OK..people,I have had my Craftsman Lawn Mower since 1995..I have had only self inflicted problems...ya' know things like going too fast in tall grass breaks the belt,running over tree stumps will bend the blades..stupid things like that...Anyway,I digress..I enjoy cutting my grass with my mower.It is so esy to use,and I do the maintance myself twice a year.I can not find anything bad to say about Craftsman.
