing a cleaner and greener option for maintaining America’s lawns. American Lawn Mower Company was established in 1895. Our history goes back over 125 years. From the Victorian era to World War II to the second suburban boom of the 1970s, we’ve been around for nearly every industrial revolution in America. Since 1895, we have been creating lawn mowers, gardening cultivators, tillers, and other essential outdoor tools. For a greener environment, we aim to lessen the carbon footprint of day to day gardening activities. Opting for our products that do not emit harmful fumes can help our environment in the long run. Our 125 years of experience in designing and innovating greener product options can promise the quality and reliability of our products. American lawn mower reels snip the grass, cutting each blade like a pair of scissors which leave your own healthier and greener. What size lawn is a 18-Inch reel mower best suited for? A 18-inch reel mower is ideal for small lawns between 3,000-7,000 sq ft. It performs best on compact, regularly maintained yards where maneuverability and precision are more important than covering large areas quickly. How much does the mower weight, and is it difficult to push? This reel mower weighs approx. 23 lbs, slightly heavier than 16-in reels. Push effort depends on lawn conditions-short, dry grass is easiest, while tall, thick, or uneven grass increases resistance. What is the difference between 4,5, and 7-blade reel mowers? 4-blade reels handle thicker, less-maintained grass better. 5-blade reels offer a finer cut for regularly maintained lawns. 7-blade reels are designed for very short, dense turf like golf course-style grass. How much maintenance does a reel mower require? Reel mowers require minimal maintenance. There’s no need for gas or oil, and blades typically only need occasional sharpening every few years, depending on usage and lawn conditions. What lawn conditions are best and worst for reel mowing? Reel mowers perform best on flat, dry, and well-maintained lawns. They are less effective on tall, thick, uneven, or wet grass, where pushing becomes harder and cutting performance may decrease. Reel mowers use a precise scissor-like cut, where spinning blades meet a fixed bar to trim grass cleanly instead of tearing it. This promotes a greener, healthier lawn while eliminating gas, fumes, and noise. Blade count matters 4-blade handles taller, thicker, or less-maintained lawns, while 5-blade delivers a finer cut for regularly maintained yards. For Midwest lawns, both are effective depending on conditions. Thicker grass increases resistance, so raise the cutting height for easier pushing

  • Do not recommend
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
I got nearly 2 uses out of this push mower before it began locking up, not allowing me to go forward with any use at all. I searched YouTube to try to find fixes and solutions to understand why this is locking up and not allowing me to push. It’s completely ridiculous. I have to spray it down with the hose completely and I will get three to five seconds of use before it locks up once again. I do not recommend this product and I wish the seller Advertising it would include some troubleshooting along with the order. I did call Amazon and send a request to the seller and even though it’s a recent purchase, he’s refusing to take any action and helping me he’s causing me to reach out to the manufacturer, which is gonna cost twice as much as the initial purchase to return for fixing. I am very unhappy with the seller. I believe you should have some integrity behind the products you sell if you want to be credible. Otherwise, you’re just wasting our money as well as wasting our time when we take the time to go through the proper channels to explain the flaw. ... show more

  • Great reel mower, skip the grass catcher
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
Works great, actually really fun to use. Don’t bother getting this model with the grass catcher though, save yourself the money because it’s flimsy and only catches maybe 50% of the clippings anyway. The actual reel mower itself is awesome for my small yard though.

  • Impossible for me to assemble
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
Seemed like a great deal, and product seems high quality. I appreciated detailed instructions with full sentences and not just photos (which seems so common these days). HOWEVER, I am physically incapable of completing assembly, which is beyond frustrating. The last step of attaching the handle requires a ton of muscle apparently to bend the metal enough to get it on the base. I’ve tried muscling it for 30 minutes and am just insanely frustrated. And the paint has gotten scratched up in the process. Not even sure what to do with it the dang thing at this point. Might be a great product if I could get it assembled. ... show more

  • Kept Lawn
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
My daughter cut our lawn with it. I was impressed on how good it cute the grass. We had two yard workers show up last minute. They were intrigued by how good it cut. The guys were like two kids in the toy store. It was hilarious watching them. This was definitely a winner.
