BLACK+DECKER BEMW482BH Electric Lawn Mower

I did quite a bit of research before buying this mower. The reasons I bought this one areIt’s light weight enough for me to handle, it can be used to mulch or catch, the electric start is great because I can stop and start as many times as needed.I find mowing with the cord is not a problem. The measurements of my yard indicated that a 50 ft cord should work, however if you attach it properly ( you should because mowing goes much smoother if you do) a few more feet are needed. So I use a 50ft cord and a 25ft cord. Get a really good cord. It keeps the machine and the cord from getting too hot . I made a plan for mowing from close to the house then farther out. It’s like using a vacuum cleaner. I chose the corded over the cordless because the cordless ones a too expensive for me, they are heavier and every time I’ve bought a cordless tool the batteries end up giving me problems. This corded model starts every time. The power source is totally reliable.The mower arrived assembled. All I had to do was open the handle and tighten the handle support. The only thing that I could complain about is the collection bag sometimes falls off, but when it does it’s usually time to empty it. The mower has a very easy handle to change the height. It takes about 10 seconds to change it to the needed height. Shipping was timely and packaging was very good. I have used the mower all summer and I am still very pleased.

Love this lightweight Black & Decker mower. It was easy to assemble, but it came with incorrect screws. I had to use screws lying around my house, but it works! My lawn grows TALL and THICK, and this mower runs through it all. Even for smaller yards, I recommend a 100-ft outdoor extension cord. I'm using a 50-ft cord, and it's really inconvenient.

The unit was easy to assemble. You basically just attach the handle with four fasteners, plug the unit in to power, and start mowing.I got mine after months of physical incapacitation that prevented me from properly maintaining my 3/4 acre lot's lawn spaces. My grass was disgustingly out of control. In the back yard, it was well over waist-high.This mower cut through that over-grown grass with no problem. At all.The benefit of an electric motor is that it makes all the torque it can from zero rpm up. That is very useful when the job gets "tough" and I don't think a mower like this would ever be asked to tackle anything "tougher" than the chronically overgrown lawn of my back garden. A typical gasoline-engine push mower would have suffered engine stalling when faced with what this Black and Decker unit was faced with.It's quiet. The handle is very comfortable. It leaves a nice, even cut.Honestly, I can't think of much negative to say about the unit. There is a lot of plastic involved in its construction -the entire mowing deck is plastic rather than metal like the common stamped steel decks found on gasoline engine push mowers. It seems sturdy in spite of this and, of course, plastic can't rust.It is a corded unit, and I had some concern about the cord providing the power being a tether that would just get in the way. A little minor planning of movement in tackling my yard space really made the power cord a non-issue in my use.Time will tell how durable the unit is but it did convince me of one thing: I'm not going back to gasoline engines for push mowers. Electric power is far superior.

It arrived with a piece that had broken off loose in the box. It was supposed to be used but in new condition.

This is a handy little mower! Don’t expect to do the back 40 with it, but it’s the Little Engine That Could.I bought it to do 3 newly seeded sections of lawn that my lawn guys were tearing up with their heavy 360° mowers. So lightweight, it’s kind to new grass.Black and Decker has many good entry level products, and you can add this one to the list. Plus, electric mowers are very green and kind to the environment. I would recommend for small jobs!

Very rigid and clumsy making turns while mowing.

Lightweight. Easy to use. I wish it did not have to use the grass catch bag. If I didn't grass would be in my face and everywhere else. Otherwise it's great.

More impressed than I thought I was going to be. Had tall 12inch still wet grass from a rain a couple days before ona hot humid Texas day and handled it well
