| Bought 2 yrs ago, zero probs. Only have 2300 SF lawn but I can do the yard 2-3 times before charging which would equal an above average lawn. Does a brilliant job and I will never use a gas mower (or corded again). |

| Black Decker 19-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower #CMM1200br /Very pleased with product. Easy unpacking and setup. Outstanding height adjustment for cutting and use, and rear bag works well. Cuts reasonably well although not quite as even a cut as with a gas power mower. However, the advantages of the cordless electric easily outweigh the liabilities of gas, oil, and emissions!! |

| Say goodbye to pulling that damn cord and destroying the environment with noise and pollution. $400 was a lot of money for me, but this product has made me really happy - totally worth it in the time and frustration it saves. Well constructed and very reliable. Extremely easy to use. |

| I ordered this lawnmower after my husband saw a recommendation for it in Men's Health. We love that it's ENERGY STAR-rated and is good for the environment. It cuts great, and we don't have to fool around with gas or anything like that. Our lawn looks terrific, and my husband has said the mower is easy to use and relatively lightweight. And, he's able to get through our lawn (about 0.20 acres) on one charge.br /br /Amazon also has the best price. I searched many other stores, and didn't see any place with a price as good as what I found online.br /br /Highly recommend this mower! |

| works like a dream for my med. sized yard - only wish there was some way the factory would install a "low battery" light so I know where to stop in my lawn so that while it is recharging (over night) the people on my street won't look at me strange... do buy this item!!!! |

When my CMM1200 arrived from Amazon, the height adjustment was inoperable. I looked in the bottom of the box and found one of those cheap "locking washers". There's a bar that goes from the front wheel to the rear wheel that connects to the height adjuster. The bar had come loose from the shaft it attaches to. To re-attach the bar, one has to kneal on the front of the mower while lifting up on the rear of the mower until the hole in the bar lines up with the shaft. For the time being I re-installed the "locking washer", but my guess is that it will continue to fall off in use. Why Black and Decker didn't put a hole in the shaft with a pin is beyond me. If they can't get the little stuff right it concerns me as to the reliability of the rest of the mower. |

| I was able to pick this mower up brand new off of ebay at a considerable discount last winter. I have been using it since the first cut of spring and....i really like it. No gas, no mess, no smell, no spark plugs. It has more than enough power for my yard(50X100)and i love the easy wheel adjustment which adjusts the whole deck at once. Quiet? Yes a bit quieter then the gas mowers, which is nice. I have had better cuts with gas mowers but i will not be taking out my gas mower again unless this thing breaks down. If the longevity is high with this mower i will consider it a wise purchase. |

| Lite weight, so it's easy to push. Don't try to cut grass when it's wet or to high. Follow the directions and you will be pleased. Also the price is rite on Amazon.com |

| I just came in from another 2/3 mowed lawn. It ran out of battery power once again.br /br /The downsides:br /-I can only mow the entire lawn ( .25 acres) if the grass is short and I RUN to finish it before the power runs out. On a good day, I can mow for 45 minutes, so if you spend more time on your yard than that, this is not for you. I want to mow one day a week, not one day to start and another day to finish. I called the service center about this and they were no help at all.br /-It's heavy. I'm a woman of "pre-retirement age" but I have always mowed my own lawn without a problem. Moving this mower, and pushing it up hill is a challenge, and I know it won't get any easier for me in coming years.br /-I use the mulcher. I don't use the bag because our town requires us to deliver yard waste to a central collection point, which only means I would burn gas to get it there and I don't have the time to do that anyway. It does not mulch well - it leaves big clumps of cut grass all over the lawn. When I look out a day or two later, the yard is covered with brown, decaying lumps of cut grass. It also means I drag clumps into the house on the bottom of my shoes. To me, a mulching mower means it cuts the grass so fine it doesn't clump, but that is not what I see on my lawn.br /-Noise. I expected it to be much quieter than a gas mower, but it is only marginally so. br /br /The upside:br /- I'm delighted to not be burning gas, using oil, and to be done with the maintenance my gas mowers required (oil changes, air filter changes, carburetor treatments and more). I'm glad this mower starts every time and I don't have to fight to get it going. But that is small comfort when I have to double my efforts to get my small lawn mowed in one session.br /- I have a second home in another state and was so hoping this would work out so I could use an electric mower there too, but after this experience, I would not consider it all. |

| I have had this lawn mower for over year and love it. It is very easy to operate and adjust with a decent battery life. I have a grass area of more than 10,000 square feet and can easily mow it with one charge when the grass is not too long. No more pulling on a cord with frustration. This mower turns on every time with a pull on the lever. |
