I recently purchased this mower and have used it one time. I like the 21 inch deck. It is not a heavy mower and is easy to use, especially on hard to mow areas. I am not happy with the rear bagger as it does not catch clippings very well. I have used it as mulching mower and have discovered that it also does not catch the clippings very well as the rear deck lid does not seal good and some clippings come out the back, particularly on the right side. There is also considerable vibration when not mowing.
If I had it to buy over again, I would probably buy a side discharge mower with a mulching attachment.
Craftsman 5.5 Torque Rating 21 in. 2-n-1 Deck Rear Bag Push Lawn Mower is not recommended by MikeALA
The most economical rear bag push unit offered at Sears. This unit is ideal for a small lawn or the first time buyer. A 5.5 ft-lbs gross torque Briggs & Stratton engine gives enough power for those small jobs. The 21" Dome style deck with Rear Bag offers close trimming from both sides. Large mouth grass bag with Craftsman Exclusive Dust Blocker makes unloading clippings faster and easier. 4 individual, 5 quick position height adjusters allowing for cutting options. The folding handle feature allows for more storage space. Fully assembled. No tools needed for assembly.
