Product Description
The Brill Razorcut 38 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 38 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 15.2 inches and the wheels are 8 inch. The Brill Razorcut 38 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 38 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 38 works on most types of grass, but is not recommended for St. Augustine, Zoysia or Bermuda. The Razorcut 38 has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

For the most part a nice mower.,

This review is from: Brill 78371 Razorcut 38 15-Inch Reel Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
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.

Less Functionality for Much More Money,
This review is from: Brill 78371 Razorcut 38 15-Inch Reel Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
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).

Not worth the money,
By OneOleMan "OneOleMan" (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brill 78371 Razorcut 38 15-Inch Reel Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased the Brill Razorcut 38 in February, (not from Amazon though), and I am thoroughly disappointed with the machine. It may be highly rated by some people but in my opinion it's an overpriced piece of garbage. When I received it the first thing I noticed is the hubcaps had fallen off. Granted this is simply a cosmetic feature and doesn't affect the operation of the machine. The next thing I noticed is that I had to spread the lower part of the handles to create tension when it's inserted in the machine otherwise the handles continually fell off. Would you call this poor engineering? And finally after two and half months of easy use one of the plastic wheels is starting to fall off.
Warrantee on the machine appears to be another issue. From everything I have been able to find the manufacturers warrantee appears to be valid only in the European Union, warrantee in the United States apparently are offered by the individual seller. This is a machine sold at Mercedes-Benz prices and is of Yugo quality.
