Yeah, I love mine. I love things that are vintage and nostalgic and this mower is perfect for me. My neibors always look at me mowing my yard with my little reel mower and some ask me if those things actually work, especially when the grass gets taller and then they see it rip through the grass and knock it down like nothing.I have one of these as well, to cut between some raised beds, around my apple trees, and the kids playset. Love it. Gives a much better cut than a rotary mower.
I want to get a better mower at some point in time, on that has more blades and is wider. Mine is only a 4-blade and it struggles a bit in thicker grass. It will still cut it but it takes a few passes and even then it leaves a few stray blades of grass. Its nothing that I cant go back and buzz with the trimmer.
When I got a reel mower, I wanted to get a cheap one incase I didnt like it but now that I know that I love reel mowers and want to continue to use one, Id like to get a better one. Im looking at the Scotts Pro. Its 18" wide and has 7 blades.
