Amazon.com Product Description
The Great States 14-inch deluxe hand-reel mower provides a clean, precise, scissor-like cut for most turf grasses -- especially for cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, fescue and rye. With a cutting width of 14 inches and a a cutting height of 1/2- to 1-1/2 inches, the mower has 8-1/2-inch diameter high impact, polymer wheels with integral molded tread. It includes a three-spider one-blade reel, an alloy steel reel, a bed knife blade, and an adjustable, three-section roller. The zinc-plated handle has plastic grips for greater comfort. Assembly is required for this unit. To assure a precise, fine cut, each American/Great States feel mower must pass inspection by cutting paper 1/3000-inch thick -- much thinner than a blade of grass. The mower weighs 19 pounds and comes with a limited 90-day warranty.
Amazon.com Review
When it comes to hand-pushed reel mowers, what you want is low cost and high efficiency. That's what you get with the Great States push reel lawn mower. Though they call it their "Deluxe Hand Reel Mower," there's not much that's deluxe about it, but its simplicity is one of its nice features. When you're pushing a hand mower, fancy attachments are not what you're really after. Strength and easy maneuverability are more important, and the simplicity of the hand reel mower design, with its three height adjustment settings, allows you to do the job and get on with your weekend. The alloy steel reel and bed 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 is easy enough--it doesn't take more than 10 minutes--and there's a limited 90-day warranty.

 great eco friendly alternative to a gas mower! November 7, 2009
P. Sanford
cuts the grass well, keeps it cut evenly, easy to push and maintains it well. i do say it nor any other does well getting an overgrown yard under contril.
Love it! September 28, 2009

I got this lawn mower as a back up to using a gas powered mower for a rather large lumpy lawn in the mountains. It worked wonderfully well as a back up, very sharp and easy to push. Had to use the gas mower when lawn was too long, since the push mower just flattened the grass when too long. I also loved that it is quiet.
 no gas needed September 12, 2009

This type mower is a nifty thing, it cannot be compared to a gas mower cause lets face it, gas mowers are wonderful and easy, until they stop working, then costly. The Reel Mower takes a little effert, if you have pine cones and little sticks from the trees, they stop you fast. Another quirk is that Bahia grass if it gets to tall, this kind of mower just knocks it over.
 sub par September 11, 2009

Very disappointing. Missing parts, wheel fell off, handles tore up, all during the first use.
best purchase i've made in a long time August 23, 2009

i've researched reel type mowers for a while, searching for the perfect one. i haven't been responsible for yard work ever and i just moved into a place where that job rests on my shoulders. so i wanted a mower that was manageable for me and sensible for my smallish yard. this particular mower had great reviews so i bought it. it was delivered to my location in no time, i had it assembled in less than 10 minutes. me and my 8 year old daughter were outside using it and having a blast. our small yard is a mix of steep hills and smooth flat areas but we found the mower could handle it all with ease. i made sure to put WD40 on all cutting edges and moving parts (i'm sure that helped tremendously) and found it wasn't necessary to change the factory settings at all. we got a nice even cut that left the grass about 1 1/2" or so (guestimation). we only had to make one pass over most areas to get an efficient cut (a couple passes for thick weedy grass) and as other people posted, it won't cut weeds much over ankle height and it doesn't like rocks or sticks (luckly my yard has very few of both). i found it MUCH easier to use than a gas mower and less messy. it makes a nice sound as it's cutting the grass and i had a great time with my daughter. we even met a couple neighbors who were curious about our "old fashioned" mower and wanted to try it out.
my only complaint is with the handle bar grips. the foam is very flimsy and doesn't stick to the handle bars. they slip and slide and won't stay in place. i'm sure i can rig them up to stick, but i shouldn't have to do that. the manufacturer should design it with the handle bar grips already stuck on there with some heavy duty glue or something!
other than that, i highly recommend anyone with a smallish yard to try this mower out.
