Title: Mows okay, useability good, reliability a bust
Product review: Bought this mower to replace a Toro 18" electric that worked great for 18 years (but they don't make it anymore--what are you thinking Toro?). The B&D; lasted 1-1/2 years of weekly summer use before the motor burned out completely. Not recommended. I guess I'll be trying the Neuton EM 5.1 next in my quest to replace the Toro (once again--are you listening, Toro?) Sigh.On the plus side, this did an acceptable cutting job on moderate-length grass, mulching was mostly good on shorter grass, and it did have a more powerful motor than the Toro. The height adjustment worked great, and the cord management was all right once I trained myself to slide the cord holder and hold onto the cord with the appropriate hand.
