Scotts Outdoor Power Tools 415-16S 16-Inch Elite Push Reel Lawn Mower, Green

I have a smallish lawn, containing many varieties of grass and ground cover, not flat, with uphills and downhills and this mower happily trundles along cutting grass. It has its limitations- won’t cut these pesky grass sprouts, it just pushes them over, but I already knew that before I bought it. It does not get close to edges, but then most mowers cannot do that anyway. That is why you need a weed wacker. You have to avoid big rocks or remove them, but at the setting that I have it now, it actually goes over small stones without touching them. There any many positives. It is easy to push. Even over thick grass, or uphill, and yes there is a little workout involved but still easy to push. . Relatively simple to assemble, you need no tools. You can store it by either hanging it from the wall or roof, or simply just standing on the floor. It takes up very little space. And I usually have to lift it into my storeroom, and it is light enough to be able to do this easily. A little WD 40 will prevent the blades from rusting and a little wash down with the hose will remove grass and keep the mower clean. Obviously, do not store it wet. And not it is not exactly quiet, it has this delightful buzzing going on when you push it. I am an older fairly fit female and and I live in the tropics, and this mower is great.

Bought this mower knowing the yard in the house I rent is more like a weed patch than an actual yard: the ground is rough, and instead of grass I have patches of weeds here and there. That being said, the mower wasn't recommended for my type of yard, but I bought it anyway cause I hate recurring charges (gasoline, oil, etc.)This little mower has performed surprisingly well despite all I have thrown at it: little sticks are the achilles heel of the little device, but that's already been said. It has done well, but it does not like tall weeds like dandelion, though if you hit them right it will cut. The main issue is that if it is too tall the mower doesn't catch it just so, and as a result you will get tall stragglers in a less than perfect yard like mine.That being said, if you want a picture-perfect yard, you may want to think twice before purchase. But if you are more concerned with recurring expenses and damages to the environment; this is the way to go. Personally, I am happy with the purchase and have no intention of getting another mower.

I bought what I was led to believe was a new lawn mower. I opened the box and found it was most definitely used. (Pictured)I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and assembled it. I took it outside and after pushing it back and forth across the same strip of my yard, it did not cut anything at all. (Pictured) it did however, rip the weeds into the axel. (Pictured) i actually spent more time trying to clean it out than I did using it. Yes, the yard is incredibly tall. It's my first house. But this is a trimmer. Not a lawn mower. Market it as such. And don't call it "Elite" there's nothing elite about it besides being a waste of time and money.

It is a pleasure to use. Cuts cleanly and is light and easy to push even uphill. I love the fresh metallic sound of the blades. There is no electric cord to pull around and no fumes from a gas powered motor ( I have at one time or another tried both) and little weight to press down the grass so the overall finished appearance is quite smooth and even. It was simple to assemble and adjust if you follow instructions and study the pictures. The product is beautiful, very inexpensive and continues to perform perfectly if you clean the blades after each use.

I wanted to get a mower that was easy to use which also didn't require gas. At first I was going to buy an electric mower but they all looked so cheap (plastic)that I decided against it. I remembered when I was a kid that all we had were push mowers, so I borrowed my mom's old push mower to see how they worked. Voila! So, I did some research, went shopping on Amazon and bought the Scotts 16" push mower. What a great investment! It has already paid for itself and is so much fun to use. It's easy to push, it cuts the grass great and is available whenever I need it. I would highly recommend that anyone with a smaller yard who wants to "go green" get one of these mowers.

I needed a mower that would work for my small yard. This mower seems to do the job just fine. It was easier to assemble than I had thought it would be. No tools are required. I put the whole thing together in less than 15 minutes. My only concern during the process was when fitting the handle to the mower itself, I was afraid of the mower slipping and turning the blades, catching my hand.After a few squirts of WD-40 (per the instructions), I was out mowing my lawn. The mower does a great job of cutting through the grass and leaves it pretty level. It is easy to push. The only thing keeping this mower from getting 5 stars is the amount of maintenance suggested by the manufacturer.

I have had this product for about a month so far and have used it quite a few times. I love this product. It is lightweight, easy to use and just all around nice on my allergies. :) Only setback that I have seen is what I have seen in other reviews...twigs and things of that nature tend to stop it dead in its tracks. All you need to do is back it up a bit and move the twig out of the way. Not too much bother. Also you will need to edge as this does not get edges very well...again no big deal, I edged anyways so it isn't much of a hassle. Other than that this thing works great! Takes just as much time to mow the yard as it does with a gas mower without all the fighting of maneuvering it.
