My old mower was worn out. Even the tires were bald! So I started looking for a new one and thought, "Why not an electric?" I searched them out on the 'net and saw that this Black and Decker was highly rated and well-reviewed plus Amazon's price was well below anyone else's, so I ordered it and don't regret it one bit. It's quiet, light (I can push it with one hand) and there's no fighting it to get it started, either. It cuts through my heavy bermuda grass with ease and the catcher on the back is more than big enough. I also like the idea that I'm doing something good for the environment and not throwing out a lot of exhaust, dust and noise!

Just got it for our new home which has about a quarter acre lawn. It took about a half hour to get all unpacked and put together, and when I started mowing my wife decided it looked fun so she mowed the lawn. I've only used it once, but it cuts and rolls great and is easy to adjust cutting height. I looked around about an hour online and this seemed to get the best reviews. Now it's snowing so I won't have to mow for a few months. Will update if there are any issues...

This is a great product. The sharpening instructions where very easy to understand, and after I figured out that the hand crank could be replaced with a 1/2 inch chuck electric drill, I was able to sharpen my used, garage sale mower in about 5 minutes.

My family and I moved into a new home and I wanted to get away from a gas lawn mower. I did some research and this mower's reviews were all good. So I ordered one. I have not been disappointed at all. I use it to mow about an acre of land (we have a shed with electricity in the middle of of the back). When we first moved in I ignored the already long grass in the front for about 2 weeks and it worked its way up to between 6"-8" inches. I started up the mower and zoomed right over it. The next week I did half of the back yard and discovered that it had a lot of hidden rocks in it. It dinged up the blade some but I hadn't noticed at that point. The following week I went for the last half of the back yard which worked its way up to 8"-10" inches. ... Read More:

Handle bolts together, so it flexes more than it should. Presumably the handle is manufactured of multiple pieces so it can be shipped from China in a small box.
It cuts well (short grass only). For long grass and/or weeds I gas-up my power mowers.
I wanted to collect some of my clippings from the reel mower to use as mulch. I had allowed the grass to sit on the lawn. I had been cutting it twice to eliminate missed spots and break down some bigger clippings. This bag doesn't catch everything. You also need to pull back the load and reposition the clippings from the predominate left side every so often. I didn't expect much from this attachment, but it serves my purpose to gather a fair amount of clippings.

I wanted a cordless electric, but it seems that the batteries just aren't reliable enough. I used a gas Toro mulcher for many years and enjoyed its maneuverability, but I wanted to get away from the oil and gas and starting hassles. So, the MM675 was a compromise, and, after using it for two months, I am very happy with it.I mulch every six days at the 2 inch height and used it to mulch the leaves (while they were dry and crispy and not all at once) from a good-size maple tree. It did fine. The flip handle is very useful and helps to keep the cord out of danger. Finally, it is light and easy to push, even one-handed.
As for lifting it out of the box; try putting it on its side, cutting the tape, folding back the flaps, gently lowering it while supporting the ... Read More:
