I bought this mower a little over 3 years ago for $300 and it has performed extremly well.Every spring it has started up right away and the only issue I've had is the cheap plastic recoil on the Honda engine that crapped out just after the warranty ran out.I just change the oil and air filter and that all I have ever done .It has out performed any other mowers I've owned in the past and still continues to surprize me how reliable the mower is.
We have not used this mower in any commercial aplications
