The American Lawn Mower Company reel mower grass catcher prevents grass from being strewn across the lawn. For durability this grass catcher sports a plastic bottom, polyester rot-resistant fabric, and a heavy-duty wire frame. It features a galvanized steel bottom and adjustable attached hooks. The grass catcher conveniently folds down for easy storage. It fits with 14-, 16-, and 18-inch hand mowers.
The value of a grass catcher is undeniable. If you don't want cut grass strewn across your lawn, you need to either rake after mowing or get a grass catcher. If you've decided a grass catcher is more of a necessity than an alternative, the question becomes what kind to get. One quality to look for is durability, because, let's face it, the grass catcher has a hard row to hoe, getting dragged over all sorts of terrain while wet grass and dirt are spewed into its basket. Another essential quality is rot resistance, because wet grass can cause some damage to frail fabric. This grass catcher sports a durable plastic bottom, polyester rot-resistant fabric, and a heavy-duty wire frame. In addition, it folds up compactly for easy storage. Though some assembly is required, it's neither difficult nor complicated.

| Bought this item for the Scotts 2000-20 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower but it doesn't fit. Too narrow. Otherwise, after viewing the product, it seems it would do it's job. |

| It doesn't catch every single blade of grass - but for the money, it is a great value. I have an old Great States push reel mower and it bolted right on and I was mowing. If you want to catch clippings with your push mower, get this bag! |

| I found the grass catcher easy to install and it works pretty much as expected. I was surprised by the tendency to flip the clippings to the left, but it is easy enough to stop and push the pile back and make room for another pass. This will slow you down with your mowing, but if you have an area that you don't want to leave clippings that get tracked into your house it is worth the effort. Don't expect power mower performance in sucking up everything on the lawn because it is only going to catch the fresh clippings flipping off the blades and some of that will fall out. But for all you reel mower lovers out there this is a useful addition to your mower. |

I was very hesitant to purchase this grass catcher, given previous reviews, but I couldn't find another grass catcher that would work with my Scotts 20" reel mower. Not expecting much, I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble. All I had to do was squeeze four hooks into loops with a pair or pliers. To attach to my mower, all I had to do was clip it onto the axle of the back stabilizer wheels. I'm thinking that maybe the American Lawn Mower company made updates on the grass catcher, but mine had a plastic/rubber clip running along the bottom that attaches to the axle, and the hook to put onto the bar of the handles. Nothing to it.
For the actual mowing, my nine year old son was even able to push the mower with the bag hitting his legs or getting in his way. Yes, we moved the bag to the left, as noted in previous reviews, and yes, it's true that it doesn't catch every scrap of grass, but our needs are to gather MOST of the grass so it doesn't get weighed down with clippings.
Emptying the catcher is slightly awkward, as we ended up scooping with our hands, but you can easily detach the catcher and empty into a bag.
Overall, this grass catcher rated WAY higher than I ever anticipated, and works much better and with fewer issues than I thought. |

| The grass catcher works well with the Scott's Reel Mower. It's easy to attach, detach and empty. It would be nice to have a little better instructions on assembly, but it was easy to put together. If you're buying a reel mower, I would recommend this product. |
