Amazon.com Product Description
The Great States 14-inch deluxe hand-reel mower provides a clean, precise, scissor-like cut for most turf grasses -- especially for cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, fescue and rye. With a cutting width of 14 inches and a a cutting height of 1/2- to 1-1/2 inches, the mower has 8-1/2-inch diameter high impact, polymer wheels with integral molded tread. It includes a three-spider one-blade reel, an alloy steel reel, a bed knife blade, and an adjustable, three-section roller. The zinc-plated handle has plastic grips for greater comfort. Assembly is required for this unit. To assure a precise, fine cut, each American/Great States feel mower must pass inspection by cutting paper 1/3000-inch thick -- much thinner than a blade of grass. The mower weighs 19 pounds and comes with a limited 90-day warranty.
Amazon.com Review
When it comes to hand-pushed reel mowers, what you want is low cost and high efficiency. That's what you get with the Great States push reel lawn mower. Though they call it their "Deluxe Hand Reel Mower," there's not much that's deluxe about it, but its simplicity is one of its nice features. When you're pushing a hand mower, fancy attachments are not what you're really after. Strength and easy maneuverability are more important, and the simplicity of the hand reel mower design, with its three height adjustment settings, allows you to do the job and get on with your weekend. The alloy steel reel and bed 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 is easy enough--it doesn't take more than 10 minutes--and there's a limited 90-day warranty.

 Works great! August 23, 2008

This was easy to put together and easy to use. I don't have a big lawn, so it is ideal for me. Some parts of the lawn were overgrown and it took a bit more effort than a power mower would. However, since a big mower takes more effort to use overall, I think it balances. It does take longer to use than a power mower, but I rather enjoyed the workout it gave me. Clean lawn, little mess, and I didn't smell like fumes when it was over.

The best thing is the light weight. It does everything a heavy noisy mower does and I can carry it around on one hand. Love it. Tall weeds get tangled on the axle, but it is easy to untangle them by hand.
Old-fashioned is great. October 10, 2007

I received this product on time and with no problems. It was easy to assemble and has worked great for several mowings. If you want a low price, no pollution, and to get exercise when you mow your lawn, this fits the bill. Definitely not for large yards but great for small ones. If you have lots of twigs or sticks falling in your yard, don't get this as they tend to stick in the blades.
Great trimming mower! September 30, 2007

This is a great little mower for doing small trim up jobs or getting small sections of lawn. It's no harder to push than a regular gas mower (that is not self-propelled, of course). It makes a little noise that sounds like a bunch of people opening and closing scissors - but it's still very quiet compared to a gas mower - plus when it is time to mow, just take it out and start pushing it around. No gas cans, no running to the gas station, no checking the oil, no extra heat coming off the engine, no exhaust fumes to breath in, no spark plug going bad, no pull rope breaking, ... you get the idea. If you find this thing difficult to use you need to get a physical checkup right away, get on a diet, and start slowly exercising (Push the mower at a slow pace) - at least until you get rid of the first hundred pounds. Anyways, now that I've offended all the lazy people who complain reel mowers are hard - if you're a normal person and you have any desire to help do your part to reduce pollution (fumes and noise) then don't hesitate to try one of these things out. I'm glad I ended up giving it a try. If I had an average size lawn to mow I would move up to a 18 - 20" reel mower. I've also bought the fiskar's long handled grass shears in place of a weed eater. It's very light and easy to use - though more time consuming.
