Consumer Reports On Brill Lawn Mowers

All of the Brill made Razorcut lawn mowers feature no contact blades which very rarely require some sharpening, only from each five to ten years.

Since the handles on all Brill Razorcut models fold up twice for simpler storage, they take up less space than traditional competing lawn mowers do. Also, they are so light that they can literally be hung up on a wall.

The only downsides mentioned for the fine Brill Razorcut lawn mowers revolve around the fact that they cut grass to an extremely short height, comparable to that seen on golf courses. Their maximum height allowed on grass is a mere 1.8 inches. They do prove to be a bit awkward for carrying. Also, Consumer Reports has heard of various quality control issues. Other featured models from Brill include the 13 inch Brill Razorcut 33, which retails for about $110, as well as the 15.2 inch Brill Razorcut 38, which goes for about $240.
