Makita avoids marketing hype. A Makita 21 inch mower means a 21" blade. Other brands have 21" decks but 19" blades. It is not the cheapest brand but the pain of price is felt only once.
Super thanks for the feedback... Makita (wow, a bright blue..LOL !) and a Stihl were the two we've so far found to be in consideration, but were also very surprised to find Walmart's brand, Hart, supercharged self propelled (runs about $538) seems to also have very good reviews, so hoped to get replies from people like you who actually own and use certain one... the "star" ratings on line may, or may not (?) but genuine !
