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.

Give son credit for being creatively incompetent. Mine did that when I
made them cut the grass. Also Sears stuff may do the function it is
designed for but products are generally bottom line.
