American Lawn Mower Company 1304-14 14-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower is well made with solid metal parts and sharp blades. Easy to assemble, not too heavy, and does a good job of keeping a small lawn mowed and looking nice. And their Customer Service is nice and helpful.

Well first of all I am 72 years old and 112 lbs and to live alone with my four dogs. This lawn mower is so nice and I can push it with just one hand! It glides through the grass like butter and I wish I had bought it years ago. But I have it now and in fact I just got through cutting my grass and It looks beautiful. I actually don't mind cutting the grass even in 80° heat. The other one I had has a catcher for the grass but as you cut I would have to stop, turn around, tilt the mower and walk back in order for it to throw the clippings out Because as the clipping collected it got harder to push. Grass clippings are great for your yard. This lawn mower has a small catcher and it does collect grass but nowhere near like the other one I have. The clippings just fly over and onto your grass and now and then I do have to turn around and let the clippings that have been collected back into my yard. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with this mower! I did have difficulty putting it together though. Getting that handle around those bolts is a b!tch. I had to turn the mower on its side and lean against The handle pushing as hard as I could and with my free hands lift the handle and try to get it to go over the bolts. I had to stop several times because I mean that's difficult if you're not a strong person. The rest of it was a breeze. It's quiet It cuts well and I also ordered one of the handheld sharpeners for when the blade gets dull I can sharpen them. 😁 I highly recommend getting this mower If you are a single woman you can do your grass with no problem and will wonder why you ever had a man do it for you. 🤷

Love this thing. It has been used for weeks on the dangerous parts of a very large yard and works great at evening up the parts where the large deck mower has a hard time due to the shape of the ground. It is super easy to assemble, fairly easy to push (I often use one hand due to a wrist injury), easy to clean, easy to store and does a really nice short cut.Doesn't like really tall grass or sticks of any diameter. Would be nice if it had a mechanism to unlock the blade height for when debris jams in the blade housing so I don't have to stick whatever tool is handy in there.

Okay first of all, I'd just like to say that I am autistic, and I absolutely LOATHE mowing the lawn. The mower is too loud, the vibrating of the handle makes my arms go numb, and I can never quite pull on the cord hard enough to get it started by myself. I always have to find someone else to turn it on for me. And not to mention the fact that the smell of gasoline gives me a headache.So I finally decided to see if any old-fashioned mowers still existed, because I would much rather deal with something slower and time-consuming if it meant I wouldn't have to deal with using a normal lawn mower.Imagine my surprise when I found that there are /new/ manual lawnmowers, and I can just order them from Amazon!So I decided I had nothing left to lose, and I would give it a try.Best. Decision. EVER.NOTE OF ADVICE: If you have difficulty putting it together (specifically, attaching the handle to the blade part), find someone with more upper-body strength to help you. They'll get it done in two seconds. (it took me half an hour of attempting to do so before I gave up and waited for my sister to get home so she could help me)Also: it only cuts while you're pushing it forward, so all you have to do to move it when you're not cutting is to pull it along behind you.As for cutting grass? I love it. It works perfectly, aside from a few snags on branches that I didn't notice. If you move it forward and back a few times, you can cut even tall weeds! Much easier than pulling them out by hand in the areas that the normal gas mower can't reach.It's not silent, but it's also not the deafening roar of a gas mower. If I had to describe the sound, I'd say it's a whooshing sound, and much much quieter than a gas mower. Plus, you don't have to deal with your arms vibrating or constantly having to turn the mower back on!No more buying gas, no more struggling to pull on the cord hard enough to turn the mower on, and no more complicated wire-pulling to turn it off.All I have to do is push forward, and the grass gets cut. Stop walking, and it stops cutting. It's easy to maneuver, and it's not so heavy that I can't pick it up and carry it up a flight of stairs to my porch if I need to.I'm never using a gas mower again.

Very easy to assemble. Mows the grass well and makes a very sharp and clean cut on the grass. Ensure you are oiling it after every use and it will probably squeak anyway. Lightweight and I love the idea of no gas or batteries. I still use my battery mower for the heavy lifting but this one does cleanup and quick mows. The grass catcher is absolute garbage. The grass catcher is flimsy, falls apart, and if you have to back up for any reason it will fall off. Moreover, the grass catcher only collects about half of the clippings. Mower is a great value, the grass catcher (with slight modification) is only semi-functional.
