Battery Powered Reel Mower // Allett Liberty 43 Review

[@TheLawnCareNut]

That thing reminds me of my first college girlfriend "Tiny and cute and VERY expensive"

[@515Mike]

Hail to the Master! Great review but I'm sticking with my rotary! We seem to be a dying breed these days...

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

@@515Mike good call!

Sometimes being smaller gets you into smaller spaces. I know she that! 😂

[@whocares5824]

Good fluff job but no suction.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

And the battery doesn't match!

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Thanks for having me at your sanctuary (pun intended). Had a great time. Hopefully we can give one of these away this season. It's all about people. It's why we do this!

[@TheLawngestYard]

Really cool! Electric power tools are taking over the lawn and i'm not upset at all. When I finally make the commitment to a reel mower this will be on the list. Thanks.

[@TheLawngineer]

Nice collaboration gentlemen! That Allett looks awesome! It’s on the wish list.

[@drewsxb]

I just received my allett liberty 43 about a month ago. I have 2 small complaints but other than that I love this thing! Super quiet, battery powered, great cut and the rollers can stripe almost any grass type. I have zoysia mowed at just under 1/2” and it puts decent stripes down. Short cut zoysia is not that easy to get well defined stripes. It’s a great machine and the attachments / cartridges are what puts this thing over the top. Great machine

[@paulgenova9204]

I've got a relatively small yard w plenty of curves, so te size should be fine ... I've wanted one of these and was looking at swardsman, but it looks like the quality has taken a bit of a dive

[@godfather1116]

My yard is exactly 1000sq feet and I have this mower, it does the job very well.

[@SilentKiller-fx1qj]

Your commentary cracks me up. Love the videos

[@thelawnbeast1644]

Great review man. Looks like you guys had a great time. I’ve used the Kensington and they are great machines.

[@MrLushLawn]

Great video guys. 🔥

[@AndrewDobek04]

It's a nice machine for someone with a small lawn who wants a reel mower. If I had the time, money and commitment I would purchase this and reel mow my 2,300 square foot front lawn (I would still rotart mow the back)

[@TheNeighborDominator]

That is exactly what I will be doing this season. Business up front with the reel and party in the back with the fescue!

[@upnylawn3519]

Great one guys!!! I guess if my lawn would be that even I believe is a great investment

[@okielawnguy]

I’ve looked that exact mower. I agree, it’s not cheap.

[@TheNeighborDominator]

It is not cheap but it is nice to not have to deal with gas and oil. Plus it's light to maneuver around.

Could be a “reel” option for smaller yards. I’m a rotary lawn but still interesting to see the options.

[@TheLawnShark]

Very cool! Love the concept!

[@richardsmith1161]

Man, that stripes nice. I’d imagine it’s easy to maneuver.

[@GW._.]

Looking at getting one of these here in the uk but there sold out they’ve sent them all over the pond dam it. You’ve got all the chemicals and now you got all the mowers 😆

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Sorry. In my defense I got mine right when they got here now everyone wants one!

[@neilfpv]

Can reel mower be set to 2.5 or 3 inches?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

It can go higher when you take the roller off and put on the wheels.

[@shion_lwn]

I wanted to ask the same question. thank you! I have been using reel mower but cutting higher. have been considering to transition to low cut and try Liberty 43.

[@patriotsandtyrants]

I love my reel mower (manual) and I love my primary rotary (timemaster) and am okay with my second rotary (Honda). Add in my green works dethatcher and my Stihl trimmer / edger and I still don’t have enough invested to match the cost of one of these powered reel mowers. I would love to have one, but they are prohibitively expensive. Does it really cost that much more to build a reel than a rotor?

[@TheNeighborDominator]

They are pricey but when comparing to the Toro it's not to bad. To get a decent running/looking GM I was finding them for around 1500. So I thought 500 more and I can have something new and quieter

[@braddick4130]

I looked to order a 12 blade cylinder from these guys and they wanted to charge 7-800$ just for the cylinder, so it seems that’s where the extra cost is really. Maybe the drum drive as well

[@shion_lwn]

Considering to get Liberty43. My yard is only 2000sq.ft. would 2.5Ah battery would be enough ?? or recommend 5Ah ?

[@eolivares1976]

What type of turf do you have? Looks great!

[@nobody5238]

awesome im a fan of reel mower...

[@TurfTherapy]

Nice 👌🏾🌱

[@keith-kalfas]

Looks great

[@tookster7483]

I can't imagine that the "aerator" cartridge actually does anything. By the looks of it it will only go down 1/4" at best? Any thoughts?

[@hendrymuljadi3394]

The sloped area by your fence, how does this mower handle that part? Any issues going up the slope?

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

It definitely slipped and I had to give it some umph but I’d say that’s true of any mower on that slope

[@JIMMYJREVIEWS_thaiM-A-F-I-A]

Can you review the battery powered tip master?

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of that. Have a link?

[@jrstf]

I'd love a reel mower, especially the other cartridges, but this one convinces me I did right buying a 20 inch corded rotary mower. Comparing to the 20 inch Allett reel, the rotary weighs 62 pounds, the reel 125 pounds. I wouldn't be able to handle the hills with the extra weight of the reel. The rotary at $180, the reel at $4639 (not including battery) and I would need two batteries for my size lawn. My first rotary lasted 4 years before the spot welds gave up, with the extra weight I'm not sure the reel would last even that long. (I have full grown trees, they grow their roots on the surface, really rough on a mower bouncing over the roots).

[@jkprojectsnstuff697]

Hoosier here, too. Just received the Toro 60V Super Recycler last week and I reviewed it. I'm not a video guy like you, but are you planning a review for the 60V Super Recycler? I'm curious what your thoughts would be.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

If I can get my hands on it I will buy my wife might kill me if I bring home another mower 😂

[@miketharp9732]

One thing that Clint's mower has that it doesn't come with is a very rare Striperman signature sticker on it. There are only 3 stickers in the world out there and he has one of them. :)

[@mnissenn]

How steep is your hill? I have one that is nearly 45 degrees. Would the Allett cope? Thanks

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Probably about the same. It took a little push on the hill but way easier than my toro greensmaster

[@brodygoalie]

How do you sharpen the blades cartridges???

[@SuperTA329]

You can backlap and if for some reason your not getting a good quality cut you should call an Allett dealer. If your local its easy if not you can send the reel out and pay the shipping. Another option would be to call your local golf course and see if they would consider doing.

[@piyush83dimri]

Hint: You need to use a product a lot more than you did, before reviewing it. Kinda silly that you didn't even put it through a single full battery cycle beforehand, and ideally, through enough of a season that you find out it's more of a PITA to clean it and sharpen blades.

That's a commercial mower for golf courses That mow their lawns daily, Not for the homeowner that mows their lawn once a week.The question is how long will the batteries be available before the manufacturer closes or retailers in you local area stop selling them.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

This mower is made for a homeowner.. no golf course would use this mower. It uses a green works battery so as long has green works is still in business and I don’t see them going away. If they do, I’m sure allett will make a conversion kit for a different battery.

[@Striperman]

I could use another one. I hope I win :)
