CRAFTSMAN CMEMW213 20 in Mower review

A 13-amp, 20-inch corded mower with 3-in-1 cutting and a 3-year warranty, which is the longest warranty among the corded mowers here.

Why this one

CRAFTSMAN pairs a 13-amp motor with a 20-inch deck and gives you the bag and the chute. Among corded mowers here, nothing offers more for the money, and the warranty is the longest.

Listing quirks

The title says 6 height settings and the table says 3, while both agree on 1.5 to 4 inches. The 20.8-pound weight in the table also looks too low for the deck size.

Cord rules

Unplug the cord before you touch the blade, the chute or the height lever, and use an outdoor-rated extension cord with a GFCI-protected outlet, as the manual directs.

The way we judge this lawn equipment

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
