GARDENA (4018) Classic 16" Reel Lawn Mower with 5 Blades. The Lawn Mower for Everyday use with No Gas, No Electricity Makes Mowing a Breeze. Best Yard Tools You can own.

We love our mower and this accessory works great. Easy to use and easy to store. Great quality and lightweight. Good value.

Works great, not heavy and easy to assemble. Extremely satisfied.

Looks nice works well ,but you have to have to have a little muscle power

Works better than even the old, USA-made models made by American Mower or USA-made Sears Craftsman.

This does not work. As a pretty strong and able-bodied woman, I was still willing to assume that I was simply not strong enough to use this. I had to push with all that I had, and the best I could get was a very clunky two or three feet at a time that was littered with clumps and missed spots. But when my husband saw me struggling, made several attempts himself, and had no better results, I knew it was the mower itself. I was going to return it because I had only used it once, but it was challenging to get the UPS store and get it packaged and I missed the window.

I've never tried a reel mower before and once I tried it, I quickly realized- Reel mowers are by far the best way to mow your lawn if you don't mind a bit of tinkering to keep the blades sharp and in spec (the blades don't touch.) Pushing a gas mower has its own issues, such as spark plug fouling, bad gas from last year, etc., to keep things in perspective. Pushing a gas mower is a chore, whereas this is quiet, almost therapeutic. I have no experience to compare brands, but here are my shopping notes: Scott makes arguably the best mower that has wider cutting path, greater range of cutting height, and gets great reviews. Fiskars gets great reviews as well, adds some proprietary features that allow for longer intervals between sharpening and cuts almost as wide as the wheels, which is great for mowing along a fence. Greenworks has a four year warranty and makes a good product. It would appear that the Gardena model 4018 (or 400 as per Gardena's website) is the newest version, it has a 15.75" cutting width, which is a bit wider than previous models. It's a quality made product, time will tell how well it holds up- many of the other reviews state that this product is designed to last a lifetime and I don't doubt it. Personally if it makes it five years I'd buy another one.

used today for first time. Have mostly weeds and it worked very well.

We have a small strip of grass in our backyard and wanted a simple way to mow it. Thought the push mower would be a great option, since the entire area that needs to be mowed is only about 150 sq ft. Out of the box everything seemed fine, the mower was pretty easy to assemble and felt like it was lightweight enough to just roll right over the small patch of grass. From there it all went bad. The grass was only put in 10 days ago and was not long, but this thing couldn't go more than a few inches before it simple stopped moving. Then had to either roll it backwards or pick it up and move it backwards to get momentum to get it to roll a few inches more. After about 10 tries to mow one small patch, I was done. Given the cost of this mower, I expected it to be able to easily handle a small patch of grass, but it did not. It is not worth the price, as it simply couldn't do the job. I can't even imagine what this would be like on a full lawn. I think this actually would have been easier with scissors. If you are going to spend this much, do yourself a favor and just look for an electric mower that isn't going to get stuck every few inches.
