Highly recommend for people who realize the pros and cons of a manual mower
I wasn’t expecting much out of a manual push mower, but I just finished using it for the first time and I’m so impressed!
Few things to be noted:
-Yes, it is going to take a little more effort than a standard mower. You’re buying a manual mower. That’s what you signed up for.
-Yes, it will take more physical strength if you’re trying to mow down 10” high grass. Cause it’s a manual mower.
-Yes, it does occasionally get caught on sticks, but it takes 2 seconds to remove the obstruction. If you don’t have 2 seconds available, why are you buying a manual mower?
-Yes, it takes more time than a gas or electric mower. Again, cause it’s a manual mower.
-Yes, the grass catcher bag is pretty small and fills up very quickly. Cause it’s a manual mower! It’s not designed to mow an acre. I will forgo the use of the bag altogether on my next use and simply rake up the clippings afterwards. Not a big deal for me.
-I’m a 32 year old female who stands at 5’6” and weighs 125, I had no trouble assembling or using this mower. Very pleased with its performance thus far. And I actually found it enjoyable.
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly mower and enjoy the idea of getting some light exercise while doing yard work, I would highly recommend this.
If you are someone who complains about putting time and effort into things, you should probably just call a landscaper.
