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 Heste

I HAVE USED A B&D MOWER FOR OVER 20 YEARS. SINCE IT DIED I OBTAINED ANOTHER AND IT IS SERVING WELL. IF IT DIES IN THE NEXT 20 OR SO YEARS OTHERS WILL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER. BEING 83, I DOUBT I WILL BE AROUND........

I wanted a cordless electric, but it seems that the batteries just aren't reliable enough. I used a gas Toro mulcher for many years and enjoyed its maneuverability, but I wanted to get away from the oil and gas and starting hassles. So, the MM675 was a compromise, and, after using it for two months, I am very happy with it.I mulch every six days at the 2 inch height and used it to mulch the leaves (while they were dry and crispy and not all at once) from a good-size maple tree. It did fine. The flip handle is very useful and helps to keep the cord out of danger. Finally, it is light and easy to push, even one-handed.
As for lifting it out of the box; try putting it on its side, cutting the tape, folding back the flaps, gently lowering it while supporting the contents with one hand, and lifting the box off the machine.

I just purchased this mower to replace a Black and Decker electric mower I bought 19 years ago. This mower is 10 times better than my original mower. Everyone has told you all the positive things about this mower, so I won't list them again. The thing I like most compared to my original is the ease of changing cutting heights and the fact that it can be used as a mulching mower or as a side shooting mower. This is great when you want it to throw leaves and not mulch them.

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 ... Read More

I am very happy with my electric mower thus far. I needed something I could put in my car (Firebird) and mow a medium sized area in front of my office and some areas at my home. The light weight mower was easy to lift and the handle comes off to make it compact enough to put in the back seat and hatch area of my car. The electric wire, for my jobs does not get in the way. In fact, it presents no problem once you get used to it.
The power of the mower is not as much as I would love. When the grass is high (over 8 inches) the mower starts to bog down. But if one simply does not challenge the power by mowing less grass per pass, or by raising the mower as you push to trim back some grass for the second pass, it does the job well and mulches the grass.
I have had the mower a short time and have only used it three times thus far, but I don't forsee any problems.
