After reading reviews on Amazon and other places I decided to purchase the Scotts 20-inch reel mower.  The quality of the mower is fine with no obvious flaws in design or assembly.  At first I questioned the cut quality however realized that this was due to the some weeds in my lawn being too high for the reel to cut instead of just push down.  I checked the blade adjustment and all was well.  If you have a thick lawn or one that is mixed (like mine) then this may not be the best mower for you.  If your lawn is pretty much free of weeds and not too thick then this will do just fine.  I must admit this is easier to push than using my self-propelled mower.  What a surprise!  I love being able to mow and hear the kids playing, or my wife calling out to me - and no risk of things being thrown and injuring my children.  They can actually play nearby while I mow!  Would I buy it again?  Probably so, although I'd wait until I had the weeds and non-grass stuff under better control.
