PowerSmart lists a 170cc OHV engine, a 21-inch steel deck and rear-wheel drive with 10-inch wheels. The 1.4-bushel bag is measured differently from the SENIX gallons, so the two bags cannot be compared directly from the listings.
The rating deserves weight
Most gas mowers on this shelf sit at 4.0 or above. This one sits at 3.6 with far more ratings than any other, so it is not a small-sample accident.
Gaps in the listing
There is no weight and no warranty term in the bullets or the details table. The other PowerSmart mowers here state two years.
Before servicing
Stop the engine and let the blade come to a complete stop before you clear the chute or reach under the deck. Fuel and oil handling is covered in the maker’s manual, and that manual outranks this page.

What this machine usually gets asked
What is rear discharge?
Clippings leave behind the mower rather than to the side. The listing names bagging, mulching and rear discharge as its three modes, so there is no side chute to fit.
Why is the rating low?
The listing shows 3.6 out of 5 across about 1,900 ratings but does not break down why. Read recent reviews on the listing before you order.
Our score
6.6/ 10
The spec is fine, the buyer rating is not. The SENIX self-propelled costs slightly less and offers a wider deck.
This one and its buyer, among lawn equipment
A medium yard with slopes where a buyer wants a known mower at a mid price and checks stock first.
The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
