CRAFTSMAN 18-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher, Red

Crafted as a healthy alternative to traditional lawn mowers, the Craftsman reel lawn mower operates solely on your own energy. This 100% manual-powered, emission-free push mower requires minimal maintenance, with the only concern being the sharpness of its blades. The 18-inch cutting width and adjustable height of 1-3 inches make this 5-blade reel mower a versatile choice.

Featuring durable, heat-treated alloy steel blades, the Craftsman reel mower employs a cutting action that avoids bruising or damaging the grass. For optimal results, it's recommended to mow no more than one-third of the grass blade, encouraging deeper root growth. When the lawn reaches 4 inches or taller, increase the overlap while mowing to ensure an even cut.

Wet grass should be avoided when using a reel mower, as this often leads to an uneven finish. Before mowing, be sure to remove any lawn debris to allow the blades to work effectively. While reel mowers perform best on well-maintained lawns, they can handle overgrown areas, though multiple passes may be required the first time.

Designed for comfort and maneuverability, the Craftsman manual push mower boasts a padded, cushioned grip and rear wheels. A grass catcher is included, though the mower can operate with or without it, as the scissor-like cutting action results in minimal grass clippings.

Reel lawn mowers are an eco-friendly, low-maintenance alternative, producing no pollution or noise. The durable steel blades of the Craftsman model remain sharp for years, making it a reliable choice for keeping your lawn healthy and green.

When using a push mower, it's important to maintain a consistent mowing schedule, as letting the grass grow too tall can significantly increase the workload. The reel mower only cuts what passes between the blades and the cutter bar, so keeping the lawn at a height of 3-4 inches or less will ensure a clean, even cut.

In summary, the Craftsman reel lawn mower offers a manual, emission-free solution for lawn care, with a focus on efficiency, comfort, and environmental sustainability. Its versatile design and low-maintenance requirements make it a compelling alternative to traditional gas-powered mowers.
