BLACK+DECKER Gas Powered Lawn Mower, 21-inch, 2-in-1 Mulching Push Mower, 140cc OHV Engine

The BLACK+DECKER 21-inch gas powered lawn mower is a push mower designed for homeowners who need a straightforward tool to maintain their yard. Powered by a 140cc OHV engine equipped with a primer and recoil start, it handles routine grass cutting across your property.

Its 21-inch cutting deck helps reduce mowing time by cutting a wider path on each pass. The deck offers 2-in-1 functionality, allowing you to alternate between mulching clippings back into your lawn or using the side discharge chute during growth heavy periods.

For mobility across varied yards, the mower is built with 7-inch front and 8-inch rear wheels featuring bar treading to move through hard ground or loose soil. Cutting height is adjusted using a dual lever system with 6 different height settings. Trade-offs to keep in mind are that this model uses a manual recoil start cord rather than an electric start, and the listing includes mulching and side discharge modes without mentioning a grass collection bagger.

Verdict: This BLACK+DECKER push mower is a practical choice for homeowners seeking a standard gas engine mower with mulching and side discharge modes. Its 21-inch deck and treaded wheels fit medium or larger yards with uneven ground.
