It has a button on the side of the orange handle but when we press it it doesn't turn. We tried pressing down both of the handles on each side and the button as well and it still wouldn't switch on. Anybody have one of these and knows how it works, or what could be wrong with it?! Thanks.
Have you tried lifting the orange handle and pressing the button at the same time?
I don't have a B & D but my new lawnmower and the old one both started this way.

Most 19" B & D blades indicate that they are compatible with MM850. Is this the correct blade for my mower, also? Thanks!

I'm thinking of buying a battery powered lawn mower, either Newton or (I believe) Black and Decker. They are pricey though, and before I throw away $400 I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these. Do they work as well as regular mowers? Do the batteries last as long as they say they do? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
I have a 24v Yardworks one and am very happy with it. I love the quiet operation, and the fact that if I want to stop mowing for a few minutes to clear away branches or dog toys, it stops as soon as I take my hand off it. No monster roaring away in the background, and no yanking to re-start. No having to remember to fill up a gas can, either. I like the fact that I can leave it out in the carport, without battery, knowing that it's pretty much worthless without the battery so isn't likely to be stolen. They have limitations, obviously. They aren't as flat-out powerful as a gas one. You get so much per charge and that's it until you recharge unless you get a spare battery and they're expensive. Recharge from flat seems to take 6-8 hours. But mine will go through small branches and tough weeds pretty easily. I have about 150 x 100 worth of lawn and can cut that on one charge unless it's a few inches long or a bit wet. Then I might get 3/4 of it done on one charge. Going into a 3rd season with it now and haven't noticed any loss of power.
It's time for me to cut the grass and before winter, I took out my battery. I'm unsure on how to connect it back. I can read where the battery has the (+) positive & (-) negative, but the cords confuse me. I have one red cord and one green cord. I'm not sure which one goes on the positive and which one goes on the negative.
Green is Negative
Red is Positive.
If you get the wiring wrong the mower will just spin in reverse. :)
I love my CMM1200 Cordless mower. Here is a review I wrote on it!
http://www.epinions.com/review/Black_Dec ker_19_In_24_Volt_Cordless_Mulching_Mowe r/content_445899312772
Black and Decker Electric Lawn Mower | Cordless Electric Mower
The mower uses 24-volt sealed lead acid battery that can cut up to 1/3 of an acre or an area of about 10,000 square feet on one full battery charge. In 4 hours the battery can recharge up to 70% and to 100% in 16 hours. The use of the battery instead of gas makes this mower easy on the environment because it doesn't produce any dirty fumes.
Backed by a lifetime warranty the mower deck is made of a durable polymer that is easy to clean and won't ever rust. It offers a cutting width of 19 inches with a mowing height from 1.5 to 3.5 inches. There is a height adjustment lever that allows you to adjust all four wheels with one easy movement of the lever. The mower also offers you the choice of a mulching plate which will lay the cuttings back on your lawn as a chemical free fertilizer or you can use the rear bag to collect the clippings. The Black and Decker CMM1200 cordless mulching lawn mower is one of the first of its kind to offer a charger that meets the Energy Star approval. It meet strict energy efficient guidelines by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. This helps both the environment and helps you save money on utilities.

, Right? Anyway, nevermind. This is an ad uncoiling column (tell that to the bisected snake!). So. The product benefit here is: B&D lawnmowers cut like a motherfucker. And the main target audience is, apparently and very questionably, sadistic animal killers. Is it a cultural phenomenon that the Buddhist Thais like to take out hidden aggression by angrily mowing grass? Now these ads would be perfect for large swaths of America, where many people would kill for the perfect lawn. I will say one positive thing about this campaign: I love the art directon—wonderful respect for the white space, if not amphibians and reptiles. Jump (not you froggy!) for a third ad featuring a lizard that’s been reduced to a ‘zard. (images via: BestAdsOnTV )
