BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Battery-Powered Cordless Lawn Mower

Jean-Guy: La hauteur maximale de coupe est insuffisante. Elle devrait être au moins de 3.5 po pour réduire les arrosages et les mauvaises herbes.
L'appareil ne permet pas le déchiquetage pour pouvoir laisser les résidus en place pour nourrir le gazon et éviter la disposition par la municipalité.

Chris S.: I bought this mower the spring of 2022. Initially I was quite happy with it. It's quite compact and light, and came with 2 batteries which you can swap quite easily. Perfect for smaller lawns. However, after a few uses one wheel fell off, and then another. It was relatively easy to reattach the wheels but it seems the mower was assembled sloppily. This spring I started having a bigger problem as one battery stopped holding charge and I'll need to spend money to get a replacement battery. All in all I'm relatively happy with the mower I just wish the battery lasted more than just one summer.

Timothy PTimothy P: Everyone, like me, wants to know, should I buy a 40v mower to replace my tired gas mower.

I received this unit today and I put it to a serious challenge. I tested its limits. Here are the results for everyone on the fence.

I set the mower to 4 resulting in about 2-3" of dense lawn mowing. Something that even my gas 6.5hp craftsman would choke on from time to time.

My results :
Cons :
-I mulch, not bag. This mower is not great at mulching, especially when you're cutting off 2+“. It will bog down in dense grass.
-it will stall if your taking off more than 3"at a time

Pros :
-It is so light and quiet that it feels like a toy. I was really hesitant to get a mower without auto drive. This is not an issue. This thing feels like I'm vacuuming the carpet with a Tonka toy. I was easily able to pick this up to move up some steps with one hand.

-For the first time ever, I got my wife to more the lawn. Enough said.

-Battery life is pretty good considering the challenge I put this through. See the photos. I was able to cut a substantial amount of dense grass (~3000sqft) on one and 1/4 batteries.

-It's quieter than my steam mop. I...

Oregonpeeps: I have an old black and decker mower, the 27 volt rechargeable. I have had it for a lot of years (way over 15, closer to 18) and have abused the heck out of the thing. It lived outside for 9 years, always took a charge, and always worked great. I could mulch, mow, anything I needed it to do. Fast forward to today, the mower doesn't quite take a charge like it used to, but boy did it have a great run. Because of that, I decided I would go ahead and buy the same kind of mower, and I am not disappointed. I didn't want to deal with cords and outlets, and I didn't want to deal with gas and oil. I chose to get this one on Amazon because it comes with two batteries and the charger (the local stores are selling the mower only, no batteries or charger for at least 100 dollars more). My old mower was a 19 inch, this one is a 16 inch. I thought it might be an issue, but it is not. Gets into smaller spaces and is easier to turn. The extra power of the 40 volts is worth it. I just finished a job where I did a very large, wet, overgrown lawn and this mower handled it on the included two battery packs without any issue at all. Went over pine cones and branches without issue. Bagged up the grass...

swiftie13🍝: I love this thing. I have a small yard (120' x 40' city lot) and had previously been using a Scotts 20" reel mower. No slight on the reel mower, it served me well for 8 years and is still in great shape, but I was tired of its limitations. It didn't cut very long stragglers or weeds and I had to go over the lawn with my trimmer afterwards.

I replaced my trimmer with a 40V Max one recently and decided to take the plunge on the mower to match. I decided on this one because I have a small yard, I want to bag (my kids are forever tracking clippings onto the deck and into the house otherwise) and I need it to cut clean in one go without having to revisit the entire lawn with the trimmer.

Well, this does that very well. It's better made than I had expected, it's very quiet, it cuts very well and it's small and maneuverable. I have trees and other things I have to move around and it's very easy to do so. It cuts high enough for my purposes; I run it on the tallest setting which cuts around 3". Under normal circumstances I can cut my whole lawn on one battery with power left over.

If you want a mower that cuts higher than 3", don't get this. If you want a mower that...

CL: This is somewhat of a premature review since I've only used the mower once, however I was pretty underwhelmed with the initial performance of the mower. Part of this is because I bought a DeWalt 40V electric trimmer earlier this summer that blew my corded electric out of the water, even at the low setting! This mower is significantly less powerful than a gas alternative so I am a bit disappointed.

My lawn is a bit sloped so I have tall grass at the bottom and shorter grass at the top. The mower was initially set at the lowest setting and it did a great job cutting SUPER close, however it choked/stopped early and often. The mower had to be at the tallest setting to trim things down, before a second pass at a lower setting - having to re-start the motor repeatedly in between. I didn't even bother trying to tackle the majority of the tall grass as I'd have to to tilt the mower up and sit it on top of any tall patches for the motor to keep running.
I didn't charge the battery out of the box so I can't comment on battery life yet, but it did take clear out all the short grass filling up 1.25 bags over 15 mins (with frequent restarts).
I was slightly disappointed with the...

By On By: This works well for my small, weedy, hilly yard.
I have had this for at least 6 full summers now.

The good:
I'm not the most conscientious mower of my lawn. It's a clearing in a wooded area, not particularly visible to neighbors, in a rural community with no covenants about grass length, so I don't always feel a great obligation to do anything about the lawn until it starts to get so deep that the cat gets lost. This mower is fine with that - as long as the length is set at one of the highest grass length settings it will plow right on through any sort of thick grass and weeds - even blackberry bushes (don't worry, I always send a search party for the cat and put him inside first).

It doesn't get caught up on much of anything.
It has accidentally hit both a large rock and a half-buried brick and did not suffer any damage (not that I'd recommend trying to mow over such things with any mower - I was probably just lucky that it didn't break the blade.)
It's easily maneuverable around my hilly yard, and so light that I can carry it up the stairs to keep it on the porch.
The bag is very easy to get on and off, and to empty - it has a big handle and you just...
