My friend and I run and eco-friendly lawn care business, so when it comes time to buy more push mowers, we are always exploring what is available. We were first attracted to the Brill Razorcut 38 because of its ability to fold up (makes transportation easier) and its contact free cutting system (far less frequent sharpening). However, upon examining the mower more closely, we realized that these two pros were outweighed by cons.
Here are a few of the key problems of the Razorcut 38
- flimsy: Many plastic parts, including the wheels (things can easily fall apart, as some owners have experienced)
- illogical cutting height range: Unless you want the grass on your lawn to look like the grass on the green of a golf course, this mower's height range is too low for a healthy lawn
- small cutting path: Unless the area of your lawn is miniscule, 38 centimeters (about 15 inches) of cutting path just won't do the job quickly
- very expensive: For all of it problems, this mower is a terrible deal. I could buy 2 or 3 Scott's push mowers, which are well designed and sturdy, for the price of 1 Brill Razorcut 38 with a grass catcher.
You will never find me using any of the Brill mowers when I am working. Even if it means I have to sharpen the blades of my Scott's mowers from time to time, and walk to jobs because there was not enough room in the car for the mower, it is worth it. I'd rather save my money and time, and keep business running.
Buy either one of these instead, or really any other brand besides Brill (which includes the Sunlawn series as well, same story on price and functionality).

I previously owned a Toro self-propelled gas mower, and before that, I used a Black & Decker electric cordless mower. I was very unhappy with my Toro mower (which Consumer Reports rated as #1), since it was frequently stubborn at starting, and since the bag frequently fell off, blowing dirt and grass in my face. Ugh. The final problem was when the oil cap blew off and hot oil splashed out at me. So I started investigating electric cordless mowers again to see if the problems have been resolved related to batteries overheating, etc. During my research of electric mowers, I stumbled onto the category of Push Reel Mowers. I ended up doing quite a bit of research and concluded two important points: (1) get the Brill and only the Brill, since it seems to have better customer reviews (outside of Amazon's small sample on this model), it seems to be better made, it only requires maintenance every 8 years due to the blades not making direct contact with the grass (unlike the American brands that require frequent blade sharpening), and it offers a grass catcher bag made specifically for it. And (2) only attempt to cut 1/3 of the length of the grass at a time, since it will be too hard to push if you attempt to cut off too much grass at once. Another point of consideration for others will be the fact that using a push reel mower results in a bit better workout than using a self-propelled gas mower or the lazy man's riding mower. If you use a non self-propelled gas mower, then the workout is probably similar, since you are pushing a 16 lb. mower instead of a 50 lb. mower. I find myself moving at a faster pace with the push reel mower (since it is lighter), so I tend to get a better workout with the Brill primarily since I am moving at such a fast pace. For me, I embrace the workout - it's killing two birds with one stone: get a workout while you make your lawn pretty! :-) Do some research on the Brill via a Google search, and you will no doubt be as shocked as I was to learn just how bad for the environment gas mowers are, since they don't have the same emissions regulations that cars and motorcycles have. I have also trained my 10 year old son to use the Brill, and he loves it. He has used it a few times now and is thinking about starting a lawn mowing business with it this summer (I would never let him do this with a gas mower). One word of caution: the first mow with this mower can be a bit tough if your grass is wet and tall, so raise the blades to the max. height for the first mow. Then lower it a bit each mow. It is very easy to use after the first mow; I'm not sure why the first mow is harder. My favorite points about this mower (other than the obvious environmental benefits) is that I can interact with my kids while mowing, I can stop and not have to worry about whether or not it will restart, I can enjoy listening to my iPod while mowing, and I don't have to worry about rocks or sticks flying up in my face (if you hit a stick, it will just stop in its tracks until you roll it backwards to release the stick). All in all, I have been very happy with the Brill Razorcut 38.
I fear I cannot recommend this mower. I have a very large yard, over five acres, which I either mow with a lawn tractor or have it mowed by professionals. I do have several small gardens with grassy areas that need to be mowed quite often and a power mower just will not do in these areas. This mower being reviewed here lasted for one year of very low and gentle use before it more or less fell apart. There was a problem right from the start with the quality of cut, but I put up with that...sort of. Then toward the end of the seasons, things started going bad. Parts began falling off, the blade needed constant adjustment, the handle kept falling off and it made stranger and stranger noises. Now I am no mechanic, that is for sure, but neither did I just fall off the turnip wagon. I can fix things, and usually have no problems even with the power mowers and tractors unless it is something pretty major. I never did figure out what was wrong with this thing...there just seemed to be so many little things that just did not work correctly. When I pay this much for a push mower, I expect a bit more for my money. Sorry to have to give this one such a low rating but I can only go by what I experienced.
I ordered this elsewhere online, after my fiasco withe the cheapo Chinese Gilmour reel mower I ordered through Amazon. At least Amazon ROCKS - their return policy is the best! The Brill Razorcut 38 mower I bought instead is indeed well-built, as it should be for the premium price you pay for it. BUT... it wouldn't even cut the thick grass in my backyard, and I just mowed it with my old Honda gas mower 3 days before! The Brill just bogged down and stopped even if I literally ran up to that section of yard to get a "head of steam" up. I tried it on my front yard, which is thinner, and was uncut, but it couldn't cut the higher blades of grass. Even with 3 or 4 whacks, the high blades of grass bounced right back up, as if to laugh at this unpowered wimp of a lawnmower. Sorry, you enviro-whackos, but I'm forced to conclude these unpowered reel mowers are useless if you have any kind of real yard. Those of us in the real world with yards bigger than 500 sq. ft, and some weeds and thick grass, need some POWER! I'd love to go green, but I gotta mow my lawn! The electric mowers aren't quite there yet in battery run time, so I'm gonna order a new Honda. VROOM!
Pros:
No more lawnmower fumes and heat in my face.
Cutting my lawn is now very quiet.
My hands are no longer tingle from the vibrations coming from my old gas powered push mower.
Sturdy handle design. This is very important.
Very easy to assemble and use.
Very small footprint, easy to store.
Virtually maintenence free.
Cons:
This mower DOES NOT like tall thick grass. You'll really have to push hard to get it to go through thick grass and will probalby have to go over what you just cut a second time to make the lawn look manicured.
If you fertilize your lawn you'll need to cut it about every other day. Like I said this mower does not like tall thick grass.
If you have any large mature trees in your yard this mower is not for you. You'll spend too much time picking up very small twigs that otherwise will get caught in the mower blades and bring you to a sudden stop.
Little bumps in the lawn have a tendancy to bring the mower to a stop.
Brill could have made cutting high grass easier if this mower was capable of cutting at a higher leangth then what is available.
Other observations:
The size of your lawn doesn't matter as long as it is fairly smooth and not too hilly.
Don't throw away the little metallic strip that comes with the mower. This is your blade gauge and will cost you $10 to replace.
Overall if your in good shape and have patience with this mower you should be okay. The most improtant suggestion I would make is that you hold on to your gas mower to keep your grass under control when rain prevents cutting, otherwise you'll be in for a shoving match with this mower.
