1725-16GS 16-Inch 7-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower

I think that this is an excellent mower for warm season grass that grows short 1/2"-1-1/2 " like Bermuda grass, if grass is maintained and mowed often. It cuts very well. I would not recommend it for tall fescue grass or similar type of grass. It will not cut sticks; it will lock up but just make sure lawn is free of obstructions. I have been using it this whole 2026 growing season. It makes a huge difference using a reel mower as opposed to a regular gas-powered mower. The cut is spectacular. I have had so many compliments asking what I am doing to my yard. I do treat my yard as well as mowing it, with pre and post emergent, and fertilizer. Its light weight and easy to use I would recommend it. I am very happy with it.

Definitely cuts the lawn, I think, superior to many gas and electric powered mowers. It does require some strength and endurance, which is great for the health of this old gieser. You will need to mow it, having the blades cut it twice, which I expect to be the case for reel mowers. It would be best to have a flat ground. I have a lot of small erosion gullies, and mole tunnels on our ground, which do increase the time involved, and the speed that I can go. The mower does great. I cut it low, looks good. I’ve been using a reel mower for a long time. Does not require gas, does not require electricity, but does require manpower. Fantastic. I couldn’t get the leaf catcher to work, not having the speed to throw the grass and leaves into it, and I did have trouble keeping it on the mower. The mower is great.

Wet satisfied with this product. It is simple to build, works well, and almost puts you in a meditative state by the sound and the feels. My only issue is that when even a small stick gets between 2 blades it can halt suddenly. Easy fix but make sure to remove as many sticks as possible before using. Otherwise a great product. Hell of a cardio/upper body workout to boot.

The Mower worked as advertised however the unit was delivered with a defective Grass Catcher. Having difficulty getting it replaced. Five stars for unit One star for catcher. Average 3 stars.

Sorry American Lawn Mower Company, your 7 blade mower is no better that the 5 blade Scotts Reel Mower. After using the Scotts 5 blade Reel mower for about 10 full cuts of my small 2000 sqft hybrid bermuda yard, I couldn't take the frustration anymore of the washboard look of my turf and having to stop every five feet to restart in order to regain reel speed. So, I returned it to Home Depot and purchased the 7 blade reel mower from American Lawn Mower Company. It was delivered and used today, 6/30/23, for the first time. Very disappointed in this mower. If any of you mower manufacturers want to corner the market on manual reel mowers make one that works on short Bermuda because I am convinced there isn't one that exists. I'll pay twice the price if you'll make one that works. The only way I can even make one good pass on my turf is to push it forward very quickly with my arms (to maximize reel speed) and stop. Then repeat, then repeat then repeat. If I try to maintain any sort of consistent speed I will come to a thicker patch of Bermuda and the wheels will slide across the turf because the reel is bogging down. You can see in the photo I posted that I am not cutting a lot of length off. The barely distinguishable contrast in the grass height is the amount of grass length I am cutting off. I am cutting at 3/4"-1" height. The only thing I know to try is the raise the cut and see if it works better. To the manufacturer: I challenge you to visit me here in NC and see your own equipment at work. I am serious. Maybe you can make some improvements to your design to satisfy the reel mower fans out there. Until then, I guess I will be shopping for a gas powered reel mower to get the job done. Please don't reply to my review with a thank you and that you value customer feedback. Instead, make a machine that works. Let me point out, before anyone asks or questions my review...the grass wasn't wet, I wasn't cutting more than a 1/3 of the blade, I was walking at a pace to maintain reel speed but not bog down the reel, and I am very experienced in turf maintenance.

Great lawn mower. Easy to put together. Easy to clean. Easy to adjust. Sturdy and does not take lot of pusy to cut;

I’ve used this lawnmower about 7 times now. Initially there were things “off” about this like the parts werent snug from the arm to actual blade device. The grass doesn’t go into the basket, and doesn’t hold much either. Constantly having to push it back while mowing. The lawn part: The grass in my small yard has grown in and this mower doesn’t function well in thicker grass areas. If there is a piece of bark or twig it gets caught and I have to remove it which scares me a little. Also the parts that hold the screws on the arms just fell off in the grass during use, they are the same color as the grass and are lost forever. I did put them on tight so not sure why that happened. Spend the money and get a better mower. This one isn’t it.

I love this mower, I always used gas before but never cared for the noise and storing the gas. Thought about battery mowers but was concerned about the cost of replacement batteries and the long-term availability of them. Plus, a good battery mower is expensive. I live in South Carolina, so I’ve mowed my lawn 10+ times already. I have a total of 2,300 ft^2, so a small lawn. Takes me 15-20 minutes to cut it. Mine came with the bag, which, although it works, could be better. I cut my lawn every 3-4 days to avoid it getting too high. I bought the seven-blade model because I felt it would be better than the five-blade. More blades have less chance of pushing the grass before the next blade cuts it. Kinda like a six-blade razor vs a one-blade. Once I’m done mowing, I spray the blades with a dry lube or WD-40 and put it away. What is different is that with this mower, you can’t get as close to a wall or edge due to the wheel as you can with a rotary mower. Here, the blades are inboard of the wheels vs a rotary that has the deck/blade wider than the wheels.

Bin mit dem Rasenmäher sehr zufrieden, würde wieder kaufen.

Didn't work well for me. Missing grass and poor performance. Not value for money.

Ligera y práctica, corta mejor que las desbrozadoras pues no troza el pasto
