This doesn't cut tall grass, so please don't expect it to. You need either a weedwhacker or grass whip or scythe maybe if you have dandelions or seedheads sticking up over 6" because this will just fold them over.
However, if your lawn is mostly grass, this mower is amazing. You get a good workout and it dumps the clippings back on the grass, makes perfect cuts, and helps the grass spread laterally. It's really satisfying seeing the grass fly out from your human-powered mower, and the wheels leave some lines in the grass that make it easy even for a beginner to tell where they mowed. It's not the lightest mower out there, but it's really smooth and easy to push. This might be rough for you if you have hills or inclines, because again it's not the lightest reel mower. The best thing about it is the maintenance. Spray with some silicone and grass clippings won't stick to it. You don't need to sharpen it unless you get it wet. It's easy to adjust (you don't have to loosen the guard bolts, you can just use a wrench on the adjustment bolts) and it's easy to tell when you have because it slices the paper like scissors. It's quiet. You don't have to charge it or replace a battery or get special gas or go to a repair person. You can fix this mower with a 11mm and 13mm wrench, some silicone spray, and maybe a sharpening kit if performance ever degrades. What an investment and time saver.
The assembly isn't hard, it's just putting the handle together.
For maneuverability, I have some trouble turning with this, but only because I'm inexperienced and want to get the nice lines. If you're used to an electric or gas push mower, this is easy. Don't forget to overlap when mowing in rows and change direction when you go over it a second time. Celebrate your progress with using this thing, a healthy lawn and healthy you is the goal, not a perfect putting green. Enjoy!

Lawn cut looks great, but waiting for replacement
For the past 20+ years I have used a manual reel mower, so I am familiar with the challenges. This mower does a great job cutting the lawn. I have 3/4 of an acre to mow and like to keep it short (under 2 inches or less) depending on the season and rain. The mower is no heavier than a push gas mower. I have a steep hill in the front yard and am able to get my exercise for the day. :)Unfortunately, one of the welded reel blades is out of alignment and cannot be adjusted (only the long stationary blade is adjustable) so I am sending the mower back for a replacement. In the video, you can hear the noise the fifth blade makes when coming into contact with the stationary blade. If all five reel blades made the noise and rub, then adjustments with the stationary blade would solve the issue. Hopefully the replacement will have no defects.

Su sistema de Cuchillas de corte sin contacto hace que sea realmente silenciosa y no me cuesta casi nada de trabajo empujarla, cualquier persona podría hacerlo. Después de cada uso la limpio con una brocha sin poner mucho empeño y le pongo silicona en spray para evitar corrosión y que quede lista para el siguiente uso.
Hay que armarla y ajustar un poco pero no es nada del otro mundo. El único pero que le pongo es el plástico de las llantas de atrás, siento están algo débiles, ojalá me equivoque. Fuera de eso, LA RECOMIENDO 100%, hay una versión un poco más grande y el pasto lo tira hacia enfrente, creo que es mejor modelo, pero bueno esta que compré cumple con creces.
