I’m not knocking people with allergies; I have food and pet allergies and they suck, and it sucks when people make light of them. But with my former gas powered mower, I was convinced I was allergic to grass. Sneezing fits galore. Every. Time. $#%^ you, cut grass.With this, I might, MIGHT, sneeze once. Because there’s no gas exhaust fumes blowing up into my face, there’s no huge kick up of whatever I just mowed: dirt, grass, whatever.So my point is, you really might not be allergic to grass. You might be allergic to gas powered mowers. If I could cure my food and pet allergies this easily . . .I’ve bought this twice. They do require a bit of a learning curve. Like do not go over rocks or roots, flip this over so that the rear stabilizer wheel isn’t touching the ground when going over sidewalks or driveways (and the blades won’t spin). I didn’t do that with my first one, and compromised the rear stabilizer wheel, which you need to run this. It’s expensive to replace, near $40 with taxes and shipping from the company’s website, so I just bought a new mower. I did get 4 years out of my first mower, so I got my money’s worth.The new mower seems like they addressed that issue; the rear stabilizer wheel looks much tougher. The blades are also sharper than my previous one (you can sharpen these with sharpening compound by removing one wheel and cranking the mechanism backwards; I’m sure there are detailed instructions out there on the vast Internets, and you can do that with ALL of these, including the wooden ones from the 50s you might find at yard sales for pennies). I anticipate, now that I know what I’m doing, the new one will last me far beyond 4 years.Another huge plus is you save on gas here, because this requires no gas. You also save on a gym membership, as this is quite the workout but not undoable. Like pushing baby carriages or shopping carts. And saves on time! No more filling the tank (and spilling gas) no more checking the oil and pressing the primer and pulling the rip cord and unclogging the clumps of cut grass from the blades and cursing the stupid, much heavier gas mower for not working (and sneezing, sneezing, sneezing all the while). This takes me about the same time as the gas mower did, and I’m just mowing here, casually walking along appreciating nature.It’s super easy to put together, no crazy hand or wrist strength required (future sharpening of the blades will require some hand and wrist strength). About the only downside is that twigs and leaves and other small objects can get caught in the blades and will stop this. Full stop. It’s more of an annoyance, as your nice momentum will come to a sudden jerking halt. But it’s part of the learning curve if you don’t want to rake your lawn every time.Love the red color. Amazon offers these at the cheapest prices I’ve come across (remember I had to look for a replacement, was even waiting for the VINE gods to drop one, which never happened *boo*) and they often fluctuate low, even appear on Amazon’s warehouse “used” (my second one only had a damaged box mwhahaha, love the warehouse sometimes).So I highly recommend this. Really a beautiful piece of engineering that I wish I’d taken a chance on sooner. Take care of it a bit and it’ll take care of you.

My husband did not want to buy this and thought it would be so dumb to have a push lawn mower , that isn't motorized. But we have a small lawn so there's really no point in Us having a huge lawn mower that takes gas or electric. So finally I talked him into it And this thing is great the first time you use it if you haven't Mowed the lawn in a while It will be difficult to mow because of the height of the grass. But after some upkeep , you'll be fine. The other thing to keep in mind is if you get stuck on a clump of grass. That's kind of thick. It does take a bit to get it cut but it's really not bad. Personally, I love mowing the lawn because of this thing. It's a good workout and it's quiet , and you can do it at any time of the day , so you're not disturbing anyone. It's also light, so if you're living in a place where you're in a row home and you're in the middle this way you can carry it through your house to the front or back. And it's not too heavy to carry. That way , you don't have to walk it down the alley or figure out something else. It's honestly really nice and such a good workout like I said, and it makes me really enjoy mowing the lawn. as a short woman it's not very hard to push. I am pretty strong but I'm also really short. So big things are kind of hard for me to move if they're too tall but it's not bad for me. I'm very much an outdoor person. So I like taking care of the yard and I also love being independent so this way I don't need to constantly ask my husband who's super tall to help me pick things up or move them. And I can just do it on my own. I wish we never got away from using lawn mowers like this. It really is great, especially if you have a small lawn, but even if you had a big lawn and you like being outside doing yard work And just working out in general , it's such a great workout , so you should try it. I will say you will need someone to help you put it together if you need a lot of upper body strength. So my husband helped me put the rest together. Because I had a hard time hooking the blades in but it was great. It didn't take long to put together either.

Very compact and lightweight yet very solid build. Excellent quality all around and only took a few minutes to setup. Was mowing the lawn in no time! I'm giving on my gas lawnmower because my yard space is shrinking. This one fits my needs perfectly and I can help the environment at the same time. It's fairly quite and very comfortable in use. Blades are nice and sharp and they had no problem cutting my lawn. If there is a downside to using a manual mower, small debris like twigs will get stuck and stop the blades from spinning. It's a good idea to pick up debris before getting to work cutting.

Works fantastic for when you have a small patch of lawn separate from your main lawn. Great for when it would take longer to get the lawnmower out of storage and ready than doing the job. I use it for a small patch of lawn at the front of the house, between the curve and the side walk. Easy and quick- and easy to clean up as well. I love it.

Der Spindelmäher ist leicht zu montieren, eine Anleitung mit Bildern ist beigefügt. Das Modell ist stabil, meines Erachtens aber auch recht schwer.Mein Modell blockierte zu Beginn sehr stark, das konnte mit etwas Öl im Getriebe und an den Klingen aber gut behoben werden.Das Mähergebnis wird von Mal zu Mal noch besser, aber selbst Mini-Steinchen und Holzstückchen führen zur direkten Blockade.Insgesamt 4/5 Sterne, würde ich wieder kaufen und weiter empfehlen.

I bought this mower for my fenced in back yard around a swimming pool, which I previously cut using a whippersnipper. I absolutely love it. It cuts the grass easily and quickly and the yard looks great. It was pretty easy to put together. Before I purchased it I read reviews that said neighbours commented on it - they weren’t kidding. When I get it out of my garage, several men have stopped by to tell me I’m a liberal hippy. Apparently saving money, fuel and time may affect your future voting preferences. Be warned… but then buy this anyway because it’s a great tool for a good value.

Love love love this mower! We have a "lawn" that is pretty wild with weeds and natural growth more than true grass. I wasn't expecting much out of this, but thought it might help a bit with upkeep in the softer areas of the yard. Well it far outshined the expectations. It's very easy to push and does a beautiful job! While it can't handle especially tall weeds and such, and it does get caught up if there's a stick in the way, it does a great job at maintaining the lawn. I actually find it easier to push than the gas mower and there's no more wrenching on cords to get it started. No needing to store and mix fuel. No fuss, just great results!
