American Lawn Mower Company 1304-14GC 14-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher, Mint

if you are on a low budget, environmentally conscious, do not like loud machines, wanna take a few more steps and move your body, have tight paths or a hilly yard, this is the mower. I LOVE IT! l understand the manual feature is not for everybody. But it is a great excuse to burn some calories. It is very durable. The blades are super sharp and perform well. the wheels move great and stable. I have not had it long enough to see when the blades will need sharpening but l think the maintenance will not be more work than other machines.

For the price this is a 5-star product. It is environmentally friendly, requires no maintenance, and cuts grass as you would expect. It doesn't cut super close but good enough to look neat. It's a bit difficult to get all of the clippings off of the mower in between the blades before storage (I choose not to rinse it off for fear of rust). Overall, it's a solid mower and well worth the price.Easy assembly - clear instructions and done in 15 minutes by a non-handy female without any assistance.

I was looking for a Good old-fashioned lawn more for mowing the front and back lawn at our rental house years ago I had an old craftsman lawnmower very similar to this. I put it to the test today after assembling it other than the typical issue of small sticks getting stuck between the blades which was my problem? I just need to remember to rake the yard next time. It worked great I also consider the weight a big plus my old craftsman lawnmower weighed about 10 pounds more than this one. I also love the mint green color.

It’s a little more difficult to push than what’s shown in video however with that being said it is a very well made mower & blades are sharp. Pretty easy to put together. The only con is the basket. Even though I’ve put it in different positions by adjusting the strap, it just keeps dumping grass back on the blades making it difficult to push & you can’t back up the mower with it on.

Don’t utilize the used-like new option. While you’re saving money, the quality assurance is lacking. I received a broken mower with a missing piece. The cherry on top was probably the grass cuttings and debris in and on the instruction manual, blades, and worn rollers. Quite an inconvenience to have to return something that should not have been sent out in the first place

I new it would love it. I have RA and I can not use my mower anymore it's hard for me to pull the string to get it started. I've used it three times and I do 2 acres, and what an amazing job it does. I don't have to wait on my kids anymore. I get my exercise from it. I loving my new toy. Thank you so much.

This was rather easy to put together, though I struggled a little with the catcher basket. The instructions are not as clear as one would wish. Regardless, I tested it today and it works beautifully. I am really happy with it. I would be more happy if I could figure out how to get the basket on properly. Lol

Reason I took one star away is the grass catcher is made for this model and a larger one. Therefore it is wider and doesn't fit as well as it could. The front edge of the catcher also sits too low to the ground (vs being even all the way across - it kinda sags on the side closest to the blades). This sometimes causes the catcher to get caught on twigs/sticks, etc. or get displaced when I'm mowing some uneven ground in my yard.On to the good stuff.Love the color! Easy to assemble. Lightweight and very maneuverable.Cuts grass nicely. Has adjustment settings on how short to cut grass as well.And . . . Excellent Customer Service. Had a problem with the mower blade getting stuck every so often. Rep explained to me what was happening and that solved the problem.Too much stuff on bar behind the blades. Need to empty catcher more often and not let the grass build up. Probably not explaining this well, but he understood and helped me solve the problem.As you can tell, I'm not familiar with mowing the lawn - ha! Using our power mower was out of the question as I am a petite woman and do not have the strength to pull the cord to start the darn thing! Let alone control it on the big hill section of our yard.Sooo, this manual mower is just what I needed. Just need that grass catcher to fit a little better and it would be perfect.I DO recommend this mower
