JD with Kawasaki engine is good one. I still have it and after 14 years it
still works like new. Only thing I did was replace spark plug once, oil
change couple times, and sharpen the blades when needed.

Honda mower is pretty good as well.

If they still made them with the Kawasaki, I'd buy another. They show B&S
on them now.
