The Earthwise Power Tools by ALM 16-in push reel mower is a versatile and durable gardening tool that helps you maintain your lawn without noise or carbon emissions. It is capable of cutting bent grass such as Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, and Seashore paspalum. From the Manufacturer The power source behind our mowers hasn't changed much in 100 years. It's still readily available on demand. You can still fuel it for the price of a banana and a glass of milk. It always works when you want it to, and it doesn't leave any residue for the environment to absorb other than a couple of foot prints in a perfectly cut lawn. People- the power behind our mowers in 1895, and the power behind them today. What has changed is the product available to the people. We've applied a century of technology to a good old fashioned idea: the reel lawn mower. Today's reel mowers are lightweight and easy to maneuver. They're ideal for today's smaller lawns, and today's hectic lifestyles. They're always ready when you're ready, and they're almost maintenance free with no spark plugs to foul or engines to clog up. They're good to the environment and they're good to the lawn, snipping the grass for a clean, precise cut. A cut that's helped us carve our niche as the nation's largest manufacturer of in-demand, on-demand reel mowers. We've spent 100 years of perfecting our reel mower designs, streamlining our production processes and searching for the best possible materials to build the best reel mowers possible. And we're proud of all that. But more important still, we've spent the last 100 years, and we'll spend the next 100 more, keeping America Green.

    • 1715-16EW 16" 7-blade - superior to my Fiskars 18" reel max at less than half the price
Size: 16", 7-blade
I really wanted to do a review on the Earthwise 1715-16EW 7-blade push reel mower because it works so well. I have been mowing this year with the Fiskars 18 inch stay sharp max reel mower, and I have had some problems with it. The way the front wheels are so far in front of the cutting bed with the rear wheels so far behind it can make it an issue when mowing on even a gentle hill; the bed drags on the ground and the mower scalps. I also had a problem with any little debris in the yard catching in the reel and stopping the mower. When I purchased the sharpening kit, the first time I received a kit without a crank handle. Had to go through the return process and finally received the full kit. But then when I went to remove the small gear on the reel shaft, I torqued my allen wrench 90* trying to break loose the set screw before the bolt hole finally stripped out. Don't know if they loc-tited the screw or if it was installed with an impact wrench at too high a torque setting. I ended up having to drill/tap the opposite end of the shaft for a 10mm bolt so I could attach a nut driver to backlap and resharpen the "non-contact" blades. Overall the Fiskars is not a bad machine, but for the price it has serious drawbacks. This Earthwise 7-blade mower is superior to the Fiskars at less than half the price (I paid $87 for it - was on sale - suh-weet deal). Took me about 10 minutes to attach the handles and set the height for my yard (I mow at 1.5") and I was out and mowing. The reel turns much faster for the same walking pace than the Fiskars reel and that and the fact that it has 7 blades made mowing today a single-pass effort where previously I would have to pass over the same lane 2x with the Fiskars. The rollers on the back also help keep the Earthwise level when mowing uneven areas as well as far superior when overhanging the landscape edging. Because the cutting bed is centered under the wheels, I do not have any problem with the bed contacting the ground at any location in my yard, which was definitely not the case with the Fiskars. Time will tell if this mower is long-term reliable, but the reel and the bed look and feel well-made, the handles are sturdy and the 10" wheels had no problem with slipping (which I was originally a bit worried about). The only minor gripe I would have is that I would prefer the handles be slightly wider and straight vs angled, but I can rig up something for my comfort very easily (perhaps some bicycle bar-ends or some such thing). I have a residential yard and it takes me about 30 minutes to push mow. It is not a high level of exertion, just a little push with a walk. I was worried about this purchase based on other reviews, but I am pleased that I own this mower and also that it works better than the more expensive one I previously purchased. Anyone want to buy my old Fiskars? lol. ... show more

