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. Visit the Store Visit the Store 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

  • Worth every damn penny
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
Look how TALL that grass was!! Dude. I was paying someone last year to take care of the yard and they were collecting the checks, and not mowing. So it was unruly when I got around to mowing! Takes a couple passes on LONG and thick parts. But if you’re not trying to fight your way out of a jungle, should work beautifully, 10/10 No cost on gas. No oil changes. No motor repairs. Just grab and go. ... 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.

  • Over priced for how it works.
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
Blades are not sharp. Very disappointing to have to roll over the same spot several times, and even then it doesn’t cut all the grass.

  • Outstanding result with manual rotary blade mower.
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
Oh my goodness! I had never considered trying to use a rotary mower. I bought the American 18" model. It is a great experience. It cuts very well, no noise or fuel and it makes my dog laugh. I had 12-18 inch Johnson grass that I trimmed in advance, but even though it was wet and tall, the mower made quick work of the other grass and weeds. Impressive! ... show more

  • Skip the collection basket
Size: 18" 5 Blade, Grass Catcher
Mower works great. Collection basket is a ridiculous joke, it is full after 5ft and very impractical. Just avoid it, get the cheaper version.
