My 2003 Craftsman with the Honda 160 GCV self propelled did very well. Doesn't burn oil. Has a simple pulley and belt system but the hand control got tiresome. My 2015 Toro 22 inch "Recycler" with the same Honda 160 GCV (but with automatic choke) works great with it's simple pulley system and the Toro "Personal Pace" push bar. The rear wheel driver works best because you can tip the mower up if it bogs. I use the recycling mode but if the grass get's really thick I put on the included plastic gizmo that holds the "door" open and allows the grass to be thrown. I don't use the included bag. Not as much exercise but at least you aren't " bagged " at the end of the mowing. Never had do do any repairs to either mower. Might buy a new belt for the old one. I keep two so the kids can help me out when they visit .
