We invite you to get off your seat and push a reel mower for an hour and we are confident that you will love the experience.
The power source behind the reel mower hasn't changed much in 110 years. It's still readily available on demand. You can still fuel it for the price of a banana and a glass of milk. It always works when you want it to, and it doesn't leave any residue for the environment to absorb other than a couple of foot prints in a perfectly cut lawn. It's people. The power behind the mowers in 1895, and the power behind them today. What has changed is the product available to the people. The American Lawn Mower Company, has applied a century of technology to a good old fashioned idea: the reel lawn mower. Today's reel mowers are lightweight and easy to maneuver. They're ideal for today's smaller lawns, and today's hectic lifestyles. They're always ready when you're ready, and they're almost maintenance free with no spark plugs to foul or engines to clog up.   They're good to the environment and they're good to the lawn, snipping the grass for a clean, precise cut. A cut that's helped us carve our niche as the nation's largest manufacturer of in-demand, on-demand reel mowers.

Low Maintenance, Low Headaches No engine also pays off with low maintenance. No Gas. No oil. No spark plugs. No oily rags. No running to the gas station or hardware store to get supplies or parts. Reel mowers are simple mowers. Brush them off occasionally. Spritz the blades with WD-40. And sharpen them every other season. Better Cut, Better Lawn. Rotary mowers tear at the grass, hacking off the tops of blades and leaving them open to disease. Reel mowers snip the grass, cutting each blade like a pair of scissors. It's a precise, clean cut that makes for a healthier and more attractive lawn. And because of the cutting action of a reel mower you can leave reel clippings on the lawn. Reel mowers create a fine spray of clippings that act as a mulch and decompose quickly, releasing nitrogen into the lawn. Over the course of a cutting season, that mulch is equivalent to a free application of fertilizer.
The "paper test" makes sure the cut is even across the reel.
Easy to use, Easy to store    Modern reel mowers are nothing like their clunky cousins of yesteryear. They're not bulky. They're not cumbersome. They're not a pain to push. They're light (only 16 - 32 pounds). They're maneuverable. And they're simple to store – whether you park them in the garage or hang them on the wall.
