Amazon.com Product Description
The Black & Decker 24-volt cordless mulching mower gives you the power to mow or mulch your lawn without the mess, noise, smell and hassle of a gas-powered mower or the limitations of a cord. Using a 24-volt sealed lead acid battery, this mower has enough power to mow up to a 1/3-acre lawn on one charge (grass conditions will affect run-time). It can be operated as a mower by attaching a bag to catch the clippings, or it can be operated as an effective mulcher using a mulch plate; both the bag and the mulch plate are included. The rechargeable 24-volt battery conveniently regains up to 60-70 percent of its full power in only 4 hours, and up to 100 percent in 16 hours; the mower turns on quickly with just a switch. All four wheels can easily be adjusted with a one-touch lever to shift the blade height from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches; the push handle folds down when not in use for more compact storage. This product comes fully assembled, is backed by a full 2-year warranty, and the 19-inch, tough polymer cutting deck has a lifetime warranty.

Good mower September 5, 2008
It's good, but it's not a great mower. I replaced a 10 year-old rechargeable Ryobi Mulchinator, which died recently. I have a small area to mow, less than 1/8th of an acre. I'm hoping this mower lasts as long as the Ryobi Mulchinator. So far, here are my observations:
Pro:
- Uses two 12volt batteries, which are much less expensive and more available that the Ryobi's 24volt battery. That's a big advantage. All rechargeable mowers eventually require battery replacement.
- Cuts grass very well, maybe better than the Ryobi ever did, even when new.
- Reasonable price - $369 is not a bad price.
- I like having an external transformer - saves weight on the mower and will be simpler to replace than the Ryobi's.
Con:
- The battery is held in place in part by two styrofoam chunks. This cheap material will never last more than a few years and will have to be replaced. The plastic cover is also cheaply made and will probably crack after a while. The Ryobi was better on both counts.
- There's no charge meter - the Ryobi had one that worked well.
- The overload breaker resets automatically after one minute. There's no manual reset, and it's not user accessible.
- It's heavy. Doesn't bother me, but if you intend to mow a slope, or lack strength, then these lead-acid battery mowers won't work for you. Someday there will be a lightweight lithium-ion battery mower - I'll be the first to buy it.
 What a Great Mower August 28, 2008
This mower is awesome -- no cords, very little noise, no exhaust fumes, and it does my entire lawn on one charge!
I would recommend this product Black & Decker 19-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower #CMM1200 to anyone.
Great Mower! August 25, 2008
I have a smaller yard in the city (roughly 60x120) and the cordless mower works great!
The mower was fully assembled. All I had to do was unfold the handle and hand-tighten the bolts. It took about 7 hours to do the initial charge, and I keep it plugged in in between mowing so it is always ready to go.
The mower has one large button to easily adjust the cutting height and has plenty of charge to mow my lawn, which usually takes about 40 minutes. The 19-inch cutting width is a hair smaller than my old mower, but not so small as to be annoying. I hardly notice the difference.
Since the mower is not self-propelled it takes a little more effort to get it up inclines, but nothing grueling. The mower is not light, but it rolls easily on large wheels. My 9 year old son was pushing it around our yard after I got it with no problem at all!
I haven't used the bagger yet, but it does a nice job mulch mowing right out of the box.
Some reviews complain about how loud it is, but you can easily talk over it when it is running and it is loads quieter then my old gas mover, which I needed ear protection to use. The electric motor starts and stops on a dime so it is not problem if you have to stop to pick up a stick or some wayward toy.
So, if you have a smaller yard and want a green mower option I would highly recommend this mower.
We love it August 25, 2008
I got this lawn mower for my parents. They love it. They are elderly and this is perfect for them, no worrying about gas, the battery stays charged all the time, no cords to worry about. They are very satisfied.
 Mower Stopped Re-charging after Seven Uses August 24, 2008
This mower was great until it stopped working! It was quiet, mulched well, and the charge lasted long enough to cut our front & back yards (approx. 1/4 acre), BUT... After seven uses, it stopped recharging. I visited Amazon and noticed that others are experiencing similar problems, so Black & Decker is aware of the defect, but failed to be proactive in notifying customers who had purchased and registered their mowers. For this reason, rather than work with Black & Decker, I returned the mower to Lowes (thankfully they issued a full refund) and purchased a gas-powered mower. Wish the Black & Decker had been more reliable!