    • Great mower for short lawns

Awesome mower. My new house had an old neglected lawn with an unknown variety of Bermuda. I recently over seeded Yukon Bermuda and have needed to keep it cut short so that it can overtake the old Bermuda. I’ve been using an 18” 5-blade American lawn mower, but wanted a 7-blade for a cleaner cut with less passes. This definitely did the trick. It’s made by the same company. Great mowers. I’m a fan. I added a metal roller to it that I got here from Amazon, and with a very slight alteration to my grass collector for my 18” mower, I was able to get it to now fit in both mowers. This think cuts rights through the grass. So nice. I love it. ... show more

    • Great precision cut, but be prepared for a workout and stubborn adjustments.
Size: 16", 7-blade

Review Image by Dylan
This Earthwise mower is a bit of a beast—it looks incredibly slick and has that heavy, high-quality feel that lets you know it’s built to last. If you're chasing that ultra-low, golf-course look, this thing actually delivers; it gets lower than almost any manual mower I’ve tried, and the "snip-snip" sound of the blades is honestly therapeutic. However, it’s definitely a "no pain, no gain" situation. The height adjustment is a total chore involving stubborn screws on the wheels and the front, so it’s really the kind of tool you set once for the season and pray you never have to touch again. The real downside is the ergonomics and how sensitive it is. The handle is way too short, which leaves my arms and back aching after a session because the leverage just isn't there. You also have to be obsessive about clearing your lawn first; if it hits even a tiny piece of mulch or a stray twig, it'll "bang" and lock up instantly. It’s a specialized tool for someone who values a precision cut over comfort—if you have the patience for the quirks and a perfectly clean yard, the results look great, but be prepared to put in the physical work. Update after a few month use: need to adjust the blade manually otherwise you cannot cut the grass. ... show more

    • Great Little Reel Mower... especially for the Price!
Size: 16", 7-blade
I bought this to mow my new installed Bermuda turf... (It's hard to crank though... LOL!) it was extremely easy to assemble and the blades were sharp from the factory. I found it very addictive to mow with despite having an expensive Zero Turn mower and a new rotary mower. Obviously the noise level is much lower than a motorized mower and the gas savings are a plus. It is light weight which was perfect for my newly installed turf. I am mowing approximately 3200 sq ft around our house (I use my Zero Turn for the rest of my 3 acres). I have yet to have to sharpen the blades or to adjust the bed knife. IF it ever wears out, I would buy another one immediately!!! My wife is 5'2" and barely 100 lbs and she has NO PROBLEM mowing with it... it is easy to push. When I finish mowing, I WD-40 the bed knife and then run the blades over it by pulling it along my concrete drive to distribute the WD-40 on all the blades. Great mower for the price!!! ... show more

    • Zero Quality Control
Size: 16", 7-blade
Review Image by Joseph Parker
I'll start by saying that the mower works great, maneuvers easily, runs silently and is sharp enough to cut a piece of paper, there is a caveat though, it did not arrive like that. When the mower showed up the reel wasn't true, after making multiple adjustments over the course of an hour I found that the flat blade was catching 4 of the reels while 3 of them free spun. I then spent an additional 2 hours using abrasive compound to even the blades out. From the box, the reel mower was as loud as an electric mower because the reel would screech every rotation, terrible sound. There seems to be an absence of quality control with this brand because the left axel hub isn't pressed flush, I'll likely have to spend another 45 minutes pressing it in correctly. If they marketed this as an off brand mower it would certainly lessen the expectations, but they emphasize the 120 year history of the company & "American quality" which clearly hasn't carried over to the factory in China. If you're expecting a mower that is ready to go out of the box, this isn't the product for you, if you don't mind dropping 4 hours of work to get it to function as advertised, then this might be worth the $20 in savings versus the Scott's brand. Considering I had to shell out $20 to get this product running properly, it would make more sense to just buy a premium brand reel mower, which this is not. Buyer beware. ... show more

