Craftsman  190cc* Briggs & Stratton Engine, High Wheel Rear Bag Push Mower 50 States

My craftsman mower of 15 years gave up the ghost this year. So I figured to upgrade with a "big name" mower. I am glad that i returned to CRAFTSMAN and made this purchase. More power, more extras, and the one pull start is fantastic. I took it out of the box, attached the handle, set up the catcher, adjusted the wheels for cutting, added oil, filled up with gas and 1 pull started. Previous 2 mowers were craftsman, and now hope this one serves me well,

Easy set up. Easy starting. Powerful. Mows the lawn terrific. Looks great. I only wish it had a throttle but this mower is very fuel efficient so it's not incredibly important. On or off. Simple.

Highly recommend this mower. Its light weight design makes it a breeze to push through the tough S. Florida Augustine grass, this light weight design was achieved by using more plastic parts than my old Craftsman, but I don?t mind it. It?s one pull quick start feature is great, it starts up all the time and no more priming the throttle. It is also a quieter than my last Craftsman which I had for more than 10 years. I've had the mower for 5 months now and it has not disappointed. Plus Sears shipped it to my house for free what a bonus!

Love it

Bought 190cc great price. But ran into problem cutting the lawn. Set both wheels at same number, found height in front not same as in back, had to set front on 4 and 3 on back to get same height cutting. Plastic wheels whats the deal? I can not see that lasting very long. But do not get me wrong, I have had good results by buying at sears. Just wish craftsman would take a little bit more time in making what they make. I would like to think it will last a long time, and not be a throw away after just a few years of using it.

Not bad for power and engine performance, but the adjustable height system is GARBAGE!! I try to keep my grass cut kind of tall, but the mower body kept falling. Sometimes I couldn't even get the mower started before I had to pick it back up and readjust the height control. The spring-loaded starter went out after only two years, and the local Sears repair shop is only open 9am to 5pm M-F. I work those hours, too. Don't people need mowers serviced on the weekends?

I can?t push fast enough to load this mower down and compared to the battery powered mower it replaced it feels weightless. I read some of the negative reviews and I do know it does not like to start hot (maybe something to do with the auto choke) but I give it 15 minutes to cool off and so far 3 pulls is the max. Anyone looking for a solid affordable push mower this is my recommendation.

I never used this. It was damaged out of the box. This is where Sears customer service bombed. The lever to adjust the height of the deck was bent into the wheel, jamming it. I could have bent it into location, but this is my first brand new mower, and who wants bent parts that look nasty on their first new thing? So I called customer service and for some reason my phone number isn't linked to my order, but I have my order number. The first guy hung up on me. The second guy, JD, couldn't help me (even with an order number!) because I didn't have the phone number linked to the order, so he gave me a phone number to call. It was Chase Bank. I love Chase, but they can't help me with my mower. So I abandoned phone calls and tried chat. They said I had to remove the part, send it to them where they will inspect it and determine if it is bent (at my cost). If it is determined to be bent, they will send me a new part and I can put it on. So I'm returning it.

The large 7.25HP motor really cuts through thick, tough St. Augustine grass without hesitation. This is a replacement for another Craftsman mover 6 years old with 4.25HP motor. Older mower struggled in Spring/Summer to cut the thick grass, this mower, no problems!! No five stars due to the large amount of plastic used vs. all metal in prior version. Time will tell if this holds up as well. Strange handle setup (triangle shaped vs. straight), but getting used to it. Softened it up using tennis wrap.

Have had it for less than 10 months,used 6-8 times at most always use stabilizer,fresh fuel,changed oil,mower stored in basement during Winter. Mower has engine problem,talk to Sears mechanic,told me they have had nothing but problems with this model.Got no help from store
