LawnMaster CLMF4817E 48V MAX Brushless Mower with 2X24V MAX 4.0Ah Battery and a Dual Charger

This review is for the corded ME12118X mower. I was quite please when I opened the box and saw that *minimal* assembly was needed. Just screw the handle to the appropriate height and you are off to the races. I have a 1/2 acre lot and this handles the grass wonderfully. It runs quietly and cuts a reasonably wide path. It is easily adjusted to different heights. I prefer a corded electric for longevity. To me the problem with batteries is that your job is limited by the charge it can hold. But the real problem is what happens when the battery no longer hold a charge and the type is no longer available. That renders the entire device garbage. A corded mover like this beats cordless every day. It has the power to blast through thick grass and just keeps going. It's lightweight and can be used as a mulcher or a side discharge. For the price it is an incredible value. I'm very happy with it

This mower is tiny. The blade is only 12" and sharpening it and keeping it balanced is a bit of a challenge, but overall, a very good product. It's fun to use, light weight, and the narrow box fits nicely between my raised garden beds. The grass catcher is easy to remove and put back on and it comes with two batteries. I need both batteries to mow the lawn and I don't have a large lawn, but even with all the rain, this one keeps up. I was impressed with it. Also, I am not a "lawn person" so this mower is simple to use and I like using it. Very little assembly too. Noise and vibration is very minimal.

I read all the reviews for this "new" version ME1218X.01 and the "old" version of ME1218X. By the way, the "old" and "new" versions appear to be identical, with no serious technical improvements made to the "new" version. Despite worrying about all the bad reviews between the two, I chose this "new" version cause it was the lowest cost, corded lawn mower, that had side discharge. In addition, it is one of the very few corded lawn mowers that had that function. And it was part of a very small group of corded mowers that could cut as high as 4 inches. When I got the mower, I noticed all these scuff marks on it (perhaps used when I ordered for new). And the back wheel next to the height adjuster was not able to move fully, except for maybe a couple of inches back and forth. The height adjuster was touching the wheel, so it blocked the wheel from fully turning. If the company legitimately did quality control, by testing every mower made, they would have easily seen that wheel could not move cause of no spacing between the wheel and the height adjuster. Lastly, this did not look like a durable mower. You can start with the wheels, which are made of a very thin plastic. I could see any of the wheels potentially cracking or falling off over time. It would have been better had they used rubber wheels. Despite one wheel not moving and the other three wheels moving ok on my indoor flooring, they would not move as smoothly if used outside, especially if your lawn is not completely flat. This mower would be a big no on any incline/slope because of the thin wheels and the bulkiness/heaviness of the mower. Lastly, the height adjuster was very stiff to move. If you have any grip issues, this would be a mower to not consider buying. Because the stuck wheel was not easily detected by the company, it makes we wonder how much else they missed during inspection (if they truly had an inspection). I trust the reviews about the motor dying out or plastic melting around the motor, based on the poor impression I got from the mower so far. I did see one of multiple, identical videos on YouTube that showed how grass clippings somehow slip into the motor area. These grass clippings help block the vents in the motor casing and so the motor becomes hotter than it should. This hotness can lead to melting the surrounding plastic. Because this was the cheapest mower that cut up to 4 inches, was under 40 pounds and has side discharge, I thought before buying that ok I will put up with the inconvenience of removing grass from the motor, even middle of mowing. But just unboxing this mower indoors made me realize I would have worry every time out when this will die out. And why risk losing $140 on something that has a high risk if failing, even if you treat the mower gently. $140 is a lot of money even if it on the "cheaper" side of corded mowers. So unfortunately almost every mower here is bagging and mulching only, if you want a mower that is not heavy (pounds around mid 30s or less). And if you want all three with all three functions (bagging, mulching and side discharge) or just side discharge with mulching, the weight will be about 46 pounds or higher. I could not find a mower that did both bagging and side discharge. And if you have slopes /inclines / hills like me, heavy mowers will do some long term damage to your back and knees over time. And this mower felt heavier than I thought beforehand, despite having no bagging function. Altogether I could not trust that this mower could last long term. So I returned it. It was a waste of money. If I find a mower that seems good, I will try and update that on here.

