This mower is normally priced at $299.98 when I look it up on their site. Quite a few poor reviews on this mower and it's not a good deal if it's not reliable. The sale begins tomorrow (5/19) but the reviews prevent me from buying this mower.
Their claim of never needing to change the oil shows how long the mower will last. No one can make a gas powered mower that doesn't require periodic oil changes.

But then again, I live on the side of a mountain so for me it's a no-brainer. FWD does tend to be the "better" technology if your yard is 100% flat (that means no bumps either.) Otherwise, get a RWD or AWD (which is probably overkill for a mower but if the one you like has AWD, no reason - other than maybe needless complexity - to avoid it purely because it's AWD.)
I got this mower last summer at the Sam's club. It does work very very well. It's second year to use and no problem what so ever. Easy start and self propel ( rear wheel) cut well on little over an acre yard.
Spend a little more and get a battery mower. It is so much quieter, no fumes, and if you have other tools that take same battery, you have an extra battery now.
Want electric but need to be able to bag leaves and need the power of gas

I think at some point they start burning oil so they just tell you to keep adding oil. This probably ensures the purchase of a new one every 5 years. Toro has the same thing and I am skeptical. if you look at honda mowers they don't offer a no oil change engine.

Spend 40 more and get a toro with a decent warranty. Brand new 339 at my local acehardware.
