Black & Decker LM175 Electric Mower

Black & Decker LM175 Electric Mower
Another great electric mower that got awesome reviews by its customers is the Black & Decker LM175 Electric Mower. It's received an overal rating over 4 1/2 stars!

This Black & Decker mower comes with a very powerful 6.5 amp motor and has aN 18-inch cutting path, not to mention a 100-foot range. It definitely covers a lot of ground.

Even though the lawn mower looks like a toy, don't let its 35 lb. lightweight design fool you. There is very little you will need to do to assemble the mower once you get it out of the box at home.

The lawn mower also has a single-lever height adjustment. This allows you to adjust the height of all four wheels at the same time from 1 to 3 1/2 inches.

Another benefit? You don't have to deal with gas, oil or tune-ups because it's an electric mower and not a gas-powered one.

So, What Do You Get?
Is There a Warranty?
If something breaks, Black & Decker offers a full 2 year warranty on the mower and a lifetime warranty on the deck

What Are Others Saying?
"Great lawnmower! It's light and easy to manuver. The adjustable height lever makes it possible to cut almost any kind of the lawn. It's also very quiet. I'm quite pleased." Read the rest of the reviews here
My Final Word
The mower is not nearly as powerful as the Black & Decker MM875. But the Black & Decker LM175 electric mower is the perfect mower for female homeowners because it's lightweight and easy to push.

Black & Decker MM875 Lawn Hog

Black & Decker MM875
The Black & Decker MM875 Lawn Hog is Black & Decker's most powerful and fully featured lawn mower.

With this lawn mower, you have the choice to bag or mulch the grass, giving it the versatility to match your mowing style. If you want your grass to be cut at a certain height, you can easily adjust the large deck without a problem.

The special comfort grip handle is not stuck in one place, so you're able to readjust it to fit your posture needs.

And, the Black & Decker lawn mower comes straight out of the box with no assembly required! No one in their right mind wants to sit there trying to figure out how to assemble a mower.

My wife is all about being organized. She thinks it's a great idea that this Lawn Hog can be folded down so that it doesn't take up much space.

The Electric Motor
Since the MM875 Lawn Hog is a 12-amp electric motor and not a gas-powered one, it gives you a lot of power to cut and mulch through thick, deep, even wet grass. The electric motor is environmentally friendly because it's powered by Energy Star and produces very low emissions and noise. It's nothing like the mowers from back in the day that let everyone in the neighborhood know that you're mowing your lawn!

And since the mower has an electric motor, there is no need for tuneups, oil mess, or trips to the Black & Decker service center. Talk about easy maintenance. Read more about the Lawn Hog here.

Yes, It's Adjustable!
You have the choice to adjust the Black & Decker electric lawn mower's deck from 1 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches. You can raise and lower all four wheels at the push of a button. If you're like me and have the need to mow the lawn often, you can set the length higher. But if you're like my next door neighbor who doesn't mow as often as I do, you can adjust it lower.

How About a Very Comfortable Grip that Adapts to YOU?
The grip handle on the Black & Decker grass hog was specially designed to reduce the vibrations caused by the mower. I remember back when I was a kid mowing my dad's lawn, that darn thing was loud and vibrating all over the place. No wonder I got so tired after mowing the lawn!

Anyway, aside from the grip reducing vibrations and fatigue, it also gives you added control and safety. It allows you to adjust it to the right height so you're not uncomfortable or slumped over when you're mowing the lawn. You're less likely to have back aches that way.

Bag it or Fertilize!
Being the neat-freak that I am, I want my grass clippings bag. Like most mowers, the Lawn Hog gives you that option. But what it also does is allow you to keep the bag off if you want to mulch your lawn with the trimmings. Free fertilizer!

Is There a Warranty?
Black & Decker offers a full 2 year warranty on the mower.

What Are Others Saying?
"In my opinion, this mower is comparable to a 6.5HP gas mower - others may disagree but I will tell you, this thing is POWERFUL." Read the rest of the reviews here


My Final Word
The Black & Decker MM875 Lawn Hog is definitely worth the money to help you maintain your lawn! Not only is it fully featured, but it's powerful to boot.
