Craftsman 37041 Review
Craftsman 37041 4 Star Rating: Cheapism Good Pick
Summary:
The Craftsman 37041 includes welcome features such as a 22-inch deck; a 190 cc Briggs & Stratton engine; and a design that mulches, bags, or discharges grass clippings. The self-propelled front-wheel drive makes for easy maneuvering.

Craftsman 37041 reviews say mowing is easy with this model, in part because of the self-propelled engineering. Users report in Craftsman 37041 reviews posted on the Sears site that it pulls them along quickly, handily cuts the grass that crosses its path, and effortlessly swerves around trees and flower plantings. The ease of use lures even reluctant consumers out to do the chore, according to Craftsman 37041 reviews, and cuts down on mowing time. One consumer who used to take two hours to mow the lawn now finishes in an hour and 15 minutes. Users also note that assembly is accomplished in minutes, as is feeding the mower with gas and oil. While the product description on the Sears and Craftsman websites makes mention of a variable speed gear drive system, one reviewer takes both to task for incorrect information, and specs listed on a consumer product testing site list only one forward speed.

The Craftsman 37041 is a front-wheel-drive model with 8-inch wheels capable of gripping wet grass. The one-pull start (no priming or choking required) and one-hand bag removal make for satisfied owners. This model features a 190 cc Briggs & Stratton engine -- the most powerful of any model on our list -- and a 22-inch cutting deck. Consumers also note this lawn mower's mulching power in Craftsman 37041 reviews.

Craftsman 37041 reviews indicate that this relatively new model gets the job done with minimal stress. The price-to-value ratio is also appealing.

Black & Decker MM275

For a small yard, this corded electric mower receives overwhelmingly positive reviews for its lightweight 38 pounds and easy storage, start-up, and stopping. Some users take issue with having to manage the cord, but most reviewers prefer that to replacing a battery or dealing with gasoline. Six cutting heights, from 1 to 3.5 inches, can be adjusted for all wheels at once with one lever. The side bag attachment is sold separately. A 6.5 amp version is lighter and cheaper. Read more »

Scotts 2000-20 Reel Mower
Gold Medal

Scotts 2000-20 Reel Mower

This noiseless reel mower provides a classic low-tech (as in, person-power) grass-cutting solution. It's easy to maintain and store, and cuts without tearing the grass. Like other reel mowers, the Scotts 2000-20 has a cutting gap (the space between the wheels and blade), so you may need to make more passes. This 20-inch model doesn't work as well on tall grass, but users find it sufficient and even desirable for small yards. Read more »
