I bought a gas powered lawnmower back in 2005. It was a medium quality one, and it's been through a lot in those 20 years. Sometime over the last few years, the blade has been damaged and does not cut as well as it used to. A hole somehow formed in the engine and it started leaking gas. To top it off, instead of only having to change the spark plug once per year, I've been having to change it every 4-6 weeks or so during mowing season. Needless to say this mower was ready to retire. I started to research replacements online and was very excited to find the one I landed on. Our yard is very small, literally it takes no more than 15-20 minutes to mow with our previous mower. Since it is so mall, my son and I decided to go with a push reel mower. No more messing with gas, no more spark plugs, and no annoying vibrations in the hands while we mow. This Vevor mower is very impressive. It is easy to assemble, easy to use, and it looks good too. Assembly literally took less than 10 minutes. All you basically have to do is put together the metal handles and then attach the metal handles to the rolling blade assembly. No tools are needed. Be very careful when you are putting it together because the blades are pretty sharp and you do not want to cut yourself. The last bit of assembly is attaching the mesh bag to catch all of the clippings while you mow. Using is actually pretty relaxing. Simply push and see the cutting happen. The blade height is adjustable - so if you start cutting and realize you want to take off another quarter or half inch, you can lower the height. I know it is a simple machine, but I am ecstatic with this purchase. I love that I can just get out there and mow without having to pour any gas or pull a string 5 or 10 times to start up an old engine. Also no brutal vibrations or unreliable cutting. I have dreaded mowing for the last several years because of that old mower, but now I am very willing to get out there and do the work. The instructions are ver
