In-depth Review of the Fiskars 18 Inch Staysharp Max Reel Mower 6201
Ease Of Use
One of the things that instantly grasps your attention is the unique handle design. Instead of the horizontal handle bar, Fiskars Staysharp max 6201 boasts of a constant loop elongated design with both vertical and horizontal sides allowing you, the user to push it around as you like. With the vertical sides you get better traction through thicker grass and for shorter grass the horizontal handles prove much easier to tackle.
Straight out of the box, the entire unit comes almost pre-assembled with the handle and few other components needing manual assembly, which is easy with a wrench thanks to the clearly mentioned instructions. It takes no more than half an hour to complete.
How it Works
Height Adjustment
Care & Maintenance
Cut Quality
The cut quality is consistent and even. As mentioned before, do not set the height more than a third of your current lawn’s average height and you will get a consistent cut quality. Any higher and you may encounter higher friction with tougher grass strains, which directly hampers the quality. One way to reduce the friction is to tinker with the blade arrangements. This takes a little getting used to but with tougher strains, the blades can be tweaked to cut at a slightly greater angle than usual allowing you to reduce the friction and yet maintain a consistent height. Once mastered, the Fiskars 6201 handle bar height and cutting adjustments take just a moment adjusting to your lawn’s exact needs.
Height Adjustment
Unlike other reel mowers, the Fiskars, 18 Inch Staysharp Max Reel Mower 6201 offers sufficient height adjustment between 1 and 4 inches. A word of caution though, this push mower works best when the cutting height is maintained at no more than 1/3rd the grass height. Set any higher and you may struggle with tougher grass strains owing to its 18 inch cutting deck. As for a clean cut in taller grass, it usually takes no more than two passes to get an even lawn height.
Maintenance
Every component on the Fiskars reel mower is designed for longevity and as such the entire unit ought to last a long time. At most, you may have to periodically sharpen the blades but from what customers say, this is usually once a year task. Oiling the joints, periodic cleaning and tightening of nuts and bolts is all the maintenance this push mower demands.
Cost Effectiveness
Sturdy in construction, packed with technology that helps rather than hinders, the Fiskars 6201 is a reel mower designed to be useful and simple. Pricing of this mower also happens to be on the lower end of the spectrum with competing brands and models boasting less features priced similarly. Is it a worthwhile investment for your lawn? If you have a small to moderate sized lawn and hardly any hilly regions, then this is the walk-behind mower to get.
