Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Look, I wanted to wait to write a review on this product until I used it for at least 3 months, and let me tell you this mower RUNS! Mowing the grass is not enjoyable period, regardless of what mower you have its still WORK. I think peoples expectations of this mower is that it will just cut the yard by its self which obviously is not the case. The mower takes the same amount of effort as pushing a standard gas mower as long as you do not allow the grass to turn into a jungle. Not going to lie the first time I cut it took some additional effort because the grass was so high. But as long as you put in the effort to cut frequently you will love this mower. If your the type of person that just lets the grass go and waits until you cant see out your windows then this mower is NOT for you. The mower has some nice features and upgrades from previous reel mowers. The handle is adjustable to multiple heights. The blades cut to the outside of the wheels so you get a nice wide cutting path. Blade height adjustments are easy, just one lever chooses height of cut. Blade adjustments are easy in 3 months I had to adjust the blades once, which is simply just turning 4 bolts and taking a test piece of paper and running it through the blades to make sure it cuts. Very simple maintenance process. Biggest thing is this mower is chain driven. Most reel mowers ive seen have a plastic gearing system which are prone to breaking/stripping. Gear ratio is good and really gets the blade spinning fast even from a walking pace. The cut is smooth but from time to time it will miss a blade or two. I usually take two passes over the same spot to ensure it is even as possible.The mower does improve the quality of the grass, standard gas mowers tear and rip grass while this mower gives a clean cut like scissors and gives it a cleaner look. And best of all NO GAS, NO NOISE i start cutting my lawn at 6-7 in the morning without disturbing the neighbors and while its still cool in the mornings, huge plus! Overall the mower is great for those who are not lazy and consistently keep up with their lawn.
