Title: Great tool all year round
Product review: I've used the Scotts 20-Inch Reel Lawn Mower to mow my 1/4 acre yard for almost two years now. I have not use any other mower. I am completely satisfied with this mower. It is extremely light and durable. Assembly was easy. Storage is easy. I cannot recommend this mower enough.That said, there are a couple of problems. This mower, like any reel mower, will not chop up thick twigs, so thick twigs cause it to jam and you have to reach down to throw out the twig. The blades are very difficult to sharpen. My local hardware store will not sharpen reel mower blades. Every five or six mows, I have to re-tighten some of the bolts, which can be done by hand in about a minute. It does not chop up leaves very well.
