Amazon.com Product Review
Bravo to Black & Decker for two great innovations on this electric mower. First, the flip-over handle! You get to the end of a pass, flip the handle and head back the other way in an instant. Next, users will especially appreciate the one-touch lever that raises and lowers all four wheels at once from 1 inch to 3-1/2 inches, saving the trouble of adjusting each wheel's height. It's about time. In addition, the electric 12-amp motor means hassle-free starting, no gas/oil mixes, no fumes, less noise, and no battery to charge. The cushioned handle adjusts for the user's height, another nice touch not available on most mowers. It mulches beautifully, but if you prefer, you can purchase a side bag. Electric mowers have their naysayers, but if you're in the market for one, you can't beat this.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Amazon.com Product Description
Light and easy to push, the Black & Decker MM675 Lawn Hog 18-inch 12 Amp Electric Mulching Mower with Flip-Handle is an ideal mower for yards where an electrical outlet is within 100 feet of the furthest area to be cut. It has a flip-over handle feature that allows the cord to remain conveniently out of the way and out of the cutting path. Other features include an 18-inch polymer deck that mulches, discharges, or side-bags with an optional bag (sold separately), a powerful 12 Amp electric motor, and a 1-lever height adjustment that adjusts all four wheels at once from 1 to 3-1/2 inches. With no gas, oil, or tune-ups to worry about, this mower is easy to maintain. With a lightweight design (only 46 pounds), this mower comes with a limited lifetime warranty on the deck and a limited 2-year warranty on everything else.

Good electric mower July 10, 2010
James N. Stephens (Ashland, OR)
This is the second electric, corded mower I have owned-the first was a metal-decked MTD. I actually liked the MTD alot and had it for many years until its final demise, despite the rough treatment I gave it. The MTD was not available and so I picked up the B & D. I've been happy with it. I really like the single lever wheel height adjustment and the mower is powerful enough-not as strong as a gas mower, certainly-but adequate if mowing is done every week or 10 days. I use the mower without a chute/bag in the mulching mode and it does a good job of mulching (no clippings visible). Another reviewer spoke of problems with the flip handle. I don't use the flip feature for going back and forth without turning the mower (I think it would be too time consuming) I just turn the mower conventionally and it works fine. There is no pushing problem that I have noticed due the flip feature.
I think the B & D MM675 is a good mower within the limits of a corded electric (cord moving being the main issue, power a lesser issue for me).
 Good but could be better June 13, 2010
R. Brazeau (Houston, Texas)
I have had the lawnmower for about two years now.
PROS:
1. Cuts well
2. Easy to use.
3. Flip handle
CONS:
1. The bag has started to fall apart and will not last much longer.
2. The bag at the side makes it difficult to pass through small openings.
3. The cord is always in the way. (design issue)
Perhaps this lawnmower is best for open area, no grade or obstructions. Just something about the design that is not right. I plan to keep it another year and purchase something else.
A Sturdy, Low Maintenance Mower for a Moderate Sized Yard (1 year of use) June 8, 2010
Kevin (Austin, TX)
A year of use has demonstrated the prowess of this lawn mower. Not only has it been able to cut the grass time and again with ease, the maintenance has been minimal. As with any corded mower, cord management is something to take into account and is part of ownership. Other write-ups review tactics - here I'll focus on the benefits and drawbacks of ownership.
Benefits:
* Light weight
* Ease of starting
* Single handle height adjustment
* Ease of blade removal
* Flip over handle (aids in cord management)
* Noise level (quiet)
* Low energy consumption (relative to gas mowers)
Drawbacks:
* Cord management
* Width of the mower
* Handle height
Overall, I give this mower 4 stars with the caveat being its width and the handle height. Eighteen inches is a bit narrow. The engineers may argue that 18" is all the motor could handle. While they are probably correct, I keep the blade very sharp which aids in the mower's ability to make its way through thick and/or deep grass. The other issue, handle height, refers to the height of the handle when I stand behind it. The handle falls at my waist (I'm 6'1") and it if were a bit higher, pushing and control would be easier.
The benefits far outweight the drawbacks. The weight (light) makes pushing easy. The no-brainer starting (just pull the handle) takes the frustration out of priming and tuning a gas engine. The height adjustment is very user friendly (1 lever and all 4 wheels rise and fall). The flip over handle makes for easier cord management. The mower is quiet (relative to a gas mower). The low energy consumption and lack of gas/oil makes for simple maintenance and removes gas storage as part of the equation.
The only appreciable maintenance is to sharpen the blade every 4-6 uses. A quick turn of a ¾" while holding the blade still with vice-grips twists the blade off so I can remove nicks with the Dremel and hone a fine edge with a circular diamond file.
If you decide to purchase / use this mower, I'd recommend purchasing a quality outdoor extension cord. Don't skimp here because if the mower can't pull the power through the cord (too much resistance), it won't run strong. I'd recommend at minimum of 12 gauge in a bright color (easier to spot & not run over) and no more than 100 feet. See the link below for a great cord.

Excellent mower but could be easier to push May 23, 2010
FanBuyer (Arlington Heights, IL USA)
We've had two Black and Decker electric mowers. The first was the MM875 sold under the Sears badge. It was a great mower, but it was damaged by hitting roots. We replaced it with the MM675 because it had the flip handle option. It seems to be more difficult to push then the MM875. I read the review by one gentleman who said that the location of the handle in the middle of the mower body made the mower more difficult to push. That makes sense. We never noticed that the MM875 was hard to push. This model (M675) is difficult to push on our lawn which is thick and has an uneven subsurface. However, the M675 does a great job. We recently bought a Honda gas mower because it was self propelled. Although the Honda was powerful and self-propelled, it left a trail of clippings. We just mowed the lawn with the Black and Decker M675, and the M675 did a better job than the Honda! But, since we have a large yard (1/3rd acre) we'll probably be using the Honda more often. Convenience shouldn't be a citizen's only concern, and I hope that I didn't steer anyone away from the Black and Decker line. It's a great mower that is easier on the environment than a gas mower. We're impressed with it and we'll try to use it as often as we can to minimize our impact on the environment. Please consider an electric mower if at all possible.

very easy to assemble - works well
flip over handle is a good feature. The adjustable cutting height is also very easy to use.
