Many were skeptical when I purchased this item. They say, "If reel mowers were so great, why did they invent gas/electric mowers to replace them? And why does everyone else on our block have an electric/gas mower?" I shrugged and said, "It's worth a shot and a little extra elbow grease to go reel over dealing with the upkeep of a motorized device." So far, after one mow, my lawn is looking nice and my critics remain skeptical but are a little more convinced of the benefits of this green machine. I look forward to spending some time this summer with this mower on my lawn without the smell of gasoline to ruin the fun.
Pros:
Product was packaged very nicely and arrived ahead of schedule
Assembly was easy (make sure you have a wrench handy because the nuts need to be snug)
Cuts evenly
Cons:
Grass catcher is a waste of time. Doesn't stay on. I say take it off and let the cut grass decompose into the ground instead of bagging it up in plastic and sending it to the dump.
Mower gets jammed on sticks, mulch pieces, etc. but it only takes a few seconds to clear it out and continue mowing
Not the best for going uphill but works ok on side hills and downhill

I bought this mower when my gas-powered push mower was in the shop with engine trouble. I'd always wanted a reel mower and figured this was my big chance. First of all, let me reaffirm what the other reviewers have said about the grass catcher: It simply doesn't stay on. I couldn't make it 15 feet without it falling off. If grass collection is an important thing to you, this isn't the mower for you. I prefer to mulch, however, so this doesn't affect me in the least.
I will also confirm that a large twig will absolutely stop you dead in your tracks. However, unlike what other reviewers reported, it happily chews through very small twigs without a hiccup. I didn't feel a need to rake my yard before using the mower. So long as you keep on top of your grass and don't let it get really long, the mower isn't any harder to push than a self-propelled gas powered mower. I did mow a small part of the yard of the vacant house next door where the grass was quite long, and it was a lot harder to push. I read a couple of reviews here saying that you have to mow every other day or every third day to keep on top of it. I don't find that to be the case. For me it works to just mow once a week like I did with my gas-powered mower.
I have a small suburban yard, and found that I was able to mow it entirely in under 25 minutes. It did take slightly longer than using my gas-powered mower because the blades are only 16 inches. If I had a larger yard, I'd definitely be left wishing I'd sprung for a reel mower with a wider cutting path. As it is, I'm happy with this mower. Overall it's a time savings because I don't stink like small engine exhaust when I'm done mowing and therefore I don't have to shower.
Also... in researching reel mowers, I discovered that some reel mowers don't work in certain areas of the country because of the type of grass that grows there. So... if it helps anybody to know... I'm in southeastern Wisconsin.
Would I buy this mower again? Definitely. Would I be comfortable with this as my only mower? Probably. Would I recommend it? Yes, with the only caveat being that it's probably not the right mower for a large yard, and if collecting grass cuttings is important to you, it's not going to work.

Nice mower for the price, especially since it comes with it's own bag. Easy to assemble. Upward grip handle actually works well. Although I did having problems getting grass into the bag when my grass exceeded 4" tall but I am content with my purchase.
