Works great under 3″ of grass height
I recently purchased the 20″ Scott reel mower. It works really well as long as your grass is under 3″ high.

Not the mower for me….not sure who this is really for.
I bought this mower because I wanted to do my share for the environment and not have to worry about oil and gasoline. In that respect, this mower fits my needs.

Love it! But not for the “perfect” or larger lawn.
I read review after review before buying this. I didn’t want the hassle of a gas mower or an electric so this was it (though I’ve taken some elbowing from my neighbors for having…

Practice Makes Perfect
The Scotts mower was simple to pull out of the box and use. Our lawn is a little bumpy in spots, so we keep it on a lower setting.

Cuts just ok, but tough to adjust
I bought one of these for a small sized lawn in coastal SC. My lawn has St Augustine grass and like many others with 2-star ratings for this item, I found the cut to be…

WORTHLESS IN FLORIDA
The good is that it was easy to assemble.
The bad news is that it is worthless on my Florida lawn.
It will not cut Bahia shoots and the St.

I own a John Deere 4. 5 hp 22 "Gas (4-stroke) self-propelled mulching mower. I believe it sells for about $ 600-700 a decade ago. It is very good, but it needs each year of service, it needs to be cleaned, and shoes, if the grass is wet or too high. I'm not sure what made me look at reel mowers on Amazon. Perhaps it was wondering how I was doing my running on gas transport to the John Deere mower for the service this year. Perhaps I was not surprised when I saw that I had to buy gas twice in one season this year. Having to adjust the carburetor almost every week this season? Breathing exhaust unfiltered? Whatever the reason, I found this mower on Amazon and was intrigued by the idea of a clean, quiet mower. The fact that his method of cutting may be better for my lawn was just a bonus. No gas or tune-up? Even better. Reviews on Amazon are encouraging, but I did a lot more research than that. I look at the Brill Luxus, but it has a maximum cutting height of 1. 8. I do not know about you, but my lawn is not a golf course. Scotts mower This is the only one with a maximum of 3 "cutting height, and I use about 2. 5. Price: Amazon also has the best offer, I find, especially with free delivery. Other sites are charging $ 180 or more, plus shipping. Search: Amazon is asking people not to enter the URL, but a quick Google for "Scotts Classic reel" will display all the sites I used in my research. Assembly: This is crazy, but you should definitely about a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid inside the foam to help to slide the handle. Try to spread it around inside the foam, as far as possible. You can wipe off the excess after installation. Apart from this, the assembly is a breeze. (A 30-minute snap.) First impressions: My 8-year-old son mowed the lawn for the first time. The grass is probably 5 "high and slightly wet, but this mower went right through. There were some places that need a different way, but because the grass was too long. Leaves: The second weekend, the leaves began to fall. I experimented and found that the reel mower can handle sheets of white birch, which are small enough that the mower just throws off the track. However, my 5-year-old son, and I had to rake the leaves larger (like maple). Now that the leaves began to fall seriously, I simply extract the gas from the mower to mulch them, rather than rake. However, I am eager to make a final pass with the coil, and of course, I can not wait until spring. Easy. Quiet. Economical. It just works.

Mowed with this for 3 months before writing review
After thoroughly researching manual lawn mowers and reading numerous reviews, I chose the Scotts 2000-20 push mower on amazon.
