Craftsman  190cc* 22'' Front Drive Self-Propelled EZ Lawn Mower 50 States

My first ever review, so that means this product is terrible. Stop running after a couple of uses. Grew up with kenmore and craftsman, so sad to see such bad quality.

Great mower, starts every time, cuts very well. With it being front wheel drive sometimes you have to give it an extra push to go (being that they are smaller) but there is plenty of speed and power. The bad fills up quickly, but that would be the same for any bag. I would recommend this mower, it's easy to set up and use.

great engine but less than stellar mower deck and wheels. Plastic drive wheels wear out too quickly. thin metal around side discharge broke after two seasons. Have not used bag but other reviewers say it does not seal very well. I do like the no prime one pull ready start feature.

Great mower...the larger wheels on the back help to push, makes it easier, even though it is self-propelled. I bought this for my Dad..He loves it! Catcher is a little smaller than ones on older mowers but other than that ...Great buy and you know it's guaranteed!!

Second Sears mower. First one lasted 8 years.

It wouldn't start when I brought it home. It does not have a choke so if it doesn't start there is nothing you can do. Couldn't get a the salesman to help other than to tell me that I could load it up and bring it back after putting it together. It finally started after about an hour. Having been trying to start it for 3 weeks this spring and still no luck. Getting it to the repair shop isn't easy and it has been a whole lot of trouble.

Don't waste your money on this mower! I purchased my FIRST Craftsman mower in September 2012. It did a nice job the first three times I used it. Then, on the fourth time, it would not start. Called Sears and they took it back and gave me a brand new mower with no questions asked as an exchange. The Department Manager didn't seem surprised that it couldn't be started. When I brought out the SECOND one this Spring, it worked fine the first two times I ran it, but now, once again I am unable to start the mower. I will NEVER buy a Craftsman again. Learn from my mistake. Save up some extra cash and buy yourself a TORO. My dad has owned a Toro for 30+ years and except for minor tune-ups, it has never given him a problem. Oh well, live and learn!

I bought this mower because I have used an earlier version of this same mower for a decade and loved it. This new one is mostly very good. However, Craftsman had the dust-blocker bag down right 10 years ago and have completely ruined it on this newer model. Looking at the construction of the new bag compared to the old one it is obvious to anyone what they changed and why the new one does not block dust at all. Shame on them for moving backwards! It is disgraceful when a company knows how to do something well and they choose to do it badly instead. The power is great, it starts easily and everything works well except that the bag does absolutely nothing to contain dust.

The grass bag does not make a good seal with the EZbagging access door. When I started to mow, grass,dust, and dirt blew out from all sides of the access door. The entire mower was covered with dust and dirt. The area from the grass bag to the operator handles was in a cloud of dust. Rather than taking two hours to travel sixty miles, I put some self-stick weather stripping around the access door. This appears to have helped--we shall see.I cannot imagine what mowing dry leaves will be like.The rest of the mower is good.It started on the first pull,the speed control works well, and it handles nicely.
