Black & Decker (18") 6.5-Amp Corded Electric Push Lawn Mower

I've had a few of these mowers, mainly because they are lightweight, and when they work, they cut well.

The plastic chassis design is pretty good, and probably the main reason why these are lighter and easier to mow with than any other electric push mowers I've used, until they break and have to be thrown out with the rest of the trash.

Unfortunately the chassis may be the only well designed part in this whole unit.

Two of my mowers developed a short circuit in them after hitting a root, that would trip my circuit breaker. At least one other just broke after a similar incident. none were fixable, I decided enough getting a new mower every two years just so I can use a lightweight mower.

They cut way too many corners on this model, incl. no rubber handle grip to prevent the plastic on switch handle from pinching the hand while mowing. This is the only electric model I've seen from any brand with that obvious short sight. It's too bad it's obviously not built to last, or I would want to buy another one.

If you have a perfectly flat lawn, and/or can baby your mower, keeping any fragile crimps from disengaging, (where solders belong) and don't mind having gloves handy when using it, you may like this one and get to use it for several years, just like Jackie Bradley Jr. might win the 2016 A.L. MVP and hit 60 homers with 125 RBI's as the Red Sox #9 hitter. not likely but it's possible.
