American Lawn Mower Company 1204-14 14-Inch Deluxe Hand Reel
Price: $54.00
The Great States 14-inch deluxe hand-reel mower provides a clean, precise, scissor-like cut for most turf grasses — especially for cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, fescue and rye. With a cutting width of 14 inches and a a cutting height of 1/2- to 1-1/2 inches, the mower has 8-1/2-inch diameter high impact, polymer wheels with integral molded tread. It includes a three-spider one-blade reel, an alloy steel reel, a bed knife blade, and an adjustable, three-section roller. The zinc-plated handle has plastic grips for greater comfort. Assembly is required for this unit. To assure a precise, fine cut, each American/Great States feel mower must pass inspection by cutting paper 1/3000-inch thick — much thinner than a blade of grass. The mower weighs 19 pounds and comes with a limited 90-day warranty.

User Reviews
Purchased this mower for use at a townhouse. It could not be better. Easy to assemble and works perfectly. Lightweight - no gas, no oil and no cords. Very easy to push and great price. Excellent! -- Excellent Mower!
The minor assembly is easy. It cuts the grass well but wouldn't work as well on bermuda or crab grass. Provides good light exercise and a nice looking lawn. -- Push mower
I was warned by several friends about buying a hand mower - mainly that it would be too hard to push - but that's not the case. More expensive than I would have thought, but definitely worth it - a good, steady little machine that will probably last forever. You have to put the handle together when it comes out of the box, but this was relatively easy even for me. The blades are sharp, the mower is easy to push, and I'm actually enjoying mowing the lawn. The only down side was a tiny metal thing that's supposed to fit into the slots to keep the handle on. One did, the other was too loose, had to adjust with a hammer and ended up using duct tape. On the whole though, am delighted. -- steady little workhorse
for the money it's ok it does cut well except for dandelions just rolls over them the only real problem is the handle is to short and the handle grips wore through to metel the second time i used it. I will get new grips for it. but all in all it is ok for what i use it for.
-- I't ok
Although small, this is a great mower. I got the mower for several reasons, the exercise, the environment, and the way a reel mower makes bermuda grass look. Over the last several years, I have changed my lawncare practices to be more environmentally friendly. I am using organic fertilizer this year and in combination with this mower, my yard looks great. It is easy to push, it goes around corners easily and overall does an excellent job. As I said, my yard is bermuda. Bermuda grass is tough and grows fast. This little mower has no trouble cutting the grass. Add Amazon's super fast shipping and it's a great deal. -- Great mower
