BLACK+DECKERLawn Mower, Corded, 13-Amp, 20-Inch (MM2000)

So easy to use! It's light, quiet, powerful enough to cut the grass and the tall weeds really well, adjusts height super easy, and, of course, there is no disgusting gas smell! And no forgetting to charge it! As long as the cord reaches where you need to mow, you're all set. Mowing my half acre yard feels almost like a pleasant walk now! Love it!

The MM2000 Black and Decker Mower is the IDEAL mower for this time. Imagine, cutting your lawn, no matter the size, WITHOUT THE "CHARGE THE BATTERIES FOREPLAY!" Make no mistake, this IS the Electric Age. We abandoned Kerosene flashlights decades ago, and Lithium Batteries are appropriate for Phones, Computers, Weed Trimmers, Power Drills, AND Plug-In-Hybrid Automobiles, but not so for Lawnmowers (and Snowblowers.) WHY NOT? The power supply is "Not THERE YET". We need to get the job done, one shot, right?I estimate 3,500 Watt-Hours of power to trim my suburban lawn. An EGO 56V 5Amp battery would provide 280 Watt-Hours. Again these are estimates, but rounding, I would need 12.5 such batteries at 100% efficiency.The MM2000 uses a power source that is 100% compatible with what I already own-12or14 Gauge extension cords. This is clean power. Quoting the US Secretary of Energy, "the power comes from the wall." (No oil, gas, coal, nuclear.) :+} :=)It took less than 5 minutes to get the MM2000 out of the box and assembled, just attaching the handle with nice thumbscrew/levers, no tools needed. The MM2000 has a full range of height settings, a mulching adapter, is nimble&lightweight (no batteries or gasoline weight to smash the grass down), and a great built-in fan above the blade that provides suction and picks up & mulches (compacts) leaves-NO RAKING. The left side "EDGEMAX" almost makes weed trimmers un-necessary in many landscaping scenarios. The collection bag is easily unhooked, & the opening fits perfectly into standard yard waste paper bags. All very neat.The two stage switch is very well thought out. I cannot imagine the unit running "accidentally" but PLEASE, UNPLUG THE UNIT WHEN DOING ANY CLEANING OR INSPECTION. NOT HAVING AN EVER-PRESENT BATTERY MAKES THIS A V-E-R-Y S-A-F-E Lawnmower. THERE IS NO WAY THE MOTOR CAN TURN WHEN IT IS UNPLUGGED, RIGHT???Now comes the classic objection-"what about the cord?" THIS IS AN INANE OBJECTION! Who cuts their lawn without 1 checking for children, 2 a mowing pattern, 3 checking for pets and wildlife, 4 checking for garden hoses and 5 checking for debris(potential projectiles)-CONTINUOUSLY? So if an Environ-mentally Friendly extension cord is a problem, perhaps consider a Professional Lawn Care Service?Buy a B&D MM2000 while you can and at a TERRIFIC PRICE ON AMAZON!

Arrived May 30, 2024. From the beginning, with power disconnected, blade did not turn freely, but I thought perhaps it had some kind of mechanical brake since it ran and did not make odd noises or overheat. By 4th or 5th mowing on July 28, 2024, when I stopped to let a dog and neighbor pass, it did not start up again. When I checked the blade with power off, it was very hard to turn the blade, so motor could not turn it anymore. This mower should never have left the factory and been sold. Possibly someone else had returned it and it was sold to me as new. I will add to this review when I figure out in-warranty service or full refund.I received a replacement under warranty. It too has failed in the identical way 7-15-2025 on the 6th or 8th mowing. B&D did not want the first mower back, so I disassembled it to see why it failed. It has a mechanical brake. Since there are ventilation holes between the internal body and the yard debris bag, the mechanical brake is subject to grass and dirt. This buildup eventually causes the braking action while mowing and stalls the motor completely. While this was the immediate cause of failure of the first mower, the majority of the bearings were in corroded condition. They looked like the mower had been warehoused somewhere between manufacture and Amazon and had experienced flooding, but put in a new box and sold. I have not disassembled the now failed warranty replacement because I don't want to void the warranty. B&D has to know that these mowers, due to poor design are not suitable for advertised purpose. Don't buy this model! Perhaps look for the direct drive models that have a DC motor with electric braking system whether this brand or another brand.

This mower managed to cut my overly tall lawn as easily (if not slightly more so) than the 6.5hp Craftsman gas mower I retired. It even does a better job of mulching.It is light enough to be picked up with one hand (using the handle on top of the motor) and maneuvers well. The light weight does make it bounce around a bit on rough surfaces, but that's just a matter of getting used to it. The plastic housing is tougher than expected as proven by the rocks my son's dog so thoughtfully scattered in the backyard.It's also quiet enough that you can actually hear the music coming from your headphones without damaging your hearing.I only have two gripes --1) The blade is absolute crap. The metal it's made of is too soft and the edge is not terribly sharp. It may be worth looking for an alternate blade. Sharpening it is a definite priority in any case. This is the reason I only gave it four stars.2) While it does cut closer to the sides than many gas mowers, the front handle sticks out too far and makes it hard to get close when trying to cut under bushes and such.Overall, it's a great mower -- especially for only $200.

What is there to say, it does what it says. Nice power, easy to adjust the height, very light and easy to push. With a good blade, it leave a good quality cut. My last mower was 13 inch, so this 20 inch is a real time saver.

This Lawn mower is great, I recommend for anyone with shoulder issues. It's light weight and cuts great even thick grass.
