Fortunately, the electric models have been upgraded, with more power and better cutting. [b]Electric[/b] Consumer-search.com reports that Black & Decker’s corded model, MM 875 ($230), is “maintenance-free” and has a one-lever height adjustment that’s easy to maneuver...Other corded models that fared well are the Craftsmen 37051 ($220), and the Homelite UT13120 ($200). [b]Cord-Free[/b] Consumer Digest rates the Neuton Cordless Mower ($400) higher than Black & Decker, mostly due to its lighter 48-pound weight, its whisper-like hum and its “reel” mower, which cuts the grass at a diagonal angle that’s considered healthier for the grass.
