Design flaw with air filter position

Craftsman Torque 3-in-1 Mower —
I recently bought a Craftsman 3 in 1 mower, based on my past experience with a side discharge model that ran faithfully for 12 years. The second time I used it, it began to idle erratically, nearly dying each time I changed directions or went downhill. After a lot of trouble shooting with the plug, carb, and fuel system, I came to the conclusion that it was the position of the air filter that was causing the problem. The air intake faces directly downward toward the mower deck. When using the mulching function, fine grass clippings tend to build up on the deck, then get sucked into the filter. After only two hours of use, my air filter was so choked with clippings and dust, the engine was suffocating. I'm taking it back for a refund.
