Lawn mowers keep advancing, and two longtime industry names—Craftsman and Briggs & Stratton—have collaborated to produce a quieter mower that addresses one of the most common complaints: noise. The Craftsman Quiet All-Wheel Drive Lawn Mower (also offered in a front-wheel-drive version) is engineered to be quiet enough for daytime or evening use without worrying about disturbing neighbors or household members. Its reduced noise level even lets you carry on a conversation while mowing without having to stop the mower.
At the heart of this model is the Briggs & Stratton Quiet Power Technology engine, developed to minimize sound and vibration while still delivering reliable cutting power. Craftsman also redesigned the cutting blades to help reduce noise further, resulting in a mower that the manufacturer claims is up to 65 percent quieter than a comparable model from another brand.
The mower is equipped with a 22-inch deck and offers three-in-one functionality for mulching, bagging, and side discharge—giving users flexibility in how clippings are handled based on lawn conditions and personal preference.
Key features include:
- All-wheel drive with variable speed to assist on slopes and challenging terrain, reducing the effort required by the operator
- EZ Store access for convenient removal and storage of clippings
- 22-inch high-performance deck designed for efficient bagging, mulching, and discharging
- D-shaped under-bail with an overmolded handle to help reduce operator fatigue
- EZ Deck wash port for quick, no-hassle cleanup of the underside of the deck
- 2.6-bu Dustblocker grass bag to help keep dirt and debris away from the operator
- Nine cutting positions with a range from 1-1/4 inch to 3-1/2 inches for versatile height adjustments suitable for flat, hilly, or uneven lawns
- Installed side discharge for immediate clipping ejection when desired
- Push-button electric start for convenient, reliable starts
- 8-inch front tires for improved maneuverability
- Weight: 92 lbs.
- Available nationwide in all 50 states
If you’re concerned about hearing protection, consider the Craftsman model powered by the 175cc OHV Briggs & Stratton engine with Quiet Power Technology. The mower is positioned as a quieter option that doesn’t compromise on performance. It is offered through Craftsman’s online store.
