Is Craftsman a good lawn mower brand?
My husband and I are needing to buy a new push mower. We want one that is a mulching mower but can also bag and that can cut taller grass because ours grows extremely fast. I found one at Sears for 9. To be specific , it's a Craftsman 6.75 Torque, 190cc Briggs & Stratton Push Lawn Mower. (I have no idea what all those numbers mean.) But would this be a good mower for the 0 price range?

It is a good brand. Push mowers are generally priced on features rather than durability. Once above 150 dollars they are all fairly similar.
Options:
Mowing deck size
Wheel sizes
The ability to raise and lower the deck with one or more levers. 1 is most expensive, 4 is least as each lever has a wheel.
Front or rear wheel drive. Rear is more expensive. Many don’t have any drive.
Electric start
These days they can all bag or mulch.
The best push mowers cost about 400. A simple one with no features that will last if well maintained costs a 175 to 200.
190cc is the size of the engine
6.75 torque is basically how much cutting power there is
anything sold by sears is usually good
you get what you pay for you pay more you get more
toby no link to see it ,
have a good look at the mower itself check that the front and rear wheels are even with each other and as the same width you can mow up to a fence.
when you look on line at the product scroll down and read any reports from buyers can sometimes find the real story,
such as one i saw self propelled would not reverse and would lock up. wheel did not line up either side and the bag could never fill more than 3/4 full.
those reports can make a huge difference in getting something that you are going to regret later or finding out in time there are reviews for mowers on net if thinking about look for simple things then check out reviews.
One good thing is its not self propelled hate them.
they don’t normally say the torque figure but hp figure torque is the important one but hide it.
the way to fix grass that grows extremely fast is cut it extremely frequently but no more that a third at a time as normal.
more checking as to how works re reviews.
Ever try to call Sears for service or a service question. It is easier to contact space aliens. I say forget Sears and go to an outlet that offers service on the premises.
Sears has several Craftsman mowers matching that description. You can see other what other’s have said in their reviews on the MySears community. http://bit.ly/cfJQUl
Sears also has SearsYardGuru.com which helps you pick out a mower based on your yard’s needs. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Mark- Thanks!
