Buy an Electric Mower August 17, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
My husband bought this mower thinking it would do the job of a 0.5 acre lawn, get him some exercise, and save the environment at the same time. Well - 2 of the 3 yes - but the main purpose of cutting a lawn it does not do well. If you have grass that is patchy (like our back yard) then you cannot tell if it has mowed the grass at all. If you have long weeds, the mower will go right over top of them and they pop right back up! Isn't a lawnmower supposed to cut those? The only area where we have had success with this mower is in the front yard. We have a small patch of grass that is uniform, and there you can tell that the grass has been mowed. It does a pretty good job there. My advice - go get an electric mower. There is a reason why people moved away from mowers like this, and that is because there were better alternatives. If you live in a big city and have a tiny little yard the size of a pool table, then save the money - the scotts is what you want.
Poor Outsourced Import August 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Scotts Elite reel lawn mower is the same Great States lawn mower that I have used for the last 20 years with one exception, it was outsourced. Within two months both reel drive pinions had broken. I replaced them with a 20 year old pinions from a previous mower. The Gears were machined with less material and the hardness of the plastic was not the same as produced 20 years ago. I usually get five years out of a mower before the corrosion and rust make it easier to buy a new model. I have never seen this type of failure before. Then I needed to adjust the cutter bar and found out that the steel adjustment screws had been replace with aluminum. Three of the heads were so corroded with the steel contact bar that they instantly striped. This was after using DW-40 before ever using the mower. Evidently the produced forgot that a phosphate coating is always required when steel is in contact with Aluminum. It seems obvious that this only looks like the mower that I have bought previously and if Scotts is outsourcing their products, you must wonder what chemicals your putting on your lawn.
It's not easy being green July 1, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If your yard isn't big enough to justify an electric mower, and you want to have the lowest possible carbon footprint possible, an old school reel mower is the answer you're looking for. Just be prepared for a good workout as you'll have to cover the same ground at least 3-5 times in each direction, cross-hatch, for anything resembling a clean cut, though you'll definitely need an edger/trimmer to complete the job. Also, if you have a lot of weeds, buy a good weed cutter because they laugh in the face of this particular reel mower. I bought the 16" thinking it would be good enough for my smallish yard, and while it mostly gets the job done, I wish I'd gone for the Scotts 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower #2000-20 instead.
