mowingmom says "craftsman 625: not sturdy or good at edging, hills, tall grass" about Craftsman 190cc 21" Briggs & Stratton Rear Bag Push Lawn Mower

This mower, the Craftsman 625, has been a very bad purchase.

I have a double lot with mature trees in back and there are some roots and weeds that need to be mowed all with the grass, plus the lot is not totally level: there are a few dips and some holes dug by burrowing chipmunks. I was able to mow those places just fine with my Snapper but this mower does not handle tight places well. It simply cannot be maneuvered into them and worse still, it cuts out. The mower cannot reliably mulch grass that is over a week's worth of growth either; it leaves hay anyway. I have owned the machine for a year and a few months and have had to have it repaired twice in that time. Plus, Sears service has meant that they took a month to return my machine--I had to hire someone to mow my lawn during that time--and after Sears rebuilding my carburetor, the mower still does not work. I am taking the lawnmower elsewhere for repairs this time even though the work is guaranteed because I cannot handle...
