Black & Decker LM175

made in 2005

My last gas mower was Sears. It finally gave up when I stopped trying to fix the carburetor. I threw away my gas cans (old plastic), already had two 50ft extenstion cords and paid $169 at K-Mart for a new mower. Haven't filled a gas can at the station since. Much safer.

My mower since 2006:
Besides needing regular sharpening (blades hard to find) the on/off switch is worn and requires excessive pressure to keep the motor running. At 6.5 Amp it cuts fine if I don't let the grass get too high. One 50ft cord serves both front and back yard. I only ran over it once.
