Rating Summary
I am pleased with this mower. $180 is a fair and honest price for such a machine.
- It cuts well even in the thickest grass with out the engine getting bogged down.
- With no side chute or front bumper, it is easy to mow near and up against obstacles.
- The grass bag works well (but like all bags it will...

Was VERY easy to put together, already put together for the most part. Easy to crank, use, mulches the grass clippings for composting.
I bought this mower and have mowed my lawn one time with it. It came assembled, all I had to do is add oil and it started right up. Great, I thought, how easy it was to start that first time. Now I go to take it out for the second time and it WILL NOT start. I prime it, pull the cord and the mower runs for a couple seconds and quits. I don't care how inexpensive it is, a mower should be able to start more than ONCE. Get something else.
We were looking for an affordable lawn mower that would work well and was from a brand we knew and had a good reputation. This mower looks nice and works very well even when we've let the lawn go for a couple of weeks. Assembly was a cinch and my fiance has had nothing but good things to say about it. Picking it up at the store was also an easy and pleasant experience.
This mower is just what I needed to mow the areas that I cannot get to with my lawn tractor. It is easy to maneuver around and having the bag in the rear makes it easy to get up close to things.
Because of a sale I was able to get this rear-bag version of Sears simplest mower for just 20 bucks more, but now I'm sorry I bought it. In mulch mode (with bag removed and rear flap down) grass shoots forward from the rear cover and covers the deck and motor. What a mess! The instructions say there is supposed to be a mulch plug but mine didn't have any in the box. Attaching the bag was fairly painless but when I went over a dry area on my lawn, the rear "dust control" bag let out huge clouds of dust. What dust control? Again, what a mess! By the time I was done the mower was covered top...

I have had this mower for a few months and have used it four or five times to mow my front and back yard. However, I had to add a lot of oil everytime I wanted to use the mower. The last time I used it, I topped off the oil and began mowing, but the engine died halfway through and will no longer start. I checked the oil and it was empty. No trace of oil leaks in the grass or anywhere else, no noticable blue smoke to indicate burning oil, just no oil and a now useless mower.
I purchased the 550 series Briggs & Stratton 21" Rear Discharge mower (model 917.388191) in March 2009. After only a few mowings in the spring the engine started sounding funny. It would rev up and then slow down. There is no speed adjustment on this model. Fortunately it continues to start and mow the lawn, but it doesn't sound right. After the Fall season ends, I plan to bring it in for a warranty repair. Fortunately it has a two yr warranty
