Scotts Classic 20 In. Push Reel Lawn Mower

easy to set up and operate. we use this to keep our 1 acer orderly. It takes strength to push the mower, but that's the point of it.

so easy to put together, easy to use great for small yard

I inherited a used one if these not expecting much of it. A back wheel assembly that wobbled, very dirty blades and frame. First mowing I was convinced this was worth some rehab. I had a hard time removing that back wheel to get to a nut underneath that had become loose and couldn't hold the cutting height assembly in place. Very straightforward but that top nut wasn't loosening! Finally wrench and hammer persuaded it so I could tighten the nut underneath. Then I cleaned the heck out of it, got some valve compound to spiff up and sharpen the blades. A final going over with WD-40 SILICONE spray and I'd compete with any new out if the box reel mower. All this brought home to me the KEY to these reel mowers performing beautifully is maintenance! I started with old and used. Starting with new should be a breeze if it's kept clean and we'll maintained! Don't let gunk build up on something so easy to blow off or hose off and spray with silicone to keep it like new. Keep the blade edges clean and wiped with silicone. It will be a long time before you have any issues! By the way. I'm 70, petite, and have no trouble pushing this mower at top speed because I keep it in top working condition, just like new!

I'm a bit different. I just switched to a reel. Used it for the first time yesterday and fell in love with it! So easy and light weight. The cut is amazing! Highly suggest this for a first reel! I'm sold!

Have struggled with this unit for two years to cut about 500 sf of lawn. Usually needs two passes, north-south and east-west to cut the grass and it still leaves tufts of grass. Doesn't really cut well. Generally I go back over the lawn with a weed eater to complete the cutting. If the lawn was any bigger I would have trashed the mower.
