I purchased this model of Craftsman mower approximately one year ago, as a replacement for an older Craftsman that I bought when I purchased my first home. I have had a pretty good experience with the Craftsman line, and so far this model is meeting the standard set by the older model I had. My total grass is area is roughly 140 feet by 90 feet, so I have a decent amount to mow on a weekly basis. This Craftsman model handles this without so much as a stutter. I fill up the gas tank about once every three to four mowing jobs. The bag holds a fair amount of clippings, I usually empty after mowing the front, and then after the back. The bag is easy to remove, and slips back on without too much hassle. The dust blocker is a nice feature, though you can still get a face full when you empty the bag out. This mower seems to hold up pretty good, with just general maintenance. It starts up after the first pull, even after storing this winter. The 21 inch blade seems to be perfect for my yard, and I feel it gives adequate coverage for home usage. One feature that would be nice is the walk behind, but this mower is not too heavy, so pushing isn't a major chore. I really like that these come fully assembled at the store, so with minimal set up, you can be out and mowing the yard. It also came with a warranty, but I have not had to use this, so cannot comment on that end of the transaction. I feel that this mower is worth every penny, and that the Craftsman line continues to be a good choice for yard equipment.
