I love this mower!
1st Plus: this mower always starts. 2nd: it almost rolls itself across the lawn/garden area. 3rd: I have hills, mounds, fine grass, coarse grass, dandelions, ferns, and it cuts all with ease. The only limitation is the operator's stamina. It also is amazingly light-weight. A question: How do you recommend it to be sharpened? It looks to be almost 'self sharpening' ?? I don't have a service shop in my small town/area.

cheep construction
Less a dozen mows and the mower is no longer functioning. The cheep plastic gears don't catch; the large wheels are spinning but the blade is not.
When it did work the angle you needed to push at was not comfortable. Causes a lot of back strain.
Considering it don't last two months before being unusable, the price is unacceptable.

Not bad!
This is my first experience with a reel mower. I mowed today for the first time this year (which is always the worst). I had very tall clumpy grass due to all the rain we have had in this area. This mower would stop dead in it's tracks at some clumps of very tall grass, but my power mower would stall out too. A little work and it did eventually win out over the tall grasses. I honestly think this is easier than my clumsy heavy self propelled mower and it was nice to be able to just stop and toss something out of the way and not have to worry about killing myself trying to restart the mower again. On normal length grass this mower was just about effortless. I loved the fact that it's quiet and didn't stir up bugs the way my power mower does and the birds didn't even pay any attention to me while I was mowing. I mainly bought it for areas of my yard that are too steep to safely mow with a power mower, but I am thinking now that I might just use it more than for certain areas. It was almost fun! I can pick it up and carry it where ever I want to and I certainly couldn't do that with my other mower. No gas is so nice. No, they don't cut everything all perfect, but that's ok by me, it still does a really nice job.

Bad Engineering
After owning several lesser known brands, I decided to spend the money and buy what I thought would be top of the line but was I ever wrong. This mower represents the worst engineering I have ever seen - as soon as you start pushing, the roller (light plastic) lifts off the ground and the blades start hacking. No matter what you do, this mower will not cut evenly. Save your money and buy one less expensive - you will get a much better value.

Husqvarna 64; Not recommended
The mower is priced a bit higher than American made brand. Husqvarna does not sell a sharpening kit nor does Customer Support does not have any knowledge of the mower. Sharpening services don't like the mower because it's too light, and after sharpening does not perform well.
