Craftsman 19" Premium Electric Lawn Mower Reviews

Great stuff!

I bought this mower a couple of weeks ago.  It's the first lawnmower I've ever owned and I have to say I love it. 

It's easy to assemble, easy to use, and quiet.  I like the ergonomic handle, it's lighter than I had anticipated and very easy to push.   Before buying this one, I used an older Black & Decker electric  that belonged to a friend and I have to say this mower is far superior.  It's quieter, lighter, and the metal body seems much more durable than the plastic body of the B&D and some of the other mowers I've seen.

Mowing with the cord can be a bit challenging, but I'm getting used...

I purchased this mower about a month ago, so while I cannot write about the long term quality of the mower, I can write about the ease of use and value for your money. Background: I recently moved from an apartment where I was not required to do any lawn work to a house with a small yard. I haven't had to mow a yard in years. Previously I have only used gas mowers, and I have found that I have difficulty when trying to start a gas powered mower.

I purchased a 100 foot cord that met the specifications for the mower, and I found that it provides ample length for my yard. Getting used to mowing with...

I love my Craftsmen Premium electric mower! mower is easy for me to operate.  I am a short woman who used this mower on a slight slope and on flat yard.  I could even manage the cord.  I tried a battery-operated mower (not a Sears product), but was unhappy having to buy multiple batteries, which made it not very economical. 

Just use the coded electric lawnmower yesterday. First time by myself and it function well. easy to use but has to figure out some plan in the wire. Has to go end to end for a loner area, from close to distance. can't push in circle, 99% will cut the code. small area can pull and push. light and easy. I can't tell any different from what I paid somebody to do it every week, But I'm sure my money will back as long as I use it more than 9 times with no pain in maintenance. The instruction is quite confusing. No picture about the mulch part has to be remove in  rear collection. need clearer set up...

This lawn mower is so easy to start, just push a button and raise the handle.  It cuts very good.  I used the bag to get most of the leaves up and it did a good job of that.

I got a electric mower the first time, and I bought the Craftsman 19" corded electric mower (37016) on Jul. 2010.  So far I have used it 6 times, and I like it more any previously owned gas mower.  It is extremely light and easy to push, and it is powerful enough to mow pretty tall grass without any problem.

The only potential negative of using a corded vs cordless is that one needs to be a little bit careful with the extension cord, but once you get used to manipulating the cord (get at least a 100' 14 gauge extension cord), it is not that bad.  I decided against the cordless one because I...

I found this mower easy to start and easy to use.  It is very quiet.  It did a good job of mowing my relatively small front yard--and the grass was pretty high the first time I mowed it.

So far we love our new electric mower.  Less noise, less maintenance, less hassle.  The mower feels much more substantial than it's plastic counterparts.  The bag, while small, is plenty for our small yard.  It is corded, so I would only recommend this for a smaller yard.  However, we have not found the cord to be annoying at all.  My husband had a little trouble at first, but the instruction guide actually gives you a "map" on the best way to manage the cord, and once you use that you're fine.  I love that it will mulch, blow, and bag without any extra purchase.  We like to collect the...

very noisy, can't use when wet

stopped working after I used it for a few times

awful customer service -- brought in the store for repairs, they said they need to charge $30 to send it for service and the manual says they will repair it for free!

total disappointment......

This mower is the closest one to gas, in power, but without the hassle. My last mower had an all plastic deck, and it was really a challenge to get it through my Saint Augustine grass, but I appreciated that it was electric, so kept working with it. It was a good day when it finally broke! I did a lot of research online and in stores, as I looked for a new mower, and looked at the Craftsman twice before deciding to buy it. I made the right choice. Because of the steel deck, (the added weight) I can now mow my lawn in half the time it used to take me, and I'm happy because I stayed with an electric...

I've only had the mower a few months, so can't speak to longevity or reliability which are important considerations.  

In the short term I am happy with its performance.  Cuts and handles well.  Quiet and no gas fume smell.  I previously had a cordless mower with a rechargable battery which was easier to handle.  However, battery life became an issue and I could not mow the entire lawn on one charge.  It does take a few trials to figure out the best pattern for mowing with the cord and thus I tend to mow in the same/easist pattern which may not be the best for the lawn.  Also, one needs...
