Go for it...

If you think you might be interested in an electric mower go for it. This mower is lighter, easier to push and maneuver, and just easier to use than a gas mower. I tend to wait too long to cut my grass, and even when it gets tall this mower can take it down, although it might take two passes to do it. I like this mower because all you have to do is plug it in, and the height adjustment does all four wheels at the same time and is super easy. I don't think "cord management" is a very big deal either, just start where you plug in at, and mow away from that spot. Using this mower doesn't take any more or less time than any other mower, It's just faster to set up and go. I'd recommend this mower to anyone with a yard that can be easily reached by an extension cord.

Just not for me !!

This one is definitely not for me. I bought this here @ Amazon, but gave it back.

Pros:
1. Lightweight, like toy
2. Saves on GAS
3. Emission free
4. No Pull start

Cons:
1. Need 12 amp wire, thick and heavy to work with.
2. Uphill could be a tough battle as this is not a self propelling one.
3. The thick wire kills/breaks garden plants on the way while mowing.

Great for our 1/4 acre

We bought this mower a few months ago and have used it weekly since then. At first I was concerned about the fabric leaf bag - our old electric mower had a hard plastic bag and I really liked that. We actually don't mind the flexible bag and it makes it easier to manipulate than our last one. We rarely use the bag though.

The mower works very smoothly and we love how easy it is to adjust the height. It has made it very easy to grasscycle since we had to work the height down slowly in order to avoid bagging and achieve a healthy lawn. It is easy for either of us to push and clean. We both agree we would highly recommend it.

This lawn mower is more like a lawn vaccum. It makes short work of keeping the lawn groomed, while being light and easy to manuever. It is always ready, no fuss no bother, because all you do is plug it in, and it is powerful enough to get the job done with little effort. It is also quieter and there are no fumes!! All you smell is sweetly mowed grass!! I would highly endorse this product.

Awesome and Easy to Use

I love this mower. It came almost all put together. All my husband had to do was attach the handle. It's such a lite mower and it's also very quiet. It cuts great and does the job. I definitely recommend this product.

I'll never go back to a gas mower

What a pleasure to use. Just open the box tighten two knobs, plug in and mow. No gas, no oil, no filters, what a way to go.
My grass had grown a little tall after the demise of my last mower (not a B & D) but this light little beauty plowed right through it with out a problem at all.
I have not used the bagger yet but it's assembley was also as easy as could be.

Good for a small lawn

This mower is very easy to assemble from the box. The mower deck height adjustment is great. Power for cutting thick grass is adequate, but if using the mulching feature don't let the grass get too high. For my small lawn of about fifteen hundred square feet this mower is perfect.

why did I pay a shipping charge?????

2008-07-19
I read on the lawnmower page that there was no shipping charge but I was charged almost $50. Why?

It works.

I hate reading manuals, a neighbor loves to and was trying to procrastinate....unfortunately, it barely took tightening a few screws/bolts(?) and I was mowing. The handle height is adjustable; I tried the height set "as is" out of the box (low to fit in the box), and I liked that it is low because it makes it more manueverable for me. It more comfortable than I've found the heights of others' mowers. Plug it in and lift the lever on the handle and it's on. On the initial pass, I forgot to consider adjusting the mower height and it cut the grass at it's lowest setting before I stopped and realized....a mistake that would (not) have made reading the instructions worth it! ;-) The height adjustment is simple - truly one touch for all 4 wheels.

So, on the initial mow, I was a bit careful, after all it's just an electric mower. The grass clipping catcher works. I'm careful to mow when it's dry. After some encouragement from a friend that electric or not, it's a mower....I've treated it with less care on my less than pristine lawn with woods and meadow encroaching....it works. It's tough and light weight and doesn't feel too big thanks to the handle height. It does have a cord, but I didn't want to deal with batteries. It's just what I was looking and at a good value.
