Amazon.com Review
In these modern times, where channel surfing is rapidly becoming the nation's most popular sport, the American Lawn Mower Company suggests to return to a simpler time with this hand push reel mower. The mower runs solely on manpower, thus saving valuable resources such as gasoline, oil, and electricity while simultaneously eliminating the noise and air pollutions frequently associated with fuel-run lawn mowers. Additionally, this mower combines necessary yard work with exercise, improving both the user's lawn and cardiovascular health. Owners of hand push mowers also benefit from a lack of fuel expenses, and may also save by allowing grass clippings to mulch for natural fertilization. This hand push mower provides best results when used on grasses no longer than 3 to 4 inches high. Regular lubrication of the bearings and blades with WD-40 further the success of this mower. The mower features four spider five blades, ball bearing reel. With an adjustable four-section roller, the mower has a cutting length range of 1/2 to 2-1/4 inches. Both the reel and blades are constructed from tempered alloy steel and are held in place by an unbreakable steel plate. The cast iron wheels measure 10 inches in diameter and the mower covers a width of 16 inches. The mower weighs 32 pounds upon shipping with some assembly required. --Jessica Reuling

Summary: back to reel power 2008-09-30
Comment: Mowing a small lawn with a reel mower not only saves on power and pollution but is a form of gentle exercise. This affordable mower makes it doable for a retire like me.

Summary: Came apart in pieces all over my lawn 2008-06-27
Comment: I thought perhaps that I didn't put it together right or that some parts might have been defective, so I returned it and replaced it. But I was right the first time. This thing doesn't stay together long enough to mow an entire lawn. Nuts and bolts flying off in the middle of a push. And, when you actually get it to hold itself together, it just squishes the grass down and doesn't actually cut anything. I found myself using my weed wacker to clean up all the areas this thing didn't get to. Eventually I realized I should just leave this piece of crap in the basement and use the weed wacker on the entire lawn.

Summary: Piece of Junk 2007-07-08
Comment: After buying a reel mower on almost a whim at Lowes, and being amazed at how easy and simple it was, I was sold on the concept of the reel mower. Unfortunately, after going through 4 of those, each one working great for a while, only to have the gears strip after little use, I realized I needed to upgrade. I tried the Great States (same as American Lawn Mower Company) 7 blade reel mower (7 blades because of Bermuda grass). The place that sold it to me, failed to provide a manual, but I found one on the internet. I realized later, after injuring my shoulders from pushing the mower, and working ridiculously hard, that the reel was not adjusted properly when it was sold to me. The reel is designed to cut paper, and it would not cut paper (unlike the Lowe's mower, which did cut paper). The reel was spinning freely, which means it was too loose. I returned it to the shop also, and they said it was bent, and could not be fixed so that it would cut paper. Instead of exchanging it for another one, I got my money back, because of dissatisfaction with other aspects of the Great States/American Lawn Mower mower. The handle places the hands in a narrow grip, which makes it hard to push at times, and led to painful shoulder injuries. The grips on the handle slipped, and added frustration to an already miserable experience. Still, I knew there had to be a better way, and still believed in the concept (and not for environmental reasons, although a surprising amount of pollution is averted). I simply knew that a properly designed reel mower could give a superior cut over a rotary mower, made sense for a small yard without a lot of branches, and was ridiculously easy to store ... almost like putting up a broom or a vacuum cleaner, not to mention the lack of maintenance and noise. So after researching on the internet, I bought the Sunlawn MM2 mower. It is sweet. After taking it outside the first time, my 13 year old daughter asked to use it to mow the lawn. A neighbor asked how I did that. Imagine a teenager asking to mow the yard. )) The Sunlawn comes with an optional grass catcher, which I haven't used yet, and don't plan on using except in the fall prior to overseeding with winter fescue or rye grass. Assembly was a challenge because the instructions are typical ... poorly written and illustrated. The key to both problems encountered was to change the height of the mower cut to easily place parts properly. The Great States/American Lawn Mower reel mower costs less than the Brill or the Sunlawn mowers, but in this case you get what you pay for. The grip of the Sunlawn and Brill mowers is wide, like it should be. The Great States handle is ridiculous, and is not ergonomically correct. FYI, Brill and Sunlawn have many similarities, which why I mentioned Brill, even though I only own the Sunlawn. Amazon has poor delivery times of the Sunlawn, so I cancelled my Amazon order and bought it from Peoplepoweredmachines ... had the mower within 5 days! )) This truly is the way to go for a small, relatively level lawn, with no branches.
