Great States 815-18 18-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower

I first purchased the 14" 5 blade Great States reel mower and since I was very pleased with it, I purchased this 18". I like the handle on this one better than the 14". Of course, it does cut a bit wider path so that saves some time and effort. I'm 63 and have no problem using either one. If you allow your grass to get very high, it will take some extra push, otherwise it's as simple as walking. After reading a previous review, I wanted to mention there is screws that allow the blades to lower/raise and move the blades closer into the cutter bar. Only turn the screws ever so slightly. I suggest going to youtube and look up how to video for reel mowers. If the blades are too close to the cutter bar, you may hear a grinding noise and have a bad to no cut. If the blades are too far from the cutter bar, it won't cut the grass. I mow my grass usually about twice a week since it has been a rainy season. If it is a dryer week, I can get by with mowing just once. The settings on these mowers are factory set and they do a good job of having the blades correct to the cutter bar. However, you might get one that needs a little adjusting and with time you may need to adjust it. Hope that helps.

small sticks lock up. Cuts nice. Need blade sharpener and oil. I ordered bike chain oil separately. Good value.
