MEB1216K Electric Lawn Mower 16-Inch 12AMP

New Update... Batteries. Mower has worked just fine - up until the Batteries have stopped holding a good charge. Looks like I'll have to invest in two more batteries to finish out the summer with this mower. The battery life dropped from between 1-2 hours to about 5 minutes. Will continue to update as can..... I've used the mower about a continuous 14 months which comes to about $15 / month. My gas lawn tractor sucks that up in one mowing with the price of gas the way it is, so? We'll see how long new batteries last. Happy mowing. Update on this mower - Well, I've had this mower about 15 months now. I've carted it locally cutting around buildings, shrubs, trees, edging sidewalks and driveways and am still tickled to death with it. It has not had one stumble. The batteries charge just fine... the heavy cloth bag/grass-catcher still works just fine... the flip door where the grass-catcher goes has warped a little (plastic) but that does not interfere with the operation of the mower or the grass-catcher. I've cut through some very heavy foliage - no issue. The "mulch as you go" idea hit me while cutting around the shrubs.... fill the bag - stop - dump the clippings around the shrubs - reseat the bag - continue cutting - repeat. If and/or when this mower bites the dust, I will be very sad because it has served well. Highly recommend this product, and I hope whoever purchases one has the same luck I have had. I can one-hand it into the back of the truck (tailgate down), quick strap it to prevent rolling and move on to the next site (I'm getting close to 80, btw). The batteries will last about an hour or so of continuous mowing if grass is heavy (not wet heavy). Takes a little shy of two hours to fully charge. Would purchase again - no problem. I get nothing for writing this nor expect to do so. I take care of my tools, do not abuse them. This is my experience with this product and happy to support. Wasn't sure what to expect with this mower, but I needed something that I could use around shrubs, borders, and building/s other than a weed eater which is trim no. 2. I got the 16" which goes between the shrubs easily. The cut is easily adjustable from low to high ( a plus ). Follow the wire coming out of the main body of the machine, up the handle and into a little black box and there's a yellow button. Push it in, hold and depress the yellow safety bar - release the button while still depressing the safety bar. There's a slight pause and the blade starts to turn. Works like most every other mower that has a safety bar. This mower also has an automatic 2nd gear for heavy grass, a surprise, and the cut is smooth. I let the grass get too heavy in several places but this little dude tackled it with ease - Again, surprise! Total cut time for my first use - approx... 30-40 mins, and still had battery life. I charged the batteries right out of the box for about a long as it took me to read the instructions and assemble the handle, which is the ONLY real assembly needed. The battery box is easy to access on the top of the body - Caution: There is a Key attached to a string in the battery box that needs to be plugged in (kind of like a table saw safety key) which allows the machine to turn-on. It's zero trouble to assemble if you have any experience with putting things together. It's logical the way it's built. It has a mulch-plug in the rear discharge (where the grass exits) which needs to be removed (just wiggle and lift up & out) before adding the grass catcher (easily attached and removed and already assembled). Easy to dump the grass out because it's fairly small ( a plus, in my opinion because it doesn't get heavy ). This is not a half-acre+ use machine ( again, my opinion ), but it's terrific for a small area or trim use before/after the yard tractor does the heavy lifting. This are my initial thoughts concerning this product because I've only used it once. I recharged the batteries after I completed doing the trimming - probably a 200' X 5' run ... which has a ditch bank, lots of shrubs with borders but not too bumpy. I didn't stop because the battery went down, I stopped because it was almost dark and the skeeters were biting. There's about another 250' X 5' to go. I started with the blade in the second highest position and lowered as I got more used to the machine. Easy to push forward or pull backwards ( cuts either way ). Gotta say - I was Surprised at how easy this machine is to use. It seems that with ordinary care it should last a while. Suits my purpose just fine. I'll update this rating if things go South. The price was under $200 and I've got a weed eater that cost more and is not as easy to use. BTW - I'm closer to 80 than 70. Happy cutting!

