Customer Reviews and Pros & Cons
Most of the reviews of the Black & Decker Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower appeared to be generally positive, although some users do have some complaints.
Most customers appreciate the fact that this lawn mower requires virtually zero assembly, with the exception of the installation of the mulching bag and the removal of the mulcher. Several customers also found the Black & Decker Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower a lot easier to use than other products on the market.
A more important benefit that most customers seem to like is the fact that this lawnmower requires no gas or oil, resulting in cleaner, quieter and more environment friendly operation, with hardly any cleanup necessary. In fact, the only things that the Black & Decker Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower requires by way of maintenance is sharpening of the blades once or twice every year, and replacement of the battery, which will only have to be done once every two years.
Most of the customer complaints about the Black & Decker Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower have to do with the weight of the unit, which makes it a bit of a chore to mow uphill. The mostly plastic construction of the unit also didn’t inspire a lot of confidence. Other users have also complained about the lack of instructions detailing how the battery should be changed, and the relatively small capacity of the mulching bag.
