American Lawn Mower Company GC91416 14-Inch/16-Inch Reel Lawn Mower Grass Catcher, Black

I am very pleased with how easy the directions were/ as well as installation. I have a 14” wheel base on my mower. I did have to re- learn how to mow because with the walk behind mower, it’s not as easy to back up or turn. It can cause the basket to pop off easily, spilling grass clippings. I would not recommend cutting longer (4+inches) with it on. After some trial and error in longer grass, I found that the best course of action for me was to cut first without the basket, and then go back over it with the basket on. I should add that it’s been a while since I’ve sharpened my blades. So, having sharp blades could make it easier in long grass…I don’t know.The basket is easy to take on and off to dump the grass. It’s sturdy enough, and seems like it should be able to hold up for a couple of years.

I bought this for my Scott’s 16” reel mower appeared to have the same frame. Fits perfectly. Easy to assemble and attach. It will pop off if you’re on uneven ground or hit a big enough bump but it’s fine.

It's like this product was designed by an engineer who understood the theory of how these things function, without every actually testing it. It technically fits (though it's a dumb way of attaching it to the mower). But it doesn't really do its job. Grass either gets thrown over the side of the bag or it bunches up at the reel and blocks more grass from going in. I constantly have to reach down and shove the grass to the back to make space for more. Also, the bag is made of cheap materials. It's flimsy and the part at the bottom where the back metal brace attaches broke off after only a few uses. So now the bag doesn't stay propped open. It's almost more trouble to use this bag than just raking up the grass from the ground. I've used a reel mower with a grass-catcher bag that actually works, so I know it's possible. Save your money and don't buy this. Also, since it's the only bag available for this mower, don't buy the mower if you're planning on using it with a bag. I love the mower. It's a good product and does a great job. But it doesn't have a bag that works.

The product is good quality for the cost. Instruction sheet could be more clear but workable.

Well it was worth a try. Small bag that a lot of the clipping fly right over the bag. Jane to come up with a better way to attach the upper hook as it falls off constantly. I can fix that somehow but picking up 2/3 of the clippings doesn’t work for me
