Deanna Bramblett ( northern Idaho ) I bought this engine to reach areas that my lawnmower could not walk. I used it right next to the house and under trees. Not work, but if the grass is long only pushes it further. It also seems to get stuck easily to any area of stone small or irregular. However, for what I bought for work very well for me. I did not want an engine so my daughter could use it.

visith ( Rockville, MD ) This is the part that struck the second time I used this engine (which attaches to the roll): [...] Now I can not even pull the camera back without getting stuck in the ground. I am sure that this is the result of the lack of QC in China, as a pattern cutter as old as this would not be a failure that simple.

Emma Cabello ( Houston ) I love this mower. It 'very easy to assemble and use. My ten year old son can use the machine without any problem. Sticks attacked so clean before or during the stick. My lawn looks great.

Juandarin ( USA ) If you are looking for miminize their emissions of carbon dioxide was to be less irritating to invest in a pair of scissors. I do not mind a workout, but it is a waste of strength.

Didn't Like It ( Dallas, TX USA ) I bought this mower, and have been using it for a year, and I love it. I chose a reel mower for one reason: SIMPLICITY. No gas. No spark plugs to replace. No cord to pull. No exhaust. No dust blowing everywhere. No noisy motor.
The good:
1) Quiet, inexpensive, light weight, and easy to push.
2) Small storage footprint (about 12"x20").
3) Easy to maintain. WD40 before and after each use. Adjust stationary blade 1-2 times per year (or as needed). Sharpen reel blades every 1-2 years. If you think your blades need sharpening and you've never adjusted the stationary blade, the blade just needs to be adjusted. Ditto if you took the mower out of the box and it doesn't cut properly. Adjust it!
4) Promotes good lawn-care habits (see below)
The bad:
1) This mower is designed to cut grass. It WILL get stuck on every single twig you roll over. I typically spend 1-2 minutes picking up twigs/sticks before I mow, and it still gets stuck on 5-10 unseen sticks. All you have to do is stop, back up, use your shoe to spin the blade backwards (which dislodges the stick), back up some more, pick up the stick, give it a stern talking to, and then eject said twig from your lawn.
2) In my experience, gas powered motors get a little closer to borders (fence, flower box, etc.) expect to spend a little more time with the weed trimmer if you use a reel mower.
3) This mower is designed to cut grass. It is not a gas-powered vacuum for your yard. This will not remove clippings or leaves from your yard (there is a clipping catcher bag available, I haven't used it, but I hear it doesn't really work). This is a minor annoyance, but it does promote leaving the clippings on the grass, which is good for your yard. Those bags full of grass clippings that your father used to cart off the lawn are packed full of nutrients and water, leave them on and you'll use a lot less fertilizer.
4) This mower is good for trimming any where from 1/2 inch to 6 inches off of your grass. If your yard is a forest of weeds, this mower will likely not do much damage. This promotes another good habit - cutting regularly and removing (instead of just cutting) weeds. You should only be cutting the top 1/4th of your grass; if you're cutting it in half you're damaging it.
5) I have a small patch of bermuda (fine blade) grass in my lawn. The rest is St. Augustine (coarse blade). This mower cuts the coarse bladed grass like a champ, but the finer grass usually needs 2 passes before it looks good.