This lawnmower for-sure functions. It mows. It also is like the cheapest battery powered mower you can buy on amazon. So I am glad to have it and that it arrived quickly and worked well. However, I want to note that this is for very occasional mowing and not really suitable for any sort of normal size yard where you are going to mow all the time. It *seems* like a toy mower. It is VERY cheaply made and clearly is not made to last a long time. Which is reasonable given its cost. So I gave it 4 stars since it is what it says it is, but it is so cheap-seeming and I am so skeptical of it working over the long term, I cannot give it five stars as if it is a good mower. It is totally workable for occasional mowing or a VERY small yard.

Thank God for this lawnmaster . Very very very easy to set up and use. Performed at ease and easy to maneuver. Noise level is a medium. Not too bad. The blade is very strong and crunched everything even mulch. It scares me though it might breaks. Gas free and uses battery. The battery life last very long. Since I purchased it I used it twice and charged it once.

So far so good. I usually don't like to leave product reviews for a while after using the product. I can't really see what could go wrong. I'll give you the meat and potatoes right away. This mower is cheap, light weight, simple to use right out the box, and handy. If you got electricity you mowing. No dying battery worries. No gas needed. No spark plug changes, etc etc. Now you will have to be the type of person who can think through cord placement. Think of elders, MS / Multiple Sclerosis individuals, Rheumatoid arthritis, and / or basically anyone who wants to mow their grass on their own, but struggles with strength or muscle strength fluctuations, etc. The only small caveat I would mention is your grip. If your grip is off and on, I'd get a weightlifting strap to wrap around the handle to ensure you can keep the lever engaged. Or maybe I just have small hands. The lever to move up and down is pretty simple. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A CHEAP MOWER SO IT WILL FEEL AND LOOK LIKE A TOY! But it is mighty. Noisy...lol. But when I tell you it cuts grass like no other. My backyard grass was high and grows like thats its full time job. You can literally sit out there and watch it grow if you wanted. lol I could literally mow it every 4 days and it would like that. The mower did what most do. I've had gas as well as the reason why I got this mower was as a backup to the Dewalt Battery mower I have. Ugh Dewalt gets on my nerves. Anyhoo its more expensive and in the shop right now. I wanted this as a backup so if all else fails as long as I got electricity I'm mowing. It bogs down like any mower would in high grass but tip back on those back wheels just a smidge and it comes back to life...never dies. At this price even if it only lasts one season, I've got my money's worth. I got the 2 year warranty. But I really can't see what could go wrong. I believe in fresh air and some physical activity for my MS. The fact that I have to stop and work with the cord is a plus. It forces me to stop and rest more. I'm not exhausted by the heavy mower. I call it my tonka toy lol

It's lightweight (all plastic) and has wide wheels, so it glides over the grass. Good for small yards. Very easy to pick up and handle. I have two different Bermuda grasses for the front yard vs. the backyard. The front yard is less dense, and it cuts fine. The backyard is denser. It struggled in a taller area, but managed to cut. It's a little underpowered for my preference. I had it at 4 stars, but after using it, the grass catcher isn't sealed enough. It blows the cut grass in your face. Hopefully you can see the iron vidoe.

My first day deboxing, fitting handles, and charging batteries. This is my first E-Mower. If you are using the bagger, remember to remove the plastic cover in the deck; otherwise, you'll be mulching, and no grass clippings will collect in the bag. Read the guide its very detailed except for the mulch cover, which was never mentioned. It took two hours to charge both batteries. I got about 55 minutes of battery use out of my 17-inch LawnMaster. It ran very well as it was brand new. Also, I had some lawn left over, so I'm going to buy 2 more batteries (Amazon, $100) to finish the lawn next time. You may not need extra batteries. Mow first to find out. You may only need one extra battery ($50), not two. All in all, a good product. I noticed other E Mowers in this size and price range, but they only have 40 V combined batteries, not the 48 V combined batteries this LawnMaster has. I suggest LawnMaster come out with even more powerful batteries. I recommend this mower.

Solo la hebisado 1 vez es muy practica, el deposito d epasto es pequeño hay que vaciar varias veces pero me ahorro mucho tiempo

Great little machine for the price...no problems with it.

Hasta el momento ha funcionado muy bien, ya llevo mas de 20 horas usandola, segando 2 areas de 20 x 40, con cesped de tamaño mediano, se opera muy bien, es bastante ligero para maniobrar, no se batalla nada, lo único que no me gusta mucho es la palanca de arranque, se ve muy frágil el plástico, a ver cuanto dura.

Easy to put together, well built. Does what I expected and needed. Happy with this purchase.

Nice and light and powerful
