If it were made in the United States, it would almost certainly be more expensive. As a result, we want things that are less expensive, which means they must be manufactured in China. For years, we lobbied for it.
It may be difficult at first to mow taller grass, but as long as you mow at least once a week, you should be fine. If the grass is too tall, you may need to rent a power mower at first, but once you get the hang of it, mowing once a week should be simple.
So far, everything has gone according to plan - This is my first attempt at mowing with a push mower. The assembly of the handle appears to be in good condition.
I don't have one, but Amazon sent me an email offering a lawn mower grass catcher.
Selected User Reviews For American Lawn Mower Company 1204-14 14-Inch 4-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower, Red
The mower is too loud, the handle vibrates so much that it makes my arms numb, and I can't seem to get it started by pulling on the cord hard enough. I always have to enlist the help of another person to turn it on. Not to mention the fact that I get a headache from the smell of gasoline. br>br>So I finally decided to see if there were any old-school games that I could play. I'd rather deal with something slower and time-consuming than deal with a regular lawn mower if it meant I wouldn't have to deal with it. Imagine my delight when I discovered that there are /new/ manual lawnmowers on the market, and that I can order them right now from Amazon! br>br>So I figured there was nothing to lose by giving it a shot. Best. Decision. br>br> EVER. br>br>NOTE OF GUIDANCE: If you're having trouble putting it together (specifically, connecting the handle to the blade part), find someone who has a higher level of upper-body strength. You can rely on your body's strength to assist you. It'll only take two seconds for them to finish. (I gave up after a half-hour attempt and waited for my sister to arrive home so she could assist me. )br>br>Also: Because it only cuts when you push it forward, all you have to do to move it is pull it along behind you when you're not cutting. What about mowing the lawn? br>br> It appeals to me. With the exception of a few snags on branches that I didn't notice, it works perfectly, and you can cut even tall weeds by moving it forward and back a few times. It's a lot easier than pulling them out by hand in areas where a regular gas mower can't get to. It isn't completely silent, but it isn't as loud as a gas mower. If I had to describe the sound, I'd describe it as a whooshing sound that is much quieter than a gas mower. Plus, you won't have to deal with your arms vibrating or having to turn the mower on and off all the time! br>br>There's no need to buy gas, struggle to turn the mower on with the cord, or fiddle with complicated wire-pulling to turn it off. All I have to do now is keep moving forward, and the grass will be cut. When you stop walking, the cutting will stop. It's simple to move around, and it's not so heavy that I can't pick it up and carry it up a flight of stairs to my porch if necessary. br>br>I'm never going back to a gas mower.
This is a fantastic little lawn mower! It was simple to put together; the mower was already assembled; all that was required was the addition of the handle. Pushing is a breeze. There were only two issues that I had to deal with: 1. This puppy can be stopped by even the smallest twig. I had to rake first, and even then, I was picking sticks out of the wheel. It's difficult to mow around a building's perimeter. The mower's wheels protrude a few inches from the ground, leaving a line of un-mowed grass. The grass around the building has been mowed. br>The video that comes with the package is only one-minute long. I had some difficulty pushing because I was left-handed. It works great with two hands!

I bought it because I have a small yard and didn't want to deal with trying to find a cheap mower on Craigslist and paying for maintenance, plus my toddler always wants to help me mow, so I figured it would be safer. It's been a few months since I've had it, and it's fantastic. It's simple to put together and does a good job of cutting the grass. br>br>Cut: br>br> It's not as good as a gas mower, according to some reviews. I believe you simply have to accept the fact that not all of the grass is the same length and that some areas will not be perfectly cut. It took a while to get used to, but as my yard has grown and filled in, I've begun to prefer it. In the spring, the yard will resemble a baseball stadium's outfield. br>br>Weight: x x x x x x x x x x I typically mow with one hand while holding a beer in the other. Occasionally, I'll have to mow while holding the toddler. A gas mower is heavier and less maneuverable. Looks: br>br> You will be laughed at by your spouse, family, friends, and neighbors. Plan ahead of time. The cackling, on the other hand, will increase as you whisper around the yard and it begins to look like a professional job. As a result, they'll continue to make fun of you. But I promise it'll be worth it. Noise/Security: br>br>Noise/Security: br>br>Noise/Security: b This mower will not cut sticks, throw rocks, get hot, make noise, or do anything else that makes walking around your yard with a gas mower unpleasant. While I'm mowing the lawn, I talk to my wife and daughter. My daughter fell asleep in the Ergo carrier while I was mowing the lawn the other day, which isn't something you can do with a gas mower. br>br>I docked it a half-star because I believe there are better rotary mowers on the market with wider coverage, which would make mowing go faster. But that's being a tad picky. If you've never used a rotary before, this is an excellent place to start.
This is Susan. It took me ten minutes to put it together (I had to use a small spanner to keep the bolt head in place while tightening the knobs on the handle assembly). br>br>I'll include four photos with this review to demonstrate how long our grass was/is. and how much I accomplished in 25 minutes as a little old lady I had to come in because it was 90 degrees outside. I was wearing a hat, as you can see! One of the reasons I bought the little thing was to lose 10 pounds, and this was a great way for me to do so. It's a good arm workout, and it's also good for your stomach. not to mention your legs from all of the walking! Later, I'll apply sunscreen. br>br>Don't worry, I'm not going to cut both of them. With this, you can get 34 acres. (Because we have a SCAG mower in need of repair, a quick eighty-minute drive is in order. ) In two days, I received my buck purchase! ) Right out of the box, I'm really happy with it. The cutting blade height was not adjusted by me. I simply pushed it away and was on my way! It was necessary for me to go over some areas twice - It's not surprising - L is for grass. So, just like I would with the power SCAG mower in dense areas, I did a few overlaps as well. br>br>I like how you can pull it backwards on its back rollers to keep the blades off my concrete patio! ) so that you can transport it to a storage location. Yes, it's light enough to lift and carry, but keep your hands away from the blades at all times. That is all there is to it.
