    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... :ph34r:

    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. ;)
