They are fine, but not stellar. They're made by American Yard Products, so it'll be similar to models from Craftsman. The Honda GCV190 engine is a good engine, but the transmissions likely won't last for decades of use. The engine probably wouldn't either, for that matter. If you don't plan to hold on to something that long, then it'll probably be fine. At $500 new, however, I think there are probably better options. It's one HEAVY machine, and isn't terribly maneuverable.
