I'm very pleased with this mower, and feel like I got really good value on this purchase. Assembled by myself in about 10 minutes. And it's very sharp right out of the box, and easy to clean, so it should stay sharp for a good long while. Cuts grass that's too tall for a motorized mower to get through, and a second pass mulched it well enough that there was no dead dried-out grass lying around the next day. When we keep up with mowing, our (admittedly quite small) yards only take ~20 minutes each, and because there's no motor I can easily listen to podcasts/audiobooks/music while mowing. It's quite lightweight and easy to maneuver, too, so it honestly barely feels like work to do the lawn. Which is good, because we are NOT lawn people. But this little mower makes our lawn look nice enough to fit into our neighborhood of people who are lawn people with minimal effort - what more can you ask for?P.S. I've had 2 people comment on how well this mower works in the couple months we've been using it. On two separate occasions, a dog walker and a UPS delivery person stopped to tell me how surprising it was to see someone using a reel mower with grass clippings flying up around them as they mowed, and how much better it seems to work than any other reel mower they've seen. I agree, it does work very well, and it's very satisfying to use.
