very easy to use
First, I would like to thank those who posted comments previously. They were very helpful in knowing what to expect when my new B&D lawn mower arrived. I had also previously purchased similar cordless rechargeable lawn and garden tools (a small hedge trimmer and blower) which had reassured me that this electric lawn mower would be a good fit. These items were also manufactured by B&D, so I was familiar with their instructions and packaging - which I have come to interpret as 'the simpler the ...

know where your service center is before buying
I've had this mower a year and I would buy it again. It's so convenient not to have to mess with gas and oil. It starts easily. It cuts everything from grass to light brush -- it does bog down a bit in really thick, wet grass. Mowing when the grass is dry is best. I have an acre yard and it takes me 2-3 charges to mow the whole thing. However by the time the mower has run out of charge I'm ready for a break.
However, I did have a problem on first using the mower. Something went wro...

Mower of Mowers
In the summer of 2006, my Toro mower was not doing so well so I started looking for a replacement. I went online and read reviews of various mowers including cordless mowers. I opted to purchase another Toro. A couple of months ago, someone went into my backyard and walked off with my mower so there I was spending another afternoon online shopping for mowers. After researching for hours, I decided to go ahead, throw caution to the wind, and purchase the Black & Decker Cordless 24-Volt Mulching M...

7 Years Old and Still Mowing
June 2008 Update: Our CMM1000 mower is now 8 years old and will soon need its first new battery. However, we're finding it difficult to open the mower and are still searching the Internet for instructions as well as a replacement battery.
Still 5 stars ... ??? Yes, for now. We'll keep you posted about the replacement battery.

We purchased this mower 7 years ago with no problems and no regrets. Below are some quick observatio...

Great mower, no problems.
First, let me tell you how to get the mower out of the box. (I guess one person is silly and tried to lift it.) The mower has four wheels. I just opened the top of the box, then tipped the box SLOWLY so the mower slid out on its own wheels.
Ok, that said. My lawn has bumps and dips. The 1200 gave my lawn a better mow than my Gas mower. A real joy. I did not have ANY of hte problems that others had. ... except one.
The height adjustment sucks. I could not get it to the ...

CMM1200 is a good step toward clean easy mowing
This replaced a 15 yr old gas mower. It does require a little relearning on mowing to get a good cut, but after the 3rd mow it was looking good. I have a fairly large yard with some inclines, bumps, and slopes.
I loved it for these reasons:
1. No oil changes or having to keep oil around to top it off.
2. No annual tune ups - Change oil, filter, spark plug.
3. No oil disposal fees.
4. No more gas can, and running out of gas just before I'm done and the can is empty.

Long Term Owner - positive review
Like most of you, whenever I go to buy an appliance or tool on the internet I read the customer reviews to try to get a feel for the product's long term performance before I invest in it. Unfortunately, many of the reviews have been submitted by short term owners who are still jazzed over their purchase and haven't used it long enough to offer a comprehensive assessment of the product. That's why I decided to review this mower now after I've used it for a few seasons.
I've had my ...

just read the manual first
Some of the reviews almost caused me not to buy this mower. But I just liked the technological concept and I bought it anyway. Glad I did. It works great. I have some comments about the negative comments in some of the other reviews: 1. read & follow the manual & charge the battery over night before using it. Not a big deal. It worked great the first time. 2. I have a quarter acre and had no problem with the battery dying on me. I did set it at the lowest multch position which is about midway on...

Move over sliced bread.
This animal is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I originally replaced my perfectly good electric (with a cord) mower with the CMM1000 model 10 years ago and stopped dragging my cord around.
It was like Christmas opening the box. Then I was disappointed in the fact that everything was put together. You did not need three hands to assemble obscurely named parts. They don't even care what angle you hold the mower at, as the battery does not spill. My lawn was so small that it is...

A Technician's Analysis and Opinion
A Technician's Analysis and Opinion - CMM1200
Summer is over and our mower purring. Cuts grass fine and mulches leaves great.
Now . . . Except for the price difference, I feel my choice would be the CMM1000-5 (the 1-4 models had recalls). If you can find the parts diagrams on the web you will see that the 1000 and 1200 are similar except for the arrangement of the wiring for control and battery charging.
The 1000 has a remaining power gauge and an adequate size "saf...
