Works pretty well
By Derek Hofmann
I purchased this mower from a local retailer to cut my bermuda grass lawn. I don't want to have to break out the big mower anytime the grass needed mowing, and my neighbors like to play in the pools and have barbecues a lot, so I needed something quieter that I could use even in the early hours of the morning.I think this mower is a little more difficult to push than a regular gas or electric mower, but not much. The main problems with a mower like this are:1. It doesn't work well when the grass has grown tall. You'll need to mow more often. In return, you'll have a nice, green lawn.2. Sometimes you have to go over the same patch of grass twice to get it all. I think this is pretty standard for manual reel mowers, but nevertheless this is why I'm giving it only 4 stars out of 5.3. It doesn't get the edges very well. You'll need a weed trimmer more than you would have otherwise. But I use one even with my regular mower, so it doesn't matter to me.Contrary to what some sources say, manual reel mowers are fine for dense grasses like bermuda, provided you get the right type. The 7-bladed reel mowers like this one are designed for bermuda and other "bent" grasses.

By S. Kurup
I have a fairly small lawn(about 6000sq ft) of bermuda grass. I used the default factory setting and it wasnt cutting much. I adjusted the height to the lowest possible and my lawn looks a lot better now. Like the previous reviewer said you will need an edger/trimmer.

Awesome for small yards with creeping bermuda
By Z. Cavaricci
I was a little skeptical since a couple of people had a bad experience with a reel mower with their lawns where I live (Texas), but I am just guessing they didn't have the correct mower for their style. This mower works wonders for my small yard with creeping bermuda grass. It is very sharp and cuts very well, we'll have to see how it holds up over the years, but I have already used it 4 times without a hitch. The yard comes out looking superior to a regular lawn mower that tears instead of cuts, plus I actually think its a lot of fun cutting with a reel mower, since it feels like you're really accomplishing something as the grass goes flying when you run over it.All in all, I would highly recommend this mower to anyone that has a smallish yard, and has bermuda style grass.
