Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Product Description:
The American Lawn Mower Company 16-inch bent reel mower is a simple, efficient, and effective blade-and-reel mower, fueled by environmentally-friendly manpower and specifically designed to cut low-growing, creeping grasses. Made of durable tempered alloy steel with an unbreakable steel side plate, this 4-spider, 7-blade, ball bearing reel design gives you cutting heights ranging from 1/2 inch to 2-1/4 inches using the adjustable 7-section roller and 3-position adjustable wheel height. This mower features durable 10-inch composite wheels with radial tread tires and molded hub caps, 1-inch torsion bar frame, flare-style painted handles with cushioned grips, and a 16-inch cutting width for quick, maneuverable action. This mower can be put together quickly in 10 to 15 minutes.

Amazon.com Review:
American Lawn Mower's 16-inch bent reel mower is efficient and effective--no unnecessary attachments, no fancy gewgaws, just a serious blade-and-reel unit of tempered alloy steel with a few height adjustments for different levels of grass. The knife blades are sharp and strong, and, though the mower is light enough to carry, it's got enough heft for proper traction on slick grass. Assembly doesn't take long--10 or 15 minutes is about all. The handle cushions are cushier than on some other models and especially easy to put on--unfortunately, they come off as easily as they go on.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Push Lawn Mower
The 16" American Lawn Mower is perfect for my small lawn area. It's just like the old iron mower I pushed as a kid . . . but lighter and much, much easier to maneuver. Size, weight and quality are great. Appears to be American made.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Seems Fine!
I have used the mower about 6 times now. It works perfectly. I use it to trim area close to my house. I have another reel mower for main yard. It cuts everything in sight! Don't forget to spray down with WD40 when done.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Terrific
The instructions were so easy to follow and it was very easy to assemble. The lawn mower works great and was the cheapest one around. The delivery and the exchange was the easiest I've ever done. Thanks again. Will definitely find other items to order.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Frustrated in the extreme!
I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong, considering all the mostly favorable reviews for this mower. I had a really difficult time the first time I used it, but I had let the grass get too long and assumed that it would be easier next time. Well, no, not so much! It just about kills me trying to push this thing, regardless of how much grass has or has not grown. I frankly don't know one type of grass from another another but my lawn service told me I had bermuda, which was my reason ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More Than Meets My Expectations
I needed a mower for the small lawn in back of our home. This push reel mower which has seven blades proved to be a good choice.

This is an easy unit to assemble. Out of box you have a complete mower assembly. All you need to do is add the handle. The mower handle consists of four pieces of metal tubing. These are held together by three ΒΌ" machine bolts and three lock nuts. The tools I used for assembly are a 7/16" wrench, a 7/16" socket and a pair of pliers. There are two studs ... Read More
