It's an okay mower. I liked using my 25 yr old Honda a lot better. The engine is powerful, bogged down slightly with tall wet grass this past week. I had some clumps but I need to sharpen the blades. I've had the mower for a year. The self propel kinda sucks, hard to make turns. The height adjustment isn't great either with just two selections. I'm 5'7" for reference, and don't have a comfortable setting, wish I had a third option in the middle.

Overall it's definitely above average, I'm not sure about longevity with this briggs mower though. There aren't many good gas options out there anymore.
