Electric Push Lawn Mower, Corded, 13 Amp, 20-Inch Cutting Deck, 6 Setting Height Adjustment, Compact Storage, Collection Bag (BEMW213)

I spent over a month researching corded electric mowers before purchasing the BEMW213 Black and Decker lawn mower. I owned a previous model B&D mower that lasted almost 20 years and the motor finally gave out. I read through all the reviews, good and bad, about this mower and have to admit I was apprehensive about purchasing it as the negative reviews were quite powerful. But much to my surprise and joy, B&W has made great strides in producing an outstanding mower. I have nothing negative to say about this mower! Here are the top 10 good points: 1. Easy to assemble, takes about 5 minutes from out of the box 2. The varying height of the front and back wheels makes for a much easier job of manuvering the mower 3. The starting mechanism works very well and is easy to use 4. The cord does not get in the way of the path you are mowing 5. There are six different height positions for the cut of the grass 6. The bag is easy to attach and empty 7. The mulching tool is effective and easy to use 8. The engine is very powerful and cuts even high grass without slowing down 9. The unit is light and easy to handle 10. Easy to clean and put away after use

I'l start out by saying I'm lazy and don't mow the lawn more than once every 2-3 months honestly. In FL, during the rainy season, this is obviously not a good idea. The lawn is an absolute jungle. I have a proper 10gauge/3conductor 100ft extension cord that weighs more than the mower, so I thankfully don't run into any power loss from the cable heating up or being undersized. I've seen comments this is basically necessary, so if you have issues with yours, be sure to spend the extra on a "big boy" cord. On the shorter settings (1-3) it definitely gets bogged down on thick or wet grass. It's doable on setting 4. 5 and 6 are no problem. The shortest couple of settings scalp the lawn (which can be useful for certain things like overseeding, but you won't catch me putting in that kind of effort). If it gets bogged down, it's such a light mower that even my short 110lb self is able to easily rock it back as far as I need to to free it up before it seizes. That's all I ever really have to do to make sure it keeps running. I make some effort to not overwork it as I don't want the motor to get too hot; but no extravagant effort. I did have to add a sort-of cable clip to keep the extension cord wrapped around the bar and plugged in. The cable clips that come with it probably don't fit anything larger than a standard extension cord. I used them all to neatly tuck away the short cord that's on the unit itself. Fighting the cable here and there depending on the shape of your yard is inevitable, and you have to make sure you don't run it over obviously, but overall it's not too bad to deal with. Worth it IMO to skip on filling or starting a regular gas mower. The option to start and stop the mower right away without effort is nice. It's significantly quieter than a gas mower, although it's far from silent. I'd argue it's a fair bit louder than a vacuum cleaner. You'll still want to wear earplugs or some earbuds with music going, but it's not terrible. The bag mode is a pain; don't bother. Mulching mode works ok although I wish it chopped it up a bit finer and didn't build up in the closed bagging port as much as it does. It's not as strong as a gas mower, but that really hasn't been an issue for me; any regularly mowed lawn will be a breeze. Overall, bless electricity. Edit: Like another review mentioned, the handle that you must press to turn/keep the unit on broke. Took it apart, bolted some metal to it, glued the plastic pieces together, and it's limping along. That part is certainly not the best design.

I purchased this mower in September of 2021. I really liked the mower for it’s light weight and maneuverability. It cut well and was easy to use. In the first year the deflector door on the back cracked where the spring held it down. Not a big deal. The last time I tried to mow, the motor slowed and it started smoking. Removing the cover showed that the shaft was no longer aligned, and the blade would not spin easily. In reading other reviews, this is a common problem, yet B&D continues to market what is essentially a disposable product. I have a small lawn that takes about 30 minutes to cut. There are less than 100 hours on this mower. In contacting customer service, I found that they will not do anything about a product of theirs that was substandard. I’m disappointed because my previous B&D mower lasted 15 years with routine maintenance. Obviously, their quality control has diminished. I recommend shopping a different brand.

Muy buena arranca esa maleza difícil como si nada eso si cable de calibre 14 o 12 queda súper bien

Strong machine. Good make. Durable and does the job well.

2 mowers were delivered. Mower excellent.

I use it for cutting the lawn. It performs well.

I have many Black and Decker tools and this is my second electric mower from B and D. It is operating well and doing the job I expected. I am happy.
