Title: Scrap after one year
Product review: I bought this mower a year ago at Home Depot. A couple of weeks ago a flame came out of the control switch unit while I was mowing, and Black and Decker gave me UPS shipping authorization to send it back for warranty repair (they have a two-year warranty). The call agent didn't seem at all surprised about the fire. And this morning I got a call from a guy at the service center who tells me that the repair is NOT covered under warranty because the blade has been nicked. Apparently this mower is pretty fragile. I have a couple of areas to cut that are rough, and I have whacked a rock or two. With electric mowers (or maybe just electric mowers of this quality?), that can destroy the motor. Funny they didn't mention that when I bought it. I can't recommend this mower. Even if your yard is perfectly smooth, you're going to hit something some day, and then your mower will be scrap.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
