Black and Decker Mm575 18" Mulching Lawn Hog Electric Lawn Mower

Pros: Inexpensive. Easy to put together. Works well. Earth friendly.
Cons: Can you deal with the power cord?

My gasoline pull cord mower was about to give me a hernia or a temper tantrum. Every time I wanted to mow, I would pull and pull and pull and then cuss and cuss and cuss. Then, I would have to call my dad or ask one of the neighbor guys to jerk it on. ...

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, light, easy to use
Cons: Must stay within 100' of an electric outlet

When my four-year-old gas mower bit the dust, I went to Home Depot in search of another gas mower in the $150-$250 range. I found quite a few deluxe mowers in the neighborhood of $400-$600 and some really cheap looking models that were closer to my price...

Pros: Works well, light weight, low maintenance, quiet
Cons: some will consider the cord a Con, it's cute (i.e. non-masculine)

When I told my father-in-law that I was going to replace my broken Crafstman 6.5hp rear-drive mower with an electric mower, he was so incredulous that he offered to pay for a another gas powered mower instead. I politely declined as I was fed up with a ...

Pros: It starts. 1 lever height adjustment. Price.
Cons: Fixed push bar, cord.

I'm getting old. Old enough that it's starting to hurt my back when I have to throw my gas mower down the driveway out of frustration when it won't start. I have a $99 gas mower that, to it's credit, has given me 5 years of somewhat faithful service. ...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheaply Made

My first electric lawn mower was bought at a yard (what else?) sale for $5. It ran great for years. Finally, it just wore out and needed to be replaced. I chose the Black & Decker 18" Electric Lawn Hog Mulching Mower because it was cheaper than the ...

Pros: works well, lightweight, easy to use, no gasoline to deal with, no maintenance
Cons: cable flips

Assembly

The Lawn Hog MM575 comes mostly pre-assembled. The handles come in two pieces which have to be attached to each other and then snapped into the back of the mower. The assembly is entirely tool-free, which is nice. Altogether...

Pros: Great price, ease of use, lightweight, quiet,and requires no gas!
Cons: Doesn't cut as wide as a gas or riding mower. Watch out for the cord!

I recently moved into a rental house with my new wife earlier this year and having moved from an apartment, I didn't have any lawn care appliances. With grass starting to grow this spring, I came to Epinions looking for some great reviews on a lawn ...

Pros: Gas-free! No smelly fumes. No gas to buy. Durable. Cuts REALLY great. Easy to steer.
Cons: OK, it's corded.

We just bought our first house, and with that came our first lawn responsibility. Not wanting the garage to reek of gasoline (the way it did at friends and family's homes growing up) we decided to look at electric mowers. Um, except one problem - we ...

Pros: Great cutting, mulching, and no maintenance.
Cons: Electric cord that must be dealt with.

I have owned gas, electric, and reel mowers in the past. The reel mower was doing an acceptable job through spring season, but the ideal rainfall and summer sun made my grass grow too fast for the reel mower to handle. After contemplating and ...

Pros: Lightweight, inexpensive, clean and quiet!
Cons: No bag...no big deal

I wasn't sure about buying an electric mower. I wanted an electric because I could not use a gas mow ...

Pros: No gas and oil to mix, powerful, easy to handle.
Cons: It's electric. Ya' gotta' plug it in. What did you expect.

I just bought a new house with almost half an acre of grass. That's a LOT more than the old house. The kids love all the room but I had a problem. The reel mower I used at the old place just wasn't making it. That's just too much grass for a reel type...

Pros: powerful enough, light enough, features are enough, and gosh darn it... cute (wife quote)
Cons: the cord holder could have been a little wider

The B&D MM575 mulching-mower has enough power and features for me and my lawn. I have a small to medium sized lawn. Roughly takes me an hour to cut (to give you an idea of size). It's also one of the worst lawns I have ever seen. Uneven, more weeds ...

Pros: Lightweight, easy assembly, quieter than a gas mower, mulches very well
Cons: dealing with a cord

Wow! Why did I wait so long? This is the question I asked myself over and over as I made my first cut of the season with this electric mower. Here's the skinny: It works as well as a gas mower, doesn't pollute the environment, is quiet, and doesn't...

Pros: no gas, very light, cute
Cons: cord management, small yard only

When I bought my first house, I made a conscious decision: I did not want any gasoline smelly stuff in my garage. So, for a lawn mower, i checked on epinions and chose this MM575 mower. Pretty sure I paid about $242 for it, this would be late ...

Pros: Lightweight and quiet. No gas smell or fire hazard.
Cons: cord (till you get used to it), wheelbase (see review)

I never owned a gas mower but after watching my neighbors struggle with theirs I opted for an electric to replace the pushmower I've been using. This has to rank as one of the best purchases I've ever made. Light and quiet it makes mowing almost fun. ...
