Earthwise 16-Inch 7-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower and 14-16 Inch American Lawn Mower Grass Catcher Bundle

What It Is

This is a bundle pairing the Earthwise 16-inch 7-blade push reel mower with an American Lawn Mower grass catcher designed for 14- to 16-inch reel mowers. It’s for manual, non-powered reel mowing on small, flat lawns where you want to collect clippings rather than leave them.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Mower deck size: The catcher fits reel mowers with cutting widths of 14 to 16 inches—not larger or smaller. The Earthwise mower is 16 inches, so it’s a direct match.
• Model/brand fit: Confirmed for Earthwise 16-inch models (e.g., 9115-700) and American Lawn Mower models in the 14–16 inch range (e.g., 1204-14, 1204-16). Not compatible with gas, electric, or rotary mowers.
• Mounting: The catcher hooks onto the mower’s rear frame. Check that your mower has a rear crossbar or bracket—most reel mowers do, but older or non-standard models may not.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM bundle from American Lawn Mower (also makes Earthwise reel mowers). No aftermarket fitment guesswork.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: The catcher is a lightweight plastic frame with a fabric bag. It’s functional for dry, short grass but can clog or tear with wet, tall clippings.
• Installation: Tool-free—slides onto the mower’s rear hooks in under a minute. No drilling or adjustments needed.
• Common gotchas: The bag fills fast on lush lawns (about 1–2 passes for a 50 sq ft area). Empty it frequently to avoid drag. Also, the catcher doesn’t work well on uneven terrain—it can bounce off or miss clippings.
• Blade note: The Earthwise mower’s 7-blade reel is fixed and non-removable. The catcher doesn’t affect blade performance but adds weight (about 2 lbs) to the mower.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 16-inch Earthwise or 14–16 inch American Lawn Mower reel mower and want a dedicated, easy-to-attach catcher for tidy lawns. Skip it if you mow wet grass, have a larger deck, or prefer mulching—the bag is small and prone to clogging. For $146, it’s a decent value if your mower fits and you’re okay with frequent emptying.
