About Scotts 18-Inch 7-Blade Push Manual Reel Lawn Mower
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
72% found it quiet; however, 28% complained about excessive noise levels
I noticed that the Scotts mower has a loud, unpleasant grating sound, even after applying WD40.
The Scotts mower has a loud, unpleasant grating sound even after applying WD40.
I was surprised to find that the mower creates a continuous high-pitched whiny noise while being pushed. (Removed unnecessary wording)
86% found it easy to maneuver; however, 14% struggled with turns or navigating around obstacles
The handle is convenient with its full and contoured shape, especially if the lawn has any slope.
The lawn mower is easy to maneuver and the blades don't spin when backing up, making it easy to pull back.
After bending the adjuster to get it over the last hump on the rear, I noticed that it tends to rock further forward and is no longer rigidly locked in place.
74% found it low maintenance; however, 26% encountered difficulties with maintenance tasks
To lower the factory setting for bermuda grass, I have to take the assembly apart and reassemble.
88% found it easy to adjust height; however, 12% experienced difficulty with the adjustment mechanism
I discovered an additional adjustment to the front drive wheels that allowed me to lower the height of the lawn mower to one inch.
I can explain how to adjust the height of the mower. Simply detach the main axle, shift it around the reels drive axle axis, and reinsert the drive wheel and axle into the new height range.
My height is over 5 ft and I find the lawn mower handle uncomfortable to use as it is not adjustable.
78% appreciated its grass collection system; however, 22% encountered issues like clogging or spilling
I had trouble collecting the grass and weeds with the mower as the weeds remained tall even after multiple passes.
If the grass is longer and laying flat, I may need to make multiple passes with the mower to avoid uneven patches.
85% found the handle comfortable and ergonomically designed
I find the mower easy to maneuver and the blades don't spin when backing up, making it light and easy to pull back.
I have compared the ergonomics of two different walk-behind-lawn-mowers and prefer the relative workout of Fiskars, especially when the results are superior.
86% found it provided a clean and even cut
I was able to cut down to 7/8 with the cutting performance of this walk-behind-lawn-mower being great at 1 inch, after taking the hoc lever out of the settings.
