Summary: reasonably satisfied
Comment: I'm 41 and a new homeowner and have lived in apartments till now. This is the first lawn mower I have ever bought, so I don't have any basis for comparison. I can tell you this lawn mower makes much less noise than those of my neighbors, all of whom use gas mowers. It also costs less to operate. Assuming 7 cents per kWhr, which is about what my electric company charges, and assuming 120 volts AC, then it costs about six cents to operate my mower for one hour. Comparably-priced gasoline models will burn through a half gallon of fuel in that time. And then there are spark plugs and oil to replace in those as well. The electric mower also emits no odors. It came partially assembled, requiring that I only put together and install the handle. The directions were thorough and easy enough to follow. On the downside, the lawnmower doesn't come with a power cord! Not such a big deal unless you're expecting one. No where in the ad does it come out and say "Power cord not included." Very misleading. Luckily I live a few blocks from a hardware store and was able to buy one in a hurry. And, yes, I have managed to run over mine. But sixty seconds and a few inches of electrical tape later I'm up and running. I have a standard, quarter-acre suburban lot, so there's nowhere I can't reach with my ten-dollar, 100-foot, bright orange cord, but I do have to constantly remember to whip it up out of the way lest I run it over again. More often, I simply have my wife follow along behind and keep it out of the way. Overall, we like the fact that it's quiet, easy to start and stop, and leaves a very small carbon footprint. I have used it three times so far in the five weeks I have lived in this house and I'm satisfied with its performance. I'd recommend it so long as you don't have a huge lawn and have the patience to keep up with the cord.

Summary: Lightweight & easy 2 use
Comment: This mower is lightweight and easy to use. If you are a young lady that cuts her own grass (like me), it works. Plus I can actually carry it up and down the stairs, since I store it in the basement. My other mower was too heavy to get up the steps and it stopped working after a year.
The only down side is that it is a bit flimsy. I wouldn't get too rough with it guys!

Summary: Black & Decker 18-inch Electric Mower #LM175
Comment: I purchased this product because of past experience with a Black & Decker Electric Mower I purchased in 1988. That mower lasted until about 2 months ago. Believe it or not no repairs were needed and only had to replace the wheels twice in 20 years of use! I wonder if this one will last as long and be as serviceable as my old one?

Summary: Good Choice
Comment: This is a great little mower. Especially like the auto shut-off feature and the adjustable height wheels. Easy to maneuver. The cord is a good length, and handling it while mowing is not a problem.

Summary: mowing - yes, you can do it yourself
Comment: B & D 18" electric mower is great. I grew up with brothers, so I was assigned "girl" work - ironing, washing dishes, so I had never mowed a lawn. I hired others to mow the lawn b/c I didn't have the equipmt or experience and was a little worried it might be too hard. Guess what - at almost 50 yrs old, I've learned that mowing isn't so hard, this mower is light and easy to use (I don't have to mess w/gas, oil, sparkplugs - whatever). I just pull up the handle and off I go. Great exercise, I save $100 I'd be paying someone else, it's done when I think it needs to be done and I get a work out, too.

If you're in the market for a solid, economical electric mower, the Black & Decker 18-inch electric mower is worth a look. Powered by a high-efficiency, 6.5 amp, Black & Decker motor, this mower offers quiet, hassle-free operation, without the mess and expense of gas-and-oil models. No need for tune-ups and pull starts, either. This mower weighs just 36 pounds, making it easy to push and maneuver in the lawn. It features an 18-inch cutting blade; side discharge (optional Black & Decker side bag assembly #BA-075 sold separately); a rust-proof, polymer deck; and one-touch height adjustment (from 1 to 3-1/2 inches). Tool-free assembly means you'll be up and mowing quickly, while a lifetime deck warranty and two-year warranty on the mower itself provide added peace of mind. --Carl Thress
