Colt - loads of friends, neighbours, aquaintances have had bad experiences. Buying cheap in things like this doesn't save you money - cause you end up replacing them often. Buy decent and it will last ages - with maintenance of course. We have had B&S motors that last and last - course Husband maintains them, does oil changes, cleans them after every use etc. If you haven't got the money look for a quality one on TM - and go pick it up so you can check it properly. We got an excellent 3 in 1 decent one that way for 1/2 new price. Nothing wrong with it at all, just needed to buy a catcher for it.	pctek (84)

Cheaper is a waste of money, you'll end up spending more to fix/replace cheap things (even the cost of taking it back - postage/petrol etc) adds to the cost Unless you only used it once a year or something then it might be perfect for you. Of course, you still need to properly maintain a good quality one, which is the problem with most people. They seem to think that "Good quality" = "I don't have to maintain it because it's so good" and then wonder why it breaks. Good quality = When maintained properly, it will last a much longer time	Agent_24 (57)

Now for the real info: Would i buy one - nope It wont catch long grass at all, i have to mow the lawns every week other wise a 30 miunte job turns into a 2 hour one. My sister said it has been like that since day one... I cleaned out the catcher so it had more air flow and it helped slightly, and the blade is in good nick??. (But wet lawns are even worse - my old lawnmaster is heaps better) Motor runs fine, and starts easily enough, but if it cannot catch grass effortlessly... My sister asked how it was and unfortunately i had to be honest.. Crap bless her	Gobe1 (6290)
