I bought this mower on the recommendation of a friend. Took it out of the box, added the oil that came with it, & filled the tank with gas. My daughters and I mowed an overgrown 1/4 acre with no problem at all. Pushed the primer 3x and pulled the cord once. It started with no problem. Our yard is bumpy and the large wheels went over with ease. My eight year old was even able to use the mower. (With me along for the ride of course) Afterwards I squirted it with the hose to clean it and was worried because it wouldn't start. I let it dry for 1/2 an hour and it started up again fine. I would recommend this mower to single women with yards and no men to mow it.

I had this mower for about 2 months when a piece underneath broke off and hit the blade. I also thought the 5.5 hp didn't cut really well and was difficult to start at times. It would also just quit on me with a quarter tank of gas left. I would have to put more gas in before it would start back up. I returned to the store and upgraded to the 6.75 hp model. I was also disappointed with the customer service at the store. It took over an hour to make an return and new purchase. Had the 6.75 hp model not been on sale, I would have went to another store.

mowing the lawnWanted a very basic mower, but one that would start easily. The reviews on this one were mixed, and I started with the low wheel model and a service plan. They delivered the high wheel model, so I paid the difference but dropped the service plan. I have had it since March 2009, so have used it for just one season, It has had medium, but not hard use. Even with recommended gas, stabilizer, oil and maintenance, it has been hard to start late in the season. The deck has started to rust underneath (used Sears recommended coating product which does help keep the grass from sticking). Now I am wishing that I had sprung for the service plan, because I anticipate problems next season.
I have had mine for 2 years now and it still works like it is brand new. It is an outstanding mower.
Purchased this lawnmower on 12 May and returned it dead on July 23rd. Cut 1/2 Acre lawn about weekly so after approximately 8 uses, it died. I have never had an engine go bad on a lawnmower in 40 years of cutting lawns. This was a pretty little mower but it would fill up the bag in 1 lap around the yard and start lugging and banging on the first usage. Puffs of smoke billowed out after stopping and starting it for bag change. My grass is plush but this thing had no durability. Got the next higher model from Sears and while it sounds stronger, only time will tell. I have been cutting this lawn with a battery powered lawnmower for 3 years with no problem until it just rattled to pieces last year. I don't think this mower deserves the Craftsman name.
after reviewing lawnmowers I was told craftsman were a good make, and read mostly favorable reviews for this lawnmower, it seemed like the right fit (1/4 acre with a few hills) the lawnmower didn't start right away it took about 5-6 pulls. During the first mow it was ok it konked out once after adding gas and oil I was able to finish the job. the 2nd mow I had trouble starting and when I finally did it seemed like it was in low gear and shut down when trying to cut any high grass, so we returned (with no problems) and ungraded to a the 6.25 torque that as on sale for the same price as this one, crossing my fingers....maybe it was bad luck the lawnmower we got but we weren't happy with it.
