Scotts Outdoor Power Tools 2000-20S 20-Inch 5-Blade Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower, Green

This is the Porsche of reel mowers: easy to push, lightweight, easy to sharpen (with an auxiliary sharpening kit, $25.00), well-engineered and nicely painted. It can be set to five different cutting levels in three ranges, moving from very low (1") to high (2.5"). Out of the box it comes adjusted to the highest range, but this can be changed to one of the two lower ranges fairly easily by removing the wheels. There are several youTube videos that explain how to do this. It is important to know that push mowers don't handle very long grass or weeds very well. On the other hand, they do a great job of manicuring lawns to a uniform height. Unlike power movers, they actually cut the leaves rather than ripping off the tops. And (of course) the Scott's 2000 is good on gas and good for the environment, and it's not going to wake up the baby.

I had been wanting this style mower and had tried out a different brand that someone had, and I could hardly push it. I don’t think it was that much heavier than this one, just not geared as smoothly. The wirecutter recommendation site liked this one and then my brother bought one and I tried his and it went through the grass like butter. If I buy something and the assembly directions are terrible or the pieces don’t really go together right, I stuff it back in the box and go back to the store. This lawn mower is made with such quality of manufacturing, the Scott’s company could probably switch to making precision surgical instruments or fine camera gear. The only thing I have to say is if you’re used to a power mower and you run over sticks with abandon and use it to mulch leaves, then this is not that. If you have a golf course lawn, then this is perfect for that because it excels at cutting grass and has a number of height adjustments; but some people just want a mower that is simple and always works and is environmental. If your interest in the environment or watershed means that you don’t use chemicals on your yard and you have an assortment of weeds, then this will cut them, I cut my weeds today, but the mower shines on the patches of grass.

I honestly didn't really expect this to be up to the job I had in mind for it...but it has proved me completely wrong I'm happy to say! We have a croft (smallholding) that has no power and I'm rubbish at starting petrol mowers, but we needed a solution to keep the long, rough grass under control now that the growing season is under way. The width of this cutting blade seemed great, so for the price it had to be worth a try. It has done a fabulous job! I gave everything a first cut on the middle setting to clear tussocks, but subsequent cuts can now be on the lowest setting. Downhill, it's a breeze. Uphill requires a bit of a running start and some welly, but someone stronger than me, (a skinny 56 Yr old woman) might even manage a standing start! It's very sharp and I bought the blade sharpener too to keep it that way. I love it and can't recommend it highly enough. It doesn't cut the shortest I've ever seen but for my purposes that's ideal.

Réellement GENIALE. Très belle avec ses couleurs et un fini remarquable. On apprécie "aucun outil nécessaire" pour le montage et...C'EST EXACT. Tout s'enclenche en quelques minutes. Très maniable, elle très rassurante.et la qualité est au rendez-vous. L'herbe était un peu haute, mais en croisant on arrive a faire un travail absolument parfait. Après quatre heures non stop, elle a fait un travail impressionnant mais surtout je ne ressens pas de fatigue. Il n'y a aucune comparaison avec les autres tondeuses, ou les débroussailleuses, on ne ressent aucune tension, on va à son rythme, attentif mais "zen". Depuis des années nettoyer mon grand terrain -qui de plus n'est pas très plat- était un grand souci, mais ce soir je sais que c'est avec une grande légèreté que je reprendrai cette "aventure", de plus aucun souci de charge, aucun souci de la peur d'une pierre projetée, aucun souci de fil... Très sincèrement je recommande absolument quel que soit votre force ou votre âge, on peut aller à son rythme, elle vous suit tout simplement, et elle est très stable avec ses deux roues arrières. Juste un dernier mot : un très grand "merci".
