I'm very pleased with this product and it's easy to use. Looked for mowers that would cut grass down to 1/2" and this baby does it! As a matter of fact it was the only manual that I could find that would! Most everything I found only went to a couple of inches..not good for low growing grasses. Had to do some adjustments to get it to that cutting level as it wasn't set for that from the supplier. It  was relatively easy to do if one has any mechanical abilities and a few basic tools and a one time thing so not an issue. Cuts great and it's easy to push. It also allows for a grass catcher that pops on and off with no effort. I have a smaller area ( about 800 sf) where I'm growing hybrid bermuda so the manual push isn't a problem  but if you had a big lawn you might want a power mower. Bottom line... cuts great, easy to push and was affordable. The only negative I could find is that the distance between the blade and the wheels results in approx. 2 t3" of uncut grass when cutting up against a fixed wall or fence. Guess that's why they make string trimmers!
