The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the Black+Decker BEMW213 is essentially the bagging-focused sibling of the MM2000: same 13-amp motor and 20-inch deck, with a collection bag and a single-lever 6-setting height adjustment from 1.5 to 4 inches. A Home Depot verified-purchase reviewer described a sibling Black+Decker mower as quiet, light and well balanced, with a motor that is adequate if not the strongest, and r/homeowners commenters generally like corded Black+Decker units for being quiet, light and foldable for storage. The disagreement is worth surfacing: one r/homeowners commenter flatly would not recommend a Black+Decker mower, citing weak cutting and flimsy feel before switching to Ryobi, though that complaint references a battery-drain issue suggesting a cordless unit.

What reviewers liked

  • Includes a collection bag for tidy clippings out of the box
  • 13-amp motor and 20-inch deck handle routine medium lawns
  • Single-lever 6-position height adjustment from 1.5 to 4 inches
  • Reviewers praise it as quiet, light and foldable for storage

Where it falls short

  • At least one r/homeowners commenter would not recommend Black+Decker, citing cut quality and build
  • Shares the platform's tendency to overload in thick grass
  • Smaller review base (698) than the category leaders
  • No high-trust independent testing in the signals

Across the reviewers we read, the Black+Decker BEMW213 is essentially the bagging-focused sibling of the MM2000: same 13-amp motor and 20-inch deck, with a collection bag and a single-lever 6-setting height adjustment from 1.5 to 4 inches. A Home Depot verified-purchase reviewer described a sibling Black+Decker mower as quiet, light and well balanced, with a motor that is adequate if not the strongest, and r/homeowners commenters generally like corded Black+Decker units for being quiet, light and foldable for storage.

The disagreement is worth surfacing: one r/homeowners commenter flatly would not recommend a Black+Decker mower, citing weak cutting and flimsy feel before switching to Ryobi, though that complaint references a battery-drain issue suggesting a cordless unit. The same thick-grass overload pattern that dogs this platform appears in r/lawnmowers discussion. With a 4.0 average over 698 reviews and no high-trust lab test present, it's a reasonable pick specifically for buyers who want bagging out of the box, but the evidence base is thinner and the sentiment more mixed than the LawnMaster volume leaders.

I have the B&D one, and would not recommend it. The battery drains very fast, it does not cut well, and feels pretty flimsy. I got the Ryobi ...

The electric mower is very quiet compared to a gas guzzler and is also lighter. It is foldable, so it also saves space when storing it during summer or winter.
