But if you mow weekly and you have thick, well maintained lawn, I suggest paying more for MM875. If your lawn is about 5000sq ft, and you mow about twice a month, 4 months a year, this mower should be fine. One to use, the other one for part replacements.
The motor is not well designed and its quality is low. As always, replacement parts are ridiculously overpriced. I bought this mower 5 years ago, and it lasted only 3 years.
If you decide to buy this mower, and plan to use it for more than a couple years, I suggest buying 2 of them. It's more powerful and includes a bag, which costs additional $30-$40 for the LM175 model. One of the thin wire snapped off, and it's not worth fixing.
Buying a new motor costs more than buying a new mower.
But, I have a small lot, 120x75. It is quieter than a gas mower, but still makes some noise. It gets the job done. I purchased the bag for it, also.
Have used it several times. A large yard may present more of a challenge. The cord is not that big a hassle. Very light, so it is easy to push.
The bag works fine, but could be a little bigger. But, I like it. Nice not to have to deal with gas and pull starting. Cuts the grass well.
might need to go back over spots to catch any missed grass. plus, it's quieter, cleaner, and just as powerful as a gas mower in the same price range (read: cheap).It cuts through overgrown deep grass without too much fuss. but not a big deal.I've had mine for two summers and it's still working fantastic. Wow.I was skeptical that an electric mower for $100 would be able to handle my lawn.Boy was I wrong.What a great little mower. I'm saving plenty of money over using a gasoline powered mower.
The mower itself held up its end, though. I had to empty the bag perhaps a dozen times doing my back yard. A rake would be easier unless the yard is small and/or the leaves are few. I bought this mower in early fall after my grass quit growing so it really hasn't been tested fully. I'm happy with it. Today I experimented using it as a leaf vacuum with marginal success. I did run it as soon as I got it and it seemed to work fine. It does a good job of picking up the leaves but the limiting factor is the capacity of the bag which may be fine for grass but not for a yard-full of leaves.
Its a nice idea, electric power.I got this and the extra side bag to suck up the trimmings.Problem is the side bag gets knocked off all the time.Also, this thing has no power.I have to lift it up, let it get speed, and drop it on the grass when its thick.Even then it sometimes stops.Sharpening the blades helps, but it needs about double the power.It might work on think fescue or somethign, but the burmuda stops it cold.
