Amazon.com Review
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.

 Worked fine for me. July 26, 2009

Although there are a lot of poor reviews for this product, I found it to work just fine. It was easy to put together, easy to attach to my mower (American Lawn Mower Company 1815-18 18" push reel mower) and caught 85-90 percent of the grass that was thrown at it, which was better than I expected it to. I'm happy with it. I don't really understand why there are so many bad reviews on this item. By the looks of most of them, people are trying to use a grass catcher made for an ALMC on a different brand mower. I don't see anywhere in the description of the item the word "universal". I mean, it would make sense in theory that a bag made from only mesh and a wire frame would work just fine on most any push reel mower, but you can't say that the thing is a piece of junk just because you are trying to put it on a brand that it wasn't designed for, no matter how simple of a design it might be, and it ends of falling off or not catching enough grass while attached to your non-ALMC mower. I admit, when I started making my paces around the yard to test the thing out, it did fall off once or twice. But, the reason that it did is because I have a pretty uneven yard when it comes to the height of the soil. There are little bumps, lumps and dips all over the place, and when I would mow over them the bag would get pushed off the holders from underneath as I was mowing the "down slope" of the bump. So, if you have a flat yard and an ALMC 14" 16" or 18" push reel mower, this product should work for you.
Works great! June 22, 2009

Works great with American Lawn Mower Company 16-Inch Bent Reel Mower #1705-16. Easy to assmble. Its plastic fabric is lighter than my old canvas grass catcher. Sometimes disengages from the lawn mower when backing up, but that is expected. I advise composting the lawn clippings instead of throwing them away.
for the price it works well May 2, 2010

I had alot of doubts buying this because of the negative reviews. Nonetheless, it's been worth every penny. It saves the grass, catches probably 80% of it, and comes on and off easily. For $22, it's a must-buy if you have an American brand mower. Exceeded my expectations for sure.
fits great with my american 14' reel mower January 18, 2010

i found this works really well with my great states 16 inch mower. of course it does take a little common sense to operate correctly, and it does not catch everything--but certainly better than nothing and well worth the money.
