stot0020 says "The Black & Decker electric mower is so much easier!" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

When I bought my first house, I needed a lawn mower but didn't want to deal with gas and oil for a standard mower. I saw other electric mowers, but I didn't want one that had to be plugged in; it seemed too dangerous to have a cord attached.

I found the Black & Decker cordless electric mower at Home Depot. it has been such a great purchase! it's so easy- I just plug it in to charge up the battery, and there's an indicator on the mower, so while I'm using it I can see how much of the battery life is left.

The handle folds down, so it doesn't take up much storage space in the garage. And in the winter, I can remove the battery and move it in the house so it doesn't freeze.

I can mow my medium sized yard a couple times before I need to recharge the battery, and I usually just plug it in and leave it overnight. It shuts down when it's done charging, so I don't have to worry about it if I forget to unplug it.

It's also much easier to start up than a standard mower- just pull the lever...

GarfieldCollector says "very good mower for the price" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

GarfieldCollector — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:35:52 GMT

I bought this mower several years ago for my new home, we have a very small yard. Luckily having a townhome gives you very little yard to take care of, while still providing some space for pets. This mower works well, is quiet, easy to push but could be easier in overall maneuvering while working in small confined areas. But I agree that not many mowers are geared toward such small yards, unless you go the "manual push style" which is too much for people with mobility & health problems.

Overall, a very good item.

The Black and Decker Mulching Mower jhas just enough power to get the average lown job done. It requires no maintance, no fuel storage, no tuneups, no planning to get it running and mowing. The perfect machine for the small lawn owner. The most elegant solution for those who do not want more mower than they need.

sleepingKelly says "So quiet and easy to use while being good for the environment" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

sleepingKelly — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:56:54 GMT

I studied up on lots of electric mowers and settled with the Black and Decker cordless. It's relatively light weight and easy to use. The handle is at a great angle which makes pushing it up hill a breeze. It's really quiet so there's minimal noise polution to boot!

My major complaint is the length of its charge. My yard isn't big (but isn't particularly small), and if I leave the mower charging over night, it will stay charged for the whole yard. If I plug it in the morning and mow in the afternoon, it dies before I can finish. Also, the key gets VERY hot so you risk burning yourself when you take it out.

reed7333 says "Black & Decker electrlc is great for small jobs" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

I have a Black & Decker Electric lawn mower and I live in a garden home. It is all I need for my small yard. It does bog down in deep grass so I try to cut at least every two weeks. My yard looks better than it did when I paid someone to cut it with commercial mowers. I can at least adjust the height and mulch the grass which makes the yard look more lush. It is inexpensive and works good for the money

chiva33 says "Simple and easy to maintain" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

chiva33 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:59:36 GMT

I have had this mower for over a year now and I was been very satisfied. I have a small to mid-size lawn to mow and have had no problems whatsoever. It is corded, which does make it more of a challenge to mow than a standard gas mower. I do worry about running over the cord and it does get in the way sometime However, with a little planning, it is not that much harder. It is worth it for no gas to worry about and it is as simple as find a long extend cord (I use a 100 foot cord, but 75 would be better) and go on my way. My lawn has fared well and the mulching is good for the lawn. Compared to a gas mower, it is much quieter and easy to start. Cutting wise, it is fine and cuts pretty well. I am a big fan of using the electric power as opposed to using gas. I have not noticed any appreciable difference in energy consumption (read: electric bill) when using the mower. I would definately recommend this mower!

jaki44 says "easy for anyone to use, lightweight" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

jaki44 — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:02:46 GMT

i just love my craftsman electric lawnmower.

it is lightweight and there is practically no maintainance with this mower.

it cuts well and is ready at any time.

there are no fumes or odors in my garage. there are no oily stains on my garage floor.

the pattern that is given in the manual shows precisely how to cut your grass to avoid running over the extension cord and is excellent if you follow it.

the engine is cut immediately once you let go of the handle. excellent safety feature.

joeyndaisy says "fantastic Black & Decker 18" Electric Mower" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

joeyndaisy — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:36:50 GMT

Black & Decker 18" electric mulching mower - best thing I ever bought. It is a power horse. Does everything I ask it to do & then some. I bought this lawn mower in June 2008 because I didn't want to have to try to start a gas mower as I am an "older" woman. I bought a 100' outdoor extension cord to use with it. I have had it a month & have mowed all over my yard, including the 1/2 acre I have for my horse. Even mowed in some high grass. The mulching part is wonderful. I would give this machine 5 stars. I do plan on getting a riding mower for the larger areas just because it is too hot in my part of the country & it's too exhausting. I will just use it by the small area in front of my house & the back yard. By the way, I loaned it to my sister-in-law to use & she loves it too....

Momsey says "Not enough local knowledge of electric mower maintainence here " about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

Momsey — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:27:41 GMT

I thought the Black and Decker Cordless Elerdlctrical lawn mower would be the solution to all my mowing problems. No polution, no buying high priced gasoline, no jerking on a cord to start, which I have no strength in my hands from Arthritis, no dragging cord, and no oil to check. It was alittle bit more expensive than the gas mowers, but it would be worth it for the convenience and it's green characteristics. It worked fine for about four mowings. Then, it either wouldn't charge or it wouldn't stay charged. I don't know which. I am not supposed to know those things, because I am electronically challenged. But, the problem was, neither did the Sears maintainence service center here in Lawton. They asked, "did I put oil in it, was it out of gas"? I had already told them, it was electric. The only thing they knew to do was to send it off to Dallas or Fort Worth to be worked on. Now that didn't get me a dependable lawn mower that I needed to mow with every week. ......

littlemamawest says "Save on gas" about Black & Decker 18" Electric Mulching Mower

littlemamawest — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:14:12 GMT

This is a ok mower save money on gas with gas being so high, but it does use electric It is hard to use on a big yard and you have to have electric for it. I would use it again and tell someone with a small yard it would be good for them. But with this go green movement it may be better to use a push mower....
