Winnowl Verdict
The Craftsman CMCMWP120M2 Battery Powered Push Lawn Mower just cleared our audit with a MEDIOCRE (68) Winnowl Index—a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit." This is an Average Performance and Mediocre Value product from a brand with Strong Brand Strength. With the Craftsman CMCMWP120M2 Battery Powered Push Lawn Mower (15-Inch, V20, Two 4Ah Batteries), the specs show that you will likely find this mower out of commission for half the day once the battery hits zero due to Charging Time of 480 mins, which sits 352% beyond the average. We recommend a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product; the 14% higher price tag results in 17% less hardware for your dollar than the class average.
