No complaints - very pleased I've owned the mower for two years and have had no problems with it. It does take a bit of getting used to: you have to develop a feel for how much power the mower is pulling off of the battery, which I do by the sound and feel of the mower. This is only an issue if you are mowing unlevel ground, or thick grass. The mower will bog down easily in thick grass, and when it bogs, it uses a lot of juice.

Get up one day, it won't run. Wiring problems (shabby assembly, really), mechanical glitches (cheap parts, really)... No more Black & Decker ANYTHING in my house... The new... more info
