Black And Decker MM875
The Black and Decker MM875 lawn hog has a powerful electric motor and has the ability to bag your clippings or send them onto the lawn as mulch. A customized comfort handle can be adjusted to match your height and mowing style, and the large cutting mount can also be tailored to suit your favorite grass height.
You also have the added advantage of not having to deal with the shortcomings of gasoline powered lawn mowers. The quiet electric motor produces a top notch cut each and every time without the need to wake your neighbors on a Saturday morning.
Some of the other advantages of the MM875 and electric lawn mowers in general include;
- Your eardrums are saved and the maintenance is little to none. This model lawn hog comes with a 12-amp motor that has enough power to make a meal out of even deep, wet grass (not that cutting wet grass is recommended, but sometimes it has to be done).
- No more running out of gas in the middle of mowing your lawn and having to refill the mower from a dirty gas can. No changing spark plugs or replacing dirty filters either.
- A wide range of cutting heights (you can set the deck between 1.25 and 3.5 inches. Adjusting this is easy with just the push of a button required.
Set the length higher if you prefer to more on a frequent basis or lower if not. Mowing higher is also more beneficial to your lawn if it is exposed in the hot summer sun for periods of time.
- The specially formulated vibration dampening grip reduces harmful vibrations that can actually increase fatigue and compromise your own safety.
- As stated earlier, you have the option to bag your clippings (if you are a neat freak) or keep the bag off to add some natural fertilizer back onto your lawn.
A little tip to make sure that you don’t run over your power cord, chew it up, and spit it out;
For the sake of this example, say you want to mow the lawn in an east to west fashion moving north as you progress. Uncoil the power cord and place it 5 to 10 feet away to the south. This ensures that you will always be mowing away from the location of the cord. Don’t jerk on your turns and the cord will never run the risk of being eaten.
Additionally, you may also want to consider purchasing a few plastic/steel spikes and situate them at strategic points on your lawn perimeter. Place the cord appropriately behind the spikes as this will stop the cord from following you and getting in your path.
It takes experimentation but eventually you will get to know the perfect points to place them allowing you to mow nearly as effortlessly as with a standard gasoline powered mower.
The Black and Decker MM875 is more suited to a small or medium sized lawn and it has a range of 100 feet from the nearest power point. The 19-Inch Lawn Hog Electric Mower is covered by a full two-year warranty.
