I have an eight year old Black and Decker CM1000. It is a little underpowered and has more trouble cutting overgrown, thick grass than a gas powered mower would; same for tallish, wet grass. But for normal, weekly (or bi-weekly) mowing it cuts well and is no different than a gas mower, imo. My yard takes about 20 min to mow and I use the bag to collect clippings instead of mulching.
It is nice to not have to worry about having gas, old gas, changing the oil (and winterizing), and changing the spark plug. For a replacement mower, I have been looking at the Makita XML02Z almost entirely because it uses the same batteries as their hand tools.
