  • Great, but front wheel drive can be a problem
Style: 163cc Briggs & Stratton Engine
I only write reviews when I really like or really hate something. In general I'm happy with this mower, but I gave it only 4 stars because it does have a couple issues due to front wheel drive, which is not nearly as effective as rear wheel drive. Starts VERY easily, with no priming. Should be popular with the ladies. My wife could never start my old mower, a Huskee with rear wheel drive that lasted 20 years despite serious abuse. Folds up VERY easily, then you roll it to where you want to store it, and it takes up almost no room. Great feature. If you have an ordinary yard without extreme slopes, then this mower will get the job done without hassle. BUT, if like me, you have a VERY steep slope to mow, then you would be better off with a rear wheel drive mower. I have a 20x15 area that is so steep you have to be careful walking down it; and while I can still get it done with this mower, it's more of a challenge and a workout than I would have liked. One other thing you should know about front wheel drive - since the drive unit is in the front, the front of the mower is NOT where the cutting stops. I'm still getting used to the fact that the cutting stops about 6" behind the front of the mower. But despite those shortcomings, this is a great mower that I'm happy with. ... show more

  • Great mower, recieved with spilled oil in box tho and ruined manual, user guide.
So far this has been a great mower! I wish it was a little more powerful with the self propelled feature but that what a rear wheel drive mower is good for so really that's on me. This front wheel drive is really pretty good itself tho. The only issue I had was that when I received the mower, the oil that came with it had been cut open at some point from packaging to arriving at my place and I'm pretty sure it was prior to being packaged because the box wasn't damaged at all except that it was covered, soaked, in oil! I tried to contact Amazon for a replacement oil and manuals for my mower because they were ruined. They just told me to contact craftsman but that doesn't work either. Abd according to the reviews, most anyone who gets this mower receives the same issues including no reacement manual or oil. Therefore it's hard to register your mower with the included warranty because you can't read the manual. Other than that tho it's a great mower! I've not ever had an issue like this with Amazon before. Hopefully they can fix this problem before too many people go through the same thing. ... show more

  • Mower feels cheaply made
Pros: it’s lighter than my old Craftsman self-propelled mower It’s super nice to only have to crank the pull chord once to get it going. I haven’t used the fold up handle feature for storing it yet but that’s gonna be amazing this winter. Cons: The assembly instructions sucked cuz they showed how to assemble three different mowers and you had to pick which one was yours. Not a big deal but seriously? We can’t put specific instructions in a box for each model? I also haven’t found where it explains the attachments it came with but I admittedly haven’t looked very hard yet. They ship the hardware to you inside the box in a slider ziplock baggie. Of course my baggie had slid open just enough for all the nuts and screws to fall out and there were holes in the shipping box so I had 3 out of four bolts and 2 out of four nuts by the time I got it. This required a trip to the hardware store. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!! My mower had the same issue as another one-star reviewer where the height adjustment lever was bent into the rear tire, preventing it from rolling. After the bolt and nut fiasco, I was frustrated enough to beat the lever with a hammer til it bent enough to allow the tire to spin freely. My pro of this being lightweight is also a con because there are a lot of cheap, plastic parts on this mower, including the fuel tank (is that even safe?). My last Craftsman lasted me ELEVEN years. I think I’ll be lucky to get 3 out of this one. Final con is the same as other reviewers...the self-propel is not strong like my last mower. It gets the job done but requires more effort than my old one and the self-propel lever is cheap plastic. Overall, I would recommend finding a better mower for the cost of this one. ... show more

  • Almost there
When the delivery came, the box was beat up. Fortunately, the lawnmower seemed fine with just a little oil spillage which was easily wiped up. The problem came when I went to put it together. I first needed to undo the carriage bolts, that I believe were supposed to be screwed on the movable arm of the lawn mower, to attach the handle. Surprise! They weren’t there. So I looked for them in the bag with the manuals, but they weren’t there either. So I looked in in the original box and in one corner, near a hole in the box, I found two of four carriage bolts and one of four flange nuts. Needless to say, I couldn’t attach the handle without them. So I had to go to Home Depot and find the carriage bolts and flange nuts, cause I wasn’t going to call someone at customer service to sort it out and then wait forever to receive them, if that was even an option. The bolts I got were a little longer but they work fine. Why weren’t the bolts and nuts put in a baggie and with the manuals? That would have been the smart thing to do. The lawnmower worked fine and it was what I expected. Started up on the second pull. Lighter than my old craftsman. ... show more

  • Great mower
Style: 163cc Briggs & Stratton Engine
I could not believe it, after adding the Supplied motor oil and adding gasoline the mower started easily on the first pull. I wanted front wheel drive specifically and the variable self propelled function is perfectly adjusted for me. It can be fine tuned to suit the persons desired walking speed. I know the motor will easily handle the Florida St Augustine grass. It comes with a bag and side discharge chute but I mulch so these pieces will be garage queens. Looks to be a great mower. ... show more
