Push Reel Lawn Mower Showdown: 14-Inch vs 4-Bladered... American Lawn Mower Excellence Tested!
Among the contenders in our push reel mower showdown, the American Lawn Mower Company 1204-14 14-Inch 4-Blade model in red stands out for its balance of power and precision. We found it surprisingly efficient for medium-length grass, though the four blades did favor smoother finishes over ultra-tight trimming. The 14-inch deck struck a sweet spot for evenness, though we noted it required slightly more effort on very tall or wiry lawns. Our setup poll revealed a common preference for the red trim—it popped against green blades while maintaining a classic aesthetic. While not the absolute easiest push mower, its robust construction and consistent shave made it a standout. We appreciate how it lives up to American Lawn Mower’s reputation, blending practicality with timeless design.
