Pattern Name: Lawn Mower


Style: 18-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher


Features

  • This Craftsman 5-blade manual push lawn mower has the cutting width of 18-inches with an adjustable cutting height of 1-3 inches. This reel mower features trailing wheels with easy cutting height adjustment lever.
  • Lightweight manual push mower with comfortable padded cushioned grip and rear wheels for greater comfort and maneuverability
  • Grass catcher included with the reel lawn mower. The lawn mower can operate with or without the grass catcher and is easy to install or remove. Since reel mowers cut blades of grass like scissors there is little force behind the cut grass so not all grass clippings will be captured in the bag
  • The Craftsman manual reel lawn mower blades are made of durable steel that stays sharp for years. Reel lawn mowers are planet-friendly, pollution-free, noise-free and a low maintenance alternative way to keep your lawn healthy and green.
  • Maintenance Push Mower: When using a reel mower, tall grass means more work. Its better to mow smaller amounts more frequently than it is to let the grass get long. A push mower only cuts what gets between the reel and the cutter bar. Ensure a proper cut by not allowing your lawn to reach a height of much over 3-4 inches

Description

Craftsman reel lawn mower is a healthy alternative to all other lawn mowers. This old-fashioned lawn mower only requires your energy to function. This is a 100% manual powered reel lawn mower that puts off zero fumes or emissions. This push mower is low maintenance since you only have to be mindful of the sharpness of the blades and nothing else. The manual push lawn mower has a cutting width of 18". The 5-blade reel mower features durable heat-treated alloy steel blades and has adjustable cutting height of 1"-3" The composite wheels help the push mower with transportation and maneuverability. A reel mower uses a cutting action that does not bruise or damage the blades of grass. For best results from Scotts push mower, mow no more than 1/3 of the grass blade, so that deeper roots are encouraged. Increase the amount of overlap while using your push mower if your lawn reaches a height of 4 inches or more. Try not reel mower when the grass is wet. It usually produces a very uneven cut. Before using your reel lawn mower, make sure to collect and remove any lawn debris before mowing. Reel mowers work best on maintained lawns. If your lawn is overgrown with divots and tall weeds it is recommended to have the lawn worked on before using a reel lawn mower or it will take multiple passes the first time using a reel mower

  • Easy, but needed muscle for placing handles
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 16-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
Once I watched some YouTube videos on loosening the blades away from the cutting bar, then it was GOOD TO GO because they were too tight against each other out of the box. I have used the Mower 3 times; The first 2 times for one yard (one half on one day and the other half on the second day) because the grass was a bit tall and the grass had things growing out of it that I had to bend over and pull out with my hands, plus it is a large back yard. The third time was the charm with the grass only centimeters grown up (I was getting ahead of things). That weird grass in that yard is still a problem, but I did what I could to manage getting it done. I'm proud of myself that I powered through those first 2 days; I survived to tell the story. I wore some cute yard work gloves that were totally protective of my dainty hands pulling up those naughty stalky weeds/plants. This lawn was not my doing, it is attached to the place I recently moved into. I might go out there with a blow torch the next time...just joking. ... show more

  • Exceeds expectations
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 14-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
This mower is very quick to put together. I was curious about its limits, so I tried it out with many lengths of grass. I am not a physically fit person and I was able to push through 1-2' of grass (not a recommended length) with multiple passes and a lot of effort. Grass shorter than the wheels was no problem. Sticks, mud, and holes can get in the way of the blades or wheels, which can cause the mower to suddenly stop; so now I check ahead to avoid those. Overall it cuts grass well when used as directed by the instructions. I would recommend this mower and I am happy with my purchase. ... show more

  • Too heavy and too much work
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 18-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
I was hoping to like this lawnmower, but it was too heavy for us. It was also not as easy to use as we thought. It's necessary to pass over the same spot repeatedly for a good cut. The bagger didn't work well either and, add that's important to us, we opted to return it. It is a sturdy mower, but not for an older woman to use. ... show more

  • Ok for the price!
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 14-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
I am please with how quiet it is and that I don’t have to spend money on gas or electricity but the blades pealed off and began to oxidate… I have lubricate them and also sharpened them …. The bag to collect the grass does not stay in place and it falls off all the time. It is annoying. But it is a good mower for the value. ... show more

  • Love it!
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 14-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
I really hate lawn mower noise and we were moving into a house with a small yard, so I figured why not? I love it! It’s the perfect size and I don’t feel like I need ear protection to use it, which was really important for me. Yes, it does leave a few things here and there, but I find that I can get most of them in multiple passes. I do need to find something to do the edges as well, but I’m so pleased with this little guy for the price! I’m super happy with it, but I knew what to expect from it. You are not getting the same thing as a powered mower, but it’s really awesome for small yards! ... show more

  • Not great, not horrible
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 18-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
I purchased a reel mower to get a better & lower cut for my grass. This mower does that but it's not suited for anything but smaller yards. The grass catcher does not work that well because most of the grass does not go into the bag and the grass that does sits closely to the blades & starts to interfere. The handle angle moves as designed but the angle makes a big difference in the cut of the grass. You have to push down & still move the mower forward for the best cut. I believe the inconsistent angle of the handle led to an uneven cut. If you have a small yard and can cut every 2-3 days then this is a good mower for you. ... show more

  • Clean cutting, mows great
Pattern Name: Lawn Mower Style: 14-Inch, 5-Blade with Grass Catcher
I mow every day or every other day. I have it set to the lowest HOC, about 1/2”. It zips through the grass. I usually oil the blades with wd 40 after each mow, that keeps it moving freely. The push reel mowers are great for getting a nice even cut on your lawn.
