GardenaComfort reel mower 400 C: Hand lawn mower with 40 cm working width of up to 250 m² lawn blade roll made of quality steel, non-contact cutting technique (4022-20)

i was skeptical when amazon recommended this lawn mower, but it was the cheapest and has good ratings so i took the plunge.item arrived and straight away i can tell it is well made, it is sturdy and has some weight to it but not too heavy to lift or to handle, very simple and straight forward to assemble. the blades are not sharp at all. cutting height can be effortlessly adjusted. the design and how the thing functions speaks the well thought out process it went through.it gets the job done so easily, it felt like a pleasure to do it. there is no need to fiddle with electric extension and minding the cable which add to the enjoyment. you dont need to use full force, but a moderate amount of force is required to mow through.the pro:simplistic design but accomplish the job so wellsturdy and well made qualityno cable and extension outlet neededeasy to clean and storei do not see any cons at this point after first time using it just now.it works and it works very well.i rarely leave amazon reviews, but after using it, i felt compelled to leave a review and let anyone else who is also skeptical and has a wildly out of control lawn to know this product is so worth it.

Love this mower, it’s a joy to use. For my little lawn it’s a million times quicker and easier and more enjoyable to use than the ancient flymo that it replaced.Really easy to push - my 80 year old mum had a go and was very impressed and my 12 year old son ran around with it making grass fly out sideways as he ran in a big curve. The grass looks happier after only a few weeks. The slowest part is cleaning the blades after use but I keep a rag and a can of machine oil nearby to do that. I ordered the catcher but sent it back unopened as I’ve been mowing so frequently that there are never enough clippings to make it worth collecting them. It’s nice and light too so getting it out of the shed is dead easy. I did have to adjust it at first as it was very noisy on first trying it because the blades were too close to the bit they cut against. But that was very easy to fix. Very happy and have now given my old mower away.

Sturdy, cuts well, easy to assemble and store. Unlike others, I found the collection bag to work fine (though a bit fiddly to put together). Over all very pleased - feels like it will last. If I have any criticism it’s that the blade is recesses quite far from the wheel so if you have lawn up to the edge of a wall, you’ll need a strimmer as well.

I have spent over 1200 in the last five years to find the best lawn mover for my large lawn including Robo lawn movers, It a great functional product but used the wrong materials for the handle. Plastic while trying to adjust the handle plastic getting loose quite easily before it broke and had to return.Had the designer/engineer choose the metal-based handle to give more life span this could be the best manual lawnmower. If engineers justification about lightweight ( few 500 grams ) for handle and the angle adjustment element he might have ended up creating ultimate manual lawnmower.I used it for few weeks in summer last week and thought that my search was over and it came to halt with the broken hinge/ angle adjuster.

It’s easy to assemble, it takes up less room in the shed and you don’t have to Fanny about plugging it in.It cuts reasonably well but it works best on perfectly flat ground. If it’s a bit bumpy, it struggles and doesn’t flow, it also scalps the ground.I’m happy with it though, I’m getting rid of electrical tools and I reckon if I look after this, I will have it for the remainder of my days.

Wow! What a great mower. I have 2 quite large gardens and yet I seem to be able to mow in less time than with my previous (electric) mower. No charging, no cables, no hassle. I have never used a petrol mower btw. Folds away neatly in the shed. Great Gardena build quality as standard. Nothing to collect clippings but I mow every day so happy to let the hormone rich clippings sit on the turf and stimulate growth. One of the best things I've bought in a long time.

Really hardwork even in our tiny 40m2 garden. You need to mow the lawn very regularly for this to be even close to manageable. Clippings everywhere. Doesn't mow all grass, no right mow. Leaves huge edges. Presses down a lot of the grass rather than mowing it. My tiny stepmother got a different more expensive lawnmower from some American brand and it's been a breeze, this is really not expected Gardena quality and an absolute waste of the investment.I bought the matching grass catcher which is not very efficient at collecting clippings - a lot falls by the wayside. You have to keep stopping. The flimsy attachment is a joke at this price point (see on the promo pictures the silver hook that attaches the top to the lawnmower, there's no indentation for it to on or anything similar). So the basket keeps detaching if you turn or reverse. I'm really disappointed, wish I had gone for a different brand for both, mower and catcher.

To be fair , I did not get a chance to use this mower , so I can't comment on how good or bad it is when lawn mowing . I bought this lawnmower because from the description it seemed light weight - '' 0.800 Kg '' , So I decided to buy it as I have a problem lawn - very uneven surface , and a light weight lawn mower that was easy to push , especially as it was only 0.800 kg, would be great . I received the mower today , as I took it out from the box , I found it really heavy and the rubber tubing on the top part of the mower's handlebar was coming apart. I have requested a refund as I will send it back .I don't like giving bad reviews but I was really disappointed that the description was not entirely correct. The Amazon staff helped me a great deal with this issue though.
