Craftsman Lawn Mower Reviews

Who would think that 30 years ago there was an electric lawn mower manufactured?  Well, there was, and I have one.  A Craftsman Electric Lawn Mower.   It is not cordless, but still is the best of all my yard equipment.  Never fails to start, no gas, no oil, no spark plug, no pulling a cord, no exhaust to inhale.  It is great and I love it!

1. I don't know how this thing got passed quality control, but the handle wasn't even painted fully.  About a fourth of it was missing paint!
2. The wheels wobbled.  It looked like they would fly off any minute.
3. The height adjustment on the front left wheel kept disengaging.  At first, when the mower veered to the left, I thought I was doing something wrong.  Then I realized what happened after the second time.  Not too happy about it.

I don't think...

Almost all Sears, Wards, and "hardware store" lawn mowers are manufactured by MTD

or Murray, with specialized numbers given to whatever retailer is selling the unit, Most, if

not all engines are manufactured by Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, or Tecumseh. There are

some newer engines arriving in the USA which seem to be doing well. The Kabota diesal

engine  runs well, and with proper care will last a long time giving many hours of service.

Aluminum block engines simply do not hold up, but those with cast iron sleves hold heat

better and last much longer. Aluminum was used to reduce weight.

First time I used this lawnmower, it already had a major vibrate to it.  Paid quite a bit of money for this and wasn't expecting that.  Felt like I was paying more for the name, 'Craftsman' than the actual quality of the lawnmower.  Just was very disappointed in the quality and vibration the whole time while I was mowing my lawn.  And the cut wasn't the greatest either.  It was not a pleasant experience to mow my lawn unfortunately and just was expecting more out of buying a brand new lawnmower and the amount of money I paid.

its a piece of crap. We used it 3 times stored it in the shed and it wouldn't work. Had to be repaired. It needed 2 different things. Runs now but for how longwho knows very disappointed because I like sears craftsman.
