It matters not what brand name is on a motor, Honda, Briggs and Stratton, or Bilt Hard. There all made in China and a name plate is slapped on. You pay for a name plate. I’ve owned them all and now this new brand. What impressed me was the 201cc output. My old Honda mower finally gave up the ghost. It had 160 cc displacement, and 10 years ago cost more than this Hard Built. This eats up everything. What a beast! No problems at all. Put in the oil and started right up after 4 pulls the first time. Now it starts with the first pull. For all the people who claim they dislike leaning down to pull the starter cord from the top of the motor, you didn’t look at its design or read the instructions! Pull up the cord handle and slip the line into the widget on the right side of the push bars, up near the brake. Easy peasy. Now let’s see how it handles the test of time. As long as I can get parts after the warranty I can fix most things.
