Black & Decker 18-Inch 6.5 Amp Electric Mower

This is, hands down, the best lawn mower that I have used to date, for several reasons. To start with, it’s very affordable.
I only paid $158 for this thing, and in my not so humble opinion, it did just as good a job as a more expensive lawn mower would do.
It also makes mowing your lawn a cinch because of how light it is—it’s very easy to push back and fourth, not unlike a regular household vacuum cleaner would be. I don’t find that having to start it is particularly difficult, either.
You just pull the cord, and you’re ready to go! No multiple yanks or anything. That said, once it does get going, it’s considerably quieter than most other lawn mowers, and it also doesn’t reek of gas fumes when you’re done mowing your lawn.
(Which is a plus for those of you who are eco friendly and trying to cut down on your air pollution!) One of my only complaints is about the mulching bag. It’s very small and doesn’t hold much, so I often find myself having to empty it several times per mowing session.
It’s also a bit of a drawback that this lawnmower lacks a battery, thus forcing you to plug it into an outlet on your house. If you have a small yard, though, this usually isn’t a problem and can be dealt with. All in all, I feel like this is a great lawn mower for a great deal. Buy it today!
