Craftsman 5.5 hp 22" Briggs & Stratton Deck 2-n-1 Mulch-Side Discharge Push Lawn Mower —

We got this basic Craftsman mower three summers ago. Have replaced the blade once. It has been reliable in operation. There's one flaw. The cover plate which blocks off the side-discharge hole (so that it becomes a mulching-type mower) did not attach well or stay attached. After much annoyance we duct-taped the cover plate shut and that has held for two summers!

Next time we are hoping that a cordless rechargeable mower will be an affordable option. They were just too expensive the last time we looked.
