12 amp Task Force 3 in 1 electric lawnmower

The 12 amp Task Force 3 in 1 electric lawnmower is a good buy. Costing less than $200, it is economical upfront and it uses no gasoline like other lawnmowers available.
The bag is effective and allows for easy removal and cleaning. The mower works well even with damp grass, and is quiet enough to use in early mornings or late evenings without disturbing your neighbors. The mower has the added benefit of being light and self propelled.
The worst issue with the Task Force electric lawnmower is the time spent working on not running over the electrical cord needed to power it.
When you reach to move the cord, often you release the handle and have to restart the lawnmower. While that is easy to do on the Task Force, it quickly becomes a nuisance to have to remedy each time you switch directions of the mower.
While most of the parts on the Task Force are durable, the cushioning around the handle quickly wears out or tears, with simple week by week use.
The wheels are large and easily adjusted, but it is difficult to find the proper setting that will allow the grass to be clipped closely without the bottom of the mower scrapping, or placing the setting too high to require additional mowing later, so the mower does not scrap the ground.
Overall, it is a good lawnmower for a small lawn in a residential area, especially for those looking for something without a large price tag.
