If you’re in the market for a solid, economical electric mower, the Black & Decker 18-inch electric mower is worth a look. Powered by a high-efficiency, 6.5 amp, Black & Decker motor, this mower offers quiet, hassle-free operation, without the mess and expense of gas-and-oil models. No need for tune-ups and pull starts, either. This mower weighs just 36 pounds, making it easy to push and maneuver in the lawn. It features an 18-inch cutting blade; side discharge (optional Black & Decker side bag assembly #BA-075 sold separately); a rust-proof, polymer deck; and one-touch height adjustment (from 1 to 3-1/2 inches).

User Reviews
I have a small garden, part of which is grass. This mower works pretty well, except for the edges (for which it is too bulky). I need to find an alternate solution to get the edges of the grassy area trimmed. Assembly was fast, about 15 minutes or so. I would recommend it if you have a medium to large grass area. For small areas like mine, you may need to find a tool that is more flexible. -- Good mower, does not get the area edges
I am pleased with this mower. I purchased it for mowing a ditch that is too steep for the riding mower and also for trimming areas that the riding mower can't reach. It is lightweight and easy to use. It's a bit awkward working around the cord, but that is to be expected. Overall I think it was a good buy. I don't have to worry about charging a battery or having to bother with gasoline and oil -- just plug it into the outlet, pull up the handle and it's ready to mow. -- B&D Electric Mower
I have been using this mower for 2 months now in a peak lawn-growing season and this machine came in handy. It is not very strong, does not like tall, thick grass but for regular gardens this is an ideal tool. Power chord is not included, pay attention to that. It is _very_ light and quieter than gas mowers and does not smell. I had no problem with this machine at all; it is a good idea though to stop in every half an hour or so if you have a large garden and remove the stuck grass from the side. -- B&D
This is a good mower, AFTER I returned mine and get it from Walmart.
Amazon.com sent me a unchecked returned product. The box clearly has a return label on it. Inside, the mower is bare. All the packaging material is missing. Don't see a manual, so I download one from B&D. From the manual it says there should be a plastic bag with assembly parts. Nope, no such plastic bag in the box.
I ended up returning this mower, after spending 1/2 hr driving to the UPS store to ship it back to Amazon.
FINAL WORD: DON'T BUY FROM AMAZON.COM... If you do you may see my return label on the box! -- Good mower, BUT DON'T BUY FROM AMAZON.COM!
I purchased this mower because of the number of reviews that referred to its lightness and ease of use. I am more than pleased that I bought it. It truly is like using a vacuum cleaner. Even though some of the reviews stated that it did not do very well with high grass, I found it to do fine with my overgrown backyard. Of course, the cord makes it a little awkward, but again, no more awkward than having a cord for a vacuum cleaner. This mower has been a dream come true, especially since not mowing is not an option with my yard. The fact that I do not have to be yanking up to get it started was an immediate plus. Having a problematic right shoulder, yanking was presenting more and more of a problem. I strongly recommend this mower. -- Electric mower meets my expectations
