Product Description
The Brill Razorcut 33 is a premium, German engineered reel lawnmower that is perfect for small to medium sized yards. The lawnmower features a cylinder with hardened steel cutting blades, with the spindle mounted on sealed ball bearings so that it spins more easily. Unlike many other reel mowers, the Brill blades use a contact free cutting technology, preventing metal on metal contact and significantly increasing blade life. The "silent cut" design means that you can hear the environment around you when you mow and not disturb others with engine noise. A top cover protects your flowers and shrubs from the blades, and the extended spoiler in the back helps keep grass clippings from landing on your shoes when you cut the grass. The cutting height is infinitely adjustable from 14 to 45 millimeters (.7 inches to 1.8 inches), with a measuring scale on both sides of the mower. The Razorcut 33 features 5 blades, which is the best number for the balance between ease of pushing and grass cutting ability. Metal components of the Razorcut have a dry powder coat, which resists chipping, scratching and rust. The cutting width is 13 inches and the wheels are 8 inch. The Brill Razorcut 33 weighs just 17 pounds, which makes it very easy to pick up, and easy to push through the grass. Other competing reel mowers weigh more than 50 pounds! The Razorcut 33 comes fully assembled, except for the handle. The handle goes together in minutes and snaps onto the mower, with no tools required. The Brill Razorcut 33 works on most types of grass, but is not recommended for St. Augustine, Zoysia or Bermuda. The Razorcut 33 has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

I have had this lawn mower for two years now. The blades are still sharp. It's lightweight. I can mow at night or in the morning and not worry about the noise bothering anyone. I'm single and I love that I never have to worry about it not starting! It cuts the grass beautifully. Another girlfriend just bought one and is thrilled with hers as well.
The only annoying thing is that if you are carrying the lawn mower for whatever reason, as in I have to lift it from my garage up my cement steps to my yard, the handle sometimes unlatches off the mower part. There should be a clip or something to keep the handle hooked on, but there isn't....

I so wanted to love this mower....but alas, it is not to be. Our lawn is a little bumpy, and this mower cannot tolerate unevenness in the mowing surface. It just stops. When we try to push through that, it rips out the grass by its roots. Not good.
The other drawback is that the maximum mowing height is less than 1.5 inches. For a green lawn here in Southern California, it's best to have the grass longer for it to be healthy. After two attempts at making this mower work for us, we are sending it back. Hopefully, the Fiskar mower we ordered will do a better job.
For those who have a golf course type lawn (even, well-manicured) this mower will work probably work like a charm.
Update 5/17/11: Our new Fiskar push mower is perfect for our needs! Amazon got it to us quickly, and refunded us for the Brill mower we returned. We are happy customers.

My husband has been asking for a Brill lawn mower for at least 4 years. I thought he was crazy to want to go back to a push; man powered lawn mower. It was suppose to be his fathers day present but I came home from work and found that he'd all ready opened it. He loves the way the grass looks after it's cut and now we don't need to worry about pull cords or running out of gas. I wish he'd let me use it though!
