Easy to use
This mower was purchased about 6 months ago to replace a 6.5 HP mulching mower which was a bit over sized for the yard we have and had come to the end of its life. My wife is the primary grass cutter in the family and though she could handle the old gas mower it sometimes was a bit much to start and maneuver. For us cordless electric mower is a good fit. After doing some research we found that this model Black and Decker received high marks and praise from its owners. And after receiving ours I can see why. Set up is simple; just open the box fold out the handle and charge. Height is easily adjusted by squeezing a latch on the side of the mower and applying a small amount of pressure to push down or lift the mower.
The first time the mower was used on our yard I was I bit concerned how the it would perform because the grass was much higher than normal. However, I found that it had more than enough power to get the job done. In fact, I found that this mower mulched much better than our old gas one. Normally with grass this high our old mower would leave clumps cut grass behind, the B&D did not. The only problem I found was that it did not seem to cut a level path. After checking the mower I found that the blade had not been completely sharpened at the factory. After sharpening it preformed as good as any mower we have used.
At about twice the price of a comparable gas mower there is no way one could justify the price in operational savings over a gas mower. However, for us this mower makes up the difference in price in convenience and ease of use.

Good for what it is...
I received my B&D late in the season and so have only been able to use it 3 times. I read lots of awful reviews so was unsure, but I have been happy so far. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could.

The CONS are: bad instruction manual; awkward charging port / ignition slot; seems to miss patches of grass here and there; mulching function is so-so; and it's louder than I thought it would be.

The PROS are: no more gas and oil!; pull the handle and go - no yanking and starter fluid; and "better" for the environment.

Overall I would recommend this mower if you have a small/medium yard.

Black & Decker battery powered mower
This mower is an excellent product and has fulfilled every need I had. Since it is not self-propelled it is some times hard to push in long grass. I would recommend it to any one needing a simple easy to use mower.
