Great product!
Let me start by saying I have wanted one of these manual mowers literally for YEARS. This summer brought my son and I the perfect excuse to buy one, as we picked up a couple yards to mow/maintain, and neither of the weed-eaters provided were either very reliable, or worked at all. Also, the yards are cut up into many different configurations, if that makes sense, and the large riding mowers provided were not capable of getting in close to the buildings or other ornamentation.Enter this excellent “old-fashioned” tool. I love being able to find tools like this that are well-made with attention to quality and last-ability, if I may coin a word. My kiddo is steeped in the electronic, tech age and to see the ingenuity and resourcefulness of times past really thrills him. Every time he uses it, he gets great exercise, learns attention to detail in the way he has to manipulate it to get every last blade of grass, and afterwards, he has such a sense of accomplishment! He repeatedly tells me, ‘I am IN LOVE with this machine!’ Also, I have to say, it handles longer weeds or overgrowth pretty darn well, with a bit of effort and elbow grease! Wouldn’t recommend it for cutting that all the time, but in spurts it works really well on taller grass. Just be patient and go at it in sections and it will handle the cut quite well.Couldn’t ask for better craftsmanship. Heavy and substantial materials that appear to be made to last. The cut is crisp, clean, and precise. The only thing I could wish was that the rollers were made of heavy duty rubber rather than thick plastic. I think they might hold up better over time that way. Love the adjustability of the height of the cut! A bit of work to rig it the first time, but super steady afterward.Also, putting it together wasn’t too tough, but the little locks that hold the base of the handle to the actual machine were just adequate, however. I’m afraid they might wear down rather quicker than I’d like. Also, if I may be so bold as to suggest it, including four of them might be a great customer service perk. Just in case one gets bent or lost, or one wears out faster than the other. I don’t really want to place an order for two measley locks, y’know what I’m sayin’? I suppose I could run to Home Depot or our local hardware store to get something I could rig to work, but including a couple sets would just be nicer all ’round.In conclusion, BUY THIS if you’ve been wanting/needing a really efficient, cost-effective, non-fossil-fuel, non-electric, well-built and sturdy mower for your yard. Do be very cautious about twigs and stones or rocks, though. You wouldn’t want to muck up these blades, and if anything will do that, it would be those two things. But if you set your cutting height to the highest cut (which is really best for your grass), twigs, etc., aren’t really much of an issue unless you never rake your grass or have a plethora of older trees that drop lots of stuff into your yard.

Highly reccomend!
Okay first of all, I’d just like to say that I am autistic, and I absolutely LOATHE mowing the lawn. The mower is too loud, the vibrating of the handle makes my arms go numb, and I can never quite pull on the cord hard enough to get it started by myself. I always have to find someone else to turn it on for me. And not to mention the fact that the smell of gasoline gives me a headache.So I finally decided to see if any old-fashioned mowers still existed, because I would much rather deal with something slower and time-consuming if it meant I wouldn’t have to deal with using a normal lawn mower.Imagine my surprise when I found that there are /new/ manual lawnmowers, and I can just order them from Amazon!So I decided I had nothing left to lose, and I would give it a try.Best. Decision. EVER.NOTE OF ADVICE: If you have difficulty putting it together (specifically, attaching the handle to the blade part), find someone with more upper-body strength to help you. They’ll get it done in two seconds. (it took me half an hour of attempting to do so before I gave up and waited for my sister to get home so she could help me)Also: it only cuts while you’re pushing it forward, so all you have to do to move it when you’re not cutting is to pull it along behind you.As for cutting grass? I love it. It works perfectly, aside from a few snags on branches that I didn’t notice. If you move it forward and back a few times, you can cut even tall weeds! Much easier than pulling them out by hand in the areas that the normal gas mower can’t reach.It’s not silent, but it’s also not the deafening roar of a gas mower. If I had to describe the sound, I’d say it’s a whooshing sound, and much much quieter than a gas mower. Plus, you don’t have to deal with your arms vibrating or constantly having to turn the mower back on!No more buying gas, no more struggling to pull on the cord hard enough to turn the mower on, and no more complicated wire-pulling to turn it off.All I have to do is push forward, and the grass gets cut. Stop walking, and it stops cutting. It’s easy to maneuver, and it’s not so heavy that I can’t pick it up and carry it up a flight of stairs to my porch if I need to.I’m never using a gas mower again.

Exactly what we ordered. Tres Bon

Pratico e maneggevole se si hanno prati di piccole dimensioni. Io ho 350 mq e lo faccio in tre volte, preferisco così che non il pesante tosaerba a benzina

Very compact and lightweight yet very solid build. Excellent quality all around and only took a few minutes to setup. Was mowing the lawn in no time! I’m giving on my gas lawnmower because my yard space is shrinking. This one fits my needs perfectly and I can help the environment at the same time. It’s fairly quite and very comfortable in use. Blades are nice and sharp and they had no problem cutting my lawn. If there is a downside to using a manual mower, small debris like twigs will get stuck and stop the blades from spinning. It’s a good idea to pick up debris before getting to work cutting.

Der Spindelmäher ist leicht zu montieren, eine Anleitung mit Bildern ist beigefügt. Das Modell ist stabil, meines Erachtens aber auch recht schwer.Mein Modell blockierte zu Beginn sehr stark, das konnte mit etwas Öl im Getriebe und an den Klingen aber gut behoben werden.Das Mähergebnis wird von Mal zu Mal noch besser, aber selbst Mini-Steinchen und Holzstückchen führen zur direkten Blockade.Insgesamt 4/5 Sterne, würde ich wieder kaufen und weiter empfehlen.
