Scotts Outdoor Power Tools 2000-20S 20-Inch 5-Blade Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower, Green

I honestly didn't really expect this to be up to the job I had in mind for it...but it has proved me completely wrong I'm happy to say! We have a croft (smallholding) that has no power and I'm rubbish at starting petrol mowers, but we needed a solution to keep the long, rough grass under control now that the growing season is under way. The width of this cutting blade seemed great, so for the price it had to be worth a try. It has done a fabulous job! I gave everything a first cut on the middle setting to clear tussocks, but subsequent cuts can now be on the lowest setting. Downhill, it's a breeze. Uphill requires a bit of a running start and some welly, but someone stronger than me, (a skinny 56 Yr old woman) might even manage a standing start! It's very sharp and I bought the blade sharpener too to keep it that way. I love it and can't recommend it highly enough. It doesn't cut the shortest I've ever seen but for my purposes that's ideal.

This is the Porsche of reel mowers: easy to push, lightweight, easy to sharpen (with an auxiliary sharpening kit, $25.00), well-engineered and nicely painted. It can be set to five different cutting levels in three ranges, moving from very low (1") to high (2.5"). Out of the box it comes adjusted to the highest range, but this can be changed to one of the two lower ranges fairly easily by removing the wheels. There are several youTube videos that explain how to do this. It is important to know that push mowers don't handle very long grass or weeds very well. On the other hand, they do a great job of manicuring lawns to a uniform height. Unlike power movers, they actually cut the leaves rather than ripping off the tops. And (of course) the Scott's 2000 is good on gas and good for the environment, and it's not going to wake up the baby.

It's exactly as expected... it can be used slowly or you can go fast if you want. It will stop (jam) with sticks, but just turn it to the side and shake and it falls out. It's great for maintaining... if your grass is too tall or has tall dandelions... it won't cut those, it just leaves them standing tall. Lol. Overall, it's what I wanted to just do a quick maintenance of the lawn... bigger job, I use my lawnmower or tractor. ;)

Réellement GENIALE. Très belle avec ses couleurs et un fini remarquable. On apprécie "aucun outil nécessaire" pour le montage et...C'EST EXACT. Tout s'enclenche en quelques minutes. Très maniable, elle très rassurante.et la qualité est au rendez-vous. L'herbe était un peu haute, mais en croisant on arrive a faire un travail absolument parfait. Après quatre heures non stop, elle a fait un travail impressionnant mais surtout je ne ressens pas de fatigue. Il n'y a aucune comparaison avec les autres tondeuses, ou les débroussailleuses, on ne ressent aucune tension, on va à son rythme, attentif mais "zen". Depuis des années nettoyer mon grand terrain -qui de plus n'est pas très plat- était un grand souci, mais ce soir je sais que c'est avec une grande légèreté que je reprendrai cette "aventure", de plus aucun souci de charge, aucun souci de la peur d'une pierre projetée, aucun souci de fil... Très sincèrement je recommande absolument quel que soit votre force ou votre âge, on peut aller à son rythme, elle vous suit tout simplement, et elle est très stable avec ses deux roues arrières. Juste un dernier mot : un très grand "merci".

Did a lot of research on reel mowers. Was skeptical but took the plunge and am very happy. Pros: Assembled in 10minutes Sturdy simple construction Minimal storage space 20” cut width, best going Easy to adjust heights Sharp blades and ready to go out of box Silent and no pollution and gas/oil needed Relaxing and quiet and easy to push Cons: Takes a bit of learning getting the grass at the right angle. Start high to get the high grass strands then reduce to get a lower all round even cut. Not great for bigger lawns since you might have to run over the same spots a few times Update: Alas, i went back to gas. The number one thing you absolutely must do with this mower is keep up with regular mowings. About every few days (depending on growth rate). If you slack, the grass will get too long to cut. IF you can keep up, its a great little mower. But it only takes missing the max growth height once to get the mess started.
