Love Allett, reel mowing changed my yard. My Liberty 43 was $3200 to my door. When I priced out the Stirling is $6300. Unfortunately, to dear for this chap. That said, my 43 does me just fine.

[@apilkey]

If I don’t currently have nice lawn can I still use this mower? Or do I have to get my grass to a certain level first prior to using this? My soil isn’t the greatest either and a bit bumpy in places, seems like it needs to be perfect for reel mowers? Does it work on cold season grasses and tall fescue, or only grasses that can be kept at lower heights? I think I would keep it at its max 2” height for my grass type.

[@andrewglose6203]

“Oh it’ll grow back … but look how good it cut it!!” Quotes from Pete haha. Fantastic attitude sir some people are Learning much more from you by the way that you act, then just landscaping.

A true testament of your character, Pete. Offering your own extra discount for all the viewers. If I could only afford to buy one, I sure wouldn't pass it up.

[@DevotedtoTruth]

The fact that you can engage the drive feature independently from the blade is next level. Particularly valuable when turning in the lawn going over different terrain, using the other attachments that doesn’t have the drive feature such as the aerator and when walking the mower to store as well.

[@theunkownmr.562]

Engaging the blade and drive separately is NOT next level. That's been around for a long time. You're giving them WAY too much credit considering the price. At this price, you better expect this feature.

[@SouthPawEd]

Pete, that entro was me just this past weekend. I'm mowing my yard at ½" (hybrid Bermuda), but I keep my ditches at 2" because of how steep and rough they are. I accidentally buzzed down a section of my ditch with the reel mower, and my two thoughts were "Well that's a bad deal," and "look at how good it cut it." 😂

[@majfeb17]

😂😂 that was the best start to one of your videos ever!!

[@bamabladez]

I understand the clearances on a reel mower is what makes a reel mower what it is but I still say material wise how can they make a decent push mower for $500 but nobody has made a reel mower under $1000. If one of these companies can produce a decent powered reel mower at that 5 to 700 range that would be game changing!95% of people have no idea what a reel mower is because of that.

[@christucker8132]

It’s called Sun Joe electric reel mower for $250

[@jadesportster]

@@christucker8132 or fiskars

[@IntegrityDistribution]

A bargain at 1.5x the cost. It’s a toy. You could also get a clunky 1-function GreensMaster for 3x the price w/ no verticut, no scarifier, no brush and takes time to raise or lower the blade. This is a good price for what you get in my opinion.

[@bamabladez]

So I have the sunjoe. My issue with it is it doesn't have the power of gas and also the reel is cheap. So I'm fine with the cheap reel just give me the option to replace them and sharpen...Just like replacing blades on a $150 rotary push mower.

[@buenoblanco]

As a long time rotary cutter, ive started to switch over to an EGO system. Only waiting on the rider for the big property. Love it!

[@herbhouston5378]

Incredible system! So much more than a mower my dad bought back in the 50s. I think it was a Jacobson-Lawnboy. It was orange and had a two stroke motor and the only speed adjustment was how much you opened the throttle. For it's time, it was a good mower, but this... this so much more.

[@mcnell311]

"But look at how good it cut it." 🤣 You're a better man than me, Pete.

[@SeanHayesParleys]

It's fantastic! This model has everything in a reel mower system I could want and more EXCEPT it's only 20" wide. With my 29" wide Cub Cadet rotary mower, it takes me about an hr & 20 mins to mow my lawn. Even with all the helpful attachments, I can't justify spending $5k+ on a unit that will significantly increase the time I have to dedicate to maintaining my lawn. If Allett ever creates a unit that's 30-35" wide WITH all of these attachment options, THEN I'll leap to purchase!

[@rolandhall8277]

The Allett C34 is exactly what you're asking for, but at a price....

Are on a whole different level. I would love to do stuff like that but don’t have the time to put in. I have always loved the sound of the push reel mowers. You could tell the guy felt true pain when the mower scalped that section at the end. You can tell he loves what he does and has a real passion. Then dudes like it’s only grass and I was like dude it beyond chill as any other person would of went ballistic. He was right about one thing it cut it smooth that’s for sure. Maybe one day I can get in to all that but doubt I could buy those high end mowers. Would be nice to have but 6 grand ouch. Can you tell I don’t have deep pockets 😂 Great video and informative really open my eyes as to there is more to lawn care than what I thought I knew.

Here's an idea Allet, be the first to create a decent average homeowner reel mower at a realistic price. Yes most homeowners could afford a $3000 liberty but most average homeowners who only have 4 to 5k sqft arent going to pay $3k for a lawn mower. It's funny they say for the homeowner but that is a $6000 mower!!

How is the Allet working for you?

[@justonpreble4083]

@@randyman8984 I have used all of the cultivars and mow twice a week. I love that it is electric. The EGO battery 🔋 works great 👍🏼 I bought a 12AMH and don’t even use half of it to mow my entire yard. There is a lot of engineering that definitely went into this. The cartridge system is a joy to swap out. Definitely super fast and so easy. The things I don’t like are that the grass catcher does not have a top flap with like a magnetic strip to block small particles from flying out. I wish the unit was wider. They have two sizes why make them so similar. I’d prefer 25-27 inch wide. My lawn is still a bit lumpy and I’m about to bring in 4 yards of volleyball sand to smooth out the lumps. That should make my yard look even better. Overall I’m happy with my purchase. Value for the Dollar I think it’s over priced for its size. But I get that it’s new and the 1st n the industry at this level of quality. My kids still mow 30+lawns a week in our neighborhood. They use all EGO equipment.

He seems like a good guy and genuinely concerned about the low cut. I would love to have one of these. But we grow St Augustine and I dont hear of anyone reel mowing it because it needs to be cut much higher. I cut my lawn at 4.5 inches. I do love the idea of having the cartridges so I could use the verti cut (or however you spell it) which I think I could do on St Augustine.

[@vk2him]

I'm in Australia and have St Augustine - over here we call it Buffalo grass. I have an Allett Kensington and it's cut just under an inch in height which is what we do over here - I never understand why Americans cut your grass so high, it looks so much tidier when it's lower. Verticutting St Augustine isn't a good idea unless you're doing a full renovation - it tends to rip out the grass and it's too aggressive, better to use the scarifier on St Augustine

[@toddfromflorida]

@@vk2him I've heard some say that buffalo grass and St Augustine are the same. But I have heard equal numbers say they are different. Maybe buffalo grass is just one variety of St Augustine and it may have much different growth habits that what we use in my part of the USA. I can tell you with 100% certainty that St Augustine varieties that we specifically grow in Florida grow better at around 3-4 inches. The varieties we use are Floratam, 'Classic', among others. I think you would be surprised at how nice and tidy my grass looks. Edged up nice with a smooth cut at 4.5 inches. So thick it is almost hard to walk through. I did read about a few varieties like Palmetto that can be cut 1.5-2.5 inches. That may be similar to the variety you have over there. When you let the grass grow more leaf, it can use the blades as reservoirs for moisture when we get into the 90-100 degrees f with no rain. I imagine your weather is similar.
