I just got it yesterday and put it together this morning, it took about 10 min. and I adjusted the blades to have less contact, as the paint on the blades needs to where off. The mower is well made and cuts great and a lot lower than my power mower.br /I cut my yard two weeks ago with my power mower and it is Bermuda grass and a hybrid mix it turner brown and look very bad.br / The only thing that I would change is to put the bottom of the handle on the mower before you put it together as it is easier to get it on that way and oil the mower before the first use.br / Well, on to my first use, I cut my yard in about 20 min. and it was the easiest that it has been in 3 years the mower is very easy to push and does a great job cutting the grass. I just don't Know what took me so long to try one, I will not go back to my power mower! I would highly recommend it to everyone, it is one fantastic mower.

American Lawn Mower's 16-inch bent reel mower is efficient and effective--no unnecessary attachments, no fancy gewgaws, just a serious blade-and-reel unit of tempered alloy steel with a few height adjustments for different levels of grass. The knife blades are sharp and strong, and, though the mower is light enough to carry, it's got enough heft for proper traction on slick grass. Assembly doesn't take long--10 or 15 minutes is about all. The handle cushions are cushier than on some other models and especially easy to put on--unfortunately, they come off as easily as they go on.

Made of durable tempered alloy steel with an unbreakable steel side plate, this 4-spider, 7-blade, ball bearing reel design gives you cutting heights ranging from 1/2 inch to 2-1/4 inches using the adjustable 7-section roller and 3-position adjustable wheel height.

good customer service - Gift Recipient -
Received the unit on time. Once open the mower had a small broken piece. Called customer service and received the replacement piece in 4 days. Mower works great on my bermuda grass.

Very nice American-manufactured lawnmower - voyager2lcats -
I had read a nice review of the American Lawn Mower Company's list of reel mowers and I was convinced this was the right machine for me. I have a centipede lawn and this machine cuts better than any gas or electric mower I own. Neither of them is reliable either, while this machine should go the distance. I purchased the blade sharpening kit as well, so far haven't needed it (I have used it four times already since March). It is lighter than either the gas or electric mower I have, so it is no harder to push nor maneuver. You won't regret buying this from Amazon.com as I got free shipping and delivery was in 5 days. You have to assemble the mower, but that is relatively simple, although the instructions are poor.
