Hi All , I am about to buy a new Lawnmower. I live in Canada and narrowed it down to 2 Sears Craftsmen models. They are the same push type mowers with only one difference....the engines! I have my choice of a 5.5HP Honda Engine for a price of $349 ($80 off this week!) or a 6.75HP Briggs and Stratton engine for a price of $299 ( this is the Sears value price so it is always on special)
Not that there is much difference and I am sure both are good machines, but I am wondering what you guys think is the better machine/deal/value? Which engine is better? The Briggs has more HP...is that key?
Also, very important to me is which machine/engine is more reliable and requires less maintenance and will last the longest?
Is it a coin toss or is one clearly the better choice?.....All opinions are welcomed and thxs!
