How hard is it to manage the extension cord while mowing?

My yard is relatively small I have no problem managing the cord. I kind of have the system down - start closest to plug and work away so cord stays behind me.

I personally feel its easier to hold a small lenght of the wire that is closer the mower in hand along with the mower handle. This also ensure the wire did not lay in the mowing area and get cut by the mower blades. Note that you have to buy the extension cord for this mower.

It takes some getting use to. I put the cord over my right shoulder to keep it a little further away from the mower and handle. It does remind me of using a upright vacuum cleaner.

It is not hard to manage the cord. It reminds be of using an upright vacuum cleaner, and not any heavier!

I use a heavy duty 25ft. Cord and it has been pretty easy. I start on farthest end and work towards the entrance where my power plug is.

I like my Worx but I have a small yard to mow. I've never tried to stand it on end. I haven't heard too many good things about Black & Decker especially the batteries. That was one of the reasons I went with the Worx as it charges quickly and is easy to handle. If you don't like it you can always return it.

My husband moves it around each time he mows. I have moved it as well. It's a little cumbersome for me. I just try and pick up a side and scoot it.

No, it really requires a pressed effort to mow, the passive pulling won't accomplish much.

I bought mine almost 2 months ago and I really like it. I cut my grass every 3-5 days so I've had lots of opportunities to use it. One thing I've noticed is that grass tends to build up around the edge of the deck underneath. It's pretty simple to clean it off, especially right after mowing. Best part about cleaning the mower is that you can tip it and you don't have to worry about gas leaking out. It does take some practice with the cord... Mow the same way for 4 or 5 times then you'll learn how to manage the cord so you can go in different directions.

We have a large patch (20 by 30 feet) of zoysia grass in our front yard. (Probably not the smartest thing for Wisconsin seasons but when it turns green, it is like a carpet!) Anyway, this part of the lawn is quite thick, but our WORX ECO WG780 19-inch cordless electric lawn mower is on its second year of mowing it just fine. Works well on anything we've had it mow including tall weeds and even leaves in the fall!

Yes the cord is annoying at times but consider the alternative (gas mower) which you have to keep filling with gas and pulling the string to make it work. I usually start with the begging of the garden and continue all the way to the end. This way the cord is behind me and no trouble at all.

I used a 100 ft heavy cord..............but frankly the mower sucks. It's very light weight, doesn't cut well and unless you have very flat ground and grass that isn't thick you're wasting your money. I sent mine back within two days of trying it.

There is a learning curve. You start from a base closest to the cord and go farther away from the origin of the cord, rotating rows to and from that area. I like having the cord over my shoulder. I have used gas mowers and they are more powerful but far heavier. For a normal lawn, (I have a house on an acre of land with bahia) I would not trade the electric .

As long as your extension cord is .The cord on the saw is just long enough to attacch the extension cord.

Hi,You need to supply your own extension cord. It plugs in at the handle, with a little loop to help hold it in place. I used a velcro strip to hold it better, as it would sometimes come loose. Really, though, pay attention to complaints about the auto-feedling line. It's a pain. For what this thing costs, it could work better.

we got this because we have like 30 square feet to mow in our town house, so its a 5 min process. taking that into consideration, its not bad, its definitely not self propelled you have to push it and there is a little resistance. It also depends on how thick and high the grass is. I wouldn't recommend this for you if you have a large area to mow. The handle height is decent (the user is 6') i don't feel like i'm bent over using it. the best way to describe it would be pushing an empty shopping cart

yes it must be plugged in and you would use an extension cord. the length of the mower cord is what is shown.

I think that might be very difficult. I was surprised at how hard you need to push to keep it going forward. It is nothing like our gas mower. Also, everytime a stick gets in it, you have to stop, turn it over, and remove it. We bought it so our son with Autism could mow more safely and frankly I don't think he will be able to use it. I was exhausted after mowing a relatively small area.

It does not come with a cord. You need to provide your own extension cord suitable for use with the mower.

Yes the cord can be a hassle, and restricts you to the length of the cord. I just try to keep it where I have already cleared, and my cord is orange so it is easy to see. Sometimes I have to stop and move the cord, but this still beats shoveling by hand for sure, and no gas to mess with (not to mention remembering to drain the tank at the end of the season, and getting it tuned up) just plug it in and it works.

I belive in the instructions somewhere there is a statement about not using an extention cord. I would need to check. Since I also bought the cart, I just roll it over to the outdoor outlet. I could use the heaviest outdoor cord.
