LawnMasterMEB1216K Electric Lawn Mower 16-Inch 12AMP

So it was time for a new mower as my 20 year old gas mower stopped running while I was cutting the grass a few weeks ago. Thought the carbs just needed to be cleaned but still won't start after cleaning and just so tired of the work it takes to keep it running. Almost threw out my back and shoulder pulling the string a few dozen (seems like hundreds) of times. Could probably get it running again if I had to but I'm over it.I was originally going to get a greenworks but the delivery time was 2 weeks and I couldn't wait that long. The ETA for this one was 1 week so this is the one I ordered. To my pleasant surprise it arrived 2 days after ordering (thanks amazon and lawnmaster!).Assembly consists of attaching the handle, which took all of 5 mins if that. (I think the mower's made in china and sometimes the manuals for stuff made there aren't written in the best English, but this one was written in perfect english). Charged the batteries and cut the grass the next day. The fact that it came with 2 batteries was the biggest deal maker for me. Didn't want to have a single battery die in the middle of cutting. And bonus, it comes with a dual charger so you can charge both at the same time.How does it work? Great. Push the button to start, relatively quiet, height adjustment is a breeze, light, easy to maneuver, no pull string, air filter, spark plug, gas, fumes, oil to worry about, ever. It also comes with a mulcher that you can use instead of the bag if that's your thing. I use the bag which isn't huge, which to me is a good thing as it makes it easy to remove and empty. To clean I just used the leaf blower to blow all the loose grass off and it's so light and easy to tip over compared to my gas mower, just tip it over (and don't have to worry about gas spilling) and blow underneath it. Done.I don't have a ton of space in my garage (old mower was kept outside), but this one (with the handle moved up to its highest position) fits right in to the little space I have in there.Front and back I have give or take about 800 sq feet of lawn and when I was done still had plenty of battery left. I did try to cut as fast as I could to make sure I didn't run out of battery before I was done but now I know that's not necessary for me.I don't know if this is the best electric mower out there but I have no complaints about this one. And it was one of the less expensive ones I looked at.I've seen some reviews saying the batteries were a little tough to get into the mower (or was that for a different brand?) but I had absolutely no issues. They clicked right in and removed easily.Now it's just a matter of seeing how it will hold up after time but after 1 mow I'm happy as can be. And I'm all electric now (blower, weed eater and now mower) so if you're environmentally conscious like me that's a bonus.PS. Glad I read this in the manual but it says to remove the batteries from the charger after they're charged to prolong their life. Some chargers have an auto shut off so it doesn't matter if you leave the batteries in or not, so be aware if you get this one.No problem recommending this one at all, in fact I highly do.

I don't write many reviews. I have to be either really disappointed or really love something. This mower rocks! Yes, it is small with plastic wheels, but it's mighty. It goes through the grass like butter. I have a zero turn as I have a few acres, but it was broken, and I was waiting on a part. I bought this to hold me over so I could at least mow the backyard for the dogs. I didn't want to spend the money on a gas mower or a battery mower. Besides, I don't have any faith in the battery mowers to do what I needed, certainly not on a single charge. This is lightweight, no problem pushing, and now I use it in place of a weed whacker. Zero turns are great for going around trees, not so much in corners. No more having to drag the weed whacker out to make several passes to cut down the fenced corners and around my garden area where the zero turn can't fit. (52" deck) Honestly, I wish I had bought this sooner. I would much rather push this around than swing a weed whacker back and forth. This mower is significantly faster and produces a more consistent cut than weed whacking where the zero turn doesn't fit.

Corded version.Pros:- Lighter that previous mowers.- Smaller so it can fit in storage instead of out in the elements.- Plastic bottom that won't rust out like previous mowers.Cons:- If you mow without the bag, there is an slight opening in the bag that the grass will come out of until it clogs up at which point grass goes out the bottom like it should.- The rubber safety flap in the back of the mower is too large so you can't pull the mower backwards. I had to remove the rubber piece for now so I could mow the yard. I'll probably cut it down to size so you can pull the mower backwards.- Smaller than I am used to so it takes more back and forths to mow. Luckily the yard is small.- To flop the handle down for storage, you have to screw the handle on both sides. Previous mower (different name brand) had a lever that you could flip to fold the handle. I'll have to move the one from the old mower to this mower.

Excellent Mower!!! I wanted to wait awhile to make sure this mower would continue to work as it does. It's absolutely incredible. I was so impressed with it. I wish it was self propelled but it's not you push it. It's little but scrappy. Does a great job mowing. If you have tall grass you simply lift it up by tilting it back a littlr to trim down the grass then go over it again. I was surprised it was faster than weed wacking. I'd buy it again. :)
