Summary: 5 Stars
I generally knew what I was looking for when I stumbled upon this deal on Amazon. I knew I didn't want the hassle of a gas-powered lawn mower. I couldn't imagine toting gas around to power the thing, spilling it all over myself and my garage, then trying feebly to start the darned thing with a rope starter. My parents had that kind of mower when I was a kid, and it was always dirty, smelly, and impossible for me to start. So I decided on an electric mower. As long as you don't mow over the cord, it's a hassle-free way to get the job done.I went to the local home stores shopping for an electric mower, but found that not only did they not have very many models on display, they had even fewer in stock, and the prices were astronomical. This mower was a great deal on Amazon for half the price. It's not exactly feature rich, but what kind of features do you need in an electric lawnmower? Easy electric start and height adjustment were all I was looking for, and I found both on this model at a very decent price.
Setup was a little complicated, there were clips to install and safety gizmos to put on. Once I figured out the drawings, I was able to get it together without calling Black and Decker's toll-free helpline. It has always mowed my lawn perfectly, even in fairly high grass. I get quite a workout pushing it up hills, but it's far lighter than gas-powered lawn mowers so I can't complain! Great deal...
Customer Review: I like it.
Summary: 5 Stars
The mower was easy to put together, easy to use. I especially like the ability to turn it on and off with great ease. I bought it for my Mother-(I'm her daughter) as I care for her large yard and did not want to mess with gas and oil. So far it does the job well.Customer Review: Ingeniously simple!

After a little over 10 years, my MTD electric mower motor went bad. This MM275 mower is so much lighter because it doesn't have a metal frame. I was surprised to see how simple it was to attached the lower and upper bar then simply snap the bar to the mower. No tools needed! The lever on one of the wheels easily adjusts ALL the wheels off the ground (6 positions - 1", 1.5",...,3.5"). I was also shocked on how quiet it was when I turned it on compared to my previous electric mower. No need to attach the discharge chute that can have a bag attached to it the mulching does a great job and it makes it easier to hug the sides of a fence without the chute. Main reason I like electric mowers is that there is no gas, oil, constantly having to pull start it, having to sometimes smell fumes or having a fire hazard if you keep it in a garage. Oh...and most of all...it costs much less then a gas mower. The instruction manual is well written with pictures having sections in english, french, and spanish. The blade can also be easily replaced. It's well worth the little inconvience of using a cord.Customer Review: It'll cut your grass just fine
Summary: 3 Stars
Before I bought my mm275 mower I was unsure whether I would want to put up with yet another electric mower. In particular, would it be able to hack through the thick grass better than our old tired mower? The answer is, yes, it does, even though it has the lower power 9 amp motor. It is quiet, it starts with no effort (well, mostly, more on this later) and it doesn't stink. And it cuts the grass at a pretty capable rate. I can walk at almost normal speed when the grass is 2-3 inches above the blade.To use an electric mower you have to have electrical outlets that are not much more than 100 feet from every part of your lawn. You have to mow in dry grass only. And you have to not mind doing the cord dance, which doesn't bother me.
This mower has one problem, which is the switch. After half a summer of operation, the on-off switch on our mower is almost worn out. Pretty soon it isn't going to turn on anymore. This may be due to the "revving-up games" that my kids played before we became wise to the situation. Black and Decker have a replacement switch back-orderered for me, and I have reason to believe that with more judicious use of the switch (and a 12 gauge extension cord rather than 14 gauge) this next switch will probably last a lot longer. If it doesn't, you'll see a much less positive review here next year, and I'll be turning my mower off by unplugging the cord.
