Hi...
I have a similar 3-4 year old Craftsman push mower... mow about 2,500-3,000 square feet... runs well... no mechanical problems... wheels on mine are smaller diameter... dark green color...
The bagger on mine lets any dust blow right thru onto me... It's bad in this respect... I see the one you're looking at says... "The Dust Blocker rear bag gives exceptional bagging results"... hopefully this is a lot better...
To avoid a dust bowl when things are dry with or without the bagger... i bought a Brill reel mower... manually powered...
Mine has so-so deck suction with the standard blades... have to drop it to the lowest position to suck up any harder-to-pick-up stuff... but it bags the cut grass OK...
