Tools & Hardware : Scotts 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower #2000-20

Rating: - Dissappointed
I was very excited in hearing a lot of great reviews. Unfortunately, I was mislead. My troubles with the Scotts Reel mower is that It did not come factory ready. My mower did not cut evenly, missed grass, hardly touched the taller weeds and not to mention the rickety handle. I remembered using a reel mower when I was like 12 and worked great!
The coolest part of this mower and the only reason I gave it two stars is. For one you don't need gas. The other is you can mow and still hear people, music, birds or what have ya.
This mower has been a huge disappointment, when I can go out and buy a new push mower for $50 more. Maybe I just got a bad model but overall I'm not happy and would not recommend this product to anyone. Thanks to all you people that have put youtube videos about the Scott's Reel Mower this has been very helpful to me. It's sounds like I'm not the only one with issues.

Rating: - Get a real mower with gas and self propelled.
There is a reason why we stopped using 'reel' mowers many years ago. We should learn from history rather than repeat it. Buy a used 'real' mower from Sears. They cost just as much as this mower.

Rating: - Not a good design
I bought it recently but got dissapointed with it immediatley. Assembly is easy. Not very heavy but it requires incredible force for slightly longer grass. The angle of the push handle is not optimum and can not be adjusted. I am 5'4" and found it extremely hard to push it. Had to return it after an hour of use. Realised it is not for me.

My yard has about 2000 sqft of lawn. It takes 30 mins to mow it with this reel mower. This mower is very light and performs very well. I do not miss my gas powered mower at all.

Rating: - 20" reel mower
I read all the reviews and after 3-4 weeks research and reading decided to buy a used one for $50 on Craig's List in case all the negatives were true. They weren't. No set-up problems as it was already assembled. It cuts very well. MUCH easier to push than my power mower as it is weighs a lot less. Cuts a slightly narrower path but so easy and fast to push, it still takes less time. It doesn't like grass over 6" but just turn around and go over it again. It doesn't like branches but branches aren't good for power mowers either. No gas, no smell, no noise, no pulling recoil starters, no oil to change, no flying grass. Shoulda done this years ago!
