Deluxe Light Push Reel Mower

Description

The Deluxe Light Reel Mower by American Lawnmower is a lighter weight alternative to our Scotts Classic.

This lawnmower has several features that set it apart from other reel mowers. It has an 18 inch cutting width, which is comparable to most electric and gas mowers. It weighs just 27 pounds. Compared to walk behind gas mowers (which can weigh from 80 to 100 pounds), that’s feather light!

Looking for the right push mower? Take a look at our Reel Mower Reviews: Lars’s Quick Picks. When you buy this reel mower, it can be set for a variety of cutting heights from half an inch to 2.5 inches tall, making it ideal for people who like to keep their lawn very tall. (Most people keep their lawn between 1 and 2 inches.)

Mower comes fully assembled, except for the handle. It takes less than 15 minutes to put the handle together and attach it to the mower body and be ready to start mowing.

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. See how to sharpen this reel mower step by step here.
