Review:
Now that our new lawn is starting to grow in a patchy chaos sort of way. My human needed to purchase something to keep the grass cut and tidy.

They found a manual lawn mower and decided to give it a try.
Assembly of the lawn mower is relatively easy. There are not many parts to assemble as it is mainly the handle and the grass cutting catcher bag thing.
With so little to assemble, it was still entertaining to watch my human assemble it.

The first thing in favour of the lawn mower was the fact it was manual and did not require any electricity to run it. It works by pushing the mower over the grass. As you push the blades spin around and cut the grass. The speed of the blades are dictated by the speed you push the mower.

My human is ancient enough to remember manual lawn mowers from way back in history. They were quite heavy and hard to push. My human was relieved that this modern version is a lot smaller, quite light and very easy to push.

There are four height adjustments which is handy when there are still a few stones lying about.

The grass collecting bag is okay, but it is easy to spill the grass and quite fiddly when trying to remove from the lawn mower to empty. Although that may be my human not reading the instructions correctly.

Although my lawn is newly growing from seed it has several bald patches and very thin in places, it is quite easy to cut using the mower. There are one or two stubborn blades of grass, but that could be due to the patchy sate of the lawn. The area of the lawn that does have a thicker amount of grass does look very tidy and at a uniform height once mown.

There is a roller on the back of the mower that is supposed to give the lawn stripes. Once I have enough of a lawn it might be visible.

Storage of the lawn mower is brilliant as it is quite compact and the grass bag is not a solid lumpy mass and can be raised up towards the handle when storing away. It is stored against the wall in a cupboard. The floor space used while it is stored is approximately 13inces x 17 inches (34cm x 43.5cm)

Rating: 9/10 Paws
It is still early days and the lawn is not fully grown yet, but what I have seen so far is that it ticks so many boxes.
The reasonable price and not requiring energy to use.
If you have small lawn it seems ideal. If you have a large lawn you may need to check your human’s energy levels and the length of time it would take to cut the whole lawn.
Overall almost top marks for this lawn mower for its value, usability, lawn cutting and bonus human exercise apparatus BOL!