    • Quality Product
Size: 16", 7-blade
I am a seventy two year old man with a 2000 sq. ft. yard(not yet a lawn) that I am transitioning to bermuda grass. Previous owner sometime in past had installed bermuda, but lawn had not been maintained and yard consisted of various weeds and a few sprigs of bermuda here and there last year when we moved in. My goal is to have a carpet-like lawn so I am creating the best environment I can for bermuda which includes, among other things, keeping it at about one inch and mowing at least twice a week. After much research I decided on the Earthwise seven blade mower due to reviews stating the seven blade mowers are best for bermuda and provided the smoothest cut. If I was intending to cut a larger area with taller grass of other varieties I would probably have opted for the Fiskars Stay Sharp, but I felt the Earthwise was a better choice for my needs and it cost about $115 as opposed to $200 for the Fiskars. I used it for the first time yesterday and am very pleased. Having not used a mower of this type in about sixty years I was a little apprehensive. Also, I had read several negative comments such as hard to push, flimsy handle that flexes, handles not wide enough, foam cushions on handles not being sturdy enough, hard to maneuver, doesn’t cut close enough to edges, blades and rollers locking up, noisy, and being hard to adjust mowing height. I found the mower to be as easy to push as a non-self propelled power mower. The handle is sturdy with no flex. The handle grips are plenty wide enough as the mower is easy to turn and maneuver. the foam grips seem as sturdy as any other foam grip I have used. I’ve never had a mower that didn’t require edging with a weed eater and this one is no different. I mowed my yard twice yesterday, first at the factory setting and next at a lower setting and had no lockups of any kind. The noise is not offensive and what I expected – sort of a combination of metallic clicking of blades touching the cutting bar and ‘whooshing’ of spinning blades. As far as adjusting cutting height, it is not as easy as some mowers which only require moving a lever as the bolts on either side of the rollers must be removed and re-tightened. However, no tools are required as the nuts that have to be loosened are large plastic wing nuts that I could easily manipulate even though I have some arthritis in my hands. This is not an issue for me anyway as I will likely leave it at the same setting most the time. Sorry about the long review, but I want to be specific as to what I am using it for and why it works for me. Also, I bought a sharpening kit with the mower, but after reading the manual it said with normal use and maintenance the blade will not need to be sharpened for several years. At my age needing to sharpen might not be an issue. ... show more

    • missing E-ring groove and E-ring.
Size: 16", 7-blade
Review Image by Kim
I wanted to like this mower because the cutting performance itself is good, but the assembly experience was extremely frustrating. The owner's manual does a poor job of explaining where the lower handle should be installed. Based on the instructions, I attached it to the rear roller brackets and used the mower several times. The operating position always felt awkward, so I searched online and eventually discovered that the lower handle is actually supposed to be mounted at the center pivot using E-rings. That's when I found an even bigger problem: the mower I received was missing the machined grooves required for the E-rings, and the E-rings themselves were not included in the box. In other words, even if I had known the correct assembly method from the beginning, it would have been impossible to assemble my mower correctly because the necessary machining had never been done. This appears to be a manufacturing quality control issue, made worse by an unclear instruction manual. Customers shouldn't have to search the internet to figure out how to assemble a brand-new product, only to discover that the product itself was manufactured incorrectly. Earthwise needs to improve both its assembly instructions and its quality control. A good product deserves better documentation and proper inspection before it leaves the factory. ... show more

    • Florida grass - make sure to use a 7 blade model
Size: 16", 7-blade
Living in Florida and have St.Augustine Grass, sodded for about a year and a half before using the 7-blade mower. Had to ask my lawn care guy to cut it shorter before I started using it. It's challenging at first and having to "train" the grass to being cut with this mower, it's doing just fine. Bark chips and any small sticks will stop it abruptly, but just back pedal the blades with your foot to reset and it's back running okay. Most of the time, I still have to cut it twice (one way up and then cut it again going the other direction to get everything cut nice. Just have to be patient at first with the thick grass and try not to "push down" against the grass as it will "bog down" and stop. Just takes some patience and practice on pushing it across the top of the lawn. Oh, yes, really important, I steel wool the 7 blades about every other week and apply a thin coat of 3 in 1 oil on all 7 blades and the cutting bar edge after each use, otherwise it'll rust and be real squeaky. If you do that, it'll sound and run really smooth. Love it so far and have saved $115 a month from the lawncare guys who used to cut the grass. Great exercise too. Only wish it were made in Shelbyville Indiana like the original ones my father once had. ... show more
