About American Lawn Mower Company 1725-16GC 16-inch 7-Blade Reel Mower
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
91% found it easy to maneuver; however, 9% struggled with turns or navigating around obstacles
It is easier to steer the mower with both hands, although it can be pushed with one hand.
The wheels come on the highest setting and I'm not sure why they decided to do this as most people who buy a reel mower want to cut their grass low.
85% appreciated its relatively quiet operation
I compared this lawn mower with gas engine mowers and found that it produces less noise.
91% found it easy to maintain and clean
After cutting the grass, I suggest applying a light coating of WD40 to the blades to extend their life.
73% found it easy to adjust height; however, 27% experienced difficulty with the adjustment mechanism
The wheels of the mower come on the highest setting, which is not ideal for most people who buy a reel mower to cut their grass low.
88% appreciated its grass collection system; however, 12% encountered issues like clogging or spilling
I am very satisfied with the mower's performance. It is light, easy to push, and cuts the grass at the desired height.
The assembly was not too challenging, but clearer instructions, especially regarding where to attach the handle to the mower body, would be beneficial.
I have noticed that the grass catcher captures around 60%-70% of the grass, but it occasionally detaches during use. Improvements in this area would make it even better.
91% found the handle comfortable and ergonomically designed
I found it easier to push the mower by leaning my hips into it and walking, rather than using the straight arm on the handles method.
89% found it provided a clean and even cut
I compared the cut of this mower to a standard lawn mower and it is nice and clean like a scissor.
For longer grass, I may need to make occasional passes, but after a couple of back-and-forths, I can successfully cut most tall grass.
