We looked at all the different larger reel lawn mowers available and chose to carry the Scotts Classic because we feel it is the best large reel mower in regard to price, performance, quality and features.

The Scotts has several features that set it apart from other reel mowers. It has a full 20 inch cutting width, giving it a cut as wide as a traditional gasoline powered lawnmower. It weighs just 30 pounds, which is very light for a mower of this size. Compare that to a walk behind gas mower, which can weigh from 80 to 100 pounds!

The Scotts push lawn mower has a very high 3 inch maximum cutting height, making it ideal for people who like to keep their lawn very tall. (Most people keep their lawn between 1 and 2 inches.)

The Scotts Classic mower is a good choice for tall grasses, like Tall Fescue. Cutting height for the Scotts Classic reel mower can be adjusted to a minimum of 1 inch for people who want to keep their lawn at an average height.

This manual mower has five blades, which is standard for push reel mowers, and the optimal amount of blades for ease of pushing and superior cutting.

The Scotts reel mower also features a unique pair of small back wheels to help reduce drag and increase maneuverability.

It has a one to two year sharpening interval, depending on usage. You'll typically be able to go at least two years with a new mower, and then sharpen every one to two years after that.

The mower body is fully assembled, and you only have to assemble and attach the handle. The handle comes in six pieces and only takes about 15 minutes to put together with an adjustable wrench.

This mower was designed in the United States and was manufactured in the USA until 2007.

It is still the same product from the American Lawnmower Company and made with the same manufacturing equipment, but it is now manufactured in China.

Things to keep in mind with any manual mower

1. Manual reel mowers don't cut tall weeds well (but they do great on grass!) . Because of the design, the reel will roll over tall weeds and dandelions without cutting much. So they aren't a good choice to mow a vacant lot, but they'll do superbly with a grass lawn.

2. If you don't mow weekly, it's going to be much harder to push. You know how a gas mower will bog down when you try to mow grass that hasn't been cut in weeks? Well, it's like that with a reel mower, except you're the motor.

What Our Customers Are Saying:

"I also wanted to let you know that the Scotts Classic works great on Zoysia. I have been in contact with Lars prior to purchasing it and he was not sure how it would work on a patch of Zoysia we have. Our Zoysia is almost all green and growing now, and it works great."
