mows nice till it breaks, July 9, 2006
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Black & Decker CMM1000R 19" Cordless Rear Bag Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I bought this mower when it first came out, and was happy to spend the extra dough not to have to spill gas and oil, and not to have a cord dragging behind. I used it for about a year and a half than stored it for a while, and when I brought it out of stoarage it worked for about an hour and than just quit, never to run again. I opened it up to see if it was just a short or something easy, and it turns out that in the process of taking the top cover off, the wires are so short it bends the circiut board. I swear they make it like that. Also a friend of mine had one that quit in the same manner, which suggests that there is a trend. When it does mow, it does fairly well, because of the slower blade speed, you have to mow more frequently, if the grass gets to high, it will leave a lot sticking up. All in all I don't think I'm going to buy another one.
