Scotts 2000-20 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower Review
See more picture
I read the various reviews of the Scotts 20" push reel mower before purchasing and the negative ones did give me pause. My yard is slightly uneven with some dips and it has two or three different kinds of grass; okay, I'm not a landscaper. I took a chance because I wanted to get away from the gas mower with its fumes when running and the fuel smells when stored in the garage. Like a car, the gas mower required maintenance, took up space, and was noisy.br /br /I purchased the Scotts push reel mower and have been very pleased. It is very easy to push - it is lighter than a gas mower and is easier to turn around - and the cut on the grass is decidedly better than the rotary gas mower. It looks clean, clipped, and very nice. It was easy to push and it folds up for storage against the wall in garage. The only negative - and not worth a lower star - is that it won 't pick up leaves, but I have a rake and I'll trade the quiet of raking and non-motorized mowing to the noise and belching fumes of a gas mower anytime. Bottom line: a very good cut and worth the price.

I bought the Scotts 20 inch reel mower last summer based upon positive reviews and a wish to be environmentally responsible. We have a small yard (two to three thousand square feet) and at the time I figured the Scotts mower would be enough. Assembly was straight forward and I was initially pleased with the mowers result...maybe I was in denial? As the summer moved along, I began to regret my enviromentally responsible purchase. I had only ever used gas mowers and expected that a pass would neatly cut the grass. The Scotts mower pretty much never resulted in a clean pass. There always seemed to be a couple of dozen stubborn grass shoots still standing, resulting in additional passes. Don't expect the Scotts mower to edge the area cut, you'll need to weed eat. By the end of the summer I had given up. I wouldn't bother with second and third passes, instead opting to pull the stray shoots by hand. The handle had torn (most likely my fault) and the frame of the mower felt loose, despite tightening. I'm giving in this summer and replacing the reel with a corded mower. If you're looking to simply trim the grass and don't care about appearance, then the Scotts mower may be a good choice for you. If you want a neat, clean cut, look elsewhere.
