 - Lawn MowerGood, as long as your grass is not too over grown. It's not for a yard thats been neglected. Great for smaller yard. Rating: - Nice LawnmowerThis is a nice lawnmower. It's very easy to push and great for a small yard. The cord is hard to get used to and it creates a little more work, but it is nice not to have to worry about gas, oil, spark plugs, etc. Rating:  - great lawnmowerGreat buy at $149.99!! Lighter weight, easier to raise & lower blades, & just as powerful as my previous machine. Also, free-shipping option (slower) was still very quick. Rating: - Great Mower for WomenI have used this mower twice now. I did order the side bag. My only issue with that is that it is fairly small. I probably should have ordered the bigger mower and bigger bag, but at the time this is what I could afford. I think the mower is great. I dont have any issue at all with trying NOT to mow over the extension cord. This is a great mower for women because there is no maintenance as far as gas, etc. and no stupid cord to pull ! I would reccomend this mower to anyone. Rating:  - reasonably satisfiedI'm 41 and a new homeowner and have lived in apartments till now. This is the first lawn mower I have ever bought, so I don't have any basis for comparison. I can tell you this lawn mower makes much less noise than those of my neighbors, all of whom use gas mowers. It also costs less to operate. Assuming 7 cents per kWhr, which is about what my electric company charges, and assuming 120 volts AC, then it costs about six cents to operate my mower for one hour. Comparably-priced gasoline models will burn through a half gallon of fuel in that time. And then there are spark plugs and oil to replace in those as well. The electric mower also emits no odors. It came partially assembled, requiring that I only put together and install the handle. The directions were thorough and easy enough to follow. On the downside, the lawnmower doesn't come with a power cord! Not such a big deal unless you're expecting one. No where in the ad does it come out and say "Power cord not included." Very misleading. Luckily I live a few blocks from a hardware store and was able to buy one in a hurry. And, yes, I have managed to run over mine. But sixty seconds and a few inches of electrical tape later I'm up and running. I have a standard, quarter-acre suburban lot, so there's nowhere I can't reach with my ten-dollar, 100-foot, bright orange cord, but I do have to constantly remember to whip it up out of the way lest I run it over again. More often, I simply have my wife follow along behind and keep it out of the way. Overall, we like the fact that it's quiet, easy to start and stop, and leaves a very small carbon footprint. I have used it three times so far in the five weeks I have lived in this house and I'm satisfied with its performance. I'd recommend it so long as you don't have a huge lawn and have the patience to keep up with the cord.