So it was time for a new mower as my 20 year old gas mower stopped running while I was cutting the grass a few weeks ago. Thought the carbs just needed to be cleaned but still won't start after cleaning and just so tired of the work it takes to keep it running. Almost threw out my back and shoulder pulling the string a few dozen (seems like hundreds) of times. Could probably get it running again if I had to but I'm over it. I was originally going to get a greenworks but the delivery time was 2 weeks and I couldn't wait that long. The ETA for this one was 1 week so this is the one I ordered. To my pleasant surprise it arrived 2 days after ordering (thanks amazon and lawnmaster!). Assembly consists of attaching the handle, which took all of 5 mins if that. (I think the mower's made in china and sometimes the manuals for stuff made there aren't written in the best English, but this one was written in perfect english). Charged the batteries and cut the grass the next day. The fact that it came with 2 batteries was the biggest deal maker for me. Didn't want to have a single battery die in the middle of cutting. And bonus, it comes with a dual charger so you can charge both at the same time. How does it work? Great. Push the button to start, relatively quiet, height adjustment is a breeze, light, easy to maneuver, no pull string, air filter, spark plug, gas, fumes, oil to worry about, ever. It also comes with a mulcher that you can use instead of the bag if that's your thing. I use the bag which isn't huge, which to me is a good thing as it makes it easy to remove and empty. To clean I just used the leaf blower to blow all the loose grass off and it's so light and easy to tip over compared to my gas mower, just tip it over (and don't have to worry about gas spilling) and blow underneath it. Done. I don't have a ton of space in my garage (old mower was kept outside), but this one (with the handle moved up to its highest position) fits right in to the little space I have in there. Front and back I have give or take about 800 sq feet of lawn and when I was done still had plenty of battery left. I did try to cut as fast as I could to make sure I didn't run out of battery before I was done but now I know that's not necessary for me. I don't know if this is the best electric mower out there but I have no complaints about this one. And it was one of the less expensive ones I looked at. I've seen some reviews saying the batteries were a little tough to get into the mower (or was that for a different brand?) but I had absolutely no issues. They clicked right in and removed easily. Now it's just a matter of seeing how it will hold up after time but after 1 mow I'm happy as can be. And I'm all electric now (blower, weed eater and now mower) so if you're environmentally conscious like me that's a bonus. PS. Glad I read this in the manual but it says to remove the batteries from the charger after they're charged to prolong their life. Some chargers have an auto shut off so it doesn't matter if you leave the batteries in or not, so be aware if you get this one. No problem recommending this one at all, in fact I highly do.

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.

Bought this lawnmower end of March this year 2026. Today was my 3rd time using it because I work ALOT and just dnt be having the time nor energy to mow my own lawn so most of the time I pay the guy in the neighborhood tht mows everyone else's lawn to do it. But today I had some time so I got up this morning to mow the lawn and it kept cutting off on me and smoking. I did some research and it said tht it cld possibly be overheating and to let sit for 30-60 minutes. I let it sit for over 6 hours and attempted to do it again once the sun went down and it came on for a good 10 seconds and turned off and wldnt come back on. I disassembled the entire lawnmower to check for rocks, grass, etc and there was nothing but a bag of some type of sand wrapped up in bubble wrap tht I never even knew was under there (they should say in instructions tht the bag is under there and to remove it b4 use) i removed the bag and reassembled the mower back together and attempted to mow my lawn again and it came on but the motor was very weak and it turned right back off. Mind u the other 2 times I used it, it worked just fine, motor was good, cut pretty good(i have a small lawn) no issues at all. Very disappointed because Ive barely gotten any use out of it smh.

Update 8-22-26 the lawnmower still works awesome. I do not know if I am supposed to be doing maintenance on it, but I have not been. I have included a video and this is me pushing it and mowing with one hand because I am videoing it with the other hand. Update 7-10-25 I still love this lawn mower! Still works perfectly! I’ve had two people borrow it and they were amazed that such a light mower with a battery performed as good as their (now broken) gas heavy duty lawn mower. I was skeptical about buying the lawnmower, because the price was cheap but honestly, I needed a lawnmower, super quick and it could be here the next day and I figured if it sucked, I could just return it. My heavy gas lawnmower broke and I had a jungle to mow. It was very easy to put together. It does take a while for the battery to charge. It went through my very high grass easily. I did have to stop and charge the battery halfway through but considering how tall the grass was that wasn’t a problem. I mow the lawn weekly and I haven’t had any problems with the lawnmower. You can easily push it with one hand. I have a steep hill that is bumpy in my backyard and it is so easy to use this lightweight lawnmower on it! My old gas one mower was so heavy. I would have to take a couple of breaks mowing before I could do the whole hill… now I can run right through it because the lawnmower is so lightweight. The mower bag easily fits into a paper leaf bag so when you are dumping the grass, it just slides into the leaf bag. I like not having to mess with leaf bag to get the grass into it. It mows right through little twigs. It’s a great lawnmower. It makes nice diagonal lines in my grass. It easily goes around trees and mulching. If you have a huge lawn or your a couch potato… you might want to get a second battery set. It’s a great lawnmower … lightweight… easy to move around… not noisy

Almost never write reviews, but this thing really changed the lawn mowing game for me! It used to feel like such a big and exhausting chore, but with this lawnmower it’s not any worse than vacuuming really. Light weight, easy start, easy to adjust, can be used with or without bag, and the batteries last long enough for all 3 of my lawns!

Great little tool for smaller yards. Quite a bit smaller swath than I've been used to but more than adequate for my 9000 SQ FT lot. It seems to take about as long to mow my yard as it always has with my old 22" wide gas-powered mower. In fact, due to the smaller size and considerably lighter weight it seems to take less effort, especially in and around flower beds and raised-bed planters. Seems to be well made - at first the wheels seemed kind of chintzy but given the weight they'll probably do. Grass catcher is simple to attach and fits well without gaps and leaks. Assembly was adequately documented and went very well. No missing parts and no special tools nor skills needed. So far, I am happy. Time will tell.

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.

Super light. Cuts great. Works for me , exactly what I needed for the job.

Great value for product!! I found it easy to assemble and worked well!

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

Nice and light and powerful

Cuts the grass.
