Garvee 14-Inch Manual Reel Lawn Mower, 5-Blade Push Mower with Adjustable Cutting Height, Lightweight & Quiet, Eco-Friendly Grass Cutter for Small Yards, Red

Great mower for courtyard. Blades are sharp and cut great. Lightweight and easy to use and easy to put together. Very happy with purchase.

I have a very small yard so I was excited to get this manual mower. It is alot of work to drag out a huge lawn mower for just a little bit of grass. This is lightweight and easy to maneuver.The height is adjustable. I prefer the shortest setting so I can mow the grass the least amount possible. It is quiet and cuts very well. It is versatile enough to work on long grass along with weeds. It is a fantastic quality.I am impressed with the performance. It is incredibly convenient and I love it!

Awesome lawn mower! I am thrilled to go back to basics and get rid of the loud gas mower that is hard to start! This one runs on my calories, no pollution, and is nice and quiet, meaning I can mow any time without worrying about making much noise early or late. It is also much easier to move around from front yard to back yard. One time I even carried it through my house for a shortcut! Ha! Yes, it has a hard time cutting tall grass but I find that going more slowly, and maybe doing half the blade part on the tall grass and half on the cut grass makes it more doable. Also change the blade setting to higher if needed. It is not a heavy mower but in thick grass going uphill it is a little bit of an effort. It also does not like any form of twigs or clusters of thick grass, and you may want to use an edger or weedwhacker, too,if you want a crisper edge. I have a small handheld electric trimmer I use for edges. My lawns look so good now, and it will be easier to mow next time as long as I don't let the grass grow too tall again. Assembly of the mower was a little confusing. I could not tell if the handle part was to slant down or up. Dah, it goes up! Drawing in manual was not good. Also, put the lower part of the handle on the wheel part first! Instructions say to do it last. It was still not easy, but it would have been harder if the rest of the handle was attached to that wheel part. The tricky thing is to get the bottom part of the handle squeezed into place between the wheels. I have arthritis and it was hard to use enough strength to squeeze it so it would snap into place on the metal peg. I found that putting the wheel part on its side made it easier, so I could just push it into place, what was now at the top when the thing was on its side, so do the lower part first when it is on its side. No screws required there. A few other screws to secure the handle parts, but that was easy. I am super pleased with this mower. It reminds me of my dad mowing with a manual mower like this back in the 70s. Yeah, maybe a little harder but it has so many advantages, too. Sometimes we need to go back to basics. Big, loud, heavy, polluting lawnmowers are gross when you think about it. I see more and more neighbors using these old school mowers. Love it. And you can buy a blade sharpener for this mower, which I plan to do, so we can use it for a loooong time. I think it will last. Great quality. Just avoid running the blades into rocks and branches too much. It may dull the blades and makes it hard to push through.

It is a push mower so expect to exert yourself a bit. I could go for a little sharper blades to keep from going over same spot twice but this is the sacrifice I accept for having a lower acquisition cost. Also very easy to put together. If you have a large area to cut you might want to consider a different type product
