 So far so good. Sep 30, 2009
So far this mower works as well as could be expected. With thicker, deeper grass, sometimes I have to make two passes (in varying directions) to get the grass to my expectations. But, I also did that with the gas mower I had before this one. Overall, I would recommend this product without hesitation. Happy mowing!

Works better than you'd think Jul 01, 2009
Everyone and their mother will tell you that you can't cut tall grass with one of these things, but they don't know what they're talking about. What they really mean to say is that you can't cut tall grass easily or quickly, but you can do it if you raise the bar to its highest setting and adopt a mowing style similar to vacuuming. You'll probably be worn out before you're even halfway done, but it'll work.
The instructions are terrible and so are the little thumb screws they give you to assemble the handle, but I love everything else about this mower. It's heavy enough to plow over the thick spots without jumping off the ground too often and its blades make a very satisfying sound. I have some concerns regarding the longevity of the plastic roller bars, but they let you order replacements, so I'm not too worried. The satisfaction of getting to fire my landlord's gardener and keep the money I was paying him to do absolutely nothing every month makes it all worth it.
Do yourself a favor and pitch the little plastic wing nuts they give you to secure the carriage bolts in place--they hurt your hands and work loose with vibration all the time. Pick up some 6mm locking nuts and impact drive them on instead.

Best mower made Jun 26, 2009
If you have a small enough lawn, consider this mower. I have had mine for about 10 years and have it sharpened every 2. Very low or no other maintenance required. This mower actually cuts the grass (as opposed to most power mowers that "beat" the grass) so it is ok to leave the clippings to mulch. I also purchased a catch bag that attaches behind the blade if I let the grass get too long. Your lawn will love this mower, mine is better than golf course quality...., very even cuts. Blade height is also adjustable. Highly recommended.

 gas free lawn mower Jun 11, 2009
my hubby bought this because it was compact, light weight and gas free. we are in the poconos and have a lot of rocks that would catch in the motor, we went through 2 mowers already. Because this mower is compact, he was able to avoid the rocks in his path. he is satisfied with this mower.

Couldn't be happier... Jun 08, 2009
So first for the reasons why this Great States mower is a great push reel mower, and is probably the best $100 I've spent in a long time:
1) It's the perfect weight - it's not so heavy that you tire easily using it, and it's not so light that it bounces around and doesn't cut the grass.
2) It's a solid piece of equipment. From what I've read of the Scott's reel mower, the handle is flimsy.
3) It was easy to assemble. Took about twenty minutes altogether, and I'm not especially mechanically inclined.
Now for the reasons why I love having a push reel mower in general:
1) The kids can be outside while I'm mowing. No worries about rocks, etc. being thrown around.
2) Extremely quiet compared to mowers with engines (pretty obvious I suppose).
3) No need to deal with slopping gas around or to smell exhaust from the mower. I really enjoy being able to mow the lawn without feeling like I immediately need to take a shower after doing it.
4) I had some trepidations about how effective a tool this would be, but it cuts right through the grass with ease. I haven't had to mow when the grass is extremely long, but because this mower is so much fun (yes, fun) to use, I don't anticipate the grass getting too long, because I'll be using it so frequently.
We have a yard that is a little over 1/3 of an acre - for anyone who has a lawn that size or up to 1/2 an acre, I would definitely recommend this mower. Anything bigger than that, and personally I'd want a riding lawn mower. Five stars, only because I can't rate it higher than that.
