Black and Decker CM1936

Black and Decker not only makes kitchen and household products. The company also offers lawn mowers, most notably the Black and Decker CM1936. This push mower features innovative design that makes mowing a lawn easier and better for the environment.

Unlike other lawn mowers, the Black and Decker CM1936 does not operate on gasoline. People do not have to fill the mower's gas tank before starting it. Rather, this mower uses a battery to power its engine. The battery can be charged before a person uses the mower and then the battery can be removed afterwards to allow it to recharge for the next lawn mowing. Because it does not use fuel, it does not release carbon emissions and thus is friendlier to the environment. People with asthma and other respiratory conditions do not need to worry about being exposed to fuel fumes when using this machine. Further, Black and Decker indicates that a single battery charge allows the machine to mow up to 1/3 of an acre before the battery needs to be charged again.

Also unlike its commercial counterparts, the Black and Decker CM1936 does not require that a person pull repeatedly on a cord to start the mower. Instead the owner uses a key to turn the engine's switch and then pulls once on a cord to start the engine. Once started, the engine operates at a low decibel, rather than the loud rumble often associated with other mowers. The Black and Decker CM1936's noise level does not bother neighbors or scare pets the way other mowers might.

Adding to its environmentally friendly features, this mower operates as a mulcher and turns mowed grass into mulch to fertilize the person's lawn. If a person does not want yard clippings to be mulched by the mower, he or she can attach the machine's collection bag and dispose of the clippings after the mowing is completed.

When the owner is ready to store the mower, he or she can adjust the handle to the desired height to allow the machine to be stored in a shed or garage. The mower's handle can be adjusted to four different heights for the person's convenience. People can also be assured that their mower is covered in case of damage or mechanical malfunction. The Black and Decker CM1936 has a 2 year warranty from the date of purchase to cover damage or malfunctioning.
