I've used a 425 for two seasons. About 100 hrs. so far.
Only problem was failure of plastic bushings on control stick pivot points.
The warranty replacements are holding up fine.
They (425s) don't have separate pumps & motors anymore.
Some folks don't like B & S engines.
I think it's a well engineered unit for being residential grade.
