Detailed Review
The Earthwise 1715-16EW is a manual walk-behind push reel lawn mower designed for homeowners seeking a planet-friendly alternative to gasoline mowers. It provides a simple, hand-powered cutting solution that avoids fuel maintenance while keeping turf neatly trimmed.
Equipped with a 16-inch cutting width and a 7-blade ball bearing reel made of alloy steel, this mower is designed to maintain blade sharpness over extended use. The 7-blade setup is specifically tailored to handle dense grass types including bent grass, Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, and Seashore Paspalum.
For height customization, the self-cutting reel features an adjustable cutting height ranging from 0.5 inches up to 2.5 inches. Movement across the lawn is supported by 10-inch composite wheels alongside durable steel side plates that maintain the mower frame structure during operation.
As a hand-push reel mower, it relies completely on human power rather than an engine or battery. The 2.5-inch maximum height setting also means it is not built for lawns that need to be kept taller than that limit.
Verdict: The Earthwise 1715-16EW is an excellent choice for property owners with specific turf types like Bermuda or Zoysia who want a clean, gas-free cut. If you want a non-powered, 7-blade reel mower with customizable cut heights up to 2.5 inches, this tool fits the bill.
Specifications
- Cutting Width: 16 inches
