Doh! You're right. It might not have any brushes! Depends on the exact type of motor inside. I believe it could be a "universal" motor as well.

It doesn't always spin up when I hit the switch. That's an AC motor thing right?
It is a corded mower. I'm fine with that! No batteries to maintain or replace!
