 I'm Impressed August 16, 2010

I've had cheap gas mowers that wouldn't start and very expensive gas mowers that wouldn't start. No matter how high the quality of the engine there was always something that needed tending to. A couple months ago I went out and bought yet another gas mower. Got it home, put it together, added oil, gassed it up and of course it wouldn't start. So I took it back and the garden center and the people there couldn't get it to start either. Fortunately they refunded my money and took the thing back. That evening I started researching electric mowers on the internet.
A rechargeable battery mower was quickly ruled out because I didn't want to replace a $150 manufacturer specific battery every two or three years. Most of the reviewers of corded mowers were in agreement that cord management was no big deal. My search took me to this compact, lightweight little B&D MM1800. I liked the way it folded up for storage in the pictures.
When it arrived, I rolled it out of the box and popped the handle on it. That's all you have to do. The one touch height setting really works! No more wrestling with each wheel on a heavy gas mower. The lawn was a little longer than usual since I'd been without a mower for month. It didn't matter, the little B&D munched right through it as good as any gasser I've ever owned. I even used it to clear out an overgrown utility easement on the side of my home. It never bogged down or hesitated one bit. The other users are correct when they say that cord management is no problem. I've used it with the bag and without. Both ways work great. Anyway, I've used it several times now since grass grows quickly in the South Florida rainy season and I can't begin to describe how cool it is to just flip this puppy upside down on the lawn to clean it up without worrying about gas and oil spilling all over the place.In fact there are lot's of reasons to celebrate not having to mess with gas mowers anymore.

I'm very happy with my little orange monster and enjoy lawn mowing a lot more now that it's pretty much hassle free.

I am very happy with this mower, it is light weight and easy to handle, takes up little storage space and has one touch height adjustment. Assembly was very easy, price was right and delivery was quick.
Nice quiet lawn mower! July 21, 2010

Shipping is FAST! with free shipping, Fedex delivered it on Saturday evening!
It's easy to set up, just follow up the instruction, I spent about 10 minutes to put everything together. Someone said the cord is an issue, I don't have any, just follow the instruction! Some tips: make sure the cord is long enough, I use 50' (sometimes add another 25'); move it slowly (since it's not as powerful as the gas mower); empty the bag often (you can feel by the sound); for some area not even, I just do another round, the finish is pretty good looking...
Preforms well on a small lawn July 10, 2010

Bought this at home depot for $200, and used it about 8 times over 8 weeks. Reasonably easy to maneuver, cuts the grass decently, and cord management is not an issue as long as you remember the golden rule, which is to start from the area closest to the electrical outlet.
 Big Spark. June 28, 2010
ra (chicago)
The product was easy to put together. But when I started it a big light came on thru the deck. I finally deduced that it was a gigantic spark. I was then afraid to use it. I wrote to the online help desk twice and got a couple of canned answers, neither of which was satisfactory. However they sent me to their service location {deWalts in Tinley park) to which I took the mower and the man there said this spark was normal since it sent a big jolt of electricity with reverse polarity to provide a stopping mechanism. I am still a bit leery about using it. I had a B&D model with a reversible handle and I liked it a lot but it had a black cover over the motor so maybe the spark was invisible. I wish they would be a little more candid about this because I am suspicious of the help desk and the service location. It would be a pain to return it and get another.
