Seems like a pretty good deal for an electric mower. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Got one for my mom last year... Forgot how much it was, but hundred-something sounds right... Works pretty good, I even used it to mow her lawn. IMO, the nicest feature is the low noise. Just sort of this "WHHHHRRRRRRRR" noise...

You just have to manage the cord, but it's not a big deal...

I have the cordless one. Works great on my micro-yard, runs for months on a charge.

Definitely agree with this, get the cordless one. The corded one is just entirely too much of a hassle if you have a yard with trees, shrubs, or anything else you have to cut around. And since it's the off-season, now (well, 3 months ago really) is the time to buy.

Ebay has a bunch of B&D electrics.
Right now there are a bunch of MM275 models for $89.95 + ~$40 shipping (buy it now). This model is the same form factor but is the next step up . . . 9.0 Amps vs. 6.5 Amps, and it does mulching. BUT . . . these are Factory Serviced with one year new tool Black & Decker warranty rather than the two year warranty for new.

Unlike cars, more power for electric lawn mowers is always a good thing.
