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.

The cutting portion of the mower seems well built and solid. The handle and arms of the product are terribly weak. Why would any engineer design such a poor quality handle? The product is only as good as its weakest link and the handle scores a minus 2 and the mower scores a plus 4 giving a net score of plus 2.
This could be a great product with just a little more thought put into the design of the handle supports.
 My new hippie mower May 9, 2008
Prior to purchasing this reel mower I read all the reviews at the time and found most loved it and some found it to be a lot of work. I had also used similar reel mowers in the past and enjoyed them, no fuel to purchase much lower yearly maintenance, etc. It is of course a human powered mower with some natural resistance to get the blades going, but not hard or miserable by any stretch. Our lawn became smaller in the last year and I didn't want to use our power smoker of a gas mower any longer.
So, far (1 1/2 months) the mower works great, was easy to assemble, and is easy to adjust cutting height. This mower has one of the highest cut settings I could find to ensure good water retention in our lawn soil. Also the two rear wheels make turning easy and there was no adjustment necessary out of the box to have an even deck height.
On the downside only two things you can't muscle the mower into tight places that involve a twist the handle will twist a little as well. Second and of not much concern, if the lawn is cut when really tall there will be some areas that flatten out and don't get cut. So you'll have to take another pass, although I had to do this with the gas mower also. Some people in other reviews stated that not all blades were cut dead on even and flat, I don't live on a golf course so some irregularity is fine with me, it looks more natural, grass was never intended for yards in the first place.

I wanted a "greener" way to mow the yard. After comparing electric and reel mowers, I opted to buy the Scott's Classic. When I opened the box I was pretty skeptical at how this thing was gonna cut my yard. The only two things I needed to do out of the box were to attach the handle and change the cutting depth. Both were simple. 30 minutes later I was cutting my yard. I have to admit, it's intoxicating to cut grass with this mower. No loud motor, no smelly fumes, no vibrations....just a nice quieter "whish" as the blades move. I was very surprised at how easy the mower was to push. It was actually easier than a heavier gas mower. One of the best features of this mower is how nice it manicures the grass. Golf course quality!!! WOW!
The only draw back to this mower is that you cannot let your grass get too high between mowings. Higher grass is harder to cut. It also has trouble with certain tall and thick weeds but I just pull them as I go. No biggie! I love this mower and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a greener approach to a beautiful yard.
A mower that doesn't cut the grass May 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this recently for a small lawn. But if the grass is even two inches high, the mower leaves uncut streaks requiring a second pass over these.
Consumer Reports recently commented on this power and said to give it a pass as it doesn't do a good job of cutting the grass.
I'm rather disappointed.

I'm totally into the whole "green" thing so I was anxious to chuck my gas mower for the old fashioned reel mower. The first time out was a little rough (actually I thought I was going to have a heartattack!). Every twig would cause me to stop and have to bend over and take the twig out. The second week was better. I love the quietness, I'm getting stronger, and getting exercise. If Americans had to use this on an average lawn, we'd all be slim! Anyway, I really do like this and I'm ready to put my gas mower onto Craigs list!
