Tools and Hardware Reviews of Yard Machines 18A-V17-800 19-Inch 12 Amp Electric Powered Mulch/Bag Lawn MowerCustomer Review: Disappointment. Summary: 2 Stars
I wish I could agree with the other reviewer. After using the machine for about three times it did hit a rock. My fault, agreed, but not uncommon to happpen. So one of the first parts to break did indeed need replacement. About 20 dollars; no big deal you'd say. Were it not that in our part of the state (CA) no shop services electric lawn mowers (I wish someone had told me that before). So I ordered the part myself as it seems easy to replace. Now I've been waiting for more than three months because the manufacturer doesn't have this part available (REMEMBER: It's the part that would break down before anything else on this machine!). And whenever you want to speak to someone in customer service over at MTD you'd better have a lot of patience because it can take hours (IF you manage to get hold of someone).
I envy the other reviewer's satisfaction, but for us buying this machine has been a mistake. Of course it has to be better than B&D, for that's one of the lousiest brands on the planet. Still, you buy a mower because you need to use it, not for storing in the garage because the manufacturer won't help you solve a simple problem. I'd avoid MTD products.
Description of Yard Machines 18A-V17-800 19-Inch 12 Amp Electric Powered Mulch/Bag Lawn MowerThis quiet, lightweight, and efficient electric mower/mulcher is ideal for anyone who hates the high maintenance, difficult pull starts, and air and noise pollution associated with heavy gas machines. A 1500-watt, 12-amp motor provides ample power for small- to medium-sized yards, while large wheels (7-inch in front and 8-inch in back) make pushing a breeze. The fully baffled, side-discharge cutting deck is made from steel for strength and durability. A deep dome produces fine clippings that decay quickly to give your lawn a shot of organic fertilizer without chemicals or extra work on your part. Alternately, a 2.3-bushel rear bag made from nylon can be used to capture clippings for a tidier-looking lawn. In the past, using an electric mower meant dealing with awkward extension cords--even operating the unit one-handed while the other hand moves the cord around. This mower solves the problem with a handy cordkeeper. Other convenient features include a nine-position, fingertip-height adjuster that lets you choose any cutting height between one and 3-1/2 inches--so you can accommodate time of year, rainfall, and changing lawn conditions. The YardMachines V17 weighs 60 pounds and is covered by a 2-year, limited warranty. --Mary Park
