Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: The Black & Decker 24-volt cordless mulching mower gives you the power to mow or mulch your lawn without the mess, noise, smell and hassle of a gas-powered mower or the limitations of a cord. Using a 24-volt sealed lead acid battery, this mower has enough power to mow up to a 1/3-acre lawn on one charge (grass conditions will affect run-time). It can be operated as a mower by attaching a bag to catch the clippings, or it can be operated as an effective mulcher using a mulch plate; both the bag and the mulch plate are included. The rechargeable 24-volt battery conveniently regains up to 60-70 percent of its full power in only 4 hours, and up to 100 percent in 16 hours; the mower turns on quickly with just a switch. All four wheels can easily be adjusted with a one-touch lever to shift the blade height from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches; the push handle folds down when not in use for more compact storage. This product comes fully assembled, is backed by a full 2-year warranty, and the 19-inch, tough polymer cutting deck has a lifetime warranty.

Cheap Starter Assembly and Far Distant Repair Shop
The starter handle and its assembly snapped off after about 20 uses. I should have looked before I purchased, but was surprised to find that the nearest Black and Decker repair facility (according to their web site) was 2 round-trips of 60 miles each. (total of 60 miles to take it, and 60 miles to retrieve it after repairs.)
Fortunately, I was able to find an authorized repair shop just 5 miles away, but they were not listed on the B&D website.

Used 3 times
I was impressed the first 3 times I used this mower. It was very quiet and cut the grass easily. On my fourth attempt the mower would not spool up to speed. I emailed customer service, they shipped out a charger (took about one week).... Still the same problem. Now I get to drive 30 miles (one way)to the factory service center to see if they can fix the problem. Stay away from this mower.

Dead after 3 months
We purchased the unit in May and was dead by the middle of August. We followed the manufacture procedure to keep plugged in during the summer. I think the battery is dead.

Dangerous Dead Man Switch Failure
First some history - I used the older CMM1000 mower for almost 10 years and I was very happy with it. I am a strong proponent of electric cordless mowers as they have a small environmental impact compared with gas mowers, so when I read that the CMM1200 had a longer battery life I decided to replace the old mower.
Initially I was satisfied with the mower - it allowed me to mow more lawn on one charge than the older model and it cut as well as the older model. However, I was concerned about the dead man switch, which seemed flimsy.
Well, after using the mower for five months, the plastic pin on which the dead man switch handle pivots broke - luckily, when it broke the mower shut off. Had the switch jammed open it could have been very dangerous.
This failure is a significant safety hazard and I am surprised that the design of the switch was approved by Black and Decker quality control, and that this weakness was not detected and corrected during QC testing.
