Looking for honest opinions about the current sears mowers of this
series. (the red ones, not the gray ones, which are apparently MTD this
year.)

Hmm, are you good at taking things apart (and getting them back together
again)? If so, see if you can find a couple of identical old mowers from
Freecycle / Craigslist, and mix 'n match to make something good. Treat it
to some new blades, belts too if needed.

That or buy some goats :-)
