  • I recently purchased a Sun Joe MJ501M 18 inch manual reel mower to try out and see how it would preform in my lawn. I was surprised with how much I actually enjoyed this mower and how it actually cut. While it doesn't compare to my Toro or John Deere it actually was not a bad quality of cut, and I found that I really enjoyed using it. Also showing how the pgf complete is holding up in the back. I haven't put anything else on the lawn other than pgf complete in over a month.

    That thing looks like it does a good job. I was loving my fiskars until I hit a rock and it threw it off. Now I have to readjust the blades because they are rubbing the bedknife. So, rotary until I get that chance. Good review, good video Brett!

    I recently bought a 16 inch one and loved it so much I'm looking into an 18 inch one. I dunno why people say that they are super hard to use. They really aren't that hard to push as long as the blade is adjusted properly. I can push mine with one hand if I really want to.

    Good rvw. I don't like the overlap factor. Are most manual reels like that? Is this a standard size? I've got Toro 22" recycler but would like to manual reel mow ever now and then.... Do u think I'll get a clean cut w manual reel?

    So you’re tellin me there’s no way I should think about using this on 11,000 sq? Lol. It seems so light and easy to push though, at least compared to a gas powered non self propelled mower. I’m doing a renovation next weekend and seriously considering trying to keep my kbg at an inch going forward. The ol Honda might not cut it (pun intended).

      Not familiar with your area or the lawn care practices there. I am probably the only one on our block to use gypsum, though others are finding it useful also.

    You don’t have a leaf nor a stick on your property. Real earth has things on grass. My mj503m is being returned. I have EARTH on my property. This mower is only good for yards without trees and no sticks and leaves.
