Amazon.com Product Description
The Black & Decker Electric Lawn Hog Mulching Mower lets you spend your time maintaining your lawn and not your mower. There's no worrying about gas, oil, or tune-ups--just plug it in when you're ready to manicure your lawn. The 18-inch blade covers lots of ground and turns clippings into mulch to help fertilize your grass. On-board adjustments let you pick the perfect deck height for your lawn and the best handle length for your comfort.
This Lawn Hog's compact size makes it easy to maneuver and easy to store. |
Quiet, Low-Maintenance Electric Motor
The Lawn Hog eliminates cleaning spark plugs, stopping for refills, or spending more money on gas. The 12 Amp motor delivers more than enough power to chop through tough grass for an even cut. You'll also eliminate the emissions and noise associated with gas motors, protecting your environment, hearing, and status as a considerate neighbor.Adjustable for Cut and Comfort
Set the deck level between 1 and 3 1/2 inches for the grass height that's best for your lawn. One lever adjusts all four wheels for a close cut or plush pile. The handle can be adjusted to fit your height, providing you with a better mowing posture that keeps you comfortable while fighting fatigue. Mulching Action Eliminates Bagging
You won't just mow your lawn, you'll be turning your grass clippings into nutrient-rich mulch. Open the side chute to spread the clippings over your lawn, or pick up the optional bag to gather and add them to your compost pile. Perfect for your small or medium sized lawn, the Lawn Hog will mow within a 100-foot radius of the nearest outlet. With its compact size, it is easy to control for a precise cut, and it stores out of the way when not in use. The Lawn Hog 18-Inch Electric Mower is covered by a full two-year warranty.

 Mower = Awesome! Fan = Trash!! August 11, 2009

I'm a big fan of the electric mower. I love using mine for what it provides in ease of use and the environment.
I do not recommend buying this lawn mower however.
1. There is a plastic fan attached to the blade that breaks.
2. I wish I had bought a cordless one.
The main reason I would not buy this lawn mower is there is a fan underneath the chasis connected to the blade.
This fan is to cool the system and balance the blade. The problem is, it is plastic. Brittle plastic.
I've had my MM575 for about 6 months. Within a week, a dog squeeky toy got under the mower and broke some fins off the plastic blade. It started a mild wobble witch worried me, but was not drastic enough to warrent ordering a new fan piece. This last weekend, a twig broke the fan in half. Not a log, not a rock, just a simple twig. Now the balance is out of control and I will not use it for fear of the blade flying off. So I have to either order a new plastic fan, or buy a different lawn mower. I did look and the cordless ones from Black & Decker do not have a plastic fan on the bottom, so I am thinking about getting one of those, but do I really want to buy a more expensive product from a company that puts brittle plastic on the underside of a lawn mower.....?
The part number for the fan on the MM575 is 241125-00 Black and Decker 241125-00 Fan MM Series Electric Mowers
The cord can be quite the pain. Moving, pulling, tugging, getting it out of the way.
Good for small yard like mine June 10, 2009

I got this second hand from a friend who upgraded to the cordless model. It was already 2 years old when I got, and I've had it now for 4 years.
In all the time I've had it all I've had to do is replace the blade as it wouldn't sharpen anymore. Yes the cord does take sometime to get used to but after the first couple of uses you quickly work out a system that lets you get around your lawn without any tangles.
It easily cuts my lawn no matter how long I leave it. Last night I cut my back garden for the first time this year, after leaving it working on other back garden projects. In places it was about 7-8inches thick and it never bogged down, cut everything on the first pass. The motor keeps on trucking, it is quiet enough that I can have a conversation with my kids. It leaves my lawn looking just as neat and manicured as my neighbours who all use petrol mowers.
 OK, but not great May 17, 2009

The cord is super annoying. I thought since I had such a small yard it wouldn't be bad...but it gets in the way often and can double the time it take to mow. It mows ok, but if the grass is even a little damp it clumps a lot and leaves deposits all over the yard. I'll be getting a old fashioned gas mower next time.
Excellent May 15, 2009

I bought this mower 2 seasons ago, and have been very happy with it. It was easy to assemble and starts instantly every time. It doesn't have quite as much power as my old gas machine, so the mowing is uneven when I run over thick, tall areas (which is often, I don't mow as much as recommended). I bought it because its MUCH better for the environment than a gas mower, and I can deal with the less power issue. We have about 1/2 acre of grass and thats about as much as I'd recommend this for. My kids hate dealing with the cord, but I find it minor issue. This mower is much quieter than a gas mower (another reason I bought it) but not quiet enough to talk over...One reviewer said his wife indoors couldn't hear it, but that would never happen with ours.
