CRAFTSMAN 304-14CR 14-Inch Push Reel Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher

Reel lawn mowers, such as the Craftsman model, offer a healthy and eco-friendly alternative to traditional lawn mowers. Unlike their gas-powered counterparts, these manual push mowers require only your own energy to operate, producing zero fumes or emissions. The Craftsman 5-blade reel mower features a 14-inch cutting width and an adjustable cutting height ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 inches, allowing you to achieve the perfect lawn length.

The durable, heat-treated alloy steel blades of this push mower stay sharp for years, ensuring a clean, even cut every time. The composite wheels provide excellent maneuverability and ease of transportation, while the cutting action of the reel mower is gentle on the grass, avoiding bruising or damage to the blades.

For best results, it's recommended to mow no more than one-third of the grass blade, encouraging deeper root growth. If your lawn reaches a height of 4 inches or more, increase the overlap between each pass to ensure a consistently even cut. Avoid using the reel mower when the grass is wet, as this can lead to an uneven finish.

Prior to mowing, be sure to clear any debris from the lawn to prevent potential damage to the blades. Reel mowers work best on well-maintained lawns; if your lawn is overgrown with divots and tall weeds, it's advisable to have it worked on before using the reel mower, as it may require multiple passes the first time.

The Craftsman manual reel lawn mower is a low-maintenance option, with the only required attention being on the sharpness of the blades. The T-style handle with cushioned grips provides comfortable operation, while the easy, tool-less assembly ensures a quick and hassle-free setup.

Included with the mower is a grass catcher, which can be easily installed or removed as needed. Since reel mowers cut the grass like scissors, with little force behind the cut, not all clippings will be captured in the bag, making it a suitable option for those who prefer to leave the clippings on the lawn as natural fertilizer.

Reel lawn mowers are an environmentally friendly choice, as they are pollution-free and operate quietly, without the noise associated with gas-powered models. This manual push mower is a sustainable and low-maintenance alternative for maintaining a healthy, green lawn.

When using a reel mower, it's important to keep in mind that taller grass means more work. To ensure an efficient and effective cut, it's best to mow smaller amounts more frequently, rather than allowing the lawn to become overgrown. By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of a beautifully manicured lawn with the Craftsman manual reel lawn mower.
