Amazon.com Review
American Lawn Mower's 16-inch bent reel mower is efficient and effective--no unnecessary attachments, no fancy gewgaws, just a serious blade-and-reel unit of tempered alloy steel with a few height adjustments for different levels of grass. The knife blades are sharp and strong, and, though the mower is light enough to carry, it's got enough heft for proper traction on slick grass. Assembly doesn't take long--10 or 15 minutes is about all. The handle cushions are cushier than on some other models and especially easy to put on--unfortunately, they come off as easily as they go on.

 Great mower November 16, 2009
D. Marrs (El Centro, Ca.)
I bought this mower to try and cut our expenses, gas, oil etc. As a kid I remember using one and was pleasantly surprised at the heavy duty construction and ease of use. It cuts like butter, we have a bermuda grass lawn. I will never go back to gasoline driven mowers.
great mower!!!! November 13, 2009
James E. Barnhill Jr.
I just got it yesterday and put it together this morning, it took about 10 min. and I adjusted the blades to have less contact, as the paint on the blades needs to where off. The mower is well made and cuts great and a lot lower than my power mower.
I cut my yard two weeks ago with my power mower and it is Bermuda grass and a hybrid mix it turner brown and look very bad.
The only thing that I would change is to put the bottom of the handle on the mower before you put it together as it is easier to get it on that way and oil the mower before the first use.
Well, on to my first use, I cut my yard in about 20 min. and it was the easiest that it has been in 3 years the mower is very easy to push and does a great job cutting the grass. I just don't Know what took me so long to try one, I will not go back to my power mower! I would highly recommend it to everyone, it is one fantastic mower.
Perfect for my bent grass lawn November 2, 2009
Book Guy (MA)
I have a bent grass lawn which this mower was designed to cut. Bent grass is used on golf courses in the North because it can be mowed very low and fills in to form a carpet like surface. You can't mow it with a rotary mower. I have had a bent grass lawn for 20 years. I used this mower for an entire growing season and it has exceeded my expectations for the very low price. I am able to take it down to 1/2 inch where bent grass thrives. By taking bent grass to that level you get a much thicker lawn. The extra blades in this mower cut the lawn more cleanly although I usually cut it twice at a 90 deg angle. My lawn looks like a golf tee at a really expensive country club. A couple of notes. This mower is not designed to take 2 inches off your lawn because you only mow twice a month. It will does not handle rough surfaces very well. By the way, a push mower like this is the fastest way to cut a small lawn. Young children can easily push this mower as long as you don't let the lawn grow too high. I can mow early in the morning, late at night without bothering anyone. Small lawn - push mower is the only way to go.
 Good but not perfect August 28, 2009
Van Johnson Jr. (Baltimore, MD)
Good mower, but as the another reviewer commented, not good with tall grass. Otherwise, it's easy to assemble, easy to maintenance, sturdy and otherwise reliable. Just get a string trimmer for all those tall blades of grass.
quiet and powerful August 15, 2009
M. Nadermann
Assembly was quick - five minutes. Then, I went to just push it to see how it felt and I ended up mowing the entire lawn (~800 sq feet) in fifteen minutes, quietly and honest, without breaking a sweat! (It's 80 and humid and in tight jeans.) The lawn hadn't been mowed in six weeks and was pretty long. This mower cut it all. Usually my husband does the lawn. He is going to be so impressed. It is no harder to push than a gas mower. One problem mentioned elsewhere I had too: the nut came off the top bolt. I think I just need to get a washer. It was fine I just held the handlebars together in place to finish the job.
