Amazon.com Product Review
The Scott's classic reel mower is light, maneuverable, and economical. The business end of this push reel mower is solid, sharp, and everything a reel mower should be, with five heat-treated, knife-sharp steel blades that can be adjusted for nine grass heights with very easy wheel tabs. With its 10-inch wheels, radial tires, and 20-inch cutting width, this mower should enable you to cross whatever terrain and reach whatever hard-to-access rogue patches of grass you desire. There's no soft cushion on the handle, which is too bad, but otherwise, the Scotts Classic is a durable, well-constructed, simple device.

 go green August 30, 2008
We love this mower! We've been using it for 6 weeks now, and have found that we don't miss the gasoline mixing, loud noises from the gas powered mower, or the exhaust one bit. Yes, this mower is a little more work to push, but it is good exercise and I think much better for my body (and ears) than holding on to a vibrating machine for extended periods of time. I've found a can of WD40 helps get this mower going smoothly after it sits for a week or so. Buy this and enjoy the exercise, the clean air, and the quiet!
I love this mower. August 30, 2008
I bought this mower in February for my 1/4 acre lot in the Pacific Northwest. It is a treat to use.
We moved into our first home with a yard last winter and I was unexcited about having to buy and store gas for a mower. I found this reel mower on Amazon on sale for $99 -- such a great purchase. I'm 5'4", my husband's 5'11", and we both find it easy to manuever both while mowing and while carting it from front lawn to back. I find that mowing in neat rows doesn't work very efficiently for me, so I tend to attack the lawn from all different angles. My husband mows in straight lines. We're both happy with the results. I love the height adjusting feature. And it's a stylish, elegant little thing that stores well in the garage.
Apparently there was a batch last winter that was drilled with an incorrect bit. After about 16 uses, the back right wheel fell off. We called Scotts and they mailed us a free replacement. Five days later we were back in business, and it's been working well since.
Works well. Go Narrower for Tight Spaces August 23, 2008
I've been very pleased with the quality of cutting by this mower. It provides a consistent look as long as you don't let your lawn get out of control. However, no push mower does well if you let your grass get too long.
While the wide 20" style may sound appealing, I wouldn't recommend going that wide if your lawn has a lot of things to maneuver around such as trees or curvy landscaping. It's much easier to navigate narrower models around tight turns. The handle on this model isn't sturdy enough to handle much other than back & forth mowing.

First of all, note that the current $92 pricing is down from the $129 Amazon had this for just a couple of months ago. End of the season, I guess, so a good time to save yourself some $$$.
Secondly... I looked at one of these at the local hardware store, and also a similar Craftsman unit at the local Sears. Though lighter than my old gasoline mower, I really didn't feel that I need those extra two smaller wheels of this 20" Scotts - they added weight and impacted maneuverability. And the 20" width model was also not nearly as maneuverable as the 16" and 18" models. Yes, I know you are thinking that you'll cut wider swaths with the 20", but I really find the 16" so much more light and maneuverable that I feel I can whip it around the yard very easily, and get into tight spots. Even my kids enjoy using it. So, please, to maximize the chances you'll enjoy your purchase (and help the environment), you might want to take the time to test drive the different size units.
Thirdly, I noted that one reviewer remarked about the mower being difficult to push, whereby it was skipping and sliding. I noticed this with some of the units I tried in the stores... if they have not been properly lubricated, and most importantly, if the cutting blades are adjusted too tightly against the cutting bar, you can turn the experience into something more strenuous than it needs to be. Just find out the proper method of adjusting the blades for your mower. Think of it like a pair of scissors - they can be overly tightened, sloppy/loose, or just the perfect amount of metal-to-metal contact.
Enjoy you mowers, all.
Excellent buy August 20, 2008
I bought this several months ago when it was a Lightning Deal so I wanted to give it some use before reading a review. I had been looking for a manual reel mower for awhile so I jumped on the deal. I'm glad I did. There's no oil to buy and change, and there's no gas to buy. When I got the mower, the instructions said the blades were adjusted from the factory but mine weren't adjusted well enough to cut evenly. This is only a minor problem though since the adjustment instructions are clear and very easy to understand. The mower is a little harder to push than a regular, non-self-propelled mower but that's why they call it yard WORK. Anybody who wants something easier should just buy a riding mower or get the neighbour kid to do it. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it's made in China and the handle is a bit flimsy.
