Safe, lightweight and easy to push, this non-polluting Reel Lawn Mower is great for small lawns and hard-to-cut landscaping. The clean, even cut is better for your lawn because it doesn’t rip or tear, leaving the grass blade sealed to better retain moisture. Use clippings as a fine mulch to fertilize your lawn, or add the optional Grass Catcher (sold separately) to collect the grass for your compost pile.

Now I researched reel mowers for a while before my purchase. Here is what I found- American Reel Mower Company makes both the Scott’s AND Great Lawns mowers. All are made in China now EXCEPT for model 1414-16! This one mower is still made in the US. It is heavier duty than the rest- cast iron construction. Yes, it is heavier, but mows better because of the weight. I called the American Mower Co. to verify all of this information. If you know what these mowers are all about (don’t try cutting 6″ high grass in one pass) then THIS is the mower to buy. I love mine and it will surely last for years!

My dad has called me two weeks in a row to see how things are going and I totally shocked him when I told him I was mowing the lawn. I have always despised mowing the lawn and for three decades he has heard nothing but complaints from me about it. This mower is a little heavier than I expected, but it seems very sturdy and makes a quick, easy job of taking care of our small lawn. It is quiet and efficient. Our yard is in no way, shape, or form perfect — there are lumps and divits all over, and even the occasional hard root knob sticking up, and over the years it has developed a variety of “crops” including several kinds of grasses and a lot of weeds. I was nervous about using a push-reel mower since we don’t have a smooth, uniform lawn and I have read that that is important for using manual mowers. So far, it has done a superior job and the lawn looks better than it did when we used a power mower in the past (faster, too). We still have to use an electric trimmer around the edges, but overall, this mower has really changed my attitude about yard work.

The pros:
This mower is made in the USA! It pushes easy and is lightweight. It is easy to assemble.
The cons:
The clips that hold the rollers in place are plastic. The entire mower is metal except for these 2 little clips and the rubber wheels. The problem is that when adjusted to the highest setting the bar that fits into these clips holding the rollers falls out and your roller assembly comes off. Come on American mower, you maybe saved 2 bucks making this plastic. Made in the USA means we make things great! Let’s fix that.
I bought this mower based on one of the recommendation that it works well with St. Augustine grass we have in Florida. I have to take issue with that recommendation. St. Augustine should be cut at a height of 3 inches or more. At it’s highest this mower goes to 2.5 inches. Your mower, in actuality, has to adjust even higher to compensate for the thickness of the lawn. You can easily sink into a thick carpet of St. Augustine. At 2.5 inches, this mower was scalping my grass.
Aside from the flawed roller assembly, I think this mower would be fine with a northern type grass.

We have been using this for almost 2 months now. The lawn looks more and more like a golf green every week. You don’t realize that much of the brown in the grass is from the mower tearing the blades. You still need an edger as the blades don’t cut the outer 1-2 inches of the wheelbase. But for us with concrete trim, we would need to do that anyways with a deck mower. Love it. Also, the heavy wheels (come on, it is only 30 some lbs and we can easily carry it) help to keep traction even in moist grass.
Cost-effective too! Our friends and family are amazed at what we paid for a lawn mower. Takes about 10 minutes to mow our small patch of grass. Well built. I suspect that we will have a well mowed lawn over the next 10 years for less than the price of gas alone.
NB: Make sure that you get the 1414-16 model as it is the only one still made in the USA (probably due to the heavy wheels). Many of the other mowers that I tried in the stores with the plastic wheels had trouble with alignment and traction even on flat concrete. The 1414-16 digs in and spins away, even on recently rained on grass. I can actually mow after a rain shower!

I BOUGHT THIS PARTICULAR REEL MOWER BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY MODEL OF ANY BRAND THAT COMES WITH ALL METAL GEARS THAT PROPEL THE BLADES. THE WAY THESE WORK IS THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL HAS TEETH ON IT AND THOSE DRIVE A GEAR ATTACHED TO THE BLADE REEL. ON ALL OTHER MODELS AND BRANDS THOSE GEARS ARE PLASTIC NOW, AND IF YOU RUN OVER A TWIG OR PINECONE IT CAN STRIP THE PLASTIC GEARS. RUMOR HAS IT THAT THIS IS THE ONLY MODEL STILL MADE IN THE USA. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT ALTHOUGH I WANTED THE SCOTTS 20″ BECAUSE IT HAS A WIDER CUT AND HIGHER SETTINGS FOR CUT HIEGHT BUT THE SCOTTS WAS ALL PLASTIC GEARS . THE FACT THAT IT DOESN’T COME IN 20″ IS THE ONLY THING THAT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH. IT CUTS GREAT AND IS EASY TO PUSH EVEN THROUGH THICK AUGUSTINE OR BAHIA.
