American Lawn Mower 1304-14GC 14" 5-Blade Reel Mower with Grass Catcher

This manual operates but have the best quality and it is so easy to operate. Excellent quality

Perfect for my tiny yard

Reason I took one star away is the grass catcher is made for this model and a larger one. Therefore it is wider and doesn't fit as well as it could. The front edge of the catcher also sits too low to the ground (vs being even all the way across - it kinda sags on the side closest to the blades). This sometimes causes the catcher to get caught on twigs/sticks, etc. or get displaced when I'm mowing some uneven ground in my yard. On to the good stuff. Love the color! Easy to assemble. Lightweight and very maneuverable. Cuts grass nicely. Has adjustment settings on how short to cut grass as well. And . . . Excellent Customer Service. Had a problem with the mower blade getting stuck every so often. Rep explained to me what was happening and that solved the problem. Too much stuff on bar behind the blades. Need to empty catcher more often and not let the grass build up. Probably not explaining this well, but he understood and helped me solve the problem. As you can tell, I'm not familiar with mowing the lawn - ha! Using our power mower was out of the question as I am a petite woman and do not have the strength to pull the cord to start the darn thing! Let alone control it on the big hill section of our yard. Sooo, this manual mower is just what I needed. Just need that grass catcher to fit a little better and it would be perfect. I DO recommend this mower

Blades work but cutting bag doesn’t attach and directions were missing. Nice mower just wish could use cutting clipping catcher with it.

Well worth the money spent. Very easy to put together (one person). Easy to push, cuts well. Only negative is it takes the removal of bolts to change cutting level. Almost makes cutting the grass enjoyable!

I really wanted to like this item. If you have too tall of grass, it's a problem, if you have super uneven ground to cover, it's a problem, weeds? Also a problem. Couldn't get the handle pieces on either. The grass catcher is just a waste of money, doesn't catch hardly anything AND gets in your way. 0/10 do NOT recommend. Would have been better off getting a weed eater for my tiny yard.

Love the lightness and small footprint. I only have to do the strip between my sidewalk and the street. The bag Catcher is underwhelming, does not work to well. The only major complaint is that it does not move much when pulling backwards and flips up. My old one was about 60. Plus years old and had no problem be pulled backwards. Makes the same sound as my old one. I have it on the highest setting for the 1st few cuts this season. Did not take out the old dandelion stems (see picture) . I did notice the neighbors yard who power mows, that it also missed a few dandelion stems. The second picture shows the crisp cut on the edge. Oh and I like the Powder Blue color !

I did not have high hopes for this thing. Boy, was I wrong! I didn’t attach the grass catcher. So, I can’t comment on that. But the mower itself is solid. Works great! Best part is no motor, oil, gas, guesswork about why won’t it start. Single ladies, buy this!

Fantastic reel mower. The mower is very sharp right out of the box. It was easy to assemble and I was able to mow my lawn surprisingly quickly compared to my gas mower that is on its last legs. I’ve owned some cheaper reel mowers in the past and I must say that the build quality and performance on this mower surpassed all expectations.
