American Lawn Mower Company 1304-14GC 14-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher, Mint

This is the perfect mower for a grass that you can walk in under 20 minutes. If it is bigger than that I would recommend a wider one. The Mower is well built and comes out of the box really sharp. Assembly is under 10 min. The light weight makes it great for either my wife to use and she likes the blue color. We are recently retired and have taken to this as a sort of exercise routine. The leaf catcher works but you have to make sure it is well snaped on or it will fall off a lot. Also it throws grass to the left so works best if moving around the yard in a clockwise pattern

Fantastic reel mower. The mower is very sharp right out of the box. It was easy to assemble and I was able to mow my lawn surprisingly quickly compared to my gas mower that is on its last legs. I’ve owned some cheaper reel mowers in the past and I must say that the build quality and performance on this mower surpassed all expectations.

Reason I took one star away is the grass catcher is made for this model and a larger one. Therefore it is wider and doesn't fit as well as it could. The front edge of the catcher also sits too low to the ground (vs being even all the way across - it kinda sags on the side closest to the blades). This sometimes causes the catcher to get caught on twigs/sticks, etc. or get displaced when I'm mowing some uneven ground in my yard. On to the good stuff. Love the color! Easy to assemble. Lightweight and very maneuverable. Cuts grass nicely. Has adjustment settings on how short to cut grass as well. And . . . Excellent Customer Service. Had a problem with the mower blade getting stuck every so often. Rep explained to me what was happening and that solved the problem. Too much stuff on bar behind the blades. Need to empty catcher more often and not let the grass build up. Probably not explaining this well, but he understood and helped me solve the problem. As you can tell, I'm not familiar with mowing the lawn - ha! Using our power mower was out of the question as I am a petite woman and do not have the strength to pull the cord to start the darn thing! Let alone control it on the big hill section of our yard. Sooo, this manual mower is just what I needed. Just need that grass catcher to fit a little better and it would be perfect. I DO recommend this mower

So it’s pretty much the best thing ever! Effortless functionality and easy to assemble. Love the color! Small yard and battle the worst HOA landscapers (and want to be courteous of neighbors) so I needed something simple to keep up on my desired amount of maintenance. Can’t say enough good things about my first rotary mower. Absolutely recommend

I use this reel mower on my very small backyard, and it does an okay job. I mainly bought it because my HOA wasn’t keeping up with the yard, and weeds from other lawns were spreading into mine. It’s easy to use for a small area, but don’t expect a perfect cut.
