14-inch cutting width.

Corrosion resistant, zinc-plated handle with plastic grips.
Heat treated blades stay sharp longer, making a quality cut.

Easy to put together, use and takes up so little space in the garage. If your lawn mower breaks down and you need to purchase a new one, I would highly recommend this push mower - no mechanical maintenance. The bonus this mower provides? Even our six year can mow the lawn.

I love this mower! It does a better job on what I cut then a professional mower does on the rest of the yard. Assembly was a snap, only the handle bars had to be put on. The reel and wheels were assembled in the factory. It is excellent in extremely bumpy areas, extreme grades, and very hilly areas. The mower is very easy to push anywhere and easily climbs steep hills. Also the 14 inch width is perfect for tighter areas, like between flower beds and pathways. After weeks of mowing I don't have to sharpen blades, check oil or mess around with fuses. Just a nice brushing to get the clipping off her and some WD-40 as recommended.

I named my girl Miss America. She certainly can stop traffic. People seemed amazed that she can do the work they use massive lawn tractors for. Yes, she cuts extremely tall (a foot or higher) grass. She just needs a few passes to make a fine all-natural green manure out of it.

This is a great lawn mower. It is easy to use and requires no maintenance. My front yard has a steep slope, and this lawn mower is light enough to push up the hill. The cut is great, and doesn't leave clippings floating on top. The only issue you may run into is if you let your grass grow above ankle high... it will be a struggle, but the little guy will still be able to cut it down.

Have a spare yard that needs trimming and mowing but not much. Don't need power, except mine and this little precision mower works just fine. Assembly required but not much.

I purchased this product to take care of a small lawn in front of our townhouse. After planting Zoysia sod and watching the regular maintenance crew butcher the young lawn I decided that it would be better to just do the task myself.

Investigation revealed the great benefit of using a push mower including superior cutting action, lack of fumes, noise or other maintenance required by power mowers, and the genuine satisfaction of being more in touch with your lawn. The Zoysia grew very quickly and thick, it was significantly higher than recommended when the mower arrived and I was anxious to try it out.

Assembly consisted of attaching the handle, about 10 minutes total, and the mower was perfectly set up from the factory for a smooth, even cut. This mower is not only mechanically beautiful but the spinning reel and scissoring swish of the blades is almost musical and far more soothing than the roar and fumes of a gasoline engine.

20 minutes from start to finish, including optional crosscutting, produced a lawn as smooth as a golf course with nothing but fine mulch shavings left behind. The cut was slightly low out of the box but all adjustments are simple after reading the small owners manual. Clean up is easy; a light brushing and spray with WD-40 is all it needs. The blades should stay sharp for several years and are easy to resharpen in any case. I highly recommend this mower to anyone with a small to medium yard, it weighs only 16 pounds, is considerably easier to push than expected and does an outstanding job.
