I recently purchased a Sears Craftsman 19" Electric Lawnmower (the
type with a cord). On its third use (my son was mowing), the blade
hit a root and tore into the plastic housing, stuck there and stopped.

Is this type of disaster eligible for warranty repair? It seems
pretty poor design if a small irregularity like a root could cause
this kind of damage.

Is it a LAWN mower or a ROOT mower?

Remember... you get what you pay for! (or better phrased... You don't get
what you didn't pay for.)
