We have a Craftsman lawn mower. Though it's an old model (over 6 years old) is still works like a champ and takes the high grass with little pushing required. THIS particular model being reviewed is the one thing that makes me stop in my tracks every-time we hit Home Depot or Lowe's and just drool with want. If the mower we have already weren't as good as it is I'd sabotage it with a rock while cutting the grass just for the excuse to go buy the newer model.
