The Black and Decker LM175 gets the job done right – My Review
Saturday, April 24th, 2010
The Black and Decker LM175 is a light and easy to push lawnmower that is the perfect fit for yards where you have a plug outlet within one hundred feet of the furthest area to be cut. The lawnmower features the 18-inch polymer deck with a side discharge (with an optional, sold separate bag), a strong and durable 6.5 Black and Decker electric motor, and convenient and effortless one-lever height adjustment, with the ability to adjust from 1 to 3 1/2 inches on all four wheels. There are no hassles with gas, oil, and tune ups, making this mower easy to maintain and giving it low maintenance. It only weighs 35 pounds, so it is light and easy to work with. To top it all off, there is a limited lifetime warranty on the deck and a limited 2 year warranty on everything else.
If you are interested in purchasing this lawnmower, go get it at Amazon, where they currently have it on sale for 54% off and with free shipping through this link.
Here is a look at the features of the Black and Decker LM175:
- Powerful 6.5 Amp motor
- 18-inch cutting path; 100-foot range
- 1-lever height adjustment that adjusts all four wheels at once from 1 to 3-1/2 inches
- No gas, oil, or tune-ups to worry about; weighs only 35 pounds
- Side discharge (bag also optional, sold separately)
- Limited lifetime warranty on deck; 2-year limited warranty on everything else
When looking for a lawnmower, one of the first things you should look for is its ease of use from the moment you get it in your home. Right out of the box, the Black & Decker LM175 lawnmower has a tool free assembly that will get you up and running in just minutes. Once you get it assembled, getting started is as simple as pulling a lever. Being a lightweight lawnmower, you can easily mow your lawn with the least amount of effort and hassle, and with with no gas, oil, or tune-ups necessary, you will not have much maintenance with it. Depending on the depth of your grass, you can also adjust the height from 1 to 3 1/2 inches using the one touch height adjustment. With a lifetime warranty on the deck and a two year warranty on everything else, this lawnmower is guaranteed to work for you for the long term. There are two drawbacks with this mower, however, but they are minor compared to the convenience this mower will provide for you. First of all, the cord can be a very slight hassle when mowing your lawn, but you can work around it easily. Secondly, an optional bag is sold separately, which I think should have been included with the mower, but the side discharge works very well.
Amazon.com has the cheapest price for this lawnmower online if you are wanting to buy it. They even include the shipping. Get it through this link.
Despite the two minor drawbacks, the Black & Decker MM175 is an excellent choice for those people who want to save on gas and oil costs that they have to deal with on other mowers. Also, for people who don’t have much arm strength and/or a disability and can’t yank a pull cord to start it, the lever start on this mower would fit you like a glove. Also, if you are looking for sheer convenience and ease of use, this lawnmower is the right one for you. It gets my recommendation for a starter lawnmower.
