Hello Readers,
I thought I would keep my review of the Black and Decker LM175 Electric Mower because it’s late and it’s a very well made, inexpensive lawn mower. Quick and simple best describes this Electric Lawn Mower. Real quick, the Black and Decker LM175 Electric Lawn Mower has an 18” cutting path. That’s amazing considering I’ve seen cutting paths as small and pathetic as 14”. Really, that’s a lot more than I expected from an electric mower under $150. That’s even cheaper than most gas powered lawn mowers! Oh, it can also adjust cutting height and only weighs about 35 pounds.
In short, if you have a small lawn and very small budget the Black and Decker LM175 Electric Lawn Mower is definitely for you!

Black and Decker LM175 Electric Lawn Mower
Black and Decker CMM1200 Cordless Electric Lawn Mower Review
I have another excellent review for you tonight. It’s been a great summer so far and I’ve gotten a good corn yield this year! I’ll be testing some of that home grown corn tomorrow night at my first “barbecue slash get together”. I really wish I had a banner that said that, would make me so much cooler. Anyway, the Black and Decker CMM1200 Cordless Electric Lawn Mower is one of the more popular electric lawn mowers on Amazon.
I really don’t know why this electric lawn mower is as popular as it is. There are better options out there, pretty much any of the Neuton Electric Lawn Mowers offer more power and options, albeit for a higher price tag, but there are some cost effective Neuton Electric Lawn Mower models if you look and read my reviews.
However, there are some things I do like about the Black and Decker CMM1200 Electric Lawn Mower, for instance it can mow about a 1/3 acre worth of lawn on a single battery charge. That’s quite a bit and should be just enough staying power to get through anything you would be buying this lawn mower for. (For bigger lawns I definitely recommend a traditional gas mower. Yes, they take more maintenance, but you can’t beat the power they deliver!)
The Black and Decker CMM1200 does come up a little short in a few areas. First of all, the battery takes forever to charge. It will take as many as four hours to get a 70% charge and you’ll have to wait a whole extra day to cut your lawn if you want to charge the thing all the way. Well, maybe not if you start cutting your lawn at sunrise, but still 5 hours or more to charge a battery is simply way too much! Also, I don’t like the short cutting height range. I’m just the kind of guy that likes extra options just in case I need or want to do something different. Options are good!
Over all, this is a great lawn mower if you have a small lawn for a condo or an apartment or something, but it’s definitely not for people like me that have a huge backyard to mow. Simply put, great for small lawns, bad for large lawns.

There are plenty of people out there with small lawns and smaller people who cut lawns. If you’re one of those people I’m talking directly to you. The Black and Decker Lawn Hog M875 Lawn Mower is a lightweight electric lawnmower designed to cut small to medium sized lawns. Is the Black and Decker Lawn Hog a cut above the rest? Read the rest of this review to find out.
The Black and Decker Lawn Hog MM875 has a 19” cutting blade that should get be able to cut through most medium sized lawns in about 15 - 20 minutes. Medium size means about 250 square feet. One of the reasons the Lawn Hog MM875 can cut through things so fast is the incredibly light weight design. I can’t imagine going so fast with a gas powered push lawn mower!
Another reason why the Black and Decker Lawn Hog MM875 is so great is because it requires almost no assembly out of the box. Just about the only thing you’ll have to do is unravel an extension cord and attach the grass catcher, if you plan on using it. It’s nice to know this lawn mower can be out of the box and cutting in 5 minutes once it has been delivered or picked up from Home Depot.
If you happen to be one of those gardeners that have a precise idea of lawn and garden perfection, you’ll be happy to know the blade height can be adjusted from 1.25” to 3.5”. Blade height is crucial to the look and feel of your lawn. I personally prefer a thicker lawn and let my blade rest around 2.5”. I can’t tell you how thick or thin to cut your lawn, it depends on the type of grass and your personal preferences. But I can tell you I love it when a lawn mower manufacturer like Black and Decker provides their customers with the power to choose!
That’s about all I have to say. Just remember, the Black and Decker Lawn Hog Mower MM875 is a light to medium grade lawn mower. Buy for small to medium sized lawns and I’m certain you’ll enjoy using this lawn mower!

