DS1200GC Replacement Push Reel Mower Grass Catcher

This mower is perfect for my golf green I made in my backyard. I was wondering how to cut it and read it cuts as low as 1/2 inch and it does. I used it the first time and it came out great. It’s easy to use and lightweight but solid. It looks like a golf club green that’s going to need a grooming in a couple of days. Hopefully my putting will improve!

This thing was not aligned at the factory. It was my first time using this mower, and did not understand why it cut grass so badly. I read the instructions: They said alignment was not necessary, because it was done at the factory. After cutting grass over and over (the same spot mind you), I decided to follow the instructions to align the cutting blades. Sadly it took me several tries to say the least. If you are familiar with these machines it may not be a problem for you. It did arrive early. It was easy to assemble. I recommend adding some oil to the blades and wheels from time to time. It is starting to cut grass better. I may have gotten it close enough to proper blade alignment. Also you must not let the grass grow too much, because it will be harder to cut overgrown grass. I sure after I get the align down it will cut very well.

I bought this mower because it would be good exercise and easy to use on the land vlose to our home, let me tell you I'm glad I did! It works great!

I am not sure why others have an issue with this cutter. It is a simple mower that you push to cut your grass. Mine works fine. It cuts the grass and the weeds. I may have to run over some spots a few times, but that is ok. As long as it gets the job done, then I am good. I have an electric mower which I love, however, lugging it from the back to the front can be tiring at times, so I mainly use this one for just the front and the electric one for the back. It works for me, and I am happy that I have this one now.

Came with no instruction manual, had to figure out assembly without one, couldn't even tell if all the right pieces were there

Hard to get adjusted so it will cut. I am 5’5” and it feels small and is hard to push. It could definitely use better directions on how to adjust the reel and a longer handle. I had to google/YouTube other brands to try and figure out how to adjust the blades so they actually cut. The padding on the handle is already torn from 1 use.

Lightweight, easy to assemble and use, nice wide cut, and a real looker. However, sad to say, one wheel was bent out of alignment - I presume as it was being shipped from China. The mower works well enough for my purposes, so I didn’t risk breaking it completely by messing with it.

mower came with Dull blades, had to purchase a blade sharpener separately.
