I purchase this craftsman mower model number 38819 in late April. I replaced my old craftsman mower which I had for the last five years. Compare to my old mower this one is a gas saver.

My old mower used a tank of gas for my half my yard (I have a small yard).Also this mower is not a heavy which is a plus if you have steep areas on your lawn like I do. My old mower was a pain to empty, I would have bang the side many times to get the cutting out.

This mower bag is design so the cuttings dropout easily. For is size it cuts quickly and through over grown area easy. It starts every time and turns easily even with a full bag.

The Dome deck allows me to do close trimming from both sides of the mower. Its large bag allows me to go more time without unloading the clippings. I have a lawn which is not level and the 5 quick position height adjusters allows me to adjust for the different cutting levels fast.

For my street area where it’s a little more sandy I remove the bag and use the mulching feature and this mower does a good job. The mower runs vary smooth, and a has low nose level.

The only issue I had so far is that after cutting the lawn in the early morning there is a build up of grass waste around the bag intake.

However this is most likely do the morning moisture and not the mower design.

I do recommend cleaning the mower underneath the deck because this build up can cause the mower to stall. It is a great buy for the size and the price