Black and Decker Alligator Lopper Chainsaw Review
Black and Decker Alligator Lopper Chainsaw Review
Black and Decker Alligator Lopper Chainsaw Rating: 5 stars out of 5 for an innovative design that cuts hassle from cutting
Price: $99.99

There are so many chainsaws out there to choose from. Poulan, Makita, Ryobi. Then there are gas chainsaws, electric chainsaws, corded chainsaws, and cordless chainsaws. It’s kind of hard to choose a chainsaw with all the clutter going around. That’s okay, that’s why I’m here and my site is here. When there is a bad chainsaw and lawn mower, rest assured I’ll help you avoid when. When there’s a good chain saw, you’ll be sure to know I’ll yell and scream about it! That’s why I’m bringing you a review of the Black and Decker Alligator Lopper Chainsaw.
One of the things I like about the free market is competition. Competition fosters innovation. In an attempt to attract more customers Black and Decker has continually sought to make their products better and cheaper. That’s where the Alligator Lopper Chainsaw comes in. The Alligator Lopper is a revolutionary chainsaw designed for cutting small logs and branches. It has a jaw-like frame encasing the chain and teeth making that can be opened and clasped with a scissor like handle. It makes gripping and cutting firewood or pruning branches incredibly easy!
If you’re worried about power, the Alligator Lopper comes with a powerful 4.5 amps motor that powers the chain through shrubs, brush, and logs. It’s also a very light 6.5 lbs. I’m not going to go so far as to say the Alligator Lopper is an alternative or replacement for a conventional chainsaw. It’s not. But if you have lots of cutting and trimming to do or firewood to cut, this is going to help you get the job done faster and easier. The Black and Decker Alligator Lopper chainsaw is a great compliment for a normal chainsaw.
The only warning I have is don’t expect to cut down a rain forest. The Black and Decker Lopper is designed for light to medium sized branches and wood.

Black and Decker Lawncare Center Set
Hello Fellow Gardeners,
I was surfing Amazon and found this lawn tool set and thought “that’s perfect for the beginning gardener!” Amazon likes to sell things in bulk. If you’ve ever been to a Sam’s Club or Costco you well know that buying a dozen dozen donuts is half as expensive as buying a dozen donuts. (Something your heart and stomach probably disagrees with.) In an effort to cut prices Amazon has put together a garden tool set that sells for very cheap. It includes a Black and Decker Hedger, Trimmer / Edger, and Blower. That’s just about all you need to keep your bushes hedged, your lawn cut clean, and clear your driveway of the clippings in no time flat.

Greetings!
It’s been a long weekend! I didn’t get around to everything I wanted to do on Saturday. I never do. But what else is new? I had to cut my yard work session short last weekend to make way for Smash Bros. Brawl. I wouldn’t be surprised if posting on this site becomes sporadic as my desire to blog is weaker than my desire to smash! One of the things I cut out of last Saturdays’ To Do list was weed wacking. I hate seeing my lawn creep on to my pavement, but sacrifices had to be made. I failed to trim my lawn because I couldn’t find the extension cord! Urrghhh! That’s why I’ve decided to inform my readers of a well designed weed wacker / weed eater / trimmer / edger that does not require power cords or gas. Here is my review of the Black and Decker Grasshog String Weed Eater Review.
Extension cords are messy. Just ask anyone who has ever owned an electric lawnmower. They get tangled, they’re never where you left ‘em, and when you do manage to find one and plug in your weed wacker they get in the way. That’s why the next weed eater I plan on buying is going to be a cordless electric weed eater. One of the best cordless electric weed wackers on the market today is the Black and Decker Grasshog. The Grasshog carries a price tag of about $90 and does a superb job justifying the price tag.
The Black & Decker Grasshog has earned one of my highest ratings for being one of the most powerful battery powered weed wackers on the market. It’s not going to cut down the Amazon, but it will definitely get through edging the front lawn and should cut down tall weeds without too much trouble.
If you’re worried about battery life, the Grasshog Trimmer comes with two rechargeable batteries. Each battery can last up to 2 hours, but a conservative estimate is 40 – 45 minutes depending on how heavy your weeds are. If two batteries aren’t enough for maintaining your lawn, I suggest you check out a gas powered or corded trimmer; if you have that much trimming to do, you’ll probably appreciate the extra power.
The Black and Decker Grasshog Trimmer / Edger comes with an automatic string feed system that automatically lengthens the string as you edge. That means no more bumping and stopping in the middle of your lawn to adjust the string. I’ve seen many companies try this out; they usually stop working after a few months which means the poor sap who bought it has to stop and open up the head every time the string gets short. That’s not the case with the Grasshog Edger; it works well and works for a very long time.
