If you’ve seen the Scotts Classic lawnmower and like it, but think it’s a bit heavy, then you’re going find the Deluxe Light reel mower made by the same American Lawnmower Company interesting.
Scotts Classic Deluxe Light Reel Mower
Basically, it’s described as a much lighter version of the classic design, weighing just 27 lbs. It has quite a wide cutting width (18″), and you can set the blades for a variety of cutting heights between 0.5″ and 2.5″, which is pretty average for a reel mower.
When you buy one of these mowers, you’ll get it in a 2.13 cubic foot box, and all you have to do is attach the bright-plated loop-type handle to the mower. According to the instructions, this shouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes. Then you can get straight out into the garden and start mowing.
This particular reel mower has five blades in all and a ball bearing reel. The roller is adjustable, as are the wheels that can be positioned at three different heights, depending on your needs.
The manufacturer also has some useful tips for anyone planning to buy one of the Scotts Classic Deluxe Light reel mowers. First of all they warn that whilst they are great for mowing grass, you shouldn’t try and cut dandelions or other tall weeds. If you’re faced with tall weeds, on a new lot for instance, have a look at the cordless string trimmers on the market. These will cut long weeds, and the experts say that they are also great for the edges of the lawn.
The makers of this mower also advise people to mow their lawns every week; if you don’t take this advice they say it’s going to be difficult to push the manual mower through the long grass, particularly in the growing season.
