Rating:  - Saving Energy Is ExhaustingI tried to do the right thing by buying a push mower, and I really hate the noise of a gasoline mower. Unfortunately, this product was a huge disappointment, and now I am going to have to buy a power mower after all. This mower skips and slides over the grass without cutting, so I have to go over the same spot three times to have any chance of cutting it. Even then it is pretty rough. In the end, it takes three times as long and five times as much personal energy to cut an area half as well. Of course, there is no trouble-shooting guide provided, and there is no hope of taking it to a service place, so the only recourse is to trash this item and waste whatever money was spent on it. Years ago I used to sell Scott products, and I thought they were reliable even if they cost somewhat more. No longer. Now it is just one more piece of junk trying to get by on a company's previous reputation. My advice: stay away from this one. Rating:  - Works ok, a few small issuesThis mower works well except for one issue. If any of the grass grows over 4 inches, for instance a weed here and there, the mower will go right over it and not cut it. So what you are left with is a nicely trimmed lawn dotted with really long weeds. This is because it doesn't have the vacuum/sucking force that a motor-mower has. So if you are ok with a little inconsistency, and are not too anal about your lawn, this thing works great. Very easy to push, good exercise, quiet, and thus far, durable. Rating:  - Works well for meI bought this mower after reading some of the reviews and have had only good experiences with it. I put it together in 20 minutes and was finished mowing in another 20. I have a small yard and only need it for the front. I don't know if I would be as brave with a larger area, I would probably xericape so as not to have to mow. It's easy to push as well, I am a petite 95lb. female and I had no issues with it being cumbersome. I found that I could cut the edges by lowering the height and going partially onto the sidewalk. I had no problem cutting weeds or dandelions, although I did have to go back and forth in some areas, and I did have to take a small pair of clippers around the fence as it will not get close enough to cut this area, not a big deal in exchange for an environmentally sound product. I was paying $120.00 per month for lawn maintenance, so this mower paid for itself the first month I purchased it, a perk of being environmentally conscious is more cash in your wallet as well as less fumes polluting our beautiful planet. Rating: - The "Green" WayWow what a nice product! It is light weght and easy to use. I have a new house with a new lawn grown from bermuda sod. I do have to mow over some spots a few times before the grass is even, which is fine with me--I like the exercise. I do recomend buying a metal file to smooth the mowing blade just incase you mow over anything metal. When you hit metal objects the blade will stop and get slighly "nicked" which will cause the blade to click everytime the "nick" comes in contact with the cutter. Other than that slight inconvenience, the mower is great. No gas, no oil, no polution. It feels good to be nice to our earth. Rating: - Awesome mower!This is a great mower. It's definitely worth it to buy the 20 inch to make the job faster. It takes up so little space in the garage too. I think we might even hang it on the wall like the weed eater. It does a great cut, even on my extremely weedy lawn. |
