Black &Amp; Decker Cordless Mulch Mower Cmm1000

Pros: no oil, gas or tune-ups – no fumes, mows well, mulches and grass catcher
Cons: replacement battery is expensive and not available everywhere; recall -- read review

We have owned three Black & Decker battery-powered lawn mowers. The first lawnmower came from the electric company via a special promotion they offered (i.e. It was free in exchange for our broken gas mower.). We really liked that lawnmower, but it ...

Pros: Relatively quiet, no fumes, no liquids.
Cons: 90% of the strength of a gas mower.

I've been using this mower weekly for almost 2 months now, and I must say I'm very impressed. We just purchased our first home and 2 weeks after having our new sod i decided it was time to buy my first mower as a homeowner. Although I was skeptical ...

Pros: Quiet. No cord, no gas.
Cons: Pricey.

I've read all the reviews on this product and I must say that, for me, it works very well indeed. The CMM 1000 is a rechargeable, cordless electric mower, and, as such, is an innovation on the market (I also own the accompanying B&D cordless edger ...

Pros: Low maintenance, single lever height adjustment, quiet, light
Cons: Battery charge doesn't last long enough, fragile, expensive, uneven cutting

In March of 2000, I purchased the Black & Decker CMM1000 mower and was very excited about it. I hav ...

Pros: Cuts as well as my old corded electric without the hassle of the cord.
Cons: Heavier than a corded electric, must be stored with charger connected at all times.

Having used the same Toro corded mower for 30 years on my small lawn, I wanted to stick with an electric mower as a replacement, rather than revert to gas. The price of the Black & Decker cordless mower seemed prohibitive, until I found a "factory ...

Pros: Works as good as a gas mower, and no gas!
Cons: expensive

I have had this mower for two seasons, and am going on a third. I moved to a house with a really small yard three years ago, and wanted to get a cool reel mower. I had a Brill Lexus, and it was a great machine. The problem was, my lawn wasn't level...

Pros: No muss, no fuss.
Cons: Heavy, need to pre-charge.

I bought my CMM1000 used for $50 and although pristine otherwise, the battery was shot. I used it for several cuttings even though the battery could never hold the meter in the green. Many owners are put off by the price of the replacement batteries. ...

Pros: Convenience, good cutting results, no gas or tuneups required.
Cons: Battery charge limits cutting to approximately 7000-7500 SF on single charge.

This is my third electric mower, but my first cordless model. I've always liked the convenience of electric, especially the ability to start immediately without worrying about carburetor adjustments or whether or not the fuel is too old. ENDURANCE: My ...

Pros: Quite, no gas or oil to mess with, simple operation
Cons: Charging takes time, no corded option, a bit on the heavy side. Battery replacement/disposal.

Did you know that out of all of your possessions your gas lawn mower is possibly the biggest offender to the environment? Rid yourself of the gas, oil, mess, and noise with this mower from B&D. During it's first year of service I have found this mower to ...

Pros: Quiet, cuts well, easy to start and turn off
Cons: Higher prices than gas mowers. Doesn't mulch as well.

UPDATE This is an update to my original review below. I've had the mower for two months now. I've discovered that with a lawn size like mine, I usually need to recharge the mower before I cut the back lawn area. Also, an electric mower just doesn't ...

Pros: Quiet, no muss, no fuss
Cons: A tad expensive

I am going into my fourth season with the CMM1000, and had a smaller model for two years before that. I upgraded for 1.5 more horsepower, a higher cutting ability, and an inch wider stance. When I got the first one, the neighbors affectionately name it...

Pros: No pollution, fairly quiet, lo/no maintenance
Cons: A little expensive, heavy, battery kaput after two years

When I first bought the mower, it worked pretty well. It maneuvers all right, starts like a dream, the blade stays sharp seemingly forever, it mulches well, and stores easily for the winter. I have a corner lot, and I mow at least once per...

Pros: easy starts, no maintenance for first 3 years
Cons: expensive and inconvenient to maintain after 3 years

I bought a Black & Decker CMM1000 in May 2002. Much like other reviews from new owners, I adored it. Almost 3 years to the day later, it stopped working. I read from several sources online that the rechargeable battery lasts 3 years on average, and I had ...

Pros: Plastic deck easy to clean. Single lever height adjustment is a nice touch.
Cons: UNDERPOWERED, heavy. Cutting patchy, battery life short. Stalls if grass is too wet, or long.

I liked the plastic body and single lever height adjustment, and took the salesman's word that it was plenty powerful. What I found is that it just wasn't up to the job. When I spoke to the seller, they questioned whether it was charging properly and ...

Pros: Would be nice not to have to store gasoline IF THE MOWER WORKED.
Cons: Weak power, poor battery life, plastic construction, no suction/blowing, extremely heavy, hard to push

I concur completely with reviewer krwahl63 on this lawn mower. It is complete and utter garbage that shuts off after an average of about 1.5 minutes if your grass is even moderately thick, tall or damp. It worked far better the first year, but I ...
