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

The Sound of Silence
»
I bought my mower at a garage sale for $12.00 and I love it. It's perfect for my small townhouse front and back yard. Even though it doesn't get closer than a couple of inches to the house or the fence, it's still close enough to not warrant the purchase of a gas powered weed eater. I just use some hand clippers. My mower was fairly dull when I bought it and had been sharpened incorrectly. I purchased the sharpening kit from Amazon, and now it cuts like a dream. Best of all, no noise or enviromental pollution.

back to reel power

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.

Came apart in pieces all over my lawn
»
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.
