" American Lawn Mower Red: Tested Push Lawn Mower Showdown… Plus Blade Versus Choice!

Last weekend, we测试ed the American Lawn Mower Company 1204-14 for ourselves—its bold red frame stood out, as did its performance. The 14-inch, 4-blade reel mower cuts smoothly through grass, though we found it best in flat, medium-length lawns. Unlike gas models, this reel cutter is quiet and emission-free, a plus for morning rides. We compared it side by side with rotary mowers and found the reel variety significantly lighter on our arms.

But the real debate? Blade choice. Our test showed four blades provide sharper, more even cuts than three, as long as the grass isn’t too dense. We love how easy the lever-tuned height adjustment is, though the handle’s plastic grip could use a softer texture. For us, it’s a solid mid-tier mower—practical, budget-friendly, and more eco-conscious than its counterparts. More to come on the showdown, but for now, the Red 1204-14 is earning a place in our garage."
