    Craftsman Professional Lawn Mower is the best mower I owned January 01, 2011

    This is the best model I have owned. It is very easy to use and the lawn looks excellent. Key start feature is the way to go, no more pulling to start the mower! This mower is excellent an excellent choice for yards that have flower gardens, or items to mow around. I would recommend this mower if you are in the market.

    21" craftsman pro caster mower needs better quality control March 11, 2011

    Words cannot express how dissapointed I have been with this purchase. This was supposed to be a birthday present for myself and instead it has been one big letdown after another. First, when I got my "new" mower home, I took the grass catcher off to find it full of clippings -NICE! I then looked under the deck to find the blade bent and horribly nicked to the point that the mower vibrated horribly. I spoke with a manager and they said they would exchange it, but I would have to bring it back myself. (I live 35 miles from the store) The mower was exchanged for the floor model and a charger was ordered because the first one did not have one and neither did the floor model. I got the second mower home and added oil and fired it up to a horrible racket that lasted a few seconds until THE BLADE FLEW OFF!!!!!. The blade bolt was so loose that it literally took only a few seconds of operation for it to fly off. Thankfully no one was standing nearby and it did not come towards me. After reinstalling the blade, I rechecked every other fastener to find several barely hand tight. Not even a Murray has build quality this poor and this is the pro model!

    Keep looking December 16, 2011
    By 66Chevelle of Woodbine, NJ
    Pros:
    Easy start,Plenty of power,cut really well
    Cons:
    Some cheap plastic parts,Tires keep falling off,cheaply made for the expensive price,Died at end of season

    You will need to change the hardware on the front wheels and if you adjust the height alot this is not for you. Mine also died at the end of the 1st season. I used this less than normal since we had little rain during the growing season.

    I love the swivel front wheels on my Craftsman mower. November 01, 2011
    By bbeazell of Winter Haven, FL
    Pros:
    Easy start,Plenty of power,cut really well,Sharp looking mower,Easy to use,yellow
    Cons:
    cheaply made for the expensive price,poor quality control

    Easy for my wife to operate??? I am a 65-year-old grandmother and do my own extensive lawn maintenance, including mowing 15,000 sq. ft. of lawn every four days in the hot wet summer of central Florida. You'd be wise to remove that one from your list. I bought a mower just like this one last year, and the "purchase" your survey addresses is the warranty-replacement due to the poorly designed and shoddily built gear box. In less than one year, the transmission failed completely and fortunately, the machine was replaced free of charge to me. Having said that, I will tell you that I love my mower for its swivel front wheels. Whoever decided that mowers should have stationary front wheels should have been drummed out of the design business decades ago. If more mowers were available with swivel front wheels, I would certainly be looking at other brands.

    Heavy duty mower has extra power October 31, 2011
    By drcarroll of Cohasset, MA
    Pros:
    Easy start,Plenty of power,cut really well,Power is insane
    Cons:
    Some cheap plastic parts,hard to maneuver

     

    If you have a lot of grass to cut, this mower is ideal.  It has so much power; it pulls me up the inclines in my yard! The bagger is extra large and the chute did not clog on me.

    I agree with other posters the plastic wing nuts are low rent, but they are easily replaceable with stainless versions from the local hardware store.  Otherwise, the build quality is heavy duty.  Heavy gauge steel is used and it looks like it will last a long time.

    The electric start is nice, and allows you to retract the starter cord handle down to the engine.  This way, you avoid the issue of the cord interfering with the bagger.

    Overall, I'm very satisfied with this mower.  It took some getting used to, as the extra power combined with rear-wheel drive and front casters is unlike any other mower I have used.  However, after a few uses, I became accustomed and find it rather effortless to operate.

    Great mower. Poor placement of battery A/C charger plug on mower October 25, 2011
    By BFPalmer of Rockville, MD

    Powerful, very easy starting, Love the variable forward speeds and rear wheel drive.  The a/c adapter should have an L style plug. The straight plug on the adapater that comes with it is too long and hits against the mower handle when its charging. Super easy and safe to empty the bag.  Though it is easy to burn your hands on the muffler when switching over from bag attachment to mulching attachment on a hot mower.   The black plastic wing **** work though will be easy to lose.
