18-Inch Quiet Cut Reel Lawn Mower

I had my brother assemble it for me since the reviews made it look a bit confusing. He didn’t report having any problems and it didn’t take him very long. I’m just starting to use it. The wheels do squeak, but that’s been my only concern. It seems to be cutting very well. Sure, I do go over the same spots more than once, but It’s not a big deal. It looks fine after just one pass. I’m just trying to cut off as much as possible, so it doesn’t get out of hand. I’ve found it to be rather therapeutic. I love the soft whirring sound it makes as opposed to a noisy gas mower. I can even mow at night and not worry about disturbing anyone. The lever for setting cutting height is fast and very easy to use and the whole mower is lightweight enough that I haven’t had any problems pushing it thus far (I’m a small female). The V handle design makes it easy to throw my weight into it if necessary. I almost had second thoughts about ordering this mower when I noticed mowers from American Lawn Mower Co. were slightly higher rated, but the box indicates this mower is distributed by them, too. All in all, I’ve been extremely pleased so far. Great, environment-friendly little mower!
