“Why did I wait so long.....”
Craftsman 18" Push Reel Mower —
I just got and used the Craftsman 18 in. Reel Mower today, and I've got to say I should not have waited to get one. I had it together in about 15 minutes after I got home, and was cutting right away. Lighter than my old powered mower, no fumes, and what a great cut on my lawn. Even my 8 year old son was able to push it through the lawn with no trouble. My lawn was around 5 inches, and I cut it down to 3 with no problem. As others have mentioned, there is a little learning curve because you have to overlap your cut path, and the dandelions managed to escape the blades, but this made cutting my lawn a pleasure again. It took a little longer to cut my yard, and there was some work with the weed trimmer after mowing, but nothing that didn't bring simple pleasure to the experience of working outside. I can tell you honestly that I don't see myself ever going back to a gas mower again, and this unit was a fantastic deal for the money. They had another less expensive 16 inch model on display at my local Sears, but the height adjustment was not as easy as this one, and the extra 2 inches in cut path size was worth the $20 difference (on sale) in my opinion. Great mower, and the only remorse I have about my past mowers is that I wish I had bought one of these sooner so I would still have all the maintenance and gas money I have wasted over the years on powered mowers. My yard already looks more manicured than ever after one cut, and I'm sure it will just get better with time.Craftsman 18" Push Reel Mower
