Sun Joe 24-Volt Ion+ Cordless Push Reel Mower Kit, 24V-CRLM15

I'm happy with the mower. My only concern is that they stated it would come with a 4.0 and 2.0 battery but it only came with the 4.0 battery

Perfect solution for my small yard, 500 square foot mowed 3 times and still have 3/4 of battery.

Will not cut thick grass, stalls constantly and eventually drive gear stripped. Would be great if a little stronger.

Have a small, sloping Bermuda front yard and was looking for an affordable replacement reel mower option over my existing rotary lawn mower which tended to scalp my yard in places (did spread sand this spring to try to even it out in places ….. seemed to work ok but more sand next season). Mower comes with a 4 A-hr battery which was sufficient to mow my 2200 sf yard at the lowest height setting. However, I must note that when I performed a test cut, I realized the mower did not perform well with taller, invasive grass species in the yard. In most cases, it just bent them over. THIS WAS POINTED OUT BY THEM IN THEIR OPERATORS MANUAL. Therefore, I cut my lawn with my rotary mower to its lowest setting then recut using the reel mower. I was very satisfied with the final cut. It had a golf course like quality to it and will only improve with future cuts. (This cut removes about 35-40 gallons a grass clipping….. it was a substantial amount of additional grass cuttings) The adjustable grass deflector was helpful to ensure the cuttings discharged into the open grass catcher. I emptied the catcher about every 200 feet. The reel itself is battery powered which is great; however, it is manually propelled. So regardless of speed, the reel blades are turning at a constant rate, unlike old reel mowers. The advertised width of the cut is 15 inches which seems about right. However, there is about 4 inches of uncut space from both edges of the cutting reel to the outside of the mower wheel. With a raised sidewalk and driveway, this leaves a 4 inch swath of grass that has to be trimmed with a trimmer. I checked the alignment of the reel blades using the included paper strips and found it to be adjusted correctly straight out of the box. I need to learn how to use grinding paste to keep blades sharpened so future cuts are clean and crisp. The mower is light weight. I would not recommend this mower for larger yards just due to the amount of time it would take to cut it. Overall, I am pleased with this mower and believe it to be a good value over other powered reel mowers
