"Mower = Awesome! Fan = Trash!!"2009-08-11
By D. Burdette (Plano, TX USA)
I'm a big fan of the electric mower. I love using mine for what it provides in ease of use and the environment.
I do not recommend buying this lawn mower however.
1. There is a plastic fan attached to the blade that breaks.
2. I wish I had bought a cordless one.
The main reason I would not buy this lawn mower is there is a fan underneath the chasis connected to the blade.
This fan is to cool the system and balance the blade. The problem is, it is plastic. Brittle plastic.
I've had my MM575 for about 6 months. Within a week, a dog squeeky toy got under the mower and broke some fins off the plastic blade. It started a mild wobble witch worried me, but was not drastic enough to warrent ordering a new fan piece. This last weekend, a twig broke the fan in half. Not a log, not a rock, just a simple twig. Now the balance is out of control and I will not use it for fear of the blade flying off. So I have to either order a new plastic fan, or buy a different lawn mower. I did look and the cordless ones from Black & Decker do not have a plastic fan on the bottom, so I am thinking about getting one of those, but do I really want to buy a more expensive product from a company that puts brittle plastic on the underside of a lawn mower.....?
The part number for the fan on the MM575 is 241125-00 Black and Decker 241125-00 Fan MM Series Electric Mowers
The cord can be quite the pain. Moving, pulling, tugging, getting it out of the way.

"Light and easy one handed mower"2009-06-02

I got this second hand from a friend who upgraded to the cordless model. It was already 2 years old when I got, and I've had it now for 4 years.
In all the time I've had it all I've had to do is replace the blade as it wouldn't sharpen anymore. Yes the cord does take sometime to get used to but after the first couple of uses you quickly work out a system that lets you get around your lawn without any tangles.
It easily cuts my lawn no matter how long I leave it. Last night I cut my back garden for the first time this year, after leaving it working on other back garden projects. In places it was about 7-8inches thick and it never bogged down, cut everything on the first pass. The motor keeps on trucking, it is quiet enough that I can have a conversation with my kids. It leaves my lawn looking just as neat and manicured as my neighbours who all use petrol mowers.

The cord is super annoying. I thought since I had such a small yard it wouldn't be bad...but it gets in the way often and can double the time it take to mow. It mows ok, but if the grass is even a little damp it clumps a lot and leaves deposits all over the yard. I'll be getting a old fashioned gas mower next time.

I bought this mower 2 seasons ago, and have been very happy with it. It was easy to assemble and starts instantly every time. It doesn't have quite as much power as my old gas machine, so the mowing is uneven when I run over thick, tall areas (which is often, I don't mow as much as recommended). I bought it because its MUCH better for the environment than a gas mower, and I can deal with the less power issue. We have about 1/2 acre of grass and thats about as much as I'd recommend this for. My kids hate dealing with the cord, but I find it minor issue. This mower is much quieter than a gas mower (another reason I bought it) but not quiet enough to talk over...One reviewer said his wife indoors couldn't hear it, but that would never happen with ours.
