Customer Review: Manageable under non-ideal mowing conditions
Summary: 5 Stars
My yard is hardly ideal for a corded electric mower. It's about six-tenths of an acre, and it's also divided into a half dozen smaller areas separated by walks, fences and flower beds. To reach out-of-the-way spots with a 100' cord, I have to plug into three different outlets. In several places the ground is uneven. There are shrubs and trees to work around, and various obstacles (like low shrubs) on which an extension cord can snag. I hesitated before ordering an electric, particularly one with a cord.
I mowed the lawn this morning with the MM675 and found more to like than dislike. I've been spending about 1.5 hours with a 22" gas push mower, catching grass in high-traffic areas (where my wife doesn't want grass tracked into the house). This was my first time with the MM675 (18" cut), and it took me about 2 hours. But next time will go much faster. Under my yard conditions, cord management is a nuisance, but won't be hard to master. Despite my first-time inefficiencies, I finished the job less tired than I have been after pushing around the much heavier mower this one replaced. (All the points people make about the general advantages of electricity over gasoline seem true to me.)
I'm baffled by one reviewer's comment that the flip handle is awkward. I'll have to unlearn some habits (like starting to turn the mower at the end of a row, which defeats the purpose of the handle), but this is a good feature, easy to use. I have only a few areas big enough to get the full advantage of flipping, but it's great for those.
In small, awkwardly shaped areas, I don't flip. I just move back and forth, the way I'd vacuum around furniture. Going backward, you have to be careful not to hit the cord, but the mower can be manipulated with one hand, so in tight places it's not hard to hold the cord out of harm's way.
Bagging grass is a nuisance with any mower. I'm not wild about a side-bagger, but this one is OK. The mower mulches so well that bagging is hardly necessary. (I still caught clippings in my highest traffic areas, but the rest of the lawn looks as good or better than it did after bagging with my old mower.)
Power: more than adequate. The mower labored once, when the bag filled with damp grass. Easy height adjustment: terrific.
I began this as a four-star review (reflecting a few difficulties) but will go back and change it to five stars since my problems were all site-specific. I don't regret buying this mower, and if I had an easier lawn to work with, buying it would be a no-brainer.

Description of Black & Decker Lawn Hog 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Mulching Mower, Flip-Handle #MM675
Bravo to Black & Decker for two great innovations on this electric mower. First, the flip-over handle! You get to the end of a pass, flip the handle and head back the other way in an instant. Next, users will especially appreciate the one-touch lever that raises and lowers all four wheels at once from 1 inch to 3-1/2 inches, saving the trouble of adjusting each wheel's height. It's about time. In addition, the electric 12-amp motor means hassle-free starting, no gas/oil mixes, no fumes, less noise, and no battery to charge. The cushioned handle adjusts for the user's height, another nice touch not available on most mowers. It mulches beautifully, but if you prefer, you can purchase a side bag. Electric mowers have their naysayers, but if you're in the market for one, you can't beat this.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteMowers Tools
